During the process of land disturbance, such as building a house, driveway or creating a garden, sediment travels via wind, rain, streets, and equipment into the storm sewers and ends up in the nearby surface water (your lake, pond, stream, wetland). Erosion control is required to keep the surround water as clean as possible during the project.
