Understanding RUSLE Analysis
Presented by: Ken Kristoffersen, CDSEC, CISEC, CPESC, QSP/QSD/ToR | President - CAL-Storm Compliance, Inc.
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: On-Demand
The objective of this class is to review and gain an understanding of the RUSLE calculation (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, and its impact on sediment and erosion control in the construction industry. Although most designers understand the basic mechanics of RUSLE, I find that they often lack an understanding of the practical implications of the application results. Much of what is taught does an adequate job of describing the process and mechanics of populating RKLSCP, without actually grasping the potential impact on cost and effectiveness.
Learning Objectives:
- To review and understand the value as well as the limits of the RUSLE equation.
- To explore the impact of equation modification using alternative factors.
- To understand the strengths and weaknesses of RUSLE2 as an alternative approach.

CAL-Storm Compliance, Inc
I have been involved with storm water compliance, since shortly after the tragedy of 9/11, when I came out of the international field of engineering and technical training consultation. I founded Clear Water Services with partners, which built and deployed temporary BMPs. In 2010 I broke off to go solo, and started CAL-Storm Compliance to focus on the consulting side of storm water compliance under California's 2009 CGP, i.e., SWPPP Development, Inspections, and Training. Prior to that I spent several years working for a Japanese firm related to automotive engineering and more specifically special tool design, while completing my MBA. I completed an Associates in Mechanical Technology, and a BS in Adult Technical Education during a 4 year stint in the USAF. Originally from Canada, I went to sea at 16 on a Finnish merchant ship and ended up spending 5 years in Europe, a short return to Canada followed by attending Commercial Diving School in California (Air/Mixed Gas Certification) and then 2.5 years as a professional diver in the oil fields of SE Asia. I'm married, with a blended family of 6 adult kids, 9 grandkids, and live with my wife and a creamy golden retriever named Indy in Southern California.
