<br />(pp) SEDIMENT SRTUNG POND means a temporary Sediment Pond that <br />rel~ases runoff at a controlled rate. It is designed to slowly release runoff, detaining it <br />long enough to allow most of the sediment to settle out of the water. The outlet <br />structure is usually a designed pipe riser and barrel. The entire structure is removed <br />after construction. Permanent storm water detention structures can be modified to <br />function as temporary Sediment Basins. <br /> <br />(qq) SEDIMENT CONTROL means the limiting of sediment being transported by <br />controlling erosion or detaining sediment"laden water and, allowing the sediment to <br />settle out. <br /> <br />(rr) SEDIMENT BARRIER means a sediment control device such as a geotextile <br />Silt Fence or a grass Filter Strip, usually capable of controlling only small flow rates. <br />(Straw bale barriers are not acceptable.) <br /> <br />(ss) SEDIMENT BASIN means a temporary Settling Pond that releases runoff at <br />a controlled rate. It is designed to slowly release runoff, detaining it long enough to <br />allow most of the sediment to settle out of the water. The outlet structure is usually a <br />designed pipe riser and barrel. The entire structure is removed after construction. <br />Permanent storm water detention structures can be modified to function as temporary <br />Sediment Basins. <br /> <br />(tt) SEDIMENT POLLUTION means a failure to use management or <br />conservation practices to control wind or water erosion of the soil and to minimize the <br />degradation of water resources by soil sediment in conjunction with land grading, <br />excavating, filling, or other soil disturbing activities on land used or being developed for <br />commercial, industrial, residential, or other purposes. <br /> <br />(uu) SENSITIVE AREA means an area or water resource that requires special <br />management because of its susceptibility to sediment pollution, or because of its <br />importance to the well-being of the. surrounding communities, region, or the state and <br />includes, but is not limited to, the following: <br /> <br />(1) Ponds, wetlands or small lakes with less than five acres of surface area; <br /> <br />(2) Small streams with gradients less than ten feet per mile with average <br />annual flows of less than 3.5 feet per second containing sand or gravel <br />bottoms; <br /> <br />(3) Drainage areas of a locally or Ohio designated Scenic River; or <br /> <br />(4) Riparian and wetland areas. <br /> <br />8 <br />
