The Erosion and Sediment Control Construction Best Management Practices Manual was developed to assist in the design, construction, and post construction phases of Montana Department of Transportation projects. This manual provides background to State and Federal regulations associated with erosion and sediment control practices including a general overview of the erosion and sediment processes. Best management practices (BMPs) are listed within the manual based on application categories. Each BMP is described; its applications and limitations are listed, as well as its design criteria. The design phase includes development of construction plans, notice of intent (NOI), and Stormwater Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Construction phase includes the finalization of the SWPPP, NOI, and the implementation of BMPs. Post construction phase includes monitoring, maintenance, and removal activities.
