NOTES:

CONCRETE PAVED DITCHES SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH END ANCHORS ON BOTH

INLET AND OUTLET ENDS AND WITH INTERMEDIATE ANCHORS WHEN THE GRADE
EXCEEDS 15%. ALL EDGES AND JOINTS OF CONCRETE PAVED DITCHES SHALL
BE ROUNDED TO A RADIUS OF 1/4 ".

CORRUGATED METAL PIPE END SECTIONS MAY BE USED ON THE LOWER ENDS OF
STEEP CULVERTS OR DOWNSPOUTS WITH LIMITED AMOUNTS OF RUNOFF OR WHERE
THEY WOULD BE EXPOSED TO TRAFFIC IN THE CLEAR ZONE. CORRUGATED
METAL PIPE END SECTIONS IN THESE LOCATIONS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
EROSION CONTROL SUCH AS MORE RIPRAP. TOE PLATES SHOULD BE CALLED
FOR WHEN END SECTIONS ARE USED ON STEEP CULVERTS OR DOWNSPOUTS.

THE CONCRETE PAVED, GROUTED COBBLE, AND PLAIN COBBLE DITCHES SHALL
BE UNDERLAID WITH GEOTEXTILE. THE EDGES OF GEOTEXTILE SHALL EXTEND
UP THE SIDES OF THE DITCH BOTTOM TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MULCH BLANKET
AND SHALL RUN THE FULL LENGTH OF THE DITCH. WHEN OVERLAPPING
OCCURS, OVERLAP MATERIAL A MINIMUM OF 2’-0".

USE HIGH VELOCITY MULCH BLANKETS ON FILL SLOPES 1:2 OR STEEPER. USE
STANDARD MULCH BLANKETS ON FILL SLOPES FLATTER THAN 1:2.
