When we begin a project, the ground is disturbed and no longer protected from the factors that cause erosion.
Every single rain drop acts as a tiny bomb when they fall on exposed soil, and their impact is represents the first stage in the erosion process.
As a result:
* This lose dirt and sediment then washes into low areas on the site, streams, and rivers.
* Waterways can become polluted and clogged, increasing flooding.
* The land can become less arable.
Stay tuned for our next post on what we do to control and manage Erosion & Sediment on construction sites!
