Level
II - Design Principles for Erosion Prevention and Sediment
Control for Construction Sites
This
advanced two-day
course is designed for engineers, environmental designers, plan
preparers and reviewers. Landscape architects and other professionals
involved
with the construction site planning and design are encouraged
to attend. Detailed instruction is given on the engineering technologies
needed
to control stormwater on a construction site. Workshop
participants
will obtain the tools needed for developing an
acceptable, working
erosion and sediment control plan as described in TDEC's
Tennessee Erosion & Sediment Control Handbook and required
by the Tennessee
General Construction Stormwater Permit.
•
Site investigation and hydrologic analysis
• Alternative peak discharge methods
• Conveyance system design (open channels, rip rap, and RECP linings)
• Soils
and soil erosion prediction (RUSLE)
• Sediment transport process and analysis
• Overview and design of selected common structural controls
(i.e. sediment
control/ stormwater management ponds, check-dams, diversions,
retrofits)
OBJECTIVES AND GOALS:
• Review of surface water hydrologic principles and hydrologic evaluation
for construction sites including time of concentration, runoff
coefficient, SCS/NRCS Curve Number, & storm
event analysis.
• Review of peak runoff methods, including Rational & TR-55
approaches.
• Understanding design principles and performance of Best
Management Practices
(BMPs), including detailed temporary sediment pond analysis.
• Application of NRCS TR-55 software for determining construction site
runoff.
• Application and demonstration of RUSLE software.
Prerequisites: The Level I course, Fundamentals
of Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control, is
required; the workshop
participant should have a basic understanding of surface
water hydrology either
through formal engineering training or through equivalent
experience.Materials
needed: Bring a copy of the current edition of the Tennessee Erosion
and Sediment Control Handbook: A Guide to the Protection of State
Waters through
the use of Best Management Practices during Land Disturbing
Activities,
please bring it to the course. Also, bring a portable
calculator and pencil.

Cancellation Policy: In the event you are unable
to attend the workshop you registered for,
attendee substitutions
are allowed and encouraged. We will issue full
refunds for cancellations
made five (5) working days prior to the workshop

for limited workshop seats, no refund will be
issued thereafter
and no-show registrants will not be refunded. Requested
transfers
may be made to another scheduled workshop for a
$25 transfer fee charge.
Course Completion Certificate: Registered participants who attend both days of the workshop will receive, at the end of the second day, a Course Completion Certificate that indicates 14 Professional Development Hours (PDH) have been earned.
