00235.42 Source Setup - Before proceeding with Work in the material source, the following apply:

(a) Access:

• (Routine road maintenance activities such as grading and watering of the access road do not need review or approval. Perform maintenance of the cattle guard on the existing paved access road as part of routine road maintenance activities.

Maintain or develop drain dips, water bars, road crowning, in-slopes and out-slopes during road maintenance.

• If needed use existing, loose and non-stockpiled material or clean soil or a combination of clean soil and rock, construct a stormwater control berm(s). Grade and leave level, all areas of the material source disturbed during construction of the stormwater control berm(s). Construct the stormwater control berm 3 feet high, with side slopes of 1V:2H. After completion of the stormwater control berm, seed according to 00235.46.

• Use overburden or existing, loose and non-stockpiled material or imported or clean soil or a combination of clean soil and rock, to construct a safety berm along the top edge of the new excavation or existing slopes as needed. Maintain a 10-foot buffer between the top edge of the excavation or slope and the toe of the safety berm.

Construct the berm 3 feet high, with side slopes of 1V:2H.

(b) Clearing and Grubbing - Before stripping of overburden clear and grub all trees within the excavation area, to be developed for stockpile and processing and the area to be developed as access roads. Place all logs in the log decks and other woody debris in the slash disposal area as shown.

(c) Overburden - Before excavating, including drilling and blasting when required, strip and stockpile all soil overburden from within the excavation area and from the area to be developed for stockpile and processing.). Incorporate grass and small shrubs into the stockpiles. Do not remove grass or small shrubs from the overburden. Incorporate overburden into safety berms. Maintain a minimum 10-foot buffer strip between the toe of the overburden storage area(s) and the excavation area. Store overburden stripped from the stockpile and processing area as shown, a minimum of 10 feet from the toe of the Aggregate stockpiles. Smooth and contour overburden storage berms to form side Slopes no steeper than 1V:2H.

00235.43 Blasting - Perform blasting operations according to this Section and Section 00335, except that perimeter controlled blasting as described in 00335.40(a) is not required in the material source.

Restrict blasting to the hours of 9:00 a.m. to5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Do not blast on Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays as defined in ORS 279C.540.

Submit blast plan to USFS Malheur National Forest District Ranger 14 days prior to blasting, and notify and obtain approvals from USFS Malheur National Forest at least 48 hours before blasting.

• A water source is not available on-site within the material source. A possible water source for dust suppression is located at the ODOT Austin Maintenance Facility on US26 at approximate Milepoint 191.07. Stockpile scalpings and reject fines in separate and accessible stockpiles as shown.

• If the Contractor chooses to utilize this material source, maintain the condition of the paved access road and the existing entry/exit area onto US 26 at all times. Provide traffic control related to ingress and egress movements in a manner that allows a safe work zone and safe passage of vehicles.

• Maintain the cattle guard and livestock gate on the paved access road into the source at all times.

00235.45 Source Clean-up - The following apply at the completion of operations:

• Leave no loose material on the site exceeding 1 foot diameter, except as noted below.

Process existing oversize material, and all material loosened in the source by the Contractor that meets quality requirements.

• No oversize material with a maximum dimension of 2.5 feet may be stockpiled in the material source.

• Place all excess produced Aggregate remaining at the end of operations in separate and accessible stockpiles on Agency owned or controlled property in areas designated by the Engineer, at no additional cost to the Agency.

• Leave the material source haul road and bench access road open. Do not rip or block the roads except a few boulders greater than approximately three feet in diameter may be used to block off access to the bench areas.

• Remove all loose, hanging or potentially dangerous Rock on or above the excavated surface.

• Pile and burn all construction slash and combustible debris resulting from use and development of the source, including the preexisting refuse identified at the pre-work meeting, even if it is from outside the material source project boundary except for grass and small shrubs that are incorporated into the overburden. Comply with all open burning regulations in effect at the time of source occupancy. If burning is not allowed, all construction slash and combustible debris become the property of the Contractor, to be treated as noncombustible and removed from material source.
