G. Assure that storm water controls are incorporated into site plan- ning and design at the earliest possible stage. H. Prevent unnecessary stripping of vegetation and loss of soil, es- pecially adjacent to water resources and wetlands. Reduce the need for costly maintenance and repairs to roads, embankments, sewage systems, ditches, water resources, wet- lands, and storm water management practices that are the result of inadequate soil erosion, sednnent and storm water control. J. Reduce the long -term expense of remedial projects needed to ad- dress problems caused by inadequate storm water, erosion and sed- iment control. K. Require the construction of storm water management practices that serve multiple purposes including flood control, soil erosion and sediment control, and require water quality protection; and encourage such practices that promote recreation and habitat preservation. L. Ensure that all storm water management, soil erosion and sedi- ment control practices are properly designed, constructed, and maintained. (3) Scope: This regulation applies to development areas having new or relocated projects involving highways, underground cables, pipe- lines, subdivisions, industrial projects, cormnercial projects, building activities on farms, redevelopment of urban areas and all other land us- es not specifically exempted. This regulation does not apply to: A. Land disturbing activities related to producing agricultural crops or silviculture operations regulated by the Ohio agricultural sedi- ment pollution abatement rules (1501: 15 -3 -01 to 1501: 15 -3 -09 of the Ohio Administrative Code) and existing at the time of passage of this regulation.

Other surface mining operations regulated by Chapter 1514 of the Ohio Revised Code and existing at the time of passage of this reg- ulation. (b) Construction Site Conservation Plan: In order to control storm water dam- age and sediment pollution of water resources, wetlands, riparian areas, oth- er natural areas, and public and private lands, the owner of each develop- ment area shall be responsible for developing a comprehensive construction site conservation plan. This plan will address storm water management (volume and peak rate of runoff), soil erosion, sediment and other wastes control. This plan must contain a description of controls appropriate for each construction operation covered by these regulations, and the operator must implement the planned controls in a timely manner. The plan and BMPs used to satisfy the conditions of these regulations shall meet the 35
