Documentation describing the quality
30、control program shall be madeavailable upon request.5.3 The manufacturers certificate shall state that the furnished silt fence materials meet the requirements of the controllingspecification as evaluated under the manufacturers quality control program. The certificate shall be attested to by a pers
31、on anauthorized officer of the company having legal authority to bind the manufacturer.5.4 Either mislabeling or misrepresentation of materials shall be reason to reject those silt fence materials.6. Shipment and Storage6.1 Silt fence labeling, shipment and storage shall follow Guide D4873. Product
32、labels shall clearly show the manufacturer orsupplier name, style name, and roll number. Each shipping document shall include a notation certifying that the material is inaccordance with the manufacturers certificate.6.2 Each silt fence roll may be wrapped with a material that will protect the geote
33、xtile from damage due to shipment, water,sunlight, and contaminants; however, silt fence that has been fabricated with wooden stakes shall not be wrapped due tocondensation rotting the stakes within the covering. If applicable, the protective wrapping shall be maintained during periods ofshipment an
34、d storage.6.3 During storage, silt fence rolls shall be elevated off the ground and adequately covered to protect them from thefollowingsite construction damage, precipitation, extended ultraviolet radiation including sunlight, strong acids or strong bases,flames including welding sparks, temperatur
35、es in excess of 160F 71C, 71 C, and any other environmental condition that maydamage the physical properties of the geotextile.7. Temporary Silt Fence Material Requirements7.1 The geotextile used for temporary silt fence in Table 1, may or may not be supported between posts with wire or polymericmes
36、h. The temporary silt fence geotextile shall meet the minimum requirements ofin Table 1. Grab strength and permittivity valuesin Table 1 represent minimum average roll values (MARV). Values for AOS represent maximum average roll values (MaxARV).Ultraviolet stability values are typical values.7.2 As
37、a general rule, the minimum height above ground for all silt fence should be 18 in. 450 mm 450mm and a maximumof 30 in. 750 mm, 750mm, see Note 3 discussing the maximum height above ground. Minimum embedment depth shall be 6in. 150 mm. Thus, as 150mm. As a general rule, the minimum silt fence width
38、should be 3 ft 900 mm.900mm.7.3 Under Table 1, maximum post spacing shall be based on the fabric support or, if unsupported, on elongation as measuredin accordance with Test Method D4632. Supported silt fence shall have a maximum post spacing of 10 ft 3m. Unsupported siltfence with elongation 50 % s
39、hall have a maximum post spacing of 4 ft 1.2m. Unsupported silt fence with elongation 50 %shall have a maximum post spacing of 6.5 ft 2m.7.4 The geotextile used for temporary silt fence in Table 2, shall be supported between posts with wire or polymeric mesh. Thetemporary silt fence geotextile shall
40、 meet the minimum requirements in Table 2. Grab strength and permittivity values in Table2 represent minimum average roll values (MARV).Values forAOS represent maximum average roll values (MaxARV). Ultravioletstability values are typical values.7.5 MaximumUnder Table 2post spacing shall be based on
41、the fabric support or, if unsupported, on elongation as measured inaccordance with Test Method , supported temporary D4632. Supported silt fence shall have a maximum post spacing of 10 ft 3m. Unsupported silt fence with elongation 50 % shall have a maximum post spacing of 4 ft 1.2 m. Unsupported sil
42、t fence withelongation 50 % shall have a maximum post spacing of 6.5 ft 2 m.4 ft 1.2m.NOTE 3The recommended maximum height of 30 in. 750 mm 750mm is designed to trap the flowing sediment without creating a seriousdownstream flooding problem if the silt fence experienced a total rupture. In addition,
43、 the maximum silt fence height must take into account theenvironmental conditions of the area of installation to, for example, avoid a situation where the silt fence could cause the level of the retained water torise to a level that would flood an adjacent structure. In that situation, it would be n
44、ecessary to use a lower height silt fence above ground and considerationshould be given to using multiple properly spaced silt fences to slow the velocity of the water flow and provide for additional silt collection without therisk of harmful flooding.8. Related Material Requirements8.1 Wood, When u
45、sing shorter silt fences, wood, steel, or synthetic support posts having a minimum length of 4 ft 1.2 m maybe used. They 3 ft 900mm may be used; however, in most cases a minimum 4 ft T Post would be recommended, the width ofD6461/D6461M 16a3the silt fence fabric would be the determining factor. The
46、posts shall have sufficient strength to resist damage during installationand to support the applied loads due to material build up behind the silt fence.NOTE 4It has been found that hardwood posts having dimensions of at least 1.2 by 1.2 in. 30 by 30 mm, 30mm, No. 2 Southern Pine at least 2.5by 2.5
