16 Tex. Admin. Code § 12.506 - Topsoil: Storage
(a) Topsoil and
other materials removed under §
12.505 of this title (relating to
Topsoil: Removal) shall be stockpiled only when it is impractical to promptly
redistribute such materials on regraded areas.
(b) Stockpiled materials shall be selectively
placed on a stable surface area within the permit area, not disturbed, and
protected from wind and water erosion, unnecessary compaction, and contaminants
which lessen the capability of the materials to support vegetation when
redistributed.
(1) Protection measures shall
be accomplished either by:
(A) an effective
cover of non-noxious, quick-growing annual and perennial plants, seeded or
planted during the first normal period after removal for favorable planting
conditions; or
(B) other methods
demonstrated to and approved by the Commission to provide equal
protection.
(2) Unless
approved by the Commission, stockpiled topsoil and other materials shall not be
moved until required for redistribution on a disturbed area.
