Design and Size the pipe to convey the flow. The capacity for temporary drains shall be <br />Installation sufficient to handle the peak flow from a 10-year, 24-hour storm event, <br />Specifications assuming a Type IA rainfall distribution. Alternatively, use 1.6 times the <br />10-year, 1-hour flow indicated by an approved continuous runoff model. <br />Consult local drainage requirements for sizing permanent pipe slope drains. <br />• Use care in clearing vegetated slopes for installation. <br />• Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by installation. <br />• Use temporary drains on new cut or fill slopes. <br />• Use diversion dikes or swales to collect water at the top of the slope. <br />• Ensure that the entrance area is stable and large enough to direct flow <br />into the pipe. <br />• Piping of water through the berm at the entrance area is a common <br />failure mode. <br />• The entrance shall consist of a standard flared end section for culverts <br />12 inches and larger with a minimum 6-inch metal toe plate to prevent <br />runoff from undercutting the pipe inlet. The slope of the entrance shall <br />be at least 3 percent. Sand bags may also be used at pipe entrances as a <br />temporary measure. <br />• The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be <br />thoroughly compacted to prevent undercutting. <br />• The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain <br />and have watertight connecting bands. <br />• Slope drain sections shall be securely fastened together, fused or have <br />gasketed watertight fittings, and shall be securely anchored into the <br />soil. <br />• Thrust blocks should be installed anytime 90 degree bends are utilized. <br />Depending on size of pipe and flow, these can be constructed with <br />sand bags, straw bales staked in place, "t" posts and wire, or ecology <br />blocks. <br />• Pipe needs to be secured along its full length to prevent movement. <br />This can be done with steel "t" posts and wire. A post is installed on <br />each side of the pipe and the pipe is wired to them. This should be <br />done every 10-20 feet of pipe length or so, depending on the size of <br />the pipe and quantity of water to divert. <br />• Interceptor dikes shall be used to direct runoff into a slope drain. The <br />height of the dike shall be at least 1 foot higher at all points than the <br />top of the inlet pipe. <br />• The area below the outlet must be stabilized with a riprap apron (see <br />. BMP C209 Outlet Protection, for the appropriate outlet material). <br />Volume H — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-67 <br />
