Designing Permanent Erosion and Sediment Control Systems

At the end of this course you will be able to: Describe the need for permanent erosion and sediment control systems how to protect the environment and how to save time and money lost to erosion damage List the limitations of different soil types and soil coverings to sustain runoff while at the same time minimizing impact to health safety and welfare of the community. Identify the methods and strategies used for permanent erosion and sediment control. Select the adequate erosion control design applications according to specific site characteristics such as area of drainage basin and terrain slope. Identify the Best Management Practices (BMPs) for permanent erosion and sediment control in order to mitigate flooding reduce pollution and provide other amenities.
