Describes and illustrates important physical, chemical, and biological principles aimed at producing lakes for fish, wildlife, recreation, water supply, and other purposes. Some literature cited as recent as mid-1970's may not be entirely applicable to present reclamation practices or regulatory controls. Collins, CO 80522. Detailed design procedure is given for each group which will estimate total amount of settleable solids from a small area with sedimentation control structure or treatment for specific design storm.
Procedure also is given for estimating the mean annual sediment yield from a small area.
Information on design, installation, maintenance, and cost is given for each sedimentation control measure. Methods for determining maximum sedimentation system are presented. Information applies to coal regions. This bibliography presents abstracts by 73 contributors on sediment control methods. First approach is more general in nature and serves as a basis for evaluating alternatives on a regional basis.
