    (a) Permanent erosion and sediment control measures and practices 
shall be established and implemented at the earliest practicable time 
consistent with good construction and management practices.
    (b) Implementation of temporary erosion and sediment control 
measures and practices shall be coordinated with permanent measures to 
assure economical, effective, and continuous control throughout 
construction.
    (c) Erosion and sediment control measures and practices shall be 
monitored and maintained or revised to insure that they are fulfilling 
their intended function during the construction of the project.
    (d) Federal-aid funds shall not be used in erosion and sediment 
control actions made necessary because of contractor oversight, 
carelessness, or failure to implement sufficient control measures.
    (e) Pollutants used during highway construction or operation and 
material from sediment traps shall not be stockpiled or disposed of in a 
manner which makes them susceptible to being washed into any watercourse 
by runoff or high water. No pollutants shall be deposited or disposed of 
in watercourses.
