Pollution Prevention Practices for Construction Activity
Rain that falls onto construction sites is likely to carry away soil particles and other toxic chemicals on construction sites. If stormwater is not properly managed, it can carry these pollutants to our water-ways. Erosion control practices can serve as a first line of defense, minimizing clean up and maintenance costs, and the impacts to water resources […]
Stormwater Permit Requirements
Planning and permitting requirements exist for construction activities. These requirements are intended to minimize storm water pollutants leaving construction sites. Perimeter controls (e.g. silt fence) Sediment traps Immediate vegetation Phased, minimized grading Construction entrance Protection of streams and drainage ways Knowing your requirements before starting a project and following them during construction can save you […]
