resulting compaction shall not be less than ninety percent (90%) or equivalent to the surrounding ground, whichever is the
greater compaction. Where ponding or flooding is used for a maximum settlement, adequate dikes will be constructed to

Thefirst length of trench backfilled shall be backfilled in the presence of the City Inspector.
Compaction shall be tested at random depths at approximate three-foot vertical intervals as
backfill is placed to ensure the effectiveness of the compaction methods and to establish the depth
of lift that can be compacted.
If lifts greater than one foot are attempted in this trial length of trench, compaction tests shall be
taken within the lifts to ensure that the full depth of the lift is compacted. Upon satisfactory
completion of this portion of trench, the City Inspector shall establish the maximum lift thickness
to be compacted for the remainder of the project.

backfill, per 300 linear feet of open trench, at randomly selected locations within the open length
of trench.
The depth of the randomly selected compaction tests shall also be randomly selected except that

however, Permittee may leave a length of excavated trench, not to exceed twenty (20) feet in length,
open overnight at a point where construction will begin the next day, provided that this length of trench
