I. DESCRIPTION

This work shall consist of constructing, inspecting, and maintaining grass channels in conformity with the lines, grades, and thickness as shown on the Plans and as directed by the Engineer.

II. MATERIALS

(a) Gravel and aggregate shall consist of clean, washed stone of the appropriate size classification conforming to Section 203 of the Specifications.

i. Bedding Stone, if called for in lieu of turf or landscaping in channel bed, shall be #1 aggregate conforming to Section 203 of the Specifications unless otherwise specified.

(b) Drainage fabric shall conform to Section 245.

(c) Geosynthetics shall conform to Section 245 of the specifications

(d) Soil Compost Amendments shall conform to the Special Provision for Compost Amended Soil and shall be installed as shown on the plans.

(e) Check Dams - Unless otherwise specified or directed the Engineer, check dams shall be constructed of riprap, aggregate, railroad ties, pressure treated logs or timbers, or concrete and be in conformance with the SWM Miscellaneous Special Provision.

(f) Topsoil shall conform to Section 244 of the Specifications and shall be installed according to Section 602 of the Specifications.

III. PROCEDURES

The contractor shall meet with the Engineer before starting work on grass channels. The contractor shall prepare a construction and maintenance schedule for each grass channel. Items to be included in the schedule are planned installation dates, mowing frequency, erosion repair, invasive species control, trash removal, and functionality checking. The contractor shall begin installation of the grass channel after approval by the Engineer.

a) The contractor shall verify the general boundaries of the contributing drainage area and the as-built inlet elevations to ensure they conform to original design. Subtle differences in site grading, drainage, and paving elevations can produce hydraulically important differences for proposed grass channels. The contractor and the Engineer shall communicate, in writing; any modifications identified during the preconstruction meeting and any modifications based on field conditions that are needed.

b) Grass channels shall be maintained free of construction vehicle traffic. When this is not possible the contractor shall integrate the conveyance into a temporary drainage network, providing temporary channel stabilization during construction activities.

i. Final grading of grass channels shall begin after the contributing drainage area has been stabilized with vegetation or final pavement. It may be necessary to block certain curb or other inlets while the grass channel area is being constructed and stabilized, if possible.

ii. Excavate the channel with light tracked equipment to avoid compacting the swale soil.

iii. The contractor shall clean all debris and sediment from the facility and return the channel to design grade and contour before inspection by the Engineer and, after approval by the Engineer, install any subsequent features.

c) Temporary erosion and sediment controls shall be installed as needed to divert stormwater away from the grass channel during construction until it is completed and stabilized. Install protection measures such as erosion control fabrics as needed to protect side slopes from erosion during construction.

d) Aggregate required for level spreaders or splash pads shall consist of clean, washed stone of the appropriate size classification.

e) Contaminated aggregate shall be cleaned or removed before starting fine grading or completing the facility. Geotextiles shall be installed as shown on the plans.

f) Soil Compost Amendments, if specified on the plans for the channel bed, shall be installed according to the Special Provision for Compost Amended Soil. These amendments shall be installed to the depth and by the method shown on the construction plans.

i. Install pretreatment facilities, driveway culverts, and check dams according to the

Specifications, the SWM Miscellaneous Special Provision, and as shown on the plans.

Type, size, and materials shall conform to the plans unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

ii. Install grass or alternate vegetation and ground cover specified in the planting plan for grass channels. Install sod, fabric, or non-erosive lining in the inlet channel and/or filter strips where indicated on the plans.

g) The contractor shall notify the Engineer the facility is ready for inspection when complete and request an inspection. Correct any items noted as unacceptable. Stabilize all disturbed areas and then remove all facility sediment controls and unblock curb openings or other upstream diversions only after the Engineer approves the facility.

IV. TOLERANCES

(a) Slopes surrounding grass channels shall be graded to 3:1 or flatter, unless otherwise specified. All tolerances shall conform to Section 303.05(b) of the Specifications.

(b) Grass channel finished grade shall conform to Section 305.03(c) of the Specifications.

V. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

The contractor shall maintain facilities in temporary or final condition during construction by mowing and performing regular maintenance until the project is accepted by the Engineer so that efficacy of the newly constructed facility is not degraded. Any deficiencies or damage shall be corrected at no additional cost to the Department. The contractor shall ensure that the facilities conform to these specifications before the facilities are accepted.

The contractor shall perform required maintenance which includes, but is not limited to:

• Clearing sediment buildup at curb cuts, pretreatment facilities such as gravel diaphragms or pavement edges that prevent flow from getting into the bed and check for signs of bypassing flows.

• Immediately stabilizing bare or eroding areas in the contributing drainage area or around the grass channel area with grass cover or other appropriate lining. Fertilizers may be needed to promote initial planting growth in accordance with the VDOT nutrient management plan program.

• Checking for any winter or salt-killed vegetation and replacing it with hardier species as directed by the Engineer.

• Repairing rills or gully erosion as directed by the Engineer.

• Watering at least once a week the first two months after seeding or sodding and then as needed during first April to October growing season.

• Checking the project for evidence of ponding, dead plants, or concentrated flows and taking remedial action to return the areas to conformity with the design in accordance with the specifications and as directed by the Engineer.

• Checking inflow points for clogging and removing any sediment as directed by the Engineer.

• If water remains on the surface more than 24 hours after a storm, grade adjustments may be needed as directed by the Engineer.

VI. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Grass channels (width) will be measured in linear feet for the bottom width specified and will be paid for at the Contract unit price per linear foot. This price shall include furnishing and installing drainage the grass channel of the given with along with required seeding and sodding. Pretreatment options, rip rap, topsoil and stabilization, temporary erosion and sediment control, and fertilizer should be measured and paid for in accordance with the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications. Check dams, if required, should be measured and paid for in accordance with the Special Provision for Stormwater Miscellaneous Items.

Payment for these items shall be full compensation for the transport of all materials, excavation, installation and the initial maintenance period before project acceptance.
