Construction boundary fencing contains and minimizes disturbedareas, protects trees and vegetation, and prevents encroachment into SEZ orother sensitive areas. Construction boundary fencing is not property boundaryfencing, but marks the perimeter of the construction disturbance area.APPLICABILITY• Suitable for all construction sites where clearing and excavating can result insignificant soil disturbance.• Especially important in the presence of SEZ and steep sites.Advantages• Contains and minimizes the amount of land disturbed by constructionactivities.• Prevents damage to adjacent properties.• Protects vegetation and soil, which avoids or minimizes costs formitigation and/or restoration.<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• May create physical obstructions to construction activity.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS• An on-site pre-construction meeting with inspectors and constructionpersonnel is necessary to clearly determine the boundaries of theconstruction area.• Generally confine construction project areas to within 12 feet of thefootprint of structures. However, additional area may be approved by thepermitting agency.• Ensure that construction boundary fencing clearly demarcates areas ofconstruction activity, construction traffic and parking, and stock and/orspoil piles.• Protect and mark trees and other vegetation that are not designated andapproved for removal. (Refer to Section 4.5.1.5, Vegetation Protection).
