Provides the tools needed to control and remediate the quality of natural water systems Now
in its Second Edition, this acclaimed text sets forth core concepts and principles that govern …

This research aims to assess the clogging process of geotextiles within silt fences. For that
purpose, the filtering efficiency, flow rate, and clogging of three geotextiles (GTX-1, GTX-2 …

Construction-related activities typically disturb established vegetation, resulting in the
potential for accelerated erosion. Because of the associated water quality impacts of …

Sediment remains one of the most commonly occurring pollutants affecting the US's water
bodies, as identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)(1) …

Highlights Need a unified test standard to evaluate the effectiveness of a sediment perimeter
barrier (SPB). Water sampling location affects evaluation of a SPB in terms of water quality …

Most roadway construction projects disturb existing vegetation exposing bare soil to
environmental variables (ie, precipitation, wind, and freeze and thaw) that cause erosion …

Sediment runoff rates from construction sites can be substantially higher than those of other
land uses. Construction stormwater regulations require detailed stormwater pollution …

Sediment basins are temporary practices commonly used to detain stormwater runoff and
capture suspended sediment on construction sites. A 79.0 m3 (2790 ft3) sediment basin …

Sediment Barriers (SBs) are crucial for effective erosion control, and understanding their
capacities and limitations is essential for environmental protection. This study compares the …

Suspended sediment is the primary pollutant prevalent in runoff waters exiting construction
sites with exposed and disturbed land. In this research, the effectiveness of a chemical …
