3、thod covers the guidelines,requirements,and procedures for evaluating the ability of temporary ditchcheck systems to protect earthen channels from stormwater-induced erosion.Critical elements of this protection are theability of the temporary ditch check to:1.1.1 Slow or pond runoff,or both,to encou

5、ly found on construction sitesat the conclusion of earthwork operations,but prior to the startof revegetation work.Therefore this test method considers onlyunvegetated conditions.1.3 This test method provides a comparative evaluation of atemporary ditch check to baseline bare soil conditions underco

7、ndard are regarded as theindustry standard.In addition,they are representative of thesignificant digits that should generally be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for the users objectives;and
8、it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of reported data to com-mensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scope ofthis standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethods for engineering design.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstanda
