,Step 1. Determine the tailwater depth front channel characteristics below the
pipe outlet for the design capacity of the pipe_ If the tailwater depth is less
than half the outlet pipe diameter. it is classified mitumum tailwater condition_
Lfit is greater than half the pipe diameter, It is classified maxinmi condition_
Pipes that outlet onto -Wide flat areas with no defined channel are assumed
to ha-ve a n,;niinuni tailwater condition unless reliable flood stage elevations

Step 2. Based on the tailwater conditions determined in step 1, enter Figure
S_U6aorFigure 8_06h, and determine d50riprap size and mininnun apron length
(L). The d_, size is the median stone size iu a well -graded riprap apron_
Step 3. Determiine apron width at the pipe outlet, the apron shape, and the
apron width at the outlet end fron7 the same figure used im Step 2_

Step 6. Fit the riprap apron to the site by making it level for the rninimtun
length, L. , from Figure 8.06a or Figure 8.06b_ Extend the apron farther
downstream and along channel banks itntil stability is assured_ Keep the
apron as straight as possible and align it with the fio%v of the recen-1-ug stream_
Make any necessary alignment bends near the pipe outlet so that the entrance
into the recei7,-ing stream is straight_
Some locations may require lining of the entire channel cross section to assure
stabilitv_
It may be necessary to increase the size of riprap where protection of the
channel side slopes is necessary (Appendie 8.05_4'here a-erfalls exist at
pipe outlets or flows are excessive, a phinge pool should be considered, see
