BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Entrance / Exit <br /> Purpose <br /> Stabilized Construction entrances are established to reduce the amount of sediment <br /> transported onto paved roads by vehicles or equipment. This is done by constructing a <br /> stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances and exits for construction sites. <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> Construction entrances shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be entering or leaving a <br /> construction site if paved roads or other paved areas are within 1,000 feet of the site. <br /> For residential construction provide stabilized construction entrances for each <br /> residence, rather than only at the main subdivision entrance. Stabilized surfaces shall <br /> be of sufficient length/width to provide vehicle access/parking, based on lot <br /> size/configuration. <br /> On large commercial, highway, and road projects, the designer should include enough <br /> extra materials in the contract to allow for additional stabilized entrances not shown in <br /> the initial Construction SWPPP. It is difficult to determine exactly where access to these <br /> projects will take place;additional materials will enable the contractor to install them <br /> where needed. <br /> Design and Installation Specifications <br /> See Figure 11-4.1.1 Stabilized Construction Entrance (p.273) for details. Note: the 100' <br /> minimum length of the entrance shall be reduced to the maximum practicable size when <br /> the size or configuration of the site does not allow the full length (100'). <br /> Construct stabilized construction entrances with a 12-inch thick pad of 4-inch to 8-inch <br /> quarry spalls, a 4-inch course of asphalt treated base (ATB), or use existing pavement. <br /> Do not use crushed concrete, cement, or calcium chloride for construction entrance <br /> stabilization because these products raise pH levels in stormwater and concrete <br /> discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. <br /> A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent fine sediment from <br /> pumping up into the rock pad. The geotextile shall meet the following standards: <br /> Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4751) 200 psi min. <br /> Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max. <br /> Mullen Burst Strength (ASTM D3786-80a) 400 psi min. <br /> AOS (ASTM D4751) 20-45 (U.S. standard sieve size) <br /> • Consider early installation of the first lift of asphalt in areas that will paved; this <br /> can be used as a stabilized entrance. Also consider the installation of excess <br /> concrete as a stabilized entrance. During large concrete pours, excess concrete <br /> is often available for this purpose. <br /> • Fencing (see BMP C103: High Visibility Fence (p.269)) shall be installed as <br /> necessary to restrict traffic to the construction entrance. <br /> Page 131 <br />
