penneable surfaces to allow more percolation of storm water into
the ground;
c. Minimize, to the maximum extent practicable, the amount of storm
water directed to Impermeable areas;
d. Minimize, to the maximum extent practicable, parking lot pollution
through the use of appropriate BMPs, such as retention, infiltration
and good housekeeping;

project site including, but not limited to, regulation of the length of
time during which soil may be exposed and, in certain sensitive
cases, the prohibition of bare soil; and
