Water Components & Building Supply

Soil Erosion is a a problem which has always been associated with the Agricultural and Construction Industries. Erosion reduces the productivity and usability of our land areas., and the sediment resulting from this erosion finds its way in streams, rivers, and other bodies of water, choking them and ruining wildlife habitat.

Thanks to raised environmental conscientiousness, and the rising costs of repairing the damage erosion creates, erosion and sediment control have become important considerations for all potentially affected projects. Construction sites with steep slopes that are bare along with surface drainage areas are especially subject to erosion.

As a result, the EPA has included erosion and sediment control as an important part of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES). The NPDES is a provision within the 1990 Clean Water Act that requires Best Management Practices for planning control of erosion.
