Erosion prevention practices

Erosion prevention practices are designed to prevent or minimize erosion. Below are photo galleries for several erosion prevention practices.

• Mulch stabilization

Sediment control practices

• Perimeter control
• Vehicle tracking BMPs
• Outlet energy dissipation
• Check dams (ditch checks, ditch dikes)
• Storm drain inlet protection
• Buffer zones
• Dewatering (chemical treatment, sediment filtration)
• Berms (soil, woodchips)
• Sediment basins and traps
