Monarch Homes and Diggit Excavating met with Warren Co SWCD at a pre-construction meeting with the City of Lebanon where the requirements and sequence of sediment and erosion controls measures were discussed. Since that meeting, the team has been in constant contact with Warren Co SWCD, proving updates on initial groundbreaking and the control installation timelineas well as any changes to controls being used on the construction site.

As soon as clearing and grading work was set to begin, there was a proper construction entrance in place and silt fence around the clearing boundaries that was supplemented with a mulch berm from the on-site clearing. The basin was dug as part of the first phase as well. The basin will be temporarily stabilized and have a skimmer installed on the outlet once installed. 

?We asked our friends at Diggit Excavating for their take on how communication has helped with the development process from their perspective:

“At Diggit Excavating we strive to minimize the impact our work has on the surrounding environment. The relationship between community, agency, and contractor is something we take seriously and work hard to cultivate and maintain. Everything as designed on paper is not always perfect in the field but, with proper communication, we can work through any situation to develop practical and real work solutions that help maintain environmental controls. One way we like to accomplish this is by meeting with the agency up front to discuss the project and its environmental requirements to identify specific site constraints and other potential issues before they arise. Warren County has always been very accommodating and great to work with in this regard. Both parties appreciate and encourage this kind of involvement.”

This is a great example of communication between our agency and developers and contractors on projects and how compliance can begin right out of the gate as a new project begins. This proactive approach helps to avoid many complications later in the construction process.
