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. Note: Isolation measures are not covered on this page but are detailed in the [http://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2020/01/ESC-Guide-for-Urban-Construction_FINAL.pdf 2019 Erosion and Sediment Control Guide for Urban Construction].
