Approximately 80% of sediment runoff occurs during the construction phase.
Erosion and sediment runoff impacts our waterways and reduces water quality. This in turn affects fishing and oyster farming, recreational activities and public health.
Anyone involved in building and construction is responsible for managing erosion and sediment runoff. From small-scale renovators and owner-builders to large-scale developers. This also includes anyone who works in related industry trades.
Before undertaking any construction, find out what you need to do.
