Areas under construction are usually devoid of any surface vegetation and topsoil and remain bare for extended periods of time. This process allows for extremely high quantities of subsoil to runoff into surrounding stormwater systems where receiving waters eventually accumulate large sediment loads. This increase in sediment decreases the amount of light penetrating through the water and thereby decreases the diversity and productivity of aquatic organisms.
