RISComparative Evaluation of Wattle Ditch Checks Composed of Differing Materials and Properties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction and development activities can generate new sources of water pollution by increasing storm-water runoff and erosion. Wattle ditch checks may be used on construction sites to mitigate channelized runoff by ...
Hydraulic Method to Evaluate the Performance of Ditch Check Practices and Products
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Design Methodology for the Selection of Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Practices Based on Regional Hydrological Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction-related activities typically disturb established vegetation, resulting in the potential for accelerated erosion. Because of the associated water quality impacts of construction activities, the USEPA has ...
Improvements in Standardized Testing for Evaluating Sediment Barrier Performance: Design of a Full-Scale Testing Apparatus
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Perimeter controls [i.e., sediment barriers (SBs) or sediment retention devices] are typically used on construction sites to retain sediment and prevent polluted stormwater runoff from adversely affecting aquatic ...
SEDspread: Sediment-Basin Design Tool for Construction Sites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluation and Modification of Wire-Backed Nonwoven Geotextile Silt Fence for Use As a Ditch Check
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction activities require contractors to install, continuously monitor, and maintain controls to minimize erosion and sediment transport. Construction sites discharge up to 100 times more sediment per acre than ...
State-of-the-Practice for Liquidated Damages, Incentive/Disincentive, and Road User Cost Provisions on High-Value Transportation Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads, highways, and bridges are necessary activities for social and economic growth in the United States. Highway construction often requires disruption of traffic due to ...
Design and Construction of Full-Scale Testing Apparatus for Evaluating Performance of Catch Basin Inserts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As stormwater runoff flows over impervious surfaces, it suspends and transports various pollutants from their original locations and often conveys them into municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Most municipalities ...
Practical Silt Fence Design Enhancements for Effective Dewatering and Stability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many of today’s construction sites rely on perimeter control practices to capture and treat sediment-laden stormwater emanating from disturbed lands. Silt fence systems are a common sediment control practice often specified ...
