Construction & Demolition

2. Erosion and Dust Control

Resources

  • According to UW-Extension, construction sites have the highest rates of sediment delivery to water bodies of any land use in Wisconsin. From an average construction site, 30 tons of sediment per acre can wash off into nearby waterways.
  • Wisconsin Construction Site Best Management Practices Handbook:
    Wisconsin Department of Administration, 608-266-3358

Appropriate control measures protect air and water quality.

  1. Follow Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 216 and City of Milwaukee Chapter 290. (LEED™)
  2. Decrease work during high winds and spray loose soils with water.
