(ii) A description and the location of all existing and proposed on-site drainage and
dewatering facilities.
(iii) The timing and sequence of each proposed earth change.
(iv) The location and description for installing and removing all proposed temporary soil
erosion and sediment control measures.
(v) A description and the location of all proposed permanent soil erosion and sediment
control measures.
