1.0 INTRODUCTION
Arauco North America, Inc. (Arauco), located at 985 Corinth Rd., Moncure, NC 27559, Chatham
County, owns and operates a medium density fiberboard and wood moulding manufacturing plant in
Moncure, NC. Process wastewater that is generated by plant operations and on -site air scrubber units
is collected in Pond 51) for settling. From Pond 5D, settled wastewater is currently pumped to several
grit settling ponds (Pond 4, 2 and 3), mixed with treated sanitary wastewater in Pond 2 then pumped
from Pond 3 to multiple spray fields under NC non -discharge Permit No. WQ0003396.
The current sprayfield has a declining hydraulic capacity, and now is rated for approximately 39,000
GPD, approximately 31% of the permitted daily wastewater flow. For this reason, Arauco plans to
discontinue spray field operations and discharge pond effluent to the municipal sanitary sewer system
owned and operated by the City of Sanford. To keep the plant operational, Arauco now operates
under an additional pump and haul permit (WQ0041434) to dispose of wastewater that cannot be
pumped to the irrigation system. In order to keep the existing wastewater pond in service, North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) is requiring Arauco to raise the existing
top elevation of the Pond 5D berm (approximately elevation 172.5) two feet above the published
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Map 100-year flood plain elevation (elevation
176.5).
After review of multiple options, Arauco has chosen to modify its WWTP by raising the berm of the
wastewater pond 5D two feet above the 100 year flood plain elevation while maintaining the current
pond volume to continue its use as a facultative lagoon.
The facility's sanitary wastewater is collected and treated separately from the process WWTP,
therefore this proposed modification request is only for process wastewater treatment. This permit
application report provides a general description of the project with wastewater characterization,
treatment plant modifications design, and provides information requested on North Carolina's
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) permit modification application form WWIS 06-16.
Appendix A includes the completed WWIS06-16 form. Design drawings and technical specifications
for the modification are being submitted under separate cover for NCDEQ's review.
Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. -I- Wastewater Irrigation System Permit Modification
October 2020

1.1 GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Existing major WWTP processes include a 6.2 MG working volume storage lagoon (Pond 5D)
(volume to El. 170.5, 2 feet below top of berm El 172.5) and a wastewater spray irrigation system
serving eight (8) spray fields totaling 33.85 acres.
This process handles process wastewater only. Sanitary wastewater is handled in an on -site biological
treatment plant and mixed with pond 5D wastewater prior to sprayfield application.
There is an adjoining Pond 5C segregated from the industrial WWTP system that receives local
rainwater (i.e., rainwater into the pond itself). There is no typical discharge from Pond 5C. Pond 5C
has the ability to discharge into 5D to lower its volume. Pond 5C was created to be process makeup
water. Upon completion of the Pond 5D modifications, Pond 5C will only be used for local
stormwater storage.
1.2 PROCESS WASTEWATER CHARACTERIZATION
A process flow schematic for wastewater at the facility is attached as Appendix B. Influent process
wastewater characterization is summarized in the following table (Table 1). Wastewater samples
were collected from the 100,000 gallon screened water storage tank (" 100 K Tank") over December
2019 — June 2020. This tank is discharged directly to Pond 5D for disposal. One sample was collected
directly from Pond 5D as well during the 6/29/20 sampling event. A summary of the characterization
data collected is included as Appendix C.
1.3 TREATMENT PLANT EFFLUENT
Table 2 is a summary of the wastewater either sent to sprayfield or to pump and haul. Both discharge
sources are collected from the same location.
Table 3 is a summary of typical wastewater characteristics from ongoing pump and haul operations.
This wastewater is also sampled from Pond 3, and includes additional parameters not included in the
sprayfield effluent. These samples are indicative of an effluent quality acceptable to the City of
Sanford.

2.0 TREATMENT PLANT MODIFICATION
Design of the Pond 5D modifications is discussed in additional detail in the following subsections.
Proposed modifications consist of raising the berm on Pond 5D to 2 feet above the 100 year flood
plain elevation. In order to complete the berm modification with minimal site impact, portions of
Pond 5D will be filled in to raise the berm. To offset the lost volume, it is proposed to expand Pond
5D into a portion of the adjoining 5C pond.
Pond 5C is an adjoining pond currently only used for additional rainwater storage by the mill. Pond
5C does not see significant stormwater runoff from the mill property, only from the local pond area
inside the berm. Pond 5C was formerly a process water pond, and was created when Pond 5 was split
in half, creating Ponds 5C and 5D. Pond 5D has continued use as a process wastewater pond. Pond
5C does not have process wastewater discharged to it. Once the City of Sanford has completed its
sewer line extension, Pond 5C will be converted to use as a stormwater storage pond only. The Pond
5C capacity (at El. 172.5) will be reduced from approximately 8.28 MG to 4.28 MG. This volume
reduction is not anticipated to effect the current Pond 5C operation.
No other modification to the treatment system are proposed.
Engineering design calculations are included as Appendix D.

3.0 ADDITIONAL WASTEWATER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS APPLICATION INFORMATION
This section provides information specifically requested in NCDEQs permit application form WWIS
06-16 and has been segregated into relevant and non -relevant information. For this permit
application, information pertaining to any processes involving the spray irrigation system or Pond 5D
base elevation has been deemed non -relevant due to no changes are proposed to the existing permitted
system.
3.1 RELEVANT APPLICATION INFORMATION
3.1.1 Property Ownership Documentation
Item D of NCDEQs form WWIS 06-16 indicates that proof of ownership of the facility must be
provided. As this application is a modification of an existing permit and no changes in ownership
have taken place, property ownership documentation is likely not needed. However, a copy of the
Article of Incorporation has been provided in Appendix E.
3.1.2 Engineering Plans
Engineering plans for the proposed modifications are provided under separate cover. Information
specific to spray irrigation has not been included as part of this submission, as no modifications or
new spray irrigation areas are proposed.
3.1.3 Specifications
Detailed specifications for site work, materials and equipment testing are provided under separate
cover, and are signed, sealed and dated by an NC Registered Engineer.
3.1.4 Site Map
A site map has been provided as part of the engineering plans provided under separate cover. The
proposed WWTP modifications are located in and around the existing wastewater treatment area.
Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. -8- Wastewater Irrigation System Permit Modification
October 2020

Please note that soil mapping units as well as setback distances for spray irrigation are not included
on the site map as no new spray irrigation areas are being proposed. Appendix F includes copies of
the site maps included as part of the current permits.
3.1.5 Operation and Maintenance Plan
The current Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plan has been included in Appendix G. A final
O&M Plan will be provided with the final engineering certification prior to start-up of the new system.
It is anticipated that the current O&M Plan will be adequate for the modified pond operation.
3.1.6 Residuals Management Plan
A copy of the current Residuals Management Plan is included in Appendix H. It is anticipated that
the current Residuals Management Plan will be adequate for the modified pond operation.
3.1.7 Most Recently Issued Existing Permit
A copy of the most recently issued existing permit has been provided in Appendix I.
3.1.8 Threatened or Endangered Aquatic Species Documentation
Documentation from NCDEQ Natural Heritage Program has been included as Appendix J. This
documentation indicates that there are no threatened or endangered aquatic species within the
boundary of the proposed WWTP modification.
3.1.9 Wastewater Chemical Analysis
An analysis of the influent wastewater was discussed in Section 1.2 of this application report with a

ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS

1.1 BASIS OF DESIGN
It is proposed to raise the berm surrounding existing Pond 51) from an elevation of 172.50 to an
elevation of 179.50. This will bring the top of berm to an elevation that is 2.0 feet above the FEMA
Flood Elevation of 176.50 determined in this area for Shaddox Creek as shown on FEMA FIRM Map
3710968700K. The intent of the design is to maintain the volume of existing Pond 51) without changing
the working elevation of the pond. By maintaining the working elevation of the pond, the need to
change upstream process piping is avoided. The existing Pond 51) has a top of berm elevation of 172,50,
and a working elevation of 170.50. The bottom of pond varies from 161.00 to 165.00. The existing and
proposed volume calculations are shown in Table 1.0 below. The numbers were derived using existing
and proposed one -foot contours and applying the conic method to determine the volume of pond.

Description of Residual Generation, Storage, & Disposal
1. Domestic Residuals
II. Mud & Sediment
III. Process wastewater residuals
The Moncure site generates residuals in the three different areas. Each residual stream
for each area has differing characteristics and is handled in its own respective way. The
characteristics and handling methods will be described below for each residual stream.
I. Domestic Residuals are generated by Moncure site employees.
a. 100% of the domestic wastewater is tributary to and treated by the
D"CO Tertiary Wastewater Treatment Plant.
b. Sludge is wasted to the sludge holding tank
c. When necessary the tank is pumped by a septage hauler and transported to
the City of Sanford Municipal Wastewater Treatment plant for treatment
and disposal.
Note: No domestic solids or residuals are treated any further nor disposed of
on the Moncure site. All residuals must be taken to a municipal wastewater
treatment plant for further treatment and disposal.

Dear Mr. McMillian:
NORTH CAROLINA

Subject: Permit No. WQ0003396
Arauco — Moncure WWTF
Wastewater Irrigation System
Chatham County
In accordance with your permit renewal and name change request received February 5, 2019, and
subsequent additional information received April 26, 2019, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQ0003396 dated July 23, 2019, to Arauco North America, Inc. for the continued operation of the subject
wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities.
The following modifications to the subject permit are as follows: The permitted flowrate for this
facility is reduced to 39,525 gallons per day (GPD) due to reduced disposal capacity; the maximum
application rates for the fields are reduced as shown in Attachment B due to the condition of the soil; Field
10 is removed from this permit due to its encroachment on nearby wetlands; the unused treatment units
used for the closed -loop system are being removed from this permit; and the flow in conduit or through the
treatment plant is being measured after Pond 3, prior to irrigation.
The following modification requests could not be satisfied at this time:
➢ The addition of boiler water blowdown fi•om MDF and cooling tower blowdown from
Particleboard into the wastewater stream could not be approved at this time. The chemical
analysis of the proposed waste stream was very high in Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Total
Dissolved Solids, and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen. If Arauco North America, Inc. wishes to add
this stream, a soil scientist will have to evaluate the disposal fields taking these additional
pollutant concentrations into consideration.
➢ The daily average influent flow could not be increased to 120,000 GPD due to the disposal
restrictions at this site. However, the Division did approve Arauco North America, Inc. to
relocate the flow measurement location to after Pond 3, creating more tlexihility with their
pump and haul permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through. July 31, 2025, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003396 issued April 22, 2013, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than February 1, 2025.

information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
if a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
htt os://www,fws.aoy/offices/Di rectory/ListOff9ces,cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission,
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler(cpncdcr.gov or 919--707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

3.2 WEATHER DELAYS
October 2020 00 73 00 - 8 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

A. Extensions of Contract Time for Abnormal Weather:
1. If the basis exists for an extension of time in accordance with article 12.03 of the
Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract, an extension of time on
the basis of Abnormal Weather may be granted only for the number of Weather
Delay Days in excess of the number of days listed as the Standard Baseline for the
period of the contract.
2. In the event adverse weather other than those conditions described in Section C,
"Adverse Weather and Rain Delay Days", delays construction activity, such as
temperature extremes. The baseline must be adjusted to reflect the number of
expected days as described in Section D, "Development of Adverse Weather
Baseline".
3. In order to determine precipitation at the contract site the contractor shall maintain a
rain gauge on site. The rain gauge should be read daily and documentation of
Adverse Weather Days should be coordinated with the Engineer's Representative.
B. Standard Baseline for Average Climactic Range:
1. The Engineer has reviewed weather data available from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and determined a Standard Baseline of
average climatic range for the City of Asheville, North Carolina. In the event that the
standard baseline for the construction site differs significantly from the Asheville,
North Carolina Standard Baseline it will be the Contractor's responsibility to provide
documentation of said differences.
2. Standard Baseline shall be regarded as the normal and anticipatable number calendar
days for each month during which construction activity shall be expected to be
prevented and suspended by cause of adverse weather. Suspension of construction
activity for the number of days each month as listed in the Standard Baseline is
included in the Work and is not eligible for extension of Contract Time.
3. Standard Baseline is as follows:
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
8 6 6 7 5 8 7 5 6 3 5 7
C. Adverse Weather and Rain Delay Days:
1. Adverse Weather is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following
conditions which prevents exterior construction activity or access to the site within
twenty-four (24) hours:
a. Precipitation (rain, snow, and/or ice) in excess of two -tenths inch (0.20'� liquid
measure.
b. Standing snow in excess of one inch (1.00").
2. Adverse Weather may include, if appropriate, "dry -out" or "mud" days:
a. For rain days above the standard baseline,
b. Only if there is a hindrance to site access or site work such as excavation,
backfill, footings; and,
C. At a rate no greater than 1 make-up day for each day or consecutive days of rain
beyond the standard baseline that total 1.0 inch or more, liquid measure, unless
specifically recommended otherwise by the Engineer.
A Weather Delay Day may be counted if adverse weather prevents work on the
project for fifty percent (50%) or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day,
October 2020 00 73 00 - 9 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

including a weekend day or holiday if the Contractor has scheduled construction
activity for that day.
D. Development of Adverse Weather Baseline:
1. Development of Adverse Weather Data — This is the process of collecting,
compiling and analyzing the raw weather data (NOAA and other sources) that forms
the baseline for estimating anticipated delays and project durations and determining
the occurrence of unusually severe weather. The following actions make up the
development process:
a. Analyze the project scope and site geography to determine which weather
parameters (temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) are applicable. The
parameters selected should present adverse conditions that could potentially
delay construction activities.
b. Review the technical specifications to determine the numerical values that will
be assigned to each parameter in order to establish the anticipated adverse
weather. Usually when two or more construction phases are affected by the
same parameter, the less severe numerical value should be used (i.e. if roofing
work is delayed by temperatures below 40 degrees and concrete work is delayed
by temperatures below 32 degrees, then the numerical value used to define
adverse weather should be 40 degrees unless some other factor renders the
roofing phase insignificant in terms of schedule criticality).
C. Compile the number of days per month that the anticipated weather is expected
to be adverse by analysis of NOAA or other weather data. When at all possible,
the last 10 years of consecutive data should be used to establish the baseline.
However, in the absence of 10 years of data, a shorter period may be used. It
may be necessary to extrapolate the number of calendar days that the
temperature is expected to fall below the selected numerical value (say, 40
degrees) from raw data.
d. Adverse weather data must be periodically updated in order to reflect changes in
the 10-year averages and incorporate any necessary corrections derived from
actual field experience. It is recommended that data used for establishing
adverse weather baselines be reviewed annually.

includes:
1. Site clearing and off -site disposal of all debris and unsuitable material.
2. Removal of all topsoil, organically contaminated soil and existing unsuitable fill.
3. Proofrolling and grading of the property to the prescribed elevations.
4. Stockpiling or wasting on site of any excess cut material for providing acceptable
material as required to obtain the desired grades.
1.2 SITE CONDITIONS
A. SITE INFORMATION
The boring logs and related information depict approximate subsurface conditions only at
these specific locations and at the particular time designated on the logs. Subsurface
conditions at other locations may differ from those reported at the boring locations. It is
expressly understood that neither the Owner nor the Engineer will be responsible for
interpretations or conclusions drawn from the boring data by the Contractor. The data are
made available for the convenience of the Contractor. Additional test borings and other
exploratory operations may be undertaken by the Contractor at his own expense provided
such operations are acceptable to the Owner.

without the specific approval of the Engineer.
4. Frozen soil shall not be used for fill.
5. Fill material shall have a maximum laboratory dry weight, ASTM D-698, of at least 100
pounds per cubic foot unless specifically exempted from this requirement by the
Engineer.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
A. SURFACE PREPARATION
1. After removal of all existing topsoil, debris, and other undesirable material, the areas
which are to receive fill, which have been cut to the desired grade, or which are at the
approximate required subgrade elevation without additional earthwork, should be
proofrolled to locate any soft or yielding area. Proofrolling shall be done with at least
four overlapping passes of a heavy-duty flat wheel vibratory roller, at least 20 tons, or
by its approved equivalent.
2. Any soft, or excessively yielding material revealed by the proofrolling shall be removed
and replaced with inert controlled fill. The Engineer shall be the sole judge of what
constitutes soft or excessively yielding material.
3. Drainage from existing watercourses, springs or other sources should be rerouted out
of the earthwork area. The Contractor shall take special care to remove all organically
contaminated sediment, saturated soil, and other undesirable material from existing
watercourses.
B. BLASTING AND DAMAGES
Where blasting is done, it shall be done by qualified personnel and in accordance with all
federal, state or local requirements and procedures. The Contractor shall be responsible for
any damage done to adjoining properties, or to persons, by reason of the blasting or other
earthwork operations. The Contractor shall also be responsible for damage to
embankments and cut areas, and sewer, water, gas or other underground lines which may
result from blasting or earthwork operations. All such damage shall be repaired and made
good by the Contractor in a timely manner.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. FILLING AND COMPACTION
October 2020 31 01 00 - 2 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

1. After a stable non -yielding surface has been established, the surface of the area to be
filled shall be scarified with a disc or harrow to a depth of 4" to 6". An initial 3" layer
of fill material shall then be spread over the scarified surface and the entire area
compacted as specified below.
2. No fill shall be placed on any area until that area has been inspected and approved by
the Engineer. Fill shall not be placed on a snow covered or frozen surface. Fill
materials shall be spread in uniform horizontal layers not exceeding 8" in uncompacted
thickness. Alternating layers of cohesive and granular fill soils shall not be permitted.
Spreading and compacting of fill material should be started at the lowest portion of the
site. All fill must be placed in horizontal layers. Sloping fill planes will not be
permitted. Fill material shall be distributed over the full width of the embankment, and
in no case will deep ruts be allowed to form.
3. Keyways shall be provided at the toe of each fill slope as shown on the drawings. As
each layer of fill meets the natural grade of a slope, a bench, approximately 7 to 8 feet
wide, shall be cut into the existing grade with each layer of newly placed fill. If rock is
encountered at the face of the natural grade, the original ground shall be cut in vertical
steps of 4 to 5 feet and a horizontal bench cut into the rock at the top of each vertical
increment. A horizontal plateau, approximately 15 to 20 feet wide, should be provided
in the existing slope at vertical intervals of roughly 25 feet. Subsurface drains shall be
installed at the toe of the slope and wherever springs or excessive seepage are
encountered. Drains should be led to the outside face of the embankment and the
water picked up and carried away in such a manner as to avoid softening the
embankment or its toe, or producing erosion gullies.
4. Before compaction begins, the fill shall be brought to a water content that will permit
proper compaction. This may require aerating the material if it is too wet, or the
addition of water if it is too dry. If additional water is required, it should be uniformly
distributed through the use of approved water wagons, and shall be thoroughly
incorporated into the material by means of discs or other suitable mixing equipment.
Care shall be taken to avoid trapping water within the fill.
5. The standard Proctor method of moisture -density relationship test, ASTM D 698 or
AASHTO T-99, shall be used to determine the maximum laboratory dry density and
the optimum moisture content of the material which is to be used for fill.
6. Each layer of fill material shall be compacted until its density is not less than 95% of the
maximum laboratory dry density for the same material (100% for the top two (2) feet
below pavements). The moisture content of compacted cohesive materials shall not
vary by more than two (2) percentage points from the optimum moisture content for
the same material, providing excessive yielding is not produced within this range of
moisture contents. Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, proposed fill material is too
wet to permit drying in a reasonable length of time, the Engineer may reject the
material and it must be removed from the work area.
7. The above compaction requirements are to be satisfied for all soil and weathered or
soft rock fills. Weathered or soft rocks are those that can be broken down and
disintegrated under normal compaction procedures and equipment.
8. At the close of each day's work, or where work is to be interrupted for a period of time,
the surface of the site shall be shaped to drain freely, and sealed. If after a prolonged
rainfall, the surface of the area to be filled or cut is too wet to work properly, the
unsuitable material shall be removed to expose workable soil. The wet material
October 2020 31 01 00 - 3 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

removed may be dried and reused. Construction traffic shall be controlled so as to
prevent rutting of graded areas and to avoid overrolling of any section.
9. All cut areas shall be rolled and compacted to produce a compaction equal to that of
the filled area. If soft or yielding material is encountered in cuts, or fills as a result of
trapping water, overrolling or improper control of construction traffic, and cannot be
satisfactorily stabilized by moisture control, compaction or other means approved by
the Engineer, the unstable material shall be excavated to the depth required by the
Engineer. The excavation shall then be filled with suitable compacted material in
accordance with the requirements outlined above.
B. GRADING
1. Elevations shown on the plans are finished ground unless otherwise noted. Grading
shall be maintained in such a manner as to provide free surface drainage of the site at all
times without any ponding of water.
2. Provide ditches and swales to the cross -sections and grades shown on the drawings.
Cut ditch subgrades 4" below the grades shown and provide 4" of topsoil where the
plans call for seeding or sodding of the ditch. Keep ditches and swales free of
accumulations of debris or washed in material until final acceptance of work by the
Engineer.
3. Shape all surfaces to within not more than 0.10 feet above or below the required
subgrade elevations and free from irregular surface changes.
C. MAINTENANCE
1. The Contractor shall be responsible during construction and until final acceptance for
the maintenance of all embankments made under the Contract.
2. During construction and until final acceptance, the Contractor shall construct
temporary or permanent earth berms along the outer edges of the top surface of the
embankment, construct temporary ditches, shape the embankment surface to provide
for the drainage of surface runoff along and throughout the length of the
embankments, and use any other methods necessary to maintain the work covered by
this section so that the work will not contribute to excessive soil erosion. The
Contractor shall construct brush dikes, or install temporary or permanent slope drains
or other drainage features to assist in controlling erosion.
3. The Contractor shall replace, at no cost to the Owner, any portion of embankment
which have become displaced or damaged due to carelessness or neglect on the part of
the Contractor. Where the work has been properly constructed, completely drained
and properly maintained, and damage occurs due to natural causes, the Contractor will
be paid at the Contract unit price for the excavated material required to make necessary
repairs to such damage.
4. All embankments shall be brought to the grade and cross section shown on the plans
or established by the Engineer, prior to final inspection and acceptance by the
Engineer.
3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING
1. The services of qualified soils testing personnel may be engaged by the Owner for the
making of tests to determine the moisture -density relationships, relative densities, plastic
October 2020 31 01 00 - 4 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

and liquid limits and suitability of materials for compaction and for inspection and
control of the site preparation, selection, placing and compaction of the fill. Such tests
will be provided and paid for by the Owner, except that tests which reveal non-
conformance with the Specifications and all succeeding tests for the same area, until
conformance with the Specifications is established, shall be at the expense of the
Contractor. The Owner will be responsible for paying for only the successful tests.
A copy of the testing personnel's daily field report including results of in -place density
and moisture content tests should be forwarded to the Owner and the Engineer at the
end of each working day.
2. The Contractor shall cooperate with the testing personnel so as to permit proper
inspection and control of the work without unnecessary delays.

brush, stumps, logs, grass, weeds, roots, decayed vegetable matter, posts, fences, stubs,
rubbish and all other objectionable matter resting on or protruding through the original
ground surface and occurring within the construction limits or right-of-way of any
excavation, borrow area, or embankment.
PART 2 NOT USED
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 GENERAI,
A. Clearing and grubbing operations shall be completed sufficiently in advance of grading
operations as may be necessary to prevent any of the debris from the clearing and
grubbing operations from interfering with the excavation or embankment operations.
All work under this section shall be performed in a manner which will cause minimum
soil erosion. The Contractor shall perform such erosion control work, temporary or
permanent, as may be directed by the Engineer in order to satisfactorily minimize
erosion resulting from clearing and grubbing operations.
1. Clearing:
a. The work of clearing shall be performed within the limits established by the
plans, specifications, or the Engineer.
b. Clearing shall consist of the felling and cutting up, or the trimming of trees, and
the satisfactory disposal of the trees and other vegetation together with the
down timber, snags, brush and rubbish occurring within the areas to be cleared.
Trees and other vegetation, except such individual trees, groups of trees, and
vegetation, as may be indicated on the plans to be left standing, and all stumps,
roots and brush in the areas to be cleared shall be cut off six inches above the
original ground surface.
C. Individual trees and groups of trees designated to be left standing within cleared
areas shall be trimmed of all branches to such heights and in such manner as
may be necessary to prevent interference with construction operations. All
limbs and branches required to be trimmed shall be neatly cut close to the
whole of the tree or to main branches, and the cuts thus made shall be painted
with an approved tree wound paint. Individual trees, groups of trees, and other
vegetation, to be left standing shall be thoroughly protected from damage
October 2020 31 02 00 - 1 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

incident to construction operations by the erection of barriers or by such other
means as the circumstances require.
d. The Engineer will designate all areas of growth or individual trees which are to
be preserved due to their desirability for landscape or erosion control purposes.
When the trees to be preserved are located within the construction limits, they
will be shown on the plans or designated by the Engineer.
e. Clearing operations shall be conducted so as to prevent damage by falling trees
to trees left standing, to existing structures and installations, and to those under
construction, and so as to provide for the safety of employees and others.
When such damages occur, all damaged areas shall be repaired, removed or
otherwise resolved utilizing generally accepted practices at the Contractor's
expense.
2. Grubbing:
a. Grubbing shall consist of the removal and disposal of all stumps, roots and
matted roots from all cleared areas, except as herein specified.
b. All depressions excavated below the natural ground surface for or by the
removal of stumps and roots shall be refilled with suitable material and
compacted to make the surface conform to the surrounding ground surface.
3. Disposal of Cleared and Grubbed Material: Saw logs, pulp wood, cord wood or
other merchantable timber removed incidental to clearing and grubbing shall remain
the property of the Owner. All combustible matter shall be deposited at locations
approved by the Engineer. Combustible matter may be burned or may be disposed
of as stated above. Debris shall not be burned unless written permission or permit is
issued by the Fire Marshall having jurisdiction in the area if applicable. The
Contractor shall adhere to all limitations and conditions set forth in the permit.
Burning shall be done at such time and such manner as to prevent fire from
spreading and to prevent any damage to adjacent cover and shall further be subject
to all requirements of State or Federal Governments pertaining to the burning.
Disposal by burning shall be kept under constant attendance until all fires have
burned out or have been extinguished.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
A. Dewatering:
1. The Contractor shall provide and maintain adequate dewatering equipment to
remove and dispose of all surface water and groundwater entering excavations,
trenches, or other parts of the work. Each excavation shall be kept dry during
subgrade preparation and continually thereafter until the structure to be built, or the
pipe to be installed therein, is completed to the extent that no damage from
hydrostatic pressure, flotation, or other cause will result.
2. All excavations for concrete structures or trenches that extend down to or below
groundwater shall be dewatered by lowering and keeping the groundwater level
beneath such excavations 12" or more below the bottom of the excavation.
3. Surface water shall be diverted or otherwise prevented from entering excavated areas
or trenches without causing damage to adjacent property.
4. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining any required permits or permissions
necessary for the disposal of groundwater that is removed. Any discharged
groundwater shall be clean and free of sediment.
5. The Contractor shall be responsible for the condition of any pipe or conduit which
he may use for drainage purposes, and all such pipes or conduits which he may use
for drainage purposes, and all such pipes or conduits shall be left clean and free of
sediment.
6. Where trench sheeting is left in place, such sheeting shall not be braced against the
pipe, but shall be supported in a manner which will preclude concentrated loads or
horizontal thrusts on the pipe. Cross braces installed above the pipe to support
sheeting may be removed after pipe embedment has been completed.
B. Stabilization:
1. Subgrades for concrete structures and trench bottoms shall be firm, dense, and
thoroughly compacted and consolidated; free from mud and muck; and sufficiently
stable to remain firm and intact under the feet of the workmen.
2. Subgrades for concrete structures or trench bottoms, which are otherwise solid but
which become mucky on top due to construction operations, shall be reinforced
with one or more layers of crushed rock or gravel. The stabilizing material shall be
spread and compacted to a depth of not less than 6" below the bottom of the
structure or pipe. Not more than 1 /2" depth of mud or muck shall be allowed to
remain on stabilized trench bottoms when the pipe bedding material is placed
October 2020 31 04 00 - 4 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

thereon. The finished elevation of stabilized subgrades for concrete structures shall
not be above subgrade elevations indicated on the drawings.
C. Cutting Concrete or Asphalt Surface Construction:
1. All pavement cutting and repair shall be done in accordance with local ordinances.
Cuts in concrete and asphaltic concrete shall be no larger than necessary to provide
adequate working space for proper installation of pipe and appurtenances. Cutting
shall be performed with a concrete saw in a manner which will provide a clean
groove the complete thickness of the surface material along each side of the trench
and along the perimeter of cuts for structures.
2. Concrete and asphaltic concrete over trenches excavated for pipelines shall be
removed so that a shoulder not less than 12" in width at any point is left between the
cut edge of the surface and the top edge of the trench. Trench width at the bottom
shall not be greater than at the top and no undercutting will be permitted. Cuts shall
be made to and between straight or accurately marked curved lines which, unless
otherwise required, shall be parallel to the center line of the trench.
3. Pavement or other surfaces removed for connections to existing lines or structures
shall not be of greater extent that necessary for the installation.
4. Where the trench parallels the length of concrete walks and the trench location is all
or partially under the walk, the entire walk shall be removed and replaced. Where
the trench crosses drives, walks, curbs, or other surface construction, the surface
construction shall be removed and replaced between existing joints or between saw
cuts as specified for payment.
D. Site Grade:
1. General: Uniformly grade areas within limits of grading under this section, including
adjacent transition areas. Smooth finish the surface within specified tolerances;
compact with uniform levels or slopes between points where elevations are shown,
or between such points and existing grades.
2. Ground Surface Preparation: Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil
materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials from ground surface prior to
placement of fills. Plow, strip, or break up sloped surfaces steeper than 1 vertical to
4 horizontal so that fill material will bond with existing surface. Shape the subgrade
as indicated on the drawings by forking, furrowing, or plowing so that the first layer
of new material placed thereon will be well bonded to it.
3.2 FIELD MEASUREMENTS
A. Alignment, Grade, and Minimum Cover:
I. Vertical and horizontal alignment of pipes, and the maximum joint deflection used in
connection therewith, shall be in conformity with requirements of the section
covering installation of pipe.
2. Where pipe grades or elevations are not definitely fixed by the contract drawings,
trenches shall be excavated to a depth sufficient to provide a minimum depth of
backfill cover over the top of the pipe cover depths may be necessary on vertical
curves or to provide necessary clearance beneath existing pipes, conduits, drains,
drainage structures, or other obstructions encountered at normal pipe grades.
Measurement of pipe cover depth shall be made vertically from the outside top of
October 2020 31 04 00 - 5 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

pipe to finished ground or pavement surface elevation except where future surface
elevations are indicated on the drawings.
B. Limiting Trench Widths: Trenches shall be excavated to a width that will provide
adequate working space and sidewall clearances for proper pipe installation, jointing, and
embedment. For the purposes of quantity measurements and payments, maximum
trench widths shall be no greater than the pipe outside diameter plus 24" (12" either side
of pipe).
3.3 PROTECTION
A. Temporary Protection: Protect structures, utilities, sidewalks, pavements, and other
facilities from damages caused by settlement, lateral movement, undermining, washout,
and other hazards created by earthwork operations.
B. Sheeting and Bracing: Make all excavations in accordance with Federal, State, and Local
health and safety rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the Department
of Labor, Occupation Safety and Health Administration, "Safety and Health Regulations
for Construction". Furnish, put in place, and maintain such sheeting, bracing, etc., as may
be necessary to support the sides of the excavation to comply with the above mentioned
rules and regulations.
C. Blasting:
1. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage caused by blasting operations.
Suitable methods shall be employed to confine all materials lifted by blasting within
the limits of the excavation or trench.
2. All rock which cannot be handled and compacted as earth shall be kept separate from
other excavated materials and shall not be mixed with backfill or embankment
materials except as specified or directed.
D. Care and Restoration of Property:
1. Enclose the trunks of trees which are to remain adjacent to the work with substantial
wooden boxes of such height as may be necessary to protect them from piled
material, equipment or equipment operation. Use excavating machinery and cranes of
suitable type and operate the equipment with care to prevent injury to remaining tree
trunks, roots, branches and limbs.
2. Do not cut branches, limbs, and roots except by permission of the Engineer. Cut
smoothly and neatly without splitting or crushing. In case of cutting or unavoidable
injury to branches, limbs, and trunks of trees, neatly trim the cut or injured portions
and cover with an application of grafting wax and tree healing paint as directed.
3. Protect by suitable means all cultivated hedges, shrubs and plants that might be
injured by the Contractor's operations. Promptly heel in any such trees or shrubbery
necessary to be removed and replanted. Perform heeling in and replanting under the
direction of a licensed and experienced nurseryman. Replant in their original position
all removed shrubbery and trees after construction operations have been substantially
completed and care for until growth is reestablished.
October 2020 31 04 00 - 6 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

4. Replace cultivated hedges, shrubs, and plants injured to such a degree as to affect
their growth or diminish their beauty or usefulness, by items of kind and quality at
least equal to the kind and quality existing at the start of the work.
5. Do not operate tractors, bulldozers or other power -operated equipment on paved
surfaces if the treads or wheels of the equipment are so shaped as to cut or otherwise
injure the surfaces.
6. Restore all surfaces, including lawns, grassed, and planted areas that have been injured
by the Contractor's operations, to a condition at least equal to that in which they were
found immediately before the work was begun. Use suitable materials and methods
for such restoration. Maintain all restored plantings by cutting, trimming, fertilizing,
etc., until acceptance. Restore existing property or structures as promptly as
practicable and do not leave until the end of construction period.
E. Protection of Streams: Exercise reasonable precaution to prevent the silting of streams.
Provide at Contractor's expense temporary erosion and sediment control measures to
prevent the silting of streams and existing drainage facilities. The Contractor shall size
structures and conform fully with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control
Act.
F. Air Pollution:
1. Comply with all pollution control rules, regulations, ordinances, and statutes which
apply to any work performed under the Contract, including any air pollution control
rules, regulations, ordinances and statutes, or any municipal regulations pertaining to
air pollution.
2. During the progress of the work, maintain the area of activity, including sweeping and
sprinkling of streets as necessary, so as to minimize the creation and dispersion of
dust. If the Engineer decides that it is necessary to use calcium chloride or more
effective dust control, furnish and spread the material, as directed, and without
additional compensation.
3.4 TRENCH EXCAVATION
A. Length of Trench:
1. No more trenches shall be opened in advance of pipe laying than is necessary to
expedite the work. One block or 400 feet (whichever is the shorter) shall be the
maximum length of open trench on any line under construction.
2. Except where tunneling is indicated on the drawings, is specified, or is permitted by
the Engineer, all trench excavation shall be open cut from the surface.
B. Trench Excavation:
1. General: Perform all excavation of every description and of whatever substance
encountered so that the pipe can be laid to the alignment and depth shown on the
drawings.
2. Brace and shore all trenches, where required, in accordance with Federal, State, and
Local health and safety rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the
Department of Labor, Occupation Safety and Health Administration, "Safety and
Health Regulations for Construction".
October 2020 31 04 00 - 7 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

3. Make all excavations by open cut unless otherwise specified or indicated on the
drawings.
4. Width of Trenches: Excavate trenches sufficiently wide to allow proper installation of
pipe, fittings and other materials. Measurement and payment quantities will be based
on a maximum trench width of not more than 12" clear of pipe on either side at any
point. Do not widen trenches by scraping or loosening materials from the sides.
5. Trench Excavation in Earth: Earth excavation includes all excavation of whatever
substance encountered. In locations where pipe is to be bedded in earth excavated
trenches, fine grade the bottoms of such trenches to allow firm bearing for the
bottom of the pipe on undisturbed earth. Where any part of the trench has been
excavated below the grade of the pipe, fill the part excavated below such grade with
pipe bedding material and compact at the Contractor's expense.
6. Trench Excavation in Fill: If pipe is to be laid in embankments or other recently filled
material, first place the fill material to the finish grade or to a height of at least one
foot above the top of the pipe, whichever is the lesser. Take particular care to ensure
maximum consolidation of material under the pipe location. Excavate the pipe
trench as though in undisturbed material.
7. Trench Bottom in Poor Soil: Excavate and remove unstable or unsuitable soil to a
width and depth, as directed by the Engineer, and refill with a thoroughly compacted
gravel bedding.
8. Bell Holes: Provide bell holes at each joint to permit the joint to be made properly
and to provide a continuous bearing and support for the pipe.
C. Trench Backfill:
1. General: Unless otherwise specified or indicated on the drawings, use suitable
material for backfill which was removed in the course of making the construction
excavations. Do not use frozen material for the backfill and do not place backfill on
frozen material. Remove previously frozen material before new backfill is placed.
Start backfilling as soon as practicable after the pipes have been laid, or the
structures have been built and are structurally adequate to support the loads,
including construction loads to which they will be subjected, and proceed until its
completion.
2. With the exception mentioned below in this paragraph, do not backfill trenches at
pipe joints until after that section of the pipeline has successfully passed any
specified tests required. Should the Contractor wish to minimize the maintenance of
lights, and barricades, and the obstruction of traffic, he may, at his own risk, backfill
the entire trench as soon as practicable after installation of pipe, and the related
structures have acquired a suitable degree of strength. He shall, however, be
responsible for removing and later replacing such backfill, at his own expense,
should he be ordered to do so in order to locate and repair or replace leaking or
defective joints or pipe.
3. Material: The nature of the materials will govern both their acceptability for backfill
and the methods best suited for their placement and compaction in the backfill.
Both are subject to the approval of the Engineer. Do not place stone or rock
fragments larger than 4" in greatest dimension in the backfill. Do not drop large
masses of backfill material into the trench in such a manner as to endanger the
pipeline. Use a timber grillage to break the fall of material dropped from a height of
October 2020 31 04 00 - 8 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

more than 5 feet. Exclude pieces of bituminous pavement from the backfill unless
their use is expressly permitted.
4. Zone Around Pipe: Place bedding material to the level shown on the Drawings and
work material carefully around the pipe to insure that all voids are filled, particularly
in bell holes. For backfill up to a level of 2 feet over the top of the pipe, use only
selected materials containing no rock, clods or organic materials. Place the backfill
and compact thoroughly under the pipe haunches and up to the mid -line of the pipe
in layers not exceeding 6" in depth. Place each layer and tamp carefully and
uniformly so as to eliminate the possibility of lateral displacement. Place and
compact the remainder of the zone around the pipe and to a height of one foot
above the pipe in layers not exceeding 6" and compact to a maximum density of at
least 100 % as determined by ASTM D0698.
5. Tamping: Deposit and spread backfill materials in uniform, parallel layers not
exceeding 12" thick before compaction. Tamp each layer before the next layer is
placed to obtain a thoroughly compacted mass. Furnish and use, if necessary, an
adequate number of power driven tampers, each weighing at least 20 pounds for this
purpose. Take care that the material close to the bank, as well as in all other portions
of the trench, is thoroughly compacted. When the trench width and the depth to
which backfill has been placed are sufficient to make it feasible, and it can be done
effectively and without damage to the pipe, backfill may, on approval of the
Engineer, be compacted by the use of suitable rollers, tractors, or similarly powered
equipment instead of by tamping. For compaction by tamping (or rolling), the rate
at which backfilling material is deposited in the trench shall not exceed that
permitted by the facilities for its spreading, leveling and compacting as furnished by
the Contractor.
6. Wet the material by sprinkling, if necessary, to insure proper compaction by tamping
(or rolling). Perform no compaction by tamping (or rolling) when the material is too
wet either from rain or applied water to be compacted properly.
7. Trench Compaction: Compact backfill in pipe trenches to the maximum density as
shown on the drawings, or as listed in the subsection entitled COMPACTION, with
a moisture content within the range of values of maximum density as indicated by
the moisture -density relationship curve.
3.5 SITE GRADE
A. Placement and Compaction:
1. Place backfill and fill material in layers not more than 8" in loose depth. Before
compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide the optimum
moisture content. Compact each layer to the required percentage of maximum
density for each area classification. Do not place backfill or material on surfaces that
are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice.
2. In areas not accessible to rollers or compactors, compact the fill with mechanical
hand tampers. If the mixture is excessively moistened by rain, aerate the material by
means of blade graders, harrows, or other approved equipment, until the moisture
content of the mixture is satisfactory. Finish the surface of the layer by blading or
rolling with a smooth roller, or a combination thereof, and leave the surface smooth
and free from waves and inequalities.
October 2020 31 04 00 - 9 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

3. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, to the required
elevations. Take care to prevent wedging action of backfill against structures. Carry
the material uniformly around all parts of the structure to approximately the same
elevation in each lift.
4. When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified under the
subsection entitled COMPACTION for the particular area classification, break up
the ground surface, pulverize, moisture -condition to the optimum moisture content,
and compact to required depth and percentage of maximum density.
B. Grading Outside Building Lines: Grade to drain away from structures to prevent ponding
of water. Finish surface free from irregular surface changes.
C. Planting Areas: Finish areas to receive topsoil to within not more than one inch (1")
above or below the required subgrade elevations, compacted as specified, and free from
irregular surface changes.
D. Walks: Shape the surface of areas under walks to line, grade, and cross-section, with the
finish surface not more than 0" above or 1" below the required subgrade elevation,
compacted as specified, and graded to prevent ponding of water after rains.
E. Pavements:
1. Shape the surface of the areas under pavement to line, grade and cross section, with
finish surface not more than 1 /2" above or below the required subgrade elevation,
compacted as specified, and graded to prevent ponding of water after rains. Include
such operations as plowing, discing, and any moisture or aerating required to provide
the optimum moisture content for compaction.
2. Fill low areas resulting from removal of unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions,
and other deleterious materials, using satisfactory soil material.
3. Shape to line, grade, and cross section as shown on the drawings.
F. Protection of Graded Areas: Protect newly graded areas from traffic and erosion, and
keep free of trash and debris. Repair and re-establish grades in settled, eroded, and rutted
areas to specified tolerances.
G. Reconditioning Compacted Areas: Where completed compacted areas are disturbed by
subsequent construction operations or adverse weather prior to acceptance of work,
scarify surface, reshape, and compact to required density prior to further construction.
H. Unauthorized Excavation:
1. Unauthorized excavation consists of the removal of materials beyond indicated
elevations without the specific direction of the Engineer. Under footings,
foundations, bases, etc., fill unauthorized excavation by extending the indicated
bottom elevation of the concrete to the bottom of the excavation, without altering
the required top elevation. Lean concrete fill may be used to bring elevations to
proper position only when acceptable to the Engineer.
2. For pipe trenches and elsewhere, backfill and compact unauthorized excavations as
specified for authorized excavations of the same classification, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer.

3.6 BACKFILL AROUND STRUCTURES
A. General: Unless otherwise specified or indicated on the drawings, use suitable material for
backfill which was removed in the course of making the backfill and do not place backfill
which was removed in the course of making the construction excavations. Do not use
frozen material for the backfill and do not place backfill upon frozen material. Remove
previously frozen material before new backfill is placed.
B. Material: Approved selected materials available from the excavations may be used for
backfilling around structures. Obtain material needed in addition to that of construction
excavations from off -site borrow pits selected by the Contractor. Furnish all borrow
material needed on the work. Place and compact all material, whether from the
excavation or borrow, to make a dense, stable fill. Use fill material which contains no
vegetation, masses of roots, individual roots over 18" long or more than 1/2" in
diameter, stones over 4" in diameter, or porous matter. Organic matter must not exceed
negligible quantities.
C. Placing Backfill: Do not place backfill against or on structures until they have attained
sufficient strength to support the loads (including construction loads) to which they will
be subjected, without distortion, cracking, or other damage. Make special leakage tests, if
required, as soon as practicable after the structures are structurally adequate and other
necessary work has been done. Use the best of the excavated materials in backfilling
within 2 feet of the structure. Avoid unequal soil pressures by depositing the material
evenly around the structure.
3.7 COMPACTION
A. General: Control soil compaction during construction providing at least the minimum
percentage of density specified for each area classification.
B. Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements: After compaction, all fill will be tested in
accordance with Method "C" of ASTM D-698, unless specified otherwise. Except as
noted otherwise for the zone around pipe, provide not less than the following
percentages of maximum density of soil material compacted at optimum moisture
content, for the actual density of each layer of soil material -in -place:
UNPAVED AREAS
Compact
Full Depth to 92%
DRIVES AND PARKING
Top 24" - 100%
TRENCH BACKFILL (PAVED AREAS)
Compact
full depth to 100%
TRENCH BACKFILL(UNPAVED AREAS
Compact
full depth to 95%
ALL OTHER BACKFILL
1 Compact
full depth to 95%
C. Moisture Control: Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned
before compaction, uniformly apply water to surface of subgrade, or layer of soil material,
to prevent free water appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction
operations. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to
October 2020 31 04 00 - 11 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

permit compaction to specified density. Soil material that has been removed because it is
too wet to permit compaction may be stockpiled or spread and allowed to dry. Assist
drying by discing, harrowing or pulverizing, until moisture content is reduced to a
satisfactory value, as determined by moisture -density relation tests.
D. Disposal of Surface Material: Upon approval of the Engineer, haul all surplus materials
not needed or acceptable for backfill off -site.
3.8 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Soil Testing and Inspection Service: Compaction tests of all fill areas will be made by an
independent testing laboratory. Such tests will be provided and paid for by the Owner,
except that tests that reveal non-conformance with the specifications and all succeeding
tests for the same area shall be at the expense of the Contractor until conformance with
the specifications is established. The Owner will be responsible for paying for only the
successful tests.

been approved by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture or any agency
approved by the Engineer before being sown, and no seed will be accepted with a
date of test more than 9 months prior to the date of sowing. Such testing however,
will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for furnishing and sowing seed
that meets these specifications at the time of sowing. When a low percentage of
germination causes the quality of the seed to fall below the minimum pure live seed
specified, the Contractor may elect, subject to the approval of the Engineer, to
increase the rate of seeding sufficiently to obtain the minimum pure live seed
contents specified, provided that such an increase in seeding does not cause the
quantity of noxious weed seed per square yard to exceed the quantity that would be
allowable at the regular rate of seed.
2. During handling and storing, the seed shall be cared for in such a manner that it will
be protected from damage by heat, moisture, rodents or other causes.
3. Seed shall be entirely free from bulblets or seed of Johnson Grass, Nutgrass,

the Contractor's expense.
B. Grading:
1. Rough grading shall be done as soon as all excavation required in the area has been
backfilled. The necessary earthwork shall be accomplished to bring the existing
ground to the desired finish elevations as shown on the Contract Drawings or
otherwise directed.
2. Fine grading shall consist of shaping the final contours for drainage and removing all
large rock, clumps of earth, roots and waste construction material. It shall also
include thorough loosening of the soil to a depth of 6" by plowing, discing,
harrowing or other approved methods until the area is acceptable as suitable for
subsequent landscaping operations. The work of establishing vegetation shall be
performed on a section by section basis immediately upon completion of earthwork
or pipeline installation.
3. Upon failure or neglect on the part of the Contractor to coordinate his grading with
seeding and mulching operations and diligently pursue the control of erosion and
siltation, the Engineer may suspend the Contractor's grading operations until such
time as the work is coordinated in a manner acceptable to the Engineer.
C. Seedbed Preparation:
1. The Contractor shall cut and satisfactorily dispose of weeds or other unacceptable
growth on the areas to be seeded. Uneven and rough areas outside the graded
section, such as crop rows, farm contours, ditches and ditch spoil banks, fence line
and hedgerow soil accumulations, and other minor irregularities which cannot be
obliterated by normal seedbed preparation operations, shall be shaped and smoothed
as directed by the Engineer to provide for more effective seeding and for ease of
subsequent mowing operations.

Construction Documents

4. On cut slopes that are steeper than 2:1, both the depth of preparation and the degree
of smoothness of the seedbed may be reduced as permitted by the Engineer, but in
all cases the slope surface shall be scarified, grooved, trenched, or punctured so as to
provide pockets, ridges, or trenches in which the seeding materials can lodge.
5. On cut slopes that are either 2:1 or steeper, the Engineer may permit the preparation
of a partial or complete seedbed during the grading of the slope. If at the time of
seeding and mulching operations such preparation is still in condition acceptable to
the Engineer, additional seedbed preparation may be reduced or eliminated.
6. The preparation of seedbeds shall not be done when the soil is frozen, extremely
wet, or when the Engineer determines that it is in an otherwise unfavorable working
condition.
3.2 APPLICATION
A. Seed shall be applied by means of a hydro -seeder or other approved methods. The rates
of application of seed, fertilizer and limestone shall be as stated in Table I.
B. Equipment to be used for the application, covering or compaction of limestone, fertilizer,
and seed shall have been approved by the Engineer before being used on the project.
Approval may be revoked at any time if equipment is not maintained in satisfactory
working condition, or if the equipment operation damages the seed.
C. Limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall be applied within 24 hours after completion of
seedbed preparation unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer, but no limestone or
fertilizer shall be distributed and no seed shall be sown when the Engineer determines
that weather and soil conditions are unfavorable for such operations.
D. Limestone may be applied as a part of the seedbed preparation, provided it is immediately
worked into the soil. If not so applied, limestone and fertilizer shall be distributed
uniformly over the prepared seedbed at the specified rate of application and then
harrowed, raked, or otherwise thoroughly worked or mixed into the seedbed. Seed shall
be distributed uniformly over the seedbed at the required rate of application, and
immediately harrowed, dragged, raked, or otherwise worked so as to cover the seed with a
layer of soil. The depth of covering shall be as directed by the Engineer. If two kinds of
seed are to be used which require different depths of covering, they shall be sown
separately.
E. When a combination seed and fertilizer drill is used, fertilizer may be drilled in with the
seed after limestone has been applied and worked into the soil. If two kinds of seed are
being used which require different depths of covering, the seed requiring the lighter
covering may be sown broadcast or with a special attachment to the drill, or drilled lightly
following the initial drilling operation.
F. When a hydraulic seeder is used for application of seed and fertilizer, the seed shall not
remain in water containing fertilizer for more than 30 minutes prior to application unless
otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
October 2020 3201 00 - 4 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

G. Immediately after seed has been properly covered the seedbed shall be compacted in the
manner and degree approved by the Engineer.
H. When adverse seeding conditions are encountered due to steepness of slope, height of
slope, or soil conditions, the Engineer may direct or permit that modifications be made in
the above requirements which pertain to incorporating limestone into the seedbed;
covering limestone, seed, and fertilizer; and compaction of the seedbed.
Such modifications may include but not be limited to the following:
1. The incorporation of limestone into the seedbed may be omitted on (a) cut slopes
steeper than 2:1; (b) on 2:1 cut slopes when a seedbed has been prepared during the
excavation of the cut and is still in an acceptable condition; or (c) on areas of slopes
where the surface of the area is too rocky to permit the incorporation of the
limestone.
2. The rates of application of limestone, fertilizer, and seed on slopes 2:1 or steeper or
on rocky surfaces may be reduced or eliminated.
3. Compaction after seeding may be reduced or eliminated on slopes 2:1 or steeper, on
rocky surfaces, or on other areas where soil conditions would make compaction
undesirable.
I. Mulching:
1. All seeded areas shall be mulched unless otherwise indicated in the special provisions
or directed by the Engineer.
2. It shall be spread uniformly at a rate of two tons per acre in a continuous blanket
over the areas specified.
3. Before mulch is applied on cut or fill slopes which are 3:1 or flatter, and ditch slopes,
the Contractor shall remove and dispose of all exposed stones in excess of 3" in
diameter and all roots or other debris which will prevent proper contact of the mulch
with the soil. Mulch shall be applied within 24 hours after the completion of seeding
unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. Care shall be exercised to prevent
displacement of soil or seed or other damage to the seeded area during the mulching
operation.
4. Mulch shall be uniformly spread by hand or by approved mechanical spreaders or
blowers which will provide an acceptable application. An acceptable application will
be that which will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate but also
partially shade the ground, reduce erosion, and conserve soil moisture.
5. Mulch shall be held in place by applying a sufficient amount of asphalt or other
approved binding material to assure that the mulch is properly held in place. The
rate and method of application of binding material shall meet the approval of the
Engineer. Where the binding material is not applied directly with the mulch it shall
be applied immediately following the mulch application.
6. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent mulch from entering
drainage structures through displacement by wind, water, or other causes and shall
promptly remove any blockage to drainage facilities which may occur.

A. The Contractor shall keep all seeded areas in good condition, reseeding if and when
necessary, until an acceptable stand of grass is established over the entire area seeded and
shall maintain these areas in an approved condition until final acceptance of the Contract.
B. Grassed areas will be accepted when a 95% cover by permanent grasses is obtained and
weeds are not dominant. On slopes, the Contractor shall provide against washouts by an
approved method. Any washouts which occur shall be regraded and reseeded until a
good sod is established.
C. Areas of damage or failure due to any cause shall be corrected by being repaired or by
being completely redone as may be directed by the Engineer. Areas of damage or failure
resulting either from negligence on the part of the Contractor in performing subsequent
construction operations or from not taking adequate precautions to control erosion and
siltation as required throughout the various sections of the specifications, shall be
repaired by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer at no cost to the Owner.

accepted with a date of test more than nine (9) months prior to the date of sowing.
Such testing however, will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for
furnishing and sowing seed that meets these specifications at the time of sowing.
When a low percentage of germination causes the quality of the seed to fall below the
minimum pure live seed specified, the Contractor may elect, subject to the approval
of the Engineer, to increase the rate of seeding sufficiently to obtain the minimum
pure live seed contents specified, provided that such an increase in seeding does not
cause the quantity of noxious weed seed per square yard to exceed the quantity that
would be allowable at the regular rate of seed.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
A. Protection of Existing Trees and Vegetation:
1. Protect existing trees and other vegetation indicated to remain in place against
unnecessary cutting, breaking or skinning of roots, skinning and bruising of bark,
smothering of trees by stockpiling construction materials or excavated materials
within drip line, excess foot or vehicular traffic, or parking of vehicles within drip
line. Provide temporary guards to protect trees and vegetation to be left standing.
2. Provide protection for roots over 1-1/2" diameter cut during construction
operations. Coat cut faces with an emulsified asphalt, or other acceptable coating,
formulated for use on damaged plant tissues. Temporarily cover exposed roots with
October 2020 32 04 00 - 2 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

wet burlap to prevent roots from drying out and cover with earth as soon as
possible.
3. The Contractor shall not remove or damage trees and shrubs which are outside the
Clearing Limits established by the Owner or those within the Clearing Limits
designated to remain.
4. Repair trees scheduled to remain and damaged by construction operations in a
manner acceptable to the Engineer. Repair damaged trees promptly to prevent
progressive deterioration caused by damage.
5. Replace trees scheduled to remain and damaged beyond repair by construction
operations, as determined by the Engineer with trees of similar size and species.
Repair and replacement of trees scheduled to remain and damaged by construction
operations or lack of adequate protection during construction operations shall be at
the Contractor's expense.
B. Grading:
1. Rough grading shall be done as soon as all excavation required in the area has been
backfilled. The necessary earthwork shall be accomplished to bring the existing
ground to the desired finish elevations as shown on the Contract Drawings or
otherwise directed.
2. Fine grading shall consist of shaping the final contours for drainage and removing all
large rock, clumps of earth, roots and waste construction materials. It shall also
include thorough loosening of the soil to a depth of 6" by plowing, discing,
harrowing or other approved methods until the area is acceptable as suitable for
subsequent landscaping operations. The work of landscaping shall be performed on
a section by section basis immediately upon completion of earthwork.
3. Upon failure or neglect on the part of the Contractor to coordinate his grading with
seeding and mulching operations and diligently pursue the control of erosion and
siltation, the Engineer may suspend the Contractor's grading operations until such
time as the work is coordinated in a manner acceptable to the Engineer.
C. Seedbed Preparation:
1. The Contractor shall cut and satisfactorily dispose of weeds or other unacceptable
growth on the areas to be seeded. Uneven and rough areas outside of the graded
section, such as crop rows, farm contours, ditches and ditch spoil banks, fence line
and hedgerow soil accumulations, and other minor irregularities which cannot be
obliterated by normal seedbed preparation operations, shall be shaped and smoothed
as directed by the Engineer to provide for more effective seeding and for ease of
subsequent mowing operations.
2. The soil shall then be scarified or otherwise loosened to a depth of not less than 6"
except as otherwise provided below or otherwise directed by the Engineer. Clods
shall be broken and the top 2" to 3" of soil shall be worked into an acceptable
seedbed by the use of soil pulverizers, drags, or harrows; or by other methods
approved by the Engineer.
3. On 2:1 slopes a seedbed preparation will be required that is the same depth as that
required on flatter areas, although the degree of smoothness may be reduced from
that required on the flatter areas if so permitted by the Engineer.
October 2020 32 04 00 - 3 CEC #195-440
Construction Documents

4. On cut slopes that are steeper than 2:1, both the depth of preparation and the degree
of smoothness of the seedbed may be reduced as permitted by the Engineer, but in
all cases the slope surface shall be scarified, grooved, trenched, or punctured so as to
provide pockets, ridges, or trenches in which the seeding materials can lodge.
5. On cut slopes that are either 2:1 or steeper, the Engineer may permit the preparation
of a partial or complete seedbed during the grading of the slope. If at the time of
seeding and mulching operations such preparation is still in a condition acceptable to
the Engineer, additional seedbed preparation may be reduced or eliminated.
6. The preparation of seedbeds shall not be done when the soil is frozen, extremely
wet, or when the Engineer determines that it is in an otherwise unfavorable working
condition.
D. Application Rates: Seed shall be applied by means of a hydro -seeder or other approved
methods. The rates of application of seed, fertilizer and limestone shall be as stated
below.
1. Lime and Fertilizer: In the absence of a soil test, the following rates of application of
limestone and fertilizer shall be:
a. 4,000 pounds limestone per acre
b. 1000 pounds 10-10-10 (N-P205-K20) fertilizer per acre and the remaining
quantity applied when vegetation is three inches in height or 45 days after
seeding, whichever comes first.
2. Mulch: Mulch shall be applied at the following rates per acre:
a. 3,000-4,000 pounds straw mulch, or
b. 1,500-2,000 pounds wood cellulose fiber.
c. 35-40 cubic yards of shredded or hammermilled hardwood bark
d. 1,200-1,400 pounds of fiberglass roving
3. Seed: The kinds of seed and the rates of application shall be as contained in this
table. All rates are in pounds per acre. See Notes 1 and 2.
a. Fall and Winter (Normally August 1 to June 1)
80 pounds of Ky-31 tall fescue and 15 pounds of rye grain
b. Summer (Normally May 1 to September 1)
100 pounds of Ky-31 tall fescue
NOTE:
1. On cut and fill slopes having 2:1 or steeper slopes, add 40 pounds of sericea
lespedeza per acre to the planned seeding (hulled in spring and summer unhulled in
fall and winter) plus 15 pounds of sudangrass in summer seeding or 25 pounds of
rye cereal per acre in fall and winter seeding, if seeded September to February.
2. These seeding rates are prescribed for all sites with less than 50% ground cover and
for sites with more than 50% ground cover where complete seeding is necessary to
establish effective erosion control vegetative cover. On sites having 50% to 80%
ground cover where complete seeding is not necessary to establish vegetative cover,
reduce the seeding rate at least one-half the normal rate.

E. Application:
1. Equipment to be used for the application, covering or compaction of limestone,
fertilizer, and seed shall have been approved by the Engineer before being used on
the project. Approval may be revoked at any time if equipment is not maintained in
satisfactory working condition, or if the equipment operation damages the seed.
2. Limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall be applied within 24 hours after completion of
seedbed preparation unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer, but no limestone or
fertilizer shall be distributed and no seed shall be sown when the Engineer
determines that weather and soil conditions are unfavorable for such operations.
3. Limestone may be applied as a part of the seedbed preparation, provided it is
immediately worked into the soil. If not so applied, limestone and fertilizer shall be
distributed uniformly over the prepared seedbed at the specific rate of application
and then harrowed, raked, or otherwise thoroughly worked or mixed into the
seedbed.
4. Seed shall be distributed uniformly over the seedbed at the required rate of
application, and immediately harrowed, dragged, raked, or otherwise worked so as to
cover the seed with a layer of soil. The depth of covering shall be as directed by the
Engineer. If two kinds of seed are to be used which require different depths of
covering, they shall be sown separately.
5. When a combination seed and fertilizer drill is used, fertilizer may be drilled in with
the seed after limestone has been applied and worked into the soil. If two kinds of
seed are being used which require different depths of covering, the seed requiring the
lighter covering may be sown broadcast or with a special attachment to the drill, or
drilled lightly following the initial drilling operation.
6. When a hydraulic seeder is used for application of seed and fertilizer, the seed shall
not remain in water containing fertilizer for more than 30 minutes prior to
application unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
7. Immediately after seed has been properly covered the seedbed shall be compacted in
the manner and degree approved by the Engineer.
8. When adverse seeding conditions are encountered due to steepness of slope, height
of slope, or soil conditions, the Engineer may direct or permit that modifications be
made in the above requirements which pertain to incorporating limestone into the
seedbed; covering limestone, seed, and fertilizer; and compaction of the seedbed.
9. Such modifications may include but not be limited to the following:
a. The incorporation of limestone into the seedbed may be omitted on
i. cut slopes steeper than 2:1;
ii. on 2:1 cut slopes when a seedbed has been prepared during the excavation
of the cut and is still in an acceptable condition; or
iii. on areas of slopes where the surface of the area is too rocky to permit the
incorporation of the limestone.
b. The rates of application of limestone, fertilizer, and seed on slopes 2:1 or
steeper or on rocky surfaces may be reduced or eliminated.
C. Compaction after seeding may be reduced or eliminated on slopes 2:1 or
steeper, on rocky surfaces, or on other areas where soil conditions would make
compaction undesirable.

F. Mulching:
1. All seeded areas shall be mulched unless otherwise indicated in the special provisions
or directed by the Engineer.
2. It shall be spread uniformly at a rate of two tons per acre in a continuous blanket
over the areas specified.
3. Before mulch is applied on cut or fill slopes which are 3:1 or flatter, and ditch slopes,
the Contractor shall remove and dispose of all exposed stones in excess of 3" in
diameter and all roots or other debris which will prevent proper contact of the mulch
with the soil.
4. Mulch shall be applied within 24 hours after the completion of the seeding unless
otherwise permitted by the Engineer. Care shall be exercised to prevent
displacement of soil or seed or other damage to the seeded area during the mulching
operations.
5. Mulch shall be uniformly spread by hand or by approved mechanical spreaders or
blowers which will provide an acceptable application. An acceptable application will
be that which will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate but also
partially shade the ground, reduce erosion, and conserve soil moisture.
6. Mulch shall be held in place by applying a sufficient amount of asphalt or other
approved binding material to assure that the mulch is properly held in place. The
rate and method of application of binding material shall meet the approval of the
Engineer. Where the binding material is not applied directly with the mulch it shall
be applied immediately following the mulch operation.
7. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent mulch from entering
drainage structures through displacement by wind, water, or other causes and shall
promptly remove any blockage to drainage facilities which may occur.
G. Maintenance:
1. The Contractor shall keep all seeded areas in good condition, reseeding and mowing
if and when necessary as directed by the Engineer, until a good lawn is established
over the entire area seeded and shall maintain these areas in an approved condition
until final acceptance of the Contract.
2. Grassed areas will be accepted when a 95% cover by permanent grasses is obtained
and weeds are not dominant. On slopes, the Contractor shall provide against
washouts by an approved method. Any washouts which occur shall be regraded and
reseeded until a good sod is established.
3. Areas of damage or failure due to any cause shall be corrected by being repaired or
by being completely redone as may be directed by the Engineer. Areas of damage or
failure resulting either from negligence on the part of the Contractor in performing
subsequent construction operations or from not taking adequate precautions to
control erosion and siltation as required throughout the various sections of the
specifications, shall be repaired by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer at no
cost to the Owner.

TRACKING OF MUD ON THE EDGE
s0" M,N
NOTES: INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE:
1. STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES SHOULD BE USED
AT ALL POINTS WHERE TRAFFIC WILL EGRESS/INGRESS A
CONSTRUCTION SITE ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD OR ANY
IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, SUCH AS PARKING LOTS.
2. INSTALL A NON -WOVEN GEOTEXTILE FABRIC PRIOR TO
PLACING ANY STONE.
3. INSTALL A CULVERT PIPE ACROSS THE ENTRANCE WHEN
NEEDED TO PROVIDE POSITIVE DRAINAGE.
4. THE ENTRANCE SHALL CONSIST OF 2-INCH TO 3-INCH D50
STONE PLACED AT A MINIMUM DEPTH OF 6-INCHES.
5. MINIMUM DIMENSIONS OF THE ENTRANCE SHALL BE
12-FEET WIDE BY 50-FEET LONG, AND MAY BE MODIFIED
AS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE SITE CONSTRAINTS.
6. THE EDGES OF THE ENTRANCE SHALL BE TAPERED OUT
TOWARDS THE ROAD TO PREVENT TRACKING AT THE EDGE
OF THE ENTRANCE.
7. DIVERT ALL SURFACE RUNOFF AND DRAINAGE FROM THE
STONE PAD TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR BASIN OR OTHER
SEDIMENT TRAPPING STRUCTURE.
8. LIMESTONE MAY NOT BE USED FOR THE STONE PAD.
9. REFERENCE NCDEQ EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
PLANNING AND DESIGN MANUAL, SECTION 6.06.
1. THE KEY TO FUNCTIONAL CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES IS WEEKLY
INSPECTIONS, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND REGULAR SEDIMENT
REMOVAL.
2. REGULAR INSPECTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES SHALL BE
CONDUCTED ONCE EVERY CALENDAR WEEK AND, AS RECOMMENDED,
WITHIN 24-HOURS AFTER EACH RAINFALL EVEN THAT PRODUCES
1/2-INCH OR MORE OF PRECIPITATION.
3. DURING REGULAR INSPECTIONS, CHECK FOR MUD AND SEDIMENT
BUILDUP AND PAD INTEGRITY. INSPECTION FREQUENCIES MAY NEED
TO BE MORE FREQUENT DURING LONG PERIODS OF WET WEATHER.
4. RESHAPE THE STONE PAD AS NECESSARY FOR DRAINAGE AND
RUNOFF CONTROL.
5. WASH OR REPLACE STONES AS NEEDED AND AS DIRECTED BY SITE
INSPECTOR. THE STONE IN THE ENTRANCE SHOULD BE WASHED OR
REPLACED WHENEVER THE ENTRANCE FAILS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT
OF MUD BEING CARRIED OFF -SITE BY VEHICLES. FREQUENT WASHING
WILL EXTEND THE USEFUL LIFE OF STONE PAD.
6. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE MUD AND SEDIMENT TRACKED OR WASHED
ONTO ADJACENT IMPERVIOUS SURFACES BY BRUSHING OR SWEEPING.
FLUSHING SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN THE WATER CAN BE
DISCHARGED TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR BASIN.
7. DURING MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, ANY BROKEN PAVEMENT SHOULD
BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.
8. CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES SHOULD BE REMOVED AFTER THE SITE
HAS REACHED FINAL STABILIZATION. PERMANENT VEGETATION SHOULD
REPLACE AREAS FROM WHICH CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES HAVE BEEN
REMOVED, UNLESS AREA WILL BE CONVERTED TO AN IMPERVIOUS
SURFACE TO SERVE POST -CONSTRUCTION.
