Other areas designated in the Plans or by the Specifications. <br />C. Depths of Removal <br />1. In the areas listed below all roots and other debris shall be <br />removed to a depth of at least one foot below ground surface. The <br />surface shall then be plowed to a depth of at least six inches and <br />all roots exposed shall be removed to a depth of at least one foot. <br />All stumps including subsurface roots shall be completely removed <br />to the satisfaction of the Landscape Architect. <br />Trees shall be removed so roots are pulled out rather than broken <br />or sawed off. Areas requiring the removal methods stated in this <br />paragraph are as follows: <br />a) Excavation areas where roots or similar vegetation in the top <br />one foot would interfere with disking, harrowing, or finish <br />grading operations prior to landscaping. <br />2. In all other embankment areas not listed above where Clearing and <br />Grubbing is to be done, all roots, stumps, and debris protruding <br />through or appearing on the surface shall be removed to a depth of <br />at least one foot below the surface but no plowing or harrowing will <br />be required in these areas. <br />D.

No equipment shall <br />stand, stop, or travel across or inside the drip line of any trees or <br />vegetation designated to be saved or protected. <br />E. Boulders: Any boulders laying on the top of the existing surface or <br />otherwise encountered during the Clearing and Grubbing shall be <br />removed and disposed of by the Contractor in areas provided by the <br />Contractor. As an alternate to off -site disposal and at the Contractor's <br />expense, he may elect to utilize these boulders in embankments provided <br />the conditions of Article 3.04 in Section 02820 are satisfied. Any breaking <br />or splitting of boulders that may be necessary to comply with size <br />requirements for embankment shall be incidental to the cost of Clearing <br />and Grubbing. No boulders or rock shall be left or placed on -site. <br />i <br />December 2006 <br />02817 -2 <br />06 -5723 <br />
