Why should homeowners care about erosion and sediment control?

Erosion and sediment control isn’t just the builder’s responsibility—homeowners have a role too!

Here’s why it matters:

• Protect your local environment – Poor controls send sediment into waterways, harming wildlife and water quality
• Avoid fines and legal issues – If pollution occurs, you may be held responsible
• Prevent damage to your home – Erosion can weaken foundations and create drainage issues
• Enhance property resilience – Good erosion control helps safeguard against extreme weather.
