I <br /> 1 BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet Protection <br /> I Purpose To prevent coarse sediment from entering drainage systems prior to <br /> permanent stabilization of the disturbed area. <br /> I Conditions of Use Where storm drain inlets are to be made operational before permanent <br /> stabilization of the disturbed drainage area. Protection should be provided <br /> for all storm drain inlets downslope and within 500 feet of a disturbed or <br /> I construction area,unless the runoff that enters the catch basin will be <br /> conveyed to a sediment pond or trap. Inlet protection may be used <br /> anywhere to protect the drainage system. It is likely that the drainage <br /> Isystem will still require cleaning. <br /> Table 4.9 lists several options for inlet protection. All of the methods for <br /> I storm drain inlet protection are prone to plugging and require a high <br /> frequency of maintenance. Drainage areas should be limited to 1 acre or <br /> less. Emergency overflows may be required where stormwater ponding <br /> I would cause a hazard. If an emergency overflow is provided,additional <br /> end-of-pipe treatment may be required. <br /> Table 4.9 <br /> I Storm Drain Inlet Protetion <br /> Applicable for <br /> Type of Inlet Emergency Paved/Earthen <br /> 1 Protection Overflow Surfaces Conditions of Use <br /> Drop Inlet Protection <br /> Excavated drop inlet Yes, Earthen Applicable for heavy flows.
