PERMANENT SEED
NG
Purpose
't o provide permanent vegetative cover and improve visual aesthetics of a
project site.
To reduce erosion and sedimentation damage by stabilizing disturbed areas.
To reduce problems associated with mud or dust from unvegetated soil
surfaces.
To reduce sediment -laden storm water runoff from being transported to
downstream areas,
Seedbed Pre ratio
Grade and apply soil amendments.
Seeding Frequency
Seed final graded areas daily while soil is still loose and moist,
Densi of Vegetative Cover
Ninety percent or greater over the soil surface.
Materials
Soil Amendments Select materials and rates as determined by a soil test
(contact your County soil and water conservation district or cooperative extension
office for assistance and soil information, including available soil
testing services) or 400 to 600 pounds of 12- 12-12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent. Consider the use of reduced phosphorus application where soil
tests indicate adequate phosphorous levels in the soil prole.
Seed Select an appropriate plant species seed or seed mixture on the
basis of soil type, soil pH, region of the state, time of year, and intended land
use of the area to be seeded (see Table 1).
Mulch
Straw, hay, wood fiber, etc. (to protect seedbed, retain moisture, and
encourage plant growth).
Anchored to prevent removal by wind or water or covered with
premanufactured erosion control blankets.
Site Preparation
1. Grade the site to achieve positive drainage.
2. Add topsoil or compost mulch to achieve needed depth for establishment of
vegetation. (Compost material may be added to improve soil moisture holding
capacity, soil friability, and nutrient availability.)
See dbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test and work into the
upper two to four inches of soil. If testing is not done, apply 400 to 600
pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or equivalent.
3. Till the soil to obtain a uniform seedbed. Use a disk or rake, operated across
the slope, to work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of
the soil.
Seed
Optimum seeding dates are March 1 to May 10 and August 10 to September 30.
Permanent seeding done between May 10 and August 10 may need to be irrigated.
Seeding outside or beyond optimum seeding dates is still possible with the
understanding that reseeding or overseeding may be required if adequate surface
cover is not achieved. Reseeding or overseeding can be easily accomplished if
the soil surface remains well protected with mulch.
1. Select a seeding mixture and rate from Table 1. Select seed mixture based on
site conditions, soil pH, intended land use, and expected level of maintenance.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder (see Figure 1) or by
broadcasting (see Figure 2). Plant or cover the seed to a depth of one fourth
to one -half inch. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil
contact by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations. (If seeding is done with a hydroseeder (see Figure 3),
fertilizer and mulch can be applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.)
3. Mulch all seeded areas and use appropriate methods to anchor the mulch in place.
Consider using erosion control blankets on sloping areas and conveyance channels.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days until the vegetation is successfully established.
Characteristics of a successful stand include vigorous dark green or bluishgreen
seedlings with a uniform vegetative cover density of 90 percent or more.
Check. for erosion or movement of mulch.
Repair damaged, bare, gullied, or sparsely vegetated areas and then fertilize,
reseed, and apply and anchor mulch.
If plant cover is sparse or patchy, evaluate the plant materials chosen, soil
fertility, moisture condition, and mulch application; repair affected areas
either by overseeding or preparing a new seedbed and reseeding. Apply
and anchor mulch on the newly seeded areas.
If vegetation fails to grow, consider soil testing to determine soil pH or
nutrient deficiency problems. (Contact your soil and water conservation
district or cooperative extension office for assistance.)
If additional fertilization is needed to get a satisfactory stand, do so according
to soil test recommendations.
Add fertilizer the following growing season. Fertilize according to soil test
recommendations.
Fertilize turf areas annually, Apply fertilizer in a split application. For
cool season grasses, apply one -half of the fertilizer in late spring and onehalf
in early fall. For warm season grasses, apply one -third in early spring,
one -third in late spring, and the remaining one -third in middle summer.
PERMANENT SEEDING
Table 1. Permanent Seeding Recommendations
This table provides several seed mixture options. Additional seed mixtures are
available commercially. When selecting a mixture, consider intended and use
and site conditions, including soil properties (e.g., soil pH and drainage), slope
aspect, and the tolerance of each species to shade and drought.

1 Perennial species may be used as a temporary cover, especially if the area to be
seeded will remain idle for more than one year (see Permanent Seeding on page
35).
2 Seeding done outside the optimum seeding dates increases the chances of seeding
failure. Dates may be extended or shortened based on the location of the project
site within the state.
Notes:
Mulch alone is an acceptable temporary cover and may be used in lieu of temporary
seeding, provided that it is appropriately anchored.
A high potential for fertilizer, seed, and mulch to wash exists on steep banks, cuts,
and in channels and areas of concentrated flow.
Materials
Soil Amendments Select materials and rates as determined by a soil test
(contact your county soil and water conservation district or cooperative extension
office for assistance and soil information, including available soil testing
services) or 400 to 600 pounds of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or equivalent.
Consider the use of reduced phosphorus application where soil tests indicate
adequate phosphorous levels in the soil profile.

STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE
Purpose
To provide ingress /egress to a construction site and minimize tracking of mud
and sediment onto public roadways.
Dimensions
Width 20 feet minimum or full width of entrance /exit roadway, whichever
is greater.
Length 150 feet minimum (length can be shorter for small sites).
Thickness eight inches minimum.
Installation
1. Remove all vegetation and other objectionable material from the foundation
area.
2. Grade foundation and crown for positive drainage. If the slope of the
construction entrance is toward a public road and exceeds two percent, construct
an eight inch high diversion ridge with a ratio of 3 -to -1 side slopes
across the foundation area about 15 feet from the entrance to divert runoff
away from the road (see Temporary Construction Ingress /Egress Pad Cross
Section View Worksheet).
3. Install a culvert pipe under the pad if needed to maintain proper public road
drainage.
4. If wet conditions are anticipated, place geotextile fabric on the graded
foundation to improve stability.
5. Place aggregate (INDOT CA No. 2) to the dimensions and grade shown in
the construction plans, leaving the surface smooth and sloped for drainage.
6. Top -dress the first 50 feet adjacent to the public roadway with two to three
inches of washed aggregate (INDOT CA No. 53) [optional, used primarily
where the purpose of the pad is to keep soil from adhering to vehicle tires].
7. Where possible, divert all storm water runoff and drainage from the
ingress /egress pad to a sediment trap or basin.

Installation
1. Dig an eight -inch deep, four -inch wide trench around the perimeter of the
inlet.
2. If using pre assembled geotextile fabric and posts, drive the posts into the
soil, tightly stretching the geotextile fabric between posts as each is driven.
(Posts must be placed on the inlet side of the anchor trench with the
geotextile fabric on the side of the trench farthest from the inlet.)
Note: If assembling the geotextile fabric and posts on -site, drive the posts
into the soil and then secure the geotextile fabric to the posts by
placing a piece of lathe over the fabric and fastening it to the post
(stretching the fabric between posts as it is fastened).
3. Use the wrap join method when joining posts.
4. Place the bottom 12 inches of geotextile fabric into the eight -inch deep trench,
laying the remaining four inches in the bottom of the trench and extending
away from the inlet.
5. Backfill the trench with soil material and compact it in place.
6. Brace the posts by nailing braces into each corner post or utilize rigid panels
to support fabric.
Note: In situations where storm water may bypass the structure, either:
Set the top of the geotextile fabric filter at least six inches lower than the ground
elevation on the down -slope side of the storm drain inlet,
Build a temporary dike, compacted to six inches higher than the fabric, on the
down -slope side of the storm drain inlet, AND /OR

For best results: (a) legume seed should be inoculated; (b) seeding
mixtures containing legumes should preferably be spring- seeded,
although the grass may be fail- seeded and the legume frost- seeded; and
(c) if legumes are fall seeded, do so in early fall.
2 Tail fescue provides little cover for, and may be toxic; to some species
of wildlife. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources recognizes
the need for additional research on alternatives such as buffaiograss,
orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, and switchgrass. This research, in
conjunction with demonstration areas, should focus on erosion control
characteristics, wildlife toxicity, turf durability, and drought resistance.
Notes:
1. An oat or wheat companion or nurse crop may be used with any of
the above permanent seeding mixtures, at the following rates:
(a) spring oats one fourth to three- fourths bushel per acre
(b) wheal. no more than one -half bushel per acre
2. A high potential for fertilizer, seed, and ?Hutch to wash exists on
steep banks, cuts, and in channels and areas of concentrated flow.
Seedbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test. If testing is not
done, apply 400 to 600 pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent.
3. Work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of the soil with
a disk or rake operated across the slope.
Seeding
1. Select a seed species or an appropriate seed mixture and application rate
from Table 1.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder or by broadcasting.
Plant or cover seed to the depth shown in Table 1.
3. Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days.
4. Check for erosion or movement of mulch and repair immediately.
5. Monitor for erosion damage and adequate cover (80 percent density); reseed,
fertilize, and apply mulch where necessary.
6. If nitrogen deficiency is apparent. top -dress fall seeded wheat or rye seeding
with 50 pounds per acre of nitrogen in February or March.
Application Notes:
1. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil contact
by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations.
2. Daily seeding when the soil is moist is usually most effective.
3. If seeding is done with a hydroseeder, fertilizer and mulch can be
applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.
4. Apply mulch and anchor it in place.
1. Lay out the location of the fence so that it is parallel to the contour of the
slope and at least 10 feet beyond the toe of the slope to provide a sediment
storage area. Turn the ends of the fence up slope such that the point of contact
between the ground and the bottom of the fence end terminates at a
higher elevation than the top of the fence at its lowest point (see Exhibit 1).
2. Excavate an eight -inch deep by four -inch wide trench along the entire length
of the fence line (see Exhibit 2). Installation by plowing is also acceptable.
3. Install the silt fence with the filter fabric located on the up -slope side of the
excavated trench and the support posts on the down -slope side of the trench.
4. Drive the support posts at least 18 inches into the ground, tightly stretching
the fabric between the posts as each is driven into the soil. A minimum of 12
inches of the filter fabric should extend into the trench. If it is necessary t
join the ends of two fences, use the wrap joint method shown in Exhibit 3.)
5. Lay the lower four inches of filter fabric on the bottom of the trench and
extend it toward the up -slope side of the trench.
6. Backfill the trench with soil material and compact it in place.
Note: If the silt fence is being constructed on -site, attach the filter
fabric to the support posts (refer to Tables 1 and 2 for spacing
and geotextile specifications) and attach wooden lathe to secure
the fabric to the posts. Allow for at least 12 inches of fabric
below ground level. Complete the silt fence installation, following
steps 1 through 6 above.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of a rain event and at least once every seven calendar
days.
If fence fabric tears, starts to decompose, or in any way becomes ineffective,
replace the affected portion immediately.
Note: All repairs should meet specifications as outlined within this measure.
Remove deposited sediment when it is causing the filter fabric to bulge or
when it reaches one -half the height of the fence at its lowest point. When
contributing drainage area has been stabilized, remove the fence and sediment
deposits, grade the site to blend with the surrounding area, and
stabilize.

Materials
Soil Amendments Select materials and rates as determined by a soil test
(contact your County soil and water conservation district or cooperative extension
office for assistance and soil information, including available soil
testing services) or 400 to 600 pounds of 12- 12-12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent. Consider the use of reduced phosphorus application where soil
tests indicate adequate phosphorous levels in the soil prole.
Seed Select an appropriate plant species seed or seed mixture on the
basis of soil type, soil pH, region of the state, time of year, and intended land
use of the area to be seeded (see Table 1).
Mulch
Straw, hay, wood fiber, etc. (to protect seedbed, retain moisture, and
encourage plant growth).
Anchored to prevent removal by wind or water or covered with
premanufactured erosion control blankets.
Site Preparation
1. Grade the site to achieve positive drainage.
2. Add topsoil or compost mulch to achieve needed depth for establishment of
vegetation. (Compost material may be added to improve soil moisture holding
capacity, soil friability, and nutrient availability.)
See dbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test and work into the
upper two to four inches of soil. If testing is not done, apply 400 to 600
pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or equivalent.
3. Till the soil to obtain a uniform seedbed. Use a disk or rake, operated across
the slope, to work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of
the soil.
Seed
Optimum seeding dates are March 1 to May 10 and August 10 to September 30.
Permanent seeding done between May 10 and August 10 may need to be irrigated.
Seeding outside or beyond optimum seeding dates is still possible with the
understanding that reseeding or overseeding may be required if adequate surface
cover is not achieved. Reseeding or overseeding can be easily accomplished if
the soil surface remains well protected with mulch.
1. Select a seeding mixture and rate from Table 1. Select seed mixture based on
site conditions, soil pH, intended land use, and expected level of maintenance.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder (see Figure 1) or by
broadcasting (see Figure 2). Plant or cover the seed to a depth of one fourth
to one -half inch. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil
contact by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations. (If seeding is done with a hydroseeder (see Figure 3),
fertilizer and mulch can be applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.)
3. Mulch all seeded areas and use appropriate methods to anchor the mulch in place.
Consider using erosion control blankets on sloping areas and conveyance channels.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days until the vegetation is successfully established.
Characteristics of a successful stand include vigorous dark green or bluishgreen
seedlings with a uniform vegetative cover density of 90 percent or more.
Check. for erosion or movement of mulch.
Repair damaged, bare, gullied, or sparsely vegetated areas and then fertilize,
reseed, and apply and anchor mulch.
If plant cover is sparse or patchy, evaluate the plant materials chosen, soil
fertility, moisture condition, and mulch application; repair affected areas
either by overseeding or preparing a new seedbed and reseeding. Apply
and anchor mulch on the newly seeded areas.
If vegetation fails to grow, consider soil testing to determine soil pH or
nutrient deficiency problems. (Contact your soil and water conservation
district or cooperative extension office for assistance.)
If additional fertilization is needed to get a satisfactory stand, do so according
to soil test recommendations.
Add fertilizer the following growing season. Fertilize according to soil test
recommendations.
Fertilize turf areas annually, Apply fertilizer in a split application. For
cool season grasses, apply one -half of the fertilizer in late spring and onehalf
in early fall. For warm season grasses, apply one -third in early spring,
one -third in late spring, and the remaining one -third in middle summer.

STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE
Purpose
To provide ingress /egress to a construction site and minimize tracking of mud
and sediment onto public roadways.
Dimensions
Width 20 feet minimum or full width of entrance /exit roadway, whichever
is greater.
Length 150 feet minimum (length can be shorter for small sites).
Thickness eight inches minimum.
Installation
1. Remove all vegetation and other objectionable material from the foundation
area.
2. Grade foundation and crown for positive drainage. If the slope of the
construction entrance is toward a public road and exceeds two percent, construct
an eight inch high diversion ridge with a ratio of 3 -to -1 side slopes
across the foundation area about 15 feet from the entrance to divert runoff
away from the road (see Temporary Construction Ingress /Egress Pad Cross
Section View Worksheet).
3. Install a culvert pipe under the pad if needed to maintain proper public road
drainage.
4. If wet conditions are anticipated, place geotextile fabric on the graded
foundation to improve stability.
5. Place aggregate (INDOT CA No. 2) to the dimensions and grade shown in
the construction plans, leaving the surface smooth and sloped for drainage.
6. Top -dress the first 50 feet adjacent to the public roadway with two to three
inches of washed aggregate (INDOT CA No. 53) [optional, used primarily

1. Dig an eight -inch deep, four -inch wide trench around the perimeter of the
inlet.
2. If using pre assembled geotextile fabric and posts, drive the posts into the
soil, tightly stretching the geotextile fabric between posts as each is driven.
(Posts must be placed on the inlet side of the anchor trench with the
geotextile fabric on the side of the trench farthest from the inlet.)
Note: If assembling the geotextile fabric and posts on -site, drive the posts
into the soil and then secure the geotextile fabric to the posts by
placing a piece of lathe over the fabric and fastening it to the post
(stretching the fabric between posts as it is fastened).
3. Use the wrap join method when joining posts.
4. Place the bottom 12 inches of geotextile fabric into the eight -inch deep trench,
laying the remaining four inches in the bottom of the trench and extending
away from the inlet.
5. Backfill the trench with soil material and compact it in place.
6. Brace the posts by nailing braces into each corner post or utilize rigid panels
to support fabric.
Note: In situations where storm water may bypass the structure, either:
Set the top of the geotextile fabric filter at least six inches lower than the ground
elevation on the down -slope side of the storm drain inlet,
Build a temporary dike, compacted to six inches higher than the fabric, on the
down -slope side of the storm drain inlet, AND /OR

For best results: (a) legume seed should be inoculated; (b) seeding
mixtures containing legumes should preferably be spring- seeded,
although the grass may be fail- seeded and the legume frost- seeded; and
(c) if legumes are fall seeded, do so in early fall.
2 Tail fescue provides little cover for, and may be toxic; to some species
of wildlife. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources recognizes
the need for additional research on alternatives such as buffaiograss,
orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, and switchgrass. This research, in
conjunction with demonstration areas, should focus on erosion control
characteristics, wildlife toxicity, turf durability, and drought resistance.
Notes:
1. An oat or wheat companion or nurse crop may be used with any of
the above permanent seeding mixtures, at the following rates:
(a) spring oats one fourth to three- fourths bushel per acre
(b) wheal. no more than one -half bushel per acre
2. A high potential for fertilizer, seed, and ?Hutch to wash exists on
steep banks, cuts, and in channels and areas of concentrated flow.
Seedbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test. If testing is not
done, apply 400 to 600 pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent.
3. Work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of the soil with
a disk or rake operated across the slope.
Seeding
1. Select a seed species or an appropriate seed mixture and application rate
from Table 1.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder or by broadcasting.
Plant or cover seed to the depth shown in Table 1.
3. Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days.
4. Check for erosion or movement of mulch and repair immediately.
5. Monitor for erosion damage and adequate cover (80 percent density); reseed,
fertilize, and apply mulch where necessary.
6. If nitrogen deficiency is apparent. top -dress fall seeded wheat or rye seeding
with 50 pounds per acre of nitrogen in February or March.
Application Notes:
1. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil contact
by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations.
2. Daily seeding when the soil is moist is usually most effective.
3. If seeding is done with a hydroseeder, fertilizer and mulch can be
applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.
4. Apply mulch and anchor it in place.
1. Lay out the location of the fence so that it is parallel to the contour of the
slope and at least 10 feet beyond the toe of the slope to provide a sediment
storage area. Turn the ends of the fence up slope such that the point of contact
between the ground and the bottom of the fence end terminates at a
higher elevation than the top of the fence at its lowest point (see Exhibit 1).
2. Excavate an eight -inch deep by four -inch wide trench along the entire length
of the fence line (see Exhibit 2). Installation by plowing is also acceptable.
3. Install the silt fence with the filter fabric located on the up -slope side of the
excavated trench and the support posts on the down -slope side of the trench.
4. Drive the support posts at least 18 inches into the ground, tightly stretching
the fabric between the posts as each is driven into the soil. A minimum of 12
inches of the filter fabric should extend into the trench. If it is necessary t
join the ends of two fences, use the wrap joint method shown in Exhibit 3.)
5. Lay the lower four inches of filter fabric on the bottom of the trench and
extend it toward the up -slope side of the trench.
6. Backfill the trench with soil material and compact it in place.
Note: If the silt fence is being constructed on -site, attach the filter
fabric to the support posts (refer to Tables 1 and 2 for spacing
and geotextile specifications) and attach wooden lathe to secure
the fabric to the posts. Allow for at least 12 inches of fabric
below ground level. Complete the silt fence installation, following
steps 1 through 6 above.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of a rain event and at least once every seven calendar
days.
If fence fabric tears, starts to decompose, or in any way becomes ineffective,
replace the affected portion immediately.
Note: All repairs should meet specifications as outlined within this measure.
Remove deposited sediment when it is causing the filter fabric to bulge or
when it reaches one -half the height of the fence at its lowest point. When
contributing drainage area has been stabilized, remove the fence and sediment
deposits, grade the site to blend with the surrounding area, and
stabilize.

For best results: (a) legume seed should be inoculated; (b) seeding
mixtures containing legumes should preferably be spring- seeded,
although the grass may be fail- seeded and the legume frost- seeded; and
(c) if legumes are fall seeded, do so in early fall.
2 Tail fescue provides little cover for, and may be toxic; to some species
of wildlife. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources recognizes
the need for additional research on alternatives such as buffaiograss,
orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, and switchgrass. This research, in
conjunction with demonstration areas, should focus on erosion control
characteristics, wildlife toxicity, turf durability, and drought resistance.
Notes:
1. An oat or wheat companion or nurse crop may be used with any of
the above permanent seeding mixtures, at the following rates:
(a) spring oats one fourth to three- fourths bushel per acre
(b) wheal. no more than one -half bushel per acre
2. A high potential for fertilizer, seed, and ?Hutch to wash exists on
steep banks, cuts, and in channels and areas of concentrated flow.
Seedbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test. If testing is not
done, apply 400 to 600 pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent.
3. Work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of the soil with
a disk or rake operated across the slope.
Seeding
1. Select a seed species or an appropriate seed mixture and application rate
from Table 1.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder or by broadcasting.
Plant or cover seed to the depth shown in Table 1.
3. Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days.
4. Check for erosion or movement of mulch and repair immediately.
5. Monitor for erosion damage and adequate cover (80 percent density); reseed,
fertilize, and apply mulch where necessary.
6. If nitrogen deficiency is apparent. top -dress fall seeded wheat or rye seeding
with 50 pounds per acre of nitrogen in February or March.
Application Notes:
1. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil contact
by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations.
2. Daily seeding when the soil is moist is usually most effective.
3. If seeding is done with a hydroseeder, fertilizer and mulch can be
applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.
4. Apply mulch and anchor it in place.
1. Lay out the location of the fence so that it is parallel to the contour of the
slope and at least 10 feet beyond the toe of the slope to provide a sediment
storage area. Turn the ends of the fence up slope such that the point of contact
between the ground and the bottom of the fence end terminates at a
higher elevation than the top of the fence at its lowest point (see Exhibit 1).
2. Excavate an eight -inch deep by four -inch wide trench along the entire length
of the fence line (see Exhibit 2). Installation by plowing is also acceptable.
3. Install the silt fence with the filter fabric located on the up -slope side of the
excavated trench and the support posts on the down -slope side of the trench.
4. Drive the support posts at least 18 inches into the ground, tightly stretching
the fabric between the posts as each is driven into the soil. A minimum of 12
inches of the filter fabric should extend into the trench. If it is necessary t
join the ends of two fences, use the wrap joint method shown in Exhibit 3.)
5. Lay the lower four inches of filter fabric on the bottom of the trench and
extend it toward the up -slope side of the trench.
6. Backfill the trench with soil material and compact it in place.
Note: If the silt fence is being constructed on -site, attach the filter
fabric to the support posts (refer to Tables 1 and 2 for spacing
and geotextile specifications) and attach wooden lathe to secure
the fabric to the posts. Allow for at least 12 inches of fabric
below ground level. Complete the silt fence installation, following
steps 1 through 6 above.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of a rain event and at least once every seven calendar
days.
If fence fabric tears, starts to decompose, or in any way becomes ineffective,
replace the affected portion immediately.
Note: All repairs should meet specifications as outlined within this measure.
Remove deposited sediment when it is causing the filter fabric to bulge or
when it reaches one -half the height of the fence at its lowest point. When
contributing drainage area has been stabilized, remove the fence and sediment
deposits, grade the site to blend with the surrounding area, and
stabilize.

Materials
Soil Amendments Select materials and rates as determined by a soil test
(contact your County soil and water conservation district or cooperative extension
office for assistance and soil information, including available soil
testing services) or 400 to 600 pounds of 12- 12-12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent. Consider the use of reduced phosphorus application where soil
tests indicate adequate phosphorous levels in the soil prole.
Seed Select an appropriate plant species seed or seed mixture on the
basis of soil type, soil pH, region of the state, time of year, and intended land
use of the area to be seeded (see Table 1).
Mulch
Straw, hay, wood fiber, etc. (to protect seedbed, retain moisture, and
encourage plant growth).
Anchored to prevent removal by wind or water or covered with
premanufactured erosion control blankets.
Site Preparation
1. Grade the site to achieve positive drainage.
2. Add topsoil or compost mulch to achieve needed depth for establishment of
vegetation. (Compost material may be added to improve soil moisture holding
capacity, soil friability, and nutrient availability.)
See dbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test and work into the
upper two to four inches of soil. If testing is not done, apply 400 to 600
pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or equivalent.
3. Till the soil to obtain a uniform seedbed. Use a disk or rake, operated across
the slope, to work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of
the soil.
Seed
Optimum seeding dates are March 1 to May 10 and August 10 to September 30.
Permanent seeding done between May 10 and August 10 may need to be irrigated.
Seeding outside or beyond optimum seeding dates is still possible with the
understanding that reseeding or overseeding may be required if adequate surface
cover is not achieved. Reseeding or overseeding can be easily accomplished if
the soil surface remains well protected with mulch.
1. Select a seeding mixture and rate from Table 1. Select seed mixture based on
site conditions, soil pH, intended land use, and expected level of maintenance.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder (see Figure 1) or by
broadcasting (see Figure 2). Plant or cover the seed to a depth of one fourth
to one -half inch. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil
contact by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations. (If seeding is done with a hydroseeder (see Figure 3),
fertilizer and mulch can be applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.)
3. Mulch all seeded areas and use appropriate methods to anchor the mulch in place.
Consider using erosion control blankets on sloping areas and conveyance channels.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days until the vegetation is successfully established.
Characteristics of a successful stand include vigorous dark green or bluishgreen
seedlings with a uniform vegetative cover density of 90 percent or more.
Check. for erosion or movement of mulch.
Repair damaged, bare, gullied, or sparsely vegetated areas and then fertilize,
reseed, and apply and anchor mulch.
If plant cover is sparse or patchy, evaluate the plant materials chosen, soil
fertility, moisture condition, and mulch application; repair affected areas
either by overseeding or preparing a new seedbed and reseeding. Apply
and anchor mulch on the newly seeded areas.
If vegetation fails to grow, consider soil testing to determine soil pH or
nutrient deficiency problems. (Contact your soil and water conservation
district or cooperative extension office for assistance.)
If additional fertilization is needed to get a satisfactory stand, do so according
to soil test recommendations.
Add fertilizer the following growing season. Fertilize according to soil test
recommendations.
Fertilize turf areas annually, Apply fertilizer in a split application. For
cool season grasses, apply one -half of the fertilizer in late spring and onehalf
in early fall. For warm season grasses, apply one -third in early spring,
one -third in late spring, and the remaining one -third in middle summer.
PERMANENT SEEDING

For best results: (a) legume seed should be inoculated; (b) seeding
mixtures containing legumes should preferably be spring- seeded,
although the grass may be fail- seeded and the legume frost- seeded; and
(c) if legumes are fall seeded, do so in early fall.
2 Tail fescue provides little cover for, and may be toxic; to some species
of wildlife. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources recognizes
the need for additional research on alternatives such as buffaiograss,
orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, and switchgrass. This research, in
conjunction with demonstration areas, should focus on erosion control
characteristics, wildlife toxicity, turf durability, and drought resistance.
Notes:
1. An oat or wheat companion or nurse crop may be used with any of
the above permanent seeding mixtures, at the following rates:
(a) spring oats one fourth to three- fourths bushel per acre
(b) wheal. no more than one -half bushel per acre
2. A high potential for fertilizer, seed, and ?Hutch to wash exists on
steep banks, cuts, and in channels and areas of concentrated flow.
Seedbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test. If testing is not
done, apply 400 to 600 pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent.
3. Work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of the soil with
a disk or rake operated across the slope.
Seeding
1. Select a seed species or an appropriate seed mixture and application rate
from Table 1.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder or by broadcasting.
Plant or cover seed to the depth shown in Table 1.
3. Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days.
4. Check for erosion or movement of mulch and repair immediately.
5. Monitor for erosion damage and adequate cover (80 percent density); reseed,
fertilize, and apply mulch where necessary.
6. If nitrogen deficiency is apparent. top -dress fall seeded wheat or rye seeding
with 50 pounds per acre of nitrogen in February or March.
Application Notes:
1. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil contact
by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations.
2. Daily seeding when the soil is moist is usually most effective.
3. If seeding is done with a hydroseeder, fertilizer and mulch can be
applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.
4. Apply mulch and anchor it in place.
1. Lay out the location of the fence so that it is parallel to the contour of the
slope and at least 10 feet beyond the toe of the slope to provide a sediment
storage area. Turn the ends of the fence up slope such that the point of contact
between the ground and the bottom of the fence end terminates at a
higher elevation than the top of the fence at its lowest point (see Exhibit 1).
2. Excavate an eight -inch deep by four -inch wide trench along the entire length
of the fence line (see Exhibit 2). Installation by plowing is also acceptable.
3. Install the silt fence with the filter fabric located on the up -slope side of the
excavated trench and the support posts on the down -slope side of the trench.
4. Drive the support posts at least 18 inches into the ground, tightly stretching
the fabric between the posts as each is driven into the soil. A minimum of 12
inches of the filter fabric should extend into the trench. If it is necessary t
join the ends of two fences, use the wrap joint method shown in Exhibit 3.)
5. Lay the lower four inches of filter fabric on the bottom of the trench and
extend it toward the up -slope side of the trench.
6. Backfill the trench with soil material and compact it in place.
Note: If the silt fence is being constructed on -site, attach the filter
fabric to the support posts (refer to Tables 1 and 2 for spacing
and geotextile specifications) and attach wooden lathe to secure
the fabric to the posts. Allow for at least 12 inches of fabric
below ground level. Complete the silt fence installation, following
steps 1 through 6 above.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of a rain event and at least once every seven calendar
days.
If fence fabric tears, starts to decompose, or in any way becomes ineffective,
replace the affected portion immediately.
Note: All repairs should meet specifications as outlined within this measure.
Remove deposited sediment when it is causing the filter fabric to bulge or

Purpose
't o provide permanent vegetative cover and improve visual aesthetics of a
project site.
To reduce erosion and sedimentation damage by stabilizing disturbed areas.
To reduce problems associated with mud or dust from unvegetated soil
surfaces.
To reduce sediment -laden storm water runoff from being transported to
downstream areas,
Seedbed Pre ratio
Grade and apply soil amendments.
Seeding Frequency
Seed final graded areas daily while soil is still loose and moist,
Densi of Vegetative Cover
Ninety percent or greater over the soil surface.
Materials
Soil Amendments Select materials and rates as determined by a soil test
(contact your County soil and water conservation district or cooperative extension
office for assistance and soil information, including available soil
testing services) or 400 to 600 pounds of 12- 12-12 analysis fertilizer, or
equivalent. Consider the use of reduced phosphorus application where soil
tests indicate adequate phosphorous levels in the soil prole.
Seed Select an appropriate plant species seed or seed mixture on the
basis of soil type, soil pH, region of the state, time of year, and intended land
use of the area to be seeded (see Table 1).
Mulch
Straw, hay, wood fiber, etc. (to protect seedbed, retain moisture, and
encourage plant growth).
Anchored to prevent removal by wind or water or covered with
premanufactured erosion control blankets.
Site Preparation
1. Grade the site to achieve positive drainage.
2. Add topsoil or compost mulch to achieve needed depth for establishment of
vegetation. (Compost material may be added to improve soil moisture holding
capacity, soil friability, and nutrient availability.)
See dbed Preparation
1. Test soil to determine pH and nutrient levels.
2. Apply soil amendments as recommended by the soil test and work into the
upper two to four inches of soil. If testing is not done, apply 400 to 600
pounds per acre of 12 -12 -12 analysis fertilizer, or equivalent.
3. Till the soil to obtain a uniform seedbed. Use a disk or rake, operated across
the slope, to work the soil amendments into the upper two to four inches of
the soil.
Seed
Optimum seeding dates are March 1 to May 10 and August 10 to September 30.
Permanent seeding done between May 10 and August 10 may need to be irrigated.
Seeding outside or beyond optimum seeding dates is still possible with the
understanding that reseeding or overseeding may be required if adequate surface
cover is not achieved. Reseeding or overseeding can be easily accomplished if
the soil surface remains well protected with mulch.
1. Select a seeding mixture and rate from Table 1. Select seed mixture based on
site conditions, soil pH, intended land use, and expected level of maintenance.
2. Apply seed uniformly with a drill or cultipacker seeder (see Figure 1) or by
broadcasting (see Figure 2). Plant or cover the seed to a depth of one fourth
to one -half inch. If drilling or broadcasting the seed, ensure good seed -to -soil
contact by firming the seedbed with a roller or cultipacker after completing
seeding operations. (If seeding is done with a hydroseeder (see Figure 3),
fertilizer and mulch can be applied with the seed in a slurry mixture.)
3. Mulch all seeded areas and use appropriate methods to anchor the mulch in place.
Consider using erosion control blankets on sloping areas and conveyance channels.
Maintenance
Inspect within 24 hours of each rain event and at least once every seven
calendar days until the vegetation is successfully established.
Characteristics of a successful stand include vigorous dark green or bluishgreen
seedlings with a uniform vegetative cover density of 90 percent or more.
Check. for erosion or movement of mulch.
Repair damaged, bare, gullied, or sparsely vegetated areas and then fertilize,
reseed, and apply and anchor mulch.
If plant cover is sparse or patchy, evaluate the plant materials chosen, soil
fertility, moisture condition, and mulch application; repair affected areas
either by overseeding or preparing a new seedbed and reseeding. Apply
and anchor mulch on the newly seeded areas.
If vegetation fails to grow, consider soil testing to determine soil pH or
nutrient deficiency problems. (Contact your soil and water conservation
district or cooperative extension office for assistance.)
If additional fertilization is needed to get a satisfactory stand, do so according
to soil test recommendations.
Add fertilizer the following growing season. Fertilize according to soil test
recommendations.
Fertilize turf areas annually, Apply fertilizer in a split application. For
cool season grasses, apply one -half of the fertilizer in late spring and onehalf
in early fall. For warm season grasses, apply one -third in early spring,
one -third in late spring, and the remaining one -third in middle summer.
PERMANENT SEEDING
