Blue-Book "Lite"
Common Erosion and Sediment Control Standards for Code Enforcement Officers and Inspectors
The Blue Book "Lite" (pdf, 1.4 MB) is a compilation of the more commonly used erosion and sediment control practices extracted from the unabridged New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, the so-called "Blue Book." The "Lite" was compiled for training purposes because construction stormwater site inspectors need to be familiar with the standards and specifications from the "Blue Book," and the "Lite" contains more frequently encountered practices during inspections. The numbers in the Table (left column) represent the pages where the content (right column) would be found in the "Blue Book." Go to New York Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Controls to view or download the full document. The "Lite" has also been broken into two smaller portions for downloading, which can be found in the right column of this page.
