Which project type is roadways, utilities, and stream corridors?

• A. Linear Projects
• B. Box Projects
• C. Large Land Development
• D. Vertical Projects

Answer: (A)

Linear projects are defined by a long, narrow footprint that runs through the landscape. Roadways, utilities, and stream corridors fit this description because they extend along a route or corridor rather than occupying a broad area or a tall structure. In erosion control for linear projects, the emphasis is on managing conditions along the entire length of the corridor—from access and staging to crossings and stabilization—so sediment stays out of nearby waterways and soils along the route. The other options describe different geometries: a compact, square or rectangular work area; a large, expansive development; or a tall, vertical structure. So roadways, utilities, and stream corridors are linear projects.
