Soil erosion is a natural part of stormwater runoff, which can disrupt local ecological systems. 

However, since construction sites tend to aggregate lots of toxic materials, many natural barriers may be less effective if significant erosion occurs at the worksite. Therefore, erosion control is necessary for preventing pollution via sediment disruption and failing to stop or slow down toxic materials that escape from worksites. …

Stormwater management is an active measure taken by the Clean Water Act to reduce water pollution generated by construction and industrial activity. 

Virtually any company that disturbs land over one acre in length and discharges stormwater runoff into public water systems must develop a stormwater management plan or SWPPP to acquire proper permitting to begin operations. …

Construction activities contain many toxic materials that can pollute local water systems via stormwater runoff if not properly controlled.

Stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) are designed to prevent this type of pollution and keep your worksite legally compliant under federal and state law.…
