condition. <br />OR <br />o Continuous Simulation Method: The 10-year peak flow rate, as determined by an approved <br />continuous runoff model with a 15-minute time step for the worst -case land cover condition. <br />Worst -case land cover conditions (i.e., producing the most runoff) should be used for analysis (in <br />most cases, this would be the land cover conditions just prior to final landscaping). <br />Consult local drainage requirements for sizing permanent pipe slope drains. <br />• Use care in clearing vegetated slopes for installation. <br />• Re-establish cover immediately on areas disturbed by installation. <br />• Use temporary drains on new cut or fill slopes. <br />• Use BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale to collect water at the top of the slope. <br />• Ensure that the entrance area is stable and large enough to direct flow into the pipe. <br />• Piping of water through the berm at the entrance area is a common failure mode. <br />• The entrance shall consist of a standard flared end section for culverts 12 inches and larger <br />with a minimum 6-inch metal toe plate to prevent runoff from undercutting the pipe inlet. The <br />slope of the entrance shall be at least 3 percent. Sand bags may also be used at pipe <br />entrances as a temporary measure. <br />• The soil around and under the pipe and entrance section shall be thoroughly compacted to pre- <br />vent undercutting. <br />• The flared inlet section shall be securely connected to the slope drain and have watertight con- <br />necting bands. <br />• Slope drain sections shall be securely fastened together, fused or have gasketed watertight fit- <br />tings, and shall be securely anchored into the soil. <br />• Thrust blocks should be installed anytime 90 degree bends are utilized. Depending on size of <br />pipe and flow, these can be constructed with sand bags, straw bales staked in place, "t" posts <br />and wire, or ecology blocks. <br />• Pipe needs to be secured along its full length to prevent movement. This can be done with <br />steel "t" posts and wire. Install a post on each side of the pipe and wire the pipe to them. This <br />should be done every 10-20 feet of pipe length or so, depending on the size of the pipe and <br />quantity of water to divert. <br />• BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale shall be used to direct runoff into a pipe slope drain. <br />The height of the dike shall be at least 1 foot higher at all points than the top of the inlet pipe. <br />. The area below the outlet must be stabilized. See BMP C209: Outlet Protection. <br />If the pipe slope drain is conveying sediment -laden water, direct all flows into a sediment trap- <br />2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br />Volume 11 - Chapter 3 - Page 342 <br />
