Enka Quarry•Mining Permit No. 11-03
!Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC
Mining Permit Modification November S,2024
Introduction
Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC ("Vulcan")operates the Enka Quarry, Permit No. 11-03, in
Buncombe County, North Carolina. The site is located on the south side of US Rt 19/23, at
1186 Smokey Park Highway,Candler,NC 28715.
This mining permit modification provides an overview of the existing conditions of the quarry
and a detailed plan for the proposed site improvements. The proposed activities include adding a
10.36-acre tract to the permit boundary with no disturbance and the construction of an access road
from the southern overburden storage area to Queen Road.
Existing Conditions
Property and Permit Boundary
The existing permitted property at Enka Quarry consists of 300.70 acres of land owned
by Vulcan Lands, Inc. This permitted area is shown on Operations Plan.
Lance
Within the 300.70-acre permitted area, Vulcan currently has approximately 273.20 acres
for quarry related activities including: approximately 0.90 acre for tailings/settling pond
area, 19.4 acres for stockpiles, 56.50 acres for overburden storage area, 25.90 acres
for processing/haul roads area, and 143.10 acres for mine excavation area.The remaining
areas are used for buffers and wildlife enhancement.
Wetlands and Streams
The area included in this permit modification request has been investigated for the presence
of Waters of the U.S. (wetlands and streams). Any such areas have been verified and
delineated using appropriate protocol and their locations surveyed. No impacts to Waters
of the US are proposed by this modification request.
Proposed Land Disturbance
This permit modification adds 10.36 acres to the west side of the approved permit boundary.This
is additional acreage to the permit boundary with no proposed disturbance currently.
The proposed south access road to Queen Road is in response to hurricane Helene damage in and
around the quarry. Crushed stone products and soil overburden are needed from the site by the
community for much needed repairs. Damage within the quarry site has bottlenecked all traffic to
a single lane creek crossing.The addition of this southern access road will allow community traffic
hauling soils to enter&exit the site without utilizing the single lane creek crossing.
The access road is being constructed within an area that is already permitted for overburden storage
Enka Quarry•Mining Permit No. 11-03
Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC
Mining Permit Modification November 5,2024
and in the future as mine excavation pit. The road culvert and approximately one-third of the
disturbed area for the access road construction are within the permitted area that has already been
disturbed during previous overburden storage placement operations.The remaining two-thirds of the
area, or 0.8 acre, required for the access road construction are within areas currently permitted for
disturbance as both overburden storage and mine excavation pit.
Approximately 0.25 acre of the buffer adjacent to property owned by Vulcan Materials will graded
to construct the access road. Once final grades are achieved for the roadside slopes,this area will be
vegetated,and the buffer will be re-established.
Adequate erosion and sediment control structures are already in place for the construction of this
access road. As an added protective measure, a rock check dam will be installed immediately
downstream of the rip rap outlet protection pad for the access road culvert. This will keep any
sediment local to the grading project and provide for easier identification& removal, if needed. Silt
(sediment)fence will also be installed if field conditions require during construction.
The site water truck will be utilized for dust suppression along the proposed access road.Clean stone
will be maintained along the access road, particularly from the gate to Queen Road, to prevent
tracking out onto the state highway.
Construction Sequence
1. After November 15th, begin clearing vegetation around the proposed rock check dam and
access road culvert.
2. Install the rock check dam and access road culvert.
3. Begin placing fill over the culvert and establish the fill interface drainage channels along
the toe of fill slopes.
4. Continue placing fill and bring the access road and outslopes to final grades. Establish and
maintain design drainage patterns as the construction proceeds.
5. Vegetate the final graded areas and place aggregate base course stone on the roadway for
the driving surface.
6. Install the gate across the access road to control traffic ingress&egress.
7. Clean any sediment from the rock check dam and drainage channels,then re-seed any areas
disturbed by the cleaning operations.

C.PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the sequence
to the mine map(s).Attach additional sheets as needed.
A large portion of the site has been graded and developed into a quarry. Erosion control measures will be installed
prior to the development of any areas that do not drain into the pit. Areas disturbed for the site development will be
stabilized once the final grades are obtained.Additionally,several existing erosion and sedimentation control
measures have been enhanced to provide more surface area for better settling efficiency for water quality control.
Also,clean storm water run-off from uphill undisturbed areas has been directed into a culvert to convey clean water
through an existing pipe that discharges into the creek. The development of the concrete plant on a tenant site will
occur within the existing stockpile area. Additional erosion control measures will be added for the new construction
and a construction sequence is shown on the construction plans for the new plant area.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during mining to
prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine excavation(s),waste
piles,access/mine roads,and process areas),and give a detailed sequence of installation and schedule for
maintenance of the measures.Locate and label all sediment and erosion control measures on the mine map(s)and
provide typical cross-sectionskonstruction details of each measure.Engineering designs and calculations are required
to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
Existing erosion and sediment measures were designed,approved,and installed per the existing permit.
These measures include conveyance channels,sediment basins(silt traps&riser basins),and silt fence.
See the construction sequence on the plans on file for the sequence of construction and maintenance. A
silt trap and diversion berms will be constructed to contain sediment from the proposed concrete plant.
Additional measures such as in-line settling ponds,check dams may be added to aid in the reduction of
stormwater turbidity. A skimmer basin has been added for the construction of the concrete plant site
3. A)Will the operation involve washing the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling?
FX_1YES ]NO
If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
Wash water generated at the sizing-wash screen will continue to flow via pipe to the closed-loop,non-discharge settling pond.Settling is performed by
gravity and the use of flocculants. The water will be recycled as wash water.
Site stormwater also receives additional stormwater treatment. Runoff from the pit expansion areas is diverted into the pit sump or nearby sediment basins.
Runoff from the area around the office is collected in a catch basin downstream of the parking lot. The runoff from other disturbed areas is collected in
setting basins to provide addition settling. Water is discharged from the pit sump infrequently and in accordance with the existing NPDES Water Quality
Permit NCG020000.
Enka Quarry has received inspections by the Division of Water Quality and has fully cooperated with their requirements and recommendations.
6)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters
of the State?
YES FINO
If yes,briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points(along with their method of
stabilization)on the mine map(s).
All water discharges from the site are covered by the existing NPDES permit. Pit
dewatering, process and stormwater discharges will be handled via approved
measures and in accordance with the existing NPDES Water Quality Permit
NCG020000.

C)Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s)extend below the water table?
FX-1YES ] NO
If yes,do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)?
a
YES 1:1
NO
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 576d000.00
If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?Locate all existing wells on the mine
maps)that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area.Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
made,including any monitoring well data,well construction data,and current water withdrawal rates.Indicate whether
the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
Stormwater accumulates in the existing pit in response to rainfall events.A portion of the water is used for dust suppression and in the production process.Excess
stormwater,retained temporarily in the pit,is clarified,sampled and occasionally discharged to tributary to Hominy Creek in compliance with our existing General NPDES water
permit.No additional point source discharges are being proposed.
We have no reason to suspect the operation has had or will have the potential to adversely impact any well in the vicinity.This is based in part upon the fact that during
Vulcan's 40•years(+)operating history of this facility,we have not substantiated any impacts to any adjoining wells. Regardless,should a concern come to our attention,we
would fully investigate the inquiry. The surrounding area is served by public water.There are no known wells within 500 feet of the pit limits as shown on the plans.
Ground water occurs in two aquifer units at and around the site,the soil zone and the bedrock zone.These two aquifer units are hydrologically interrelated,with recharge to
bedrock occurring as downward leakage from vrater in the soil.In the soil zone aquifer,the quarry site is partially hydrologically isolated from any domestic wells. Hydrologic
barriers are created by topographic highs to the east,west and south of the quarry. Hominy Creek fortes a hydrologic barrier north of the quarry.Ground water divides and
boundaries in the bedrock zone appear to be similar to those of the soil horizon and surface water,partially isolating the quarry hydrologically.
D)If you answered yes to any of the above questions,provide evidence that you have applied for or obtained the
appropriate water quality permit(s)(i.e.,non-discharge,NPDES,Stormwater,etc.)from the Stormwater Program.In
addition,the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of Water Resources,Ground Water
Management Branch,if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit
from the Division of Water Resources,Ground Water Management Branch,if the operation lies in a capacity use area
and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
We hold general permit number NCG020000, Certificate of Coverage
NCG020151 that addresses and covers water-related activities including
dewatering, process water, settling pond and stormwater discharges. We are not
required to obtain a capacity use permit; however, we have registered our water
use with the Division of Water Resources.
4. A)Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
FX-1YES F]NO
If yes,indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality
or local governing body.
Vulcan holds Air Permit Number 11-649-21 issued by Western North Carolina
Regional Air Quality Agency.
B)How will dust from stockpiles,haul roads,etc.,be controlled?
Fugitive dust from stockpiles and haul roads will be controlled by use of a water
truck. Water will also be applied at the appropriate areas throughout the
crushing circuit by use of spray bars.

5. A)A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way.It may be an
unexcavated buffer(no excavation,but roadways,berms,and erosion&sedimentation control measures may be
installed within it),an undisturbed buffer(no disturbance within the buffer whatsoever),or a combination of the two,
depending upon the site conditions.Note that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way at
this site?A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended,although a wider buffer may be needed depending on site
conditions.Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s).
An unexcavated buffer zone of at least 25 feet wide will be provided between
any mine excavation or overburden storage and adjacent property lines on the
original permitted tract. Slopes will be graded no steeper than a 2:1 ratio and
stabilized after grading to protect adjoining permit boundaries.
B)A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities within the mining
permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified.
Depending on site conditions,a buffer wider than 50 feet may be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit
boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site?Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
A minimum buffer width of 50 feet will be maintained adjacent to streams and
wetlands, except for areas where impacts are proposed, impacts have been
previously permitted, and in locations for temporary crossings.
6. A)Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining.
Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or
flatter for sandy material are generally required unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
A 25 foot minimum buffer will be maintained between any new cut slopes and
adjacent properties. The slopes will be constructed at a 21-1:1V slope angle and
seeded/munched immediately upon completion.
B)Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s)for all fill slopes(berms,waste piles,overburden disposal areas,etc.),
clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient,installation of any benches and/or slope drains(with supporting
design information)if needed,and the method of final stabilization.
See the previously approved mine permit modifications for overburden storage area
construction plans for the typical slope, bench, and slope drainage details. The typical pit wall

D.RECLAMATION PLAN
1. Describe your intended plan for the final reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the
sequence and general methods to be used in reclaiming this land.This must include the method of reclamation of
settling ponds and/or sediment control basins and the method of restoration or establishment of any permanent
drainage channels to a condition minimizing erosion,siltation and other pollution. This information must be illustrated
on a reclamation map and must correspond directly with the information provided on the mine map(s).In addition,
design information,including typical cross-sections,of any permanent channels to be constructed as part of the
reclamation plan and the location(s)of all permanent channels must be indicated on the reclamation map.
Reclamation at Enka Quarry is an ongoing process. Through on-site
inspections, Vulcan Construction Materials monitors, on a periodic basis, the site
for areas that may need maintenance or construction of additional erosion and
sediment control measures. After the mining operation has ceased, all of the
affected land will be sloped for drainage, contoured, graded, and vegetated per
the approved seed mix.
2. Is an excavated or impounded body of water to be left as part of the reclamation?
FIYES F ]NO
If yes,illustrate the location of the body(s)of water on the reclamation map and provide a scaled cross-sections)

beneficial at this site.
Will the body(s)of water be stocked with fish?
YES FX]NO
If yes,specify species.
3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock including what
kind of permanent barricade will be left.Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate fencing,large boulders

The main access road into the property is to be left intact. The ditches are to be lined
with riprap and/or seeded to prevent erosion. The main haul road and service roads
will remain for vehicular access to the lake formed by the pit. These roads shall be
stabilized while the quarry is active. The roads and their need for maintenance will
be determined by the future use of the site after the operation has ceased.
6. Describe the method of control of contaminants and disposal of scrap metal,junk machinery,cables,or other such
waste products of mining.(Note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971.)
No off-site generated waste shall be disposed of on the mine site without prior written approval from the NC
Department of Environmental Quality,Division of Energy,Mineral,and Land Resources and either the Division

Culverts
Culverts will be installed using the open-trench method. The trench will be
excavated to the lines and grades shown in the plans. If the trench bottom contains
unsuitable material, the material will be removed and replaced with an acceptable base
material, such as North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCD07) crusher run
aggregate. Backfill will be placed in uniform lifts not greater than six inches upon
compaction. Fill may be compacted with hand-operated or mechanical tampers. Vibratory
rollers may not be activated until three feet of backfill has been placed and compacted over
the pipe. Rock rip rap protection will be constructed at the culvert inlets and outlets to
prevent erosion by spreading out the flow. All culverts will also include inlet protection in
order to prevent "piping" effect beneath the culvert. Refer to the following diagrams for
typical culvert installation guidelines for corrugated metal pipe(CMP)and concrete pipe.

Grass Lined Channels
CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION
1. Construction will be carried out in such a manner that erosion and
sediment loss will be minimized.
2. Prior to commencing construction, appropriate temporary erosion and
sediment control structures will be installed. Temporary control
structures include (but are not limited to) silt fence, rock check dams
and straw bale barriers.
3. Remove all trees,brush,stumps,and other objectionable material from
the foundation area and dispose of properly.
4. Excavate the channel and shape in line, grade and cross section as
designed, free of irregularities,which impede normal flow.
5. Grade soil away from channel so that surface water may enter freely.
6. Fills shall be compacted as needed to prevent unequal settlement that
could cause damage in the completed diversion.
7. All earth material not needed in construction shall be spread or
disposed of so that it will not interfere with the functioning of the
diversion.
8. Apply lime, fertilizer and seed the channel and adjoining area in
accordance with the Vegetation Plan.
MAINTENANCE
Check grass-lined channels after every substantial rainfall event. It is particularly
important to check the channel outlet and all road crossings for bank stability and evidence
of piping or scour holes. Remove all significant sediment accumulations to maintain the
designed carrying capacity. Keep the grass in a healthy, vigorous condition at all times
since it is the primary erosion protection for the channel. Repairs will be made as soon as
practically possible.
RECLAMATION
Reclamation will be conducted per the Reclamation Plan unless otherwise noted.
Refer to the following drawing of a typical grass-lined conveyance channel.

Rock Filter Berm
INTRODUCTION
Rock Filter Berm consists of a berm of stone constructed along a constant
elevation.. The purpose of the Rock Filter Berm is to intercept sheet flow and shallow
concentrated flow, filter this flow through rock and then release the flow as sheet flow.
Rock Filter Berms shall intercept only small drainage areas with small flows. They may
be applied to address conditions encountered in the field.
On shallow slopes(0%—3%)the stone size may be 2" (-).
On steeper slopes(3%-5%)the stone size shall be 2"—6" surge stone.
CONSTRUCTION
1. Clear the foundation area of trees, stumps, roots, loose rock, and other
objectionable material.
2. Establish a level top elevation for the berm. Construct berms at a
constant elevation and in accordance with the detail.
3. Perform all Rock Filter Berm construction to keep erosion and water
pollution to a minimum. Immediately upon completion of the Rock
Filter Berm,vegetate all disturbed areas per the approved Reclamation
Plan or as stated otherwise to protect them against soil erosion.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect Rock Filter Berm protection at regular intervals as well as after
major rains, and make repairs promptly. Give special attention to the
outlet and inlet sections and other points where concentrated flow
enters. Carefully check stability and look for indications of piping,
scour holes, or bank failures. Make repairs immediately. Maintain all
vegetation adjacent to the Rock Filter Berm in a healthy, vigorous
condition to protect the area from erosion and scour during out-of-bank
flow.
RECLAMATION
Reclamation will be conducted per the Reclamation Plan unless otherwise noted.

Outlet Protection
INTRODUCTION
Outlet Protection consists of Class I or Class 2 Rip Rap constructed in accordance
with NCDOT standards. Outlet protection for culverts is configured in accordance with
NCDOT design charts. Outlet protection for sediment structures consists of a level area
that varies in size and is designed to accommodate the flows from a particular outlet. Each
Outlet Protection is site specific and a detail is provided for the particular structure to which
the Outlet Protection applies.
The level area consists of NCDOT Class 1 rip rap constructed in accordance with
the plans. Outlet protection is designed to reduce velocity and disperse water. Outlet
protection is designed to reduce the possibility of erosion caused by concentrated waters
on natural slopes.
CONSTRUCTION
I. Clear the foundation area of trees, stumps, roots, loose rock, and other
objectionable material.
2. Excavate the cross section to the lines and grades of the rip rap
placement as shown on the plans. Bring over-excavated areas to grade
by increasing the thickness of the liner or by backfilling with moist soil
compacted to the density of the surrounding material. Place all surplus
excavated material from the trap excavation in the overburden disposal
berm or other approved area.
3. Perform all channel construction to keep erosion and water pollution to
a minimum. Immediately upon completion of the channel, vegetate all
disturbed areas per the approved Reclamation Plan or as stated
otherwise to protect them against soil erosion. Where sediment trap
construction will take longer than 30 days, vegetate incrementally.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect outlet protection at regular intervals as well as after major rains,
and make repairs promptly. Give special attention to the outlet and inlet
sections and other points where concentrated flow enters. Carefully
check stability and look for indications of piping, scour holes, or bank
failures. Make repairs immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent
to the slope channel in a healthy,vigorous condition to protect the area
from erosion and scour during out-of-bank flow.
RECLAMATION
Reclamation will be conducted per the Reclamation Plan unless otherwise noted.
Refer to the following drawings of a typical outlet protection.

Practice Standards and Specifications
6.62
SEDIMENT
Definition A temporary sediment control measure consisting of fabric buried at the
bottom,stretched,and supported by posts.
Purpose To retain sediment from small disturbed areas by reducing the velocity of
sheet flows to allow sediment deposition.
Conditions Where Below small-disturbed areas that are less then'/+acre per 100 feet of fence.
Practice Applies Where runoff can be stored behind the sediment fence without damaging the
fence or the submerged area behind the fence.
Do not install sediment fences across streams,ditches,or waterways,or
other areas of concentrated flow.
Sediment fence should be placed along topographic elevation contours,where
it can intercept stormwater runoff that is in dispersed sheet flow. Sediment
fence should not be used alone below graded slopes greater than 10 feet in
height.
Planning A sediment fence is a system to retain sediment on the construction site. The
fence retains sediment primarily by retarding flow and promoting deposition.
Considerations In operation,generally the fence becomes clogged with fine particles,which
reduce the flow rate. This causes a pond to develop behind the fence. The
designer should anticipate ponding and provide sufficient storage areas and
overflow outlets to prevent flows from overtopping the fence. Since sediment
fences are not designed to withstand high water levels,locate them so that
only shallow pools can form. Tie the ends of a sediment fence into higher
ground to prevent flow around the end of the fence before the pool reaches
design level. Curling each end of the fence uphill in a"J"pattern may be
appropriate to prevent end flow. Provide stabilized outlets to protect the fence
system and release storm flows that exceed the design storm.
Deposition occurs as the storage pool forms behind the fence.The designer can
direct flows to specified deposition areas through appropriate positioning of
the fence or by providing an excavated area behind the fence. Plan deposition
areas at accessible points to promote routine cleanout and maintenance. Show
deposition areas in the erosion and sedimentation control plan. A sediment
fence acts as a diversion if placed slightly off the contour. A maximum slope
of 2 percent is recommended. This technique may be used to control shallow,
uniform flows from small disturbed areas and to deliver sediment-laden water
to deposition areas.The anchoring of the toe of the fence should be reinforced
with 12 inches of NC DOT#5 or#57 washed stone when flow will run parallel
to the toe of the fence.
Sediment fences serve no function along ridges or near drainage divides where
there is little movement of water. Confining or diverting runoff unnecessarily
with a sediment fence may create erosion and sedimentation problems that
would not otherwise occur.
Rev.5113 6.62.1
Enka Quarry-Mining Permit No. 11-03-Permit Modification
Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC-September 16.2024
Straw barriers have only a 0-20%trapping efficiency and are inadequate.Straw
bales may not be used in place of sediment fence.Prefabricated sediment fence
with the fabric already stapled to thin wooden posts does not meet minimum
standards specified later in this section.
Anchoring of sediment fence is critical.The toe of the fabric must be anchored
in a trench backfilled with compacted earth. Mechanical compaction must be
provided in order for the fence to effectively pond runoff.
Design Criteria Ensure that drainage area is no greater than''A acre per 100 feet offence. This
is the maximum drainage area when the slope is less than 2 percent. Where
all runoff is to be stored behind the fence,ensure that the maximum slope
length behind a sediment fence does not exceed the specifications shown in
Table 6.62a. The shorter slope length allowed for steeper slopes will greatly
reduce the maximum drainage area. For example,a 10-20%slope may have
a maximum slope length of 25 feet. For a 100-foot length of sediment fence,
the drainage area would be 25ft X 100ft=2500sq.ft.,or 0.06 acres.

10 to 20% 25 2,500
>20% 15 1,500
Make the fence stable for the 10-year peak storm runoff.
Ensure that the depth of impounded water does not exceed 1.5 feet at any point
along the fence.
If non-erosive outlets are provided, slope length may be increased beyond
that shown in Table 6.62a,but runoff from the area should be determined and
bypass capacity and erosion potential along the fence must be checked. The
velocity of the flow at the outlet or along the fence should be in keeping with
Table 8.05d,Appendix 8.05.
Provide a riprap splash pad or other outlet protection device for any point
where flow may overtop the sediment fence,such as natural depressions or
swales. Ensure that the maximum height of the fence at a protected,reinforced
outlet does not exceed 2 feet and that support post spacing does not exceed 4
feet.
The design life of a synthetic sediment fence should be 6 months.
Construction MATERIALS
Specifications " Use a synthetic filter fabric of at least 95%by weight of polyolefins or
p polyester,which is certified by the manufacturer or supplier as conforming to
the requirements in ASTM D 6461,which is shown in part in Table 6.62b.
Synthetic filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers
to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a
temperature range of 0 to 1200 F.

2. Ensure that posts for sediment fences are 1.25 lb/linear ft minimum
steel with a minimum length of 5 feet. Make sure that steel posts have
projections to facilitate fastening the fabric.
3. For reinforcement of standard strength filter fabric,use wire fence with a
minimum 14 gauge and a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches.

2 These default values are based on empirical evidence with a variety of sediment. For environmentally sensitive areas,a review of
previous experience and/or site or regionally specific geotextila tests in accordance with Test Method D 5141 should be performed
by the agency to confirm suitability of these requirements.
As measured in accordance with Test Method D 4632.
CONSTRUCTION
1. Construct the sediment barrier of standard strength or extra strength
synthetic filter fabrics.
2. Ensure that the height of the sediment fence does not exceed 24 inches
above the ground surface. (Higher fences may impound volumes of water
sufficient to cause failure of the structure.)
3. Construct the filter fabric from a continuous roll cut to the length of the
barrier to avoid joints. When joints are necessary,securely fasten the filter
cloth only at a support post with 4 feet minimum overlap to the next post.
4. Support standard strength filter fabric by wire mesh fastened securely to
the upslope side of the posts. Extend the wire mesh support to the bottom of
the trench. Fasten the wire reinforcement,then fabric on the upslope side of
the fence post. Wire or plastic zip ties should have minimum 50 pound tensile
strength.
5. When a wire mesh support fence is used,space posts a maximum of 8 feet
apart. Support posts should be driven securely into the ground a minimum of
24 inches.
6. Extra strength filter fabric with 6 feet post spacing does not require wire
mesh support fence. Securely fasten the filter fabric directly to posts. Wire or
plastic zip ties should have minimum 50 pound tensile strength.

7. Excavate a trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along
the proposed line of posts and upslope from the barrier(Figure 6.62a).
8. Place 12 inches of the fabric along the bottom and side of the trench.
9. Backfill the trench with soil placed over the filter fabric and compact.
Thorough compaction of the backfill is critical to silt fence performance.
10.Do not attach filter fabric to existing trees.
SEDIMENT FENCE INSTALLATION USING THE SLICING METHOD
Instead of excavating a trench,placing fabric and then backfilling trench,
sediment fence may be installed using specially designed equipment that
inserts the fabric into a cut sliced in the ground with a disc(Figure 6.62b).
Installation 1. The base of both end posts should be at least one foot higher than the
Specifications middle of the fence. Check with a level if necessary.
2. Install posts 4 feet apart in critical areas and 6 feet apart on standard
applications.
3. Install posts 2 feet deep on the downstream,side of the silt fence,and
as close as possible to the fabric,enabling posts to support the fabric from
upstream water pressure.
4. Install posts with the nipples facing away from the silt fabric.
5. Attach the fabric to each post with three ties,all spaced within tbe top 8
inches of the fabric.Attach each tie diagonally 45 degrees through the fabric,
with each puncture at least 1 inch vertically apart. Also,each tie should be
positioned to hang on a post nipple when tightened to prevent sagging.
6. Wrap approximately 6 inches of fabric around the end posts and secure
with 3 ties.
7. No more than 24 inches of a 36 inch fabric is allowed above ground
level.
8. The installation should be checked and corrected for any deviations before
compaction.
9. Compaction is vitally important for effective results. Compact the soil
inunediately next to the silt fence fabric with the front wheel of the tractor,
skid steer,or roller exerting at least 60 pounds per square inch. Compact the
upstream side first,and then each side twice for a total of 4 trips.

Maintenance Inspect sediment fences at least once a week and after each rainfall.Make any
required repairs immediately.
Should the fabric of a sediment fence collapse,tear,decompose or become
ineffective,replace it promptly.
Remove sediment deposits as necessary to provide adequate storage volume
for the next rain and to reduce pressure on the fence. Take care to avoid
undermining the fence during cleanout.
Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment deposits and bring the
area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been
properly stabilized
