* C factor and shear stress for Types 1.A., 2.A. and 3.A mulch control nettings must be obtained with netting used in conjunction with pre-applied mulch material.
1 Minimum Average Roll Values when tested in the machine direction using ECTC Modified ASTM D 5035.
2 C Factor calculated as ratio of soil loss from RECP protected slope (tested at specified or greater gradient, h:v) to ratio of soil loss from unprotected (control) plot in large-scale testing. These performance test values should be *supported by periodic bench scale testing under similar test conditions using ECTC Test Method # 2.
3 Minimum shear stress RECP (unvegetated) can sustain without physical damage or excess erosion [> 12.7 mm(0.5 in) soil loss] during a 30-minute flow event in large-scale testing. These performance test values should be *supported by periodic bench scale testing under similar test conditions and failure criteria using ECTC Test Method #3.
4 The permissible shear stress levels established for each performance category are based on historical experience with products characterized by Manning's roughness coefficients in the range of 0.01 - 0.05.
5 Acceptable large-scale test methods may include ASTM D6459 or other independent testing deemed acceptable by the engineer.
6Acceptable large-scale testing protocol may include ASTM D6460 or other independent testing deemed acceptable by the engineer.
