The flow time (in minutes) in the channel can be estimated by calculating the average velocity in feet per minute and dividing the length (in feet) by the average velocity. Step 4. Determine the rainfall intensity, frequency, and duration (Figures 8.03b through 8.03g-source: North Carolina State Highway Commission; Jan. 1973). Select the chart for the locality closest to your location. Enter the "duration" axis of the chart with the calculated time of concentration, TC.

Box 349 Boone, NC 28607 Re: Toyota of Boone Stormwater Management Plan Watauga County DWQ #970023 Dear Mr. Clark: DWQ staff conducted a site visit to the stormwater pond at the Toyota of Boone site on 29 March 1998. The pond appeared to be constructed properly. However there appeared to be some limited erosion along the side of the pond that should be stabilized. Also there are two drop inlets in the gravel parking lot - one goes directly to the culverted channel, while the other goes to the stormwater. Both inlets are at the same elevation. The inlet that goes directly to the stream should be replaced with a sealed cover to prevent stormwater from directly entering the stream. Once this change is made the stormwater management devices will be adequate the stormwater mangement plan will be complete. This letter hereby provides written approval of the stormwater management plan for the subject once the change is made to the drop inlet in accordance with the requirements of the 401 Certification.

Construction) to discuss the piping of approximately 290' of stream running through Mr. Greek's Toyota' dealership. A Mough I am opposed to piping this much stream, .especially In;i Town where flooding and development Is such a problem, we all came +a an agreement on how to approach this situation. The lot across t e road. from Mr. Cheek Is going to have a hotel and drug store built on It and the con ;ruction firm (as well as Mr. Cheek) is wanting to put the fill dirt on Mr. Cheek's Toyot lot'in order to .provide more level ground. to extend the car lot. The construction Is co ,tart soon so all parties' want the 401 issued as soon as po.;sible. I talked at length with ri:r. lfarnptnn Who well do the pipe Listallaticn and appea::a r=? be a very conscientious person) and .this is our agreement: 1) No pipe will be Installed approximately 90 feet from the existing box culvert underneath New Market DC1Ve, This will allow the applicant to fill about 200 feet of steam and should sdll enable.hlm to enlarge his lot quite a bit. 2) °I.nergy Diall)"ors" (rocks) should be placed ar the end of the ne Nly installed pipe within this 9o foot secion of strearn. Natural vegetadon should b = allowed to grow in this area. 3) A stormwater, pond(s) or settling basins of some kind must be in place to handle the ma)orky of runoff- from the existing and new tots. Pam of this stream is already piped and the existing pipe is too small. Mr. Cheek plans to remove the small 'pipe and replace It. with 'adequately sized pipe. The stream is located Irr a highly develeped.area of Bowe and if everything is installed as we discussed at the site 1 think that water qualky should be maintained if not enhanced. Mr. Cheek agreed to these conditions even though he strongly •wam:ed to pipe the entire length of :;bream. tW__ Municipal Services Garner, N.C. OOA `.l Engineering Company, P.A. Boone, N.C.

I called you on 23 May 1997 to discuss the project but have not received a call to date. I apologize for this late written response but believe that we need to resolve this matter soon. The stormwater management plan you sent does not show any permanent, wet detention pond as I discussed with Mr. Cheek on 17 January 1997. Our approval on 21 January 1997 was given with this understanding. Please call me at 919-733-1786 to discuss this matter in order to resolve this discrepancy.

When-jointed in the trench, the pipe shall form a true and smooth line of sewer. Pipe shall not be trimmed except for closures, and pipe not making a good fit shall be removed. Where slight defects occur and the use of the pipe is approved by the Engineer, defects shall be placed in the top of the sewer. Temporary bulkheads shall be placed in all open ends of sewer lines whenever pipe laying is stopped for more than 8 hours. When sections of line between manholes have been completed, an inspection shall be conducted and all deficiencies corrected. This inspection does not constitute acceptance. (b) PIPE LAYING (1) Each pipe shall be laid on an even, firm bed, so that no uneven strain will come to any part of the pipe. Particular care shall be exercised to prevent the pipes bearing on the sockets. Bell holes for bell and spigot pipe shall be dug at each point as hereinbefore specified. Each pipe shall be laid in conformity with the line and grades given by the Engineer, and in the presence of the inspector. The bell-end of the pipe shall be laid upgrade. Subgrade preparation shall be such that each pipe spigot will be entered in the receiving pipe bell in such a manner that the joint packing can be freely inserted at all points of the joint circumference, special care being taken to provide adequate joint space at the bottom of the joint without raising the pipe off of the trench bottom for packing insertion. No portion of the weight of the spigot end of the pipe shall be transmitted to the re- ceiving pipe bell:through:the joint packing. Before each piece of pipe is lowered into the trench, it shall be thoroughly inspected to insure its being clean. Each piece of pipe shall be lowered separately. No piece of pipe or fitting which is known to be defective, shall be laid or placed in the lines. If any defective pipe or fitting shall be discovered after the pipe-is laid, it shall be removed and replaced with a satisfactory pipe or fitting without additional charge. In case a length of pipe is cut to fit in a line, it shall be so cut as to leave a smooth end at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. (2) The interior of the sewer shall, as the work progresses, be cleaned of all dirt, jointing material and superfluous materials of every description. On small pipe sewers, where cleaning after laying may be difficult, a swab or drag shall be kept inside the Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 15 pipeline and pulled forward past each joint immediately after its completion. When laying of pipe is stopped for any reason, the exposed end of such pipe shall be closed with a plywood plug fitted into the pipe bell, so as to exclude earth or other material, and precautions taken to prevent floatation of pipe by run-off into trench. (3) All pipe shall be completely shoved home. On pipe of the tongue and groove type, 30" in diameter and larger, pressure must be applied to the center of each pipe as it is laid by a winch and cable or other mechanical means properly set and operated to insure that the spigot is all the way home in the socket, and that the sewer joint is of uniform size throughout the circumference of the pipe. (4) Laying holes in pipe, if used, shall be tapered and shall be plugged before backfilling with a tapered concrete plug set in mortar or mastic. (5) Pipes laid in tunnel or casing pipe shall be supported on suitable blocks cut or grouted into position to place the invert of the sewer or drain at the slope and to the elevations indicated on the Contract Drawings. (6) On pipes laid in tunnel or casing pipe, the space between the casing pipe and tunnel lining shall be either backfilled with fine low void sand thoroughly rammed or flushed into place, backfilled with Class "C" concrete or left unbackfilled as designated in the Project Specifications. If left unbackfilled, each end shall be suitably bulkheaded to protect against entrance of foreign material. (7) All Gravity Flow Pipeline shall be installed using a laser for control of vertical and horizontal alignment. The Contractor shall follow accepted practices in the utilization of the laser. A certified laser operator shall be present on the job at all times. Care shall be exercised to assure that the alignment control range of the instrument is not exceeded; but in no case, shall the range exceed 500 feet. Care shall be taken to prevent vibration of or direct sunlight on the instrument. Where present, a blower shall be provided to purge glue vapors from the pipe. An air velocity meter shall be provided so that the velocity of air in the pipe will not be great enough to cause the light beam to be distorted. The Contractor shall coordinate the work to minimize the number of take downs and set ups at each point. Periodic checks of the Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 16 laser shall be made to-assure that alignment is maintained. (c) PIPE JOINTS (1) General - In all jointing operations the trench must be dewatered when joints are made and kept dewatered until sufficient time has elapsed to assure efficient hardening of the jointing material. Bell and spigot, or tongue and groove ends of the pipe shall first be wiped clean before actual jointing operations are started. The type of joint to be installed in each location of the several following types specified shall be as specifically designated in the Project Specifications. (2) Cement Mortar and Jute Joints - Joints between consecutive pipes made with jute and Portland Cement Mortar shall be constructed as follows: a. On bell and spigot pipe, or variations thereof, plastic mortar shall be spread in the bottom one-third of the bell of the pipe previously laid. A closely twisted gasket of jute of proper thickness and of sufficient length to span around the pipe and lap at the top shall then be squeezed into the mortar. The spigot of the next pipe shall be entered and shoved home. After the pipe has been thoroughly bedded to line and grade, the jute gasket shall be caulked into the annular space with a suitable caulking tool in such manner as to seal the joint against leakage. The remainder of the space shall be completely filled with plastic mortar beveled off with the outside of the pipe... The joint in. pipes 30" or larger in diameter shall also be pointed and smoothed from the inside after the pipe has been laid. b. On tongue and groove type pipe, the jute shall be firmly attached to the middle of the tongue of each pipe in one continuous length with a compatible cement having adhesive properties similar and equal to EC 104 rubber cement as provided by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. Plastic mortar shall be placed on the edges of the upper half of the tongue of the pipe.to be laid and the lower half of the socket of the pipe previously laid; the pipe then aligned, forced home and graded. Sufficient mortar shall be placed on each pipe so that the space between the two pipes shall tend to become filled by the sliding action of the socket when the pipe is Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 17 forced into place. All beveled surfaces of the adjacent tongue and voids in both the inside and the outside shall be completely filled with mortar. The inside shall be troweled smooth for pipes 30" in diameter and larger. The finished joint shall not be greater than one (1) inch in width. (3) Bituminous and Jute Joints, Mastic Type - Joints between consecutive pipes made with jute and a bituminous joining compound shall be constructed as follows. Jute and bituminous joining compound shall be applied in the same manner as that specified for cement mortar and jute joints. (4) Bituminous and Jute Joints, Poured Type - Joints between consecutive bell and spigot pipe made with jute and a bituminous joining compound, poured in place, shall be constructed as follows: The bell and spigot of pipes to be joined together shall first be painted with a bituminous prime coat to insure adherence of the poured filler to the sides of the pipe. With pipe at grade and butted, the jute shall be caulked into position in such a manner as to leave a uniform space all around. The joint shall be made in one pour using a joint runner. (5) Rubber Gasket and Bituminous Joints - Joints between consecutive bell and spigot or tongue and groove pipe made with a rubber gasket and compatible bituminous compound of a type recommended by the gasket manufacturer shall be constructed as follows: The gasket shall be fitted over the tongue or spigot of each pipe, the space behind the gasket filled with the bituminous compound on tongue and groove joints, and the pipe entered into the bell or groove and shoved home. The remainder of the joint space shall be filled with bituminous compound in the same manner as that specified for mortar and jute joints. (6) Cast Iron Pipe and Ductile Iron Pipe Joints. a. General - Before any joints are made or the spigot of pipes placed in the bells, the spigots, bells, gaskets and glands shall be thoroughly cleaned and all foreign materials removed from their surfaces. b. In joining bell and spigot pipe and fittings, the spigot of each pipe shall be properly seated in the bell of the next adjacent piece and adjusted so as to give a uniform space for the joint, which shall be made with Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 18 braided hemp or jute, fiber packing, or rubber gasket, and with lead as designated in Project -Specifications. The packing shall be long enough to completely encircle the pipe, and shall be thoroughly driven into the bell so as to leave a space of at least 2 1/2 inches in depth to be filled with lead. Each joint must be made in one pour. In making lead joints, the melting pot shall be kept near the joint to be poured, and dross shall not be allowed to accumulate in the melting pot. Lead joints shall be thoroughly caulked by competent mechanics and in such a manner as shall secure tight joints without overstraining the iron of the bells. C. In joining mechanical joint pipe and fittings, the gland, followed by the gasket, shall be placed over the plain end of the pipe, the gasket and socket brushed with soapy water and the pipe inserted into the bell. The gasket shall then be pushed into position so that it is evenly seated in the bell and the gland moved into position against the face of the gasket. The bolts shall be inserted and made finger tight. The bolts shall then be tightened up with a ratchet wrench to complete the joint. d. In joining gasket type pipe and fittings, the gasket shall be seated evenly around the inside of the bell in the groove or recess provided and the inside of the gasket lubricated with lubricant furnished by the joint manufacturer. The spigot of the next pipe shall be aligned with the bell and started into the bell until it contacts the gasket. The joint shall then be completed by forcing the spigot past the gasket until it makes contact with the base of the socket. Pressure to force the spigot home shall be applied by means of a bar, a special lever or a mechanical jack-type assembly tool. (7) Factory-Fabricated Resilient Material Joints for Clay Pipe - In joining clay pipe with factory-fabricated resilient material joints, the bell and the spigot of the pipes shall be thoroughly cleaned, the joint material assembled on the spigot if it is made up of more than one part, the joint material or both bell and spigot coated with lubricant or adhesive, furnished by the joint manufacturer, the spigot entered into the bell and the pipe forced home by means of a bar or mechanical pipe puller. (8) Rubber Gasket Joints for Reinforced Concrete Low Head Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 19 and Cylinder Pressure Pipe -In joining pipes of these types, the ends of the pipes shall be thoroughly cleaned and the gasket furnished with the pipe placed in the groove or recess on the spigot, the gasket coated with a compatible bitumastic compound of a type recommended by the gasket manufacturer, the spigot entered into the bell and pipe forced home by means of a bar or mechanical winch. The remainder of the joint shall be filled with bituminous compound in the same manner as that specified for mortar and jute joints. (9) Corrugated Metal Pipe Joints - Unless allowed by the Project Specifications, only gasketed standard and two-piece bands . and the o-ring gasketed hugger-type connection will be allowed. The ends of the pipes shall be cleaned thoroughly to accept the gasket. All gaskets shall be lubricated with a lubricant furnished by the pipe manufacturer to ease assembly and promote uniform tightening of the connection to the torque specified by the pipe manufacturer. Upon tightening the connector bands, if the friction offered by pipe coatings, gaskets, etc., preclude proper pull-up of the gasket, the contractor shall utilize wooden levers to aid the compression of the bottom two-thirds of the band. (10) Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe Joints - In joining this pipe, all surfaces shall be cleaned of foreign debris and lubricated for assembly. All joints shall be water-tight rubber gasketed PVC Series 35 coupler joints. All joints are assembled by push-on techniques. (11) Truss Pipe, Solid Wall Laterals and Accessories - In joining this pipe, the surfaces to be solvent welded shall be thoroughly cleaned of all foreign material. Primer shall be utilized and generously applied to all joining surfaces followed immediately with the application of cement. The joint shall then be made to prevent set-up of cement. In making joints of this type, the pipe shall receive a 1/4 arc rotation while seating the spigot end into the bell. After the joint is made, every effort shall be taken not to disturb the pipe. (12) P.V.C. Sewer Pipe- P.V.C. Sewer Pipe shall be jointed as per Section 7.03.3(c)(6)d above. The Contractor is cautioned that all cut ends are to be beveled prior to assembly. (13) Fiberglass Pipe - Fiberglass Pipe shall be jointed in the same manner as the P.V.C. Sewer Pipe above. Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 20 7.03.4 CONNECTIONS FOR SERVICE PIPES (a) GENERAL - (1) Service Connections for house sewer and/or drain connection openings shall be provided in the main sewers as shown on the Contract Drawings or as designated in the Project Specifications. The exact location shall be as directed by the Engineer during construction. (2) Unless otherwise shown on the Contract Drawings or so designated in the Project Specifications, all sewer connection openings on bell, and spigot pipe shall be wye or tee branches, with the outlet being four (4) inches in internal diameter. All sewer connection openings on concrete pipe of the tongue and groove type shall be cast in place with the shape, size and dimen- sion of the opening corresponding to the bell end of a standard sewer pipe four (4) inches in internal diameter. Wye or tee branches shall be located at the points designated by the Engineer. Wye branches shall be so installed that the lower lip of the branch is not more than 2 inches below the outside top of the pipe. Tees may be installed with the branch vertical or ro- tated, depending on specific site situations. After installation, wye or tee branches shall not be covered with backfill until determination and record has been made by the Engineer of the location of each with reference to the nearest manhole downstream therefrom, and the direction in which the wye faces. (3) All connection openings shall be closed with a vitrified tile or -concrete disk or ° stopper.. securely held in place with the same joint material as that specified for main sewer, unless. otherwise noted on the Contract Drawings. (b) CONSTRUCTION (1) All excavation shall be carried out in compliance with the specifications. (2) Service connection made to the sewer prior to backfilling shall not be installed in the pipe trench as vertical risers except as approved in writing by the Engineer, but shall be laid on a slope not exceeding 2 feet vertical to 1 foot horizontal, and not less than 1/8 inch per foot, cut back into the trench bank in such a manner that the service connection pipe shall have a solid bearing on undisturbed earth as stipulated for pipe sewers. The service Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 21 pipe shall make such a horizontal angle with the sewer line that a proper connection with the wye or tee branch of slant is obtained without trimming the pipe and with no danger of jute or jointing material being forced into the sewer. The first length of pipe shall not make a total angle with the branch or slant greater than four inches in two feet, and the wye branch or slant shall be installed in such a manner as to fit the alignment of the branch service line as closely as possible. Where vertical risers are specified or ordered by the Engineer, riser pipes shall be supported to prevent an excessive load being applied to the main sewer pipe, and encased in Class "C" concrete with a minimum thickness of 6 inches, as shown on the plans, specified or ordered by the Engineer. (3) Wye and Tee branches for bell and spigot pipe, with less than 8 feet from the surface of the ground to the center of the branch, shall be laid horizontally with a slight fall across the branch. Connection openings on concrete pipe of the tongue and groove type shall be laid with the opening in the upper quarter of the pipe. (4) When the distance from the center of the connection openings is more than 8 feet from the ground surfaces, the connection openings shall be raised by means of riser pipes to a point less than 8 feet from the ground surface. Pipe risers for single connections shall be laid at an angle of from 45 Degrees to 60 Degrees with the horizontal depending on the side slope of the sewer trench, and shall be laid in undisturbed soil. Pipe risers for double connections shall be installed vertically with a double "T" branch at the top with the branches placed crosswise of the main sewer. All openings shall be plugged with clay or concrete disks or stoppers. Riser pipes and joints shall be of the same type as specified for the main sewer. (5) When sidewalks are available opposite the sewer being constructed, the Contractor shall notch the street side of the walk directly opposite each opening left in the sewer for connection to building drains. Where walks are not available for such marking, the Contractor shall place a hardwood stake on the property line directly opposite each opening left in the sewer. The hardwood stake shall be topped with a brass marker labeled "Sewer". If the Contract Drawings so stipulate, the sewer connections shall be extended to the R/W or as noted, plugged and provided with a clean out. In this case, the requirements for measured locations, notching sidewalks, stakes, etc. shall be omitted. Also, the Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 22 Contractor shall locate and keep a record of all opening locations by measurement to the nearest downstream manhole. Such record shall be delivered to the Engineer monthly during progress of the work. 7.04 COMPLETION OF CONTRACT 7.04.1 TESTS (a) GENERAL - It is the intent of these specifications to secure pipelines with a minimum amount of leakage. All cast iron, reinforced concrete cylinder pipe, reinforced concrete pressure pipe and truss pipe shall undergo hydrostatic pressure tests as herein described. All other gravity pipe lines, except clay pipe, shall be tested for infiltration and/or for exfiltration. All clay pipelines shall be air tested and tested for infiltration as described below. Unless otherwise noted by the Project Specifications, no infiltration or extra filtration testing will be performed on piping used to transport storm water. (b) HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TESTS (1) When a stretch of pipe and appurtenances has been completed, and before the pipe or joints are covered, the Contractor shall furnish proper appliances and facilities for testing and draining the same, without injury to the work or surrounding territory. He shall test by filling the pipe with clean water in the manner described under exfiltration tests; however, in no case shall there be any visible leakage, nor shall any leak- age in any stretch of pipe exceed one hundred (100) gallons per 24 .hour day per inch-: diameter per mile, as measured over a period of two (2) hours in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. This allowable leakage is established for 16 foot lengths of pipe. If different lengths of pipe are used, the allowable leakage shall be modified in the ratio of 16 feet to the length of pipe actually used. Water for making tests shall be furnished by the Contractor at his expense. (2) Any defects, cracks, or leakage that may develop, or that may be discovered either in the joints or in the body of the pipe, shall be promptly made good by the Contractor, at his own expense, and to the satisfaction of the Engineer. (3) Upon written permission of the Engineer, the system may be backfilled prior to testing, it being understood that the Contractor assumes the risk of re-excavating to the pipe in the Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 23 event the system fails to meet the requirements of the pressure test. (c) INFILTRATION TESTS (1) To check the amount of infiltration, the Contractor, at no added compensation over the contract price for the sewers, shall furnish, install and maintain a V-notch sharp crested weir in a wooden frame tightly secured at the low end of each sewer lateral and at locations on the main sewers as directed by the Engineer. Maximum allowable infiltration shall be 100 gallons per mile per inch of diameter of sewer per 24-hour day at any time. The joints shall be tight and visible leakage in the joints or pipe barrel or leakage in excess of that specified above shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense by any means found to be necessary, and with the Engineer's consent. (2) When infiltration is demonstrated to be within the allowable limits, the Contractor shall remove such weirs. (d) EXFILTRATION TESTS (1) In areas where ground water is not encountered during sewer construction, the Contractor shall furnish and install all necessary materials, equipment, shall supply water, etc., and run exfiltration tests as hereinafter described before the sewer is accepted. The maximum allowable exfiltration shall be 100 gallons per mile per inch of diameter of sewer per 24-hour day at any time. The joints shall be tight and leakage in excess of that specified . above shall be.. repaired by any means found to be necessary. (2) To check the amount of exfiltration, the ends of each section of sewer between manholes shall be plugged with watertight bulkheads. Inserted in each bulkhead, at the top of the sewer pipe, shall be a 2 inch pipe, with an elbow, extending 4 feet vertically in the upper manhole and to the same elevation in the lower manhole. Air in the sewer pipe shall be exhausted by filling the 2 inch upper manhole pipe to a height of 4 feet of water. Using measured containers, the water shall be poured into the upper 2 inch pipe as needed to maintain a constant head of 4 feet in the upper pipe for a period of thirty minutes, not allowing the lower pipe to overflow. The volume of water added during the thirty-minute period shall not exceed the allowable stated above. Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 24 (e) Air Tests (1) Unless site conditions are such that the site to be tested is submerged in groundwater, all clay pipe shall be air tested in accordance with ASTM C828. In conditions where this test is not used, the pipe shall undergo infiltration tests as outlined by 7.04.1(c). With the consent of the Engineer, the air test may be utilized in lieu of the hydrostatic test covered in the above sections for other types of pipe. This substitution shall only be considered for pipe 12" in diameter and smaller. 7.04.2 RESPONSIBILITY (a) GENERAL (1) Sewers must be built so as to remain true to line and grade. The inclining grade of the bottom of the sewer after completion shall be such that after flooding, the flood water will drain off so that no remaining puddle of water will be deeper than one-half (1/2) of an inch on pipe thirty-six (36) inches internal diameter or smaller, and three-quarters (3/4) of an inch on pipe larger than thirty-six (36) inches internal diameter. Any section of pipe that does not comply with specifications at any time previous to final acceptance of the work shall be replaced or relaid at the Contractor's expense. (2) The Contractor will be held strictly responsible that all parts of the work shall bear the load of the backfill. If cracks one-hundredth (1/100) of an inch develop in the pipe within one year. from the date of final acceptance of the work, the Contractor will be required to replace, at his expense, all such cracked pipe. To this end, the Contractor is advised to purchase pipe under a guarantee from the manufacturer, guaranteeing proper service of sewer pipe under conditions established by the Contract Drawings, Contract Specifications, and local conditions at the site of the work. 7.05 MEASUREMENT FOR PAYMENT AND COMPENSATION 7.05.1 GENERAL If any or all of the work to be performed under this Contract is on a unit price basis, the actual number of units of each unit price item or work performed may be more or less than the number stated in the Bidding Schedule of the Proposal, or included in the Contract, but no variation in Rev. 5/94 SECTION 7 Page 25 the Contract unit price will be made on that account.

(2) No claim for an amount of money beyond the Contract price of the work will be entertained or allowed on account of the character of the ground in which the trenches or other excavation is made unless rock as defined hereinafter is encountered and removed. Additional compensation at the Contract price will be authorized for all such rock removed; the quantities for payment Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 2 being determined on the basis established in Section 8.03 following. (3) The locations of sewers, pressure pipelines, structures, etc. as shown on the Contract Drawings, have been selected to provide the service intended. The Owner reserves the right to make minor variations in the location of these items during construction to meet any changed conditions discovered during the construction, and no extra payment will be allowed the Contractor for such shifts in alignment. (4) The location of existing piping and underground utilities, such as gas mains, water mains, electric duct lines, telephone conduits, etc., as shown on the Contract Drawings, have been determined from the records of the parent Utility Companies and drawings of the existing facilities. However, the Owner does not assume responsibility for the possibility that during construction, utilities other than those shown may be encountered, or that actual location of those shown may be different from the locations designated on the Contract Drawings. (5) At the locations wherein detailed positions of these facilities become necessary to the new construction, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish all labor and tools to either verify and substantiate the record drawing location, or definitely establish the position of the facilities. (6) Unless otherwise specified in the Project Specifications, all concrete and asphalt surfaced pavements shall be sawed before removal and/or repair. (7) Necessary arrangements shall be made by the Contractor with all persons, firms, corporations owning or using any poles, pipes, tracks, or conduits, etc., affected by the construction on this Project, to maintain and protect such facilities during construction with the cost of any such protection paid by the Con- tractor and included in the Contract price. All off- right of way encroachments are totally the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall provide the Owner and Engineer with written proof that such encroachments are made with the full knowledge and consent of the property owners involved. In the event that any existing gas pipes, water pipes, conduits, sewers, tile drains or poles are blocked or interfered with by the excavation required on this Project, the Contractor shall maintain Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 3 them in continuous operation, and restore them to the same condition as they were prior to the start of construction of this Project, all at no additional compensation. (8) Excavated material shall not be placed on grass plots unless there is no other suitable place to put it. Excavated material shall be placed on pavements or sidewalks only on the explicit approval of the Engineer. (9) Sidewalks and pavements must in no case be blocked or obstructed by excavated material, except on the authorization of the Engineer, and then only when adequate provisions have been made for a satisfactory temporary passage of pedestrians and vehicles. Adequate bridging and planked crossings must be provided and maintained across all open trenches for pedestrians and vehicles. Barriers, lights, flares, and watchmen shall be provided and maintained by the Contractor at all trenches, excavations, and embankments at no additional compensation, as provided in the General Conditions of the Contract. (10) The Contract price shall include the furnishing and installation of all temporary sheeting, shoring, timbering and bracing required to maintain the excavation in a condition to furnish safe working conditions and to permit the safe and efficient installation of all items of contract work. The Contractor shall further, at his own expense, shore up, or otherwise protect all fences, buildings, walls, walks, curbs, or other property adjacent to any excavation which might be disturbed during the progress of the work. The Contractor will be held liable for any damage which may result to neighboring property from excavation or construction operations. (11) Lumber used for sheeting may consist of any species which will satisfactorily stand driving. It shall be sawn, or hewn, with square corners, and shall be free from worm holes, loose knots, wind shakes, decayed or unsound portions, or other defects which might impair its strength or tightness. Minimum thickness shall be 2-inch nominal. Lumber for bracing shall be No. 2 common yard lumber of timber in less than six (6) inch sizes, and common structural grade on timbers six (6) inches and over in width. (12) The sheeting and bracing shall be removed as the work progresses in such a manner as to prevent the caving in of the Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 4 sides of the excavations, or any damage to the masonry. While being drawn, all vacancies left by the sheeting and bracing shall be carefully filled with fine sand and rammed by special tools, or puddled as directed by the Engineer. (13) Sheeting, shoring, timbering, and bracing for open trenches and excavations may be ordered left in place by the Owner or the Engineer when such is necessary for the protection of the work, the public, or the adjacent property. Any sheeting so ordered left in place will be paid for at a rate named in the Contract, or in the manner established in the General Conditions of the Contract, said price to cover the furnishing, cutting, placing, and bracing. (14) The Contract price in this Contract shall include the cost of all temporary supports and braces that may be necessary to secure a safe prosecution of the work until the permanent structure is complete; such temporary supports must in all cases be removed by the Contractor at his own expense after or concurrently with the completion of the permanent structure. (15) The Contractor shall do all ditching, pumping, well pointing, and bailing, build all drains, and do all other work necessary to keep the excavation clear of ground water, sewage or storm water during the progress of the work, and until finished work is safe from injury. Where the excavation is wet sand, and suitable construction conditions cannot be obtained by other methods, the Contractor shall install and operate, at no additional .compensation, a pumping. system connected with well points, so .,as: to ; drain the same effectually. No masonry or pipe shall be laid in water, and water shall not be allowed to rise over masonry until concrete or mortar has set at least 24 hours. All water pumped or drained from the work shall be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer without damage to adjacent property or to other work under construction. Necessary precautions shall be taken to protect all construction, against flooding. (16) Whenever the excavation is carried beyond the lines and grades shown on the Contract Drawings, or given by the Engineer, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, refill all such excavated space with such material and in such a manner as may be directed. Beneath and around concrete structures, space excavated without authority shall be thoroughly compacted when Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 5 refilling; or, if deemed necessary by the Engineer, shall be refilled with concrete at the Contractor's expense. (17) If the materials encountered on any excavation are not suitable for structural foundations; or, if necessary to go an additional depth or width from that designated on the Contract Drawings to provide proper bearing for pipe or masonry, or to construct pile or plank foundations, the Contractor shall make such additional excavations outside the regular limits of the work as may be directed by the Engineer. The cost of such additional excavation when authorized by the Engineer shall be paid as Extra Clay Excavation. (18) Excavated material shall be deposited so as to interfere as little as possible with the execution of the whole work or its several parts, and in such a manner that for each purpose the most suitable material may be placed in its final position but not in a manner to interfere with the satisfactory carrying out of the work. Such material as cannot be placed in its final positon in fills and embankments shall be removed to a temporary spoil bank, from which it shall later be taken and placed in embankments or fills. (19) Unsuitable and surplus excavated material not in- corporated in the improvement shall be disposed of by the Contractor, at his own expense, unless otherwise designated in the Project Specification or, on the Contract Drawings. (20) If private land is used by the Contractor as a spoil site, or for equipment storage, the Contractor shall obtain written per- mission from the Owner or Agent of he land agreeing to its use for this purpose, and provide the project Owner with a certified copy of such agreement. (21) Where trenches are constructed in or across roadway ditches or other water courses, the fill material shall be protected from surface erosion. (22) All material deposited in roadway ditches or other water courses crossed by the line of the trench or near a structure shall be removed immediately after backfilling is completed and the section grades and contours of such ditches or water courses restored to their original condition, in order that surface drainage will be obstructed no longer than necessary. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 6 (23) Construction procedures during backfilling of trenches shall proceed in such a manner that water will not be diverted from its previous course. (24) Whenever the excavation results in both unsuitable material and good material, the Contractor shall make every effort to keep these separate. The Engineer shall direct the replacement of the better material upon refilling the ditch. (b) TRENCH EXCAVATION (1) GENERAL - The ground shall be excavated in open trenches, of sufficient width and depth to provide ample room within the limits of the excavation, or lines of sheeting and bracing, for the proper construction of the sewer or drain and its appurtenances as shown on the Contract Drawings and for removing any material which the Engineer may deem unsuitable for foundation. The excavation of the trench shall not advance more than 200 feet ahead of the completed masonry and pipe work, except where, in the opinion of the Engineer, it is necessary to drain wet ground. When trench excavation is carried ahead of contemplated masonry and pipe work, the elevation of the bottom of the trench shall be continually checked to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Excavation made below that necessary for the proper installation of the sewers, masonry, and appurtenances shall be refilled only with properly -graded :crushed rock, thoroughly compacted, all at the Contractor's expense. Where it is necessary on pipeline construction to install sheet piling, the maximum allowable trench width herein specified shall be measured between the inside faces of the sheeting. All excavation for pipes and fittings shall result in trench . of sufficient depth to provide the depth of cover below established grade, as shown on the Contract Drawings, and/or as specified in the Project Specifications. If depth of cover is not shown on the Contract Drawings or so specified, the minimum cover to the top of pipe shall be three (3) feet. Grades will be established by the Engineer's Contract Drawings, but shall be transferred to the ditch by the Contractor. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 7 In clay excavation, except Buried Pressure Pipelines whose trenching is covered in part by Section 6, the bottom of the trench shall be excavated to a minimum depth of six (6) inches, unless otherwise noted in the Project Specifications, below the bottom of the pipe barrel and this space refilled with N.C. Department of Transportation Standard Aggregate Size 67, or other non-compressible fine low void material satisfactory to the Engineer as bedding. This bedding shall be slightly rounded to provide as much bearing area as possible for the lower quarter of the pipe. Clay shall be interpreted to mean all soils other than rock, and/or gravel. The cost of the additional excavation and refill shall be merged in the unit bid and contract price for the pipe sewer, unless provisions are made in the Proposal for a Unit Price on "TRENCH BEDDING MATERIAL." In this case, the refill costs are bid as unit prices. In sand and gravel excavation, the bottom of the excavation shall be slightly rounded to provide as much bearing area as possible for the lower quarter of the pipe. On all installations on which the strength of the pipe will not withstand the weight of the backfill and any super-imposed load indicated on the Contract Drawings, resulting from excessive width of trench at the top of the pipe, and the width of trench as excavated, measured at the top of the pipe to be installed, exceeds the maximum allowable width herein specified; the Con- tractor either shall furnish and install a concrete cradle to the section shown on the Contract Drawings, with the specifications hereinafter stated, or shall furnish and place between the pipe and the bottom and the sides of the trench up to a level 12" above the top of the pipe with• No. 67 stone or other non-compressible fine, low-void material satisfactory to the Engineer, at no additional compensation over the Contract Unit Price for the additional stone or concrete. The provision of this paragraph shall apply unless specifically excepted in the Project Specifications. (2) GRAVITY PIPELINES - When sewer or cast iron pipe of the bell and spigot type is to be installed in the trench, bell holes of sufficient depth shall be dug across the bottom of the trench to accommodate the bell and to permit adequate caulking. Where pipe sewers are built, the width of the trench at the top of the pipes shall not exceed the internal diameter of the sewer plus two (2) feet thru 24" I.D. pipe. Pipe larger than 24" I.D. shall be laid in a trench width equal to the pipe internal diameter plus Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 8 three (3) feet. A greater width may be permitted by the Engineer when it is necessary to sheet the trench or when special equipment is used. There shall be at least four (4) inches of clear space on each side of the pipe to permit placing of backfill around pipe. The Contractor shall note that when gravity pipelines, manholes, catch basins and related items are presented in Unit Price schedules and when the pricing for these items are requested on a depth of cut basis, the depth of cut shall always refer to the perpendicular distance along the centerline of the structure or pipe from the flow line or invert, to the natural ground surface. (3) PRESSURE PIPELINES - On all pipelines where pipe joint units extend beyond the diameter of the pipe barrel, bell holes shall be provided across the trench at each joint and lug location. Bell holes shall be deep enough and wide enough to accommodate the flare of the pipe being installed, and to permit ample room to construct the joint. The maximum trench width at the top of the pipes shall not exceed the internal diameter of the pipe plus two (2) feet thru 24" I.D. pipe. Pipe larger than 24" I.D. shall be laid in a trench width equal to the pipe internal diameter plus three (3) feet. Where required, the Engineer may permit wider excavation to allow for sheeting or as special conditions dictate. Excavation for service pipe installation shall be carried out in compliance with the following specifications. The ground shall be excavated in open trenches, except where specifically required in the Project Specifications to be placed in tunnels or borings, and to a depth necessary to secure three (3) feet of cover. No water service ditch shall be dug nearer than eighteen (18) inches to a parallel trench. In firm and unyielding soil, water service pipes may be laid in a shelf cut in the side of a house drain trench. When this procedure is followed, the top of the sewer pipe (house drain) must be a minimum of eighteen (18) inches below the grade of the water service pipe. The house drain trench shall be first backfilled up to the height of the shelf. The backfill shall be thoroughly compacted by placing in six (6) inch layers and tamping. The water service pipe shall be placed on the shelf at least twelve (12) inches from the side of the house drain trench. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 9 (c) STRUCTURE EXCAVATION Excavation for manholes, catch basins, inlets, valves and special structures shall be made to the depth and dimensions necessary for the proper installations of all structures shown on the Contract Drawings. Care shall be taken that the foundation area of the structure is not excavated below grade except when rock is encountered. Where masonry is built directly against the sides or bottom of the excavations, the final trimming shall be done just before the masonry is placed. The Contractor shall note that when gravity pipelines, manholes, catch basins and related items are presented in Unit Price schedules and when the pricing for these items are. requested on a depth of cut basis, the depth of cut shall always refer to the perpendicular distance along the centerline of the structure or pipe to the natural ground surface. (d) ROCK EXCAVATION (1) Wherever the word "Rock" appears, it shall be interpreted to mean any material encountered of a uniform hardness of three (3) in the scale of mineral hardness and/or any material which cannot be removed from its original position with a 300 hp (minimum), 70,000 lb. working weight (minimum) dozer with a rock ripping attachment, power excavator in good condition without continuous drilling and blasting. The Contractor will be responsible for proving, by demonstration and photographic evidence that slate, shale, sandstone, or other hard material encountered cannot be removed with heavy equipment without continuous drilling and blasting. Other materials shall not be classed as rock, although-it may be more economical to remove same by blasting. Boulders will not be classified as rock unless larger than 1/2 cubic yard. (2) Should rock be encountered in the excavation, it shall be removed by blasting or otherwise. Where blasts are made, the excavation shall be carefully covered with suitable brush; timber or matting to prevent danger to life and property. The Contractor shall secure all permits required by law for blasting operations and any additional hazard insurance required; the cost of such permits and insurance to be borne by the Contractor. No loaded holes shall be left unattended or overnight without approval from the Engineer. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 10 (3) Materials classified as "Rock" in these Specifications, if encountered, shall be excavated to not less than three (3) inches below the grade of the bottom of structures and six (6) inches below the bottom of pipes, or conduit to be installed, unless specifically shown on the Contract Drawings to be removed to a greater depth. After such rock is removed, the excavation shall be backfilled with N.C. Department of Transportation Stone #67 or other non-compressible fine low void material satisfactory to the Engineer, and consolidated to place the top surface at the grade established on the Contract Drawings for the bottom of the structure, pipe or conduit. Bearing surface for pipes shall be slightly rounded to provide as much bearing area as possible for the lower quarter of the pipe. The cost of furnishing, placing and consolidating of such fill-material shall be entered as the unit price for "TRENCH BACKFILL MATERIAL," except in proposals where this item does not appear. In these cases this cost shall be merged in the unit price bid for rock excavation. In Proposals that do not have a rock clause, the cost for rock excavation and material backfill shall be considered to be unclassified and shall be merged with the unit price for pipe, or the lump sum bid for the project. 8.02.2 FOUNDATIONS, STRENGTHENING (a) GENERAL (1) Whenever the ground is sufficiently firm and unyielding, and specially allowed by the Engineer, the masonry shall be laid directly`. on the bottom . of: the excavation and pipes or conduits shall be laid as specified under (b) Trench Excavation. (2) When so designated on the Contract Drawings, or ordered by the Engineer, excavated areas shall be strengthened for foundation purposes by furnishing and placing crushed rock or gravel backfill, concrete cradle or encasement, timber cradles, timber piling or a combination of these materials. (3) After the excavation is opened and to grade, it will be examined by the Engineer who will determine whether or not it is a satisfactory foundation for masonry or pipes, or if it is necessary to stabilize the base, install concrete or timber cradle, concrete encasement or drive piling. Any masonry or pipe in- stalled in an excavation that has not been examined by the Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 11 Engineer, is so installed at the Contractor's own risk. Where deemed necessary by the Engineer, a soil load test shall be made to determine the safe bearing capacity of the ground. The cost of this test shall be considered an extra and will be paid in the manner allowed by Section 4.11, "Change of Contract Price", in the General Conditions. (4) When backfill or cradle is to be placed on any material which will run or move when wet, sheeting must be employed during construction to keep adequate side supports on each side of sewer trench so that weight of cradle and/or sewer will not tend to cause bottom material to run to each side of the excavation. In extremely fluid materials, at the direction of the Owner, wood sheeting shall be used and left in place. In this case, the backfill or cradle shall extend the entire width between sheeting. If deemed necessary by the Engineer, the pipe shall be rigidly anchored or weighted to prevent flotation when the concrete is placed. (b) Crushed rock or gravel backfill shall be placed to the depth shown on the Contract Drawings, or as ordered by the Engineer, but in no case shall the depth be less than six (6) inches. If the backfill is greater than six (6) inches in depth, the balance of the material must have sufficient amounts of graded stone or coarse sand to fill all voids between rock fragments. The top of the backfill under pipes shall be slightly rounded to provide as much bearing as possible for the lower quarter of the pipe. At the direction of the Engineer, the Contractor may be required to backfill the entire trench to a depth of twelve (12) inches above the pipe with sand or gravel. This special backfill will be utilized in, _wet and/or.-unstable areas as determined by the Engineer. This material will be paid for as described in section 8.03.7. (c) Concrete cradle or encasement shall be furnished and placed including reinforcing steel, if required, to the details shown on the Contract Drawings or as ordered by the Engineer. (d) Timber cradles shall be fabricated and placed to the details shown on the Contract Drawings, or ordered by the Engineer. Lumber for planking, timbering, or bracing shall be No. 2 common yard lumber, for timber in sizes less than six (6) inch nominal, and common structural grade for timbers over six (6) inches nominal. All cradle lumber and planking shall be sawn or hewn with square corners, and shall be free from worm holes, loose knots, wind shakes, decayed or unsound portions, or other defects which might impair its strength or tightness. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 12 All lumber and timber shall be subject to inspection by the Engineer before it is incorporated in the finished work. (e) Pile foundations shall be furnished and placed to the details shown on the Contract Drawings or ordered by the Engineer. (1) Equipment and methods used for driving piling shall be satisfactory to the Engineer. A protecting cap shall be used in driving; and the hammer shall be of suitable size and type. Combination water and air jets may be used to make the driving easier when so approved by the Engineer. The Contractor is hereby advised to purchase piling so designated or ordered only after a test. pile (or piles) has been placed. When piling is required the Contractor; when ordered by the Engineer, shall furnish and place test piles in a location designated by the Engineer. The bearing value of driven piles will be computed on the basis of the Engineering News Record Formula. For piling shown on the Contract Drawings, the Project Specifications designate the bearing values to which the piling shall be driven. For piling not shown on the Contract Drawings, piling shall be supplied and driven to the bearing value designated by the Engineer. When so ordered by the Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish and place framework and loading for an actual test load on the pile. Piling shall be driven plumb in all directions payment unless otherwise shown or ordered and to a minimum of 12 feet. Excavation performed, when authorized, in order to facilitate the driving of piling shall be backfilled and compacted, and no payment will be made therefor. Driving of piles will not be permitted within 500 feet of concrete being placed, or less than 24 hours _ old, nor within 200 feet of concrete less than 7 days old. All piles, including test piles, shall be paid for according to 8.03.3 and/or 8.03.4. 8.02.3 BACKFILL (a) Unless otherwise directed, all trenches and excavation shall be backfilled as soon as joints have been made. No pipelines having bituminous or concrete joints, shall be backfilled until the joints have acquired a suitable degree of hardness. No pressure pipelines shall be backfilled around the joints until the leakage tests have been made and leaks that are discovered are repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer. No gravity pipelines shall be backfilled above the top of the pipe until the sewer elevations, gradient, alignment, and pipe joints have been checked, inspected and approved by the Engineer. All backfilling oper- Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 Page 13 ations shall be carried out evenly on both sides of the pipe. Care shall be taken that no rock, frozen material or other hard substances are placed in contact with the pipe. All gravity pipelines shall be held in place by cable and winch or other suitable method satisfactory to the Engineer during backfill operations so that there will be no movement in the pipe joints. Excavations for manholes, catch basins, inlets and other structures shall be backfilled as soon as they have developed sufficient strength to resist backfilling loads and forces. (b) The pipe shall then be covered by hand to a depth of 12 inches above the top of the pipe with clean, dry earth. The material shall be placed in layers not exceeding six (6) inches in depth, and each layer thoroughly tamped and compacted by hand, with at least one man tamping -for each man depositing : -material in the trench. Material for backfilling the space between the pipe and the bottom and sides of the trench, and for covering to the depth noted above, shall be clean dry earth, free from stones larger than two (2) inches, frozen material or other hard substances (except for conditions hereinafter defined). (c) The remainder of the trench (except those constructed within pavement or sidewalk limits) shall be backfilled by using the material originally excavated from the ditch to a height slightly above the original elevation of the ground. This backfill commencing 12" above the installed pipe shall be placed in lifts not exceeding two (2) feet. Mechanical compaction of this two (2) foot lift shall be sufficient to insure firm and unyielding soil prior to the placement of additional lifts. Backfilling shall not be left unfinished more than 300 feet behind the masonry or pipe work. No heavy rock shall be dropped into the trench nor placed within three (3) feet of the pipe. In depositing rock in the trench; care -must be taken: that: the. rock does not injure the structure. All spaces between pieces of rock shall be filled with earth to insure there being no voids. (d) Trenches constructed within the limits of any existing pavement or sidewalk shall be backfilled to the underside of the pavement or sidewalk with No. 67 stone thoroughly compacted, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. The cost of this special backfill will be paid for at the Contract unit price for gravel backfill unless the material excavated is suitable for backfilling, in the opinion of the Engineer, in which case no special backfill will be paid for. On that part of the sewer that is constructed under unpaved areas in the streets, alleys, driveways, parking areas or other ornamental grounds, the backfill shall be thoroughly compacted after which all depressions formed shall be filled to a point slightly above the original elevation of the top of the ditch. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 8 - Page 14 (e) Pipelines shall in all cases be covered with earth to a depth of not less than three (3) feet above the top of the pipe or as shown on the Contract Drawings; and where the trenches do not furnish sufficient backfill material, the Contractor shall supply such material as is required at no added compensation. If additional filling beyond three (3) feet is required to be placed over a pipeline for its protection, the Contractor shall furnish and spread earth, cinders or clean ashes, free from animal or vegetable matter, in such a manner and in sufficient quantity so that after it is thoroughly compacted the embankment will be of the uniform grade and cross-section and of the dimensions shown on the Contract Drawings, at no added compensation. Such filling shall have a width extending at least two (2). feet..outside.of the pipeline on both sides and shall be so constructed that Tnatural,drainage courses are not blocked. (f) Excavation for manholes, catch basins, inlets and structures shall be backfilled in the same manner as the adjoining pipelines to which they are connected or a part thereof. (g) All surplus excavated material which is not used in backfilling shall be loaded and disposed of by the Contractor at his own expense, unless otherwise noted. (h) Any settlement of the backfill below the original ground surface shall be remedied by the Contractor for a period of one year after final completion and acceptance upon receipt of written notice from the Owner. 8.03 MEASUREMENT FOR PAYMENT AND COMPENSATION 8.03.1 GENERAL If any or all of the work to be performed under this Contract is on a unit price basis, the actual number of units of each unit price item of work actually performed may be more or less than the number stated in the Bidding Schedule of the Proposal, or included in the Contract; but no variation in the Contract unit price will be made on that account.

All forms, false work, sheeting and bracing shall be removed before backfilling around the structure. Masonry structures shall be allowed to set for a minimum period of 24 hours before backfilling. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 10 Page g 10.03.4 INVERTS AND CHANNELS Inverts and channels shall be grouted into bottoms of structures so as to provide smooth transitions for change in direction of flow and change in grade. The channel shall be formed by grouting up to the springline of the pipe and uniformly sloping the bottom, on a three to one slope, to the sides of the manhole. Bricks may be used to reduce the quantity of grout required on the "shelf' of the invert. At no time shall the Contractor use calcium chloride to speed the setting of the grout. The Contractor shall use hydraulic grout sealers only with the Engineer's prior approval. 10.03.5 PLACING AND SETTING CASTINGS The castings for the drainage structure shall be set at the required elevation and properly anchored and grouted to the masonry. Where manholes are constructed in paved areas, the top surface of the frame and cover shall be tilted to conform to the exact slope, crown and grade of the existing adjacent pavement. 10.03.6 MANHOLE DIAMETER Internal diameter of manhole shall be sized according to the diameter of the largest pipe exiting the manhole. For nominal size pipe of twenty- four (24) inch diameter or smaller, the internal diameter of the manhole shall be four (4) feet unless otherwise shown on the Contract Drawings. For nominal size pipe greater than twenty-four (24) inch diameter, but equal to or less than thirty-six (36) inch diameter, the internal diameter of the manhole shall be five (5) feet. For nominal pipe sizes larger than thirty-six (36) inch diameter, the internal diameter of the manhole shall be as specified in the Project Specifications or as shown on the Contract Drawings. 10.03.7 MANHOLES, INLETS, CATCH BASINS, VAULTS AND DRAINAGE STRUCTURES OVER EXISTING LINES All structures that will be constructed over existing lines shall have any abandoned, connecting pipe broken out. The pipe openings shall be bricked up and sealed with new flow lines formed as required in the Contract Drawings. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 10 Page 9 .10.03.8 BREAKING DOWN & FILLING OF ABANDONED MANHOLES, CATCH BASINS, ETC. (a) All structures noted to be abandoned shall have all connecting pipe plugged with grout and/or mortar and brick. The top of the structure shall be removed to an elevation of 2 feet below subgrade or below the springline, where noted, and the structure filled with select earth material properly tamped. The Contractor shall dispose of all surplus materials resulting from the abandoning of any structures; how- ever, every effort shall be made to salvage the castings which shall become the property of the Owner. (b) The quantity of abandoned structures broken down, filled in and accepted will be measured and paid for at the contract Lump Sum price per each "Breaking Down and Filling Abandoned Manholes, Catch Basins, and etc.". Such prices and payments will be full compensation for all material, plugging pipe openings, breaking down of structures, backfilling, removing of broken materials and other incidentals necessary to complete the work as required. 10.03.9 DROP MANHOLES (a) A drop manhole shall be constructed when the difference between the inverts of inlet. and outlet pipe is greater than two feet. A drop manhole shall consist of a standard manhole having a drop of pipe, encased in Class "C" concrete constructed on the outside of the manhole as shown on the Contract Drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the fitting and pipe material for the drop shall be cast iron mechanical joint pipe. (b) The pipe specials at the top and bottom of the drop, the straight pipe used in drop and the concrete encasement for the drop shall be included and constructed as part of the unit price for drop manholes. 10.03. 10 CLEAN-UP OF STRUCTURES All excess materials; dirt, sand, rock, grout, concrete, forming materials, trash and debris shall be removed from structures and disposed of by the Contractor off the project site unless specific arrangements are made to the contrary with the Engineer. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 10 Page 10 _ 10.03. 11 CAST IN PLACE CONCRETE MANHOLES, CATCH BASINS, INLETS, VAULTS AND DRAINAGE STRUCTURES (a) Cast in place structures shall be constructed as specified in Section 12, Miscellaneous Metalwork and Section 9, Concrete Reinforcing, of the General and Project Specifications and the Contract Drawings. (b) Cast in place structure shall be paid for as part of the Lump Sum Base Bid and shall be complete as specified or shown on the Contract Drawings unless otherwise indicated. 10.04 METHOD OF PAYMENT AND MEASUREMENT 10.04.1 MEASUREMENTS OF MANHOLES Manhole depths shall be measured from the lowest invert to the top of manhole ring. Payment shall be based on a unit price for the depth of manhole built. Each manhole depth shall be as shown on the Contract Drawings. The depth classification shall be as follows: Greater than 0 feet but equal to or less than 6 feet. Greater than 6 feet but equal to or less than 8 feet. Greater than 8 feet but equal to or less than 10 feet. Greater than 10 feet but equal to or less than 12 feet. Greater than 12 feet but equal to or less than 14 feet. Greater than 14 feet but equal to or less than 16 feet. Greater than 16 feet but equal to or less than 18 feet. To be continued in this manner until the depth range covers the deepest manhole in the proposed Project. 10.04.2 MEASUREMENT OF CATCH BASINS, DROP INLETS, CURB INLETS OR ANY OTHER DRAINAGE STRUCTURE Catch basins, drop inlets, curb inlets or any other drainage structures shall be measured from the lowest invert to the inlet point of the structure. Payment shall be based on a unit price for the depth of the structure built. The depth of each structure shall be as shown on the Contract Drawings. Depth classification shall be as follows: Greater than 0 feet but equal to or less than 6 feet. Greater than 6 feet but equal to or less than 8 feet. Rev. 10/91 SECTION 10 Page 11 Greater than 8 feet but equal to or less than 10 feet. Greater than 10 feet but equal to or less than 12 feet. Greater than 12 feet but equal to or less than 14 feet. Greater than 14 feet but equal to or less than 16 feet. Greater than 16 feet but equal to or less than 18 feet. To be continued in this manner until the depth range covers the deepest structure in the proposed Project. 10.04.3 MEASUREMENT FOR PAYMENT OF MASONRY VAULTS Masonry vaults shall be paid for as Lump Sum unit price items.

(of- rt?p?a? sttucthn) to discuss the piping of app OXItnately 290' of stream ruhning thrbugk Mr. Cheeks Tovota* dealership. Although { din opposed to piping this much stream, .especially In a'Town where flooding and development is such a 1 problem, we all. came to an agNetnent bn how to approach this situation. '1 The lot across t e road. from Mr: Cheek k going to have a hotel and drug store built on it and the con pirction Hull (as well as Mr. Cheek) is wanting to pert the fill dirt on Mir. Cheek's Toyot 'lot 'in order to provide more level ground. to extend the czar tot. The construction is W ,tart soon $o all parties. want the 401 issued as soon as paisible. I r ' tallied at length with Mr. 144mpton- (who will do the pipe installation and appear d to be ? a very conscientious iwrson) and this Is our agreement; I) No pipe will be installed approximately 90 feet from the existing box culvert undemeath New Market Drtve.. This will allow the applicant to fill about 200 fees of stream and should still enable.him to enlarge his lot quite a bit. 2) "Energy Dissip terse (rocks) should be plated ac the end of the neNly installed pipe within this 90 foot sec-Jon of stream. W wrai vegetation should b-a allowed to grow in Ebb area. ' 3) A stozmwater pond(s) or settling basins of some kind must be In place to . handle the ma(orky of runoff-from. the eAting and new Iots. part of this stream is aireadyr piped and the existing pipe Is too small. Mr. Cheek plans to remove the small pipe and mviace It with adequately sized pipe. The streann Is located In a highly developed .area of Boone and if everything Is installed as we discussed at the site 1 think that water quaft should be maintained if not enhanced. Mr. Cheek agreed to dwe eondidons even th6ugb he strongly -wanted to pipe the endre length of seam. --504- JJ/1J Jm- L I - j State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Ja mes & Hunt, Jr., G ove mor Jonathan B.
