Section 2 - BMPs for Activities and Methods (AM)
The BMPs listed in this section are generally applicable to all types
of land uses. Although generally written from the point of view of
construction activities and operations, these BMPs also pertain to existing
developed properties such as commercial and industrial facilities, schools
and institutions, houses and apartment buildings, etc. These BMPs focus
on good housekeeping measures that reduce or eliminate stormwater pollutants.

Section 3 - BMPs for Erosion and Sediment (ES)
The proposed BMPs listed in this section will focus predominantly on
erosion and sediment control, which is one of the most significant issues
for construction projects. It takes a coordinated effort on the part
of many individuals to implement erosion and sediment controls correctly.
Section 4 - BMPs for Industrial and Commercial (IC)
The BMPs listed in this section are generally applicable to industrial
and commercial properties, and also other land uses wherever material
handling and large-scale maintenance items occur. Some BMPs apply equally
well to residential properties and most businesses. Industrial and commercial
facilities will also want to consult the BMPs listed in Section 2 (AM),
which are generally useful for eliminating or reducing pollution generation.

Section 5 - BMPs for Residential and Homeowners (RH)
The BMPs listed in this section are generally applicable to residential
properties. BMPs from other sections (AM, ES) may be helpful in reducing
pollution or controlling erosion. Some types of stormwater treatment
(ST) BMPs may also occur on residential property or easements.
