Kean Students Learn About NJ Soil Erosion Control Standards
On a field trip to several local construction sites in Ocean County, students learned about the New Jersey Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Standards, which are critical to protection of bay and water resources.
Senior Erosion Control Specialist, Ramon Mejia, and Inspector I, Ben Hayden, of Ocean County Soil Conservation District, shared their knowledge and expertise with students enrolled in Kean University’s Principles of Environmental Soil Science, at the Kean Ocean campus, in Toms River, NJ. On a field trip to several local construction sites in Ocean County, Mr. Mejia and Mr. Hayden taught the students about the New Jersey Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Standards. Students were able to see firsthand how several of the 32 Vegetative and Engineering Standards are installed and operate to ensure effective management of soil and water resources during construction.
