Civil Engineering: Erosion, Sediment and Pollution Control in Georgia

Land disturbing activities such as clearing, dredging, grading, excavating, transporting, and filling often results in soil erosion if not properly controlled by the use of Best Management Practices (BMP's). 

The State of Georgia has produced an excellent erosion and sedimentation control manual to prevent sediment from leaving a construction site. 

OUr civil engineers can help with erosion control before it becomes a real headache.

These types of activities can result in costly damage to property and the habitats of fish and other wildlife by contaminating state waters.

Georgia Erosion and Sediment Control Manual

Many local jurisdictions in Georgia have adopted the Georgia Erosion and Sediment Control Manual (The Green Book). The Green Book provides regulations for the control of erosion and siltation runoff and methods to prevent siltation from reaching streams and creeks. 

A successful erosion control plan takes into account buffers, state waters and other downstream properties that might be affected by the development of your property. It is critical that the plan is designed to implement BMP's specifically for your site. Failure to do so could result in loss of life, property damage, fines and other legal actions.
