3. Place mulch, gravel, or rocks over disturbed areas to protect them from erosion.
4. Add permeable surfaces to walkways and parking lots so that runoff can be absorbed into the ground instead of being carried away by water.
5. Limit the amount of exposed soil by covering it with tarps or mats.
6. Construct barriers around the perimeter of construction sites to help break up runoff and limit soil erosion.
