"Draws from and is influenced by principles of environmentalism, including ecology, conservation, stewardship, responsibility and sustainability. Areas of concern in environmental law include air quality, water quality, global climate change, agriculture, biodiversity, species protection, pesticides and hazardous chemicals, waste management, remediation of contaminated land and brownfield sites, smart growth, sustainable development, impact review, and conservation, stewardship and management of public lands and natural resources." ²

 Focuses on supporting sustainable environments that remove pollution or contaminants from enrosional media such as soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water : methods that control accelerated erosion and resulting sedimentation.

 Preventive erosion tactics are important in preventing water pollution and soil loss. Erosion control may arise in natural areas, agricultural settings or urban environments, the latter of which is often characterized as stormwater runoff.

 Landslides / mudslides resources increase the factor of safety against failure on an existing slope or mitigates shallow slope failures. The method is most applicable in the weathered colluvial surface of a rock slope that tends to fail during the rainy season, or in areas with expansive soils where the zone of water causes the upper seasonal soils to become weak due to seasonal drying and wetting.

 These practices can also be utilized directly on slow moving slides and to resist soil creep.

 Your forum presents stategies that explore the use of vegetation to stabilize slopes & curb erosion.

 There are a variety of erosion control methods available. What method you choose is determined on what your specific problem is and your budget.

 Consult local regulations---many communities now have strict methods for erosion control for certain land practices.

 As EPA regulations become more stringent, your handbook of erosion materials & stormwater controls provides a complete line of products for enhanced bioremediation that filter sediment thus preventing ’aggradation’ (raising of the river bed due to sediment deposition).
 Erosion control structures offer technical assistance to property owners, communities, local governments, businesses, soil scientists, groundwater hydrologists and others who produce detailed plans to establish high benchmarks in sustainability including green technologies for reducing slope erosion.

 Your answers to Dust Control, Stockpile Capping, Hydroseeding and much more, provides technical assistance to property owners, communities, local governments, businesses, the construction industry using :

• containment spill berms product (s) that keep soil on the job and out of the streambed (s)
• solutions that reduce maintenance costs and improve the performance of paved and unpaved surfaces.
• ECBs (erosion control blakets) – ideal erosion control products for the short-term challenge of establishing vegetation in low to moderate erosion applications

Whether your concern is allowing runoff & sediment to despoil water, wastewater treatment, conservation of the land or erosion control protection, your forum of informational solutions strives to be your best knowledge base available.
