CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br />Maintenance Standards <br />1. Inspect the area frequently to make sure flagging remains in place and the area remains <br />undisturbed. <br />3.2.3 BMP C103: High Visibility Plastic Fence <br />Purpose <br />Fencing is intended to: (1) restrict clearing to approved limits; (2) prevent disturbance of sensitive areas, <br />their buffers, and other areas required to be left undisturbed; (3) limit construction traffic to designated <br />construction entrances or roads; and (4) protect areas where marking with survey tape may not provide <br />adequate protection. <br />Conditions of Use <br />To establish clearing limits plastic fence may be used: <br />• At the boundary of sensitive areas, their buffers, and other areas required to be left uncleared <br />• As necessary to control vehicle access to and on the site. <br />Design and Installation Specifications <br />High visibility plastic fence shall be composed of a high -density polyethylene material and shall <br />be at least 4 feet in height. Posts for the fencing shall be steel or wood and placed every 6 feet on <br />center (maximum) or as needed to ensure rigidity. The fencing shall be fastened to the post every <br />6 inches with a polyethylene tie. On long continuous lengths of fencing, a tension wire or rope <br />shall be used as a top stringer to prevent sagging between posts. The fence color shall be high <br />visibility orange. The fence tensile strength shall be 360 pounds/feet using the American Society <br />for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D4595 testing method. <br />2. Fences shall not be wired or stapled to trees. <br />Maintenance Standards <br />1. If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or replaced immediately <br />and visibility restored. <br />3.2.4 BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Entrance <br />Purpose <br />Construction entrances are stabilized to reduce the amount of sediment transported onto paved roads by <br />vehicles or equipment by constructing a stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances to construction sites. <br />Conditions of Use <br />Construction entrances shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be leaving a construction site and traveling <br />on paved roads or other paved areas within 1,000 feet of the site. <br />On large commercial, highway, and road projects, the designer should include enough extra materials in <br />the contract to allow for additional stabilized entrances not shown in the initial C-SWPPP. It is difficult <br />to determine exactly where access to these projects will take place; additional materials will enable the <br />contractor to install them where needed. <br />Volume 11— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br />3-4 <br />
