Urban construction sites are more susceptible to soil degradation than agricultural lands. Common issues include loss of topsoil and organic matter, increased compaction, and reduced microbial activity. This leads to offsite effects like increased water pollution from erosion, turbidity, and flooding. Inadequate soil preparation during development is a major cause of landscape problems like compaction and contamination that can harm plant growth for years. Maintaining good soil quality through practices like adding organic matter and preventing compaction is important for conserving water resources and supporting healthy landscapes.
You can help protect the Long Branch watershed by doing the following green actions in your yard:
Pick up pet waste
Reduce pesticides and fertilizer use
Grasscycle (mow high and let it lie)
Plant native plants
Remove invasive plants
Fix bare spots and erosion
Plant native trees and shrubs
Dispose of yard waste properly – dumping is not composting
Respect park boundaries and Resource Protection Areas
Ask your HOA or community association to plant native plant gardens
Record your green actions on the map and tell your neighbors about Watch the Green Grow

Soil erosion -- the impact of rain/irrigation water running across unprotected soil -- doesn't just scar the landscape. That runoff carries sediment and pollutants to surface waters. Mitigating the impacts of erosion cost money. But compost use has been proven to be an effective money-saver compared to more traditional erosion control methods.
Soil health for sustainable production intensification some perspectivesSri Lmb
Prof Amir Kassam provided insights on soil health and related it to the sustainable production at Regional Review and Planning Workshop 2017, Hanoi, Vietnam
Controlling Roadway Soil Erosion with Compostspickell
In this presentation given to the Maryland Highway Administration's Recycled Materials Task Force, Brenda Platt outlines how compost use can control soil erosion.
this presentation is about the reuse of treated wastewater.Different application and technologies involved. I have also put four case studies taken from some journals mentioned.
Judicious use of bio-wastes can re-carbonize the biosphere, restore degraded soils and improve soil health, produce biofuels and other value addition industrial byproducts, and improve the environment. In this context, the importance of recycling bio-wastes (e.g., agricultural, municipal and industrial) to restore soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration and stock and improve soil health cannot be over-emphasized. Crop residues, 510-836 Tg yr-1. are a major source of Carbon, plant nutrients, biofuels and industrial raw materials.There is a strong need of enhancing the awareness about proper disposal and use of bio-wastes through environmental education.
This Powerpoint was compiled by Sandeep Mehrotra, Chair of the Hastings Environmental Commission and Vice President, Hazen & Sawyer P.C., Environmental Engineers and Scientists. It covers Low Impact Development/Better Site Design Principles & Techniques - What they are, Why they matter in flooding and water quality. It was presented at a Stormwater Management Roundtable organized by Groundwork Hudson Valley/Saw Mill River Coalition, Greenburgh Environmental Forum, and Federated Conservationists of Westchester.
