(g) CONCENTRATED STORMWATER RUNOFF: Any stormwater runoff that flows through a drainage pipe, ditch, diversion, or other discrete conveyance channel. (h) CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE: The permitted points of ingress and egress to development areas regulated under this regulation. (i) DEVELOPMENT AREA: A parcel or contiguous parcels owned by one person or persons, or operated as one development unit, and used or being developed for commercial, industrial, residential, institutional, or other construction or alteration that changes runoff characteristics. (j) DEWATERING VOLUME: See current Ohio Rainwater and Land Development Manual. (k) DISCHARGE: The addition of any pollutant to surface waters of the state from a point source. (1) DISTURBANCE: Any clearing, grading, excavating, filling, or other alteration of land surface where natural or man-made cover is destroyed in a manner that exposes the underlying soils. (m) DISTURBED AREA: An area of land subject to erosion due to the removal of vegetative cover and/or soil disturbing activities such as grading, excavating, or filling. (n) DRAINAGE: (1) The area of land contributing surface water to a specific point. (2) The removal of excess surface water or groundwater from land by surface of subsurface drains. (o) DRAINAGE WATERSHED: For the purpose of this regulation the total contributing drainage area to a BMP, i.e., the "watershed" directed to the practice. This includes offsite contributing drainage. (p) DRAINAGE WAY: A natural or manmade channel, ditch, or waterway that conveys surface water in a concentrated manner by gravity. (q) EROSION: The process by which the land surface is worn away by the action of wind, water, ice, gravity, or any combination of those forces. (r) EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL: The control of soil, both mineral and organic, to minimize the removal of soil from the land surface and to prevent its transport.from a disturbed area by means of wind, water, ice, gravity, or any combination of those forces. (s) FINAL STABILIZATION: All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of at least 80% coverage for the area has been established or equivalent stabilization measures, such as the use of mulches or geotextiles, have been employed. In addition, all temporary erosion and sediment control practices are removed and disposed of and all trapped sediment is permanently stabilized to prevent further erosion. Final stabilization also requires the installation of permanent (post-construction) stormwater control measures (SCMs). (t) GRADING: The excavating, filling, or stockpiling of earth material, or any combination thereof, including the land in its excavated or filled condition.
