Mechanical diggers such as augers may be used but sloped sides of the planting hole must be excavated and scarified with a hand tool to remove glazed surfaces. Before placing the rootball in the hole, the contractor shall determine if the depth of the hole is the same as, or slightly less than the distance between the topmost structural root and the bottom of the rootball. In no case shall the topmost structural root be lower than the adjacent grade. Installations with root balls planted too deep will be rejected. All trees/shrubs shall be set upright and oriented to give the best relationship to adjacent traffic, structures, and trees. The top of the rootball does not denote the topmost structural root, in some instances the top of the rootball shall be removed to expose the root flare or topmost structural root.

13.2.4.6. After putting ¼ of the backfill soil in the hole, all burlap, twine, rope, and wire baskets shall be cut off and removed at least 8 to 10 inches below the topmost structural root. If roots are circling or girdling, they shall be cut and removed. The hole shall be backfilled with the same soil removed from the hole. Soil shall be tamped slightly to pack rootball firmly within the planting hole. When the hole is 2/3 full, water should be applied to eliminate air pockets, and tamping of the soil shall not occur once the soil has been watered. The remaining portion of the rootball shall be filled with remaining excavated soil. No soil shall be placed above the topmost structural root. If excess soil is not necessary for the backfill of the rootball as determined by appropriate SABER project manager or CE Environmental Element, the contractor shall remove it from the site. Excess soil shall not be used to create a planting berm.

13.2.4.7. Trees/shrubs should not be staked unless necessary.

13.3. Wetlands:

13.3.1. Wetland Permits:

13.3.1.1. The contractor is responsible for project compliance with federal, state and local wetland regulations. It is incumbent upon design and contracting personnel and contractors to determine wetland permitting and mitigation requirements. This process should begin with the preparation of the DD 1391 and AF Form 813 routed for coordination through CE Environmental Element. Allow at least 60 - 90 days for the acquisition of a wetlands permit if one is required. For additional information on the application process please refer to this link: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WetlandsStreams/PermitsFeesRegulations

13.3.1.2. All wetlands permitting shall be completed prior to the start of construction activities that will affect the waters of the United States.

13.3.1.3. To delineate wetlands and other waters of the United States, the contractor/Consultant selected should be familiar with and utilize the current 1987 Corps Wetlands Delineation Manual, and subsequent guidance, to perform a wetland(s) delineation. The contractor/consultant's findings should then be provided to the Corps in the form of a report. Corps staff will review the validity of the report and make a written and appealable agency determination on the presence and extent of wetlands and other waters of the United States on the property.

13.3.1.4. A Joint Permit Application (JPA) is used to apply for standard permits, also known as individual permits, for work in the waters of the United States (including wetlands) within Virginia. Such work may include construction, dredging, filling, or excavation in the waters or in wetlands. The JPA may be optionally used for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) Preconstruction Notification (PCN), but if used for a PCN must be boldly marked as a PCN and check marked on page 7 of the July 2008 revision as a PCN.

13.3.1.4.1. These applications are used to apply for permits from the Norfolk District Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC), the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and local wetlands boards. The JPA process and JPA forms are used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC), the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and the Local Wetlands Boards (LWB) for permitting purposes involving water, wetlands, and/or dune/beach resources, including, but not limited to, construction, dredging, filling, or excavation. Read the directions on the application carefully to determine how many copies must be submitted to the VMRC, who acts as the clearinghouse for permit applications. Permit applicants may obtain paper copies of the Joint Permit Applications by calling the Corps at 757.201.7652, or by download: http://www.nao.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/JPA.aspx

13.3.1.4.2. There are two different JPA available for use depending on the type of activity that you are proposing. If you propose to impact tidal waters, or wetlands, or dunes/beaches in the Tidewater area of Virginia, you may be eligible to use the TIDEWATER JPA, an abbreviated version of the JPA. Activities eligible to use the Tidewater JPA include piers, boathouses, boat ramps, moorings, marinas, aquaculture facilities, riprap revetments, bulkheads, marsh toe stabilizations, breakwaters, beach nourishment, groins, jetties, road crossings over tidal waterways, and utility lines over or under tidal waterways. Dredging and excavation projects in tidal waterways/wetlands MUST use the Standard JPA.
