The quantities of sediment produced from construction slopes and roadways are determined, and a methodology to assist in the determination of these quantities is presented. During the study a portable rainulator was fabricated and applied to collect water runoff and soil erosion data from forest logging roads in northern California. The data collection program was conducted on 10 representative soils in the study area and included testing of cut slopes, fill slopes, road surfaces, and undisturbed sites above the roadway. The data were analyzed and used as input to a simple mathematical model. Additional input parameters were estimated and the model was calibrated. The mathematical model was found to reproduce accurately measured values of water and sediment yield from the roadways. After the mathematical model was calibrated, a procedural guide and an interactive program were developed. Both can be used to assist the forest planner in determining the sediment produced from different roadway geometries and in assessing roadway design alternatives. (Author)
