The maximum topsoil stockpile height will be approved by MANAGER. The <br /> CONTRACTOR shall protect stockpiled topsoil by an effective cover of non-noxious, quick- <br /> growing, annual, and perennial plants, approved by MANAGER, which shall be seeded or planted <br /> during the first appropriate growing season after removal. <br /> 3.03 WASTE REMOVAL: <br /> Waste material is defined as material too wet,too dry, frozen or containing ice or snow,containing organic or <br /> other deleterious matter,having poor characteristics of grading or compaction,having other characteristics that <br /> may result in undesirable settlement or other movement of the fill, or within the fill, or otherwise not meeting <br /> the requirements of the SPECIFICATIONS,provided that this definition permits drying,water, and any other <br /> processing or reprocessing to make the material stable and suitable prior to incorporating it into the fill as <br /> permitted in the SPECIFICATIONS or by the MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. <br /> A.

No excavation shall begin until the CONTRACTOR has provided <br /> construction staking for the proposed work. <br /> B. CONTRACTOR shall prevent the disturbance of surrounding areas during excavation. Where <br /> selective excavations are required to obtain materials for Structural/Overburden Fill and Select <br /> Structural Fill,the material removed from the excavations shall be taken directly to the fill areas or,if <br /> required,stockpiled by material types. The stockpiles shall be approved by MANAGER. <br /> C. CONTRACTOR shall grade all excavations to ensure grades are maintained to provide adequate <br /> drainage at all times. Work shall be suspended by CONTRACTOR when, in the opinion of <br /> MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER, the site is overly wet, muddy, or otherwise <br /> unsuitable for proper maintenance,until directed otherwise by MANAGER,at no cost to CC&V. <br /> D. In excavations where Structural/Overburden Fill or Select Structural Fill is to be placed on slopes <br /> steeper than 3H:IV,horizontal benches shall be excavated into the slope to allow fill to be placed in <br /> horizontal lifts. The CONTRACTOR shall continuously bench and key embankment material into <br /> the existing material a minimum of 2 feet. <br /> E. The CONTRACTOR will be responsible for the safety of temporary construction slopes. <br /> CONTRACTOR shall inspect all temporary and permanent open-cut excavations on a regular basis <br /> for signs of instability.
