Success & Failure Photos
These are a few images taken by Jim Dexter, the NE Minnesota Stormwater Lead Engineer at the MPCA-Duluth from his 2005
presentation (with Todd Campbell, MNDOT-Duluth):
Controlling Erosion and Sediment at Construction Sites in the Northland
(5.7 MB pdf).
[MPCA Observations]
- The root cause of nearly all ESC (erosion & sediment control) problem sites is a poor (or non-existent) erosion control effort.
- A great SWPPP (Stormwater Program Protection Plan) is worthless if not followed in the field
- Communication breakdowns often occur during the construction phase.
- Owner/Consultant should identify exactly what ESC work is required
- Make all ESC work pay items
