The sixth edition of the “Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia” has been revised with a focus on performance standards. Implementation of newly researched practices has been incorporated to expand on the traditional erosion and sediment control practices which are included in the sixth edition.
These new practices have been proven to aid in controlling erosion and subsequent sedimentation in a cost-effective manner.
It is important that this publication is used as a guideline and that “creativity” must be utilized when necessary to fully protect a site from erosion and subsequent sedimentation. What is required on erosion and sediment control plans has been modifi ed and includes the current plan review checklists with guidance documents.
It is hoped that users of this Manual will realize the significant changes and recognize that technology changes rapidly in the erosion and sediment control arena. The Commission is dedicated to providing the State of Georgia with the latest “proven” erosion and sediment control practices.
