IMG_5924This site is designed to provide specific information about how impacts to watersheds can be minimized at each phase of a residential construction project.

There is currently a lack of information available to contractors and homeowners regarding the steps that they can take to minimize the impact that residential contraction can have on watersheds.  This website compiles the available data and provides easy to follow strategies for each phase of a construction project in order to mitigate watershed damage.

 

For the purpose of this website, project phases have been defined as:

  • Mobilization, Demolition & Site Clearing
  • Excavation
  • Foundation, Backfill & Concrete work
  • Framing & Services
  • Interior Works
  • Landscaping

Each phase has been assigned a page explaining the general process involved, as well as a page outlining potential impacts and more importantly, potential mitigation strategies.
