Matching Products to Projects – Asking Better Questions to Prevent Sediment Loss
Because there are no established performance standards for sediment control devices, products for a specific practice (e.g. perimeter sediment barriers, inlet protection, slope/channel interruption) are typically approved based on material specifications that do not correlate to actual field performance. Once the project begins, the least expensive product is chosen despite there are better performing products available for that specific project. This presentation will explore tools to model performance of sediment control products based on product specific properties and project specific conditions. These tools ask better questions to predict performance and ensure compliance as opposed to considering all products and all projects the same. The output of the models will be validated based on case studies of projects.
