| Popis: | Although conservation planning for agricultural lands has evolved to its current relatively stable form over many decades, conservation planning for construction sites is still in its infancy. This project drew on the resources of various agencies and researchers to develop a conservation planning tool specifically geared towards meeting construction site planning needs in Wisconsin, basing it on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, version 2 (RUSLE2). The project began by deconstructing the planning process itself to determine possible approaches and critical elements, and used those pieces to build a rational new approach to construction site conservation planning. Although no changes were required to the erosion or sediment delivery calculations in RUSLE2, this new tool required substantial changes to the database, the interface, and how the results were presented and packaged. The lessons learned in this effort should be instructive to both a general discussion of the construction site planning process and to attempts to develop other tools that meet this need. |
