In-channel Sediment Basins: Innovative or Ineffective? A Large-Scale Research Study at the Auburn University Stormwater Research Facility

Are in-channel sediment basins innovative or ineffective? Come check out this poster to learn about the large-scale testing methods used at Auburn University's Stormwater Research Facility where a 200 ft. in-channel sediment basin was evaluated. This poster presents the sediment retention and water quality improvement exhibited by an in-channel basin when treatments such as geotextile lining, surface skimmer, porous flow baffles, upstream forebay, and flocculant were used.
