DEM ANNOUNCES NOTICE OF PROPOSED UPDATES TO RHODE ISLAND STORMWATER 

DESIGN AND INSTALLATION STANDARDS MANUAL - MINIMUM 

STANDARD 10 AND APPENDIX A CHECKLIST

 

Minimum Standard 10 of the Rhode Island Stormwater Design and
Installation Standards Manual (RISDISM) is being revised to be
consistent with the Performance Criteria for Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Measures already adopted into the 2013 RIPDES
Construction General Permit and the 2014 RI Soil Erosion and Sediment
Control Handbook. The proposed revisions focus solely on changes to
Minimum Standard 10 of the RISDISM which addresses erosion and
sedimentation control practices that must be utilized during the
construction phase as well as during any land disturbing activities for
those projects subject to the requirements of the RISDISM. In order to
accomplish this goal the proposed changes include the addition of new
performance criteria. All new permit applications submitted to the DEM
and the CRMC will be required to comply with the proposed performance
criteria sixty (60) days from the date of filing of this amendment with
the Secretary of State's office. 

   

In addition to modifying Minimum Standard 10, the application checklist
in Appendix A of the RISDISM is being deleted from the regulation. The
removal of the Appendix A checklist from the RISDISM will enable it to
be modified as needed to assist the public in complying with the RISDISM
when applying for land development permits within the State of Rhode
Island.

amendments can be obtained at the following website:
