Common best management practices to control construction stormwater pollution

What should you see when you drive by a construction site? Sediment fences, bio filter bags around the storm drain, facilities for washing off vehicles before they drive off site?

For a list of common controls and how they should be applied, visit EPA’s website on best management practices for construction sites: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps/con_site.cfm.
