Reducing or preventing sediment from leaving a large construction project takes expertise, planning, proper erosion control installation, maintenance and management.

Participants will see on-site structural erosion control demonstrations from 10-11 a.m. at an Urban Renewal construction site, according to a news release.

State and local officials are worried that if erosion control measures aren't put in place for at-risk areas, some properties in the Carr Fire burn area could suffer erosion damage.

If you use erosion-control blankets made of biodegrable material, they will eventually disappear leaving the plants to control the problem.
