What is the difference between mud, soil, dirt, erosion and sediment?
- Mud - wet dirt
- Soil - particle with organic and inorganic matter
- Sand - large particles, good filter
- Silt - medium size, mixed types (loam)
- Clay - very small grain size, holds water
- Dirt - the stuff of the bottom of your shoe
- Erosion - soil that has been undercut
- Sediment - deposition of eroded soil
Are there any fun games involving environmental education?
What are the rules when it comes to erosion?
Do I need a permit when I disturb the soil?
Projects that disturb over 0.50 acre require a permit thru the Town
