The purpose of this standard is to provide uniform polyolefin and sisal agricultural baler twine specifications to ensure satisfactory performance in round and square balers and have adequate durability in normal storage and handling of baled forage and biomass materials.

This standard is intended to cover agricultural baler twines manufactured for use in round balers, small square balers, and large square balers. This standard is not intended to restrict manufacturers in the use of materials or manufacturing processes, rather create a minimum expectation of baler twine product performance.

This Standard is intended to guide engineers and technicians in the planning, design, layout, construction and maintenance of water and sediment control basins (WASCOBs). These basins consist of an earth embankment with a level top section constructed across a watercourse or gulley to form a sediment trap and a water detention basin.

This Standard applies where gully erosion is a problem or there is a need to manage runoff leaving a site. The soils and site conditions must be suitable to build an earth embankment and the topography must provide adequate detention storage. The site must provide an adequate outlet either through an underground outlet or by infiltration into the soil.

Water and sediment control basins differ from terraces in that they do not necessarily follow the contour of the land, and they do not necessarily reduce slope length as defined in the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 2. The reduction in sheet and rill erosion may be slight with the use of WASCOBs. However, they may be used in conjunction with terrace systems.

This Practice provides guidance and recommended procedures for the layout and design of roadways inside plant boundaries and for access to a plant facility.

This Practice describes roadway classifications and provides guidance for design of right-of-ways, access to public roadways, use of local materials, climate effects, traffic loading, layout and traffic control, design of paving and roadways, providing drainage, and providing railroad and pipeline crossings for roadways within plant boundaries and for access to a plant facility. This Practice uses United States standards for roadway design. The user should research regional standards for variations from this design guide.
