Methods used on construction sites to prevent rain from washing loose soil into storm drains and waterways.
Measures implemented on a construction site to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation of waterways, storm drains, and adjacent properties. Erosion control includes both temporary measures (silt fences, sediment basins, hydroseeding) and permanent measures (seeding, sodding, bioswales, riprap). Most jurisdictions require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that documents erosion control measures.
The SWPPP required erosion control measures to be installed before any grading began and inspected weekly throughout construction.
