Sediment Basin Sizing

Sizes construction-phase sediment basins for erosion and sediment control per the Blue Book (Managing Urban Stormwater: Soils and Construction). Calculates settling zone volume (V_s = Cv*A), sediment storage volume (V_sed = R*A*D), and total basin volume for Type D (dry) or Type F (wet with permanent pool) configurations based on soil loss rates and climate region.
