TOTAL: 3,675 cubic feet/99.23 tons

SPECIFICATION DEVIATION

Filter Anthracite Moisture Content-< 4% < 15% when shipped Specific Gravity- 1.60 +/- 0.05 1.60 or more Specification requiring that the submittals be approved by a licensed engineer employed by the supplier of the filter media would be a violation of the licensing laws. It is the responsibility of the Designer of the record to approve submittals, not the supplier of materials and services.

Material meets American Water Works Association Standard B100-16 for Filtering Material and listed under the National Sanitation Foundation Standard 61 - Process Media. One sample supplied to the testing laboratory and one test report of each size prepared by an independent testing laboratory, detailing the physical and chemical characteristics, will be provided for review and the final written approval for payment must be received at our plants prior to release for shipment. Any additional testing including receipt tests will be at the expense of others.

Material will be packaged in semi-bulk containers with lifting straps and bottom discharge spout, containing approximately 2,000-pounds per sack, palletized. The weight of the packaged anthracite is the weight at the time of packaging at the production facility and includes moisture, which may or may not be present after transportation and storage.

UNIFILT can furnish the necessary equipment and labor required for removal (on-site disposal) and the "hydraulic" installation of the new media. Pricing available upon request.
