action of wind, water, ice, or gravity as a product of erosion.
<br />FF. SEDIMENTATION: The deposition of sediment in water resources.
<br />SITE OWNER/OPERATOR: Any individual, corporation, firm, trust, commission, board,
<br />public or private partnership, joint venture, agency, unincorporated association, municipal
<br />corporation, county or state agency, the federal government, other legal entity,
<br />or an agent thereof that is responsible for the overall construction site.
<br />GG. SOIL DISTURBING ACTNITY: Clearing, grading, excavating, filling, or other alteration
<br />of the earth's surface where natural or human made ground cover is destroyed and that may
<br />result in, or contribute to, increased storm water quantity and/or decreased storm water
<br />quality.
<br />HH. STABILIZATION: The use of Best Management Practices that reduce or prevent soil
<br />erosion by storm water runoff, trench dewatering, wind, ice, gravity, or a combination
<br />thereof.
<br />II. STRUCTURAL STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICE: Any constructed
<br />facility, sh•ucture, or device that provides storage, conveyance, and/or treatment of storm
<br />water runoff.
<br />JJ. SURFACE WATERS OF THE STATE: All streams, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, wetlands,
<br />or other waterways situated wholly or partly within the boundaries of the state, except those
<br />private waters which do not combine or affect a junction with surface water. Waters defined
<br />as sewerage systems, treatment works or disposal systems in Section 6111.01 of the Ohio
<br />Revised are not included.
<br />KK. TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD: The sum of the existing and/or projected point
<br />source, nonpoint source, and background loads for a pollutant to a specified watershed,
<br />water body, or water body segment. A TMDL sets and allocates the maximum amount of a
<br />pollutant that may be introduced into the water and still ensures attainment and maintenance
<br />of water quality standards.
<br />LL. WATER QUALITY VOLUME. The volume of runoff from a contributing watershed that
<br />must be captured and treated, equivalent to the maximized capture volume as defined in the
<br />American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Manual and Report on Engineering Practice
<br />No. 87 and Water Environment Federation Manual of Practice No. 23 titled Urban Runoff
<br />Quality Management.
<br />MM. WATER RESOURCE: Any public or private body of water; including wetlands; the area
<br />within the ordinary high water level of lakes and ponds; as well as the area within the
<br />ordinary high water level of any brook, creek, river, or stream having a defined bed and
<br />bank (either natural or artificial) which confines and conducts continuous or intermittent
<br />flow.
<br />NN. WATER RESOURCE CROSSING: Any bridge, box, arch, culvert, truss, or other type of
<br />structure intended to convey people, animals, vehicles, or materials from one side of a
<br />watercourse
<br />to another. This does not include private, non-commercial footbridges or pole mounted
<br />aerial electric or telecommunication lines, nor does it include below grade utility lines.
