Section_VIII_-_Sediment_Control_Details.pdf

This file is a technical standard details document from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland, providing sediment control specifications for construction projects. The document, dated September 2021, serves as a comprehensive reference guide containing 28 detailed standard specifications for sediment control measures, erosion prevention, and site protection practices. The specifications cover a range of sediment control devices including silt fences, stream bank protection measures, sediment traps, stabilized construction entrances, temporary access structures, inlet protection details, tree protection measures, filter logs, and concrete washout structures. These standard details are intended for use in conjunction with the WSSC's Area Water and Sewer House Connection project, which involves constructing approximately 11,000 linear feet of water house connections (1-2 inch diameter), approximately 2,600 linear feet of sewer house connections (4-6 inch diameter), and approximately 335 linear feet of pressure sewer house connections across approximately 150 new service installations in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties, Maryland, with responses due by 2:00 pm on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

The document functions as a design and construction standard reference rather than containing pricing information, award dates, or contract terms. The sediment control details are mandatory specifications that contractors and engineers must follow when implementing erosion and sediment control measures on WSSC projects, ensuring compliance with environmental protection and stormwater management requirements applicable to water and sewer infrastructure work in Maryland.
