Soil erosion and resulting sedimentation can cause widespread damage to waterways and impact drinking-water quality, endanger wildlife resources, and hinder the flood-control capacity of lakes and reservoirs. For the most challenging projects and construction programs, Geosyntec has extensive experience developing effective stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs), erosion and sediment (E&S) control and revegetation plans, hydrologic and hydraulic models, and designs for stormwater best management practices (BMPs).
