Controlling a really muddy construction site
Controlling a really muddy construction site
(OP)
Finishing up plans for a new school and looking for some guidance on how to control a muddy job site. Currently, there is another school being constructed in the same city, and it's a mud pit. I've seen straw used on sites before, but is there any concern with the removal of straw before final grading and paving?
In my mind, aggregate over straw over geotextile would be great, but that's obviously getting expensive. If the straw is easy enough to scrape away, I imagine periodic reapplication would be sufficient. Curious how others specify this.

This may involve construction phase grading along with temporary diversion swales or berms to direct runoff to sediment traps or stormwater management facilities. Prompt stabilization of disturbed areas with stone bases in paved and building areas as well as vegetation in other areas should help as well.

Use surface and subsurface water control through ditching and wellpoints if necessary. Supplement unstable soils with gravel.
