6. Equivalent methods of protection for the geomembrane liner will be considered. Equivalency <br />will be judged on the basis of the ability of the alternate method to protect the geomembrane <br />from puncture, tearing, and abrasion. <br />7. The manufacturer's recommendations for bedding and installation of the geomembrane liner <br />must be included on the plans and followed by the installer. <br />8. Geomembrane liners must be covered with 12 inches of top dressing on the bottom and sides of <br />the detention pond. Top dressing shall consist of 6 inches of crushed rock covered with 6 inches <br />of native soil. The rock layer is to mark the location of the liner for future maintenance <br />operations. As an alternative to crushed rock, 12 inches of native soil may be used if orange <br />plastic "safety fencing" or another highly visible, continuous marker is embedded 6 inches above <br />the membrane. If possible, the pond liner should be of a contrasting color so that maintenance <br />workers are aware of any areas where a liner may have become exposed when maintaining the <br />facility. <br />9. Geomembrane liners are generally not allowed on slopes steeper than 5H:1V to prevent the top <br />dressing material from slipping. Textured liners may be used on slopes up to 3H:1V provided <br />the geotechnical engineer indicates, in writing, that the top dressing will be stable for all site <br />conditions, including maintenance. <br />10. Special details must be given on the plans for any pipe or catch basin penetrations of the liner as <br />well as for the temporary sediment pond outlet control structure shown on sheet C9/13. The <br />structural plans for the pond walls shall also include special details regarding the liner. <br />Construction Plans: <br />1. Construction runoff must be tightlined to the bottom of the pond with down drains to prevent <br />scouring the top dressing off the liner and to prevent erosion and channeling that would <br />undermine the liner. <br />2. The lower invert elevations shown in the storm drain structure table do not match those shown <br />on sheet C10/13 for CB#28. <br />3. The upper overflow pipe coming into CB#28 should have an invert elevation in the pond of 425' <br />and should be brought into CB#28 at an elevation low enough to provide adequate clearance <br />between the crown of the overflow pipe and the underside of the catch basin lid. <br />4. A detail of CB#30 showing the "jail house overflow" must be provided, and the invert elevation <br />of the overflow specified. <br />5. CB#30 must be labeled on the plans on both C5/13 and C6/13. <br />r-51- q/ <br />_Page-4f4.- <br />
