Maintenance Standards <br />- Repair any damage immediately. <br />. Intercept and convey all evident concentrated flows uphill of the silt fence to a sed- <br />iment pond. <br />. Check the uphill side of the fence for signs of the fence clogging and acting as a <br />barrier to flow and then causing channelization of flows parallel to the fence. If this <br />occurs, replace the fence or remove the trapped sediment. <br />. Remove sediment deposits when the deposit reaches approximately one-third the <br />height of the silt fence, or install a second silt fence. <br />. Replace filter fabric that has deteriorated due to ultraviolet breakdown. <br />BMP C234: Vegetated Strip <br />Purpose <br />Vegetated strips reduce the transport of coarse sediment from.a construction site by <br />providing a temporary physical barrier to sediment and reducing the runoff velocities of <br />overland flow. <br />Conditions of Use <br />. Vegetated strips may be used downslope of all disturbed areas. <br />Vegetated strips are not intended to treat concentrated flows, nor are they intended <br />to treat substantial amounts of overland flow. Any concentrated flows must be con- <br />veyed through the drainage system to a sediment pond. The only circumstance in <br />which overland flow can be treated solely by a strip, rather than by a sediment <br />pond, is when the following criteria are met (see Table II-4.2.4 Contributing Drain- <br />age Area for Vegetated Strips (p.375)): <br />Table 11-4.2.4 Contributing Drainage Area for Vegetated Strips <br />Average Contributing <br />Area Slope <br />Average Contributing Area <br />Percent Slope <br />Max Contributing area <br />Flowpath Length <br />1.5H : 1 V or flatter <br />67% or flatter <br />100 feet <br />2H :1 V or flatter <br />50% or flatter <br />115 feet <br />4H : 1 V or flatter <br />25% or flatter <br />150 feet <br />6H : 1 V or flatter <br />16.7% or flatter <br />200 feet <br />1 OH : 1 V or flatter <br />10% or flatter <br />250 feet <br />2014 Stormwater Management Manual for Westem Washington <br />Volume 11 - Chapter 4 - Page 375 <br />
