Description
Roland Cormier, Manon Mallet, and Gabriel Goguen show how sampling plans can check whether site safeguards for water quality really work. Building sites must control erosion and sediment so soil does not wash into streams. Inspecting every control is too costly, so the team adapts acceptance sampling, a method that judges a batch from a sample. Their 2026 paper works through an erosion and sediment control case from start to finish.
The plan weighs two risks: passing bad work, which harms the environment, and failing good work, which burdens the builder. Sample size decides how sharp that judgment can be. The authors lay out the math for the pass number for any sample size. They argue the method gives regulators a fair, clear check during active work.
