  1. Other Site Information

 

  1. Refer to the following information sheets to complete solution to problem.

  • work sheet to determine peak flow rate from an agricultural watershed
  • grassed waterway design information sheet
  • rock chute design information sheet
  • drop pipe inlet design information sheet
  • grade control structure design information sheet
  • water and sediment control basin (WASCoB) design information sheet
  • tile/surface water inlet design information sheet

  1. See Figure 2.1, sketch and include:

  • north direction (at top of page)
  • roads, buildings, etc., indicating any effect they have on flow into or out of watershed
  • approximate field boundaries
  • approximate watershed boundary
  • exact location of erosion problem
  • location of proposed structural solution

Note: Include a survey showing field elevations for the erosion problem area where necessary for design, e.g. grassed waterway, drop structures.
