CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> 10. The terrace cross-section should be proportioned to fit the land slope. The ridge height should <br /> include a reasonable settlement factor. The ridge should have a minimum top width of 3 feet at <br /> the design height. The minimum cross-sectional area of the terrace channel should be 8 square <br /> feet for land slopes of 5 percent or less,7 square feet for slopes from 5 to 8 percent, and 6 square <br /> feet for slopes steeper than 8 percent. The terrace can be constructed wide enough to be <br /> maintained using a small cat. <br /> Maintenance Standards <br /> Maintenance should be performed as needed. Terraces should be inspected regularly; at least once a year, <br /> and after large storm events. <br /> 3.2.16 BMP C140: Dust Control <br /> Purpose <br /> Dust control prevents wind transport of dust from disturbed soil surfaces onto roadways, drainage ways, <br /> and surface waters. <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> For use in areas(including roadways)subject to surface and air movement of dust where onsite and <br /> offsite impacts to roadways, drainage ways, or surface waters are likely. <br /> Design and Installation Specifications <br /> 1. Vegetate or mulch areas that will not receive vehicle traffic. In areas where planting, mulching, <br /> or paving is impractical, apply gravel or landscaping rock. <br /> 2. Limit dust generation by clearing only those areas where immediate activity will take place, <br /> leaving the remaining area(s) in the original condition,if stable. Maintain the original ground <br /> cover as long as practical. <br /> 3. Construct natural or artificial windbreaks or windscreens. These may be designed as enclosures <br /> for small dust sources. <br /> 4. Sprinkle the site with water until surface is wet. Repeat as needed. To prevent carryout of mud <br /> onto street,refer to Stabilized Construction Entrance(BMP C 105). <br /> 5. Irrigation water can be used for dust control. Irrigation systems should be installed as a first step <br /> on sites where dust control is a concern. <br /> 6. Spray exposed soil areas with a dust palliative, following the manufacturer's instructions and <br /> cautions regarding handling and application. Oil based products are prohibited from use as a dust <br /> suppressant. The City may approve other dust palliatives such as calcium chloride or PAM. <br /> 7. PAM (BMP C 126) added to water at a rate of 0.5 pounds per 1,000 gallons of water per acre and <br /> applied from a water truck is more effective than water alone. This is due to the increased <br /> infiltration of water into the soil and reduced evaporation. In addition, small soil particles are <br /> bonded together and are not as easily transported by wind. Adding PAM may actually reduce the <br /> quantity of water needed for dust control. PAM has also shown to be relatively affordable and <br /> thus an extremely cost-effective dust control method. <br /> Techniques that can be used for unpaved roads and lots include: <br /> 1. Lower speed limits. High vehicle speed increases the amount of dust stirred up from unpaved <br /> roads and lots. <br /> Volume ll—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br /> 3-28 <br /> You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer(http://www.novapdf.com) <br />
