Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
Axis Engineering prepares soil erosion and sediment control (SESC) plans for residential and site development projects throughout New Jersey. These plans establish measures to minimize erosion and sediment discharge during construction, including limits of disturbance, sediment barriers, inlet protection, and site stabilization.
Where required, plans are prepared for review and certification by the applicable Soil Conservation District.

Jurisdiction
Soil Conservation District Review
SESC plans are reviewed and certified by the Soil Conservation District with jurisdiction over the project location. Axis prepares plans for projects throughout Middlesex, Union, Essex, Passaic, Somerset, and Monmouth Counties and provides engineering support during the district review process.
The applicable district, submission requirements, and review process are identified based on the project location.
The complete district reference table is on the Service Areas page.
Four-step engineering process
Frequently asked questions
SESC plan certification is generally required for construction projects involving more than 5,000 square feet of soil disturbance. Additional erosion control requirements may apply depending on the project and municipality.
When is an SESC plan required in New Jersey?
Who reviews and certifies an SESC plan?
The Soil Conservation District with jurisdiction over the project location reviews and certifies SESC plans. The applicable district and its submission requirements are identified during the engineering review.
Is an SESC plan the same as a stormwater management plan?
No. An SESC plan addresses erosion and sediment control during construction, while a stormwater management plan addresses how runoff will be managed after development. Depending on the project, both may be required.
