Straw Wattle Alternate Sediment Control <br />As shown on the final topography Map 2.05.4-1-3, portions of the Slash M, LLC (Morgan) property do not <br />drain directly to Pond 011. The Morgans have strongly expressed that they do not want collection ditches <br />on their property routing surface runoff to Pond 011 since the ditches will collect water and saturate the <br />crops, thus killing them. Also, the Morgans have expressed that their irrigation equipment, center pivots <br />and siderolls, will have difficulty operating across ditches. <br />Therefore, the Morgans have agreed with WFC on the use of straw wattles as a means of alternate <br />sediment control for their property. The material characteristics, installation guidelines, and design values <br />for the 9.0 inch diameter straw wattles which will be used on the Morgan property are shown on the <br />following pages. These straw wattles will be installed in the locations shown on Map 2.05.3(3)-1-2 to <br />ensure that sediment control is provided without the use of ditches. The wattles will be installed <br />immediately after successful soil replacement according to the permit. <br />Once vegetation is established on the irrigated area and erosion can be controlled by this vegetation, the <br />straw wattles will be removed when the requirement of Rule 4.05.2(2) are met and demonstrated to the <br />Division. Vegetation should be established rapidly since the property will have good soil and will be <br />irrigated and seeded with an initial cover crop to be determined by the landowner. <br />Revised December 2014 (TR -65) Attachment 2.05.3(3)-1-86 <br />
