Detail)_20191106TEMPORARY SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS PURPOSE To temporarily stabilize denuded areas that will not be brought to final grade for a period of more than 21 calendar days. Temporary seeding controls run off and erosion until permanent vegetation or other erosion control measures can be established. In addition, it provides residue for soil protection and seedbed preparation and reduces problems of mud and dust production from bare soil surfaces during construction. SPECIFICATIONS Complete grading before preparing seedbeds and install all necessary erosion control practices, such as dikes waterways and basins. Minimize steep slopes because the make P Ys P Pe Y seedbed preparation difficult and increase the erosion hazard. If soils become compacted during grading, loosen them to a depth of 6 - 8 inches using a ripper, harrow or chisel plow. Liming -Apply lime according to soil test recommendations. If the pH of the soil is not known, an application of ground agricultural limestone at the rate of 1 to 1 K2 tons/acre on coame4extured soils and 23 tons/acre on fine -textured soils is usually suffdent. Apply limestone uniformly and incorporate into the top 4.6 inches of soil. Soils with a pH of 6 or higher need not be limed. Fertilizer -Base application rates on soil tests. When these are not possible, apply a 10-10-10 grade fertilizer at a 7OD-1000 lb/acre rate. Both fertilizer and lime should be incorporated into the top 4-6 inches of soil. If a hydraulic seeder is used, do not mix seed and fertilizer more than 30 minutes before application. Surface roughening -If recent tillage operations have resulted in a loose surface, additional roughening may not be required except to break up large clods. If rainfall causes the surface to become sealed or crusted, loosen it just prior to seeding by disking, raking, harrowing, or other suitable methods. Groove or furrow slopes steeper than 3:1 on the contour before seeding. PLANT SELECTION Select an appropriate species or species mixture from seeding tables at right. SEEDING Evenly apply seed using a cyclone seeder (broadcast) drill, cultipacker seeder or hydroseeder. Use seeding rates given in tables at right. Broadcast seeding and hydroseeding are appropriate for steep slopes where equipment cannot be driven. Hand broadcasting is not recommended because of the difficulty in achieving a uniform distribution. Small grains should be planted no more than 1 inch deep, and grasses and legumes no more than X inch. Broadcast seed must be covered by raking or chain dragging and then lightly firmed with a roller or cultipacker. Hydroseeded mixtures should include a wood fiber mulch. MULCHING The use of an appropriate mulch will help ensure establishment under normal conditions and is essential to seeding success under harsh site conditions. Harsh site condition include: -seeding in fall for winter cover (wood fiber mulches are not considered adequate for this use) -slopes steeper than 3:1 -excessively hot or dry weather adverse soils (shallow, rocky, or high in day or sand) areas receiving concentrated flow If the area to be mulched is subject to concentrated water flow, as in channels, anchor mulch with netting. MAINTENANCE Reseed and mulch areas where seedling emergence is poor, or where erosion occurs, as soon as possible. Do not mow. Protect from traffic as much as possible.

PERMANENT SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS PURPOSE To reduce erosion and decrease sediment yield from listurbed areas, and to permanently stabilize such areas in a manner that is, conomical, adapts to site conditions, and allows selection of the most appropriate plant materials. Areas to be stabilized with permanent vegetation mus: be seeded or planted within 15 working days or 90 calendar days after final grade is , eached, whichever period is starter. PLANT SELECTION See table at right. Use certified seed for permanent v eding whenever possible. Certified seed is inspected by the North Carolina Crot Improvement Association. Labeling of non-ceniried seed is required by law. SEEDBED PREPARATION Install necessary mechanical erosion control practice, before seeding, and compete grading according to the approved plan. Lime and fertilizer needs should be determined by soi tests. When soil tests are not available, follow rates suggested on table at right ApNicetion rates ususally fall into the following ranges: -Ground agricultural limestone Light -textured, sandy soils: 1 -1 Y2 tons/ acre Heavy -textured, clayey soils: 2 -3 tons/a, re -Fertilizer Grasses800 -1200 lb/acre of 10-10-10 , orequivalent) Grass -legume mixtures: 800-1200lb/acre 5-10-10. Apply lime and fertilizer evenly and incorporate into the top 4-6 inches of soil by disking or other suitable means. Operate machinery on the contour. When using a hydroseeder, apply lime and fertilizer to a rough, loose surface. Complete seedbed preparation by breaking up large , ads and raking into a smooth, uniform surface (slopes less than 3:1). Fill in or level repressions that can collect water. Broadcast seed into a freshly loosened seedbed that has not been sealed by rainfall. MULCHING The use of an appropriate mulch will help ensure estaolishment under normal conditions and is essential to seeding success under ,,arch site conditions. Harsh site conditions include: -slopes steeper than 3:1 -excessively hot or dry weather -adverse soils (shallow, rocky, or high in clay o• sand) areas receiving concentrated water flow If the area to be mulched is subject to concentrated w Aer flow, as in channels, anchor mulch with netting. IRRIGATION Moisture is essential for good seed germination and seedling establishment. Supplemental irrigation can be very helpful in assuring, adequate stands in dry seasons or to speed development of full cover. Water applicab, an rates must be carefully controlled to prevent runoff. Inadequate or excessive amounts of water can be more harmful than no supplemental water. MAINTENANCE Generally a stand of vegetation cannot be determined to be fully established until soil cover has been maintained for one full year past plan: ng. Inspect seeded areas for failure and make necessary repairs and reseedings w thin the same season, if possible. Reseeding -If a stand has inadequate cover, re-evalu.de choice of plant materials and quantities of lime and fertilizer. Re-establish the stanc after seedbed preparation or over -seed the stand. Consider seeding temporary, arwal spectres if the time of year is not appropriate for permanent seeding. If the vegetation fails to grow, have soil tested to date, mine ff acidity or nutrient imbalance is responsible. Fertilization -On the typical disturbed site, full establis nment usually requires refertilization in the second growing season. Fine turf squires annual maintenance fertilization. Use soil tests it possible or follow the guic elines given for the specific seeding mixture.

REFERENCE - NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual, Table 6.11 p Construction Specifications Materials 1. Determine whether the quality and quantity of available topsoil justifies selective handling. Quality topsoil has the following characteristics: a. Texture -loam, sandy loam, and sift loam are best; sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, clay loam, and sand are fair. Do not use heavy clay and organic soils such as peat or muck for topsoil. b. Organic matter content - should be greater thanl.5% by weight. c. Acidity - pH should be greater than 3.6 before liming, and liming is required if it is less than 6.0. d. Soluble salts- should be less than SOD ppm. e. Sodium - sodium absorption ration shoudl be less than 12. 2. The depth of material should be at least 2 inches. Soil factors such as rock fragments, slope, depth to water table, and layer thickness affect the ease of excavation and spreading of topsoil. 3. Generally, the upper part of the soil, which is richest in organic matter, is most desirable; however, material excavated from deeper layers may be worth storing if it meets the other criteria listed above. 4. Organic soils such a mucks and pears do not make good topsoil. They can be identified by their extremely light weight when dry. Stripping 1. Striptopsoil on from those areas That will be disturbed b excavation fillip road building, or Ps N Y 9• 9. compaction by equipment. A 4-6 inch stripping depth is common, but depth varies depending on the site. Determine depth of stripping by taking soil cores at several locations within each area to be stripped. Topsoil depth generally varies along a gradient from hilltop to toe of The slope. Put sediment basins, diversions and other controls into place before slipping. Stockpiling 1. Select stockpile location to avoid slopes, natural drainage ways and traffic routes. On large sites, respreading is easier and more economical when topsoil is stockpiled in small piles located near areas where they will be used. 2. Use sediment fences or other barriers where necessary to retain sediment. 3. Protect topsoil stockpiles by temporality seeding as soon as possible, no more than 21 calendar days offer the formation of the stockpile. 4. If stockpiles will not be used within 90 days they must be stabilized with permanent vegetation to control erosion and weed growth. Site Preparation 1. Before spreading topsoil, establish erosion and sedimentation control practices such as diversions, bem'hs• dikes, waterways and sediment basins. 2. Maintain grades on the areas to be topsofled according to the approved plan and do not alter them PY adding topsoil. P 3. Where the pH of the existing subsoil is 6.0 or less, or the soil is composed of heavy clays, incorporate agricultural limestone in amounts recommended by soil test or specified for The seeding mixture to be used. Incorporate lime to a depth of at least 2 inches by disking. 4. Immediately prior to spreading the topsoil, loosen the subgrade by disking or scarifying to a depth of at least 4 inches, to ensure bonding of the topsoil and subsoil. If no amendments have been incorporated, loosen the soil To a depth of at least 6 inches before spreading the topsoil. Spreading Topsoil 1. Uniformly distribute topsoil to a minimum compacted depth of 2 inches on 3:1 slopes and 4 inches on flatter slopes. To determine the volume of topsoil required for application to various depths, use Table 6.04a. Do not spread topsoil while it is frozen or muddy or when the sugrade is wet or frozen. Correct any irregularities in the surface that result from topsolling or other operations to prevent the formation of depressions or water pockets. 2. Compact the topsoil enough to ensure good contact wth the underlyingsoil but avoid excessive P Pro 9 9 compaction, as it increases run off and inhibits seed germination. Light packing with a roller is recommended where high-maintanence turf is to be established. 3. On slopes and areas that will not be mowed, the surface may be left rough after spreading topsoil. A disk may be used to promote bonding at the interface between the topsoil and subsoil. 4. After topsoil application, follow procedures for seedbed preparation, taking care to avoid excessive mixing of topsoil into the subsoil.

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 suffiecient to cause failure of the sturcture.) 3. Construct the filter fabric from a continuous roll cut to the length of the bonier to avoid joints. When joints are necessary, securely fasten the filter cloth only at a support post with 4 feet minimum over top to the next post. 4. Support standard stregih 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 stregth. 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 Wth 6 feet post spacing does not require mesh support fence. Securely fasten the filter fabric directly to post. Wire or plastic zip ties should have minimum 50 pound tensile strength. 7. Excavate a french approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed line of posts and upslope from the barrier. 8. Place 12 inches of the fabric along the bottom and side of the trench. 9. Backfll 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 frees. MAINTENANCE 1. Inspect sediment fences at least once a week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately. 2. Should the fabric of a 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 material and unstable sediment deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilzie it after the contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.

Stair -step grade or groove cut slopes with a gradient steeper than 3:1 2. Use stair -step grading on any erodible material soft enough to be ripped with a bulldozer. Slopes consisting of soft rock With some subsoil are particularly suited to stair -step grading. 3. Make the vertical CLA distance less than the horizontal distance, and slightly slope the horizontal position of the "step" in toward the vertical wall. 4. Do not make individualI vertical cuts more than 2 feet in soft materials or more than 3 feet in rocky mateno s. 5. Groove using any appropriate implement that can be safely operated on the slope, such as disks, tillers, spring harrows of the teeth on a front-end loader bucket. Do not make such grooves less than 3 inches deep nor more than 15 inches apart. FILL SLOPE ROUGHENING FOR AREAS NOT TO BE MOWED 1. Place fill slopes with a gradient steeper than 3:1 in lifts no to exceed 9 inches, and make sure each lift is property compacted. Ensure that the face of the slope consists of loose, uncompacted rill 4 to 6 inches deep. Use grooving to roughen the face of the slopes. 2. Do not blade or scrape the final slope face. CUTS, FILLS AND GRADED AREAS THAT WILL BE MOWED 1. Make mowed slopes no steeper than 3:1. 2. Roughen these areas to shallow grooves by normal tilling, disking, harrowing or use of cultipacker-sdeeder. MaKe the fins pass of any such tillage implement n the contour. 3. Make grooves, formed by such implements, close together (less than 10 inches) and not less than 1 inch deep. 4. Excessive roughnes is undesirable where mooring is planned. ROUGHENING WITH TRACKED MACHINERY 1. Limit roughening with tracked machinery to sandy soils to avoid undue compaction of the soil surface. Tracking is generally not as effective as the other roughening methods described. Operate tracked machinery up and down the slope To leave horizontal depressions in the soil. Do not back -blade during the final grading operation. SEEDING Immediately seed and mulch roughened areas to obtain seed germination and growth. Maintenance Periodically check the seeded slopes for rills and washes. Fill these areas slightly above the original grade, then reseed and mulch as soon as Possible REFERENCE: North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual, Practice 6.03 / rr` SKIMMER SEDIMENT BASIN (Practice 6.64) CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION 1. Clear, grub, and slip the area under the embankment of all vegetation and root mat. Remove all surface soil containing high amounts of organic matter and stockpile or dispose of it properly. Haul all objectionable material to the designated disposal area. Place temporary sediment control measures below basin as needed. 2. Ensure that fill material for the embankment is free of roots, woody vegetation, organic matter, and other objectionable material. Place the fill in lifts not to exceed 6 inches to allow for settlement. 3. Shape the basin to the specified dimensions. Prevent the skimming device from settling into the mud by excavatins a shallow pit under the skimmer or providing a low support under the skimmer of stone or timber. 4. Place the barrel (typically flinch Shedule 40 PVC pipe)on a firm, smooth foundation of impervious soil. Do not use pervious material such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone as backfill around the pipe. Place the fill material around the pipe spillway in 44nch layers and compact it under and around the pipe to at least the same density as the adjacent embankment. Care must be taken not to raise the pipe from the firm contact with its foundation when compacting under the pipe haunches. Place a minimum depth of 2 feet of compacted backfill over the pipe spillway before crossing it withconstruction equipment. In no case should the pipe conduit be installed by cutting a trench through the dam after the embankment is complete. 5. Assemble the skimmer following the manuffacturers instructions, or as designed. S. lay the assembled skimmer on the bottom of the basin with the flexible joint at the inlet of the barrel pipe. Attache the flexible joint to the barrel pipe and position the skimmer over the excavated pipe or support. Be sure to attach a rope to the skimmer and anchor it to the side of the basin. This will be used to pull the skimmer to the side for maintenance. 7. Earthen spillways - Install the spillway in undisturbed soil to the greatest extent possible. The achievment of planned elevations, grade, design width, and entrance and exit channel slopes are critical to the successful operation of the spillway. The spillway should be lined with laminated plastic or impermeable geotextile fabric. The fabric must be wide and long enough to cover the bottow and sides and extend onto the top of the dam for anchoring in a trench. the edges may be secured with 8- inch staples or pins. The fabric must be long enough to extend down the slope and exit onto stable ground. The width of the fabric must be one piece, not joined or spliced; otherwise water ccon get under the fabric. If the length of the fabric is insufficient for the entire length of the spillway, multiple sections, spanning the complete width, may be used. The upper section(s) should overlap the lower sections) so that water cannot flow under the fabric. Secure the upper edge and sides of the fabric in a trench with staples or pins. 8. Intlets - Discharge water into the basin in a manner to prevent erosion. Use temporary slope drains or diversions with outlet protection to divert sediment -laden water to the upper end of the pool are to improve basin trap efficiency. 9. Erosion Control - Construct the structure so that the disturbed are is minimized. Divert surface water away from bare areas. Complete the embankment before the area is cleared. Stabilize the emergency spillway embankment and all other disturbed areas above the crest of the principal spillway immediately after construction. 10. Install porous baffles as specified in Practice 6.65, Porous Baffles. 11. After all the sediment -producing areas have been permanently stabilized, remove the structre and all the unstable sediment. Smooth the area to blend with the adjoining areas and stabilize properly. MAINENTANCE Inspect skimmer sediment basins at least weekly and after each significant (one-half inch or greater) rainfall event and repair immediately. Remove sediment and restore the basin to its original dimensions when sediment accumulates to one-half the height of the first baffle. Pull the skimmer to one side so that the sediment underneath it can be excavated. Excavate the sediment from the entire basin, not just around the skimmer or the first cell. make sure vegetation growing in the bottom of the bottom does not hold down the skimmer. Repair the baffles if they are damaged. Re -anchor the baffles if water is flowing underneath or around them. If the skimmer is clogged with trash and there is water in the basin, usually jerking the rope will make the skimmer bob up and down and dislodge the debris and restore flow. If this does not work, pull the skimmer over to the side of the basin and remove the debris. Also check the orifice inside the skimmer to see if it is clogged; if so remove the debris. If the skimmer are or barrel pipe is clogged, the orifice can be removed and the obstruction cleared with a plumber's snake or by flushing with water. Be sure and replace the orifice before repositioning the skimmer. Check the fabric lined spillway for damage and make any required repairs with fabric that spans the full width of the spillway. Check the embankment, spillways, and outlet for erosion damage, and inspect the embankment for piping the settlement. make all necessary repairs immediately. Remove all trash and other debris from the skimmer and pool areas. Freezing weather can result in ice forming in the basin. some special precautions should be taken in thewinter to prevent the skimmer from plugging with ice. Section A -A OUTLET TO FLAT AREA WITH NO WELL DEFINED CHANNEL NOTE: In both figures, the thickness of riprap is a shown in plans (minimum thickness is 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter. CONSTRUCTION 1. Excavate subgrade below design elevation to allow for thickness of fitter and dprap. Install dprap tp minimum thickness of 1.5 times maximum stone diameter. Final structure should be to lines and elevations shown in plan. 2. Construct apron on zero grade. If there is no well defined channel, cuss section may be level or slightly depressed in the middle. In a well defined channel, extend riprap and filter fabric to the top of the bank or as shown on plans. Blend riprap smoothly to the surrounding land. 3. Apron should be straight and property aligned with the receiving stream. If a curve is necessary to fit site condtions, curve the apron near the upstream end. 4. Compact any fill used in the subgrade to the density of surrounding undistrubed material. Subgrade should be smooth enough to protect fabric from tearing. 5. Instal a continuous section of extra strength filter fabric on smooth, compacted foundation. 6. Protect fitter fabric from tearing while placing riprap with machinery. Repair any damage immediately by removing riprap and installing another section of filer fabric. Upstream section of fabric should overlap downstream section by a minimum of 1 f . 7. Make sure top of riprap apron is level with receiving stream or slightly below A. Riprap should not restrict the channel or produce an overall. S. Immediately following installation, stabilize all disturbed areas with vegetation as referenced in seeding schedules. Section A -A OUTLET TO WELL DEFINED CHANNEL MAINTENANCE 1. Inspect nprap outlet structures after heavy rains for erosin at sides and ends of apron and for %tone displacement 2. Make repairs immediately using appropriate stone saes.
