 **Considerations for Construction Sequencing**
 ^Construction Activity^Schedule Consideration^
-|'''Construction access''' - Construction entrance, construction routes, equipment parking areas|First land disturbing activity - stabilize bare areas immediately with gravel and temporary vegetation as construction takes place.|

+=====Construction and Maintenance=====
+  *Remove all temporary practices after the site has been permanently stabilized
+  *Amend the schedule as needed to account for delays encountered during construction
+=====Method to Determine Practice Efficiency=====
 The efficiency of this practice is derived from limiting the amount of time that areas of the site are left bare and exposed.  To determine the efficiency of this practice, use the new, shortened exposure time and replace the pre-existing one in the USLE and recalculate.  The difference between the two equations is the efficiency for the practice.
