Erosion and Sediment Guide (13546 KB)
This guide aims to provide information on how to minimise adverse environmental effects on waterways of surface erosion and the resulting discharge of sediment from earthworks by: promoting understanding of the principles of erosion and sediment control as they specifically apply to Canterbury’s landforms, soils and climate; providing users with a set of erosion and sediment control practices and procedures; and guiding users on how to use these practices and procedures during project design, construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning. This guide is not a statutory document. It is a living document that is reviewed and updated as new knowledge and technology become available.
