Erosion and Sediment Control

Erosion and Sediment Control refers to practices used to prevent soil and sediment from being washed away by wind or water, especially during construction or land disturbance activities. When soil is exposed, it can easily erode, leading to environmental issues like water pollution and habitat loss. Control measures include planting vegetation, using mulch, creating barriers, and installing silt fences to hold soil in place. These practices help protect waterways, maintain land productivity, and promote sustainable development, ensuring that ecosystems remain healthy while managing human activities effectively.
