Erosion + Sediment Control / Stream Encroachment

We help soil stay in place.

Before you move earth for your building project, we can help you know which permits you might need, identify the best ways to keep soil on your site, ensure that streams are not affected, and stay compliant with current regulations during construction.

Sediment is the number one nonpoint-source water pollutant in Westmoreland County, and in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Soil washing off of active construction sites, farms, logging roads, and other exposed areas often ends up in streams, ponds, lakes, and rivers, where it can cause a variety of problems — from smothering aquatic life to increasing the chance of flooding.
