Erosion and sediment control project specialists
Sedimentation and soil control projects typically involve implementing measures to prevent or reduce the amount of sediment that is discharged from a construction site or other disturbed area into nearby waterways or other sensitive environments.
The specific components of a sediment control project can vary depending on the site and the project requirements, but some common elements include:
1. Site assessment: Before we perform a site visit to assess the system location and plan for logistics, a site assessment needs to be conducted by third party engineers and consultants to identify the potential sources of sediment and evaluate the surrounding environment. This may involve assessing the topography, soil types, vegetation, and other factors that could influence sediment runoff.
2. Planning and design: Based on the site assessment, a soil and sediment plan is developed that outlines the specific measures that will be used to prevent or reduce sediment runoff. This plan may include details on the types of erosion and sediment practices to be used, such as sediment basins, silt fences, or erosion control blankets.
3. Implementation: Once the plan is developed, soil erosion control measures are implemented on the site. This may involve installing physical barriers, stabilizing slopes, or other activities to prevent soil erosion and sediment runoff.
4. System Influent Monitoring: At this point, we monitor key parameters such as turbidity, pH levels, total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), flow rates, pressures, chemical dosing rates, and equipment functionality to assess the influent water quality, treatment process, and effluent water quality, including specific contaminants of concern.
5. Monitoring: To ensure that sediment measures are effective, waterway and downstream monitoring is typically conducted by third party contracted engineers or consultants throughout the project to assess sediment levels in nearby waterways and to evaluate the performance of the erosion and sediment control practices.
6. Maintenance: Sediment and soil erosion methods require ongoing maintenance to ensure that they continue to function effectively. This involves regular inspections, repairs, or replacement of components as needed.

What is sediment control?
Sediment control refers to a set of measures that are designed to prevent or minimize the amount of sediment that is discharged from a construction site or other disturbed area into nearby waterways or other sensitive environments.
Why is sediment control important?
Sediment runoff can have negative impacts on water quality, aquatic habitats, and other environmental resources. By implementing sediment control measures, construction sites can reduce the amount of sediment that enters nearby waterways, protecting these resources and minimizing the risk of regulatory compliance issues.
What are some common sediment control measures?
Common sediment control measures include silt fences, sediment basins, erosion control blankets, and sediment traps. These measures work by preventing sediment-laden water from leaving the construction site or by capturing sediment before it enters nearby waterways.
How is the effectiveness of sediment control measures evaluated?
The effectiveness of sediment control measures is typically evaluated through monitoring and testing. This may involve measuring sediment levels in nearby waterways or conducting visual inspections of sediment control structures to ensure they are functioning properly.
Who is responsible for implementing sediment control measures?
Typically, the responsibility for implementing sediment control measures falls to the construction site owner or operator. However, regulatory agencies may also be involved in monitoring compliance and ensuring that sediment control measures are being implemented effectively.
Are there regulations governing sediment control?
Yes, there are regulations at the local, state, and federal level that govern sediment control on construction sites and other disturbed areas. These regulations typically require the implementation of sediment control measures and may impose penalties for non-compliance.
