Soil & Erosion Control Measures Checklist

Forestry & Environmental Project

Soil & Erosion Control Measures – High Priority
Soil erosion-prone areas are identified and mapped.
Contour trenches or bunds are constructed on slopes.
Check dams / gabions are installed in drainage channels.
Mulching is used to retain soil moisture and prevent erosion.
Terracing is used where slopes are steep and erosion risk is high.
Vegetative cover is maintained to stabilize soil.
Surface runoff channels are directed safely away from erosion-prone zones.
Rainwater harvesting structures are in place.
Soil compaction is minimized in plantation and work zones.
Soil nutrient levels are monitored periodically.
Organic matter (compost, humus) is added to improve soil structure.
Use of chemical fertilizers is minimized and controlled.
Grazing is regulated to prevent soil disturbance.
Exposed soil is covered through vegetation or protective measures.
Silt fences or erosion control nets are installed where necessary.
Drainage systems are free from blockages and maintained.
Roads and tracks are aligned to minimize slope erosion.
Heavy vehicles operate only in designated movement corridors.
Land preparation avoids excessive leveling or soil removal.
Slope stability is monitored after heavy rain events.
Soil restoration measures are used after harvesting or construction.
Natural vegetation barriers are maintained near water bodies.
Community awareness programs address soil conservation.
Sedimentation in water bodies is monitored and controlled.
No unauthorized land clearing or plowing is taking place.
Stormwater diversion systems are installed and functional.
Erosion control records and inspection logs are maintained.
Soil quality improvements align with long-term land restoration goals.
Regular inspections are conducted during monsoon and flood seasons.
Overall soil conservation measures comply with environmental regulations.
