ILLINOIS URBAN MANUAL CD
The Illinois Urban Manual CD is a guide to assist developers, planners,
engineers, consultants, and local governments with "how to" step by step
conservation practices in the urban sector. This unique manual should be used as
a companion guide to the Illinois Procedures and Standards for Urban Soil
Erosion and Sedimentation Control (Greenbook), greatly expanding and updating
the procedures and specifications found in Chapter 6. It effectively replaces
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's 1987 Standards and Specifications
for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (Yellowbook). Covered in more than
1,000 pages are numerous conservation practices and standards highlighted from
the planning procedures through implementation and maintenance. Individual
chapters cover planning procedures, standards, construction and material
specifications, standards drawings and evaluation processes.
