• <br /> CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> • <br /> treated solely by a barrier,rather than by a sediment pond, is when the area draining to the barrier • <br /> is small. <br /> 411 <br /> • Brush barriers should only be installed on contours. <br /> 411 <br /> Design and Installation Specifications • <br /> 1. Height 2 feet(minimum)to 5 feet(maximum). • <br /> 2. Width 5 feet at base(minimum)to 15 feet(maximum). • <br /> 3. Filter fabric (geotextile) may be anchored over the brush berm to enhance the filtration ability of • <br /> the barrier. Ten-ounce burlap is an adequate alternative to filter fabric. <br /> 4. Chipped site vegetation,composted mulch,or wood-based mulch(hog fuel)can be used to • <br /> construct brush barriers. • <br /> 5. A 100 percent biodegradable installation can be constructed using 10-ounce burlap held in place • <br /> by wooden stakes. • <br /> Maintenance Standards • <br /> 1. There shall be no signs of erosion or concentrated runoff under or around the barrier. If <br /> concentrated flows are bypassing the barrier, it must be expanded or augmented by toed-in filter • <br /> fabric. <br /> • <br /> 2. The dimensions of the barrier must be maintained. <br /> • <br /> 3.3.14 BMP C233: Silt Fence • <br /> Purpose • <br /> Use of a silt fence reduces the transport of coarse sediment from a construction site by providing a • <br /> temporary physical barrier to sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of overland flow. See DCSS <br /> 411 <br /> Drawing#214. <br /> • <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> • <br /> • Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturbed areas. <br /> • Silt fence is not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor is it intended to treat substantial • <br /> amounts of overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be conveyed through the drainage <br /> system to a sediment pond. The only circumstance in which overland flow can be treated solely 11 <br /> by a silt fence,rather than by a sediment pond, is when the area draining to the fence is 1 acre or <br /> less and flow rates are less than 0.5 cubic feet per second. <br /> • Silt fences should not be constructed in streams or used in V-shaped ditches. They are not an • <br /> adequate method of silt control for anything deeper than sheet or overland flow. • <br /> Design and installation Specifications S <br /> 1. Drainage area of 1 acre or less or in combination with sediment basin in a larger site. <br /> 2. Maximum slope steepness(normal [perpendicular] to fence line) 1:1. . <br /> 3. Maximum sheet or overland flow path length to the fence of 100 feet. • <br /> 4. No flows greater than 0.5 cubic feet per second shall be directed toward a silt fence. • <br /> 5. The geotextile used shall meet the following standards. All geotextile properties listed below are • <br /> minimum average roll values (i.e.,the test result for any sampled roll in a lot shall meet or exceed <br /> the values shown in Table 3.10). • <br /> • <br /> Volume ll— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention • <br /> 3-54 <br /> • <br /> • <br />
