KDOT Temporary Erosion-Control Manual: A Guide for the Design, Installation,Inspection and Maintenance of Temporary Erosion-Control Measures in Kansas

摘要

KDOT must comply with current federal and state erosion-control requirements andprepare to meet even more stringent requirements in the future. The development and implementation of an effective stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) is essential. This manual is intended to give designers, contractor, installers, and inspectors the tools they need to implement practical and efficient SWPPPs. Each chapter of this manual includes sections on design, installation, inspection and maintenance for temporary erosion-control measures (TECMs). The TECM selection process has been streamlined through the use of flowcharts. The user identifies an erosion or sedimentation condition (ditch, slope, and inlet) and then answers site-specific questions along the flowchart paths. When the end of a path is reached, TECM selection is complete. The user is then directed to specific pages in the manual. Each TECM description contains information on design, placement, material specification, installation, inspection, and maintenance. No design calculations are needed--all design data is in tabular form.
