• 5) Collection Ditches, Culverts and Diversion Design Parameters <br />These ditches will be earthen ditches constructed with either a small dozer or excavator. The ditches will <br />be designed for the following parameters: <br />(a) Most ditches will not need to be lined, however, any stretch of collection ditch which has <br />a velocity above 5.5 feet per second will be lined. Channel linings, including channel <br />riprap, will be designed using standard engineering practices to pass safely the design <br />velocities. Any stretch of diversion ditch which has a velocity above 4 feet per second will <br />be lined. These velocities assume the typical silty loam soil conditions on site. If better <br />conditions exist, the velocities will be allowed to increase without lining. If worse <br />conditions exist, lining may be needed for lower velocities. <br />(b) Freeboard will be a minimum of 0.3 feet. Protection will be provided for transition of <br />flows and for critical areas such as swales and curves when excessive velocities are <br />anticipated. <br />(c) Energy dissipators will be installed when necessary, such as at discharge points, where <br />• diversions intersect with natural streams and exit velocity of the diversion flow is greater <br />than that of the receiving stream. <br />(d) Excess excavated material not necessary for diversion channel geometry or regrading of <br />the channel will be disposed of in accordance with 4.09. <br />(e) Topsoil will be handled in compliance with 4.06. <br />(f) All ditches, culverts and diversions will be temporary, therefore peak flows will be <br />designed for the 10 year 24 hour event of 2.0 inches. <br />Diversion D1 will be designed, constructed, and maintained in a manner which prevents additional <br />contributions of suspended solids to stream flow and to runoff outside the permit area, to the extent <br />possible, using the best technology currently available. Appropriate sediment control measures for this <br />diversion may include, but not be limited to, maintenance of appropriate gradients, channel lining, <br />revegetation, roughness structures, and detention basins. No diversion will be located so as to increase <br />the potential for landslides. When no longer needed, each temporary diversion will be removed and the <br />affected land regraded, topsoiled, and revegetated in accordance with 4.06, 4.14, and 4.15. If the <br />. temporary diversion was for an ephemeral stream, the channel will be reestablished to functionally <br />blend with the undisturbed drainage above and below the area to be reclaimed. <br />ceevxsao 12/99) Attachment 2.05,3(3) -10-85 <br />
