Regardless of the state you plan to do major construction you must deal with state and local agencies prior to beginning your project. Erosion control Colorado is one of those agencies. The purpose of the agency is to ensure that erosion and sediment run off does not damage the ecosystems or enter the soil or water supplies.
When preparing a site for new construction it is natural to clear away all ground cover and vegetation prior to beginning. Before you can do that you must file concise plans with the involved state and local agencies that detail how you will prevent and control run off of sediment and soil. There are regular inspections made to enforce the plan and non-compliance will bring fines and work stoppage if not immediately corrected.
Erosion occurs from rain, wind and an excess of water on the surface of the soil. It can take the form of gully formation, silt build up, slope slippage and an exposure of non-productive soil to the elements. The best way to prevent these things from happening is to replant the area under construction as quickly as possible.
Straw blankets and wattles are used to protect the bare earth by many contractors prior to completion of their project. These blankets have a netting to keep the straw from blowing away and some are as wide as one hundred feet. They are used along highways that have no grass or ground cover to protect them. The straw covers eventually break down and become fertilization for the grasses that germinate in the spring.
Hydro processing is a method of covering and reseeding areas of exposed soil. The mulch that is used contains a gummy substance that adheres to the soil to prevent erosion from occurring. The mulch is comprised of paper, wood pulp and aspen hydro mulch. When the grass seeds are added to the mixture they also put fertilizer with it. The combination of these resources helps to guarantee fast and near total germination for the area.
The contractors will often put wild flower seeds from the surrounding area into the mixture being sprayed onto open areas. The flowers have deeper root systems and regenerate themselves every year. This serves to help assure that the prevention measures will not have to be repeated. Many contractors search out the grasses that are indigenous to the area and use them to bind the new ground covers with the old.
Drill seeding is another method that is gaining popularity because of the cost effectiveness of the process. Tractors are equipped with furrows to turn the soil and instruments to plant seeds directly into the ground. This method is more successful with germination because the seeds are underground and protected from the elements and animal foraging.
To reliably maintain the ecosystems that make Colorado so beautiful, it is important that contractors work closely with erosion control Colorado. Prevention of contaminated runoff is a small but very important part of keeping the state pristine. Free running water can carry pollution to every aspect of land and water supply. It is essential that it be contained and filtered before it reaches the public supplies.
