Devices and methods that catch soil particles already washed loose by rain before they enter storm drains or streams.
Measures used to capture soil particles already mobilized by erosion before they leave the construction site or enter waterways. Sediment control works in tandem with erosion control to manage stormwater on construction sites. Common measures include sediment basins, sediment traps, fiber logs, wattles, and check dams in drainage channels.
Sediment basins were sized to provide 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre of disturbed drainage area per local requirements.
