Keep your roadside dirt where it belongs! Join Jerald Fifield, Ph.D., PH, CPESC, CISEC and Tina Wills, PE, CISEC, CPESC for the first installment of our advanced Sediment and Erosion Control for Roadway Projects Master Class Series, Evaluating Erosion, Sediment, and Sedimentation on Roadway Projects, exploring the differences between erosion, sediment and sedimentation and developing an understanding of these variables allowing for the quantification of erosion and sediment yield on a roadway project site.
Erosion is the result of the combined effects of storm events, soil properties, topographic features, available cover, and land management practices, and results in the discharge of sediment. In order to minimize the discharge of sediment on roadway construction sites, we must first understand the erosion process and the resulting sediment yields.
This webinar will be available live on Wednesday, Nov. 11th, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. PST / 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. EST, and available on-demand after the live event. Register for the event by clicking the button below.
Working through Fifield’s best-selling Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans (3rd ed.), this first module of our Sediment and Erosion Control for Roadway Project Master Class Series provides information to develop an understanding of these variables that allows for the quantification of erosion rates and sediment yield on a roadway project site. In addition, this first module provides the underpinning of material needed to fully understand the remaining modules about sediment containment systems, barriers, erosion control, and assessing sediment and erosion control plans.
Fifield and Wills provide comparisons to demonstrate the difference between erosion rates determined by the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE and RUSLE2), as well as present mechanics of sediment yield using the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE). Lastly, Fifield and Wills complete a sediment yield to runoff volume comparison providing participants with an understanding how the volume of sediment in runoff waters vary and impact commonly found BMPs on roadway project construction sites.
Learning Objectives
Attendees can expect the discussion and education of the following learning objectives.
- Understand the differences between erosion, sediment, and sedimentation.
- Identify the limitations of erosion rate and sediment yield models.
- Gain an introductory understanding of the concept of a “sedigraph”.
- Understand sediment vs. runoff volumes.
