Stormwater Construction

Prevent Construction Site Pollution

• Minimize soil disturbance.
• Have erosion & sediment control measures in place before excavation begins.
• Use appropriate erosion & sediment control measures to slow water speed & trap sediment.
• Have & maintain a single stabilized access point to prevent tracking of sediment onto the road.
• Surround soil stockpiles with a sediment fence.
• Regularly inspect stormwater drains around the site to ensure they are free of pollution like litter, soil, building materials, etc.
• Check & maintain erosion and sediment control measures daily before leaving the site & before rain.
• Sweep & shovel all soil, earth, mud, clay & concrete waste from the roads & driveways, etc. daily and before rain.
