1.Stabilization Section 908
2.Riprap Section 1006
3.Geotextile Section 1060
B.Temporary Slope Drain
1.Stabilization Section 908
2.Riprap Section 1006
3.Pipe Culvert Section 1031
4.Wood Section 1041
C.Compost Filter Log
1.In accordance with the DNREC’s Delaware Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook.

(https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/watershed -stewardship/sediment -stormwater/ )

a.Filter Sock - 5-millimeter biodegradable HDPE material, 18 -inch minimum diameter.

907.3Construction.

A.Inspect weekly and immediately after every rainfall to maintain and make repairs as needed.
B.Check Dam
1.Stone
a.Construction

Construct the stone check dam perpendicular to the flow in sections of the swale or channel. Place riprap to completely cover the channel width. Construct the top of the stone check dam with the center lower than the outer edges in accordance with the Standard Construction Details.

b.Maintenance
i.Repair damage from washouts, construction traffic, or silt accumulation among the riprap or

whenever the stone check dam ceases to function as intended. ii. Remove sediment from behind the check dams when it has accumulated to 50 percent of the original height of the stone check dam at the spillway.

c.Removal
i.Remove temporary stone check dams only when directed by the engineer.

ii. Remove all riprap. WATER CONTROL PRACTICES SECTION 907 591 iii. Stabilize disturbed areas in accordance with Section 908 immediately after removing the check dams.

2.Compost Filter Log
a.Construction

Construct the compost filter log check dam perpendicular to the flow in sections of the swale or channel. Place the compost filter log to completely cover the width of the channel. Place the ends of the compost filter log along the banks of the swale or ch annel with the center lower than the outer edges as shown on Standard Construction Detail.

b.Maintenance
i.Repair damage from washouts, construction traffic, or silt accumulation among the logs or

whenever the compost filter log ceases to function as intended. ii. Remove sediment from behind the check dams when it has accumulated to 50 percent of the original height of the check dam at the spillway.

c.Removal
i.Remove temporary check dams only when directed by the engineer.

ii. Stabilize disturbed areas, in accordance with Section 908, immediately after removing the check dams.

C.Temporary Slope Drain
1.Construction
a.Install, grade, shape, and prepare embankment slopes, edge berms, and interceptor berms in

accordance with the contract and the Standard Construction Details.

b.Install a 15 -inch pipe for a maximum drainage area of 1 -acre.
c.Construct flexible pipe drains in accordance with Section 601. Provide flexible slope drains

with potential for length changes to adjust to the interim elevations. Fasten slope drains to the slope. Construct and install a plywood anti -seep collar as sho wn in the Standard Construction Details. Ensure that the temporary slope drain discharges into the back of sediment traps, into sediment basins, or into ditches discharging into sediment traps or basins. When a temporary slope drain empties into a sediment trap or basin, ensure that it discharges at the riser crest or weir elevation.

d.Construct riprap aprons in accordance with Section 707. Place the apron below the pipe

outlet. Provide a riprap apron in accordance with the Standard Construction Details.

e.Adjust the elevations of and reconstruct the slope drains so that the slope drains remain

functional as the embankment elevation rises.

2.Maintenance
a.Maintain embankment slopes, edge berms, and interceptor berms in accordance with Section

202.

b.Inspect the drain system for clogging or breaks. Clean and repair.
3.Removal

WATER CONTROL PRACTICES SECTION 907 592 a. Remove the temporary slope drain when the contributing drainage area is stabilized at a density of 70 percent as determined by the engineer. Stabilize areas disturbed by drain construction in accordance with Section 908 immediately after removal.

D.Compost Filter Log
1.Construction
a.Submit product technical data for preassembled logs for approval before use.
b.Assemble compost filter logs by tying a knot in 1 end of the filter sock, filling the sock with the

composted materials, and knotting the other end when at the desired length. Fill the filter sock leaving no gaps in compost. Keep large materials that would impede flow or create gaps out of the sock.

c.Angle the compost filter log upslope to prevent runoff from washing around the ends. Ensure

that the log ends are at least 1 -foot higher than the middle. Place hardwood stakes at a maximum of 4-feet on center through the middle of the compost filter log. Use hardwood stakes with the minimum dimensions of 2 -inches by 2 -inches and 3 -feet long. Set the stakes a minimum of 12 -inches below grade.

2.Maintenance
a.Replace torn, damaged, or flattened logs throughout the life of the contract.
b.Remove accumulated sediment when the sediment reaches 50 percent of the height of the

compost filter log.

3.Removal
a.Remove the compost filter log when the engineer determines it is no longer required.
b.Stabilize disturbed areas in accordance with Section 908.

907.4Method of Measurement.

A.The Department will measure the quantity of:
1.Stone check dam as the number of tons of riprap placed and accepted.
2.Temporary slope drain as the number of linear feet measured from end to end of pipe, installed

and accepted.

3.Compost filter log as the number of linear feet completed and accepted.

907.5Basis of Payment.

A.The Department will pay the quantity of water control practices at the contract unit price for each

acceptably placed. Price and payment constitute full compensation for:

1.Providing all materials;
2.excavating, backfill, and backfilling;
3.installation;
4.temporary stabilization;
5.maintenance;

WATER CONTROL PRACTICES SECTION 907 593 6. removal;

7.restoring the site; and
8.permanent stabilization.
B.The Department will pay the quantity of clearing and grubbing required for temporary swale

construction in accordance with Section 201.

C.The Department will not pay for replacement of riprap during the project construction period.
D.The Department will consider sediment removal as incidental to the water control practice item.
E.The Department will pay for additional pieces of slope drain the contractor added to existing

temporary slope drain in the same manner as payment for the existing temporary slope drain.

F.The Department will pay the quantity of edge berm according to Section 202.
