Which of the following is not considered when removing temporary sediment basins?

Keeping the overflow or spillway intact
Removing accumulated sediment
Ensuring proper grading
Restoring vegetation

The correct answer is: Keeping the overflow or spillway intact

The correct choice highlights that keeping the overflow or spillway intact is not considered a primary factor when removing temporary sediment basins. When a temporary sediment basin is being decommissioned, the focus typically shifts to the removal of accumulated sediment, ensuring that proper grading is in place to prevent future erosion and promoting the restoration of vegetation to stabilize the soil. While the integrity of the spillway is important during the operational phase of the sediment basin to control overflow and manage sediment, it is not a key consideration during the removal process itself. The main goal at this stage is to restore the site effectively and manage the sediment that has accumulated over time, ensuring that the site is ready for future use or functions as intended after the basin's temporary role has ended.
