during the hot summer months. • During the wet season on slopes steeper than 3H:1 V with more than 10 feet of vertical relief. Mulch may be applied at any time of the year and must be refreshed periodically. For seeded areas mulch may be made up of 100 percent: cottonseed meal; fibers made of wood, recycled cellulose, hemp, kenaf; compost; or blends of these. Tackifier shall be plant -based, such as guar or alpha plantago, or chemical -based such as polyacrylamide or polymers. Any mulch or tackifier product used shall be installed per manufacturer's instructions. Generally, mulches come in 40-50 pound bags. Seed and fertilizer are added at time of application. Design and For mulch materials, application rates, and specifications, see Table 4.1.8. Installation Always use a 2-inch minimum mulch thickness; increase the thickness Specifications until the ground is 95% covered (i.e. not visible under the mulch layer). Note: Thickness may be increased for disturbed areas in or near sensitive areas or other areas highly susceptible to erosion. Mulch used within the ordinary high-water mark of surface waters should be selected to minimize potential flotation of organic matter. Composted organic materials have higher specific gravities (densities) than straw, wood, or chipped material. Consult Hydraulic Permit Authority (HPA) for mulch mixes if applicable. Maintenance . The thickness of the cover must be maintained. Standards • Any areas that experience erosion shall be remulched and/or protected with a net or blanket. If the erosion problem is drainage related, then the problem shall be fixed and the eroded area remulched. • Volume II - Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 4-20
