This month I was on site at Arbors at Grandin Road for my routine monthly inspection. I noticed how consistently they are on top of their sediment and erosion controls. Stabilizing areas early on is the number one Best Management Practice to prevent erosion in the first place by preventing sediment from washing downstream. The sediment basin was also stabilized early on, as soon as it was at final grade. This helps prevent rill erosion on the banks, for rill! This is super important because once erosion occurs and sediment washes into the basin, it is very difficult to remove the fine-grained sediment from the water column. The skimmer device cannot filter all of it out. So, stopping erosion before it happens is the way to go.
From the design and SWPPP review phase, to grading, implementation of sediment & erosion controls and now into the home building phase, Arbors at Grandin Road has done their part for sediment and erosion control. It’s been great to work with everyone involved with this project and see it come together. Future phases will be underway soon and I look forward to seeing it all come together while making sure sediment is contained on site as much as possible. So, this month we are giving a shout-out to the Arbors at Grandin Road Project for a job well done. From the engineers to the developers and builders, it takes everyone to stay compliant with sediment and erosion controls. Arbor Homes agrees, stating that it is important to protect the water as well as to maintain a tidy construction site while selling homes to potential buyers. So good work and thanks to everyone involved with this project! -Justin Bedocs, Urban Specialist
