Immediately after they have been <br />graded, roughen the bottom and sides of the planting areas <br />by raking and place tcpsoil (a minimum of 4 inches) to bring <br />the bottom elevation to final design grade. <br />Sod the pond bottom immeaiately after the topsoil has been <br />placed. Lay sod to a minimum of 1.o feet of vertical depth <br />above the permanent pool elevation. Lay the sod pieces with <br />their long axis perpendicular to the direction of flow in <br />the area and stagger the pieces to avoid a continuous <br />longitudinal seam in the bottom of the pond. <br />To plant the required wetland veqetation, punch holes in the <br />sod with a bar or stake approximately equivalent to the <br />diameter of the plants' root wads. Insert the plants in the <br />holes and tamp the sod and earth down around the plants. <br />Locate the plants in the bottom of the planting area only <br />and in a staggered pattern - not in a straight line. <br />ON TE; Topsoil shall, at a minimum, meet the standard for <br />Topsoil Type A, as specified in section 9-14.1(1) of the <br />1991 Standard Specifications for Road, Hridge, and Municipal <br />Constructio�� (WSDOT, APWA) with the following modification'- <br />1008 of the topsoil shall pass through a 1/2" sieve. <br />Topsoil Tvpe A- excerpts from WSDOT, APWA std 9-14.1(1) <br />with City modification. <br />Topsoil shall be free from materials toxic to plant growth, <br />noxious weeds, rhizomes, roots, subsoil, stones, and other <br />debris. 100$ of the topsoil shall pass through a 1/2 inch <br />sieve. <br />Topsoil Type A shall consist of a sandy clay loam, sandy <br />loam, loam, clay loam, silty clay loam, or silt loam soil. <br />The mix may not be more than 50� sand nor 20� cley.
