Do you know your sediment yield?
Join Jerald S. Fifield, Ph.D., PH, CPESC, CISEC and Tina R. Evans, PE, CISEC, CPESC for the first installment of our advanced Sediment and Erosion Control for Construction Sites Master Class Series, Evaluating Erosion, Sediment, and Sedimentation on Construction Sites, exploring the differences between erosion, sediment, and sedimentation and developing an understanding of these variables allowing for the quantification of erosion rates and sediment yield on construction sites.
This webinar is scheduled live on Wed., April 20 @ 11 a.m. PDT / 2 p.m. EDT, 1-1.5hr.* Register for the event by clicking the button below.
Erosion is the result of the combined effects of storm events, soil properties, topographic features, available cover, and land management practices, which results in the discharge of sediment. In order to minimize the discharge of sediment on construction sites, we must first understand the erosion process.
Working through Fifield’s best-selling Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans (3rded.), this first module of our Sediment and Erosion Control for Construction Sites Master Class provides information to develop an understanding of these variables that allows for the quantification of erosion rates and sediment yield on a construction site. In addition, this first module provides the underpinning of material needed to fully understand the remaining modules about sediment containment systems, barriers, erosion control, and assessing sediment and erosion control plans.
Fifield and Evans provide comparisons to demonstrate the difference between erosion rates determined by the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE and RUSLE2), as well as present mechanics of sediment yield using the sediment delivery ratio and the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE). Lastly, Fifield and Evans complete a sediment yield to runoff volume comparison providing participants with an understanding how the volume of sediment in runoff waters vary and impact commonly found BMPs on construction sites.
Learning Objectives
Attendees can expect the discussion and education of the following:
- Understanding of the differences between erosion, sediment, and sedimentation.
- Identify the limitations of erosion rate and sediment yield models.
- Gain an introductory understanding of the concept of a “sedigraph”.
- Understand sediment vs. runoff volumes.
Group Discount
Train your whole team without the hassle of travel, and at a discounted rate! For a limited time you may register your first attendee and location with a manual for $149 and all additional attendees with a manual at $109. Or you can register without the manual with your first attendee and location for $99 and all additional attendees without a manual for $59. We’ll provide your group administrator a single logon to access all lectures and workshops to broadcast to your group. Each registered attendee (if purchased) will receive a copy of Fifield’s Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans, 3rd edition, and a completion certificate toward the PDHs/CEUs completed.

Sediment and Erosion Control for Construction Sites
Master Class Manual
This presentation is based upon and works through the associated chapters in Jerald S. Fifield’s Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans (3rd ed.), and is presented as an intermediate to advanced exploration of erosion, sediment, and sedimentation. As such, we recommend purchasing the manual Designing and Reviewing Effective Sediment and Erosion Control Plans (3rd ed.) with the presentation.
