Paper Summary

Urban areas can suffer from soil erosion due to land clearance during development. In 1968, Baltimore County implemented a sediment control program requiring builders to have a permit with an erosion control plan before land stripping. Six key control measures were recommended. The program has shown benefits in reducing soil erosion in urban developments.
