The most effective way to apply ESC is to use a multi-barrier approach, which involves the installation of both erosion controls and sediment controls in series, to create a resilient system capable of protecting the natural environment from sediment impacts. In a multi-barrier system there is redundancy so that if one control fails, there are still others in place to safeguard downstream features. Selecting the appropriate BMPs for each project stage requires an understanding of BMP function, intended use, expected performance, and maintenance required.

The tables below provide an overview of common ESC BMPs. Click on the BMP name in the first column to read the detailed design requirements and installation, inspection, maintenance, and decommissioning guidance from https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2020/01/ESC-Guide-for-Urban-Construction_FINAL.pdf. A description and common applications of each practice are listed in the second and third columns, respectively. The fourth column provides links to design drawings and other resources.
