Erosion From Roadside Ditches

  • Ditch runoff causing erosion below roadway
  • Ditchbank erosion
  • Inboard ditch channel downcutting
  • Inboard ditch channel is obstructed

Inboard ditch channel is obstructed

  • Plugged culvert
  • Rockfall or slumping of cutbank

S13: Do you notice that the inboard ditch channel is being downcut? Bank erosion and channel downcutting in ditch

100+ cubic yards eroded per 1000 ft. of ditch

Presentation #1 March 19, 2016 Workshop 43 S15: Is overflow from a plugged culvert diverting water down the road surface? Inadequately sized culverts, drainage ditch obstructed and crushed or plugged culverts.

Unstable road banks or slopes

S16: Do you see rockfall or slumping due to instability of the cutbank or hillslope above the roadway?

Slumping, rockfall,

  • etc. onto road from

unstable banks

Non-Cropped and Non-Road Areas

Erosion From Non-Cropped Areas

  • Bare soils or inadequate cover
  • Sheet or rill erosion
  • Gullies or Headcuts
  • Animal access to water bodies

Presentation #1 March 19, 2016 Workshop 47

Do you notice erosion or sediment loss from areas of bare soil such as cut banks, field margins, between field blocks or greenhouses, on abandoned slopes, soil mixing/handling or compost areas, equipment yards, parking areas, and postharvest

  • r cold storage facilities?

Soil erosion on unprotected ditchbank

Bare Soil During Rainy Season

Sheet erosion – a dime thickness over a 1 acres = 15 tons/acre

Do you see signs of or the potential for sheet erosion, rill erosion, gullies, headcuts, mudslides, or landslides in steep non-cropped areas?

… due to past farm, ranch or forest practices

Practices to Protect Otherwise Bare Soil

Filter Strip

Filter Strip is a broad band of vegetation that protects an

  • therwise bare soil area from eroding that in this case has

sheet flow across it.

Summary of Sediment Management Strategies

  • 1. Observe water flow across the land
  • 2. Layout the farm to optimize runoff patterns
  • 3. Manage the crop to reduce runoff
  • 4. Reduce wind erosion

5 Protect uncropped areas

  • 5. Protect uncropped areas
  • 6. Protect roads and ditches from concentrated flow
  • 7. Detain runoff and filter eroded sediment
