When a mulching <br />geotextile is used, seed is placed on the bank prior to placement of the fabric. Zoned bank <br />protection can be provided when the banks are rip-rapped up to the average water level, and <br />grasses and woody species are planted above the rock armoring along the banks using a mulching <br />geotextile. <br />Geotextile fabrics used below rip-rap should prevent movement and piping of fine particles while <br />allowing liquid to flow into the rip-rap. Finer filter blankets are required for clay-sized particles; <br />looser, larger opening sizes may be used with coarse-grained particles. The installation should <br />be perpendicular to the direction of flow, with sheets shingled in the direction of flow. Anchor <br />at the top of the bank at least 1-foot above the high water line. <br />Contact with a manufacturer's representa[ive to obtain specifics on the appropriate fabric for the <br />situation should be conducted. Be prepared to specify the side slopes and bottom slopes of [he <br />channel, the type of soil, whether there are elevated sodium concentra[ions or other conditions tha[ <br />make the soil highly dispersive, how plastic the soil is, [he percen[age of gravel and the grading <br />of the gravels. The representative will determine the equivalent operting size (EOS) of the woven <br />fabric based on the soil type and the average diameter of the rip-rap. <br />.,.aae~,.e~,~ i..we D~ <br />
