Erosion and Sediment A set of plans prepared by or under the direction of a licensed professional engineer Control Plan indicating the specific measures and sequencing to be used to control sediment and erosion on a development site during and after construction.

An erosion and sediment control plan template is a tool used by environmental engineers, construction managers, or site supervisors to ensure that necessary measures and control for risks related to the impact of erosion and sedimentation on the environment are in place.

The most common types of erosion control structures are grassed waterways, chute spillways, drop pipe inlets, grade control structures, diversion terraces, and water and sediment control basins (WASCoBs). Each type performs differently, and its suitability will be determined by needs and site-specific conditions.

Sedimentation control structures means any collection ditch, containment ditch or other conveyance or impoundment used to convey runoff to an impoundment or impound runoff for the purpose of settling out sediment or suspended solids.

Chemical treatment of sediment, commonly called an active treatment system, is a relatively new form of sediment control for the construction industry. It is designed to reduce turbidity in nearby water bodies and involves collection of sediment-laden stormwater in a basin or tank, and adding a chemical flocculant.

In general, super duty silt fence and rock berms provide the most protection, and are typically indicated below steeper, longer slopes under construction during the wet season. Shorter, flatter slopes under construction during dry or frozen periods can be protected with lighter duty controls (e.g., fiber rolls).

Sediment “control” captures sediment after soil erosion has occurred and prevents it from leaving a site or reaching surface water. Compost filter socks and filter berms have been used widely as sediment control BMP, including concentrated water flow environments.

Examples of temporary measures include topsoiling, seeding, slope texturing, synthetic permeable barrier, mulching, RECP coverings, silt fence, rolls, wattles, straw bale barriers, etc.

Liquid water is the major agent of erosion on Earth. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four types of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

There are two different types of erosion and sediment controls: permanent controls (for example, diversion drains, batter chutes and sediment basins) that are designed into the road project. temporary controls (for example, check dams and sediment fences) that are regularly updated as the construction work progresses.
