Drainage and Erosion Control Clause Samples
The Drainage and Erosion Control clause establishes requirements for managing water runoff and preventing soil erosion on a property. Typically, it outlines the responsibilities of parties—such as property owners or contractors—to install and maintain appropriate drainage systems, like gutters, swales, or retaining walls, and to implement measures that minimize soil displacement during and after construction. This clause ensures that water is properly directed away from structures and neighboring properties, thereby reducing the risk of property damage, environmental harm, and disputes related to water flow or erosion.
Drainage and Erosion Control a. Cross-drainage devices should be installed to:
i. Reduce water movement in ditches.
ii. To help prevent sedimentation into streams, divert water from the ditch into the surrounding forest.
iii. Provide cross-movement spillways or down-spouts where the drainage occurs on unstable or bare soil.
b. A variety of erosion control methods may be used, including geotextiles, mulches, spreading slash, straw ▇▇▇▇▇ and re-vegetating. The height of any erosion control devices should not exceed the top edge of the ditch.
c. A grass seed mix, approved by The Ministry of Environment and made up of native species, should be used for erosion control where needed along ditches and stream crossings.

Drainage and Erosion Control. If drainage pipes are located on a Lot, the owner of said Lot shall be responsible to keep such unclogged, free-flowing and in good condition. The owner's builder must sign an agreement to abide by the erosion control rule as set forth by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and applicable county and local rules and ordinances. In particular, the rule requires that erosion control practices be used during development and construction that will minimize soil erosion and sediment-laden water from flowing from the building sites and it requires the streets to be kept free of transported soil from the building site. As required, the erosion control plan for the Subdivision has been submitted to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Soil and Water Conservation District. One (1) part of the plan pertaining to individual l ots requires that prior to the start of construction, a rock driveway must be installed and entrance to the building site for all deliveries and workers should be over the driveway. To minimize sediment-laden water from being discharged into the streets and drainage ways, sand bags, straw ▇▇▇▇▇ and silt fences shall be used on all individual building sites. No owner nor builder shall be permitted to disturb the vegetation on any adjoining building site for any reason, and shall be held fully responsible for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. In connection with the foregoing, by accepting transfer of ownership of a Lot, the owner recognizes that Developer has no responsibility for erosion control and indemnifies Developer from any loss or damage that Developer may suffer by reason of the breach by the owner of erosion control responsibilities as herein set forth and under applicable law.
