Specifications include, but are not limited to: An abandoned sediment pond above the Hall residence has deteriorated such that the spillway no longer functions and the pond overtops during heavy rainfall. Water has inundated the yard around the home and an equipment shed, causing the property owners to fear that they could lose their home with another heavy rain event. To remediate the problem, the pond will be drained and covered using the material from the existing dam and surrounding area. Geogrid will be placed beneath the cover to provide stability. Drainage will be routed to a newly constructed ditch extending from above the pond to an existing tributary of Noisy Branch. The ditch will begin with 200 L.F. of ECB flat-bottom ditch (2 ft. bottom width and 2 ft. depth) and change to a concrete block-tied mat (CBTM) ditch of the same dimensions for 560 L.F. HDPE pipe is included as necessary for resident access. A subdrain will be required to move water away from the property, so 360 L.F. has been added to the estimate and will be installed as shown in the plans, with the subdrain daylighting in the CBTM ditch. To help prevent erosion, class II rock silt checks and a gabion weir have been included as depicted on the plans. It should be noted that a gas line and/or water line may exist within or near the Project Limits. Site preparation for the site includes clearing and grubbing of vegetation. Straw bales and silt fence are included to minimize erosion from the site. No trees larger than three inches in diameter, whether dead or alive, will be removed except during the designated time allowed unless they are on an unstable slope.
