The Raindrop Connection: Connecting the Dots of Erosion, Sediment, and Pollutant Control at Construction Sites - Hardcover
Details
by John M. Teravskis (Author)
Connect the dots between soil science and construction practices to prevent storm water pollution.
Discover best practices for keeping communities safe after storms and natural disasters from an expert storm water professional. In The Raindrop Connection, author John M. Teravskis considers erosion and the science of sediment as it relates to implementing safe and sustainable construction practices. For Teravskis, the key to compliance is making connections between theory and practice while balancing the consequences of one's actions with water supplies in need of protection. From start to finish, Teravskis assesses each step of a construction project, connecting the dots from
- erosion and sediment theory
- pollutant source assessment
- best management practices
- Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan development
- effective monitoring programs
- final site stabilization
to healthy water quality and retention.
While the book is filled with technical content, the tone is intentionally conversational, sprinkled with subtle humor, personal anecdotes and real-life, practical illustrations that will appeal to non-technical as well as technical readers. Informative and innovative, the book also acts as a guide for construction workers, engineers, environmental consultants, or municipal staff members on how to comply with the Clean Water Act and any applicable state laws.
