Importance of Erosion Control

Soil and Landscape Protection: By implementing erosion control measures, construction sites can protect the integrity of soil and landscape and minimize impacts on natural ecosystems.

Prevent sediment runoff and water pollution: Active erosion control measures, such as silt fences, sedimentation basins, and vegetated buffers, can help protect water quality and aquatic ecosystems by trapping sediment before it reaches water bodies.

Minimize infrastructure damage: Effective erosion control measures, such as stabilizing slopes and managing stormwater runoff, can help minimize infrastructure damage and prevent accidents caused by erosion-related issues.

Promote sustainable development: Incorporating erosion control into construction projects is consistent with the principles of sustainable development. By protecting soil, water resources and ecosystems, erosion control contributes to long-term environmental health and resilience.
