Isolate the swale site from sedimentation duringconstruction, either by use of effective erosion andsediment control measures upstream, or by delaying theexcavation of 300mm of material over the final subgradeof the swale until after all sediment-producing constructionin the drainage area has been completed (Maryland Dept.Environmental Resource Programs, 2001).2. Prevent natural or fill soils from intermixing with theInfiltration Drain Rock. All contaminated stone aggregatemust be removed and replaced (Maryland Dept.Environmental Resource Programs, 2001).3. Infiltration Drain Rock shall be installed in 300mm lifts andcompacted to eliminate voids between the geotextile andsurrounding soils (Maryland Dept. Environmental ResourcePrograms, 2001).4. Maintain grass areas to mowed height between 50mmand 150mm., but not below the design water quality flowlevel.
