203.08
Additional work involved in drying embankment material to the required moisture
content shall be included in the contract price paid for excavating or famishing the
material with no additional compensation.
Density requirements will not apply to materials which cannot be tested in accordance
with any of the above procedures for determining maximum dry density. Compaction
for materials which cannot be tested shall be in accordance with subsection 203.08.
The percent of relative compaction specified shall be equal to or greater than
minimum values as shown in the following table for the various classes of soil and
type of compaction.

Claystone or soil-like non-durable shale shall be pulverized and compacted to the
specified moismre and percent of relative compaction and shall be compacted with a
heary tamping foot roller, weighing at least 30 tons. Each tamping foot shall protrude
from the drum a minimum of 4 inches. Each embankment layer shall receive a
minimum of three or more coverages with the tamping foot roller to obtain density.
One coverage consists of one pass over the entire surface designated. One pass
consists of the passing of an acceptable tamping foot roller over a given spot. The
roller shall be operated at a uniform speed not exceeding 3 miles per hour. No
additional compensation will be made for additional roller coverages [o achieve
specified density requirements

203.08 Construction of Embankments without Moisture and Density Control.
Rock embankment material shall be placed in layers in accordance with the
requirements of subsection 203.06.
Each layer of rock embankment material shall be compacted by routing construction
equipment, compactors, or both, uniformly over the entire surface of each layer
before [he next layer is placed. At least one compactor shall be in simultaneous
operation with each separate rock embankment placement operation. Specific types of
compactors shall be famished and used when required by the Contract.
Each layer of rock embankment shall not be covered by another layer until the
Engineer is satisfied that adequate compaction has been obtained. If the Engineer
determines that [he compactive effort is unsatisfactory, the Engineer may order the
Contractor to compact the unsatisfactory area by two additional passes using approved
compaction equipment.
