This project will replace two 60” x 40’ corrugated metal pipe culverts with two 60” x 68’ 16 gage polymer coated
corrugated metal pipe culverts on Road 717 on the Delta National Forest. Road 717, an aggregate surfaced road, is
located on the county line between Sharkey and Yazoo Counties, Mississippi. Four culverts in the roadside ditches
will be replaced to provide access to the adjacent land. The basins at each end of the 60” culverts will be armored
with riprap and new 30” X 50’ roadside ditch culverts will be installed to empty into those basins. The project location
is 2.5 miles west of Holly Bluff, Mississippi.
Remove the existing culverts and properly dispose of them off national forest property. Remove the existing gate and
posts to the northwest of the culverts, taking care not to damage them, and place them in the adjacent wooded area
outside the construction limits. Install the 60” culverts at the same alignment as the existing culverts (about a 6° left
forward skew looking north), with invert elevations as shown on the plans. Install the 30” roadside ditch culverts as
shown in the plans. Supplement the suitable excavated material with select borrow as needed and backfill the
culverts as shown on the plans. Armor the inlet and outlet basins as shown in the plans with 200 lb. riprap over
geotextile filter fabric. Any excavated material not suited for backfill is to be properly disposed of off national forest
property.
Place a 6” compacted layer of #610 (crusher run) crushed limestone aggregate over the excavated area of the
roadbed to a width of 16’. Grade the edges to pull all aggregate back into the travel way and leave a straight, uniform
edge, and grade the aggregate to create a smooth, uniform surface and compact. There will be no surfacing over the
30” culverts.
On all disturbed areas, spread Bahia grass seed at the rate of 20 pounds per acre, 13-13-13 fertilizer at 500 pounds
per acre, and straw mulch at 3,200 pounds per acre. No tackifier is required on the mulch. If seeding is done from
September 15 to March 15, in addition to the above spread rye grass seed at the rate of 80 pounds per acre.
Applicable specifications may be found in FHWA’s FP-14 and the attached supplemental specifications.

Benchmark: N.I.B. 8” Red Oak tree, 105’ NW of the intersection of the CL of the road and CL of the existing culverts.
Elevation = 89.56’.
