Definition 1 of 62
- Are materials stored appropriately/ preferrably inside.
- Are the materials labeled?
- Are the materials disposed of properly? Is there a portable containment? (Example: concrete
washouts)
- Is there proper protection underneath materials and are they covered?
Inspecting Curb and Gutter Barriers "Bags"

Term 2 of 62
What is erosion?
The act of mixing soil with organic materials to improve fertility.
The method of planting vegetation to prevent soil loss.
The technique of building barriers to control water flow.
The process by which soil particle get displaced by the act of wind of water.
,Term 3 of 62
Types of Erosion Control BMPs
- placement of pavement
- installing landscaping materials
- establishing vegetation (native) / seeding
- contrustion of homes
- culverts/slope drains
- diversion channels
- ECB and TRMs
an E.C. method used to direct runoff to a specific location
Inspection:
- Will runoff remain within the diversion channel?
- Are the embankements stabilized?
- Is the discharge area stabilized?
- Fences w/ slats or openings
- Vegetative strips / Establishing Vegetation
- Soil roughening
- Liquid applications (water or chemical soil binders)
- silt fences
- vehicle tracking pads
- SCS (sediment containment systems) / Filter Bags
- inlet barriers in front of "sump" D.I. or rocks around an Area Drain
- fiber rolls
- compost berms / compost socks
- bale / straw bale barriers
- rock check structure / riprap
- filter bags
,Definition 4 of 62
Separates flows
-water that goes from low point to high. To extend the time of concentration
Slope drains
Rill and gully erosion
Basin divides
Establishing vegetation
Definition 5 of 62
- Are appropriate sized rocks used in bags?
- Is there overflow around the bag or underneath?
- Is the bag to full/compact - possible tearing?
- Is there proper spacing between the bag and the inlet?
Inspecting Curb and Gutter Barriers "Bags"
Inspecting Silt Fence Barriers?
Inspecting Compost Berms/ Compost Socks
Inspecting Area Drains / Rock Barriers
Definition 6 of 62
Rigid plastic structure where soil can be placed into for vegetative establishment.
Cellular confinements
On grade conditions
Flocculants
Establishing vegetation
, Definition 7 of 62
Save the removed topsoil for reapplication later when seeding!
Inspection:
- Was the hillside "catwalked" / tracked UP AND DOWN (not along the hillside)
- Was the soil scarified (grooves/raked) for seeding?
- Is fertilizer required? Organic vs Synthetic
Inspecting Bale Barriers
Slope Drains
Seeding
Gabions
Term 8 of 62
When do you need permit coverage?
Raindrop erosion
Sheet erosion
Rill and Gully erosion
Stream and Channel erosion
Shoreline erosion - by the act of waves
Landslides - difficult to prevent
-strips off all existing vegetation a.k.a site carving
-usually on hillsides and steep slopes
-installation of untilities that tear up large areas of land
Required from start to end of project. "End" being the final vegetative/non-vegetative
(concrete) stabilization occuring.
For any project one acre or greater.
Before construction activities begin and while construction is occuring.
