ESC practices are essential for minimizing the impacts of erosion during construction. While these measures help reduce sediment-laden runoff and airborne dust, it's important to recognize that they do not eliminate all suspended sediment. To maximize effectiveness, ESC plans should be properly designed, implemented, and maintained throughout the construction process. Visit the [[Erosion and Sediment Control|ESC wiki]] to learn more about best practices for controlling erosion and protecting downstream environments.
