Maximum particle size to be no greater than 3 inches in any dimension.
On-site materials are suitable for use as fill if free of debris and particles greater than 3 inches.
1.2.7 Unsatisfactory Materials
Materials which do not comply with the requirements for satisfactory materials are unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory materials also include man-made fills; trash; refuse; backfills from previous construction; roots and other organic matter or frozen material. Notify the Contracting Officer when encountering any contaminated materials.
1.2.8 Cohesionless Materials
Cohesionless materials include materials classified in ASTM D2487 as GW, GP, SW, and SP. Materials classified as GM and SM will be identified as cohesionless only when the fines are non-plastic. Perform testing, required for classifying materials, in accordance with ASTM D4318, ASTM C117, ASTM C136/C136M and ASTM D1140.
1.2.9 Cohesive Materials
Cohesive materials include materials classified as GC, SC, ML, CL, MH, and CH. Materials classified as GM and SM will be identified as cohesive only when the fines are plastic. Perform testing, required for classifying materials, in accordance with ASTM D4318, ASTM C117, ASTM C136/C136M and

HGM #741224 SECTION 31 00 00 Page 3 materials usually require the use of heavy excavation equipment, ripper teeth, or jack hammers for removal.
1.2.11 Unstable Material
Unstable materials are too weak to adequately support the utility pipe, conduit, equipment, or appurtenant structure. Satisfactory material may become unstable due to ineffective drainage, dewatering, becoming frozen, excessive loading.
