Infiltration Trenches Clause Samples
The 'Infiltration Trenches' clause defines the requirements and standards for the design, construction, and maintenance of infiltration trenches used for stormwater management. It typically outlines specifications such as trench dimensions, materials to be used (like gravel or geotextile fabric), and placement to ensure effective water infiltration into the ground. By setting these guidelines, the clause ensures that infiltration trenches function properly to reduce surface runoff, prevent flooding, and promote groundwater recharge, thereby addressing environmental and regulatory concerns related to stormwater control.
Infiltration Trenches a. At least twice a year and after significant rainfall events the Landowner is to inspect the infiltration trench and remove any accumulated debris, sediment and invasive vegetation.
b. Vegetation along the surface of an infiltration trench is to be maintained in good condition, and any bare spots are to be revegetated as soon as possible.
c. Vehicles are not to be parked or driven on an infiltration trench, and care is to be taken to avoid excessive compaction by mowers.
d. Any debris, such as leaves blocking flow from reaching an infiltration trench, is to be routinely removed.
Infiltration Trenches. Infiltration trenches are essentially leaky pipes in a stone-filled trench. Surface runoff or downspouts can be directed to infiltration trenches, where the stormwater drains out of a perforated pipe into the trench/gravel and then into the soil.
Infiltration Trenches. Construct infiltration trenches as shown in the Plans, or as modified by the Engineer, only after final grade and stabilization of drainage areas upstream of the infiltration trenches are completed to prevent contamination. If this is not feasible, stormwater flow shall be diverted around the trench and the trench area protected with temporary erosion and sediment control measures. Contractor shall maintain the infiltration trench after construction as outlined in the GDOT Stormwater System Inspection and Maintenance Manual until the project is turned over.
Infiltration Trenches. Infiltration trenches are measured for payment by the entire structure constructed at each location complete in place and accepted. Any pretreatment and any signage are included in the cost of the infiltration trench. Sod is incidental.
