Typical applications include anapron lined with rock riprap, concrete, or vegetation.APPLICABILITY• Outlet protection is placed between the runoff conveyance structures and astabilized drainage or infiltration system. Suitable at outlets of drainageconveyance systems where energy dissipation is needed because of theconcentrated flow and increased velocities.• Outlet protection is particularly appropriate at outlets discharging at thebottom of steep slopes.• Appropriate for both systems that convey constant flows and those thatconvey short, intense flows.• May also be suitable where lined conveyances transition to natural channels.TRPA <strong>BMP</strong> HandbookChapter 4: <strong>BMP</strong> Toolkit2012 4.3.1.4-Outlet ProtectionPage 1
