Consider the times that you may have seen new commercial and residential construction in your local area. Recall in more recent years the use of a staked-down plastic tarp and some type of square grass bales (wheat straw, coastal grass, etc.) running parallel to the plastic tarp. You may have also noticed a posted stormwater pollution prevention plan or SWP3 notification beside the plastic tarp. How effective did you perceive that method of physical barrier was in keeping soil and sediment from running off the site during storm events? Why is this? What specific suggestions for improvement would you have for the environmental engineering company that elected to use and manage that technology for their required SWP3 program?
