## 2. Detailed Field Specifications by Service Category

### A. Silt Fence (Standard & Wire-Backed) & Perimeter Sediment Controls
- **Trenching & Compaction:** Fabric is trenched 6 inches deep by 6 inches wide along the down-slope perimeter and mechanically backfilled/compacted on the up-slope side to prevent runoff undercutting.
- **Wire-Backed Silt Fence:** Heavy-duty steel T-posts with welded wire mesh backing for high-velocity sheet flow, TxDOT right-of-way, and strict municipal MS4 jurisdictions (e.g., Fort Worth, Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, Arlington).
- **Perimeter & Channel Alternatives:** Compost filter socks, straw wattles, triangular sediment filter dikes, and rock check dams for bar ditches, swales, and hard-surface perimeters.

### B. Stabilized Construction Entrances & Concrete Washout Pits
- **Construction Exits:** 3-inch to 5-inch coarse bull rock / crushed aggregate installed to municipal thickness (8"+ depth) over non-woven geotextile separation fabric (typically 20'–30' wide by 50'+ long) to scrub mud from construction tires before entering public roadways.
- **Aggregate Refresh:** Top-dressing and re-grading existing entrances when heavy clay fouling occurs.
- **Concrete Washout Containment:** Lined portable or earthen-bermed washout structures with signage to prevent caustic high-pH concrete, mortar, or stucco wash water from contacting soil or storm drains.

### C. Curb Inlet, Drop Inlet & Area Drain Protection
- **Curb Inlet Protection:** Municipal-approved curb inlet sediment filters, gravel bags, and wire-backed rock socks with built-in high-flow overflow weirs to prevent street flooding while capturing sediment.
- **Drop & Area Inlets:** Silt-sack inserts, filter fabric wraps, and block-and-gravel protection for internal commercial and subdivision storm inlets prior to paving.

### D. Erosion Control Blankets, Hydromulch, Seeding & Sodding (70% Final Stabilization)
- **Erosion Control Blankets (ECB):** Single-net and double-net excelsior (Curlex), straw, and coconut/coir matting stapled on 3:1+ slopes, detention pond banks, and drainage channels.
- **Hydromulching & Seeding:** Wood fiber / bonded fiber matrix hydromulch with tackifier and seasonal Bermuda/Rye seed mixes across disturbed pads, right-of-ways, and lots.
- **Solid Sodding:** Bermuda and St. Augustine sod installation for parkways, curb returns, trickle channels, and final municipal CO sign-off.

### E. Ongoing BMP Maintenance, 7-Day Deficiency Repairs & Final Removal
- **7-Day Corrective Action Window:** TPDES TXR150000 requires ineffective or damaged BMPs noted on inspection reports to be repaired within 7 calendar days or before the next rain event. ProTex Erosion Control dispatches crews directly from inspection reports to re-trench silt fence, clean out sediment at 50% capacity, and replace damaged inlet filters.
- **End-of-Project BMP Tear-Out:** Complete removal and haul-off of temporary silt fence, stakes, wire, and inlet bags once 70% stabilization is achieved so operators can file their TCEQ Notice of Termination (eNOT).
