CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> ID <br /> 5. Used to divert small seasonal streams away from construction. They have been used successfully <br /> on culvert replacement and extension jobs. Large flex pipe can be used on larger streams during <br /> culvert removal, repair, or replacement. <br /> 6. Connected to existing down spouts and roof drains and used to divert water away from work <br /> • areas during building renovation, demolition,and construction projects. <br /> There are now several commercially available collectors that are attached to the pipe inlet and help <br /> prevent erosion at the inlet. <br /> • Design and Installation Specifications <br /> • Size the pipe to convey the flow. The capacity for temporary drains shall be sufficient to handle a peak <br /> flow equal to 1.6 times the 10-year, 1-hour time step flow indicated by an approved continuous runoff <br /> • model. If a 15-minute(or less)time step is used,no correction factor is required. <br /> 411 1. Use care in clearing vegetated slopes for installation. <br /> • 2. Reestablish cover immediately on areas disturbed by installation. <br /> 3. Use temporary drains on new cut or fill slopes. <br /> • 4. Use diversion dikes or swales to collect water at the top of the slope. <br /> 5. Ensure that the entrance area is stable and large enough to direct flow into the pipe. <br /> 6. Dike material shall be compacted to 90 percent modified proctor to prevent piping of water <br /> through the berm. The entrance area is a common failure location. <br /> • 7. The entrance shall consist of a standard flared end section for culverts 12 inches and larger with a <br /> • minimum 6-inch metal toe plate to prevent runoff from undercutting the pipe inlet. The slope of <br /> • the entrance shall be at least 3 percent. Sand bags may also be used at pipe entrances as a <br /> temporary measure. <br /> 8. The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be thoroughly compacted to prevent <br /> • undercutting. <br /> 9. The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain and have watertight <br /> • connecting bands. <br /> • 10. Slope drain sections shall be securely fastened together, fused or have gasketed watertight <br /> fittings,and shall be securely anchored into the soil. <br /> • 11. Thrust blocks should be installed anytime 90 degree bends are utilized. Depending on size of <br /> pipe and flow,these can be constructed with sand bags, straw bales staked in place,T-posts and <br /> • wire,or ecology blocks. <br /> ID 12. Pipe needs to be secured along its full length to prevent movement. This can be done with steel <br /> • T-posts and wire. A post is installed on each side of the pipe and the pipe is wired to them. This <br /> • should be done every 10 to 20 feet of pipe length or so,depending on the size of the pipe and <br /> quantity of water to be diverted. <br /> 13. Interceptor dikes shall be used to direct runoff into a slope drain. The height of the dike shall be <br /> • at least 1 foot higher at all points than the top of the inlet pipe. <br /> 14. The area below the outlet must be stabilized with a riprap apron(see BMP C209 Outlet <br /> • Protection, for the appropriate outlet material). <br /> • 15. If the pipe slope drain is conveying sediment-laden water,direct all flows into the sediment <br /> • trapping facility. <br /> • Volume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br /> 3-42 <br />
