B. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to required percentage of maximum dry density or relative dry density for each area material classification. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice.

C. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structure required elevations. Prevent wedging action of backfill against structure by carrying material uniformly around structure approximately same elevation in each lift.

D. Control soil and fill compaction, providing minimum percentage of density specified for each area classification indicated below. Correct improperly compacted areas or lifts as directed by Contracting Officer if soil density tests indicate inadequate compaction.

1. Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements: Compact soil to not less than the following percentages of maximum density, in accordance with AASHTO T-180:

a. Under pavement compact top subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material to at least 95 percent maximum density.

c. Under walkways, compact top 6 inches of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material to at least 95 percent maximum density.

2. Moisture Control: Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned before compaction, uniformly apply water to surface of subgrade or layer of soil material. Apply water in minimum quantities as necessary to prevent free water from appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction operations.

3.5 - EMBANKMENT AND BORROW PLACEMENT
