The intent of the soil erosion provision is to prevent soil erosion and control sedimentation as a result of nonagricultural practices and development including road construction.  Permits direct and regulate water disposal and protect soil surfaces before, during, and after construction. These permits are granted to protect public health and ensure nondegradative impacts to natural resources.
