Summary: August 2015 guidance (Culebra, P.R. context) on dirt road construction, maintenance, and retrofitting to reduce sediment to nearshore waters. States bare roads and soils can transport sediment at 10–1000× natural hillslope rates (cites Ramos-Scharrón and MacDonald, 2007). Organized into diversion practices, flow/erosion reduction, example grading/ditching scenarios, and general maintenance—explicitly not a full engineering manual; points to FAO and other references for heavier design.
