> Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook
Construction
activities near streams, rivers, and lakes have the potential
to cause water pollution and stream degradation if erosion
and sediment controls are not properly installed and maintained.
In order to effectively reduce erosion and sedimentation
impacts, Best Management Practices (BMP's) must be designed,
installed, and maintained during land disturbing activities.
The
Tennessee Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook is designed
to provide information to planners, developers, engineers,
and contractors on the proper selection, installation,
and maintenance of BMP's. The handbook is intended for
use during the design and construction of projects that
require erosion and sediment controls to protect waters
of the state. It also aids in the development of Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP's) and other reports,
plans, or specifications required when participating in
Tennessee's water quality regulations.
