Construction stormwater practices have a vital role in protecting downstream water bodies
from runoff that is typically characterized with large amounts of sediment and suspended …

Erosion and sediment control practices are implemented during construction activities to
mitigate downstream effects, but limited field-performance data exists. Field assessments …

Land disturbing construction activities can become nonpoint sources of pollution, particularly
due to suspended sediment, if erosion and sediment control measures are ineffective …

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) …

Sediment barriers (SBs) are stormwater management devices often installed along the
perimeter of a construction site to intercept and treat overland sediment-laden flow before …
