This page is a summary of all City erosion and Sediment Control Requirements and is intended for use by Developers, Project Designers, Plan Reviewers, Contractors, and Inspectors to aide in development of effective erosion and sediment control plans. Many of the links below are to .pdf files.
Questions regarding this information should be directed to the Engineer of the Day at 913/895-6223.
SECTION 1 – DESIGN INFORMATION:
DESIGN CRITERIA:
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:SPECIFICATIONS: OTHER INFORMATION FOR THE DESIGNER:
- City Erosion Control Drawings
- APWA Division III Drawings – Erosion and Sediment Control (all adopted except ESC 02, 13, 19, 28 and 31)
OTHER RESOURCES: These documents are not City-adopted standards, but they may be useful to a project designer.
- ESC Plan Requirements and Plan Checklist
- Erosion Control General Notes (required on all ESC plans and plan submittals)
- Sediment Basin Design Example
- Single Family Residential ESC Standards and Templates
- Protecting Water Quality – a Field Guide to Erosion and Sediment Control in Kansas and Missouri
- EPA Manual – Stormwater Management for Construction Activities
- EPA Best Management Practices Fact Sheets
SECTION 2 – CONSTRUCTION & INSPECTIONS
Contractors are required to maintain a copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on the job at all time. The SWPPP is intended to be a living document, with changes shown as work proceeds. In addition, the contractor must do their own self-inspections at least once per month and within 24 hours of a ½-inch rainfall event. Failure to maintain the SWPPP and do the inspections are among the most common violations cited when EPA or KDHE investigates a site.
These documents are intended to provide a guide to the contractor for self-inspections and maintaining a SWPPP. They may not meet all the requirements of the EPA and Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
