Erosion
Who plays a role in maintaining ESC measures on-site?
What is every construction worker?
The process where eroded materials settle and accumulate in a new location.
What is Sedimentation?
Which type of prevention/control are straw bale barriers?
What is Sediment Control?
Should we minimize or maximize the disturbed area and protect natural features and soil?
What is minimize?
True or False: Ignoring and minimizing controls is a key principle of sediment control.
What is False?
A key principle of sediment control is Inspecting and maintaining controls.
The process where soil, rock, and other earth materials are worn away and displaced and transported away from their original locations by forces such as water, wind, ice, gravity, human activities.
