Erosion and Sediment Control Tip #75
If you “do it right the first time”, you shouldn’t have to repair a site. Here is one example from the 2010 Clear Water Alabama event where the project is now over 14 years old. Riprap outlet protection was installed at the pipe outlet to dissipate the energy of the flowing water. The eroded channel was shaped to design dimensions, covered in TRM, infilled with topsoil, and sodded. Other than a little vegetation management needed at the riprap outlet, the site is still pristine. Perry L Oakes, PE Program Coordinator AL Erosion and Sediment Control Program
