All review comments have been addressed in the plans with the exception of comment number three, which states, "Handicap Access. The Parking lot shown on Sheet 10 of 10 contains handicap spaces; however, the majority of the trails are not handicap accessible (soil and rock trails). " The Civil War Preservation Trust [CWPT] and Anderson & Associates, Inc. [A&A] are aware of this and have planned the site in this way deliberately. It is the belief of the CWPT and A&A that while handicap access to all site features and trails is unfeasible, it is worthwhile to provide accessible parking at the Red Bud Road parking lot. The initial portion of trail from this parking lot will be asphalt paved with little grade change, allowing handicap access to the first field and series of interpretive displays.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The purpose of this project is to construct a series of trails totaling approximately 4.04 miles, interpretive kiosks and signs, and a parking area on the site of the Third ' Winchester Battlefield. The proposed land -disturbing activities consist of earthwork associated with the trail and parking lot construction, including the related erosion and sediment control measures as shown on the plans. Approximately 7.5 acres of the ' 222.3-acre property will be disturbed to construct this project. ' B. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS The site presently exhibits a surface cover of 97.7 acres pasture (43.9% of the 222.3 acres), and 124.6 acres is forested (56.1 % of the total site). While no overall ' pattern of slope is evident throughout the site, several unnamed ephemeral and perennial tributaries drain the site into Red Bud Run, which crosses the property in the northwest portion. Those areas of the site not draining to Red Bud Run drain to Ash - Hollow Run — a tributary of Abrams Creek. Both Red Bud Run and Abrams Creek discharge into Opequon Creek. Slopes on site range from almost flat through the majority of the area, up to approximately 25% along Red Bud Run and in select other ' locations. The entire area currently draining to Red Bud Run and Ash Hollow Run is 5,923.7 acres. All existing vegetation that is outside of the limits of construction will remain undisturbed. ' C. ADJACENT AREAS t The site is bounded on the north by forested land and pasture, to the east by Millbrook High School, to the south by a medium density residential neighborhood, and the west by Interstate-81 and additional pasture land. ' D. OFF -SITE AREAS There will be no off -site areas disturbed during construction of this project. ' E. SOILS ' According to the Frederick County Soil Survey, the following soils are found within the project site. Soils type Berks-Clymer (1 B & 1 C), Berks-Lowell-Rayne (313 & 3C), Carbo and Chilhowie (913), French (14B), Hayter (20B), Udorthents and Urban Land (29), Pagebrook (35), Pits/Quarries (36), and Weikert-Berks — ' various slopes (41 C, 41 D, & 41 E). The soils present on site range generally from sandy -loam to clay -loam, are typically deep and, with the exception of flood -plain o2ii aios ' ARA ESC & SIVAI Narrative — Third {f'inchewtcr Battlefield Plan (IN 22397) soils, well drained. The site soils are generally favorable for the type recreational development planned for this project. F. CRITICAL AREAS Moderate to sever slopes constitute the majority of the critical areas within this project. Both the north and south slopes along Red Bud Run exceed 20% in some locations. Extra caution should be used in these areas to prevent gullying during trail construction. Additionally, as indicated by the plans, appropriate measures must be ' taken to prevent sediment transport at those locations where trail construction intersects ephemeral stream channels throughout the project site. G. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES The following measures will be used to control erosion and sediment -laden runoff on this project. The Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (VESCH) Standards and Specifications for each measure are included in Appendix D of this report (including all details on installation and maintenance of the structure). Additional ' discussion of management strategies and sequence of construction is included in Section J below. 1. Construction Entrance: will be used to reduce the transfer of sediment onto public roads. (VESCH Standard and Spec. 3.02) 2. Construction Road Stabilization: will reduce the erosion of temporary roadbeds by construction traffic during wet weather and will reduce the erosion and subsequent regrading of permanent roadbeds between the time of initial grading and final ' stabilization. (VESCH Standard and Spec. 3.03) 3. Silt Fence: will be used to intercept and detain small amounts of sediment from disturbed areas during construction operations and to prevent sediment from leaving the site. (VESCH Standard and Spec. 3.05) 4. Culvert Inlet Protection: will be used to prevent sediment from entering a culvert prior to permanent stabilization of the site. (VESCH Standard and Spec. 3.08) 5. Permanent Seeding: will be used to establish vegetative cover and to reduce silt runoff for any areas not paved or roofed. Permanent stabilization shall be applied to areas that are to be left dormant for more than one year. (VESCH Standard and Spec. 3.32) ' H. PERMANENT STABILIZATION ' After the construction is completed, the site will be permanently stabilized with a combination of gravel pavement and permanent seeding in accordance with VESCH Standard and Specification 3.32. All seeding times, required soil testing, fertilizer, and ' liming specifications are outlined in the Handbook. 3 PE ESC & SIVA1 Narrative — Third lVinchester Battlefield Plan (IN 22397) J STORMWATER RUNOFF CONSIDERATIONS Run-off from the project site contributes to two tributaries. One is Red Bud Run, which discharges directly into Opequon Creek, and the other is Ash Hollow Run — a tributary of Abram's Creek, which discharges into Opequon Creek. The drainage area at the point of analysis (discharge into Opequon Creek) for Red Bud Run is 4,961.4 acres. The portion of the project site within this drainage area is 106.5 acres. The remaining 115.8 acres of the site is part of the Ash Hollow Run drainage area, which totals 962.3 acres at its point of analysis — where it discharges into Abram's Creek. The drainage area affected by the project site totals 5,923.7 acres. See map in Appendix C. The nature of the proposed land development and the actual acreage affected by development is insignificant in terms of increasing downstream flows. Site alterations will be limited to the addition of trails and their associated features. The area affected by trails built on site is outlined in the following chart.

MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES / SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION Perimeter erosion and sediment control measures shall be installed as the first step in construction operations, prior to clearing the site. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be maintained in accordance with VESCH Standards and Specifications during the course of construction. Upon achievement of final stabilization of the site, temporary erosion and sediment control measures shall be removed, any remaining sediment deposits shall be cleaned up, and the areas shall be stabilized with permanent seeding. The following is the recommended sequence of installation for the erosion and sediment control measures: 1. Construction Entrance 2. Silt Fencing 3. Culvert Protection 4. Construction Road Stabilization 5. Permanent Seeding Removal of these measures shall occur as permanent measures are put into place. Once all work on site involving heavy equipment has been accomplished, fencing and construction entrances can be removed. 4 ARAM ESC & SIVAI Narrative — Third lVinchester Battlefield Plan (JN 22397) K. L. MAINTENANCE All erosion and sediment control structures and systems shall be maintained, inspected, and repaired as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended function. In general, all erosion and sediment control measures shall be checked after each runoff -producing rainfall. The following items shall be checked in particular: 1. The construction entrance shall be checked to ensure that the stone does not become clogged with mud. 2. The seeded areas shall be checked regularly to ensure that a good stand of grass is maintained. Areas should be fertilized and reseeded as needed. 3. Silt fences shall be cleaned out when the sediment level reaches one-half the height of the silt fence. Specific requirements related to inspection and maintenance of each erosion control measure are discussed in the VESCH Standards and Specifications included in Appendix C. The contractor shall be responsible for maintenance of all erosion control measures to the satisfaction of local review authorities, as well as the installation of additional measures as needed to ensure that sediment -laden runoff does not leave the site. RESPONSIBLE LAND DISTURBER For the purposes of plan approval, the engineer of record will be the Responsible Land Disturber. Upon award of the contract, the Contractor shall designate a person who is certified by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) as a Responsible Land Disturber. DCR shall be invited to the preconstruction conference and the Responsible Land Disturber shall be transferred to the Contractor's designated person prior to the beginning of construction. 61 AWA ESC & S{i'il1 Narrative — Third ►Vinchester Battlefield Plan (JN 22397) APPENDIX A Vicinity Map 02/1 Appendix A — Vicinity Map y I���y1/y{'' � •- �u `. s'-'----;.__3�jj/I�//yam / ' \� i • / I 1 • r 1 � `ice ! , J• �. � ...�--� :,,�� 'y,� � \ \ i � j: 173 _ (',�,,.._ �.f � 4,•,'-' w1 _tidy //�� � .. �' � - - . ) _ %'� • - >c.

Purpose To reduce the amount of mud transported onto paved public roads by motor vehicles or runoff. Conditions Where Practice Applies Wherever traffic will he leaving a construction site and move directly onto a public road or other paved area. 1992 Planning�Considerations 3.02 Minimum Standard # 17 (MS # 17) requires that provisions be made to minimize the transport of sediment by vehicular traffic onto a paved surface. Construction entrances provide an area where a significant amount of mud can be removed from construction vehicle tires before they enter a public road and, just as important, the soil adjacent to the paved surface can be kept intact. A filter fabric liner is used as a "separator" to minimize the dissipation of aggregate into the underlying soil due to construction traffic loads. If the action of the vehicles traveling over the gravel pad is not sufficient to remove the majority of the mud or there exists an especially sensitive traffic situation on the adjacent paved road, the tires must be washed before the vehicle enters the public road. If washing is necessary, provisions must be made to intercept the wash water and trap the sediment so it can be collected and stabilized. Construction entrances should be used in conjunction with the stabilization of construction roads (see Std. & Spec. 3.03, CONSTRUCTION ROAD STABILIZATION) to reduce the amount of mud picked up by construction vehicles and to do a better job of mud removal. Other innovative techniques for accomplishing the same purpose (such as a bituminous entrance) can be utilized, but only after specific plans and details are submitted to and approved by the appropriate Plan -Approving Authority. Design Criteria Aggregate Size VDOT # 1 Coarse Aggregate (2- to 3-inch stone) should be used. Entrance Dimensions The aggregate layer must be at least 6 inches thick; a minimum three inches of aggregate should be placed in a cut section to give the entrance added stability and to help secure filter cloth separator. It must extend the full width of the vehicular ingress and egress area and have a minimum 12-foot width. The length of the entrance must be at least 70 feet (see Plate 3.02-1). Washing If conditions on the site are such that the majority of the mud is not removed by the vehicles traveling over the stone, then the tires of the vehicles must be washed before entering the public road. Wash water must be carried away from the entrance to a approved settling area to remove sediment. All sediment shall be prevented from entering storm drains, ditches, or watercourses. A wash rack may also be used to make washing more convenient and effective (see Plate 3.02-1). Location The entrance should be located to provide for maximum utilization by all construction vehicles. III-7 1992 Construction Specifications 3.02 The area of the entrance must be excavated a minimum of 3 inches and must be cleared of all vegetation, roots, and other objectionable material. The filter fabric underliner will then be placed the full width and length of the entrance. Following the installation of the filter cloth, the stone shall be placed to the specified dimensions. If wash racks are used, they should be installed according to manufacturer's specifications. Any drainage facilities required because of washing should be constructed according to specifications. Conveyance of surface water under entrance, through culverts, shall be provided as required. If such conveyance is impossible, the construction of a "mountable" berm with 5:1 slopes will be permitted. The filter cloth utilized shall be a woven or nonwoven fabric consisting only of continuous chain polymeric filaments or yarns of polyester. The fabric shall be inert to commonly encountered chemicals and hydrocarbons, be mildew and rot resistant, and conform to the physical properties noted in Table 3.02-A. Maintenance The entrance shall be maintained in a condition which will prevent tracking or flow of mud onto public rights -of -way. This may require periodic top dressing with additional stone or the washing and reworking of existing stone as conditions demand and repair and/or cleanout of any structures used to trap sediment. All materials spilled, dropped, washed, or tracked from vehicles onto roadways or into storm drains must be removed immediately. The use of water trucks to remove materials dropped, washed, or tracked onto roadways will not be permitted under any circumstances. III - 8 1992 3.02 STONE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE, 70' MIN.

Purposes 1. To reduce the erosion of temporary roadbeds by construction traffic during wet weather. 2. To reduce the erosion and subsequent regrading of permanent roadbeds between the time of initial grading and final stabilization. Conditions Where Practice Applies Wherever stone -base roads or parking areas are constructed, whether permanent or temporary, for use by construction traffic. 1992 Planning Considerations 3.03 Areas which are graded for construction vehicle transport and parking purposes ate ' especially susceptible to erosion. The exposed soil surface is continually disturbed, leaving no opportunity for vegetative stabilization. Such areas also tend to collect and transport runoff waters along their surfaces. During wet weather, they often become muddy t quagmires which generate significant quantities of sediment that may pollute nearby streams or be transported off site on the wheels of construction vehicles. Dirt roads can become so unstable during wet weather that they are virtually unusable. , Immediate stabilization of such areas with stone may cost money at the outset, but it may actually save money in the long run by increasing the usefulness of the road during wet ' weather. Permanent roads and parking areas should be paved as soon as possible after grading. However, it is understandable that weather conditions or the potential for damage may not make paving feasible in the early phases of the development project. As an alternative, the early application of stone may solve potential erosion and stability problems and eliminate later regrading costs. Some of the stone will also probably remain in place for use as part of the final base course in the construction of the road. Specifications Temporary Access Roads and Parking Areas 1. Temporary roads shall follow the contour of the natural terrain to the extent ' possible. Slopes should not exceed 10 percent. 2. Temporary parking areas should be located on naturally flat areas to minimize grading. Grades should be sufficient to provide drainage but should not exceed 4 percent. 3. Roadbeds shall be at least 14 feet wide for one-way traffic and 20 feet wide for two- way traffic. 4. All cuts and fills shall be 2:1 or flatter to the extent possible. 5. Drainage ditches shall be provided as needed and shall be designed and constructed in accordance with STORMWATER CONVEYANCE CHANNEL, Std. & Spec. 3.17. 6. The roadbed or parking surface shall be cleared of all vegetation, roots and other objectionable material. III - 12 ' 1992 3.03 ' 7. A 6-inch course of VDOT #1 Coarse Aggregate shall be applied immediately after grading or the completion of utility installation within the right-of-way. Filter fabric may be applied to the roadbed for additional stability. Design specifications for filter ' fabric can be found within Std. & Spec. 3.02, TEMPORARY STONE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE. In "heavy duty" traffic situations (see Table 3.02- A), stone should be placed at an 8- to 10-inch depth to avoid excessive dissipation ' or maintenance needs. ' Permanent Roads and Parking Areas Permanent roads and parking areas shall be designed and constructed ' in accordance with applicable VDOT or local criteria except that an initial base course of gravel of at least 6 inches shall be applied immediately following grading. IVe etation ' All roadside ditches, cuts, fills and disturbed areas adjacent to parking areas and roads shall be stabilized with appropriate temporary or permanent vegetation according to the applicable standards and specifications contained in this handbook. Maintenance Both temporary and permanent roads and parking areas may require periodic top dressing with new gravel. Seeded areas adjacent to the roads and parking areas should be checked periodically to ensure that a vigorous stand of vegetation is maintained. Roadside ditches and other drainage structures should be checked regularly to ensure that they do not become clogged with silt or other debris. X --x x— �c .1.05 STD & SPEC 3.05 SILT FENCE SF Definition A temporary sediment barrier consisting of a synthetic filter fabric stretched across and attached to supporting posts and entrenched. Purposes 1. To intercept and detain small amounts of sediment from disturbed areas during construction operations in order to prevent sediment from leaving the site. 2. To decrease the velocity of sheet flows and low -to -moderate level channel flows. III - 19 1992 3.05 Conditions Where Practice Applies 1. Below disturbed areas where erosion would occur in the form of sheet and rill erosion. 2. Where the size of the drainage area is no more than one quarter acre per 100 feet of silt fence length; the maximum slope length behind the barrier is 100 feet; and the maximum gradient behind the barrier is 50 percent (2:1). 3. In minor swales or ditch lines where the maximum contributing drainage area is no greater than 1 acre and flow is no greater than 1 cfs. 4. Silt fence will not be used in areas where rock or some other hard surface prevents the full and uniform depth anchoring of the barrier. Planning Considerations Laboratory work at the Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council (VHTRC) has shown that silt fences can trap a much higher percentage of suspended sediments than straw bales, though silt fence passes the sediment -laden water slower. Silt fences are preferable to straw barriers in many cases because of their durability and potential cost savings. While the failure rate of silt fences is lower than that of straw barriers, many instances have been observed where silt fences are improperly installed, inviting failure and sediment loss. The installation methods outlined here can improve performance and reduce failures. As noted, flow rate through silt fence is significantly lower than the flow rate for straw bale barriers. This creates more ponding and hence more time for sediment to fall out. Table 3.05-A demonstrates these relationships. Both woven and non -woven synthetic fabrics are commercially available. The woven fabrics generally display higher strength than the non -woven fabrics and, in most cases, do not require any additional reinforcement. When tested under acid and alkaline water conditions, most of the woven fabrics increase in strength, while the reactions of non -woven fabrics to these conditions are variable. The same is true of testing under extensive ultraviolet radiation. Permeability rates vary regardless of fabric type. While all of the fabrics demonstrate very high filtering efficiencies for sandy sediments, there is considerable variation among both woven and non -woven fabrics when filtering the finer silt and clay particles. Design Criteria 1. No formal design is required. As with straw bale barriers, an effort should be made to locate silt fence at least 5 feet to 7 feet beyond the base of disturbed slopes with grades greater than 7%.

The use of silt fences, because they have such a low permeability, is limited to situations in which only sheet or overland flows are expected and where concentrated flows originate from drainage areas of 1 acre or less. 3. Field experience has demonstrated that, in many instances, silt fence is installed too short (less than 16 inches above ground elevation). The short fence is subject to breaching during even small storm events and will require maintenance "clean outs" more often. Properly, supported silt fence which stands 24 to 34 inches above the existing grade tends to promote more effective sediment control. Construction Specifications Materials 1. Synthetic filter fabric shall be a pervious sheet of propylene, nylon, polyester or ethylene yarn and shall be certified by the manufacturer or supplier as conforming to the requirements noted in Table 3.05-13. 2. Synthetic filter fabric shall contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum of six months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of0°Fto 120'F. 3. If wooden stakes are utilized for silt fence construction, they must have a diameter of 2 inches when oak is used and 4 inches when pine is used. Wooden stakes must have a minimum length of 5 feet.

' Wire fence reinforcement for silt fences using standard -strength filter cloth shall be a minimum of 14 gauge and shall have a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches. Installation 1. The height of a silt fence shall be a minimum of 16 inches above the original ground surface and shall not exceed 34 inches above ground elevation. III - 22 1992 3.05 2. The filter fabric shall be purchased in a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to avoid the use of joints. When joints are unavoidable, filter cloth shall be spliced together only at a support post, with a minimum 6-inch overlap, and securely sealed. 3. A trench shall be excavated approximately 4-inches wide and 4-inches deep on the upslope side of the proposed location of the measure. 4. When wire support is used, standard -strength filter cloth may be used. Posts for this type of installation shall be placed a maximum of 10-feet apart (see Plate 3.05-1). The wire mesh fence must be fastened securely to the upslope side of the posts using heavy duty wire staples at least one inch long, tie wires or hog rings. The wire shall extend into the trench a minimum of two inches and shall not extend more than 34 inches above the original ground surface. The standard -strength fabric shall be stapled or wired to the wire fence, and 8 inches of the fabric shall be extended into the trench. The fabric shall not be stapled to existing trees. 5. When wire support is not used, extra -strength filter cloth shall be used. Posts for this type of fabric shall be placed a MaX111111111 of 6-feet apart (see Plate 3.05-2). The filter fabric shall be fastened securely to the upslope side of the posts using one inch long (minimum) heavy-duty wire staples or tie wires and eight inches of the fabric shall be extended into the trench. The fabric shall not be stapled to existing trees. This method of installation has been found to be more commonplace than #4. 6. If a silt fence is to be constructed across a ditch line or swale, the measure must be of sufficient length to eliminate endflow, and the plan configuration shall resemble an arc or horseshoe with the ends oriented upslope (see Plate 3.05-2). Extra -strength filter fabric shall be used for this application with a maximum 3-foot spacing of posts. -FA All other installation requirements noted in #5 apply. The 4-inch by 4-inch trench shall be backfilled and the soil compacted over the filter fabric. Silt fences shall be removed when they have served their useful purpose, but not before the upslope area has been permanently stabilized.

Silt fences shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall. Any required repairs shall be made immediately. 2- Close attention shall be paid to the repair of damaged silt fence resulting from end runs and undercutting. 3. Should the fabric on a silt fence decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still be necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly. 4. Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event. They must be removed when deposits reach approximately one-half the height of the barrier. 5.

III - 26 1992 3.08 STD & SPEC 3.08 CULVERT INLET PROTECTION ciP 1 Definition A sediment filter located at the inlet to storm sewer culverts. 2. Purposes To prevent sediment from entering, accumulating in and being transferred by a culvert and associated drainage system prior to permanent stabilization of a disturbed project area. To provide erosion control at culvert inlets during the phase of a project where elevation and drainage patterns change, causing original control measures to be ineffective or in need of removal. ,x fit, K: Cat~ _y.�� :�^ .ir• - ,,,':� �. .Y.��-,. III - 46 1992 Conditions Where Practice Applies Where culvert and associated drainage system is to be made operational prior to permanent stabilization of the disturbed drainage area. Different types of structures are applicable to different conditions (see Plates 3.08-1 and 3.08-2). Planning Considerations When construction on a project reaches a stage where culverts and other storm sewer appurtenances are installed and many areas are brought to a desired grade, the erosion control measures used in the early stages normally need to be modified or may need to be removed altogether. At that time, there is a need to provide protection at the points where runoff will leave the area via culverts and drop or curb inlets. Similar to drop and curb inlets, culverts which are made operational prior to stabilization of the associated drainage areas can convey large amounts of sediment to natural drainageways. In case of extreme sediment loading, the pipe or pipe system itself may clog and lose a major portion of its capacity. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to prevent sediment from entering the culvert by using one of the methods noted in this section. General Guidelines (All Types) 1. The inlet protection device shall be constructed in a manner that will facilitate clean - out and disposal of trapped sediment and minimize interference with construction activities. 2. The inlet protection devices shall be constructed in such a manner that any resultant ponding of stormwater will not cause excessive inconvenience or damage to adjacent areas or structures. 3. Design criteria more specific to each particular inlet protection device will be found in Plates 3.08-1 through 3.08-2. Design Criteria 1. Silt Fence Culvert Inlet Protection a. No formal design is required. b. Silt fence culvert inlet protection has an expected maximum usable life of three months. C. The maximum area draining to this practice shall not exceed one acre III - 47 1992 2. G�ilvert Inlet Sediment Trap L 1: a. Runoff storage requirements shall be in accordance with information outlined under Std. & Spec. 3.13, TEMPORARY SEDIMENT TRAP. b. Culvert inlet sediment traps have a maximum expected useful life of 18 months. C. The maximum area draining to this practice shall not exceed 3 acres. Construction Specifications 1. Silt Fence Culvert Inlet Protection a. The height of the silt fence (in front of the culvert opening) shall be a minimum of 16 inches and shall not exceed 34 inches. b. Extra strength filter fabric with a maximum spacing of stakes of 3 feet shall be used to construct the measure. C. The placement of silt fence should be approximately G feet from the culvert in the direction of incoming flow, creating a "horseshoe" shape as shown in Plate 3.08-1. d. If silt fence cannot be installed properly or the flow and/or velocity of flow to the culvert protection is excessive and may breach the structure, the stone combination noted in Plate 3.08-1 should be utilized. 2. Culvert Inlet Sediment Trap a. Geometry of the design will be a "horseshoe" shape around the culvert inlet (see Plate 3.08-2). b. The toe of riprap (composing the sediment filter dam) shall be no closer than 24" from the culvert opening in order to provide an acceptable emergency outlet for flows from larger.storm events. C. All other "Construction Specifications" found within Std. & Spec. 3.13, TEMPORARY SEDIMENT TRAP, also apply to this practice. C. The proper installation of the culvert inlet sediment trap is a viable substitute for the installation of the TEMPORARY SEDIMENT TRAP.

Temporary structures shall be removed when they have served their useful purpose, but not before the upslope area has been permanently stabilized. 1992 3.32 STD & SPEC 3.32 PERMANENT SEEDING PS Definition Fhe establishment of perennial vegetative cover on disturbed areas by planting seed. Purposes 1. To reduce erosion and decrease sediment yield from disturbed areas. To permanently stabilize disturbed areas in a manner that is economical, adaptable to site conditions, and allows selection of the most appropriate plant materials. 3. To improve wildlife habitat. 4. To enhance natural beauty. 111 - 289 1992 3.32 Conditions Where Practice Applies 1. Disturbed areas where permanent, long-lived vegetative cover is needed to stabilize the soil. 2. Rough -graded areas which will not be brought to final grade for a year or more. Planning, Considerations Vegetation controls erosion by reducing the velocity and the volume of overland flow and protecting the bare soil surface from raindrop impact. Areas which must be stabilized after the land has been disturbed require vegetative cover. The most common and economical means of establishing this cover is by seeding grasses and legumes. Permanent vegetative covers must meet the requirements of Minimum Standard #3. Advantages of seeding over other means of establishing plants include the small initial establishment cost, the wide variety of grasses and legumes available, low labor requirement, and ease of establishment in difficult areas. Disadvantages which must be dealt with are the potential for erosion during the establishment stage, a need to reseed areas that fail to establish, limited periods during the year suitable for seeding, the potential need for weed control during the establishment phase, and a need for water and appropriate climatic conditions during germination. There are so many variables in plant growth that an end product cannot be guaranteed. Much can be done in the planning stages to increase the chances for successful seeding. ' Selection of the right plant materials for the site, good seedbed preparation, and conscientious maintenance are important. SELECTING PLANT MATERIALS: The factors affecting plant growth are climate, soils, ' and topography. In Virginia, there are three major physiographic regions that reflect changes in soil and topography. In selecting appropriate plant materials, one should take ' into account the characteristics of the physiographic region in which the project is located (see Plate 3.32-1). PHYSIOGRAPHIC REGIONS: ' Coastal Plain - Soils on the Coastal Plain are deeply weathered, stratified deposits ' of sand and clay. They are generally acidic and low in plant nutrients. The sandy soils are hot and droughty in summer. This region receives more rain and is warmer than the other regions of the state. The land is fairly level, and many areas are ' poorly drained. Warm season grasses traditionally perform well in these areas. L III - 290 11 1992 3.32 t m, as ' H ' O C� .9Y / J / / 4 : �'A ":ii: �:v'• � • r1 U Source: Va. DSWC Plate 3.32-1 ' III - 291 1992 3.32 Piedmont - Soils on the Piedmont plateau are highly variable. They tend to be shallow, with clayey subsoils. Piedmont soils are low in phosphorus. Soils derived from mica schist are highly erodible. Topography is rolling and hilly. The southern Piedmont has much the same climate as the Coastal Plain. Often referred to as the "transition zone" in planting. Contains areas that will support both warm or cool season grasses. Appalachian and Blue Ridge Region - This region is divided into plateaus, mountains, and narrow valleys. Soils tend to be shallow and acid, and may erode rapidly on steep slopes. Shaley slopes are often unstable and droughty. This area is colder and drier than the rest of the State. The rugged topography makes plant establishment difficult. Cool season grasses are normally specified in this region. SOILS: On the whole, soils in Virginia always require some nitrogen (N) fertilization to establish plants. Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are usually needed. Except for some small pockets of shallow limestone soils, lime is universally needed. Soils can be modified with lime and fertilizer, but climate cannot be controlled. For this reason, the State has been divided into two major climatic regions, referred to as the Northern Piedmont and Mountain Region and the Southern Piedmont and Coastal Plain Region, for grass and legume selection (see map, Plate 3.32-2). Microclimate, or localized climate conditions, can affect plant growth. A south -facing slope is drier and hotter than a north -facing slope, and may require drought -tolerant plants. Shaded areas require shade -tolerant plants; the windward side of a ridge will be drier than the leeward, etc. LAND USE: A prime consideration in selecting which plants to establish is the intended use of the land. All of these uses - residential, industrial, commercial, recreational - can be separated into two major categories: high -maintenance and low -maintenance. High -maintenance areas will be mowed frequently, limed and fertilized regularly, and will either receive intense use (e.g., athletics) or require maintaining to an aesthetic standard (home lawns). Grasses used for these situations must be fine -leaved and attractive in appearance, able to form tight sod, and be long-lived perennials. They must be well -adapted to the geographic area where they are planted, because constant mowing puts turf under great stress. Sites where high -maintenance vegetative cover is desirable include homes, industrial parks, schools, churches, athletic playing surfaces as well as some recreational areas. Low -maintenance areas will be mowed infrequently or not at all; lime and fertilizer may not be applied on a regular basis; the areas will not be subjected to intense use, nor required to have a uniform appearance. These plants must be able to persist with little maintenance over long periods of time. Grass and legume mixtures are favored for these sites because legumes are capable of fixing nitrogen from the air for their own use, and the use of the plants around them. Such mixed stands are better able to withstand adverse conditions. III - 292 1992 3.32 Sites that would be suitable for low -maintenance vegetation include steep slopes, stream or channel banks, some commercial properties, and "utility turf' areas such as roadbanks. Seedbed Preparation - The soil on a disturbed site must be modified to provide an optimum environment for seed germination and seedling growth. The surface soil must be loose enough for water infiltration and root penetration. The pH (acidity and alkalinity) of the soil must be such that it is not toxic and nutrients are available, usually between pH 6.0-7.0. Sufficient nutrients (added as fertilizer) must be present. After seed is in place, it must be protected with a mulch to hold moisture and modify temperature extremes and to prevent erosion while seedlings are grovAng. The addition of lime is equally as important as applying fertilizer. Lime is best known as a pH, or acidity, modifier, but it also supplies calcium and magnesium which are plant nutrients. Its effect on pH makes other nutrients more available to the plant. It can also prevent aluminum toxicity by making aluminum less soluble in the soil. Many soils in Virginia are high in aluminum, which stunts the growth of plant roots. MAINTENANCE: Even with careful, well -planned seeding operations, failures can occur. When it is clear that plants have-not germinated on an area or have died, these areas must be reseeded immediately to prevent erosion damage. However, it is extremely important to determine for what reason germination did not take place and make any corrective action necessary prior to reseeding the area. Healthy vegetation is the most effective erosion control available. Specifications Selection of Plant Materials 1. Selection of plant materials is based on climate, topography, soils, land use, and planting season. To determine which plant materials are best adapted to a specific site, use Tables 3.32-A and 3.22-13 which describe plant characteristics and list recommended varieties. 2. Appropriate seeding mixtures for various site conditions in Virginia are given in Tables 3.32-C, 3.32-D and 3.32-E. These mixtures are designed for general use, and are known to perform well on the sites described. Check Tables 3.32-A and 3.32-13 for recommended varieties. 3. A more extensive description of plant materials (grasses and legumes), their usage and pictorial representation can be found in Appendix 3.32-c. 4. When using some varieties of turfgrasses, the Virginia Crop Improvement Association (VCIA) recommended turfgrass mixtures may also be used. Consumer protection programs have been devised to identify quality seed of the varieties recommended by the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service.

III - 304 1992 Seedbed Requirements 3.32 Vegetation should not be established on slopes that are unsuitable due to inappropriate soil texture, poor internal structure or internal drainage, volume of overland flow, or excessive steepness, until measures have been taken to correct these problems. To maintain a good stand of vegetation, the soil must meet certain minimum requirements as a growth medium. The existing soil must have these characteristics: 1. Enough fine-grained material to maintain adequate moisture and nutrient supply. 2. Sufficient pore space to permit root penetration. A bulk density of 1.2 to 1.5 indicates that sufficient pore space is present. A fine granular or crumb -like structure is also favorable. 3. Sufficient depth of soil to provide an adequate root zone. The depth to rock or impermeable layers such as hardpans shall be 12 inches or more, except on slopes steeper than 2:1 where the addition of soil is not feasible. 4. A favorable pH range for plant growth. If the soil is so acidic that a pI-I range of 6.0-7.0 cannot be attained by addition of pl-I-modifying materials, then the soil is considered an unsuitable environment for plant roots and further soil modification would be required. 5. Freedom from toxic amounts of materials harmful to plant growth. 6. Freedom from excessive quantities of roots, branches, large stones, large clods of earth, or trash of any kind. Clods and stones may be left on slopes steeper than 3:1 if they do not significantly impede good seed soil contact. If any of the above criteria cannot be met, i.e., if the existing soil is too coarse, dense, shallow, acidic, or contaminated to foster vegetation, then topsoil shall be applied in accordance with TOPSOILING, Std. & Spec. 3.30. Necessary structural erosion and sediment control practices will be installed prior to seeding. Grading will be carried out according to the approved plan. Surfaces will be roughened in accordance with SURFACE ROUGHENING, Std. & Spec. 3.29. Soil Conditioners In order to modify the texture, structure, or drainage characteristics of a soil, the following materials may be added to the soil: III - 305 1992 3.32 1. Peat is a very costly conditioner, but works well. If added, it shall be sphagnum moss peat, hypnum moss peat, reed -sedge peat or peat humus, from fresh -water sources. Peat shall be shredded and conditioned in storage piles for at least six months after excavation. 2. Sand shall be clean and free of toxic materials. Sand modification is ineffective unless you .are adding 80 to 90% sand on a volume basis. This is extremely difficult to do on -site. If this practice is considered, consult a professional authority to ensure that it is done properly. 3. Vermiculite shall be horticultural grade and free of toxic substances. It is an impractical modifier for larger acreage due to expense. 4. Raw manure is more commonly used in agricultural applications. However, when stored properly and allowed to compost, it will stabilize nitrogen and other nutrients. Manure, in its composted form, is a viable soil conditioner; however, its use should be based on site -specific recommendations offered by a professional in this field. 5. Thoroughly rotted sawdust shall have 6 pounds of nitrogen added to each cubic yard and shall be free of stones, sticks, and toxic substances. 6. The use of treated sewage sludge has benefitted from continuing advancements in its applications in the agricultural community. When composted, it offers an alternative soil amendment. Limitations include a potentially undesirable pH (because of lime added during the treatment process) and the possible presence of heavy metals. This practice should be thoroughly evaluated by a professional and be used in accordance with any local, state, and federal regulations. Lime and Fertilizer Lime and fertilizer needs should be determined by soil tests. Soil tests may be performed by the Cooperative Extension Service Soil Testing Laboratory at VPI&SU, or by a reputable commercial laboratory. Information concerning the State Soil Testing Laboratory is available from county extension agents. Reference Appendix 3.32-d for liming applications (in lbs.) needed to correct undesirable pH for various soil types. Under unusual conditions where it is not possible to obtain a soil test, the following soil amendments will be applied: Lime Coastal Plain: 2 tons/acre pulverized agricultural grade limestone (90 lbs./1000 ft 2). Piedmont and Appalachian Region: 2 tons/acre pulverized agricultural grade limestone (90 lbs./1000 ft 2). III - 306 7 1992 3.32 Note: An agricultural grade of limestone should always be used. Fertilizer Mixed grasses and legumes: 1000 lbs./acre 10-20-10 or equivalent nutrients (23 lbs./ 1000 ft.2). Legume stands only: 1000 lbs./acre 5-20-10 (23 lbs./ 1000 ft.2) is preferred; however, 1000 lbs./acre of 10-20-10 or equivalent may be used. Grass stands only: 1000 lbs./acre 10-20-10 or equivalent nutrients, (23 lbs./1000 ft.2). Other fertilizer formulations, including slow -release sources of nitrogen (preferred from a water quality standpoint), may be used provided they can supply the same amounts and proportions of plant nutrients. Incorporation - Lime and fertilizer shall be incorporated into the top 4-6 inches of the soil by discing or other means whenever possible. For erosion control, when applying lime and fertilizer with a hydroseeder, apply to a rough, loose surface. Seeding 1. Certified seed will be used for all permanent seeding whenever possible. Certified seed is inspected by the Virginia Crop Improvement Association or the certifying agency in other states. The seed must meet published state standards and bear an official "Certified Seed" label (see Appendix 3.32-a).

Legume seed should be inoculated with the inoculant appropriate to the species. Seed of the Lespedezas, the Clovers and Crownvetch should be scarified to promote uniform germination. 3. Apply seed uniformly with a broadcast seeder, drill, culti-packer seeder, or hydroseeder on a firm, friable seedbed. Seeding depth should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch. 4. To avoid poor germination rates as a result of seed damage during hydroseeding, it is recommended that if a machinery breakdown of 30 minutes to 2 hours occurs, 50% more seed be added to the tank, based on the proportion of the slurry remaining in the tank. Beyond 2 hours, a full rate of new seed may be necessary. Often hydroseeding contractors prefer not to apply lime in their rigs as it is abrasive. In inaccessible areas, lime may have to be applied separately in pelletized or liquid form. Surface roughening is particularly important when hydroseeding, as a roughened slope will provide some natural coverage of lime, fertilizer and seed. Legume inoculants should be applied at five times the recommended rate when inoculant is included in the hydroseeder slurry. Mulching All permanent seeding must be mulched immediately upon completion of seed application. Refer to MULCHING, Std. & Spec. 3.35. Maintenance of New Seedings In general, a stand of vegetation cannot be determined to be fully established until it has been maintained for one full year after planting. Irrigation: New seedings should be supplied with adequate moisture. Supply water as needed, especially late in the season, in abnormally hot or dry weather, or on adverse sites. Water application rates should be controlled to prevent excessive runoff. Inadequate amounts of water may be more harmful than no water. Re -seeding: Inspect seeded areas for failure and make necessary repairs and re- seedings within the same season, if possible. a. If vegetative cover is inadequate to prevent rill erosion, over -seed and fertilize in accordance with soil test results. b. If a stand has less than 40% cover, re-evaluate choice of plant materials and quantities of lime and fertilizer. The soil must be tested to determine if acidity or nutrient imbalances are responsible. Re-establish the stand following seedbed preparation and seeding recommendations. III - 308 11 1992 3.32 Fertilization: Cool season grasses should begin to be fertilized 90 days after planting to ensure proper stand and density. Warm season fertilization should begin at 30 days after planting. Apply maintenance levels of fertilizer as determined by soil test. In the absence of a soil test, fertilization should be as follows: Cool Season Grasses 4 lbs. nitrogen (N) 1 lb. phosphorus (P) \ Per 1000 ft.2 per year 2 lbs. potash (K) / Seventy-five percent of the total requirements should be applied between September 1 and December 31st. The balance should be applied during the remainder of the year. More than 111). of soluble nitrogen per 1000 ft.2 should not be applied at any one time. Warm Season Grasses Apply 4-5 lbs. nitrogen (N) between May 1 and August 15th per 1000 ft.2 per year. Phosphorus (P) and Potash (K) should only be applied according to soil test. Note: The use of slow -release fertilizer formulations for maintenance of turf is encouraged to reduce the number of applications and the impact on groundwater.

The most effective times for establishing perennial grass in Virginia generally extend from March through May and from August through October. Outside ' these dates, the probability of failure is much higher. If the time of year is not suitable for seeding a permanent cover (perennial species), a temporary cover crop should be planted. Temporary seeding of annual species (small grains, ryegrasses or millets) often succeeds ' during periods of the year that are unsuitable for seeding permanent (perennial) species. Variations in weather and local site conditions can modify the effects of regional climate on ' seeding success. For this reason, mixtures including both cool and warm season species are preferred for low -maintenance cover, particularly in the Coastal Plain. Such mixtures promote cover which can adapt to a range of conditions. Many of these mixtures are not ' desirable, however, for high quality lawns, where variation in texture of the turf is inappropriate. It is important to note that in Virginia the establishment of 100% warm season grasses in a high quality lawn is limited to the extreme eastern portions of the ' Coastal Plain. Selection ' Species selection should be considered early in the process of preparing an erosion and sediment control plan. A variety of vegetation can be established in Virginia due to the , diversity in both soils and climate. However, for practical, economical stabilization and long-term protection of disturbed sites, species selection should be made judiciously. ' Seasonality must be considered when selecting species. Grasses and legumes are usually classified as warm or cool season in reference to their season of growth. Cool season plants realize most of their growth during the spring and fall and are relatively inactive or dormant ' during the hot summer months. Therefore, fall is the most favorable time to plant them. Warm season plants "green -up" late in the spring, grow most actively during the summer, and go dormant at the time of the first frost in fall. Spring and early summer are preferred planting times for warm season plants. Seed Mixtures ' As previously noted, the establishment of high quality turf frequently involves planting one ' single species. However, in seedings for erosion control purposes, the inclusion of more than one species should always be considered. Mixtures need not be excessive in poundage or seed count. The addition of a quick -growing annual provides early protection and ' facilitates establishment of one or two perennials in a mix. More complex mixtures might include a quick -growing annual, one or two legumes and more than one perennial grass. I1I - 312 ' 1992 3.32 ' The addition of a "nurse" crop (quick -growing annuals added to permanent mixtures) is a sound practice for soil stabilization, particularly on difficult sites - those with steep slopes; ' poor, rocky, erosive soils; those seeded out the optimum seeding periods; or in any situation where the development of permanent cover is likely to be slow. The nurse crop gernunates and grows rapidly, holding the soil until the slower -growing perennial seedlings become ' established.

In Virginia, the grains used for soil stabilization are primarily Rye and Oats. Foxtail Millet, which is sometimes considered a small grain, is becoming a very popular and successful planting for soil stabilization. 1. Oats (Avenasativa): A cool season annual grass primarily grown for animal feed and human consumption, but also used for soil stabilization. Oats are seeded in early spring in the western part of the state (winter oats may be sown in the Coastal Plain). Seeding rates are 3 bushels (100 lbs.) per acre bare ground or 2-1/2 lbs. per 1000 square feet. 2. Rye (Secale cereale): Often referred to as Winter Rye because of its winter hardiness, Rye is the most common small grain used for soil stabilization. It is also the most productive grain on dry, infertile, acid or sandy soils. It may be seeded in the fall for winter ground cover. By maturing early, it offers less competition during the late spring period, a critical time in the establishment of perennial species. Rye grain germinates quickly and is tolerant of poor soils. Including Rye grain in fall -seeded mixtures is almost always advantageous, but it is particularly helpful on difficult and erodible soils, erodible slopes or when seeding is late. Rates up to 100 lbs. for bare ground. Overly thick stands of Rye grain will suppress the growth of perennial seedlings. Approximately 50 lbs. per acre is the maximum for this purpose and, where lush growth is Rye (Secale cereale) III = 315 1992 expected, that rate should either be cut in half, or Rye grain should be totally eliminated from the mixture. 3. Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica): A warm season annual grass which may be used for temporary cover. German Millet (variety commonly used in Virginia) germinates quickly and goes to seed quickly. These features make it an excellent companion grass for summer seedlings. It dies at first frost. Seeding rates are up to 50 lbs. per acre for temporary cover. Use 10 to 20 lbs. per acre in mixes. 4. Annual Rye (Lolium multiflorum): A cool season annual grass used for temporary cover or as a nurse grass to allow for germination of permanent stands. Most commonly used in mixes for erosion control. Performs well throughout the state in neutral to slightly acid soils. Rates up to 100 lbs. per acre for temporary cover. Use 10 to 201bs. per acre in mixes. 3.32 Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica) Annual Rye (Lolium multiflorum) III - 316 1992 1 3.32 ANNUAL LEGUMES Annual Lespedezas (Lespedeza striata) Uses: Pasture, hay, erosion control, soil improvement, wildlife food. Description: Annual warm season legumes. Korean Lespedeza is larger and coarser than Common Lespedeza and grows to about 12 inches. Seed of Korean is shiny and black, while seed of Common is stippled. Kobe is the most desirable variety of Common Lespedeza. Adaptation: Throughout Virginia. Optimum pli range is 6.0 to 6.5; Will grow from 5.5 to 7.0. Will grow in soil textures ranging from sands to clays and through a wide range of fertility conditions. Establishment: Seed should always be inoculated. May be seeded alone or mixed with grasses or small grains. Requires a firm seedbed; may be broadcast or drilled. Should be seeded in early spring at 25 to 40 lbs. per acre or one-half to 1 lb. per 1000 square feet, depending on use. (Use lower figure as half the seeding rate of any spring seeding with grass or grain.) Should not be mowed at less than three inches. Lespedeza will not snake a large contribution in sod grasses like Bluegrass; they do best in open sod grasses like tall fescue. Sources: Seed of common variety (Kobe) and Korean varieties (Climax, Harbin and Rowan) are commercially available. Annual Lespedezas (Lespedeza striata) III - 317 7 1992 1. 3.32 PERENNIALS Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) Uses: Pasture, hay, recreation areas, lawns and stabilization of waterways, banks, slopes, cuts, fills, and spoils. It is the most widely used. grass at this time for stabilizing large disturbed areas. Description: A robust, cool season, long-lived, deep-rooted bunchy grass which may have short rhizomes (underground stems). Kentucky 31 is the best-known variety. A number of new varieties of Tall Fescue are becoming available for lawn and other fine -turf uses, and several offer definite improvements. However, their higher cost over the old standby, KY 31, is seldom justified when used for purposes of stabilization and erosion control. Tall Fescue tolerates a wide range of seeding dates; however, with the possible exception of high mountain elevation, it is most dependable when planted in fall. Adaptation: Adapts well to both high and low maintenance uses throughout Virginia. Adapted to a wide range of climatic conditions. Optimum pH range is 6.0 to 7.0; will tolerate from 3.0 to 8.0. Will grow on shallow and claypan soils if they are moist. Growth is limited more by moisture than by temperature extremes, but it will tolerate drought, infertile soils and moderate shade. Establishment: Requires a firm seedbed. Hydroseeding is successful. Seeding rates vary from 100 lbs. per acre for erosion control to 250 lbs. per acre for lawns. Plant in early spring or from the middle of August through September. Legumes may not thrive in fescue stands due to the aggressive growth habits of this grass. Mowing is desirable on critical areas at least once every two years; lack of periodic mowing will encourage clumpiness. Sources: Readily available as seed and sod. III - 318 Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) I I 1992 3.32 2. Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratense) Uses: Pasture, turf for lawns, athletic fields, golf courses, and playgrounds., Also used to stabilize waterways, slopes, cuts and fills. Choice food for grouse, turkeys, deer and rabbits. Description: Long-lived, cool season perennial grass which forms a dense sod. Becomes dormant in the heat of summer since its growing season is spring and fall. Adaptation: Best adapted to well - drained, fertile soils of limestone origin and the climate of northern and western Virginia. Optimum pH range is 6.0 to 7.0. Bluegrasses are better suited to high maintenance situations in the transition zone. Essentially dormant during dry or hot weather; however, it will normally survive severe drought. Establishment: Requires a firm, weed -free seedbed and adequate fertilization (liberal phosphorus) and lime are important. Can be used with Tall Fescues at low rates. Minimum mowing height is 1-1/2 inches. Critical erosion areas may be mowed only once per year, if desired. This grass is usually seeded with a mixture of other grasses or legumes; several varieties of Bluegrass should be used together to ensure good stand survival. Bare ground rates are 120 lbs. per acre. Overseed 1 to 1-1/2 per 1000 square feet. Sources: Readily available as seed and sod. Kenhicky Bluegrass (Poa pratense) III - 319 1992 3.32 3 Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perrenne) Uses: Erosion control, soil improvement, lawns, pasture, and hay; newer varieties are excellent for high -traffic areas. Description: Perennial Ryegrasses are an excellent selection where rapid establishment is desired. Cool season. Ryegrasses cross- pollinate freely so "Common Ryegrass" may be a mixture of annual and perennial species. Certified seed of Perennial Ryegrass varieties is produced: Blaser, Palmer, Goalie, Fiesta II, Ranger, Regal and Pennfine may be used in Virginia. Adaptation: Throughout Virginia. Grows best on dark, rich soils in mild climates. Newer varieties have good drought tolerance but may require irrigation if under drought stress or heavy traffic. Will tolerate wet soils with good surface drainage. Establishment: A firm, mellow surface over compact subsoils gives good results. Seed in fall or spring. Perennial Ryegrass may also be seeded in mid -August to early September. For turf, use a rate of 5 to 8 lbs. per 1000 square feet, if seeded alone; lesser amounts are suitable in mixtures, depending on the characteristics of the companion species. Generally not seeded alone except on athletic fields with intensive use. Perennial Ryegrass does best when used with bluegrass as 20 percent or less of the mixture. Ryegrasses germinate rapidly which makes them 'particularly suited to disturbed -area stabilization and temporary Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perrenne) III - 320 I I 1992 seeding. They will, however, tend 1 to dominate stands in mixtures if percentage is too high. Sources: Readily available ' commercially. Care should be taken to buy seed appropriate to the needs of the project. u 11 L' r 0 3.32 F III - 321 n1 1992 4. 3.32 Fine Fescues * Red Fescue * Hard Fescue * Chewings Fescue Uses: Excellent for shady, low maintenance areas and north -facing slopes. May be used to stabilize waterways, slopes, banks, cuts, fills, and as a cover crop in orchards. Description: Red Fescue is a cool season perennial that occurs in two forms: bunch - type and creeping. Creeping Red Fescue forms a tight sod. The leaves of Red Fescue are narrow and wiry. Hard Fescues are slow -growing with excellent shade tolerance. Adaptation: Shade tolerant and somewhat drought -resistant once established. Grows well in sandy and acidic soils. Optimum pH range is 4.5 to 6.0. Prefers well - drained soils but requires adequate moisture for establishment. In areas of high temperature and humidity (such as southeastern Virginia), some Fine Fescues may turn brown or deteriorate during the summer. Newer varieties of Hard Fescue are more drought tolerant. Establishment: Rarely seeded in pure stands. Seedbed preparation and fertility adjustments are usually dictated by the other grasses in the mixture. Red Fescues may comprise 25 to 60% by weight of a seeding mixture. In shaded areas red fescue may be the key grass in the mixture. Mowing consistently below 1-1/2 is not recommended. Sources: Readily available commercially. New Hard Fescues may be in short supply. III - 322 Red Fescue (Festuca rubra) I �1 7 7 I I 11 1992 a 3.32 Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylion) Uses: Soil and water conservation, pasture, hay, silage, lawns, both high maintenance and general purpose turf, and stabilization of grassed waterways. Description: A long-lived, warm season perennial that spreads by stolons and rhizomes (runners and underground stems). Height of stems of Common Bermudagrass may be 12 inches. The stems are short -jointed and the leaves flat and spreading. Common Bermudagrass may be established vegetatively with sprigs (sections of stems) or from seeds; however, it has the potential to develop into a weed problem because it spreads vigorously. Cold -tolerant hybrids are usually specified. These are traditionally established from sprigs or sod, but seed is now available. A Adaptation: Southern Piedmont and Coastal Plain in Virginia and some southern appalachian ridges and valleys. Check Std. & Spec. 3.34 for regional adaptations of varieties. Makes its best growth when average daily temperatures are above 75 degrees. Grows on a wide range of soils from heavy clays to deep sands. Optimum pI-I is 6.0 to 6.5. It is drought -resistant and salt -tolerant. Tolerates floods of short duration but will not thrive on waterlogged soils; does not persist under heavy shade. For rough areas, the varieties Midland (a forage hybrid) and Coastal are recommended. For fine -turf areas, Tufcote (a fine -leaved turf hybrid), Midiron, Tifway, and Vamont are used in Virginia. Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylion) Establishment: By sodding or planting sprigs. Sprigs should be planted (by hand or machine) when soil is warm in a well -prepared, moist seedbed. One end of the sprig should extend above ground, and the other should be covered by firmly packed soil. Sources: Readily available as seed, sprigs, and sod. III - 323 n 1992 PC Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) Uses: Pasture, hay silage, and erosion control. An excellent grass for stabilizing waterways, healing and controlling gullies, and protecting shorelines of ponds and reservoirs from wave action. Also provides good cover for shooting preserves. Can be used in deep gullies and drainage ditches where streamflow is rapid. Vigorous growth may impede flow in small, low velocity channels. Description: A long-lived, cool season, clumpy perennial with coarse rhizomes (underground stems). Grows 4 to 7 feet tall. Most widely used variety is Ioreed. Adaptation: Throughout Virginia. Does best in a cool, moist climate. Makes best growth on fertile, moist, medium to fine soils; but will grow in a wide range of soil moisture conditions. Will also grow well on swampy or floodplain soils consisting of peat, muck or sand. Will withstand flooding, yet is quite drought -tolerant when mature. Optimum pH range 5.0 to 7.5. Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) 3.32 Establishment: Requires a well -prepared seedbed that is firm and weed free. Seed in spring or late summer; drill seed alone or with a legume. Seed must be fresh - it should be labeled as having at least 70% germination tested within the last 6 months. Normally, pure stands should be established because this grass is not very compatible with other plants. Mowing should not occur more than twice a year on stabilized critical erosion areas or waterway as this will result in reduced stands. Sources: Available commercially. I �� I I 7 I I I n - I I III - 324 I 1992 3.32 1. MISCELLANEOUS EROSION CONTROL GRASSES Weeping Lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) Uses: Fast-growing cover for erosion control. In the northeast, weeping lovegrass acts as a summer annual. The normal life of 3 to 5 years may be foreshortened by low winter temperatures. May provide permanent cover on southern exposure. Description: A rapid -growing, warm season bunch grass introduced from East Africa. The long, narrow leaves are numerous, very fine, and droop over to the ground, hence the name. Leaf height is rarely above 12 inches. Adaptation: Prefers light -textured, well -drained soil; will thrive on soil of low fertility. Low winter temperatures may deplete stand. Establishment: Easy to establish by seed; germinates rapidly and grows quickly. Lime and fertilizer needs are similar to those of Tall Fescue and Ryegrass. Requires pH of 5.5 or higher. May be planted any time after danger of frost and throughout the summer. Very fine seed, commonly added to erosion control seed mixtures. Use of hydroseeders is successful if the seeding rate is increased to compensate for the lack of a firm seedbed. Normal seeding rates are 5 to 20 lbs. per acre in mixes. Sources: Readily available from large seed companies. Weeping Lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) III - 325 1992 3.32 2. Redtop (Agrostis alba) Uses: Erosion control, pasture, companion grass in turf seedings and stabilizing ditch and channel banks, grassed waterways, and other disturbed areas. Description: A coarse, cool season perennial grass with rhizomes (underground stems). Grows to 30 to 40 inches. Adaptation: Throughout Virginia; does better in the cool, humid areas. Will grow under a wide variety of soil and moisture conditions. Grows on very acid soils (pH 4.0 to 7.5) and poor, clay soils of low fertility. While drought -resistant, it is also a useful wetland grass. Establishment: Has. very small seed and requires a compact seedbed. May be sown in early spring or late summer. Seldom seeded alone except as temporary turf: Adequate fertilization is essential on critical areas to obtain good cover rapidly. Most commonly added to mixes, usually 2 to 3 lbs. .per acre. Redtop will disappear from. a stand under frequent low mowing. Sources: Available from commercial sources. Redtop (Agrostis alba) III - 326 1992 3.32 1. LEGUMES Crownvetch (Coronilla varia) Uses: For erosion control of critical areas such as steep roadbanks, surface mine spoil and industrial waste areas. It is also useful as a residential ground cover. It provides high -quality forage for ruminant animals and serves as a wildlife food and cover plant. Description: A deep-rooted, cool season, perennial, herbaceous legume with a semi -reclining growth habit. It reaches 2 to 3 feet in height, and does not climb or twine. It fixes nitrogen in the soil and makes a dense mat of vegetative cover. Adaptation: Best adapted to the northern Piedmont and Mountain regions of Virginia. It grows best on well -drained soils with a pI-I range of 5.5 to 8.3. It will persist on more acid soils for a prolonged period once established. It is not adapted to soils with poor drainage. Crownvetch is winter - hardy and drought -tolerant. Varieties commonly used are Chemung, Penngift and Emerald. Coronilla varia) Establishment: Only inoculated seed should be used. Requires at least 500 lbs. per acre of 5-10-10 fertilizer (or the area should be fertilized according to soil test results). Soil acidity must be raised above a pH of 5.5. Crownvetch requires mulch and can be hydroseeded successfully. Seeding in the spring is most successful. Frost - seeding may be used on steep or stony sites (seed in late winter, and allow frost action to work the seed into soil). Crownvetch often takes 2 to 3 years to establish a dense stand. A companion grass such as Perennial Ryegrass or Redtop needs to be mixed into the initial planting, but the Crownvetch will eventually crowd out the companion plants. It will not persist under frequent mowing. Sources: Available commercially. III - 327 1992 3.32 2. Flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris) Uses: Flatpea is an erosion control plant that provides a thick mat of vegetative cover, fixes nitrogen in the soil, and can be maintained with a minimum of management. It is useful on roadbanks, dams, borrow area, gravel pits, surface mine spoil, and industrial waste areas. It is an ideal plant for stabilizing logging roads and utility right-of-ways since it will restrict the invasion of many woody species. It also provides good wildlife cover and food. Description: A cool season perennial legume. It will climb to a height of 6 to 7 feet if support is available, but the normal height is 2 to 3 feet. Adaptation: Flatpea is adaptable to a wide variety of soil conditions. It is drought -tolerant, cold -hardy, and does well on low -fertility sites such as sands, gravels, and soils from acid sandstones. It is not adapted to wet sites, but it will grow on somewhat poorly drained soils. It will tolerate minor shade and a minor degree of flooding. The optimum pH range is from 6.0 to 6.5. The only available variety is Lathco, developed by the USDA - Soil Conservation Service. Establishment: Use only inoculated seed. The seedbed should. be scarified, if possible. The seed is normally drilled or band seeded, but on rough sites or steep slopes, it can be broadcast and then worked into the soil by light dragging. Where possible, a light application of mulch, properly anchored, will assure a good stand. Lime is essential if the soil is below a pH of 5.0. Fertilize according to a soil test or apply 400 lbs. per acre of 10-20-10. Work lime and fertilizer into soil when preparing Flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris) III - 328 � 1992 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 the seedbed. For a primary stand, use a seeding rate of 30 to 40 lbs. in a mixture with 8 to 10 lbs. of Perennial Ryegrass or 10 to 15 lbs. of Tall Fescue. Flatpea is slow to germinate, so grasses are needed to provide quick cover. Early spring seedings in April or May are best; June seedings are less desirable. Grass seedings may be overseeded with Flatpea from November through March. Flatpea is usually not winter -hardy if seeded in mid or late summer; therefore, dormant seedings are recommended. Mulch with straw at a minimum rate of 1-1/2 tons per acre on all critical sites, and anchor. Little management is required. Remove woody vegetation if the site is invaded. Mowing is acceptable once the stand is established. Mow after full bloom at a 6-inch minimum height. Sources: Lathco is commercially available. 3.32 III - 329 1992 3.32 3. Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) Uses: Hay, pasture, erosion control, cover crop, wildlife food. Description: Warm season perennial legume with upright woody stems 12 to 18 inches tall. Roots widely branched penetrating soil 3 feet or more. Adaptation: Well adapted to all parts of Virginia. Best on well - drained, deep soils of medium texture. Will also grow on sandy, rather acidic, infertile soils. Most often the legume of choice for eastern Virginia. Optimum pH range is 6.0 to 6.5, but will tolerate a range of 5.0 to 7.0. It is drought - tolerant. Common varieties in Virginia are Serala and Interstate. Establishment: Seed from April to June. Requires a firm seedbed. Use only inoculated seed. Rates vary from 20 to 301bs. of unhulled seed per acre. Requires phosphate and potash. Will not persist under frequent mowing (once a year recommended). Sources: Seed of common varieties is commercially available. Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) III - 330 11 1992 4. 3.32 White Clover (Trifolium repens) Uses: Common White Clover is used mostly for pastures. Ladino clover, a giant white clover, is also used for hay and silage in mixtures with a grass. The. thick - growing, spreading characteristics of the common type make it ideal for erosion control. Description: A cool season perennial legume. The common type has a prostrate type of growth, while the Ladino is more upright. Both spread by stolons (horizontal branches along ground) and by roots at the nodes. Representative common varieties used in Virginia are Tillman, Common and White Dutch. Ladino is the only cultivar for the large type. Adaptation: Thrives in cool climates and on moist, rich soils with full sun. Will not tolerate extremes of cold or drought. Where soil moisture is not adequate, Ladino is short-lived. Optimum soil pH is 6.5, but it will grow in a range of 5.0 to 7.5. Common White Clover volunteers readily in Bluegrass mixtures where moderate to high fertility is maintained. Stands are persistent. Establishment: Ladino Clover requires inoculation, fertilizing, and liming for successful growth. Phosphorus and potash are the key fertilizer elements required. Ladino makes a good companion crop with grasses such as Orchardgrass, Bromegrass, Tall Fescue and Timothy. These grasses will normally crowd out the Ladino after 2 to 3 years. Seed should be planted (drilled or broadcast) at shallow depths, and a firm seedbed is desirable. Sources: Available commercially.

April 1, 2005 Eric R. Lawrence Planning Director Frederick County Dept. of Planning & Development 107 North Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Re Dear Mr. Lawrence: Professional Design Services M,n Third Winchester Battlefield Interpretive Trail Plan JN 22397 We are pleased to submit for your review the attached site plan and associated materials for the Third Winchester Battlefield Interpretive Trail Plan. This is a non-residential site development plan purposed to preserve and interpret the historical significance of two adjoining parcels owned and maintained by The Civil War Preservation Trust. The site plan accomplishes this objective with minimal impact on the integrity of the landscape in the following ways: adapting an existing entrance drive off of Red Bud Road to better accommodate visitors, constructing predominantly crushed -stone multi -use trails, field locating proposed trails to avoid mature trees through wooded areas, and strategically locating interpretive signage throughout the site. Additionally, portions of the site have been designed for universal accessibility. Thank you for your time and assistance in the review of this plan. Sincerely, ANDERSON & ASSOCIATES, INC.
