Table II-3.2: Stabilized Construction Access <br />Geotextile Standards (continued) <br />Geotextile Property <br />Required Value <br />Grab Tensile Elongation (ASTM D4632) <br />30% max. <br />Mullen Burst Strength (ASTM D3786-80a) <br />400 psi min. <br />AOS (ASTM D4751) <br />20-45 (U.S. standard sieve size) <br />Consider early installation of the first lift of asphalt in areas that will be paved; this can be used <br />as a stabilized access. Also consider the installation of excess concrete as a stabilized access. <br />During large concrete pours, excess concrete is often available for this purpose. <br />Fencing (see BMP C103: High -Visibility Fence) shall be installed as necessary to restrict <br />traffic to the construction access. <br />Whenever possible, the access shall be constructed on a firm, compacted subgrade. This can <br />substantially increase the effectiveness of the pad and reduce the need for maintenance. <br />Construction accesses should avoid crossing existing sidewalks and back of walk drains if at <br />all possible. If a construction access must cross a sidewalk or back of walk drain, the full length <br />of the sidewalk and back of walk drain must be covered and protected from sediment leaving <br />the site. <br />Alternative Material Specification <br />WSDOT has raised safety concerns about the Quarry Spall rock specified above. WSDOT observes <br />that the 4-inch to 8-inch rock sizes can become trapped between Dually truck tires, and then <br />released off -site at highway speeds. WSDOT has chosen to use a modified specification for the rock <br />while continuously verifying that the Stabilized Construction Access remains effective. To remain <br />effective, the BMP must prevent sediment from migrating off site. To date, there has been no per- <br />formance testing to verify operation of this new specification. Jurisdictions may use the alternative <br />specification, but must perform increased off -site inspection if they use, or allow others to use, it. <br />Stabilized Construction Accesses may use material that meets the requirements of WSDOT's Stand- <br />ard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction Section 9-03.9(1) (WSDOT, 2016) <br />for ballast except for the following special requirements. <br />The grading and quality requirements are listed in Table 11-3.3: Stabilized Construction Access <br />Alternative Material Requirements. <br />Table II-3.3: Stabilized <br />Construction Access <br />Alternative Material <br />Requirements <br />Sieve Size Percent Passing <br />2'/2" 99-100 <br />2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br />Volume 11 - Chapter 3 - Page 276 <br />
