  1. Best Management Practices • Structural Measures – • Level IA: Fundamentals • Education and Certification for Persons • Involved in Land Disturbing Activities Issued May 2009

  2. The Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control In Georgia • Referred to as the Manual or Green Book • Chapter 6 of the Manual focuses on the standards and specifications for planning, design and installation of erosion and sediment control measures. Updates to the Manual can be found on GSWCC’s website at www.gaswcc.georgia.gov under Programs Urban LandsNew Updates to the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control • Page includes newly approved practices, approved products list and other associated documents.

  3. Best Management Practices Definition Vegetative measures & structural measures Properly designed, installed, & maintained in accordance with specification in the Manual for E&S Control Provide effective erosion prevention & sedimentation control

  4. Check Dam Definition A small temporary barrier constructed across a swale, drainage ditch, or area of concentrated flow Purpose Reduce velocity Filter sediment Stabilize grade Not to be used in a live stream Cd

  5. Check Dam Design Criteria There is no formal design. The following standards shall be used: Drainage area shall not exceed Two (2) acres for stone check dams One (1) acre for hay bales Height - the center of the check dam must be at least 9 inches lower than outer edge. Height should be 2 feet maximum measured to center of check dam. Cd

  6. Check Dam Design Graded 2”-10” How to Compute L: L = Height of Cd / Slope as decimal

  7. Check Dam • Example problem • Independence School – School Road • Slope From Topo = 5% – 13% • Find length between check dams for • 5% • 10% • 13%

  8. Check Dam Solution • L = Height of Cd / Slope as Decimal • L = 2 ft. / 0.05 = 40 ft. • L = Height of Cd / Slope as Decimal • L = 2 ft. / 0.10 = 20 ft. • L = Height of Cd / Slope as Decimal • L = 2 ft. / 0.13 = 15 ft.

  9. Check Dam Example

  10. Channel Stabilization Definition Improving, constructing, or stabilizing an open channel or waterway Purpose Prevent erosion and sediment deposition Provide adequate capacity for flood water, drainage, or other water management practices Ch

  11. Channel Stabilization Design Criteria Typical linings include vegetation, riprap, and concrete Lining selection depends on the velocities within the channel Vegetative lining shall be established using erosion control blankets or matting or sod Ch

  19. Stream Channel Diversion Definition A temporary channel constructed to convey flow around a construction site while a permanent structure is being constructed within a streambed. Purpose To protect the stream channel from erosion and allows work “in the dry”. Dc

  20. Stream Channel Diversion Design Criteria Drainage areas < 1 square mile (640 acres) Bottom width shall be a minimum of 6 feet or equal to the bottom width of the existing streambed, whichever is greater Dc

  21. Stream Channel Diversion Design Criteria Side slopes shall be no steeper than 2:1 Table 6-12.1 gives channel linings and acceptable velocities. Note differences from channel stabilization. Dc

  22. Stream Diversion Channel Stream Diversion Channel Linings Lining MaterialAcceptable Velocity Geotextile/ 0 - 2.5 fpspolyethylene film or sod Geotextile alone 2.5 - 9.0 fps Type 1 Riprap & 9.0 - 13.0 fps Geotextile Dc

  23. Stream Channel Diversion

  24. Diversion Definition A ridge of compacted soil, constructed above, across, or below a slope to safely convey runoff to a stable outlet Purpose To reduce the erosion of steep or otherwise highly erodible areas by reducing slope length, intercepting storm runoff and diverting it to a stable outlet at a non-erosive velocity Di

  25. Diversion Design Criteria Location determined by outlet conditions, topography, land use, soil type, length of slope, seep planes, and the development layout A diversion consists of two components: Ridge Design – have stable side slopes, no steeper than 2:1 and minimum width of 4 ft at the design water elevation after settlement. Design shall allow 10% for settlement Channel Design – Land slope must be taken into consideration Di

  26. Di Diversion Selection of design storm based on type of diversion to be used • Temporary 10-yr, 24-hr storm • Permanent 25 or 50-yr, 24-hr storm

  27. Diversion

  28. Temporary Downdrain Structure Definition A temporary structure used to convey concentrated storm water down the face of cut or fill slopes. Purpose To safely conduct storm runoff from one elevation to another without causing slope erosion and allowing the establishment of vegetation on the slope. Dn1

  29. Temporary Downdrain Structure Design Criteria There is no formal design. The following standards shall be used: Placement – located on undisturbed soil or well compacted fill Diameter – provide sufficient capacity required to convey the max runoff expected during the life of the drain Sized according to its contributing drainage area * 0.3 Ac = 10 in. * 0.5 Ac. = 12 in. * 1.0 Ac. = 18 in. Dn1

  30. Temporary Downdrain Structure Commonly used in conjunction with Diversions (Di) Removed once the permanent storm water disposal system is installed and functioning Storm drain outlet protection (St), shall be placed at the downdrain outlet Dn1
