Soil Type
• For gravel roads, this is going to be gravel
• Most erodible materials are fine sands to silts

Land Cover
• Vegetation• Pavement• Bare soil

Topography
• Slope (gravity)• Slope length

Groundwater
• Submerged soils have less ability to resist erosion (soil strength)
• Groundwater places a pressure on the soil against gravity

Surface Water• Velocity• Depth of flow
– Sheet flow– Shallow
concentrated– Rills– Gullies

Fundamentally• Sediment is available• Something can move the sediment

Erosion Control
• Minimize sediment available to move (protect) –prevent erosion
• Eliminate what moves the sediment (drain)

After Erosion Occurred
• Now in management mode – how best to remove the sediment before it gets to the receiving water?

SEDMODL (WEPP with GIS)GIS‐based road erosion and delivery model designed to identify road segments with high potential for delivering sediment to streams. The model uses an elevation grid combined with road and stream information layers to produce what is essentially a computer‐generated version of the Washington surface road erosion model. It estimates background sediment, generation of sediment for individual road segments, finds road/stream intersections, and estimates delivery of road sediment to streams.
