## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing sediment control measures. It allows users to determine physical pond dimensions using `calculate_pond_dimensions`, predict sediment capture with `estimate_trap_efficiency`, and calculate necessary settling durations via `calculate_settling_time`. It also assists in operational planning by generating schedules through `generate_maintenance_schedule`.

## Tools

### estimate_trap_efficiency
Predicts how much sediment the design will successfully capture

### calculate_pond_dimensions
Determines the physical size requirements for a sediment pond

### calculate_settling_time
Determines the time required for particles to settle out of the water column

### generate_maintenance_schedule
Provides a plan for when to clean out the sediment to maintain effectiveness

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the required pond dimensions for a 5000 square meter disturbed area with clay soil under Standard_US_EPA?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required pond dimensions are a volume of 1250 cubic meters, a surface area of 2500 square meters, and a depth of 0.5 meters, with a recommended length-to-width ratio of 3:1.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much sediment will be captured if I have a 2500 square meter pond with a depth of 0.5 meters and a soil erosion factor of 0.4?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated trap efficiency is 85%, which results in an estimated sediment capture of 425 kilograms.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take for fine particles to settle in a pond that is 1 meter deep?
```

**Response:** 
```
The settling duration for fine particles in a 1 meter deep pond is 12 hours.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the size of a sediment pond?**
You can use the `calculate_pond_dimensions` tool by providing the disturbed area, soil type, and the regulatory standard you need to meet.

**Can I account for chemical flocculants in my design?**
Yes, both `estimate_trap_efficiency` and `calculate_settling_time` allow you to specify if a flocculant is being used to improve performance.

**How often should I clean out the sediment pond?**
The `generate_maintenance_schedule` tool calculates the cleaning interval based on your pond volume and the estimated sediment inflow rate.
