FAST-TEK develops erosion control plans and implements erosion mitigation measures, as by evaluating existing surface water drainage, mapping of vegetation, development, rock outcrops and surface soils. Techniques include stormwater and sediment detention basins, as well as increasing the roughness coefficient on existing drainage systems to decrease stormwater runoff velocities. Water retention areas are occasionally used for a permanent response to peak flow. Cost-effective temporary measures are used for short-term solutions.
