    The purpose of this Standard is to provide requirements and recommendations for the installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures on construction sites. This Standard outlines installation and maintenance requirements associated with a number of commonly used ESC measures. In addition, this Standard provides general best practice guidance for installing and maintaining ESC measures in conjunction with construction activity, including standardized guidance with respect to adhering to product manufacturer instructions.
