Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
Install driveway.
A double row of machine sliced silt fence will be installed upstream and downstream of the driveway in the ditch before excavation is to begin. Machine sliced silt fence will also be installed along the driveway limits of the project.
Once erosion BMPs are in place we would proceed with the stripping of topsoil, installing culvert, and importing materials to bring the driveway to grade. Approximately 50 CU YD of fill is expected to be imported. Imported materials would be sandy fill material, class 5 base material. Topsoil would be salvaged for re-spread. After topsoil re-spread we would seed the ditch with a 33-261 seed mix along ditch areas that have been disturbed and 25-131 seed mix along all other disturbed areas. After 70% seed establishment we would then remove silt fence and bio-rolls.
Will you be removing vegetation during this project? Yes
