Can any debris removed from project area be placed in the areas designated for debris on the drawings?

Response:

If you notice sheet 15, the borrow area cross section shows a location for spoil and woody debris, these are separate piles and the contractor is responsible for separating and piling in accordance with that cross-section detail.

Again please note the sheet 15 borrow area cross section detail, it as well as the construction specifications outline the requirements.
