• <br /> CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> Design and Installation Specifications <br /> See DCSS Drawing#201 for details. Note: the 100 foot minimum length of the entrance shall be reduced <br /> to the maximum practicable size when the size or configuration of the site does not allow the full length <br /> (100 feet). <br /> 1. A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent fine sediment from pumping up <br /> into the rock pad. The geotextile shall meet the following standards: <br /> a. Grab Tensile Strength(ASTM D4751): 200 psi minimum <br /> b. Grab Tensile Elongation(ASTM D4632): 30 percent maximum <br /> c. Mullen Burst Strength(ASTM D3786-80a): 400 psi minimum <br /> d. AOS (ASTM D4751): 20 to 45 (U.S. standard sieve size). <br /> 2. Hog fuel (wood-based mulch)may be substituted for or combined with quarry spalls in areas that <br /> will not be used for permanent roads. Hog fuel is generally less effective at stabilizing <br /> construction entrances and should be used only at sites where the amount of traffic is very <br /> limited. Hog fuel is not recommended for entrance stabilization in urban areas. The <br /> effectiveness of hog fuel is highly variable and it generally requires more maintenance than <br /> quarry spalls. The inspector may at any time require the use of quarry spalls if the hog fuel is not <br /> preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement or if the hog fuel is being carried onto <br /> pavement. Hog fuel is prohibited in permanent roadbeds because organics in the subgrade soils <br /> cause degradation of the subgrade support over time. <br /> 3. Fencing(see BMP C103)shall be installed as necessary to restrict traffic to the construction <br /> entrance. <br /> 4. Whenever possible,the entrance shall be constructed on a firm, compacted subgrade. This can <br /> substantially increase the effectiveness of the pad and reduce the need for maintenance. <br /> Maintenance Standards <br /> 1. Quarry spalls (or hog fuel) shall be added if the pad is no longer in accordance with the <br /> specifications. <br /> 2. If the entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto pavement, then alternative <br /> measures to keep the streets free of sediment shall be used. This may include an increase in the <br /> dimensions of the entrance or the installation of a wheel wash. <br /> 3. Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed by shoveling or street sweeping. <br /> The sediment collected by sweeping shall be removed or stabilized on site. The pavement shall <br /> not be cleaned by washing down the street, except when sweeping is ineffective and there is a <br /> threat to public safety. If it is necessary to wash the streets, the construction of a small sump shall <br /> be considered. The sediment would then be washed into the sump where it can be controlled. <br /> 4. Any quarry spalls that are loosened from the pad,which end up on the roadway shall be removed <br /> immediately. <br /> 5. If vehicles are entering or exiting the site at points other than the construction entrance(s), fencing <br /> (see BMP C103) shall be installed to control traffic. <br /> 6. Upon project completion and site stabilization, all construction accesses intended as permanent <br /> access for maintenance shall be permanently stabilized. <br /> Volume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br /> 3-5 <br /> You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer(http://www.novapdf.com) <br />
