Land Developers
- Identify and conserve environmentally sensitive areas on your site and design your site around these areas.
- Use low impact site design principles. For "Better Site Design" development tools and tips visit the Center for Watershed Protection and the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual.
- Implement and maintain aggressive erosion control measures to prevent sediment runoff.
- Locate your site away from any down sloping street or driveway, and any stream, lake, or drainage way.
- Maintain construction entrances, and clean up sediments daily by sweeping or scraping up soils tracked onto roadways.
- Prevent root damage of trees and shrubbery by placing barriers around plant life and limiting construction within those barriers.
- Re-vegetate through seeding and mulching, as vegetation is most effective in erosion control.
- Report a discharge to the proper authorities.
