i The distribution of materials within any given zone shall be
such that the fill is free from lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers
1 of material differing substantially in texture or gradation from
the surrounding material. The combined borrow excavation and fill
' placement operation shall be such that the materials, when
compacted in the fill, will be blended sufficiently to secure the
' best practicable distribution of the material, subject to the
approval of the Engineer.
' Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, the top of the fill
shall be at or near the same elevation at all times during
' construction; the maximum permissible difference in elevation
across the fill shall be 1.5 ft. At all times during construction,
' the surface of the fill shall be graded to prevent ponding of water
and maintained to drain water.

fill shall be dumped and spread in such a manner so tfia t no gaps
are left between successively-dumped loads of materials. The fill
shall be leveled prior to compaction by means of a dozer or grader,
or other suitable approved equipment, to obtain a surface free from
depressions. The fill shall be compacted parallel to the axis of
' the fill; and as far as practical, hauling units shall be so routed
that they do not follow in the,same paths but spread their tracks
evenly over the surface of the fill to assist the compaction
' operations. Unless otherwise specified or approved by the Engineer,
the Contractor shall not be permitted to end-dump fill materials
' into depressions in the foundations or to blade fill down slopes to
fill depressions.
'
Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, the slope of
' compacted soil faces against which compacted fill is to be placed
shall not be steeper than 1.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical.
