Abstract
Control of sedimentation from construction sites is accomplished through the utilization of a variety of erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs). The complexity of the erosion prevention and sediment control (EPSC) plan varies depending on the individual site conditions. The goal of implementing the erosion control plan is to limit the quantity of sediment being eroded from, and leaving a construction site. This is partially accomplished through the implementation of sediment control BMPs. However, these sediment trapping controls typically only remove a small portion of the clay particles eroded from the site. The best protection is provided by a combination of practices including temporary and permanent stabilization, flow diversions, and streambank protection, all which minimize the amount of soil that is eroded from the site.
