Abstract/Contents: | "Soil erosion from land clearing and development as well as stream channel erosion contributes an estimated 600 million tons of sediment to streams annual. The visual and ecological results of this pollution, along with the social and economic costs, have resulted in the enactment of many stringent regulations governing land-disturbing activities. Erosion and sedimentation control is being strengthened within federal, state, and local environmental programs. Through a variety of statutory requirements, persons engaged in land clearing must, with few exceptions, secure a development permit and/or prepare and have approved an erosion and sediment control plan before work begins. There appears to be a growing interest in halting environmetnally unsound land-disturbing activities, particularly those that pollute streams. A range of exemplary federal, state, and local statutory models and implementation manuals now exist for those seeking new approached to erosion and sedimentation control affecting urban land development." |
