Fill adjacent to <br />concrete structures shall not be <br />compacted until the concrete has <br />had time to gain enough strength <br />to support the load. <br />Protection <br />A protective cover of vegetation <br />shall be established on all <br />exposed surfaces of the <br />embankment, spillway, and borrow <br />area if soil and climatic <br />conditions permit. If soil or <br />climatic conditions preclude the <br />use of vegetation and protection <br />is needed, non-vegetative cover <br />such as mulches or gravel may be <br />used. In some places, temporary <br />vegetation may be used until <br />permanent vegetation can be <br />established. The embankment and <br />spillway shall be fenced if <br />necessary to protect the <br />vegetation.. <br />Ponds for fish shall be fenced if <br />livestock are present.

Type V shall be used where <br />the sulfate concentration is over <br />0.2% for soil or 1,000 ppm for, <br />water. Poizolans may be used to <br />replace not more than 15% of the <br />cement by weight. Accelerators <br />or antifreeze compounds shall not <br />be used. <br />Concrete shall be adequately <br />protected against freezing for a <br />period of 5 days after placement. <br />Principal spillway <br />Corrugated metal pipe shall <br />conform to the requirements of <br />Federal Specifications WW-P-402 <br />WW-P-405. <br />Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe <br />shall conform to ASTM D-1785 or D- <br />2241. Antiseep collars shall be <br />of materials compatible with that <br />of the pipe and shall be installed <br />so that they are watertight. <br />Foundation and embankment drains <br />Foundation and embankment drains, <br />if required shall be Dlaced to the <br />line and grade shown on the <br />drawings. Detailed requirements <br />for drain material and any <br />required pipe shall be shown in <br />the drawings and specifications <br />for the job. <br /> <br />SCS, Colorado, January 1989 <br />
