Design & Construction Standards 

Volume I includes changes in the following sections:

2-2     Added text: “The CSWGP SWPPP may be submitted to the City for review to meet Minimum Requirement #2 if all Manual requirements are addressed.”

2-3     Added Text: “At minimum, the Construction SWPPP should include narrative and drawings. All BMPs should be clearly referenced in the narrative and marked on the drawings.”

2-4     Added text: “The Construction SWPPP shall be implemented beginning with initial land disturbance and until final stabilization. The construction of sediment control BMPs are one of the first steps in grading. These BMPs must be functional before other land disturbing activities take place.”

3-18 and 3-19     Changed to 4” Crushed Surfacing Base Course under sidewalks and curbs.
