The Importance of Winter Site Shutdown for Erosion Control

As winter approaches, it's crucial for construction, land development and Oil and Gas sites to take proactive steps to minimize environmental impacts. A well-planned site shutdown can significantly reduce erosion and runoff into our rivers, Lakes and streams, protecting our ecosystems and water quality and Promoting vegetation growth in the spring.

Winter shutdowns offer an opportunity to implement effective erosion control measures, including:

Eco Anchor -This innovative product stabilizes soil and reduces erosion while promoting vegetation growth. It ensures that the site remains secure against harsh winter weather.

Hydromulch - A vital tool for seeding and protecting bare soil, hydromulch helps retain moisture and encourages quick plant establishment, mitigating erosion risks during the colder months.

Silt Fence - This simple yet effective barrier traps sediment on-site, preventing it from washing away into waterways. Proper installation of silt fences is essential before site shutdown.

Curlex Sediment Logs -These biodegradable logs are designed to filter runoff and reduce sediment transport. Their strategic placement can greatly enhance the sediment control plan for a site.

By prioritizing these erosion control measures during winter months, we not only comply with regulations but also contribute to the health of our rivers, Lakes, streams and outdoor life styles that we enjoy. Let’s commit to protecting our environment while advancing our projects and saving money on rework.
