VEGETATIVE EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
MEASURES SHALL INCLUDE ANY ONE (1) OR COMBINA-
TION OF THE FOLLOWING:

(A)    TEMPORARY VEGETATIVE STABILIZATION-
AREAS WHERE GRADING OR CUTTING AND FILLING OPER-
ATIONS CARRIED OUT IN SEVERAL STAGES THAT EXPOSE
SOIL TO EROSION FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME (NOT
EXCEEDING ONE (1) YEAR) SHALL BE TEMPORARILY STA-
BILIZED BY SEEDING. THE NECESSARY STEPS TO BE FOL-
LOWED TO ATTAIN AN ADEQUATE EROSION CONTROL
COVERAGE WITH TEMPORARY SEEDING SHALL BE AS
FOLLOWS:

(1)    NECESSARY EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES.

(2)    SEEDBED PREPARATION.

(3)    LIME AND FERTILIZER AS REQUIRED.

(4)    SEEDING.

(5)    MULCHING AND MULCH ANCHORING AS RE-
QUIRED.

(B)    TEMPORARY MULCH STABILIZATION—THE NEC-
ESSARY STEPS TO ATTAIN EFFECTIVE EROSION CONTROL
WITH MULCH FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME (LESS THAN
SIX (6) MONTHS) SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS:

(1)    NECESSARY EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES.

(2)    MULCHING PLACED ON A FRIABLE SOIL.

(3)    MULCH ANCHORING AS REQUIRED.

(C)    MULCHING FINAL GRADE—THE NECESSARY
STEPS TO PROTECT SOIL FROM EROSION AFTER FINAL
GRADING WHERE PERMANENT SEEDING IS DELAYED
UNTIL THE NEXT SEASON SHALL BE AS FOLLOWS:

(1)    INSTALLATION OF EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES
AS PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED OR REQUIRED.

(2)    APPLICATION OF REQUIRED LIME AND FERTILI-
ZER.

(3)    PREPARATION OF FINAL SEEDBED.

(4)    MULCHING AS REQUIRED.

(5)    MULCH ANCHORING AS REQUIRED.

(6)    PERMANENT SEEDING SHALL BE ESTABLISHED
DURING FIRST SEASON FOLLOWING MULCHING.

(D)    PERMANENT VEGATATIVE STABILIZATION-
ADAPTED GRASSES, LEGUMES, AND OTHER PLANTS ARE
AVAILABLE FOR STABILIZING EXPOSED AREAS. THE FINAL
CHOICE OF SPECIES SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY CONSID-
ERING SUCH FACTORS AS ADAPTABILITY TO CLIMATE,
