Snow in NoVA/DC?MD

It serves both purposes actually. When I was out in the field, the VA and Federal DEQ were just as strict about erosion / sediment control guidelines as OSHA was about jobsite safety.

hello?

sediment control is more about pollution and not particulate buildup from what i understand.

"Soil type. Clay soils are more likely to cause environmental harm, while sandy soils are more likely to cause traffic hazards and drainage problems. Exposed subsoils generally cause more problems than exposed topsoils."

it seems sand is a little bit less of a serious issue than something like topsoil or cement. still an issue, but i doubt we're gonna be overun by a river turning into a delta due to sand in the winter.

edit: erosion control can be taken two ways though IMO, both to prevent foundations washing away and also river pollution to an extent.
