Erosion Control, Sediment Control
and Stormwater Management
on Construction Sites
and Urban Areas
The Handbook recognizes that erosion and runoff are influenced by the combination of climate, topography, soils, vegetative cover and the extent of land-disturbing activities. Because topography, soils, environmental conditions, and to a lesser extent local climate vary widely over the state, the application of the procedures and criteria in the Handbook should be tailored to local site-specific conditions and user objectives.
Erosion at construction sites and sediment-laden and turbid stormwater runoff impact individuals, our society and the environment. Damages occur on-site and off-site if land, water and related resources are degraded. Similar impacts may occur as a result of erosion in urban areas on non-construction sites.
