The most effective application of ESC utilizes a multi-barrier approach, in which erosion controls and sediment controls are installed in sequence to form a resilient system that protects the natural environment from sediment-related impacts. A multi-barrier system incorporates built-in redundancy, ensuring that if one control fails, additional measures remain in place to safeguard downstream features. Selecting appropriate BMPs for each project stage requires an understanding of their function, intended use, expected performance, and maintenance needs. ''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].''

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.
