Section 750.481   Engineering Methods for On-Site Actions − Surface Water Controls

These are remedial techniques designed to reduce waste infiltration and to control runoff at release areas.  They also serve to reduce erosion and to stabilize the surface of covered sites.  These types of control technologies are usually implemented in conjunction with other types of controls such as the elimination of groundwater infiltration and/or waste stabilization, etc.  Technologies applicable to surface water control include the following:

a)         Surface seals;

b)         Surface water diversion and collection systems:

1)         Dikes and berms;

2)         Ditches, diversions, waterways;

3)         Chutes and downpipes;

4)         Levees;

5)         Seepage basins and ditches;

6)         Sedimentation basins and ponds;

7)         Terraces and benches.

c)         Grading;

d)         Revegetation.
