B. Prior to construction, install silt fence along the downhill construction limits to prevent

SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL MEASURES 023701-7

silt intrusion upon adjacent land.

C. Install sediment and erosion control measures on the down slope toe of all topsoil stockpiles.

D. Maintain and remove all erosion controls as specified.

E. Temporary seeding shall be placed on exposed surfaces that will not be brought to final grading or permanent cover treatment within 30 days of the exposure to reduce erosion and sedimentation by stabilizing exposed soils. Seeded areas shall be checked regularly for bare spots, washouts, and healthy growth to assure that a good stand of grass is being maintained. Reseed areas that fail to establish vegetation cover as soon as such areas are identified.

3.2 DUST CONTROL

A. In areas subject to surface and air movement of dust, where on-site or off-site damage is likely to occur, one or more of the following preventive measures shall be taken for dust control:

1. Minimize the period of soil exposure by utilizing temporary ground cover and other temporary stabilization practices.

2. Sprinkle the site with water until surface is wet. Repeat as needed.

3.3 SILT FENCE

A. Silt fences are appropriate for the following general locations:

1. Immediately upstream of the point(s) of runoff discharge from a site before flow becomes concentrated. Below disturbed areas where runoff may occur in the form of overland flow.

2. Along the down slope toe of all topsoil stockpiles.

B. Materials.

1. Utilize standard strength synthetic filter fabric for sediment barriers. The filter fabric shall be purchased in a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to avoid the use of joints. When joints are necessary, filter cloth shall be spliced together only at a support post, with a minimum 6-inch overlap, and securely sealed.

2. The standard strength filter fabric shall be stapled or wired to the fence and 6 inches of the fabric shall be extended into the ground. Filter fabric shall not be stapled to existing trees.

3. Support posts shall be spaced at a maximum 6 feet and driven securely into the ground a minimum of 24 inches.

4. Filter fabric shall be buried a minimum of 12 inches.

5. The height of a silt fence shall not exceed 36 inches. Higher fences may impound volumes of water sufficient to cause failure of the structure.

C. Maintenance.

1. Silt fences and filter barriers shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall.

SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL MEASURES 023701-8

2. Silt fences shall be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, and to see if the fabric is securely attached to the fence posts, and to see that the fence posts are firmly in the ground. Any deficiencies shall be repaired immediately.

3. Should the fabric on a silt fence of filter barrier decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still be necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly.

4. Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event and/or when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier or when the sediments limit or prevent the flow of water through the fabric hydraulic.

5. Any sediment deposits remaining in place after the silt fence or filter barrier is no longer required shall be dressed to conform with the existing grade, prepared, and seeded.

3.4 STRAW BALE EROSION CONTROL FENCE

A. Straw bale erosion control fences are appropriate for the following general locations:

1. Sheet flow applications: Straw bales shall be placed in a single row, lengthwise on the contour with ends of adjacent bales tightly abutting one another.
