Following distribution of the soil and organic materials, the entire Project Area shall be deeply ripped. Ripping shall occur parallel to the contour (perpendicular to the fall of the slope) throughout the Project Area. Rippers shall be sunk a minimum of twelve inches (12") into the ground. Ripper marks on the ground shall be spaced no further apart than eighteen inches (18"), center to center. It is likely that metallic or non-metallic debris will be encountered during the ripping operation.
