BANKS: PROBLEMS WITH IGNORING OFF ROW CONCERNS COMMON PRACTICES PROBLEMS Increased water on your road! Saturation of road base (potholes, etc) Excessive erosion of ditches and outlets Water brings additional sediment
BANKS: PROBLEMS WITH OFF ROW FACTORS COMMON PRACTICES IGNORE IT ORDINANCES NIGHT WORK
BANKS: PROBLEMS OFF WITH - ROW ORDINANCES COMMON PRACTICES DISCUSSION: Do you have an ordinance? What does it say or do? Do you enforce it? How can you improve it?

BANKS: PROBLEMS WITH COMMON PRACTICES Simply doing the work quietly.. RESULTS: Make friends with lawyers Can weaken relationships with constituents May limit scope of work possible

ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES HOW: SURFACE DRAINAGE PATTERNS SWALE CARRIES WATER TO SAFE OUTLET
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES HOW: Un-interrupted Slope Brings Water to Road RUNOFF FLOW TOP-SOIL BANK SUB-SOIL ROADWAY
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES HOW: FILL CUT TOP-SOIL BANK SUB-SOIL ROADWAY
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES HOW: Swale stops drainage from reaching road Old Bank Profile TOP-SOIL BANK SUB-SOIL ROADWAY
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES Wider is better!
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES WHEN: Unwanted sheet flow is entering road area A safe and stable outlet is available for swale
ESMP INTERCEPTOR SWALES PROS: Improved drainage of surrounding land Diverts water from road drainage system Prevents water from eroding bank Should not interfere with property use CONS: Concentrates surface water (need stable outlet) Landowner issues

ESMP THROUGH-DRAINS HOW: SPRING CROSSIPPES
ESMP THROUGH-DRAINS WHEN: Where concentrated water flows to the road bank
ESMP THROUGH-DRAINS Through-pipe carries clean water under road Road drainage carried over pipe
Road drainage carried over pipe ESMP THROUGH-DRAINS Through-pipe carries clean water under road
ESMP THROUGH-DRAINS PROS: Keeps clean water clean Reduces amount of water in road drainage system: more stable ditches and outlets CONS: May require creation of new channel
DMC- Need: Access drainage Veg management Physical traffic req.
