I <br /> Gravel and Wire Mesh Filter-A gravel barrier placed over the top of the inlet. This struc- <br /> ture does not provide an overflow. <br /> . Use a hardware cloth or comparable wire mesh with %-inch openings. ' <br /> • Use coarse aggregate. <br /> . Provide a height 1-foot or more, 18-inches wider than inlet on all sides. I <br /> . Place wire mesh over the drop inlet so that the wire extends a minimum of 1-foot <br /> beyond each side of the inlet structure. I <br /> . Overlap the strips if more than one strip of mesh is necessary. <br /> • Place coarse aggregate over the wire mesh. I <br /> • Provide at least a 12-inch depth of gravel over the entire inlet opening and extend <br /> at least 18-inches on all sides. I <br /> Catchbasin Filters— Use inserts designed by manufacturers for construction sites. The <br /> limited sediment storage capacity increases the amount of inspection and maintenance <br /> required,which may be daily for heavy sediment loads. To reduce maintenance require- <br /> ments combine a catchbasin filter with another type of inlet protection. This type of inlet <br /> protection provides flow bypass without overflow and therefore may be a better method I <br /> for inlets located along active rights-of-way. <br /> . Provides 5 cubic feet of storage. I <br /> • Requires dewatering provisions. <br /> . Provides a high-flow bypass that will not clog under normal use at a construction I <br /> site. <br /> • Insert the catchbasin filter in the catchbasin just below the grating. I <br /> Curb Inlet Protection with Wooden Weir— Barrier formed around a curb inlet with a <br /> wooden frame and gravel. <br /> . Use wire mesh with 1/2-inch openings. <br /> . Use extra strength filter cloth. I <br /> • Construct a frame. <br /> • Attach the wire and filter fabric to the frame. I <br /> . Pile coarse washed aggregate against wire/fabric. <br /> . Place weight on frame anchors. I <br /> Block and Gravel Curb Inlet Protection Barrier formed around a curb inlet with concrete <br /> blocks and gravel. See Figure 11-4.2.9 Block and Gravel Curb Inlet Protection (p.363). 1 <br /> I <br /> 2014 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume II- Chapter 4 -Page 361 1 <br />
