GENERAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: Specifications: Rev. 04/11/2016 (Seal) The proposed utility construction shall meet the applicable requirements of the NC Department of Transportation's "Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures" dated January 2012, NCDENR Division of Water Resources, NCDENR Division of Water Quality, the Town of North Wilkesboro, the Mulberry/Fairplains Water Association, and the Blue Ridge Water Association, and the following provisions. Should a conflict arise between the referenced standards, the most stringent requirement shall apply. The Contractor shall be responsible far field verifying location, size, type and elevation of all underground utilities, as well as reconnecting any water and/or sanitary sewer services disturbed during construction, even if they are not shown on the plans.
