• Horizontal Spacing of Interceptor Dikes: <br />Average Slope Slope Percent Flowpath Length <br />20H:1V or less 3-5% 300 feet <br />(10 to 20)H:1V 5-10% 200 feet <br />(4 to 10)H:1V 10-25% 100 feet <br />(2 to 4)H:1V 25-50% 50 feet <br />Stabilization depends on velocity and reach <br />Slopes <5% Seed and mulch applied within 5 days of dike <br />construction (see BMP C 1.21, Mulching). <br />Slopes 5 - 40% Dependent on runoff velocities and dike materials. <br />Stabilization should be done immediately using either sod <br />or riprap or other measures to avoid erosion. <br />• The upslope side of the dike shall provide positive drainage to the dike <br />outlet. No erosion shall occur at the outlet. Provide energy dissipation <br />measures as necessary. Sediment -laden runoff must be released <br />through a sediment trapping facility. <br />• Minimize construction traffic over temporary dikes. Use temporary <br />cross culverts for channel crossing. <br />Interceptor swales shall meet the following criteria: <br />• Bottom Width 2 feet minimum; the cross-section bottom shall be <br />level. <br />• <br />Depth 1-foot minimum. <br />Side Slope 2H:1 V or flatter. <br />Grade Maximum 5 percent, with positive drainage to a <br />suitable outlet (such as a sediment pond). <br />Stabilization Seed as per BMP C120, Temporary and <br />Permanent Seeding, or BMP C202, Channel <br />Lining, 12 inches thick riprap pressed into the bank <br />and extending at least 8 inches vertical from the <br />bottom. <br />• Inspect diversion dikes and interceptor swales once a week and after <br />every rainfall. Immediately remove sediment from the flow area. <br />• Damage caused by construction traffic or other activity must be <br />repaired before the end of each working day. <br />Check outlets and make timely repairs as needed to avoid gully formation. <br />When the area below the temporary diversion dike is permanently <br />stabilized, remove the dike and fill and stabilize the channel to blend with <br />the natural surface. <br />Volume II — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-58 <br />
