| Any construction activity, from a minor building renovation to new construction, can greatly impact the local environment. | 任何施工活动，从小型建筑翻新到新建工程，都可能对当地环境产生重大影响。 |
| Construction activities can speed up natural erosion and sedimentation processes by removing vegetation and leaving soil exposed. | 施工活动会通过清除植被和使土壤暴露，加速自然侵蚀和沉积过程。 |
| This increases the levels of sediment and contaminants in the stormwater runoff that leaves the site, negatively impacting water quality, aquatic habitats, and wildlife. | 这会增加离开场地的雨水径流中的沉积物和污染物水平，对水质、水生栖息地和野生动物产生负面影响。 |
| Construction can also lead to soil compaction on the site, which deteriorates soil structure and fertility. | 施工还可能导致场地土壤压实，破坏土壤结构和肥力。 |
| Green Building Strategies / 绿色建筑策略 |
| Green building strategies aim to minimize site disturbance during construction. To do so, teams must implement erosion control strategies to prevent or slow down soil erosion caused by wind or water. | 绿色建筑策略旨在最大限度地减少施工期间的场地干扰。为此，团队必须实施侵蚀控制策略，以防止或减缓风或水引起的土壤侵蚀。 |
| Project teams create erosion control plans to address the unique needs of a project site in order to: | 项目团队制定侵蚀控制计划，以满足项目场地的独特需求，目的是： |
| • Prevent soil erosion and sediment runoff | • 防止土壤侵蚀和沉积物径流 |
| • Protect natural resources | • 保护自然资源 |
| • Ensure regulatory compliance | • 确保符合法规要求 |
| • Promote responsible construction through site-specific measures and ongoing management | • 通过针对场地的措施和持续管理促进负责任的施工 |
| Common erosion control measures include silt fences, biodegradable erosion control straw socks, and sediment basins. | 常见的侵蚀控制措施包括沉砂池、可生物降解的侵蚀控制草捆和沉积池。 |
