Level and smooth each embankment layer before placing the next layers. Operate spreading and compacting equipment uniformly over the full width of each layer. Place geotextile between layers as shown on the plans. Construct a solid embankment with adequate compaction by working smaller rock and fines in with the larger rocks to fill the voids, and by operating spreading and compacting equipment uniformly over the full width of each layer as the embankment is constructed.

204.12 Ditches. Slope, grade, and shape ditches. Remove all projecting roots, stumps, rock, or similar matter. Maintain all ditches in an open condition and free from leaves, sticks, and other debris.
