Tom Mountford Schutz, Jeremiah ~ NRCS, Fremont, NE Tuesday, December 09, 2014 8:01 AM tmountford@Ipnnrd org \Walkenhorst, Mark - NRCS, Wahoo, NE Fabric Checks Attachments: ‘SKMBT_C35314120908210.pdf Tom, | would like to present an idea I have a facilitate the installation of fabric checks for erosion control on existing and new grassed waterway construction, From 2012-2014 in Dodge County the NRCS has designed and completed 4 grassed waterways and we are currently designing 3 new waterways. The NRCS in Fremont would like to install fabric checks in all new waterways to eliminate the initial erosion issues that occur during grass establishment. These projects only require 100 ~ 150 ft of fabric and buying a bulk 600 ft roll increases the landowners cost. am requesting the NRD purchase this fabric material with the intent to sell to contractors. | would lke to store this material at the NRCS Field Offices and provide to contractors and landowners as needed. Attached is the material and design specification for fabric checks. Installation is completed with a small trencher, backhoe or silt fence plow.

GEOTEXTILE SCOPE This specification covers the quality of geotextiles GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Fibers (threads and yarns) used in the manufacture of geotextile shall consist of synthetic polymers composed of a minimum of 85 percent by weight polypropylenes, polyesters, polyamides, polyethylene, polyolefins, or polyvinylidene-chlorides. They shall be formed into a stable network of filaments or yarns xetaining @imensional stability relative to each other. The geotextile shall be free of defects and conform to the physical requirements contained in Tables 1 and 2. The geotextile shall be free of any chemical treatment or coating that significantly reduces its porosity. Fibers shall contain stabilizers and/or inhibitors to enhance resistance to ultraviolet light. Thread used for factory or field sewing shall be of contrasting color to the fabric and made of high strength polypropylene, polyester, or polyamide thread. Thread shall be as resistant to ultraviolet light as the geotextile being sewn. CLASSIFICATION Geotextiles shall be classified based on the method used to place the threads or yarns forming the fabric. The geotextiles will be grouped into the types described below: @. Woven. Fabrics formed by the uniform and regular interweaving of the threads or yarns in two directions. Woven fabrics shall be manufactured from monofilament yarn formed into a uniform pattern with distinct and measurable openings, retaining their position relative to each other. The edges of fabric shall be selvedged or otherwise finished to prevent the outer yarn from unraveling. 592-1 NRCS-Nebraska (3/00)
