necessary, and compact \[each layer\]. Construct embankment slopes
reasonably true to line and finish the subgrade to the required
gradeline.

3\. Superelevate detour curves as directed.

4\. Provide cross drainage culverts and roadside ditches as needed to
handle surface water at the detour site.

5\. Procure suitable \[asphaltic concrete pavement and aggregate base\]
\[gravel\] surfacing material, place on finished subgrade, and compact

roadbed to conform to the natural landscape. Dispose of the removed
surfacing, culverts, and embankment materials as approved by the
Contracting Officer.

E. Temporary Parking Areas: Construct temporary parking areas for
construction operations personnel. Provide additional offsite parking
when site space is not adequate. Locate as \[indicated\] \[approved by
the Contracting Officer\].

F. Storage/Staging Areas: The Contractor may construct a temporary area
for trailers, equipment, and materials, located as approved by the
Contracting Officer. Fencing of materials or equipment shall \[not\] be
required at this site; however, the Contractor shall be responsible for
cleanliness and orderliness of the area used and for the security of any
material or equipment stored in this area. Trailers, materials, or
equipment shall not be placed or stored outside the \[fenced\] area
unless such trailers, materials, or equipment are assigned a separate
and distinct storage area by the Contracting Officer away from the
vicinity of the construction site but within government property
boundaries.

G. Maintenance: Maintain haul routes, roadways, parking and storage
areas, in a sound, smooth condition. Maintain the \[roadbed, side
slopes, structures, and surfacing\] of roads and areas until completion
and acceptance of all the work under this contract. Maintain the
surfacing of gravel‑surfaced roads and areas in a smooth condition until
completion and acceptance of all work under this contract. \[Snow
removal for convenience of the Contractor or to facilitate work
operations of the Contractor is considered to be normal required
maintenance.\]

H. Repair: Promptly repair ruts, broken pavement, potholes, low areas
with standing water, and other deficiencies to maintain road and parking
area surfaces and drainage in original or specified condition.

I. Removal: Remove materials used to construct temporary roadways,
areas, and haul routes prior to contract completion. Recycle all
salvageable materials as approved by the Contracting Officer. \[Remove
temporary underground work and compacted materials to a depth of
\[2,\_\_\_\] feet, fill and regrade site as necessary.\]

control, silt fences, straw dikes, sediment controls, and operator
controls as appropriate. Institute stormwater management measures as
required, including velocity dissipators, and solid waste controls which
address controls for building materials and offsite tracking of
sediment.

2\. Wastewater and Stormwater Management Controls: Use methods of
dewatering, unwatering, excavating, or stockpiling earth and rock
materials which include prevention measures to control silting and
erosion, and which will intercept and settle any runoff of
sediment‑ladened waters. Prevent wastewater from general construction
activities such as drainwater collection, aggregate processing concrete
batching, drilling grouting, or other construction operations, from
entering flowing or dry watercourses without the use of approved
turbidity control methods. Divert stormwater runoff from upslope areas
away from disturbed areas.

turbidity which include, but are not restricted to, intercepting
ditches, settling ponds, gravel filter entrapment dikes, flocculating
processes, recirculation, combinations thereof, or other approved
methods that are not harmful to aquatic life. All such wastewaters
discharged into surface waters shall contain the least concentration of
settleable material possible and shall meet all conditions of section

methods that will prevent entrance, or accidental spillage, of solid
matter, contaminants, debris, or other pollutants or wastes into
streams, flowing or dry watercourses, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, or
underground water sources. Such pollutants and wastes include, but are
not restricted to: refuse, garbage, cement, sanitary waste, industrial
waste, hazardous materials, radioactive substances, oil and other
petroleum products, aggregate processing tailings, mineral salts, and
thermal pollution.

a\. Do not stockpile or deposit excavated materials or other
construction materials, near or on, stream banks, lake shorelines, or
other watercourse perimeters where they can be washed away by high water
or storm runoff, or can in any way encroach upon the watercourse.

b\. Place all oil or other petroleum product (hereinafter referred to
collectively as oil) storage tanks at least 20 feet from streams,
flowing or dry watercourses, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, and any other
water source.

c\. Diked storage areas shall be at least 12 inches high or graded and
sloped to permit safe containment of leaks and spills equal to the
capacity of all tanks and/or containers located in each area plus a
sufficient amount of freeboard to contain the 25‑year rainstorm.

d\. Provide diked areas with an impermeable barrier at least 10 mils
thick. Provide areas used for refueling operations with an impermeable
liner at least 10 mils thick buried under 2 to 4 inches of soil.

e\. Do not use underground storage tanks.

3.9 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

A. Preservation: Preserve the natural landscape and preserve and protect
existing vegetation not required or otherwise authorized to be removed.
Conduct operations, to prevent unnecessary destruction, scarring, or
defacing of the natural surroundings in the vicinity of the work. Move
crews and equipment within the rights‑of‑way and over routes provided
for access to the work in a manner to prevent damage to grazing land,
crops, or property.

B. Protection: Protect vegetation from damage or injury caused by
construction operations, personnel, or equipment by the use of
protective barriers or other methods approved by the Contracting
Officer. Minimize to the greatest extent practicable clearings and cuts
through vegetation. Shape irregularly authorized clearings and cuts to
soften undesirable aesthetic impacts.

C. Anchorage: Do not use trees for anchorages except in emergency cases
or as approved by the Contracting Officer. For such use, wrap the trunk
with a sufficient thickness of approved protective material before any
rope, cable, or wire is placed.

1\. Use safety ropes where tree climbing is necessary; do not use
climbing spurs.

D. Damaged Vegetation: The repair or treatment of injured vegetation and
the replacement of trees or shrubs shall be at the expense of the
Contractor.

Section 02\_\_\_\_\_, and as recommended by and under the direction of
an experienced horticulturist or licensed tree surgeon approved by the
Contracting Officer.

3\. Restore temporary roads to original landscape contours and make
impassable to vehicular traffic when no longer required. Scarify and
regrade the Government land used for construction purposes and not
required for the completed installation so that surfaces blend with the
natural terrain and are in a condition that will \[facilitate natural
revegetation,\] provide proper drainage and prevent erosion.

4\. \[See Section 02\_\_\_\_ for revegetation after obliteration of
temporary construction roads.\]

**\*\*\*\* or \*\*\*\***

4\. \[Replant regraded areas of Government land used for construction
purposes and not required for the completed installation and other areas
where vegetation has been destroyed or damaged by operations. Revegetate
the area, as recommended by an experienced local horticulturist, with
the same species of native plants, or other approved perennial
