• <br /> • <br /> • CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> • <br /> • 5. Stone for riprap shall consist of field stone or quarry stone of approximately rectangular shape. <br /> The stone shall be hard and angular and of such quality that it will not disintegrate on exposure to <br /> • water or weathering and it shall be suitable in all respects for the purpose intended. <br /> • 6. Rubble concrete may be used provided it has a density of at least 150 pounds per cubic foot,and <br /> • otherwise meets the requirement of this standard and specification. <br /> • 7. A lining of engineering filter fabric(geotextile) shall be placed between the riprap and the <br /> • underlying soil surface to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. The geotextile <br /> should be keyed in at the top of the bank. <br /> • 8. Filter fabric shall not be used on slopes greater than 1.5:1 as slippage may occur. It should be <br /> • used in conjunction with a layer of coarse aggregate (granular filter blanket)when the riprap to be <br /> • placed is 12 inches and larger. <br /> • 3.3.4 BMP C203: Water Bars <br /> • Purpose <br /> • A small ditch or ridge of material is constructed diagonally across a road or right-of-way to divert <br /> • stormwater runoff from the road surface,wheel tracks,or a shallow road ditch. <br /> • Conditions of Use <br /> • Clearing right-of-way and construction of access for power lines,pipelines, and other similar installations <br /> • often require long narrow right-of-ways over sloping terrain. Disturbance and compaction promotes gully <br /> • formation in these cleared strips by increasing the volume and velocity of runoff. Gully formation may be <br /> especially severe in tire tracks and ruts. To prevent gullying, runoff can often be diverted across the <br /> • width of the right-of-way to undisturbed areas by using small predesigned diversions. <br /> • Special consideration shall be given to each individual outlet area,as well as to the cumulative effect of <br /> • added diversions. Use gravel to stabilize the diversion where significant vehicular traffic is anticipated. <br /> • Design and Installation Specifications <br /> • 1. Height: 8-inch minimum measured from the channel bottom to the ridge top. <br /> • 2. Side slope of channel: 2:1 maximum; 3:1 or flatter when vehicles will cross. <br /> • 3. Base width of ridge: 6-inch minimum. <br /> • 4. Locate them to use natural drainage systems and to discharge into well vegetated stable areas. <br /> • 5. Grade of water bar and angle: Select angle that results in ditch slope less than 2 percent. <br /> • 6. Install as soon as the clearing and grading is complete. Reconstruct when construction is <br /> • complete on a section when utilities are being installed. <br /> • 7. Compact the ridge when installed. Stabilize, seed and mulch the portions that are not subject to <br /> • traffic. Gravel the areas crossed by vehicles. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • Volume ll— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br /> 3-40 <br /> • <br /> • <br />
