Total Ret Pond Assignment...Did I forget anything?
Total Ret Pond Assignment...Did I forget anything?
(OP)
I am to draw a pond/bank/fence to the dimensions specified, estimate a total cost for the project, and list all the steps ness to design it. My steps include:
Testing the soil for what sort of (if any) liner it needs.
Testing for what sort of compaction will be needed on the bank (for driving on it)
Testing/calcing for what protection the bank will need from possible erosion
Interior bank protection from waves (rip rap i guess)
Mosquito, and/or rodent control
Safety fence during construction
Warning Sign posted during/after construction
Opperators building equiped with refrigerator (samples?) first aid, life boats/jackets?, parking area, a few lights.
If needed:
Liner type, and anchors/assembly
Erosion blanket and anchors/assembly (or type of grass if that's all it needs)
How high should my chainlink fence be? Do I need barbed wire?
My bank is 45 degrees, how much of a slope can my ramp have? (I think I drew it at 30 degrees because that was how much cut I had left over the way i calc'ed it)
He told us not to worry about any of the inlet or outlets, or any of the sewarge calc's (evaporation BOD ect) or rainfall or anything like that.
Thanks,
She

The fridge in the lab is required for the composited samples. Just large enough to hold the compositing containers, usually just a little one like you had in your college dorm room.
Life boats/jackets would require more OSHA-guidance than engineering. Check with them.
Chain-link fence should be 8' high.
It should definitely have barbed-wire on top. And a lock on the gate.
A ramp up a grass bank should be no steeper than 10%, or trucks won't be able to traverse it.
