SOIL FILLING <br />0 Soil filling is suggested for optimum performance. <br />! After seeding, spread and lightly rake I/T•°/. in (12-19 mm) minimum of fine site soil or topsoil into the mat and completely fill the voids using <br />backside of rake or other flat tool. <br />! If equipment must operate on the mat, make sure it is of the rubber-tired type. No tracked equipment or sharp turns are allowed on the mat. <br />? Avoid any traffic over the mat If loose or wet sail conditions exist. <br />? Smooth soil-fill in order to just expose the top netting of matrix. Do not place excessive soil above the mat. <br />Broadcast additional seed and install a Landlokm ECS above the soil-filled mat (if desired). <br />! Hydraulically-applied mulch or seed maybe used as an alternate to soil-fill an select applications. Consult manufacturets technical <br />representative for more Information. <br />? Consult manufacturer's technical representative or local distributor for Installation essistance, particularly if unique conditions apply (sandy <br />soils and infertile environments). <br />MAINTENANCE <br />All slopes, channels, banks and other transition structures shall be maintained to assure the expected design life of the reinforced vegetated <br />system. Here are a few tips that should prove helpful: <br />0 Monitoring <br />• Should be conducted seml-annually and after major storm events. This should include: observing the condition of the vegetation; testing the <br />irrigation system; checking condition of at] permanent erosion control systems; observing sediment and debris deposits that need removal. <br />? Vegetation <br />• Repair and maintenance of various types of vegetation shall be consistent with their Original design intent, including: <br />Grass/Turf Areas. applications shalt be maintained for adequate cover and height. <br />Mowing: grasses shall be mowed according to normal maintenance schedules as determined by local jurisdictions or maintenance <br />agreements; operations shell not start until vegetation achieves a minimum height of 6 in (150 mm); mower blades shall be greater <br />than 8 in (150 mm) above the mat. <br />Urwegetated Areas: shall be re-seeded and soil•filled (it applicable). <br />Sediment and Debris Deposits <br />• Accumulation of sediment and debris can reduce the hydraulic capacity of channels, clog inlet and outlet structures and can damage <br />existing vegetation. Sediment and debris removal is a vital part of system maintenance. <br />• Removal: shall be done carefully to avoid damage. When excavation is within 12 in (300 mm) minimum of matting, removal shall be <br />done by hand or with a visual "spotter" If equipment must operate on the mat, make sure it is of the rubber-tired type. No tracked <br />equipment or sharp turns are allowed on the mat <br />• Alternatively, 'stake chasers' or some other form of permanent visual markers can be utilized to provide a visual marker for <br />maintenance activities. <br />? Damaged Sections <br />• Missing or damaged sections of the matting should be replaced per the installation guidelines, <br />Repairing Rips or Holes: these should be patched with identical matting material, First, carefully cut out the damaged section with a <br />knife. Then replace and compact soil to the elevation of the surrounding subgrade and plant seed. Cut a piece of replacement material <br />a minimum of 12 in (300 mm) larger than the rip or tear. Use ties to attach the replacement material to the existing material.At <br />overlaps, the upstream and upslope material should be on top. Secure the replacement material with ground anchoring devices spaced <br />every 6 in (150 mm) around the circumference of the repair and at the frequency and spacing shown in the Anchor Pattern Guide on <br />page 7.
