Maintenance Standards <br />If the fence has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or replaced immediately and <br />visibility restored. <br />BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Access <br />Purpose <br />Stabilized construction accesses are established to reduce the amount of sediment transported onto <br />paved roads outside the project site by vehicles or equipment. This is done by constructing a sta- <br />bilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances and exits for project sites. <br />Conditions of Use <br />Construction accesses shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be entering or leaving a construction <br />site if paved roads or other paved areas are within 1,000 feet of the site. <br />For residential subdivision construction sites, provide a stabilized construction access for each res- <br />idence, rather than only at the main subdivision entrance. Stabilized surfaces shall be of sufficient <br />length/width to provide vehicle access/parking, based on lot size and configuration. <br />On large commercial, highway, and road projects, the designer should include enough extra mater- <br />ials in the contract to allow for additional stabilized accesses not shown in the initial Construction <br />SWPPP. It is difficult to determine exactly where access to these projects will take place; additional <br />materials will enable the contractor to install them where needed. <br />Design and Installation Specifications <br />See Figure 11-3.1: Stabilized Construction Access for details. Note: the 1 00'minimum length of the <br />access shall be reduced to the maximum practicable size when the size or configuration of the site <br />does not allow the full length (100'). <br />Construct stabilized construction accesses with a 12-inch thick pad of 4-inch to 8-inch quarry spalls, <br />a 4-inch course of asphalt treated base (ATB), or use existing pavement. Do not use crushed con- <br />crete, cement, or calcium chloride for construction access stabilization because these products raise <br />pH levels in stormwater and concrete discharge to waters of the State is prohibited. <br />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 standards listed in Table 11-3.2: Stabilized Con- <br />struction Access Geotextile Standards. <br />Table II-3.2: Stabilized Construction Access <br />Geotextile Standards <br />Geotextile Property Required Value <br />Grab Tensile Strength (ASTM D4751) 200 psi min. <br />2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br />Volume 11 - Chapter 3 - Page 275 <br />
