Erosion issues are at their worst in the spring with melting snow and lots of rain. Before snow melt or rainfall, make sure all erosion and sediment controls on construction sites are in place and functional.
Inspect and maintain:
- Silt fences
- Biorolls
- Mulch
- Erosion blankets
- Sediment basins
- Inlet protection
- Other erosion and sediment control BMPs
Check for sediment deposits in:
- Surface waters
- Drainage ditches
- Site exits
- Curb and gutters
- Catch basins
- Sediment basins
- Infiltration areas
