EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN
FOR
JACKTOWN FAIRGROUNDS
FILL SITE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The site is owned by Richhill Agricultural Society (aka – The Jacktown Fair Board). The site is known as
the Jacktown Fairgrounds and is located along State Route 21 (West Roy Furman Highway) in Richhill
Township, just west of Wind Ridge, Pennsylvania. The site has been developed to take excess material
from the West Greene Elementary Center Addition. Approximately 60,000 cyds of soil material
excavated from the West Greene school project site will be placed along an existing pad area that is used
for event parking and shows. The intent of the fill placement is to expand the existing pad area to allow
for additional parking area during the week of the fair and scheduled events. Approximately 4.5 acres
will be disturbed.
SOIL DESCRIPTION
The site soils are indicated as DtD and DtF (Dormont , 15 to 50 percent slopes) per United States
Department of Agriculture Soil Survey of Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania (see attached
Soils Map). These soils are hydrologic soil group “C” .

Based on Table 10 in the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey of Greene and Washington
Counties, Pennsylvania, the limitations for this soil type for shallow excavations, paths and trails, local
streets and roads, dwellings, small commercial buildings, and lawns are indicated as moderate to severe
mainly due to issues with wetness, slippage, low strength, depth to rock, large stones, and slope. In order
to compensate for any potential problems site compaction should be monitored and any unsuitable
material should not be used as structural fill. All soft or yielding soils encountered should be removed and
replaced with suitable fill material.

PAST, PRESENT AND PROPOSED LAND USES
The site has been used as a fairgrounds and ballfield area for the community for over 100 years. The
proposed fill will enlarge the existing pad area that can be utilized for overflow parking and events,
during the week of the fair.
The existing area where the fill will be placed is and existing sloped area with slopes ranging between
15% to 45%. The area has been brush hogged in the past, and is predominantly brush with a few
saplings. The finished site will have 40% slopes that will seeded and mulched for grass cover.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
No storm water management or controls are proposed at this time. The site will be graded and seeded;
therefore, the post-construction runoff should not exceed the pre-developed runoff. Refer to Appendix C
for Storm Water Calculation.
Storm water runoff from the site will sheet flow to an un-named tributary of PA Fork Dunkard Creek
(PADEP Chapter 93 designation WWF –Warm Water Fishes).
EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES
The temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures to be installed include the following:



Rock construction entrance;
30” and Super silt fence; and
Temporary vegetation (as needed).
The temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be installed, stabilized, and functional at
the locations indicated on the plan drawing prior to commencement of any earth moving activities. The
controls shall be installed as indicated on the attached detail drawing and in accordance with the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program
Manual.
Permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures to be installed include the following:

Permanent vegetation
Both temporary and permanent seeding specifications are indicated on the attached detail drawing. Any
disturbed area on which activity has ceased and which will remain exposed for more than 4 days must be
stabilized immediately. During non-germinating periods, straw or hay mulch must be applied at a rate of
at least 3.0 tons per acre. Disturbed areas which are not at finished grade and which will be re-disturbed
within one year shall be stabilized in accordance with the temporary seeding specifications. Disturbed
areas which are either at finished grade or will not be re-disturbed within one year must be stabilized in
accordance with the permanent seeding specifications.

EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MAINTENANCE
The erosion and sedimentation controls shall be properly maintained until the site is stabilized.
Maintenance shall include inspections of all erosion and sedimentation controls after each runoff event
and on a weekly basis. All preventative and remedial maintenance work, including clean out, repair,
replacement, re-grading, reseeding, re-mulching, and re-netting, must be performed immediately.
Vegetative stabilization will be considered to be in place and functional when 70% uniform vegetative
coverage is achieved over 100% of the remaining disturbed area following grading. Accumulated
sediment cleaned from erosion and sedimentation controls during maintenance activities shall be utilized
as vegetative soil or fill material in non-structural areas.
Specific maintenance activities for each proposed BMP shall be as follows:

Rock Construction Entrance: Rock construction entrance thickness shall be constantly
maintained to the specified dimensions by adding rock. A stockpile shall be maintained on site
for this purpose. At the end of each construction day, all sediment deposited on paved roadways
and parking lots shall be removed and returned to the construction site.

30” and Super Silt Fence: Sediment must be removed where accumulations reach ½ the above
ground height of the fence. Any fence section which has been undermined or topped must be
immediately replaced with a rock filter outlet.
After final site stabilization has been achieved, temporary erosion and sedimentation controls must be
removed and properly stored or disposed. Areas disturbed during removal of the controls must be
stabilized immediately.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE AND SCHEDULE
Following approval of the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Greene County Conservation
District, construction is anticipated to start as soon as possible with weather permitting.
The anticipated construction sequence is as follows:
Stage 1
Stake site as needed for limits of disturbance and installation of E&S controls.
Contact PA One Call a minimum of three (3) days prior to any earth disturbance.
Stage 2
Install rock construction entrance at location indicated on plan.
Stage 3
Clear areas for installation of super silt fence and install super silt fence at the
locations indicated on the drawing.
Stage 4
Clear areas to be graded and perform site grading. Install erosion control matting
on all slopes greater than 3H:1V. Slopes shall be stabilized in 15 to 25 foot
vertical increments, an equivalent BMP can be utilized other than erosion control
matting if approved by the Greene County Conservation District. As soon as
slopes and other disturbed areas reach final grade, they must be stabilized. No
more than 15,000 square feet of disturbed area may reach final grade before
initiating seeding and mulching operations.
3
Stage 5
Once all material has been placed. All remaining disturbed areas must be seeded
and mulched, according to plan specifications, immediately following
constructions.
Stage 6
When construction is complete and vegetative cover is established, gauged by
uniform 70% vegetative coverage over 100% of the remaining disturbed area,
remove remaining temporary erosion and sedimentation controls and fertilize,
seed, and mulch disturbed areas per permanent seeding specifications.
Note:
Greene County Conservation District shall be notified at least 7 days prior to any earth
disturbance and a pre-construction meeting shall be scheduled with the Conservation
District at least 14 days prior to any earth disturbance.
Note:
All erosion and sedimentation controls shall be maintained until the site is stabilized and
inspected by Greene County Conservation District. A record of weekly inspections and
inspections after any significant rainfalls shall be kept. Inspections shall be logged onto
DEP Form 3150-FM-BWEW0083 dated 2/2012 and kept on site at all times. A copy of
the approved E&S Plan and narrative shall be kept on site at all times as well as the
records of all inspections and repairs to BMPs.
