Goals Erosion
prevention and sediment control on construction sites are becoming major
components in our local governments’
water quality improvement plans.
Consequently, an enormous amount of public and private resources are
being devoted to this issue. The
new awards program provides the opportunity to recognize local and regional
companies and individuals for their contributions in preventing environmental
damage to our waterways. As
the development community becomes more aware of erosion prevention solutions,
local jurisdictions hope to reduce the level of enforcement necessary to meet
water quality standards. |
Nomination Requirements Each nominated site must
meet the following: · Nominations will be accepted from the
participating agencies for construction work projects performed inside their
service areas. · Self nomination for permitted projects will
also be accepted for consideration of an award. · Project phase must be completed in the 12
months prior to April 30th. · Nominated project or site cannot have any
enforcement actions beyond required routine inspections · Nominated site is voluntarily maintained on
a regular basis. · Must achieve a level of erosion prevention
and sediment control that meets or exceeds the local agency’s minimum
requirements and protects the environment |
Awards Program Representatives from
local jurisdictions In the area around Portland, Oregon have developed a
regional awards program to recognize businesses and individuals for
outstanding erosion prevention and sediment control achievements in
Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties. |
