Erosion Control Practices

Erosion control practices are methods used to prevent soil from being washed or blown away, especially during construction or when natural vegetation is disturbed. These techniques include installing silt fences, planting vegetation, using mulch, or constructing barriers to stabilize the soil. The goal is to protect land, water quality, and nearby ecosystems by reducing sediment runoff and maintaining soil integrity. Proper erosion control helps prevent environmental damage, maintains landscape stability, and complies with regulations, ensuring land remains functional and sustainable during and after development activities.
