<br />practical from nontraverseable hazards and fixed objects ( "clear
<br />zone "). New.above'ground installations may be permitted within the

<br />exist. Penmittee must utilize appropriate countermeasures to
<br />minimize hazards.
<br />Pcrmittee shall remove materials and equipment from the highway

<br />includeprotectivo measures where materials and equipment may be
<br />stored on ROW. Protection of open trenches and other excavations

<br />holidays without prior authorization or unless otherwise specified in
<br />this permit. CDOT may restrict work on ROW during adverse •
<br />weather conditions or during periods of high traffic volume.
<br />Those areas within ROW, which must be disturbed by permit
<br />operations, shall be kept to a practical minimum. Permittee shall not
<br />spray, cut, or trim trees or other landscaping elements within
<br />highway ROW, unless such work is otherwise specified in this

<br />of material is not permitted. The permitted facility shall be of
<br />durable materials in conformity with accepted practice or industry
<br />standards, designed for long service life, and relatively free from
<br />routine servicing or maintenance.

<br />d. Construction or compaction by means of jetting, puddling, or water
<br />flooding is prohibited within all highway ROW.
<br />e. Thrust blocks are required on all vertical and horizontal bends in
<br />pressure pipes. .
<br />•
<br />£ Meters shall not be placed on highway ROW except within
<br />corporate limits where municipal regulations allow such use.
<br />15.• ALIGNMENT, COVER, CLEARANCE
<br />a. Location and alignment of Pennittee's facilities shall only be as
<br />specified in this permit or as otherwise indicated in the approved
<br />plans or work sketch (EXHIBIT A).
<br />b. Parallel installations will not be permitted within roadways
<br />(including curbing and/or shoulders) or median areas, except within
<br />corporate boundaries, subject to municipal regulations.
<br />c. _Parallel installations should be located as near as practicable to the
<br />ROW line. Crossings shall be as nearly perpendicular to the
<br />highway as feasible.
<br />d. Where no feasible alternate locations exist, the Department may
<br />permit parallel installations along roadside areas within 15 feet from
<br />edge of shoulder or back of curb. In these cases, the facility must be
<br />so located and safeguarded as to avoid potential conflict with •
<br />necessary highway appurtenances (signs, guard rail, delineators,
<br />etc.). Specific safeguards such as increasing depth of cover to 60
<br />inches, capping, or encasement, shall be specified in this permit's
<br />Special Provisions.
<br />e. Parallel installations shall follow a uniform alignment,' wherever
<br />practical. Due consideration must be given to conserving space
<br />available for future utility accommodations. The standard allowable

<br />conformance with OSHA construction and safety standards. Portal limits of
<br />untrenched crossings shall be established safely beyond the highway surface
<br />and clear zone and in no case shall the lateral distance from the surfaced area of
<br />• the highway to the boring or jacking pit be less than the vertical difference in
<br />elevation between such surface and the bottom of the pit. Water jetting or
<br />tunneling is notpermitted. Water assisted boring may be pennitted as
<br />determined by the CDOT Inspector. Boring hole shall be oversized to the
<br />minimum amount required to allow pull - through of the conduit being'instailed.
<br />Resultant voids shall be grouted or otherwise backfrlled, subject to CDOT
<br />approval. Ends of bored sections shall not be covered before being inspected.
<br />Encasement shall be consistent Utility Accommodation Code provisions.
