i <br /> Chapter 4 - Best Management Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control <br /> Erosion and Sediment Control <br /> The construction of the sediment basin shall be carried out in a manner such that erosion <br /> and water pollution are minimized downstream . <br /> w <br /> Final Disposal <br /> When temporary structures have served their intended purpose and the contributing <br /> drainage area has been properly stabilized , the embankment and resulting sediment <br /> deposits are to be leveled or otherwise disposed of according to the approved pollution <br /> control plan . <br /> Maintenance <br /> The embankment of the basin should be checked regularly to ensure that it is structurally <br /> sound and has not been damaged by erosion or construction equipment. The emergency <br /> spillway should be checked regularly to ensure that its lining is well established and <br /> erosion- resistant. The basin should be checked after each runoff-producing rainfall for <br /> s sediment cleanout. When the sediment reaches the cleanout level mark , it shall be <br /> removed and properly disposed of. <br /> Information to be Submitted for Approval <br /> Sediment Basin designs and construction plans submitted for review to the appropriate <br /> regulatory agency shall include : <br /> 1 . Specific location of the dam . <br /> 2 . Plan view of dam , storage basin and emergency spillway. <br /> 3 . Cross-sections and profiles of dam , principal spillway and emergency spillway. <br /> 4 . Details of pipe connections , riser to pipe connection , riser base , anti-seep collars, <br /> trash rack, and anti-vortex device . <br /> 5 . Runoff calculations for 10-year frequency storm. <br /> 6 . Storage Computations <br /> a . Total required <br /> b . Total available <br /> C. Level of sediment at which cleanout shall be required ; to be stated as a <br /> distance from the riser crest to the sediment surface . <br /> i <br /> 7 . Calculations showing design of pipe and emergency spillway. <br /> 4-93 <br />
