TDEC 2005
Training Workshop
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 TDECís
Tennessee Erosion & Sediment Control Handbook and required
by the Tennessee
General Construction Stormwater Permit.

TOPICS DISCUSSED INCLUDE:
•
Site investigation and hydrologic analysis
• Alternative peak discharge methods
• Conveyance system design (open channels, rip rap, RECP's, etc.)
• Sediment transport process and analysis
• Overview and design of selected common vegetative and 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, & 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
of RUSLE software to evaluate various erosion reduction covers and practices.
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.
PDHs: 14.0 hours. Times: Registration
8:00-8:30 a.m. first
day; Classes begin at 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Lunch and break refreshments
will be provided both days.
Cost: $300
Registration: Registration is limited to 40 persons.
Early registration and payment are strongly encouraged. You must
have your registration in 5 working days prior to the workshop to
