How to Compute L:
L = Height of Cd / Slope as decimal
Graded 2”-10”

Check Dam
Example problem Independence School – School Road Slope From Topo = 5% – 13%
Find length between check dams for
1. 5%
2. 10%
3. 13%
8
Check Dam
Solution1. L = Height of Cd / Slope as Decimal
L = 2 ft. / 0.05 = 40 ft.
2. L = Height of Cd / Slope as Decimal L = 2 ft. / 0.10 = 20 ft.
3. L = Height of Cd / Slope as Decimal L = 2 ft. / 0.13 = 15 ft.

Surface RougheningDefinition • Providing a rough soil surface on the contour
Purpose• Aid in the establishment of vegetative cover with seed • Reduce runoff velocity and increase infiltration• Reduce erosion and provide for sediment trapping
Soil surface should not be roughened if slope is to be
stabilized with matting or blankets
Su
84
Surface RougheningDesign Criteria
Selection of an appropriate method of surface
roughening depends on the type of slope. Slope
steepness, mowing requirements and whether the
slope is formed by cutting or filling should be
considered when choosing one of the three methods
of achieving a roughened slope surface.• Stair-Step Grading• Grooving• Tracking

Tracking with bulldozer treads on clay soils is not recommended unless no alternatives are available.The soil surface is severely compacted and runoff is increased.

Topsoiling
DEFINITION• Stripping off the more fertile top soil, storing it, then spreading it over the disturbed area after completion of construction activities.
PURPOSE• To provide a suitable soil medium for vegetative growth on areas where other measures will not produce or maintain a desirable stand.
Tp
88
Conditions• This practice is recommended for sites of 2:1 or flatter slopes where:
1.The texture of the exposed subsoil or parent material is not suitable to produce adequate vegetative growth. 2. The soil material is so shallow that the rooting zone is not deep enough to support plants with continuing supplies of moisture and food. 3. The soil to be vegetated contains material toxic to plant growth.
