D. Tillage: After topsoiled areas required to be seeded have been brought to the grades shown on the plans and as specified, they shall be thoroughly tilled to a depth of 3 inches by approved methods, until the condition of the soil is acceptable. Any objectionable undulations or irregularities in the surface resulting from tillage or other operations shall be removed before planting operations are begun. The work shall be performed only during periods when satisfactory results are likely to be obtained. When conditions are such, by reason of drought, excessive moisture or other factors, that results are not likely to be satisfactory, stop the work and resume it only when the desired results are likely to be obtained. E. Application of superphosphate: Superphosphate and lime may be distributed at the same time, and shall be distributed uniformly at the rates specified herein or in consultation with the County Extension Service over the areas to be seeded, and shall be incorporated into the soil to a depth of 3-4 inches by approved methods.

Seed may be sown immediately after application of soil amendments, provided soil remains in a loose friable condition. If soil has become hard or unsuitable, till to a friable condition. B. Areas to be seeded: All specified unpaved graded areas, and all other areas disturbed by the Contractor's operations shall be seeded in accordance with these specifications. C. Method of seeding: Seed shall be broadcast either by hand or approved sowing equipment at the rates indicated on the drawings.

Clean up: After the seeding has been completed, and prior to compaction, the surface shall be cleaned of all stones larger than 1 inch in diameter and of all roots, brush, trash, or other objects that may interfere with maintenance operations. rE. Compaction: immediately after seeding is completed, the seedbed shall be compacted by means of an approved lawn roller weighing 40 to 65 pounds per foot of width for clay soil and 150 to 200 pounds per foot of width for light soil; unless an intervening precipitation causes such rolling to be detrimental to the sealed area. 3.3 MULCHING A. Applying mulch: The mulch shall be spread uniformly in a continuous blanket, using 1-1/2 tons per acre. The mulch shall be anchored in place by the application- of asphalt material at the rate specified in this section of the specifications. A method of applying mulch and asphalt stabilizer simultaneously by special equipment designed for the purpose will be acceptable. Mulching may be secured by other approved methods not considered detrimental to future maintenance. Mulching shall be started at the windward side and shall continue uniformly until the area is completely covered. 1. Securing mulch (alternate method): Securing of mulch by the peg and twine method will be acceptable if pegs are placed on 4-foot centers and driven flush with the sealed surface, and provided that wire and hardwood pegs are not used. 2.

Soil was a Kureb sand which had a permability rate of 6 to 20 inches/hours. The soils noted above all have the same permability rate of 6 to 20 inches/hours according to the Bladen County Soil Survey, Table �14-Physical and Chemical Properties of the soils, pages 169-172. Therefore a minimum annual rate of 208 inches is selected as was used for the previous project. (Column 3) Precipitation: 1999 was determine to be the "worst in a 10 year" period as measured at the William O: Hughe Lock & Dam as stated under column (1) above. Conclusion: 1). The maximum amount of effluent to be applied to the site is 19.8 inches occurring in July, and the maximum amount of effluenfapplication occurred in January at 9.9. inches. 2). At the design application rate to the spray field of 2"/week or 8"/month, it does not appear that storage beyond the minimum 30 days is required. 3). The site is relatively flat and suited for spray irrigation. 4). Cover crop will be coastal;bermuda, which is very suitable for spray irrigation. By: �. 1 , T. Robert LyoroJr. E. T.
