Type of Report: Final Design Manual

Abstract:

Manual provides design information for 4 groups of sediment control structures

and treatments suitable for use on small areas in surface coal mining. Detailed

design procedure is given for each group which will estimate total amount of

settleable solids from a small area with sediment control structure or treatment

for specific design storm. Procedure is given for estimating the mean annual

sediment yield from a small area. Info on design, installation, maintenance and

cost is given for each sediment control measure. Methods to determine maximum

sediment control systems are provided. Materials in manual apply to coal

bearing regions of the continental U.S.
