(minimum)Construction Considerations• Divert flow around the sand filter to protect it from sediment loads during construction. Ifsediment does enter the facility during construction, the contractor will be required to remove soilfrom the unit after the entire site has been stabilized, to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> the permitting agencyinspector.• Where underdrains are used, ensure that the minimum slope <strong>of</strong> the pipe is 0.5 (1/2) percent.Where only gravel filtered water conveyance is provided, slope the filter floor towards theweepholes at a minimum <strong>of</strong> 0.5 (1/2) percent.• Ensure that the inverts <strong>of</strong> the notches, multiple orifices, or weirs dividing the sedimentationchamber from the filtration basin are completely level. Otherwise, water will not arrive at thefiltration basin as sheet flow, and only the downgradient end <strong>of</strong> the filtration basin will function.• Inflow grates or slotted curbs may conform to the grade <strong>of</strong> the completed pavement as long as thefilters, notches, multiple orifices, and weirs connecting the sedimentation and filter chambers arecompletely level.• Level the top <strong>of</strong> the sand filter bed in the filtration basin; no slope is allowed.<strong>Stormwater</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> for the <strong>Sacramento</strong> and South Placer Regions<strong>May</strong> <strong>2007</strong>SF-9
