Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Land Disturbing Activities

Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Land Disturbing Activities

The Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Land Disturbing Activities Guideline provide guidance and clarification of the acceptable measures, standards, and design processes to be adopted for erosion and sediment control in achieving the necessary environmental objectives. 

Environment Bay of Plenty wants to ensure that people who disturb land understand concerns, plan their developments appropriately and then manage their sites using best practice erosion and sediment control methods to protect the environment. This guideline describes the requirements and outcomes to be achieved when land is disturbed to comply with overall environmental objectives.
