Major construction activities include the development of residential and commercial/ industrial areas, as well as transportation facilities. The major pollutant associated with these construction activities is sediment. Additional impacts are those associated with specific pollutants such as fuel, oil, paints, glues, pesticides, fertilizers, metals, sanitary and solid wastes, are also generated by construction activities. The presence of these pollutants is dependent on site-specific activities and management practices utilized during and after the construction project. Various factors relating to construction impacts on the receiving water body include the type and duration of construction, rainfall distribution and frequency, soil characteristics, topography, distance to the receiving water body, and the type of management practices utilized. Proximity to the receiving water body could also greatly influence the resulting sediment and pollutant loads and the type of control measures necessary to reduce these pollutants.
