New guidelines revolutionize erosion control for environmental protection in Texas.
The Texas Department of Transportation aims to improve environmental benefits by enhancing stormwater management. They faced challenges in selecting erosion control measures due to a lack of industry standards. To address this, guidelines were developed to help designers choose the right erosion and sediment control methods. The guidelines include a computer program for reporting and selecting measures, as well as a glossary for reference. These tools will assist in meeting stormwater pollution prevention requirements effectively.
