The hybrid qualitative ERA approach is recommended in the above situations, except where local regulatory agencies require a different approach. The hybrid qualitative ERA approach estimates erosion risk by dividing a site into areas based on soil, slope, and ground cover, then rating each area as low, moderate, or high [[Erosion#Erosion_potential|erosion risk]] to help choose the right erosion control practices for each stage of construction. Completing an ERA demonstrates due diligence, identifies high-risk areas early, informs effective BMP selection and placement, guides the use of enhanced controls, and provides context for decision-making.
