Vacuum for Paving Millings?
Vacuum for Paving Millings?
(OP)
I am trying to put together an E&S Plan for the parking lot milling. We would like to keep the plan under one acre so we proposed to mill from the curbs to 20 feet out and around key-cut areas (driveways and drainage) and overlay the remainder of the lot.
However, I would like to incorporated something into the plan that states that any millings generated will be immediately removed (if we place silt fence around the lot, we will have a disturbed area over 1 acre, thus requiring a NPDES permit, according to the conservation district). A member of my office has suggested using a vacuum to remove the millings, but I do not have any information on this and am not sure where to find some, any help is appreciated. As well as alternative BMPs.
Thank You,
Chrissy

RE: Vacuum for Paving Millings?
Telling the contractor how to remove the millings gets into "means and methods", which designers usually try to avoid. State you want them removed, how quickly, how disposed of, how paid for, and let the contractor figure it out. Contractor could use laborers with brooms as opposed to vacuuming for the same effect - do you really want to lock-in the method of removal?
