T ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of
A
engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents
developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization
needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural eld equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil
and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering,
electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management.

NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by
anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attrib-
utable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure
compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting
D
themselves against liability for infringement of patents.
ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of
2005 are designated as ASAE, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering
Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as ASABE.
A
Standards designated as ANSI are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE.
Adoption as an American National Standard requires verication by ANSI that the requirements for due process,
consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE.
R
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has
been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple
majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a
concerted effort be made toward their resolution.

CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures
of ASABE require that action be taken periodically to reafrm, revise, or withdraw each standard.

2 General
2.1 Symbol philosophy. Continuous erosion- and sediment-control
practices, such as silt fences, will be represented by a continuous-
treatment symbol. Point treatments (those practices placed at one or
more isolated spots at the construction site) will be represented by a 3.1.5 temporary gravel construction entrance/exit: A graveled area or
point-treatment symbol at each point where the practice is to apply. pad located to stabilize points where vehicles enter or leave a
Area treatment practices will be represented by at least one symbol construction site (point-treatment symbol).
enclosed in a circle (an area-treatment symbol) inside the area
boundary.
2.2 Drawing legend. The drawing legend shall identify all symbols used
and provide necessary information in a concise manner.
3.5.2 outlet stabilization structure: A structure designed to reduce 3.7.2 sediment basin: A pond at the upper end of a conveyance or
energy and control erosion at the outlet of a channel or conduit (point- reservoir for detaining particle-laden water for a sufficient length of time
treatment symbol). for deposition to occur (point-treatment symbol).
3.6 Inlet protection 3.7.3 silt fence (sediment fence): A temporary sediment barrier
3.6.1 excavated drop inlet protection (temporary): An excavated area consisting of filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched, and supported
in the approach to a storm drain drop inlet designed to capture sediment by posts (continuous-treatment symbol).
before runoff enters drain (point-treatment symbol).
3.6.4 sod drop inlet protection: Permanent grass sod placed around a
storm drain drop inlet located in a stabilized, seeded area to prevent 3.8.2 permanent stream crossing: A permanent structure installed
erosion at the inlet (point-treatment symbol). across a stream or watercourse to carry traffic (point-treatment symbol).
