Replace the first five paragraphs of Article 1030.06 of the Standard Specifications with the following:

“ 1030.06 Quality Management Program. The Quality Management Program (QMP) will be Quality Control / Quality Assurance (QC/QA) according to the following.”

Delete Article 1030.06(d)(1) of the Standard Specifications.

Revise Article 1030.09(g)(3) of the Standard Specifications to read:

“ (3) If core testing is the density verification method, the Contractor shall provide personnel and equipment to collect density verification cores for the Engineer. Core locations will be determined by the Engineer following the document “Hot-Mix Asphalt QC/QA Procedure for Determining Random Density Locations” at density verification intervals defined in Article 1030.09(b). After the Engineer identifies a density verification location and prior to opening to traffic, the Contractor shall cut a 4 in. (100 mm) diameter core. With the approval of the Engineer, the cores may be cut at a later time.”

Revise Article 1030.09(h)(2) of the Standard Specifications to read:

“ (2) After final rolling and prior to paving subsequent lifts, the Engineer will identify the random density verification test locations. Cores or nuclear density gauge testing will be used for density verification. The method used for density verification will be as selected below.

Density Verification Method Cores

Nuclear Density Gauge (Correlated when paving ≥ 3,000 tons per mixture)

Density verification test locations will be determined according to the document “Hot- Mix Asphalt QC/QA Procedure for Determining Random Density Locations”. The density testing interval for paving wider than or equal to 3 ft (1 m) will be 0.5 miles (800

m) for lift thicknesses of 3 in. (75 mm) or less and 0.2 miles (320 m) for lift thicknesses greater than 3 in. (75 mm). The density testing interval for paving less than 3 ft (1 m) wide will be 1 mile (1,600 m). If a day’s paving will be less than the prescribed density testing interval, the length of the day’s paving will be the interval for that day. The density testing interval for mixtures used for patching will be 50 patches with a minimum of one test per mixture per project.

If core testing is the density verification method, the Engineer will witness the Contractor coring, and secure and take possession of all density samples at the

X

LR1030‐2

density verification locations. The Engineer will test the cores collected by the Contractor for density according to Illinois Modified AASHTO T 166 or AASHTO T 275.

If nuclear density gauge testing is the density verification method, the Engineer will conduct nuclear density gauge tests. The Engineer will follow the density testing procedure detailed in the document “Illinois Modified ASTM D 2950, Standard Test Method for Density of Bituminous Concrete In-Place by Nuclear Method”.

A density verification test will be the result of a single core or the average of the nuclear density tests at one location. The results of each density test must be within acceptable limits. The Engineer will promptly notify the Contractor of observed deficiencies.”

Revise the seventh paragraph and all subsequent paragraphs in Section D. of the document “Hot-Mix Asphalt QC/QA Initial Daily Plant and Random Samples” to read:

“Mixtures shall be sampled from the truck at the plant by the Contractor following the same procedure used to collect QC mixture samples (Section A). This process will be witnessed by the Engineer who will take custody of the verification sample. Each sample bag with a verification mixture sample will be secured by the Engineer using a locking ID tag. Sample boxes containing the verification mixture sample will be sealed/taped by the Engineer using a security ID label.”

Perry County Highway Department Attn: Brian Otten 3698 State Route 13/127 Pinckneyville, Illinois 62274

Subject: FAS 1825 (Kathleen Road) Culvert Extension on a tributary to Sixmile Creek (24-00155-00-SP)

Dear Mr. Otten:

This letter is in response to the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) submitted on September 24, 2025, for the culvert extension carrying Federal Aid Secondary (FAS) 1825 over a tributary to Sixmile Creek in Du Quoin Township, Perry County, Illinois. A review of the information provided indicates that the proposed work includes the extension of the existing double 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) culverts, installation of flared end sections, and placement of rock riprap aprons at the inlet and outlet of the culverts. The permanent discharge of fill material includes the placement of the culvert extensions, flared end sections, and rock riprap, which will result in impact to 0.01-acre of the tributary to Sixmile Creek. The road crossing is located at Latitude 37.9861° and Longitude -89.2757°; near Du Quoin, Illinois.

The Corps of Engineers has determined that the proposed work is authorized by NWP 14, Linear Transportation Projects pursuant to authorities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1344). The proposed work must be accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed general conditions, any regional conditions, special conditions listed in this letter (if any), and the submitted application materials. If the extent of the project area and/or nature of the authorized impacts to waters are modified, a revised PCN must be submitted to this office for written approval before work is initiated. Any violation of permit conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to enforcement action.

This verification is valid until March 14, 2026, unless prior to this date the subject NWP(s) is suspended, revoked, or is modified such that the activity no longer complies with the terms and conditions of this NWP.
