EDG assists in creating preventive management practices to reduce soil loss and control stormwater flow before it reaches a channel of retention ponds, filtering systems or wetlands. It is important that stormwater is given an opportunity to infiltrate so that the soil and vegetation can act as a "filter" before the water reaches nearby streams or lakes. In the case of soil erosion prevention, a few common practices include the use of silt fences, landscape fabric with grass seed and hydro seeding. The main objective in all cases is to slow water movement to prevent soil transport.
