Erosion and Sediment Control
BMP Categories
-
runoff/run-on collection
-
soil stabilization
-
slope stabilization
-
seeding and revegetation
-
overburden handling
-
range management
-
sediment runoff
We have established practical BMP implementation standards and performance effectiveness criteria for each of these categories, including methods for conducting on-site erosion inventories, BMP field inspection, and BMP performance evaluation and effectiveness ranking to numerically assess the level of effectiveness attained at the mine, and to track BMP effectiveness trends. This information has proven to be extremely useful in developing and adjusting BMP application and use in subsequent mining and reclamation activities.
