No erosion shall occur at the outlet. Provide energy dissipation <br />measures as necessary. Sediment-laden runoff must be released <br />through a sediment trapping facility. <br />• Minimize construction traffic over temporary dikes. Use temporary <br />cross culverts for channel crossing. <br />Interceptor swales shall meet the following criteria: <br />Bottom Width 2 feet minimum; the bottom shall be level. <br />Depth l -foot minimum. <br />Side Slope 2:1 or flatter. <br />Grade Maximum 5 percent, with positive drainage to a <br />suitable outlet (such as a sediment pond). <br />Stabilization Seed as per BMP CI20, Temporary and Permanent <br />Seedin.g, or BMP C202, Channel LifZifzg, l 2 inches <br />thick of riprap pressed into the bank and extending <br />at least 8 inches vertical from the bottom. <br />• Inspect diversion dikes and interceptor swales once a week and after <br />eveiy rainfall. Immediately remove sediment from the flow area. <br />• Damage caused by construction traffic or other activity must be <br />repaired before the end of each working day. <br />Check outlets and make timely repairs as needed to avoid gully formation. When <br />the area below the temporary diversion dike is permanently stabilized, remove the <br />dike and fill and stabilize the channel to blend with the natural surface. <br />4-58 Volume ll — Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention February 2005 <br />
