A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent fine sediment from <br /> pumping up into the rock pad. The geotextile shall meet the following standards: <br /> Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4751) 200 psi min. <br /> Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) 30% max. <br /> Mullen Burst Strength (ASTM D3786-80a)400 psi mina <br /> AOS (ASTM D4751) 20-45 (U.S. standard sieve size) <br /> . Consider early installation of the first lift of asphalt in areas that will paved; this can <br /> be used as a stabilized entrance,Also consider the installation of excess concrete <br /> as a stabilized entrance. During large concrete pours, excess concrete is often <br /> available for this purpose. <br /> . Fencing (see BMP C103: High Visibility Fence (p.269))shall be installed as neces- <br /> sary to restrict traffic to the construction entrance. <br /> . Whenever possible, the entrance shall be constructed on a firm, compacted sub- <br /> , grade. This can substantially increase the effectiveness of the pad and reduce the <br /> need for maintenance. <br /> 1 . Construction entrances should avoid crossing existing sidewalks and back of walk <br /> drains if at all possible. If a construction entrance must cross a sidewalk or back of <br /> walk drain, the full length of the sidewalk and back of walk drain must be covered <br /> 1 and protected from sediment leaving the site. <br /> Maintenance Standards <br /> Quarry spalls shall be added if the pad is no longer in accordance with the spe- <br /> cifications. <br /> If the entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement, then <br /> alternative measures to keep the streets free of sediment shall be used. This may <br /> I include replacement/cleaning of the existing quarry spalls, street sweeping, an <br /> increase in the dimensions of the entrance, or the installation of a wheel wash. <br /> . Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed by shoveling or <br /> street sweeping. The sediment collected by sweeping shall be removed or sta- <br /> bilized on site. The pavement shall not be cleaned by washing down the street, <br /> except when high efficiency sweeping is ineffective and there is a threat to public <br /> safety. If it is necessary to wash the streets, the construction of a small sump to con- <br /> tain the wash water shall be considered. The sediment would then be washed into <br /> the sump where it can be controlled. <br /> . Perform street sweeping by hand or with a high efficiency sweeper. Do not use a <br /> non-high efficiency mechanical sweeper because this creates dust and throws <br /> soils into storm systems or conveyance ditches. <br /> 2014 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br /> Volume 11- Chapter 4 -Page 271 <br />
