Managing Stormwater Sediment Best Management Practices Guidance

This document provides guidance for stormwater collection and conveyance systems, which have been designed, constructed, operated, and maintained for the purpose of providing treatment of stormwater. Stormwater collection and conveyance systems help protect infrastructure from flooding and they collect and concentrate pollutants to prevent them from reaching lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and other waters of the state where they could have a negative effect on water quality, aquatic animals, or human health. Managing contamination and pollutants in stormwater collection and conveyance systems should be expected and sampling is required prior to disposal, or beneficial use (e.g. fill, topsoil, or compost) to determine proper management.
