FIGURE 7.5<br />

Use of Baffles in <strong>Sediment</strong> Basins<br />

To avoid potential failure, outlet barrels should be installed early in the construction of the embankment<br />

rather than after the embankment is completed, <strong>and</strong> should drain to a stable receiving watercourse.<br />

Suitable outlet protection should be provided for all basin outfalls. Basins should not be constructed in<br />

locations where subsequent trenching for sewer lines <strong>and</strong> utilities will disturb the embankment.<br />
