Erosion Control

Soil erosion is a process in which water runoff from rainfall carries away soil from the work site, displacing it.

While this is a natural process in ordinary circumstances, the disturbance of construction can expose too much soil from being runoff too quickly. This can cause several problems in adjacent areas where the runoff soil will accumulate and contribute to habitat destruction, flooding, and clogs in municipal drainage facilities, etc. The vast majority of counties and locales have soil erosion control laws that task those doing construction work to minimize and prevent soil erosion.

In land development, erosion control is important for a number of reasons. Not only does it prevent water pollution due to runoff and the potential habitat loss that can happen near ecosystems with unstable soils but also helps staves off soil loss which ultimately protects your property from major damage as well! In urban areas specifically where buildings are more susceptible than other types landscapes like natural forests or grasslands–erosion has become an even greater concern because if you aren’t careful enough high winds could change all at once turn what was once beautiful scenery into little else besides a wasteland.

In addition there exist certain techniques related directly towards managing stormwater issues including installing bioswales (a type rain garden) along riverbanks; establishing greenbelts around communities, and many more erosion control techniques.
