Wood Cellulose Fiber Mulch
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Wood cellulose fiber mulches have been
successful on level areas or on slopes with slight
grades where sufficient moisture is present to
obtain a quick germination of grass seed. The
material should be hydraulically applied at the
following rates: Areas up to and including 3 to 1
slopes, at the rate of 1,120 kg per 10,000 sq. m
1,000 pounds per acre; areas steeper than 3 to 1 at
the rate of 1,568 kg per 10,000 sq. m 1,400 pounds
per acre. It should not be specified for slopes 2
to 1 or greater in areas where drought may prevent
germination of the seed or where runoff from heavy
rains may cut gullies through the fiber mulch. In
these areas use erosion control materials such as
specified in paragraph entitled "Erosion Control
Material."
**************************************************************************
Use recovered materials of either paper-based (100 percent) or wood-based
(100 percent) hydraulic mulch. Processed to contain no growth or
germination-inhibiting factors and dyed an appropriate color to facilitate
visual metering of materials application. Composition on air-dry weight
basis: 9 to 15 percent moisture, pH range from 5.5 to 8.2 [_____]. Use
with hydraulic application of grass [seed] and fertilizer.

WATER
**************************************************************************
NOTE: When water is Government furnished, locate
the source. Recycled or reclaimed irrigation water
may be available through a tertiary treatment plant
on or off site. It is preferred that this type of
water be used for irrigation whenever possible.
Check project specific conditions.
Unless otherwise directed, water shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor. Water source
shall be potable or non-potable. If non-potable
edit specification accordingly. Source of water
shall be approved by the Contracting Officer and
shall be of suitable quality for irrigation,
containing no elements toxic to plant life.
Coordinate information presented here with Section
01500, "Temporary Facilities and Controls."
**************************************************************************
Source of water shall be approved by Contracting Officer and of suitable
quality for irrigation containing no element toxic to plant life.

EROSION CONTROL MATERIALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Provide all erosion and sediment control
measures in Section 01561N, "Erosion and Sediment
Control" for Navy instead of here if used for
SECTION 02923
