Erosion and Sediment Control
The urban team address private property issues such as sediment pollution and erosion control, drainage problems, and pond/basin management.
Butler SWCD played a strong role in creating the Butler County erosion and sediment control (ESC) standards keeping up-to-date with federal and state requirements for the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit and protect our natural resources during all phases of development. This permit side of this program is housed within the Butler County Storm Water District.
In addition to this, the staff work on many additional projects such as:
- The Beckett Ridge Water Quality Basin which a concrete channeled detention basin was restored to a storm water wetland.
- Stream bank restoration in West Chester Township
