<br />below a flat plane ext'endmg across the rights-ofwag no part of which shall extend above the elevations stated above; manholes, lampholes, valves, etc, not
<br />included. Future surface elevations shall be anticipated as nearly as possible and structure elevations shall be established for future adjustments accordingly.
<br />E. The County hereby reserves the right to specify in the Special Provisions the gage and surface trearment of any galvanized corrugated metal pipe that is to be
<br />installed.
<br />E All longitudinal utility facilities are to be established (and dimensioned on sketches) from surveyed centerline of read right of -way, not from right-of-way

<br />90% compaction is required, and bvo-feet where 80% compaction is required.
<br />E_ No portion ofthe excavation(s) shall be compacted by ponding orjetting unless a maintenance bond is provided
<br />F, Gravel backfill material shall be utilized only where specifically se stated on the face ofthe permit. It shall be compacted by means of a high -frequency

<br />depth of the lift. -

<br />or as a result of construction operations at the construction site(s) occupied by materials and/or equipment, shall be restored inunediandy upon backfilling of

<br />H All surfacing materials of roadways and driveway approaches cut or damaged by or as a result of construction operations, shall be replaced within ONE
