Roadside Environmental Unit, Soil & Water Engineering Section http://www.ncdot.gov/doh/operations/dp_chief_eng/roadside/soil_water/
Since 1970, NCDOT has been addressing stormwater pollution through the Department’s sediment and erosion control program. Te main importance of sediment and erosion control is to protect our waterways. Te Soil and Water Engineering Section is responsible for designing sediment and erosion control plans for NCDOT’s land-disturbing activities as well as developing design standards and training materials for erosion and sediment con- trol. Tese plan designs are based on many factors including classifcations of surround- ing waters, critical habitat areas, environmentally sensitive areas, and any environmental concerns.
