Rip Rap 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 foundation and shape in line, grade and cross
section as designed, free of irregularities, which impede normal flow.
Bring over excavated areas to grade by backfilling with moist soil
compacted to the density of the surrounding material.
5. Grade soil away from channel so that surface water may enter freely.
6. Place filter cloth and/or any other bedding material to line and grade as
designed. Place filter and bedding material immediately after slope
preparation. For filter fabrics, overlap the downstream edge by at least
12 inches over the upstream edge that is buried in a minimum 12-inch
trench. Space anchor pins every 3 feet along the overlap. Spread
granular materials in a uniform layer. When more than one gradation
is specified, spread the layers so there is minimal mixing.
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 disturbed areas around the channel
in accordance with the Vegetation Plan.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect rip rap lined channels at regular intervals as well as after major rains, and
make repairs as soon as practical. Give special attention to the outlet and inlet sections and
other points where concentrated flow enters. Carefully check stability at road crossings
and look for indications of piping, scour holes or bank failures. Maintain all vegetation
adjacent to the channel in a healthy, vigorous condition to protect the area from erosion and
scour during high flow periods.

maximum mesh spacing of 24 inches at top and mid section.
CONSTRUCTION
Construct the wire reinforced silt fence of standard strength or extra
strength synthetic filter fabrics.
2. Ensure that the height of the sediment fence does not exceed 42 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 overlap to the next post.
4. Support standard strength filter fabric by the woven wire fence fastened
securely to the up slope side of the posts using heavy duty tie wires.
Extend the woven wire fence support to the bottom of the trench.
Utilize a wire mesh support fence. Space support posts a maximum of
10 feet apart. Support posts should be driven securely into the ground
to a minimum of 36 inches.
6. Excavate a trench approximately 24 inches wide and 9 inches deep
along the proposed line of posts and upslope from the barrier.
Backfill the trench with compacted soil placed over the filter fabric.

Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC • March 15, 2021
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect wire reinforced silt fence at least once a week and after each
rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately.
2. Should the fabric of sediment fence collapse, tear, decompose or
become ineffective, replace it promptly.
3. 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.
4. 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.
RECLAMATION
Reclamation will be conducted per the Reclamation Plan unless otherwise noted.

Outlet Protection
INTRODUCTION
Outlet Protection consists of Class 1 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
1. 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
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.

Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates In this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS)
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval The probability that precipitation frequency estimates (for
a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the tower bound) is 5% Estimates at upper bounds are
not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information

Hydrologic Soil Group —Mitchell County, North Carolina
SPRUCE PINE QUARRY -
NORTHERN DRAINAGE
Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long -duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B. C, and D) and
three dual classes (AID, BID, and CID). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet, These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands_ These soils have a high rate of water
transmission,
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission,
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell
potential, soils that have a high water table. soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (AID, BID, or CID), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
