2021 ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST – MARIENVILLE RANGER DISTRICT – FR 133 RECONSTRUCTION

GENERAL NOTES

-Prior to any earth disturbing activities, contractor shall call the Pennsylvania One Call System (800-242-1776) and all Oil & Gas Operators in the work area to determine locations of any underground utility lines.

-All limestone material should have CaCO3 content of 83%.

-Contractor is responsible for maintenance of all Forest Service roads over which pit run or commercial stone material is hauled. Roads shall be bladed or shaped to restore travel way to the condition found prior to haul.

-Culvert cleaning and repair will be considered incidental to road reconditioning.

-Contractor shall install “ROAD CLOSED, TRUCK TRAFFIC and ROAD CONSTRUCTION AHEAD” signs on all roads worked on in this project. Signs shall conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Contractor’s sign plan must be approved by Forest Service prior to work. Signs will be covered on weekends, holidays and any days when contractor is not working.

-Roads shall be completed in such a manner that water shall not pond on roadbed or in ditch lines.

-All removed corrugated metal pipe culverts shall be hauled off Federal lands and become the property of the contractor, unless otherwise indicated for salvage. Steel pipe casings shall be returned to Sheffield Work Center unless otherwise directed by Engineer.

-Contouring, topsoil re-spreading, seeding and mulching of disturbed areas as determined by the Forest Service is required.

-DSA Limestone shall be shipped at optimum moisture content not exceeding 15%. Limestone loads that fail field test parameters will be rejected.

-When replacing culverts in live streams, contractor shall install silt fence and straw bales at approaches to live stream crossings to eliminate sediment in the stream course. When culverts are located on High Quality and Exceptional Value streams, contractor shall install compost filter socks. Any sediments collected will be removed and ground will be stabilized with seed and mulch. Dewatering pups will be used to redirect water out of stream course at the time of stream crossing installation. Silt fence and straw bales will be removed only after vegetation is clearly re-established as determined by the Engineer.

-Roadway sod encountered during road reconditioning operations will be spread and leveled outside road template avoiding piles. Natural terrain depressions and opening are the preferred waste locations.

Seeding and mulching may be required to supplement natural revegetation.

-Aggregate stockpiled for culver replacement will be located on the existing road surface to assure maximum utilization of the material and eliminate disturbance of existing vegetated areas.

-Contractor shall install silt fence and straw bales at live stream crossings to eliminate sediment in the stream course. Any sediment collected will be removed and stabilized with seed and mulch.

-The bridge at MP 3.93 has a weight limit of 6 tons. Contractor will need to coordinate mobilization and haul accordingly.
