Arriola Survey, Hardin County, Texas. SPECIFIC Detention Pond Construction: The contractor will be required to clear the site of all trees and shrubs, unless noted otherwise. Compaction requirements for the pond surface include scarifying the soil in place, compacting with tamping roller then bladed to leave a smooth surface. The top six-inches of excavated material, that is suitable for topsoil, shall be stockpiled to be used as topsoil within the limits of the construction area. After compaction efforts are completed the stockpiled topsoil shall be evenly spread over the surface of the detention pond, bladed to leave a smooth surface, and then seeded. Erosion control methods will be used on the detention pond slopes to prevent erosion. The Contractor shall dispose of any excess material in accordance with all City, State and Federal Regulations. Fill material for construction of the pond shall be composed of excavated material with a plasticity index between 10 and 25. The fill material shall be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of the maximum density as defined by the standard moisture-density relationship (ASTM D-698) with a moisture content within +/- 3% of optimum. All backfilling shall be constructed in layers of not more than six-inches thick. Inlet/Outlet Structure: An inlet structure will be constructed to direct flow into the detention pond. The upstream and downstream end will consist of reinforced concrete headwall, wing walls and aprons to prevent erosion. Conveyance channels will be constructed to direct runoff from Adler ditch through the upper portion of the detention pond to the lower portion of the detention pond. The pond outlet will discharge into the existing detention pond to allow for longer detention. A concrete low flow swale will be constructed to direct runoff to the control structures and minimize erosion. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SW3P): The Contractor will be required to prepare, implement, inspect and maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Guidance document will be prepared for the purpose of describing the areas to be disturbed and outlining control measures related to minimizing pollution related from storm water run-off leaving the site.
