Construction site stormwater



Silt fence installed on a construction site.
Sediment from construction sites is managed by installation of:
  • erosion controls, such as mulching and hydroseeding, and
  • sediment controls, such as sediment basins and silt fences.
Discharge of toxic chemicals such as motor fuels and concrete washout is prevented by use of:
  • spill prevention and control plans, and
  • specially designed containers (e.g. for concrete washout) and structures such as overflow controls and diversion berms.
