Materials for White River Junction Projects

Slope, swale and bank work starts with the biggest stone on the page. Where a tributary drops off the hills and cuts at a road edge, size is what does the work.

Stone Fill is the Vermont word for riprap, and VTrans grades it by type, with Type I running about 1 inch to 12 inches. Use it to line steep ditches, armour culvert inlets and outlets, and hold stream banks.

Large River Rock builds dry creek beds, splash pads and heavier erosion work where rounded stone suits the look. Railroad Ballast is coarse and angular for severe drainage and heavy hardstanding.

Drain Rock covers curtain drains, footing drains, dry wells and downspout runs, and VTrans carries the same idea as Drainage Aggregate under 704.16. For tighter work, 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds and pipe surround.

Then the base materials. Staymat is a dense graded crushed base running from about 3/4 inch or 1 inch down to dust, and it locks up tight under a roller.

Vermont town road standards call for a crushed gravel surface course, and dense graded crushed stone is the spec name for the harder, more angular version.

Bank Run Gravel is gravel taken from a pit or bank and screened rather than crushed. It suits subbase and bulk fill, which is why Vermont road standards ask for a foot or more of it under a thinner crushed top course.

Stone Dust beds pavers, bluestone and flagstone, and binds the surface of a path. Top Soil is bought screened here for lawns and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in White River Junction

Timing matters as much as material here. Valley towns get one of the longest working seasons in Vermont, opening earlier in spring and holding later into the fall than the hill towns a few miles west.

That season comes with water. Across the Connecticut River Valley, sandy terraces drain fast while the silt and clay flats hold water, and tributaries coming off the hills drop onto the valley floor quickly after heavy rain.

That is why bank scour and channel cutting show up on the rivers draining this valley, and why washouts happen where a hillside tributary crosses a road. Coarse stone at the outlet and along the bank does the protecting.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and frost still heaves drives, walks and road shoulders every spring. Footing depth is set by the town, so confirm it with the town office.
