Take care not to damage trees when scattering waste materials.

Watering:

1. The Contractor shall apply water to the road surface only to the full extent necessary to prevent segregation of the surfacing material and to maximize the compaction potential of the surfacing material as required elsewhere herein. The water must be clean, free of oils, hazardous chemicals, or any known pollutant agents.
