STRUCTURAL LEVEL SPREADER<br />

LOCATION - Structural level spreaders are usually individually designed to accommodate specific site<br />

conditions. These types of spreaders may be used below sediment traps, sediment basins, or<br />

stormwater pipes where no other means is available to discharge into a surface water.<br />

Structural level spreaders are often desirable where basins discharge to wetl<strong>and</strong>s, to encourage sheet<br />

flow rather than channel flow to the wetl<strong>and</strong>s. Other applications include sites where groundwater<br />

recharge is the objective. Because each site will be different, design criteria need to be flexible.<br />

However, the plan preparer should use sound engineering judgment, <strong>and</strong> provide documentation for<br />

the design criteria selected.<br />

Structural level spreaders should be constructed according to the st<strong>and</strong>ards provided in Appendix G or<br />

approved alternative.<br />
