Maintain effective erosion control on the contributing watershed to prevent sedimentation and the resulting loss of capacity. Reestablish vegetative cover immediately where scour erosion has removed established seeding. Do not spray the diversion with herbicides intended for adjacent crops. Avoid crossing diversions during spray operations, and then cross only if the spray equipment is completely shut off. Fertilize diversions the first spring after seeding and thereafter as necessary to maintain a vigorous stand of grass. Mow diversions regularly to maintain a healthy, vigorous sod height within the retardance design range. The design height of the vegetation is ___ inches to ___ inches. Do not burn or overgraze the diversion. frequently for burrowing animals. When found, remove the burrowing animals, replace embankment materials, and reseed. Keep trees and brush from growing in the diversion. Regular mowing will control woody vegetation. Where rock checks, chutes or outlets are installed, replace any dislodged rock and fill back to grade if displacement or settlement occurs. Promptly repair all broken subsurface drain lines adjacent to or in the diversion and repair or replace any other damaged components as necessary. Each inlet for underground outlets must be kept clean and sediment buildup redistributed so that the inlet is at the lowest point. Inlets damaged by farm machinery must be replaced or repaired immediately. Redistribute sediment as necessary to maintain the capacity of the diversion. Vegetation shall be maintained and trees and brush controlled by hand, chemical and/or mechanical means. The ridge shall be kept free of weeds, shrubs, trees and burrowing animals. Keep machinery away from steep sloped ridges. Keep equipment operators informed of all potential hazards. Other Considerations: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DRY HYDRANT CODE 432 Landowner/Operator
