CGP Excluded Activities
The following maintenance activities are excluded from requiring
compliance with the CGP, regardless of the acreage involved.
- Work "performed to maintain the original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, and original purpose of a ditch, channel, or other similar storm water conveyance." In other words, ditch and channel cleaning for maintenance reasons.
- Routine grading of dirt roads, clearing of the rights of way and shoulder blading.
- Pavement work such as seal coats, overlays, and spot base repair.
While these activities are excluded from the CGP requirements,
they may still require a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit.
In addition, even if an activity is excluded, but it has the potential to
produce erosion, always employ best management practices.
