5. All replacements of underground construction and surface structures or parts thereof shall be made with new materials conforming to the requirements of these specifications or, if not specified, as approved by the Engineer.

6. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage to streets, roads, 0.4-2 highways, railroads, shoulders, ditches, embankments, culverts, bridges, power transmission lines, oil lines, gas lines, or other public or private property or facility, regardless of location or character, which may be caused by moving, hauling, or otherwise transporting equipment, materials, or men to or from the work or any part or site thereof, whether by the Contractor or the Contractor’s subcontractors.

The Contractor shall make satisfactory and acceptable arrangement with the owner of, or the agency or authority having jurisdiction over, the damaged property or facility concerning its repair or replacement or payment of costs incurred in connection with said damage.

B. Protection of Trees and Plants

1. During the project all the trees within the construction limits shall remain standing. The Contractor shall not deface, injure, or destroy trees or shrubs, nor remove or cut them without special authority. No ropes, cables, or guys shall be fastened to or attached to any existing nearby trees for anchorage unless specifically authorized. Where such special emergency use is permitted, the Contractor shall first adequately wrap the trunk with a sufficient thickness of burlap or rags over which softwood cleats shall be tied before any rope, cable, or wire is placed. The Contractor shall in any event be responsible for any damage resulting from such use.

2. Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, trees may possibly be defaced, bruised, injured, or otherwise damaged by the Contractor's equipment or by dumping, or other operations, the Engineer may direct the Contractor to protect adequately such trees by placing boards, planks, or poles around them. When earthwork operations are liable, in the opinion of the Engineer, to cause spoil to roll or otherwise be displaced into uncleared areas, the Contractor shall construct barriers of heavy planking to protect the trees. Spoil that is displaced into uncleared areas shall be removed.

3. Any trees or other landscape features scarred or damaged by the Contractor's equipment or operations shall be restored as nearly as possible to its original condition at the Contractor's expense. The Engineer will determine what methods of restoration shall be used, and whether damaged trees shall be treated and healed or removed and disposed of under requirements for clearing and grubbing.

4. All scars made on trees by equipment, construction operations, or by the removal of limbs larger than 1 inch in diameter shall be coated as soon as possible with an approved tree wound dressing. All trimming or pruning shall be performed in an approved manner by experienced workmen with saws or pruning shears. Tree trimming with axes will not be permitted. The use of climbing ropes will be required where deemed necessary for safety. Trees that are to remain that are subsequently damaged by the Contractor and are beyond saving in

0.4-3 the opinion of the WVDEP, shall be immediately removed and replaced with a nursery grown tree of the same species. The replacement tree shall be planted according to accepted practice of the American Association of Nurseryman during the proper season and be guaranteed to live for 1 full growing season.

C. Watchmen
