Erosion Control & Stormwater Management

Protecting Your Site and Vermont’s Waterways

In Vermont, managing water is just as important as moving earth. Munson Earth Moving helps developers and municipalities meet strict Act 250 and environmental regulations through advanced stormwater management systems. We have a long history of conservation work, dating back to government soil conservation projects in the 1950s.

Stormwater Solutions

Retention & Detention Ponds

We excavate and shape large-scale retention ponds that manage site runoff during heavy storms. Our work ensures these systems function correctly to prevent downstream flooding and filter out sediment.

Riverbank Stabilization & Rip-Rap

Vermont’s rivers are powerful. We install heavy armor stone (rip-rap) and engineered embankments to protect properties, bridges, and roads from erosion and washout during flood events.

Act 250 Compliance Measures

We keep your job site compliant. Our crews are experienced in installing silt fences, check dams, and construction entrances that prevent mud from tracking onto public roads—keeping the state inspectors happy and your project open.

Act 250 & Environmental Compliance

What erosion control methods do you use?

We employ a “prevention first” strategy. This includes installing reinforced silt fences, stone check dams in drainage swales, and construction entrances (tracking pads) to keep mud off public roads. We also use hydro-seeding and hay mulch to stabilize exposed soil quickly.

Do you build bio-retention or rain gardens?

Yes. Modern stormwater regulations often require “green infrastructure” like bio-retention cells. We have the experience to excavate these intricate systems and install the specific filtration media (sand/soil mixes) and underdrains required by the engineering plans.

Who maintains the erosion control during the project?

Erosion control isn’t “set it and forget it.” We provide ongoing maintenance, including clearing silt from fences after heavy rains and repairing washouts, to ensure your site remains compliant with state inspections throughout the construction timeline.
