. The runoff shall not re -concentrate on site after release from the level spreader unless it is <br />intercepted by another downstream measure. <br />. The grade of the channel for the last 20 feet of the dike or interceptor entering the level <br />spreader shall be less than or equal to 1 percent. The grade of the level spreader shall be 0 <br />percent to ensure uniform spreading of runoff. <br />. A 6-inch high gravel berm placed across the level lip shall consist of washed crushed rock, 2- <br />to 4-inch or 3/4-inch to 1'/:-inch size. <br />. The spreader length shall be determined by calculating the peak volumetric flow rate using a <br />10-minute time step from a Type 1 A,10-year, 24-hour design storm. The length of the <br />spreader shall be a minimum of 15 feet for 0.1 cfs and shall increase by 10 feet for each 0.1 cfs <br />thereafter to a maximum of 0.5 cls per spreader. Use multiple spreaders for higher flows. <br />. The width of the approach to the spreader should be at least 6 feet. <br />. The depth of the spreader as measured from the lip should be at least 6 inches and it should <br />be uniform across the entire length. <br />. Level spreaders shall be set back from the property line unless there is an easement for flow. <br />. Materials that can be used for level spreaders include sand bags, lumber, logs, concrete, pipe, <br />and capped perforated pipe. To function properly, the material needs to be installed level and <br />on contour. <br />See Figure II-3.14: Cross Section of Level Spreader and Figure 11-3.15: Detail of Level <br />Spreader. <br />Maintenance Standards <br />The level spreader should be inspected during and after runoff events to ensure that it is functioning <br />correctly. <br />. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on the level spreader, and should <br />prevent construction traffic from crossing over the level spreader. <br />. If the level spreader is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be immediately repaired. <br />2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br />Volume 11 - Chapter 3 - Page 348 <br />
