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.
