As part of that plan, grading operations would be scheduled to avoid the rainy season and be implemented by interim engineering control measures. Before grading is stopped, slopes would be directed to carry runoff to areas where erosion and sedimentation can be controlled. Truck beds would be hosed down to reduce soil spillage on paved roads and wind-blown dust. Relocation of Littlejohns Creek could lessen the sedimentation potential to the creek. • Completed cells will be stabilized by the planting and maintenance of drought-resistant grasses. This will inhibit wind and water erosion and maximize the fertility of the soil in order to facilitate revegetation. • Temporary plantings, geofabric drapes, and erosion-preventing diversions of surface water will be constructed as appropriate on temporary slopes. • Regular operational and post-closure monitoring of erosion control structures and plantings will be done for a minimum of five years.
