Smaller, lighter particles such as __________________ particles are easily transported
and are _____________________ to settle out. (Unit 1) - ansClay-sized; slow/difficult
The Five Principles of Erosion and Sedimentation Control are:
-____________ the development to fit the natural site conditions
-Expose the ________________ practical area for the _________________ possible time
-Apply __________ _________________ prevention practices as first life of defense
-Apply ___________________ control practices to prevent off-site sedimentation
-Implement a thorough __________________, ___________________, and
_____________________ program. (Unit 1) - ans- Plan
- Smallest; shortest
- Soil erosion
- Sediment
- Inspection, maintenance, and follow-up
The most effective way to prevent erosion is keep the soil covered with
__________________. (Unit 1) - ansVegetation
It is much more effective to prevent ____________ than to control the
____________________ generated from erosion. (Unit 1) - ansErosion; sediment
When developing a runoff and SESC strategy, remember that _____________ and
________ _______________ control is more effective and cost efficient than _______________
control. (Unit 2) - ansrunoff; soil erosion; sediment
Without proper planning, a construction generally results in an _______________ in
runoff. (Unit 2) - ansIncrease.
____________________ controls rarely reduce ________________ or
___________________. (Unit 2) - ansSediment; runoff; erosion.
, Erosion and sedimentation may cause:
-Loss of ___________ _______________
-__________________ damage to roads, buildings or bridges.
-___________________, resulting in reduction of fish _______________ _________,
reduced _____________ or _______________ _______________ capacity, and
______________ costs to maintain ______________.
-_________________ loading. (Unit 1) - ans- fertile topsoil
- Structural
- Deposition; spawning areas; channel; storm drain; increased; turbidity
- Pollutant
The climatic factors that strongly influence erosion and runoff are _______________
amount, _______________, and ________________. (Unit 1) - ansRainfall, frequency,
intensity.
Soil properties influencing erodibility include: (Unit 1) - ansTexture, structure,
cohesion, natural drainage class
Texture refers to the ___________ or _____________________ of ____________ of
soil particles in soil. (Unit 1) - ansSize; combination of sizes
Structure refers to the degree to which individual soil particles _____________ to each
other. (Unit 1) - ansAdhere
Slope _________________, _____________________, and ___________________
affect erodibility. (Unit 1) - ansSteepness, length, and roughness.
Sediment deposition occurs when soil-laden wind or water ____________ enough to
allow the soil particles to settle out. (Unit 1) - ansSlows
The ____________, _______________, and ________________ of the transported
particles influence the rate at which they settle out. (Unit 1) - ansSize, shape, and density.
