A simulation model was applied to a small strip mined and reclaimed watershed in central Pennsylvania to evaluate the effectiveness of a holding pond and runoff diversions in controlling erosion and sediment yield. The model predicted the site sediment yield and suggested an optimum holding pond location for different control measure and pond configurations and a standard design storm. Recommendations for reducing the total sediment yield and management of the holding pond are given. The results reflect well the actual conditions observed at the site.
