 Temporary slope drains are applicable on sites with a maximum drainage area of 5 acres and on slopes 3 percent or steeper that have not yet been stabilized.  This practice is used in conjunction with several other BMPs such as temporary diversions, stone outlet protection, and sediment traps and basins.

-====Inlets====
+====Inlet====
 To prevent erosion of the diversion structure, the inlet of the slope drain should be underlain with geotextile filter fabric.  The type of filter fabric that is selected will vary upon the individual characteristics of the site, but must extend at least 5 feet from the inlet, with the edges keyed at least 6 inches into the ground.
-====Outlets====
+====Outlet====
 While all outlets must discharge runoff at non-erosive velocities, the outlet structure used will vary depending upon the amount of cover that is present on site.  Unstabilized sites must be discharged into a [[sediment trap]] or [[sediment basin]], while stabilized sites may drain into [[stone outlet protection]].
