that will receive maintenance is a total of 600’ (~0.11 miles).
The recommended sequence of construction is as follows:
1. Complete work in low flow conditions and install 12” compost filter sock downstream of the
earth disturbance areas before any excavation begins, as shown on plan drawings. Install bypass
pump system and sediment laden water pumping system, including a sediment filter bag. Refer
to Temporary Bypass detail. If existing natural pool shown on plan drawings is insufficient for
pump around use, construct sandbag coffer dam to raise its elevation as needed for pump
around use. This pool is located upstream of the proposed excavation area and away from any
earth disturbance. Refer to Sandbag Headwall/coffer dam detail. Begin pumping the water
around the proposed work area.
2. Remove existing culvert and excavate trench to accommodate the new structure. All material
excavated during the culvert removal shall be stockpiled away from areas affected by flood
waters or wetlands and stabilized within 24 hours.

existing grade below the top of the culvert.
6. Install grade controls as shown on the drawings, as well as streambed fill material. Install bank
armoring rock.
7. Remove bypass pumping system and (if installed) sand bag headwall/coffer dam, and incorporate
rock energy dissipator as grade control structure in stream.
