Overview

This RUSLE2 Modeling course delves into the principles of soil erosion, the mechanics behind the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) models, and their practical applications in various environmental and construction settings. Participants will learn to use the official NRCS RUSLE2 software for accurate erosion prediction and effective soil conservation strategies. This RUSLE2 training course is designed for qualified SWPPP developers, environmental professionals, land developers, and anyone involved in land management, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to mitigate erosion impact and enhance land sustainability.

A key component of the course is the Practical Application Assignment, which bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world scenarios. This hands-on assignment challenges students to apply the RUSLE2 model to actual case studies, enabling them to analyze and predict soil erosion under various land-use conditions. By engaging with this practical exercise, participants will enhance their ability to design and implement effective soil conservation measures tailored to specific project needs, thereby solidifying their learning and ensuring they can apply their knowledge effectively in their professional environments.

Common uses for RUSLE2 Modeling in stormwater management include:

Predict Erosion Rates: Calculate soil loss for each project phase, ensuring erosion controls maintain conditions as protective as pre-construction levels.
Evaluate Sediment Risk: Determine sediment risk levels (low, medium, or high) based on soil loss rates, factoring in receiving water risk.
Manage Sediment Delivery: Select and evaluate temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize sediment transport to water bodies.
Meet Regulatory Requirements: Demonstrate compliance with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limits, including mass-based wasteload allocation for pollutants like nutrients, metals, and toxins.
Nutrient Management: Address nutrient-rich sediments caused by disturbed soils such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Implement Buffer Zone Alternatives: Use RUSLE2 Modeling to ensure erosion and sediment controls achieve equivalent sediment reduction to a 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer where maintaining such a buffer is infeasible.
File Notice of Termination (NOT): Provide computational proof and photographic evidence to verify conditions align with pre-construction and post-construction computations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Gain a comprehensive understanding of soil erosion processes and the development of predictive models like USLE, RUSLE, and RUSLE2

Learn to apply these models to assess erosion risks and make informed decisions in various environmental and construction scenarios

Deepen knowledge of soil characteristics and sediment dynamics to enhance land management practices and erosion control strategies

Acquire skills to install, configure, and use the official NRCS version of RUSLE2 software for optimal benefits in professional practices

The StormwaterONE program is excellent! Training is provided in multiple ways to ensure all learning styles are accommodated. The content is relevant and of high quality. Delivery of content is nothing short of superior irrespective of being self-paced training or delivered by one of the many experienced instructors. I have personally taken, and will recommend, training from StormwaterONE to become educated in the trade. You will become skilled in the requirements of Stormwater management.

ASSIGNMENT: RUSLE2 Modeling Practical Application

This supplemental activity is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. You will be presented with two scenarios that mimic common situations encountered by land developers and agricultural professionals. Each scenario requires you to apply the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE2) modeling to predict both pre-development and post-development soil loss. This exercise will enhance your understanding of how RUSLE2 modeling can be utilized to make informed decisions that promote sustainable land use and effective erosion control.
