EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL OF EXCAVATED MATERIAL: The contractor and/or the utility company shall provide and place the necessary sheeting, shoring and bracing required to prevent caving, loss or settlement of foundation material supporting the pavement, or any other highway installation such as sewers, culverts, etc. The contractor and/or utility company shall assume the full responsibility for this protection. Excavated material shall be stocked in such locations that it does not obstruct vision on the traveled portion of the highway and in such a manner that it will not interfere with the flow of traffic. Sod and topsoil shall be stocked separately from other excavated material. The applicant shall dispose of all surplus and unsuitable material outside of the limits of the right-of-way unless the permit provides for, and with approval of abutting property owners, disposal at approved locations with the right-of-way. In the latter case, the material shall be leveled and trimmed in a manner approved by the Road Commission for Oakland County.

2. BACKFILLING AND COMPACTING BACKFILL: All trenches, holes, pits, and other excavations shall be filled with approved excavated earth or with MDOT Class II granular material if so provided, placed in successive layers not more than 9 inches in depth, loose measure, and each layer shall be thoroughly compacted by tamping and all backfill compaction will be subject to check by the Controlled Density Method (minimum 95%). Restoration shall be such that it will provide a condition equal to or better than the original condition and in accordance with current Road Commission for Oakland County standards. Any excavation within the right of way outside traveled portion of road must be maintained until all settlement has occurred and must be restored and seeded or sodded as directed. The permit will not be released until the Road Commission is satisfied that no further settlement will occur.

3. CROSSING ROADBED BY TUNNELING, DIRECTIONAL BORE, JACK CASING AND BORE: When the pipe is installed by tunneling without cutting the existing pavement, the tunnel shall be adequately sheeted or shored to prevent the sides and top from collapsing or the pavement from settling or cracking. Directional bore shall be at least 4 diameters under the pavement or 48 inches, whichever is greater. When the pipe is installed by boring and jacking, the leading edge of the pipe must always precede the auger. The tunnel backfill shall be made by tamping a dry mix of lean concrete into place so as to completely fill any voids remaining around the installation. The concrete shall be composed of one part of Portland cement and 10 parts of sand-gravel by volume. Tunnel and boring pits shall be at least 10 feet from the edge of the pavement unless otherwise approved.

4. CROSSING BY CUTTING GRAVEL ROADS: All trenches are to be backfilled with approved material to within 12 inches of surface within the limits of the roadbed. Backfill methods will be as described in paragraph 2 above. All surplus excavated material will be disposed of as described in paragraph 1.

The top 12 inches within the roadbed will be backfilled with processed road gravel (MDOT 22A or 23A). Trenches outside of the roadbed will be backfilled in accordance with paragraph 2 above.

5. CROSSING BY CUTTING PAVEMENT AND TRENCHING: When this method is approved by the Road Commission, the pavement shall be cut so that the opening is a minimum of 5 feet wide and at least 1 foot wider on each side than the trench. In no case shall an open cut result in a remaining slab width of less than 5 feet from patch to an existing joint. The cut shall be made by sawing to a full pavement depth. Cuts in concrete residential and commercial drives shall be as above except that the patch width shall be a minimum of 3 feet and the remaining slab from patch to existing joint a minimum of 3 feet. Backfill shall be made with MDOT Class II granular material. After the backfill has been placed by control density method and thoroughly compacted, the pavement shall be replaced with a temporary surface of approved hot-mixed bituminous material and later replaced with new pavement of the original type and quality by the Permit Licensee unless other provisions are included in the permit.

6. DEPTH OF COVER MATERIAL: Pipes shall be placed to a depth that will provide not less than 4 feet of cover between the top of roadway surface and top of the pipe.

7. TREE TRIMMING OR REMOVAL: All trees that may be affected by the proposed construction shall be shown on the plans. The plan must clearly indicate which trees are proposed to be removed, trimmed and/or tunneled. This work, if approved, must be done in accordance with current Board standards, including advance notification of abutting property owners. Wood Disposal License Agreement(s) will be required for any tree work

8. DISPOSAL OF GROUND WATER: Roadside drainage systems – open ditches, storm sewers, etc. – shall not be used for the disposal of water pumped from below the surface of the ground unless specifically allowed by the Road Commission. Details such as volume and frequency of discharge, erosion control, duration of use, NPDES permit and other pertinent information as may be required must be submitted with the application for such permission.

9. Any proposed operation in the right of way not covered by the above specifications, submitted with this application, shall be done in accordance with any additional specifications deemed necessary by the Board or as outlined in the Permit Rules, Specifications and Guidelines.

Very truly yours, HUBBELL, ROTH & CLARK, INC.
