ESC’s, ESCP’s, SWPPP’s, they may have different names in different places however they all aim to accomplish the same goals. Identify the risks of pollution to the environment based on tasks necessary to complete the project then describe the management practices to reduce those risks. Pollution is not limited to sediment from erosion of site soils but also wastes from tool clean up beyond concrete washout, dust and debris from demolition, and all other potential releases from all other activities. Duly diligent analysis of the project tasks from start to finish is necessary for compliance as well as preparing good plans. The best plans will actually increase productivity and profitability. This presentation will look at the building blocks of better ESC’s and how to organize them into a meaningful plan for project managers.
