Embankments<br />

The area under the embankment shall be cleared, grubbed, and stripped of any vegetation and root mat.<br />

Fill material used for the embankment shall be free of roots or other woody vegetation as well as<br />

oversized rocks, stones and organic materials. Embankments shall not exceed 5 ft. in height. The<br />

embankment shall be at least 1.5 feet above the outlet crest. The top width of embankments must be at<br />

least 4 ft. wide with side slopes of 2:1 or flatter. The embankment shall be compacted during its<br />

construction.<br />

Excavation<br />

Excavated side slopes shall not exceed 2:1 unless a safety fence is constructed around the trap area.<br />

Outlet<br />

Geotextile shall be placed over the bottom and slopes of the outlet spillway. Geotextile shall continue<br />

downstream of the embankment to form an apron on the surrounding ground. To prevent from flowing<br />

under the Geotextile, the sections placed nearest the front shall overlap the following sections by at least<br />

2 ft. Rock used in the outlet spillway shall be placed 1 ft. thick on the geotextile. The rock shall be<br />

between Type C and Type D rock where D 50 is about 8 in.<br />

Maintenance<br />

Sediment clean out shall prevent sediment from occupying more than 40% of the trap’s volume. When<br />

sediment is removed, the sediment trap shall be restored to its original dimensions. Removed sediment<br />

shall be deposited in a suitable area and stabilized so that it will not erode.<br />
