Erosion Control
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) sets standards and rules
for ensuring that the natural environment is protected, while suggesting technologies
and processes that are useful in implementing these pollution and erosion control
goals of preventing hazardous liquids and sediment from contaminating natural ecosystems,
streets and sewers. EPA guidelines that govern Commercial Erosion Control and Storm
Water Management demand that builders develop a plan to control contaminant flow.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has required builders to
articulate, implement and maintain Best Management Practices (BMPs) before earth-moving
activities commence in order to prevent the pollution of municipal storm water systems
and streams. The Colorado Water Quality Control Division permit process establishes
the guidelines that businesses must follow when constructing temporary barriers,
tracking vehicles and cleaning construction sites upon completion of the job.
The EPA has discussed four key ecological factors affecting construction site soil
erosion: soil, vegetation, topography and climate. We, at Omerta, will analyze your
work site, determining BMPs that are best for your work site. Government regulations
demand regular maintenance, repair and replacement of erosion control barriers in
order to limit land disturbance by controlling the perimeter of the construction
site in order to preserve natural vegetation. We will work with your business helping
you fill out the paperwork that document your environmental regulation compliance.
We can use filter fences, stabilized entrances and vehicle undercarriage cleaning
to control the erosion of the work site by permitting the flow through of liquids,
while retaining soil, sediment and debris in collection basins to prevent contamination
of external ecosystems. Read More
