Sediment & Erosion Control on
Construction Sites Field Guide
This 300-page Handbook presents up-to-date
information on design practices for low-impact
developments, specifications for erosion,
sediment and stormwater best management
practices (BMPs), and describes predictive
models that can be used to estimate erosion
and runoff. This version of the Handbook
supercedes the 1995 and 1976 issues and is
already in use at the Department of Planning
and Natural Resources. It is the result of a
long-term, cooperative effort that has brought
together current, state-of-the-art practices in
pollution prevention planning and design concepts. The Handbook is a
useful tool that can help you plan, design or review development
projects and earth change activities. Handbook Price: $15.00
