During the summer of 1977, field surveys and conferences with Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation district personnel were conducted to determine the statewide status of maintenance efforts in erosion, and sedimentation control. As a result of this study two types of problems were identified: (1) field, and (2) administrative and personnel. Eleven field problems and three administrative and personnel problems are cited in the report and solutions are spelled out for each. In addition, four recommendations are offered. One of these calls for the addition of field maintenance techniques to Department specifications the other three concern the assignment and duties of district environmental personnel to work on erosion and sedimentation control. The need to have a full-time erosion and sediment control specialist in each district is stressed.
