The Contractor shall dispose of the water in a suitable manner without damage to adjacent <br />property or without being a menace to public health or without causing a public inconvenience or <br />nuisance. <br />The Contractor will aquire all required dewatering permits. Sampling, testing, and reporting <br />requirements described in the permit will be performed by the Contractor. The Contractor shall <br />install and maintain any facilities required to meet the water quality standards of the permit. <br />The water shall not be drained into work completed or under construction without the consent of <br />the Engineer. <br />The dewatering operation shall continue until such time that it is safe to allow the water table to <br />rise in the excavation and upon the approval by the Engineer. <br />3.03 STRIPPING -See Section 02100 -Site Preparation <br />3.04 PLACING EMBANKMENT MATERIALS <br />The suitability of each part of the foundation for placing embankment materials thereon, and of <br />all materials for use in embankment construction, will be determined by the Engineer. No <br />embankment material shall be placed in the fill area when either the material or the foundation or <br />embankment on which it would be placed is frozen. <br />No brush, roots, sod, or other perishable or unsuitable materials shall be placed in the <br />embankment. <br />Each load of the material placed in the embart};tnent, whether from excavation for other parts of <br />the work or from borrow pits, shall be placed in the location designated by the Engineer. <br />If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the surface of the prepared foundation or the compacted surface <br />of any layer of earthfill is too dry or smooth to bond properly with the layer of material to be <br />placed thereon, it shall be moistened and/or worked with harrow, scarifier, or other suitable <br />equipment, in an approved manner to a sufficient depth to provide a satisfactory bonding surface <br />before the next succeeding layer of earthfill material is placed. If in the opinion of the Engineer, <br />the compacted surface of any layer of the earthfill in place is too wet for proper compaction of the <br />layer of earthfill material to be placed thereon, it shall be removed; allowed to dry; or be worked <br />with harrow; scarifier, or other suitable equipment to reduce the moisture content to the required <br />amount; and then it shall be recompacted before the next succeeding layer of earthfill material is <br />placed. <br />The earthfill on each side of any structures shall be kept at approximately the same level as the <br />placing of the earthfill progresses, and the structures shall be protected against displacement or <br />other damage. <br />3.05 MOISTLJRE AND DENSITY CONTROL <br />A. Fill Material <br />The standard optimum moisture content is defined as "that moisture content which will <br />result in a maximum dry unit weight of the soil when subjected to the Standard Proctor <br />Compaction Test as described by ASTM D-698."
