Silt fencing retains the soil on disturbed land, such as a construction site, until the activities disturbing the land are sufficiently completed to allow revegetation and permanent soil stabilization to begin. Keeping the soil on a construction site, rather than letting it be washed off into storm drains and natural water bodies prevents the degradation of aquatic habitats and siltation of harbor channels. And preventing soil from washing onto roads, which readily transport it to storm sewers, avoids having sewers clogged with sediment.

Fiber rolls, also known as straw wattles, are tube-shaped devices used to control erosion. They slow, filter, and disperse stormwater on slopes, reducing erosion and sediment in runoff. Fiber rolls can be used alongside other stormwater control measures like straw mulch, erosion control blankets, and hydraulic mulches for slope stabilization.

Storm drain inlet protection controls prevent soil and debris from entering storm drains, keeping them operational before permanent site stabilization. These temporary controls are the last treatment for stormwater before discharge. Internal controls use a filter insert inside the drain for larger sediment, while external controls create ponding around the inlet using a stone, gravel, or fabric filter barrier.

Temporary construction site fencing is a portable and often modular barrier system used to secure and delineate the boundaries of a construction site. Typically constructed from galvanized steel or sturdy plastic materials, these fences are designed for quick assembly and disassembly. They provide safety and security by preventing unauthorized access, protecting workers and the public from potential hazards, and safeguarding valuable equipment and materials.
