WATERBARS<br />

Waterbars, including slope breakers <strong>and</strong> interceptor dikes, should be installed across the entire right-ofway<br />

on all slopes.<br />

PA DEP<br />

Waterbars should be constructed at a slope of 2% <strong>and</strong> discharge to a well-vegetated area on the<br />

downslope side of the right-of-way. This may include wooded areas if the recommended spacing<br />

provided in Table 13.2 is followed. Waterbars should not discharge into an open trench. Obstructions,<br />

such as straw bales, silt fence, rock filters, compost socks etc. should not be placed in any waterbars.<br />

Where needed, they may be located below the discharge end of the waterbar.<br />

Waterbars need not be installed on residential lawns or in agricultural fields.<br />
