• Place coarse aggregate over the wire mesh. <br />• Provide at least a 12-inch depth of gravel over the entire inlet opening <br />and extend at least 18-inches on all sides. <br />Catchbasin Filters — Use inserts designed by manufacturers for <br />construction sites. The limited sediment storage capacity increases the <br />amount of inspection and maintenance required, which may be daily for <br />heavy sediment loads. To reduce maintenance requirements combine a <br />catchbasin filter with another type of inlet protection. This type of inlet <br />protection provides flow bypass without overflow and therefore may be a <br />better method for inlets located along active rights -of -way. <br />• Provides 5 cubic feet of storage. <br />• Requires dewatering provisions. <br />• Provides a high -flow bypass that will not clog under normal use at a <br />construction site. <br />• Insert the catchbasin filter in the catchbasin just below the grating. <br />Curb Inlet Protection with Wooden Weir — Barrier formed around a curb <br />inlet with a wooden frame and gravel. <br />• Use wire mesh with 1/2-inch openings. <br />• Use extra strength filter cloth. <br />• Construct a frame. • <br />• Attach the wire and filter fabric to the frame. <br />• Pile coarse washed aggregate against wire/fabric. <br />• Place weight on frame anchors. <br />Block and Gravel Curb Inlet Protection — Barrier formed around a curb <br />inlet with concrete blocks and gravel. See Figure 4.2.9. <br />• Use wire mesh with 1/2-inch openings. <br />• Place two concrete blocks on their sides abutting the curb at either side <br />of the inlet opening. These are spacer blocks. <br />• Place a 2x4 stud through the outer holes of each spacer block to align <br />the front blocks. <br />• Place blocks on their sides across the front of the inlet and abutting the <br />spacer blocks. <br />• Place wire mesh over the outside vertical face. <br />• Pile coarse aggregate against the wire to the top of the barrier. <br />Curb and Gutter Sediment Barrier — Sandbag or rock berm (riprap and <br />aggregate) 3 feet high and 3 feet wide in a horseshoe shape. See Figure <br />4.2.10. <br />Volume II — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-83 <br />
