  • Use this erosion control structure in conjunction with grassed waterways, emergency spillways, etc.
  • Do not use this structure where drop in elevation is greater than 1.5 m (5 ft) at the surface intake. For drops greater than 1.5 m (5 ft) use the drop pipe inlet design.
  • Additional information regarding steeply sloping pipes can be found in OMAFRA Publication 29, Drainage Guide for Ontario.
