What does Project Assessment primarily entail?

Project Assessment primarily involves measuring site areas and determining drainage characteristics. This process is crucial for understanding how water will flow across a site, which impacts erosion and sediment control measures that need to be implemented. By accurately assessing the site, inspectors can identify potential problem areas where water may accumulate or flow too quickly, leading to erosion and sedimentation issues.

Additionally, this assessment helps inform the design and proper placement of control measures, such as sediment basins and erosion control blankets, tailored to the specific site topography and hydrology. Collecting this data early in the project ensures that effective stormwater management practices can be put in place to protect the surrounding environment and comply with regulatory requirements.
