Smart Solutions to Protect Your Site and Meet Compliance
Erosion control is more than just a regulatory requirement—it’s a critical component of responsible site development. At Civil 1, we help clients safeguard their projects, neighboring properties, and the environment with professionally designed erosion control solutions. Whether your site is in early excavation or preparing for final grading, our team ensures you stay compliant, avoid costly delays, and protect your investment from water and soil movement issues.
What Is Erosion Control?
Erosion control involves managing stormwater runoff and stabilizing soil to prevent sediment from leaving a construction site and entering nearby waterways. It includes the use of physical barriers, grading strategies, vegetation, and drainage systems to control water flow and reduce soil displacement. Effective erosion control not only protects your site—it also ensures compliance with local, state, and federal regulations such as the Clean Water Act and NPDES permit requirements.
Why Erosion Control Matters for Your Project
Failure to implement proper erosion control can lead to serious setbacks—fines, stop-work orders, and environmental damage. At Civil 1, we go beyond the basics. Our erosion and sediment control plans are engineered to address each site’s unique topography, hydrology, and construction timeline. Whether you’re managing a small commercial build or a multi-acre development, we design systems that work in real conditions and earn fast regulatory approval. Our reputation for detail and foresight keeps projects on track across Woodbury and throughout the Northeast.
Our Erosion Control Process
Our erosion control process starts with a detailed site evaluation that considers slope, soil type, water flow, and staging. From there, we design a custom erosion and sedimentation control (ESC) plan using proven techniques like silt fencing, sediment traps, stabilized construction entrances, diversion swales, and temporary seeding. We also provide construction-phase oversight and documentation to ensure every measure is installed correctly and functioning throughout the project’s lifecycle. Coordination with local regulatory agencies is built into every phase to keep your project compliant and moving forward.
Take Control Before the Water Does
Don’t let erosion control become an afterthought—or a compliance issue. With Civil 1, you get proven solutions backed by local expertise and strong relationships with regulatory officials. Our team helps you stay ahead of runoff risks, sediment violations, and costly delays. Contact us today to put a smart erosion control plan in place for your project. We tailor each plan to the site’s specific conditions, ensuring both effectiveness in the field and approval on paper. From small lots to large-scale developments, we’re ready to protect your project from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of erosion control methods do you use?
We use a range of best practices based on site conditions, including silt fencing, sediment traps, stabilized entrances, diversion channels, temporary seeding, erosion control blankets, and more—each tailored to the site’s needs and permitting requirements.
Do you provide erosion control plans for permit applications?
Yes. Civil 1 prepares complete, engineer-stamped erosion and sedimentation control (ESC) plans that meet local, state, and federal permitting standards. Our experience helps streamline the approval process and minimize revisions.
When should erosion control measures be installed?
Erosion control measures should be installed before site disturbance begins. Early installation protects the site from initial runoff events and satisfies pre-construction permitting conditions.
Can you inspect or monitor erosion control measures during construction?
Absolutely. We offer construction-phase oversight, inspections, and documentation to ensure all erosion control measures remain functional and compliant throughout the life of the project.
