Soil erosion from water is a natural process that can be dealt with if you are using the correct erosion control methods. This presentation will cover several different methods of temporary and permanent erosion control, including how to select the correct solution for different situations. In the presentation, attendees will look at the differences between sediment control and erosion control and the most common pollutants that are targeted. There will be several project sites and case studies to review.
