Sediment Management Systems to Prevent Soil Erosion
Late November and early December present strategic opportunities for contractors and service providers to offer discounts on sediment control solutions. This period, including Black Friday, is often associated with significant savings, making it an ideal time to consider investments in sediment management systems.
Sediment controls are essential components of erosion and sediment management, designed to prevent soil erosion and contain sediment on construction or disturbed sites. Properly implemented sediment controls help protect water quality, reduce regulatory compliance issues, and minimize site runoff impacts.
These barriers, such as silt fences and sediment logs, are installed around disturbed areas to trap sediment and prevent it from entering water bodies.
Designed to hold runoff and allow sediment to settle, sediment basins are effective for managing large volumes of water on construction sites.
Erosion control mats stabilize soil surfaces, reducing erosion and promoting vegetation growth.

| Sediment Control Method | Application Description |
|---|---|
| Silt Fences | Barrier installed along site boundaries to filter sediment from runoff. |
| Sediment Basins | Containment areas designed to settle out sediment from large volumes of water. |
| Erosion Control Blankets | Materials placed on slopes to prevent soil erosion and promote vegetation. |
| Check Dams | Small barriers across drainage channels to slow water flow and trap sediment. |
| Sediment Traps | Preliminary containment measures to intercept sediment before it reaches water bodies. |
| Vegetative Stabilization | Use of plants and grasses to stabilize disturbed soil areas. |
| Mulching | Applying mulch to protect soil surface and reduce erosion. |
| Rock Riprap | Layered rocks placed along slopes or channels to prevent erosion. |
As the holiday shopping season approaches, it is advisable to inquire about Black Friday and holiday discounts from contractors and service providers. Many companies offer special pricing during this time, providing opportunities for cost savings on sediment control solutions.
