EXHIBIT A: EXISTING CHAPTER 927 927.03 STREETS UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES CODE 66B (aa) "Landslide" means the rapid mass movement of soil and rock material downhill under the influence of gravity in which the movement of the soil mass occurs along an interior surface of sliding. (bb) "Outfall" means an area where water flows from a structure such as a conduit, storm sewer, improved channel or drain, and the area immediately beyond the structure which is impacted by the velocity of flow in the structure. (cc) "Person" means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, agency, unincorporated association, municipal corporation, township, county, state agency, the federal government, or any combination thereof. (dd) "Qualified Inspection Personnel:" A person knowledgeable in the principles and practice of erosion and sediment controls, who possesses the skills to assess all conditions at the construction site that could impact storm water quality and to assess the effectiveness of any sediment and erosion control measures selected to control the quality of storm water discharges from the construction activity. (cc) "Runoff' means the portion of rainfall, melted snow or irrigation water that flows across the ground surface and eventually is returned to streams. (1) "Accelerated Runoff' means increased runoff due to less permeable surface area primarily caused by urbanization. (2) "Peak Rate of Runoff' means the maximum rate of runoff for any storm. (3) "Runoff Volume" means the total quantity or volume of runoff during a specified time period. It may be expressed in acre-feet, in inches -depth of the drainage area, or other units of volume. (ff) "Sediment" means solid material, both mineral and organic, that is in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved from its site of origin by wind, water, gravity, or ice and has come to rest on the earth's surface. (gg) "Sediment Basin" means settling facility meeting or exceeding the design specifications of a temporary sediment basin as defined in Water Management and Sediment Control for Urbanizing Areas (Soil Conservation Service, Ohio). (hh) "Sediment Control" means the limiting of sediment transport by preventing erosion, filtering sediment from water, or detaining sediment laden water, allowing sediment to settle out. (ii) "Sediment Filter" means a sediment control device such as a slit fence, straw bale barrier, or filter strip usually capable of controlling only small flow rates. 6j) "Sediment Pollution" means failure to use management or conservation practices to abate wind or water erosion of the soil or to abate the degradation of the waters of the state by soil sediment in conjunction with land grading, excavating, filling, or other soil disturbing activities on land use or being developed for non-farm commercial, industrial, residential, or other non-farm purposes. (kk) "Sensitive Area" means an area or body of water that requires special management because of its fragile nature or because of its importance to well- being of the surrounding communities, region, or the state and includes: (1) Ponds or small lakes with less than five (5) acres of surface area; (2) Small streams with gradients less than ten (10) feet per mile with average annual flows of less than 3.5 feet per second containing sand or gravel bottoms; and (3) Wetlands. (11) "Settling Facility" means a runoff detention structure, such as sediment basins or sediment traps which detain sediment laden runoff, allowing sediment to settle out. (mm) "Sheet Flow" means overland water runoff in a thin uniform layer. (nn) "Slip" means landslide as defined in paragraph (aa) of this Section.
