TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM <br /> July 13, 1995 <br /> Page 9 <br /> result in an extremely low to nonexistent potential for disposal of stormwater by infiltration. <br /> Therefore, infiltration strategies used by other jurisdictions will not be considered. <br /> Erosion Control Criteria <br /> Erosion control has become a significant factor in the management of stormwater runoff. <br /> Traditionally, erosion causes land surface and stream bank deterioration. Eroded materials <br /> also fill pipes, culverts, channels, ponds, and other drainage structures. Reduced capacity and <br /> flooding can result when excessive sediment clogs the system. More recently, considerable <br /> attention is being given to the water quality aspects of erosion. Sediment loading of receiving <br /> streams increases the turbidity of these waters, which has a direct negative impact on fish and <br /> other aquatic life. In addition, metals and other pollutants may be attached physically or <br /> chemically to the eroded material. Hence, this subsection references the various requirements <br /> of erosion control by other communities. Table 3 -6 lists the erosion control provisions for <br /> several jurisdictions. <br /> • <br /> 1:\ 21 I'flask3Vm34.cug DRAFT <br />
