Incorporate grass and small shrubs into the safety berm. Do not remove grass or small shrubs from the overburden. Maintain a minimum 10-foot buffer strip between the toe of the overburden safety berm, and the excavation area or the toe of the Aggregate stockpiles. Smooth and contour overburden safety 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.

For material source Rose and Bone Creeks Quarry 00235.01(a) restrict blasting to the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Do not blast on Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays as defined in ORS 279C.540.
