When developing you master plan and SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) we recommend keeping as much natural existing vegetation as possible, as this will reduce your overall cost (i.e.,by not having to purchase and implement as many E & SC's and less Landscaping), maintain natural soil binding properties and will also help the project blend in with the natural surroundings with little or no need for additional H2O.

Key to all this functioning properly and avoiding costly shutdowns, is the correct selection of Erosion and sediment controls, and periodic maintenance and inspections of the existing BMP's used.

Please remember; Silt fence in swales do not work when it rains! And, forget hay bales as they float away in less than 6" of water!! Nothing looks worse and gets the attention of inspectors faster than a pile of hay bales and washed-out silt fence....

There are better ways of preventing erosion & water pollution and we encourage you to discuss BMP options available with a member of our team. We want to help.
