will follow BMPs contained within the Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey. This is necessary to avoid adverse impacts of displaced soil (geologic substrate) on adjacent lands. It will include engineering standards and vegetative standards to control land disturbance activities. Standards to be employed include:

• installing sediment barriers (silt fence) around the entire development envelope to intercept and detain potential transported sediment;
• temporary stabilization by spreading seed, mulch and salt hay to reduce potential damage from wind and water erosion until permanent stabilization is accomplished;
• permanent vegetative cover of grass seed mix after final grading;
• if necessary, water will be applied to prevent the establishment of dust from exposed soil surfaces;
• stabilized pad of clean crushed stone located at points where traffic will be accessing a construction site.

Proper grading will protect against soil loss from erosion, enhance establishment of permanent vegetative cover and help to properly manage stormwater runoff, all of which will reduce off-site discharge of pollutants.

Infiltration facilities are designed with verified soil permeability data and conservative design infiltration rates to ensure long term performance without soil instability or excessive groundwater mounding. Basin bottom elevations maintain adequate vertical separation from the seasonal high water table, preventing groundwater breakout, soil saturation, and structural instability.

Long term protection is ensured through routine inspection and maintenance of stormwater infiltration systems, including sediment removal and vegetation management, to preserve infiltration performance and groundwater protection over the life of the project.

5.3 Ocean County Soil Survey

According to the SSURGO GIS data layer provided by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, (NRCS) the site is underlain by three (3) soil mapping units representing three (3) soil series (refer to Figure 9: Ocean County Soil Survey Map). The following major soil descriptions are referenced from the USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey (USDA NRCS).

DocBO – Downer loamy sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes, Northern Tidewater Area

The Downer component makes up 80 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 0 to 5 percent. This component is on low hills, knolls, coastal plains. The parent material consists of loamy fluviomarine deposits and/or gravelly fluviomarine deposits. Depth to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is well drained. Water movement in the most restrictive layer is moderately high. Available water to a depth of 60 inches is moderate. Shrink-swell potential is low. This soil is not flooded. It is not ponded. There is no zone of water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 1 percent. Nonirrigated land capability classification is 2s. This soil does not meet hydric criteria.

MumA – Mullica sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes

The Mullica component makes up 90 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. This component is on flood plains on coastal plains, depressions on coastal plains, drainageways on coastal plains. The parent material consists of loamy and sandy fluviomarine deposits. Depth to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is very poorly drained. Water movement in the most restrictive layer
