SECTION 02910 - SOIL EROSION CONTROL SEQUENCE
The following is a list in sequence of construction activities to

1. Contractor shall install sediment traps and straw bole
filters, as shown.
2. Mass grade the site (sides of swaes, mounds and ponds to be
seeded and mulched immediately upon completion). Temporary
seeding shall be recommended for all swoles and disturbed
areas that cannot be final seeded within a time period that
will prevent slope erosion. For temporary seeding, the
contractor shall utilize a fast growing seed of either oats,
annual ryegross, wheat or rye depending on time of year.
Disturbed areas shall be kept to a minimum at all times.
3. Contactor shall control mud accumulation on all streets
surrounding project by installing stone surface at all
locations where construction traffic leaves the site. Dust
shall be kept to a minimum by utilizing sprinkling, Calcium
Chloride, vegetative cover, spray on adhesives or other
approved methods.
4. Maintain all filters and traps during construction to
prevent any blockages from accumulated sediment. Additional
seeding and straw bales may be required during construction
as specified by Engineer or Soil Conservation Service. Rip
rap shall be placed in areas of high velocity stream flow
(minimum size 1/3 cu. ft.). Payment for additional rip rap
(not shown on plans) and seeding shall be paid for on o unit
basis.
5. Contractor shall install all sanitary sewers, storm sewers,
subsurface drains, and water mains. Straw bole flters
shall be installed at all storm inlets (including street
inlets), and all temporary drainage swales at 100 ft.
intervals.
6. All proposed street areas shall be paved as soon as possible
after subgrode is prepared.
7. All disturbed areas shall be seeded and mulched as specified
8. Contractor shall maintain all temporary erosion control
measures throughout the construction phase of this project
and remove all temporary erosion and sediment controls only
when there is a sufficient growth of ground cover to prevent
further erosion.
SECTION 02912 - EROSION CONTROL BLANKET
Erosion control blanket shall be a machine- produced mot of 100%
agricultural straw.
The blanket shall be of consistent thickness with the straw
evenly distributed over the entire area of the mot. The blanket
shall be covered on the top side with polypropylene netting
having on approximate 5/8' x 5/8' mesh, and on the bottom with a
polypropylene, netting with on approximate 1/4" x 1/4' mesh. The
blanket shall be sewn together with cotton thread.
Straw erosion control blanket (or low velocity channel lining)
shall be S105 as manufactured by North American Green, or
equivalent. Erosion control blanket or channel lining shall have
the following properties.
Material Content:
Straw 100% (.5 lb/sq. yd.) (.27 kg /m2)
Netting One side lightweight photodegrodoble
(1 lb/1000 sq. ft. approx. wt.)
One side heavyweight photodegrodoble
(3 lb/1000 sq. ft. approx. wt.)
Thread Cotton
Physical Specifications (Roll):
Width 6.5 foot (2m)
Length 83.5 foot (25.4m)
Weight 30 Ibs + 10% (13.6 kg)
Area 60 sq. yds. (5Om2)
Site Preparation
- Smooth grade and compact all areas to be covered with mot.
- Remove oil rocks, dirt clods, grass dumps, trash, and other
obstructions that will lift mat from ground surface.
Anchor Trenches
- The mat must be anchored at the upstream and downstream ends of
the protected area and intermittently in between.
- Excavate end trenches to a minimum of 12' deep and 6" wide
before placing mat.
- Dig intermittent check slots 6" deep by 6" wide transverse to
mat at approximotely 25' intervals.
SCALE: DATE: CLIENT:
NONE 8/25/93 K ROGE R
DRAWING nTLE: STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
Seeding
- Seed and fertilizer shall be spread before mot installation.
Seed type, fertilizer type, and rate of application shall
comply with seeding specifications.
Mat Placement
- Unroll mat flat side against the ground. Unroll mat in
direction parallel with direction of water flow.
- Mat should toy flat. DO NOT PULL MAT TAUT over ground.
Pulling tout may cause mot to bridge depressions in the
surface and allow erosion underneath.
- Beginning at up or downstream end bury transverse terminal end
of at to secure and prevent erosion flow underneath.
- Fold and secure mat snugly into all transverse check slots.
- Backfill and compact trenches and check slots after staking the
mot in bottom of trench ... see "Ground Fastening."
- Bury final terminal end as prescribed above.
- Overlap roll ends by 3' (min.) with unslope mat on top to
prevent uplift of mot end by water flow.
- Overlap adjacent edges of mot by 3' (min.) and stoke ... see
"Ground Fastening."
Ground Fastening
Metal pins or wood stokes are recommended for anchoring mat to
the ground surface. Metal pins should be 3/16' diameter steel
with 1 -1/2" diameter steel washer secured at head of pin. Wood
stakes should be 1 "x3' nominal stock cut in a trianculor shape.
Stokes should be 9' to 18' long depending on soil density.
Longer anchors are required for loose soils.
Note that ground fasteners different from those mentioned here
may function adequately. Care must be taken to assure that
fasteners hold mat securely at the surface and have sufficient
ground penetration to resist pullout.
- Stake mat to ground on 3 to 5 foot centers. Add extra stakes
at depressions in ground surface where mat bridges over to
assure ground conformity.
- Drive wood stakes to within 3" of ground surface. Do not drive
flush to surface. Steel or plastic pins should be driven flush
to surface.
- In all transverse terminal trenches and check slots, stake each
mat at its center and at overlapped edges before backfilling
and compacting.
- Stake overlaps longitudinally at 3' intervals.
