Exposed soils associated with active construction sites provide opportunities for erosion and
sediment transport during storm events, introducing risks associated with excess sediment to …

Erosion and sediment controls on construction sites minimize environmental impacts from
sediment-laden stormwater runoff. Silt fence, a widely specified perimeter control practice on …

Small unoccupied aerial systems (sUAS) are increasingly used for field data collection and
remote sensing purposes. Their ease of use, ability to carry sensors, low cost, precise …

Perimeter controls [ie, sediment barriers (SBs) or sediment retention devices] are typically
used on construction sites to retain sediment and prevent polluted stormwater runoff from …

To address the deleterious impacts of excess soil erosion from the construction sites, the
United States Clean Water Act requires that erosion and sediment control measures (ESCs) …

Stormwater regulations require construction-generated pollution to be controlled on-site
prior to discharge to avoid impairment of receiving waterbodies. Sediment basins are …

Inlet protection practices (IPPs) are temporary erosion and sediment controls commonly
used in active construction sites to help reduce off-site transport of sediment. The overall in …

Construction-related activities typically disturb established vegetation, resulting in the
potential for accelerated erosion. Because of the associated water quality impacts of …

Sediment remains one of the most commonly occurring pollutants affecting the US's water
bodies, as identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)(1) …

Erosion and sediment controls (ESCs) are essential components of construction projects in
minimizing downstream environmental impact. Since 2014, the Auburn University—Erosion …
