Section 5.9 - EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL

DelDOT will work cooperatively with Delaware Department of Natural Resources and delegated agencies to ensure proper erosion control. These agencies include New Castle County Land Use Engineering, New Castle County Conservation District, Kent Conservation District (KCD), and Sussex Conservation District (SCD).

All developments shall require a plan for erosion control measures during construction, following the requirements outlined in DSSR. The erosion and sediment control measures shall be designed following applicable regulations, guidelines and standards, such as: the Delaware Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (Delaware ESC Handbook), to minimize erosion and sedimentation during earth moving operations.

When the proposed roadway work is limited to the site and the entrance, and the new impervious area is less than 5,000 sf, the review of the design and construction of stormwater management and erosion and sediment control facilities will be performed by a non-DelDOT delegated agency for DSSR enforcement

If the proposed roadway work is not contiguous with the land development proposal, the review of design and construction of erosion control plans shall be performed by DelDOT for DSSR enforcement. DelDOT will sign the plans upon determination of full compliance of the plans and reports with the requirements of DSSR indicating that the plans meet the requirements of State and Federal sediment and stormwater regulations.
