4.5.1.1 CONSTRUCTION PLANNING AND SCHEDULINGAlternative Names: Construction Sequencing, SchedulingDESCRIPTIONConstruction planning and scheduling is the development of a specific workplan and schedule that coordinates the timing of land-disturbing activities andthe installation of erosion and sediment control measures.SITE SUITABILITYApplicable to any construction project that disturbs soil, but particularly usefulfor large or complex projects, or those involving numerous sub-contractors.Advantages• Limits the amount of soil disturbed at any given time, by establishingphasing (sequencing) of the project.• Anticipates the potential for erosion and sediment control issues, so thateffective control devices can be employed for all project phases. Developscontingency plans for all anticipated potential erosion and sedimentproblems in all phases of project implementation.<strong>BMP</strong> DESIGN APPROACHPollutant SourceControlHydrologic SourceControlStormwater TreatmentSCALE OF APPLICATIONAll SFR and MFR < 1acreMFR 1-5 Acre andCICU < 5 acresMFR and CICU > 5acres and all WQIPsTYPE OF APPLICATIONTemporaryPermanentDisadvantages• Requires a committed willingness to communicate, educate, andcoordinate within the construction team and between multiplecontractors, engineers, and inspectors/agencies.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS• Grading over 3 cubic yards is prohibited between October 15 and May 1unless regulatory agency approval is granted.• Construction site must be winterized before October 15.• Grading activities are prohibited when the site is covered with snow or is ina saturated, muddy, or unstable condition. A project area must be equippedwith effective erosion and sediment control <strong>BMP</strong>s whether active orinactive.• Identify the physical opportunities and constraints of the project site asfollows:• Topography – A topographic map that shows the existing project areaand site conditions. A contour interval of 2 feet for slopes less than 30percent is preferred. For slopes 30 percent and greater, a 5-foot contourinterval is generally acceptable.• Drainage – Flow paths of runoff across any proposed project area,including locations where water will enter and leave the legal boundariesTRPA <strong>BMP</strong> HandbookChapter 4: <strong>BMP</strong> Toolkit2012 4.5.1.1-Construction Planning and SchedulingPage 1
