• Abstract:
  The objective of the study was to monitor and
  
  document the performance of newly designed
  
  sediment basins that were constructed for the 502
  
  project in Franklin County. The following tasks were
  
  proposed by the research team to achieve the
  
  objective:
  
  Task 1 – Assess performance characteristics of
  
  sediment basins on the 502 project
  
  Task 2 – Collect cost data and perform a literature
  
  review
  
  Task 3 – Survey of the current state‐of‐the‐practice
  
  Task 4 – Prepare final project reports documenting
  
  the findings.
  
  For Task 1, originally five sediment basins were
  
  planned to be constructed on the 502 project.
  
  Basins 2, 3, and 5 were omitted by ALDOT due to
  
  unfavorable site conditions. Sediment basin 1 was
  
  constructed in March and April of 2011, but wet
  
  weather conditions at the location where the basin
  
  was constructed prevented researchers from
  
  properly installing the data collection equipment
  
  after the basin was initially built; therefore basin 1
  
  was not monitored. All data collection for Task 1
  
  was performed on sediment basin 4 at the 502
  
  construction project in Franklin County.
