    • Sediment volume accumulated at unpaved dirt road stabilization projects on Culebra island, Puerto Rico from 2023-09-05 to 2024-05-28

    Metadata Updated: April 15, 2025

    This record provides estimate data of sediment accumulation at a number of dirt road stabilization projects where Best Management Practices (i.e. sediment retention ponds, check dams, and cross drains) were implemented to reduce terrigenous runoff and other land-based sources of pollution impacts to the nearshore marine habitats on Culebra Island, Puerto Rico. BMPs were strategically set up in priority watersheds to slow and divert runoff, prevent road scouring, and capture sediments to promote infiltration and reduce total pollutant loads. Data presented herein include the total sediment volume removed from the installed BMPs per road sediment, representing the total sediment volume accumulated and retained in-situ.
