SOIL COMPACTION TESTING LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED ARE RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR GRADED/DISTURBED AREAS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF BUILDING AND STRUCTURES OR ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS. MINIMUM TWO (2) TEST PITS PER LOT UP TO 1 ACRE OF DISTURBANCE.

FOR GRADED/DISTURBED AREAS WITHIN OPEN OR COMMON SPACES, SOIL COMPACTION TESTING SHALL BE PERFORMED AT TWO (2) TEST PITS PER ACRE OF OVERALL LIMIT OF DISTURBANCE, EVENLY DISTRIBUTED.

1. BAGS SHALL BE LOCATED FOR EASE OF CLEAN-OUT AND DISPOSAL OF TRAPPED SEDIMENT AND TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. BAGS SHALL NOT BE PLACED DIRECTLY IN RECEIVING WATERS. 2. SEDIMENT CONTROL BAGS MUST BE LOCATED AWAY FROM RECEIVING WATERS AND DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS. BAGS MAY NOT BE REUSED. BAGS MAY BE COMBINED WITH TEMPORARY FILTERS (SEE 3 BELOW) FOR ENHANCED FILTRATION. 3. FOR SMALL QUANTITIES OF PONDED WATER SUCH AS MAY BE FOUND IN SHALLOW EXCAVATIONS (SMALL TRENCHES, MANHOLE INSTALLATIONS, ETC.) A SEDIMENT FILTER MAY BE CONSTRUCTED USING COMBINATIONS OF HAY BALES, SMALL CLEAN STONE, AND FILTER FABRIC. THIS METHOD IS LIMITED TO SMALL QUANTITIES OF TRAPPED SURFACE WATER (PUMPING OF WELL POINTS IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS STANDARD) AND WHERE SEDIMENTS ARE NOT HIGHLY COLLOIDAL IN NATURE.

NDS RECOMMENDS NATIVE TOP SOIL FOR BACKFILL INSIDE THE PAVERS.

EXTEND TOP SOIL INSIDE PAVER AN ADDITIONAL 5 INCH ABOVE PAVER SURFACE AND MATCH SURROUNDING GRADE. PROPOSED

FINISHED GRADE SLOPE PER PROJECT GRADING PLAN. PROTECT PAVER AREA UNTIL GRASS IS SUFFICIENTLY ESTABLISHED TO HANDLE

TRAFFIC. PROVIDE 1" (MIN.) CLEARANCE BETWEEN ANY CONCRETE EDGE AND PAVER.

GRASS PAVERS ARE TO BE USED FOR AREAS OF PEDESTRIAN USE, EROSION CONTROL, AND OCCASIONAL VEHICULAR TRAFFIC USE

(E.G., OVERFLOW PARKING AND EMERGENCY/FIRE LANES).

SUBGRADE NATIVE SOIL:

COMPACT SUBGRADE NATIVE SOILS TO 95% STANDARD

PROCTOR DENSITY PER ASTM D696 FOR SOILS WITH CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO

>20%, R VALUE >30, AASHTO A-1, A-2, AND A-3 SOILS.

NDS RECOMMENDS THAT ENGINEER-OF-RECORD CONSIDER HIGHER LEVEL OF COMPACTION FOR CBR 5 TO 20%, R-VALUE 10 TO 30, AASHTO

A-4 SOILS FOR HEAVY LOADS WHERE INFILTRATION INTO NATIVE SOILS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.

NDS RECOMMENDS THAT ENGINEER-OF-RECORD CONSULT WITH PROJECT GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER FOR POTENTIAL SOIL MODIFICATION

STONE SIZE - USE 1-2 INCH STONE, OR RECLAIMED OR RECYCLED CONCRETE EQUIVALENT. LENGTH - NOT LESS THAN 50 FEET (EXCEPT ON A SINGLE RESIDENCE LOT WHERE A 30 FOOT MINIMUM LENGTH WOULD APPLY). THICKNESS - NOT LESS THAN SIX (6) INCHES. WIDTH - TWELVE (12) FOOT MINIMUM, BUT NOT LESS THAN THE FULL WIDTH AT POINTS WHERE INGRESS OR EGRESS OCCURS. TWENTY-FOUR (24) FOOT IF SINGLE ENTRANCE TO SITE. GEOTEXTILE - WILL BE PLACED OVER THE ENTIRE AREA PRIOR TO PLACING OF STONE. SURFACE WATER - ALL SURFACE WATER FLOWING OR DIVERTED TOWARD CONSTRUCTION ACCESS SHALL BE PIPED BENEATH THE ENTRANCE. IF PIPING IS IMPRACTICAL, A MOUNTABLE BERM WITH 5:1 SLOPES WILL BE PERMITTED. MAINTENANCE - THE ENTRANCE SHALL BE MAINTAINED IN A CONDITION WHICH WILL PREVENT TRACKING OR FLOWING OF SEDIMENT ON TO ROADWAYS. THIS MAY REQUIRE PERIODIC TOP DRESSING WITH ADDITIONAL STONE OR ADDITIONAL LENGTH AS CONDITIONS DEMAND AND REPAIR AND/OR CLEANOUT OF ANY MEASURES USED TO TRAP SEDIMENT. ALL SEDIMENT SPILLED, DROPPED, WASHE OR TRACKED ON TO ROADWAYS (PUBLIC OR PRIVATE) OR OTHER IMPERVIOUS SURFACES MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. PERIODIC INSPECTION AND NEEDED MAINTENANCE SHALL BE PROVIDED AFTER EACH RAIN. WHERE ACCUMULATION OF DUST/SEDIMENT IS INADEQUATELY CLEANED OR REMOVED BY CONVENTIONAL METHODS, A POWER BROOM OR STREET SWEEPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO CLEAN PAVED OR IMPERVIOUS SURFACES. ALL OTHER ACCESS POINTS WHICH ARE NOT STABILIZED SHALL BE BLOCKED OFF.

INDIVIDUAL LOT ENTRANCE AND EGRESS- AFTER INTERIOR ROADWAYS ARE PAVED, INDIVIDUAL LOT INGRESS/EGRESS POINTS MAY REQUIRE A STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE CONSISTING OF NO. 3 STONE (1" TO 2") TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE TRACKING OF SEDIMENTS. WIDTH OF THE STONE INGRESS/EGRESS SHALL BE EQUAL TO LOT ENTRANCE WIDTH AND SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF TEN FEET IN LENGTH

TIRE WASHING - IF SPACE IS LIMITED, VEHICLE TIRES MAY BE WASHED WITH CLEAN WATER BEFORE ENTERING A PAVED AREA. A WASH STATION MUST BE LOCATED SUCH THAT WASH WATER WILL NOT FLOW ONTO PAVED ROADWAYS OR INTO UNPROTECTED STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEMS.

WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION ACCESS EXITS ONTO A MAJOR ROADWAY, A PAVED TRANSITION AREA MAY BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE MAJOR ROADWAY AND THE STONED ENTRANCE TO PREVENT LOOSE STONES FROM BEING TRANSPORTED OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY BY HEAVY EQUIPMENT ENTERING OR LEAVING THE SITE.

MOWING IS A RECURRING PRACTICE AND ITS INTENSITY DEPENDS UPON THE FUNCTION OF THE GROUND COVER. ON HIGH TO MODERATE (A TO B) MAINTENANCE AREAS, SUCH AS LAWNS, CERTAIN RECREATION FIELDS, AND PICNIC AREAS, MOWING WILL BE FREQUENT (2 TO 7 DAY INTERVALS) AND TYPICALLY AT A HEIGHT OF 2.5 TO 3 INCHES. RETURN CLIPPINGS FROM MOWING (MULCHING MOWER) TO THE TURF TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE TURF BY AS MUCH AS 50%. SOME TURF MIXTURES CAN BE MANAGED AS NATURALIZED STANDS REQUIRING ONLY ONE (COOL SEASON MIXTURES) OR TWO (WARM SEASON MIXTURES) MOWINGS PER YEAR. MOWING OF NATURALIZED AREAS IS TYPICALLY DONE AT HEIGHTS NO LESS THAN 4 INCHES AND SHOULD NOT BE DONE BETWEEN APRIL 1ST AND JULY 15TH TO AVOID DISTURBING GROUND NESTING BIRDS. THE LARGE AMOUNT OF CLIPPING DEBRIS GENERATED BY MOWING NATURALIZED AREAS WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED AND/OR DISPERSED SO THE VEGETATION IS NOT SMOTHERED. BURNING OF NATURALIZED AREAS IS ANOTHER PROCEDURE USED TO MANAGE NATURALIZED TURFS. LOW MAINTENANCE (D) AREAS MAY BE LEFT UNMOWED TO PERMIT NATURAL SUCCESSION. SEE PG. 4-13 FOOTNOTE #4, MAINTENANCE LEVELS A, B, C AND D IN THE STANDARD FOR PERMANENT VEGETATIVE COVER, TABLE 4-3.

INCORPORATION OF ORGANIC MATTER (FOR EXAMPLE, MATURE COMPOST) INTO THE SOIL WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE NEED FOR FERTILIZER AND IBRIGATION INPUTS

FERTILIZER AND LIME SHOULD BE APPLIED AS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN A DENSE STAND OF DESIRABLE SPECIES. FREQUENTLY MOWED AREAS AND THOSE ON SANDY SOILS WILL REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT FERTILIZATION BUT AT LOWER NUTRIENT RATES PER APPLICATION. 3-1 STANDARDS FOR SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL IN NEW JERSEY JANUARY 2014.

LIME REQUIREMENT SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY SOIL TESTING EVERY 2 OR 3 YEARS. FERTILIZATION MAY INCREASE THE NEED FOR LIMING. CONTACT THE LOCAL COUNTY EXTENSION OFFICE FOR DETAILS ON SOIL TESTING AND FERTILIZATION AND PEST CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS ONLINE AT HTTP://NJAES.RUTGERS.EDU/COUNTY/.

FERTILIZATION AND ADDITIONS OF OTHER SOIL AMENDMENTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MANAGING NATIVE VEGETATION SUCH AS IN THE PINELANDS NATIONAL RESERVE. SEE THE STANDARD FOR PERMANENT VEGETATIVE STABILIZATION FOR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS IN THE PNR.

WEED INVASION MAY RESULT FROM ABUSIVE MOWING AND FROM INADEQUATE FERTILIZING AND LIMING. MANY NEWLY ESTABLISHED GRASSES WILL NOT SURVIVE IF MOWED AT HEIGHTS BELOW 2.5 INCHES AND AT INTERVALS GREATER THAN 7 DAYS. BRUSH INVASION IS A COMMON CONSEQUENCE OF LACK OF MOWING. THE AMOUNT OF WEEDS OR BRUSH THAT CAN BE TOLERATED IN ANY VEGETATED AREA DEPENDS UPON THE INTENDED USE OF THE LAND. DRAINAGE WAYS ARE SUBJECT TO RAPID INFESTATION BY WEED AND WOODY PLANTS. THESE SHOULD BE CONTROLLED, SINCE THEY OFTEN REDUCE DRAINAGE WAY EFFICIENCY. CONTROL OF WEEDS OR BRUSH IS ACCOMPLISHED BY USING HERBICIDES OR MECHANICAL METHODS.

FIRE HAZARD IS GREATER WHERE DRY VEGETATION HAS ACCUMULATED. THE TALLER THE VEGETATION, THE GREATER THE HAZARD.

PRUNE TREES AND SHRUBS TO REMOVE DEAD OR DAMAGED BRANCHES. REMOVE UNDESIRABLE OR OR INVASIVE PLANTS TO MAINTAIN INTEGRITY OF THE LANDSCAPE AND ENHANCE QUALITY OF PERMANENT VEGETATIVE COVER.

GEOTEXTILE TO BE FASTENED SECURELY TO FENCE POST BY USING WIRE TIES OR HOG RINGS. USE 4 TO 6 FASTENERS PER POST.

FENCE POSTS SHALL BE SPACED 8 FEET CENTER-TO-CENTER OR CLOSER. THEY SHALL EXTEND AT LEAST 2 FEET INTO THE GROUND AND EXTEND AT LEAST 2 FEET ABOVE GROUND. POSTS SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED OF HARDWOOD WITH A MINIMUM DIAMETER THICKNESS OF 11/2.

SPLICING OF INDIVIDUAL ROLLS SHALL NOT OCCUR AT LOW POINTS.

ALL SILT FENCE TO BE INSPECTED AND REMEDIAL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE CONTRACTOR WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER EACH RAINFALL. REMOVE THE SILT ACCUMULATION WHEN IT REACHES I/3 OF THE FENCE FABRIC HEIGHT.

FOR EVERY 100 FEET OF SILT FENCE, OR 1/4 ACRE OF DRAINAGE AREA, PROVIDE AN OVERFLOW POINT TO REDUCE PONDING IN FRONT OF THE FENCE.

FENCE POSTS SHALL BE SPACED 8 FEET CENTER-TO-CENTER OR CLOSER. THEY SHALL EXTEND AT LEAST 2 FEET INTO THE GROUND AND EXTEND AT LEAST 2 FEET ABOVE GROUND. POSTS SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED OF HARDWOOD WITH A MINIMUM DIAMETER THICKNESS OF 11/2. "SUPER" SILT FENCE- A METAL FENCE WITH 6 INCH OR SMALLER MESH OPENINGS AND AT LEAST 2 FEET HIGH MAY BE UTILIZED, FASTENED TO THE FENCE POSTS, TO PROVIDE REINFORCEMENT AND SUPPORT TO THE GEOTEXTILE FABRIC. POSTS MAY BE SPACED LESS THAN 8 FEET ON CENTER AND MAY BE CONSTRUCTED OF HEAVIER WOOD OR METAL AS NEEDED TO WITHSTAND HEAVIER SEDIMENT LOADING. THIS PRACTICE IS APPROPRIATE WHERE SPACE FOR OTHER PRACTICES IS LIMITED AND HEAVY SEDIMENT LOADING IS EXPECTED. "SUPER" SILT FENCE IS NOT TO BE USED IN PLACE OF PROPERLY DESIGNED DIVERSIONS WHICH MAY BE NEEDED TO CONTROL SURFACE RUNOFF RATES AND VELOCITIES.

A GEOTEXTILE FABRIC, RECOMMENDED FOR SUCH USE BY MANUFACTURER, SHALL BE BURIED AT LEAST 6 INCHES DEEP IN THE GROUND. THE FABRIC SHALL EXTEND AT LEAST 2 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND. THE FABRIC MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED TO THE POSTS USING A SYSTEM CONSISITING OF METAL FASTENERS (NAILS OR STAPLES) AND A HIGH STRENGTH REINFORCEMENT MATERIAL (NYLON WEBBING, GROMMETS, WASHERS ETC.) PLACED BETWEEN THE FASTENERS AND THE GEOTEXTILE FABRIC. THE FASTENING SYSTEM SHALL RESIST TEARING AWAY FROM THE POST. THE FABRIC SHALL INCORPORATE A DRAWSTRING IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE FENCE FOR ADDED STRENGTH.
