The 2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Erosion and Sediment Control
A manual for the design, installation and maintenance
of soil erosion and sediment controls that fulfills the requirements of
Connecticut's Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act (see CGS 22a-328,
Connecticut General Statutes). Starting in May 2002 these guidelines replaced the
1988 guidelines on soil erosion and sediment control.
The 2002 Guidelines contain information on the history of erosion and sediment control, an
explanation of the erosion and sediment control process, sediment and pollution
damage, how to develop an erosion and sediment control plan, details on 46
specific erosion and sediment control measures and 13 appendices including a 27x39 inch
poster containing a summary of all the measures and
applicability limitations. For use in the office and in the field.
Hardcopies are soldout. See also the
Errata Sheet for 2002 CT Guidelines on Erosion and Sediment Control on the
DEP website (Exit CRCCD). The 2004 Connecticut Stormwater Quality Manual.
This manual provides guidance on the measures
necessary to protect the waters of the State of Connecticut
from the adverse impacts of post-construction stormwater runoff. The
guidance provided in this manual is applicable to new development,
redevelopment, and upgrading existing development. The manual addresses on
site planning, source control and pollution prevention, and stormwater
treatment practices. Sizing criteria for structural stormwater treatment
practices to meet pollutant reduction, groundwater recharge, runoff volume
reduction, and peak flow control requirements is also provided as well as
detailed guidance on the design, construction, and maintenance of
each stormwater treatment practice discussed.
