Site Shout-OUt to MI Homes and Siteworx at nouveau

​This spring, construction sites have had a great deal of rain to contend with, creating challenges with sediment and erosion control. That’s why it’s important to have the proper controls in place before the rain comes. As part of our routine inspection for sediment and erosion control this month, we visited M/I Homes’ newest community in the City of Mason, “Nouveau”. ​At our walkthrough, we were joined by Sam Schulte with M/I Homes to learn more about sediment and erosion control practices, and our local EPA contact, Daniel Hoit, who provided insight and guidance on the inspection process. I was impressed with how M/I Homes and Siteworx had effective site controls for controlling sediment on site. This joint walkthrough was a good example of how people from different agencies and the development community can work together to achieve compliance. We are all in this together.

Anticipated to open for sales in the summer of 2026, Nouveau will include a blend of neo-traditional single-family homes, modern farmhouse townhomes and paired villas. Residents of Nouveau will enjoy maintenance-free living as well as a resort-style swimming pool and cabana building, splash pad, kids’ climber, seating shelters, and miles of sidewalk and walking paths.

​

Thank you to M/I Homes for doing a great job on their site controls at Nouveau and for understanding that even though production and conservation are two opposite sides of the same coin, that both can be achieved. We can protect our rivers from sediment pollution while also developing in an environmentally conscious way. Keep up the good work!
