Guidelines for Sediment Control Practices in the Insular Caribbean - CEP Technical Report 32

The purpose of this document is to describe methods of anticipating, assessing and minimizing erosion and sediment impacts from site development. It is hoped that by outlining the processes of erosion and sedimentation, describing the principles behind erosion and sediment control, and providing examples of effective erosion and sediment control strategies, this handbook will support efforts to plan and implement construction activities in the insular Caribbean with a minimum of environmental damage.
