and staples. <br />o In the case of grass -lined ditches and swales, check dams and accumulated sediment <br />shall be removed when the grass has matured sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale <br />unless the slope of the swale is greater than 4 percent. The area beneath the check <br />dams shall be seeded and mulched immediately after dam removal. <br />Maintenance Standards <br />. Inspect TSDs for performance and sediment accumulation during and after each rainfall that <br />produces runoff. Remove sediment when it reaches one half the height of the TSD. <br />. Anticipate submergence and deposition above the TSD and erosion from high flows around <br />the edges of the TSD. Immediately repair any damage or any undercutting of the TSD. <br />BMP C209: Outlet Protection <br />Purpose <br />Outlet protection prevents scour at conveyance outlets and minimizes the potential for downstream <br />erosion by reducing the velocity of concentrated stormwater flows. <br />Conditions of Use <br />Use outlet protection at the outlets of all ponds, pipes, ditches, or other conveyances that discharge <br />to a natural or manmade drainage feature such as a stream, wetland, lake, or ditch. <br />Design and Installation Specifications <br />. The receiving channel at the outlet of a pipe shall be protected from erosion by lining a min- <br />imum of 6 feet downstream and extending up the channel sides a minimum of 1—foot above <br />the maximum tailwater elevation, or 1-foot above the crown, whichever is higher. For pipes lar- <br />ger than 18 inches in diameter, the outlet protection lining of the channel shall be four times <br />the diameter of the outlet pipe. <br />• Standard wingwalls, tapered outlets, and paved channels should also be considered when <br />appropriate for permanent culvert outlet protection (WSDOT, 2015). <br />BMP C122: Nets and Blankets or BMP C202: Riprap Channel Lining provide suitable options <br />for lining materials. <br />. With low flows, BMP C201: Grass -Lined Channels can be an effective alternative for lining <br />material. <br />. The following guidelines shall be used for outlet protection with riprap: <br />• If the discharge velocity at the outlet is less than 5 fps, use 2-inch to 8-inch riprap. Min- <br />imum thickness is 1-foot. <br />• For 5 to 10 fps discharge velocity at the outlet, use 24-inch to 48-inch riprap.
