Hello All,
I wanted to see how everyone handles sediment from offsite undeveloped catchment areas that are tributary to a proposed project site.
I've been told that if your project is located downstream of a hillside/mountain, then you would have to put a sediment basin or design your...
Oldestguy & cvg, thanks for the input. These are good resources.
Regarding stilling basins, my understanding is that these are for larger dams/basins. I've seen in many design plans that a simple use of riprap at the end of the spillway is used. When is it appropriate to transition from using...
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some guidance on the design of spillways, with riprap at the toe of an embankment. This is specifically pertaining to the riprap.
Background
The project has 2 ponds (pond 1 for irrigation, pond 2 for mitigation), which are connected by a spillway. Since the...

Never thought of thinking the situation as a culvert. It may shed some light into my understanding.
cvg, that does make sense. If I wanted to account for...

I'm new to this site and I thought I'd pick peoples brain by asking a question.
What is the relationship between an inlet capacity and a storm drain capacity calculation? Say my inlet is able to handle the flow, and it's determined that it has a 2in ponding depth, but the pipe...
