Limitations of Commonly Found Construction Site Sediment Control BMPs

At Forester University, our live webinars present you with the erosion control experts, who share best management practices, informative project case studies, and real-world applications. Join our faculty of industry experts in our live webinar (or series of webinars) exploring the technological innovations, project site applications, and any associated regulatory requirements in a comprehensive discussion of this topic. Please see below for a full description and registration information for this event.

Limitations of Commonly Found Construction Site Sediment Control BMPs
April 29, 2015; 11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Are your temporary BMPs reliable? Join Jerald S. Fifield, Ph.D., PH, CPESC, CISEC and Tina R. Wills, PE, CISEC, CPESC for the second installment of our advanced Sediment and Erosion Control for Construction Sites Master Class Series, Limitations of Commonly Found Construction Site Sediment Control BMPs, exploring temporary BMPs, their limitations (e.g., barrier BMPs), and the principals and practice in assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of barrier BMPs.

Travel to any typical construction site, and you will find temporary BMPs that (unfortunately) become more for show and tell than for reducing sediment from runoff waters. While the objective of these temporary BMPs is to capture sediment, the reality is that only a small reduction occurs when flood flow conditions occur.

[text_ad] Working through Fifield’s best-selling Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans (3rd ed.), this second module of our Sediment and Erosion Control for Construction Sites Master Class Series explores the effectiveness of shallow temporary barriers to remove sediment from construction site runoff waters through the application of mathematical and scientific principles. Join Fifield and Wills for a discussion with emphasis on the limitation of using barriers in front of storm sewer inlets and as check structures in drainage ditches. Additionally, Fifield and Wills investigate why placing barriers in drainage channels result in sediment or erosion control depending upon proper planning and implementation. Future Sessions include: • May 6: Designing Effective Sediment Basins and Traps • May 13: Using Erosion Control BMPs on Construction Sites • May 20: Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans, Part I: What Designers & Reviewers Need to Understand and Complete • May 27: Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans, Part II: Calculating Performance Goals and Plan Effectiveness • 3 Interactive Workshops All sessions and workshops are presented live and on-demand so you may attend at your leisure, and are accompanied by a quiz to test your skills. Learning on your own at home online, or with a group, Forester University’s Master Class Series is designed as an interactive experience with the leading experts in the field. Presenter(s): Jerald S.
