Riprap at pond edge
(OP)
Hey guys-my first post:
I've designed a fire supply and retention pond and called out 18" deep ODOT Type C (6"-18"; avg. 12") for the pond edges. The contractor wants to put #2 stone.
Any experience?
Thanks

I suggest sticking to your guns and making the contractor place the specified material.

You would be surprised. I like a rock on a road base or felt geotextile for wave action. It keeps the edges nicer. Of course in VT you probably get good wetland species that protect your edge.

I am currently working on a Bridge relocation project. The project required me to fill in part of a sand pit some thirty feet deep. I am filling in a very small percentage. For bank stabilization I am using filter fabric with Gabions.
