NARRATIVE REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority(RWSA) is proposing to repair a segment of their North
Rivanna water transmission main in northern Albemarle County, VA. An existing 12 inch
diameter cast iron water main currently crosses the North Fork Rivanna River just west of Rte.
29. The water main is an existing high pressure line which services residential, commercial,
industrial and government properties in the north Albemarle service area. The TMP parcel Nos.
for this project will include 32-6A and 32G-C.
The project site resides within the jurisdiction of Albemarle County, and all necessary permits
will be coordinated with the County. A USCOE permit and VDOT Land-use permit will also be
obtained. The river banks have seen recent, accelerated erosion problems and the line is in
danger of being exposed. The RWSA proposes to relocate approximately 300 LF of water main
to move the line back away from the banks, and to bury it deeper to gain adequate cover over
the pipe. This project is simply a pipe relocation, and no impervious area exists, or will be
increased, as a result of the work. Disturbed area will be limited to that normally occurring
during a small diameter pipe trenching job. Access to the north river bank will be along an
existing gravel road, and a temporary gravel access road will be constructed on the south side.
The gravel access road will be fully removed at the conclusion of the project, and all disturbed
areas restored with seeding and mulch.
The disturbed area for these improvements is approximately 0.76 acres. The project will be
done by open cut trenching methods, and the excavated soil will be re-used as backfill in the
trench. It is anticipated that excess soil will be minimal, but if encountered it will be removed
from the site by the contractor, and disposed of in an approved location with all required permits
to be acquired by the contractor.
Erosion and sediment control measures will be used to limit erosion and contain sediment from
the construction and cleared areas prior to the establishment of vegetation. Due to the confined
work area space available near the river, the options for erosion and sediment control features
were limited.

SOILS
Three soil types exist on the project site. These soils have been identified and classed by the
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and are detailed below.
10— Buncombe Loamy Sand
The Buncombe series soils, an excessively well-drained series, exist predominantly in
floodplains and typically have a depth to the water table or restrictive features of over 80 inches.
Buncombe series soils originate from sandy alluvium derived from igneous rock.
14D—Chester Loam
The Chester series soils, a well-drained series, exist predominantly in hillslopes and typically
have a depth to the water table or restrictive features of over 80 inches. Chester series soils
originate from residuum weathered granite and gneiss. Slopes range from 15 to 25 percent.
88— Udorthents, Loamy
Udorthents exist predominantly in interfluves and flood plains. They typically have a depth to the
water table or restrictive features of over 80 inches. Udorthents soils originate from residuum
weathered granite and gneiss. Slopes can range from 2 to 25 percent.
ADJACENT AREAS
Land use immediately surrounding the property consists primarily of rural woodland with some
light residential development to the north. The property is bounded to the east by VDOT public
R/W on Rte. 29 (major divided highway corridor).
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES
A majority of the erosion and sediment control devices and measures have been designed and
placed in accordance with the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (VESCH), Third
Edition, 1992.
If necessary, temporary measures will be used to limit erosion and contain sediment from
cleared areas prior to the establishment of permanent vegetation. Once construction, including
all structural measures, is complete and permanent vegetative cover has been established,
these measures may be removed with approval from the engineer. Vegetative cover for
disturbed areas will consist of grasses as recommended by the Virginia Erosion and Sediment
Control Handbook. See the Plans and Specification Section 02911 — Seeding, Topsoiling,
Fertilizing and Mulching.
The temporary measures proposed for this improvement include silt fence, construction
entrances, temporary seeding and mulching, construction road stabilization, check dams, utility
stream crossing (cofferdam) and dewatering structures (filter box) measures as required. The
above devices will filter sediment from runoff to prevent sediment from being deposited off-site,
while the temporary seeding will limit erosion during construction activities. Permanent
measures proposed include permanent seeding and mulching. See Specification Section
02370— Erosion and Sediment Control and Section 02911 —Seeding, Topsoiling, Fertilizing and
Mulching for further details on these temporary and permanent measures.
An additional temporary measure to be utilized is a modified mudtrap. A variance request has
been included in the E&SC plan submittal, and will need approval from Albemarle County for it's
use. The construction work area is extremely confining near the river bank, and beneficial
results will be evident if the smaller footprint mudtrap device is allowed.
Temporary Stabilization
A majority of the temporary sediment and erosion control measures were designed and chosen
based on criteria from the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (VESCH).
Stabilization construction entrances/exits and silt fence are designed in accordance with the
guidelines established in VESCH Sections 3.02 and 3.05.
Temporary seeding measures were chosen as per the recommendations of VESCH Section
3.31.
Permanent Stabilization
Upon completion of the project, permanent vegetative plantings will be used to achieve
stabilization of the site. All temporary erosion and sediment control measures will be removed
once the site has been stabilized. All permanent vegetative plantings conform to those
specified in the VESCH Section 3.32. See Specification Section 02911 — Seeding, Topsoiling,
Fertilizing, and Mulching for the proposed seeding schedule.
Erosion Control Sequence
1) No demolition, construction or land disturbance activities may begin until a pre-construction
meeting has been held with the County, and all perimeter erosion control measures have
been installed as per Contract Drawings. If clearing is required for installation of a particular
measure, all other measures shown shall be installed first; clearing of the land necessary
may then proceed.
2) Once all measures have been installed, the site shall be mobilized onto as necessary within
the limits of disturbance as per the Contract Drawings. Efforts shall be made to minimize
the amount of cleared area exposed at any given time.
3) Once mobilization is complete, any necessary topsoil stripping may begin. Topsoil shall be
stockpiled on site in the stockpiling areas per the Contract Drawings. The stockpile shall
receive such temporary seeding measures as may be required. Any soil taken offsite shall
be stockpiled at locations with all required permits. If offsite location does not have all
required permits, the contractor is responsible for obtaining any required permits.
4) Demolition, earthwork and construction operations may begin once topsoil has been
removed and stockpiled.
5) Once perimeter erosion control measures are in place, construction activities for the water
main relocation may begin.
6) All pipes shall be installed in accordance with standard construction techniques. Only the
length of trench in which pipe can be installed per the Contract Documents shall be open at
any time, with spoil material placed on the uphill side of the trench. Piping shall be capped
at the end of each day's work to prevent sediment from entering. The trench shall be
backfilled at the end of each day's work and the disturbed area seeded and mulched within
seven (7) days of backfill.
7) Temporary soil stabilization shall be applied within seven (7) days to denuded areas that
may not be at final grade but will remain dormant for longer than fourteen (14) days, except
for that portion of the site on which work will be continuous beyond fourteen (14) days.
8) Once water main construction is complete, final seeding and mulching may begin.
9) Upon completion of final grading, permanent seeding, mulching and fertilizing measures
shall be employed on all disturbed areas as per Section 02911 — Seeding, Topsoiling,
Fertilizing, and Mulching. Permanent soil stabilization shall be applied within seven (7)
days after final grade is reached on any portion of the site. All erosion control measures
shall remain in place until the entire site has been stabilized.
10)Once permanent stabilization has occurred, temporary sediment control measures shall be
removed. Any areas disturbed by the removal of these measures shall be returned as
closely as possible to original condition and seeded, mulched and fertilized as per
Specification Section 02911.
Maintenance and Sediment Disposal
All sediment and erosion control measures shall be inspected upon installation, at least once
every fourteen (14) days and within 48 hours following any runoff-producing rainfall event.
Repairs to, or replacement of, measures shall occur immediately if necessary and accumulated
sediment removed as needed.
Sediment shall be removed from all erosion control measures when the sediment storage
volume of the measure has become 50% full. All removed sediment shall be disposed of in an
approved manner at the stockpile location or a location to be designated by the Engineer or
Owner. Steps shall be taken at the disposal site to insure that further sediment transport does
not occur.
All disturbed areas shall be permanently seeded as soon as possible, but in no case later than
seven (7) calendar days after construction activities are complete. Areas shall be seeded,
fertilized and mulched in accordance with the Seeding schedule in Section 02911 — Seeding,
Topsoiling, Fertilizing and Mulching of the Specifications.
STORMWATER ANALYSIS
The proposed site, which disturbs less than one (1) acre of land, currently has no impervious
area on it. The proposed project consists solely of relocation of buried waterline utility piping and
appurtenances. There will be no additional impervious area created as a result of this project,
therefore, new SWM features are not required.
CRITICAL SLOPES
Critical slopes, as defined by the County of Albemarle, are areas of topographic inclines that
exceed a 25% slope. By definition, if these slopes exist naturally, no disturbance or impact are
to be made to these slopes without approval by the County. Critical slopes may exist near the
river banks on this site, however, the waterline relocation work will not permanently impact
these slopes. The river banks will receive rip-rap armoring in the location of the relocated
waterline.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the sods
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area.The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas.A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.On the landscape,
however,the soils are natural phenomena,and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena.Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes.Consequently,every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management.These are called contrasting,or dissimilar,components.They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.

instability of, or disturbance to, the sub-grade due to water seepage.
B. Provide adequate protection against flotation for all work.
C. The anticipated subsurface soil/water conditions shall be considered when selecting
methods of excavation and temporary dewatering and drainage systems. Where
groundwater levels are above the proposed bottoms of excavations, a pumped
dewatering system shall be evaluated for pre-drainage of the soils prior to
excavation to final grade and for maintenance of the lowered groundwater level
until construction has been completed to such an extent that the foundation,
structure, pipe, or fill will not be floated or otherwise damaged. Type of
dewatering system, spacing of dewatering units, and other details of the work are
expected to vary with soil/water conditions at a particular location. Excavation
support system designs shall be prepared by a licensed Professional Engineer
registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
3.02 SURFACE WATER CONTROL
A. Control surface water runoff to prevent flow into excavations. Provide temporary
measures such as dikes, ditches, and sumps.
3.03 EXCAVATION DEWATERING
A. Provide and maintain adequate equipment and facilities to promptly remove and
properly dispose of all water entering excavations. Excavations shall be kept in-
the-dry, so as to maintain an undisturbed sub-grade condition throughout

Before excavating within 20 feet of utility poles and gas lines, and after pipeline stake out,
coordinate construction with the appropriate utility company. Immediately notify the
Owner of any conflict of new Work with existing utilities that may require relocation of
new Work or of existing utilities. All necessary support of utility poles shall be the sole
responsibility of the Contractor at no additional expense to the Owner.
B. Prior to excavation, other utilities and underground facilities shall be located to confirm
location, proper depth, and clearances. Care shall be taken in excavating to prevent
damage to underground structures, utilities, and adjacent structures and properties. When
approaching and crossing such installations, a combination of installation methods may be

3.02 EXCAVATION SUPPORT
A. Furnish, install, monitor, and maintain excavation support (e.g., shoring, sheeting, bracing,
trench boxes, etc.) as required by Federal, State, or local laws, ordinances, regulations,
and safety requirements. Support the sides of excavation to prevent any movement which
could in any way reduce the width of the excavation below that necessary for proper
construction and protect adjacent structures from undermining, settlement, or other
damage. Take care to prevent the formation of voids outside of sheeting. If voids occur
behind sheeting, immediately backfill and compact the voids with common fill material.
Voids in locations that cannot be properly compacted upon backfilling shall be filled with
2000 psi concrete or flowable fill.
B. Install excavation supports outside the neat lines of foundations. Supports shall be plumb
and securely braced and tied in position. Excavation support shall be adequate to
withstand all pressures to which the supports will be subjected. Any movement or bulging
of supports shall be corrected to provide the necessary clearances, dimensions, and
structural integrity.
C. Excavation supports left in place.
1. Excavation supports are required to remain in place if installed below the
foundation and within a zone extending from the edge of the foundation and then
outward and downward at 1 H:1 V below the pipe spring line, or as specified on the
Drawings.
2. The Owner may direct that certain excavation supports remain in place, or be cut
off at any specific elevation. If the Contractor believes that such a directive
increases Contractor's cost and would thereby entitle Contractor to a change in
contract cost, Contractor shall notify the Owner in accordance with the applicable
article(s) in the Contract General Conditions pertaining to changes in the Work.
3. The right of the Owner to direct that certain excavation supports remain in place
shall not be construed as creating any obligation to give such direction, nor shall
failure to give such direction relieve the Contractor from liability for damages to
persons or property occurring from or upon the work occasioned by negligence, or
otherwise growing out of a failure on the part of the Contractor to leave in place
sufficient excavation supports to prevent any movement of the ground or damage
to adjacent structures.
D. Excavation supports shall be carefully removed in such manner so as not to endanger the
Work or other adjacent structures, utilities, or property. All voids left or caused by
withdrawal of supports shall be filled with flowable fill.
E. Excavation support systems shall be inspected during and after installation and monthly
thereafter by the support system design engineer. The support system design engineer

North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Excavation and Backfill
shall submit a written report to the Contractor for each inspection describing
recommendations, if any.
3.03 EXCAVATION BELOW GRADE
A. If the bottom of any excavation is taken out below the limits shown on the Drawings, it
shall be refilled with 4-inch layers of compacted granular fill or other material approved by
the Owner.
B. If the sub-grade is damaged by water, remove the unsuitable material and replace it with
compacted granular fill or other approved material at Contractor's own expense so that the
condition of the sub-grade meets with the approval of the Owner before any work is
placed thereon.
C. If, in the opinion of the Owner, the material, in its undisturbed natural condition at or
below the normal grade of the excavation as indicated on the Drawings, is unsuitable for
the work being performed, it shall be removed to such depth and width as directed and be
replaced with suitable material for which compensation will be made at the unit prices
established in the Contract.
3.04 STRUCTURE EXCAVATION
A. Excavation shall be made to the grades shown on the Drawings and to such widths as will
give suitable room for construction of the structures for bracing, shoring, and dewatering.
The bottom of the excavations shall be rendered firm and dry and in all respects acceptable
to the Owner.
B. Excavation and dewatering shall be accomplished by methods that preserve the
undisturbed state of sub-grade soils. Exposed soil and rock sub-grades shall be proof
rolled with at least two coverages of the compaction equipment. Sub-grade soils that
become soft, loose, "quick," or otherwise unsatisfactory for support of structures as a
result of inadequate excavation dewatering, proof rolling, or other construction methods
shall be removed and replaced by granular fill at the Contractor's expense.
C. Dewatering shall be such as to prevent boiling or detrimental under-seepage at the base of
the excavation as specified herein.
D. Excavation equipment shall be satisfactory for carrying out the Work in accordance with
the requirements specified. In no case shall the earth be plowed, scraped, or dug with
machinery so near to the finished sub-grade as to result in excavation of or disturbance of
material below grade. Equipment used for excavation to final sub-grade shall furnish an
undisturbed sub-grade surface.
E. During final excavation to sub-grade level, take whatever precautions are required to
prevent disturbance and remolding. Material that has become softened and mixed with

North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Excavation and Backfill
water shall be removed. Hand excavation of the final 3 to 6 inches may be required to
obtain a satisfactory undisturbed bottom. The Owner will be the sole judge as to whether
the work has been accomplished satisfactorily.
3.05 EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING FOR UNDERSLAB TRENCHES
A. Excavation for all pipelines beneath structures shall be carried out with the excavating
equipment operating from above the sub-grade for the structure. The excavation shall be
carried out in-the-dry and in a manner that will preserve the undisturbed state of the sub-
grade soils. The excavations may be completed with shoring and bracing at the
Contractor's option with no additional cost to the Owner.
3.06 TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING
A. Excavation for all trenches required for the installation of pipes shall be made to the
depths indicated on the Drawings and in such a manner and to such widths as will give
suitable room for laying the pipe within the trench, for bracing and shoring, and
dewatering. Render the bottom of the excavations firm and dry and in all respects
acceptable to the Owner.
Pavement, when encountered, shall be cut along straight lines before excavating. All
excavations in concrete shall be precut in neat straight lines with a pavement breaker or
saw. In sidewalks the excavation shall be a minimum of one "block" in size. If the
sidewalk is combined with the curb, the curbing shall also be removed.
B. Rock shall be removed to a minimum 6-inch clearance around the bottom and 12-inch
minimum clearance on the sides of all pipe being laid.
C. Excavation of earth material below the bottom of a trench shield shall not exceed the
limits established by ordinances, codes, laws, and regulations.
1. When using a trench shield for installing rigid pipe, any portion of the shield
extending below mid-diameter shall be raised above this point prior to moving the
shield ahead to install the next pipe.
2. When using a trench shield for installing flexible pipe (PVC, PE, etc.), the bottom
of the shield shall not extend below mid-diameter at any time.
3. When a shield is removed or moved ahead, extreme care shall be taken to prevent
the movement of pipe or the disturbance of the pipe bedding. Pipe that has been
disturbed shall be removed and reinstalled at Contractor's own expense.
D. Where pipelines are to be constructed in fill areas, all fill material to a level 2 feet above
the "top of pipe" elevation shall be placed and compacted to 95 percent dry density as
determined by ASTM D698 prior to excavating pipe trench.

North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Excavation and Backfill
E. Backfill excavations as promptly as work permits, removing bracing and shoring as
backfilling progresses.
F. Where the pipes are laid in unpaved areas, initial backfill as noted on the Detail Drawings
shall be placed and compacted in 6-inch lifts to a minimum depth of 24 inches above top
of pipe. Compaction shall be to 95 percent of maximum dry density as determined by
ASTM D698. Pipe bedding shall be as shown on the Detail Drawings.
G. In unpaved areas, the remainder of the trench shall be filled with common fill in lifts not to
exceed 1 foot and thoroughly compacted by rolling or tamping to prevent subsequent
settling. The top 1-foot lift shall be common fill. The backfill shall be mounded 3 inches
above the existing grade or as directed. Wherever a loam or gravel surface exists prior to
excavation, it shall be removed, conserved, and replaced to the full original depth as part
of the Work. In some areas it may be necessary to remove excess material during the
clean-up process so that the ground may be restored to its original level and condition. If
storage of loam, gravel, or topsoil is not preferred, replace it with material of equal quality
and in equal quantity at Contractor's own expense. Compaction shall be to 95 percent of
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698.
H. Where the pipes are laid in streets or other paved areas within the VDOT right-of-way, the
trench shall be backfilled, from the spring line of the pipe, with VDOT #21 B crushed
stone in 6 inch lifts thoroughly compacted by rolling or tamping. Compaction shall be to
95 percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698.
I. Where the pipes are laid in streets or other paved areas within the VDOT right-of-way, a
temporary gravel surface may be placed for a maximum of 5 days, but not extending over
a weekend or holiday. At the end of each work week, Contractor shall replace the

D=Nominal pipe diameter(in.)
P =Average test pressure(lbs./in.2)
4. All hydrants, air relief valves, meters, or other appurtenances within the test section
shall be valved-off during testing to prevent possible damage.
5. If any test of installed pipe discloses leakage greater than that allowed, the
Contractor shall, at his own expense, determine the sources of leaks and remedy all
deficiencies as necessary. The installed pipe shall be retested in accordance with the
test procedures above until leakage is within acceptable limits.
3.03 DISINFECTION OF POTABLE WATER PIPING
A. No permanent connections shall be made to the potable water system for the purpose of
flushing and disinfecting new water lines. A temporary connection with an Owner
approved backflow prevention device shall be utilized and provided by the Contractor to
deliver and flush potable water to and from the new waterline. Utilizing a portable pump
with check valves is one method of preventing backflow and achieving the high flows
that are needed to adequately flush large diameter waterlines.
B. Preliminary Flushing - The water line shall be thoroughly flushed with potable water
prior to disinfection to remove any debris that may have entered the line during
construction. The flushing velocity in the line shall not be less than two and one half
(2.5) feet per second. Flushing should continue until the volume of water that has
passed through the waterline is at least two and one half(2.5) times the volume of the
waterline being disinfected and the results of a bag test show no debris. If a bag test
shows any debris, then flushing shall continue until a bag test shows no debris.
It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that the wastewater generated by flushing
activities is disposed of in a responsible manner that is in accordance with all applicable
environmental regulations.
C. All newly installed water piping shall be disinfected in accordance with Virginia
Department of Health Waterworks Regulations and AWWA C651, latest revisions.
Disinfection method shall be by the continuous feed method. The tablet method shall
not be used. Contractor shall be responsible for all aspects of disinfection, sampling, and
testing at his own expense.

North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Water Pipe Testing
1. Continuous feed method.
a. Potable water shall be introduced into the pipeline at a constant flow rate
protected by an approved backflow prevention device. Chlorine shall be added
at a constant rate to this flow so that the chlorine concentration in the water in
the pipe is at least 50 mg/l.
b. The chlorinated water shall remain in the pipeline at least 24 hours, after which
the chlorine concentration in the water shall be at least 10 mg/l.
c. Valves and hydrants and other appurtenances shall be operated during the
disinfection process to be sure that they are disinfected as well.
D. Final Flushing - Following the chlorination period, flush the disinfectant from the piping
with potable water. All treated water flushed from the lines shall be disposed of by
discharging to the sanitary sewer system or other approved means. Provide a minimum
of 2 business days advance notice to the RWSA and ACSA prior to discharging to any
sanitary sewer system. No discharge to any storm sewer or natural watercourse will be
allowed without first dechlorinating the flushed water to a chlorine residual of 1 mg/I or
less.
E. Following final flushing, two (2) water samples for bacteriological test shall be collected
for each 1,200 feet of pipe disinfected, including one set from the end of the line.
Samples shall be taken 24 hours apart. Two consecutively tested samples must indicate
the absence of coliform contamination. Should the tests indicate the presence of
coliform contamination, the Contractor shall repeat the entire disinfection procedure
until two consecutive tests indicate the absence of coliform contamination. All cost for
re-disinfection, sampling, and testing will be at the Contractor's expense. Water samples
for total coliform shall be analyzed by a laboratory that is state certified for total
coliform analyses.
F. Disinfection shall also include hydrants, fittings, taps, tubing, and all other specials used
at connections to existing water mains. These shall be thoroughly disinfected
immediately prior to installation by emersion or spraying with a water solution
containing 250 mg/1 chlorine.
G. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure their operations do not contaminate the
public water supply. If, at any time, the water in the existing system becomes
contaminated, the Contractor shall be held financially accountable for any corrective
action taken by the Owner, as well as for cost of defending and settlement of all claims
resulting from Contractor's negligence, including, but not limited to, costs and
attorney's fees.

PART 3- EXECUTION
3.01 MEASURING MATERIALS
A. Concrete shall be composed of Portland cement, blast-furnace slag, fine aggregate,
coarse aggregate, water, and admixtures as specified and shall be produced by a plant
acceptable to the Owner. All constituents, including admixtures, shall be batched at the
plant except a high-range water reducer may also be added in the field.
B. Measure materials for batching concrete by weighing in conformity with and within the
tolerances given in ASTM C94 except as otherwise specified.
C. Measure the amount of free water in fine aggregates within 0.3 percent with a moisture
meter. Compensate for varying moisture contents of fine aggregates. Record the
number of gallons of water as batched on printed batching tickets.
D. Admixtures shall be dispensed either manually using calibrated containers or measuring
tanks, or by means of an automatic dispenser approved by the manufacturer of the
specific admixture.
1. Charge air-entraining and chemical admixtures into the mixer as a solution using an
automatic dispenser or similar metering device.
2. Inject multiple admixtures separately during the batching sequence.
3.02 MIXING AND TRANSPORTING
A. Concrete shall be ready-mixed concrete produced by equipment acceptable to the
Owner. Hand mixing will not be permitted. Equip each transit-mix truck with a
continuous, non-reversible, revolution counter showing the number of revolutions at

North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Cast-in-Place Concrete
C. The Owner must direct any addition of water. Added water shall be incorporated by
additional mixing of at least 35 revolutions. All added water shall be metered and the
amount of water added shall be shown on each delivery ticket.
D. Re-tempering (mixing with or without additional cement, aggregate, or water) of
concrete or mortar that has reached initial set will not be permitted.
E. Furnish a delivery ticket for ready-mixed concrete batch. Each ticket shall provide a
printed record of the weight of cement and each aggregate as batched individually.
Clearly indicate the weight of fine and coarse aggregate, cement and water in each batch,
the quantity delivered, and the time any water is added. Show the time of day batched
and time of discharge from the truck
F. Temperature control.
1. In cold weather, do not allow the as-mixed temperature of the concrete and
concrete temperatures at the time of placement in the forms to drop below 40
degrees F.
2. If water or aggregate has been heated, combine water with aggregate in the mixer
before cement is added. Do not add cement to mixtures of water and aggregate
when the temperature of the mixture is greater than 90 degrees F.
3. In hot weather, cool ingredients before mixing to maintain temperature of the
concrete below the maximum placing temperature of 90 degrees F. If necessary,
substitute well-crushed ice for all or part of the mixing water.
3.03 PLACING AND COMPACTING
A. Placing.
1. Verify that all formwork completely encloses concrete to be placed and is securely
braced prior to concrete placement. Remove ice, excess water, dirt, and other
foreign materials from forms. Confirm that reinforcement and other embedded
items are securely in place. Have a competent workman at the location of the
placement who can assure that reinforcing steel and embedded items remain in
designated locations while concrete is being placed. Sprinkle semi-porous sub-
grades or forms to eliminate suction of water from the mix. Seal extremely porous
sub-grades in an approved manner.
2. Deposit concrete as near its final position as possible to avoid segregation due to re-
handling or flowing. Place concrete continuously at a rate that ensures the concrete
is being integrated with fresh plastic concrete. Do not deposit concrete that has
partially hardened or has been contaminated by foreign materials or on concrete that
has hardened sufficiently to cause formation of seams or planes of weakness within
the section. If the section cannot be placed continuously, place construction joints
as specified or as approved.

03300-7
North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Cast-in-Place Concrete
3. Pumping of concrete will be permitted. Use a mix design and aggregate sizes
suitable for pumping.
4. Remove temporary spreaders from forms when the spreader is no longer useful.
Temporary spreaders may remain embedded in concrete only when made of
galvanized metal or concrete and if prior approval has been obtained.
5. Slabs.
a. After suitable bulkheads, screeds, and jointing materials have been positioned,
the concrete shall be placed continuously between construction joints
beginning at a bulkhead, edge form, or corner. Each batch shall be placed into
the edge of the previously placed concrete to avoid stone pockets and
segregation.
b. Avoid delays in casting. If there is a delay in casting, the concrete placed after
the delay shall be thoroughly spaded and consolidated at the edge of that
previously placed to avoid cold joints. Concrete shall then be brought to
correct level and struck off with a straightedge. Bullfloats or darbies shall be
used to smooth the surface, leaving it free of humps or hollows.
B. Compacting.
1. Consolidate concrete by vibration, puddling, spading, rodding, or forking so that
concrete is thoroughly worked around reinforcement, embedded items, and
openings, and into corners of forms. Puddling, spading, etc., shall be continuously
performed along with vibration to eliminate air or stone pockets that may cause
honeycombing, pitting, or planes of weakness.
3.04 CURING AND PROTECTION
A. Protect all concrete work against injury from the elements and defacements of any nature
during construction operations.
B. Curing methods.
1. Curing methods for concrete surfaces: Cure concrete to retain moisture and
maintain minimum temperature at the surface for a minimum of 2 days after
placement. Curing methods to be used are as follows:
a. Sheet material curing: Cover entire surface with sheet material. Securely
anchor sheeting to prevent wind and air from lifting the sheeting or entrapping
air under the sheet. Place and secure sheet as soon as initial concrete set
occurs.

03300-8
North Fork Rivanna River Water Main Repair Cast-in-Place Concrete
b. Liquid membrane curing: Apply over the entire concrete surface except for
surfaces to receive additional concrete. Curing compound shall NOT be placed
on any concrete surface where additional concrete is to be placed, or where
concrete sealers or surface coatings are to be used. Application shall be in
compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
C. Finished surfaces and slabs shall be protected from the direct rays of the sun to prevent
checking and crazing.
D. Cold weather concreting.
1. "Cold weather" is defined as a period when for more than 3 successive days, the
average daily outdoor temperature drops below 40 degrees F. The average daily
temperature shall be calculated as the average of the highest and the lowest
temperature during the period from midnight to midnight.
2. Discuss a cold weather work plan with the Owner. The discussion shall encompass
the methods and procedures proposed for use during cold weather including the
production, transportation, placement, protection, curing, and temperature
monitoring of the concrete. The procedures to be implemented upon abrupt changes
in weather conditions or equipment failures shall also be discussed. Cold weather
concreting shall not begin until the work plan is acceptable to the Owner.
E. Hot weather concreting.
1. "Hot weather" is defined as any combination of high air temperatures, low relative
humidity, and wind velocity that produces a rate of evaporation estimated in
accordance with ACI 305R, approaching or exceeding 0.2 lbs./sq.ft./hr.
2. Concrete placed during hot weather, shall be batched, delivered, placed, cured, and
protected in compliance with the recommendations of ACI 305R and the additional
requirement specified herein.
a. Temperature of concrete being placed shall not exceed 90 degrees F. Every
effort shall be made to maintain a uniform concrete mix temperature below this
level.
3. Discuss with the Owner a work plan describing the methods and procedures
proposed to use for concrete placement and curing during hot weather periods.
Hot weather concreting shall not begin until the work plan is acceptable to the
Owner.

3.05 INSPECTION AND FIELD TESTING
A. The batching, mixing, transporting, placing, and curing of concrete may be subject to the
observation and testing by the Owner at any time.
B. The Owner may have cores taken from any questionable area in the concrete work for
determination of concrete quality. The results of tests on such cores shall be the basis
for acceptance, or rejection of the concrete work. The costs for all testing to
demonstrate compliance with the Specifications shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor.
C. The Contractor shall cooperate in obtaining cores by allowing free access to the work
and permitting the use of incidental equipment as may be required. The Contractor shall
also repair all core holes. Cores for testing shall not be taken until concrete has aged a
minimum of 60 days.
D. Routine Testing — All cast-in-place concrete shall be tested at the Contractor's expense
and in accordance with the following requirements:
1. Slump: On each transit truck batch until measured slump is consistent with
specifications and every fourth transit truck batch thereafter. Perform additional
tests when concrete consistency appears to change.
2. Air Content: With each slump test.
3. Concrete Temperature: With each Slump and Air Content test.
4. Compression Test Specimens: Cast one set of four standard cylinder specimens for
each 50 cubic yards or fraction thereof, for each concrete mixture used.
Compression Test specimens shall be formed from composite samples taken in
accordance with ASTM C 172.
5. Compressive Strength Tests: Compressive strength tests shall be conducted on test
specimens in accordance with ASTM C 39. Test one set of two laboratory-cured
specimens at 7 days and one set of two specimens at 28 days. A compressive-
strength test shall be the average compressive strength from a set of two specimens
obtained from the same composite sample and tested at age indicated.
NOTE: Concrete not within the specified limits of slump, air content, and temperature
shall not be used in the work.
The strength of concrete will be considered satisfactory when the average compressive
strength test results equal or exceeds the specified compressive strength and no
individual strength test result falls below the specified compressive strength by more than
500 psi

3.06 FAILURE TO MEET REQUIREMENTS
A. When the tests on specimens of concrete fall below the specified strength, the Owner will
permit check tests for strengths to be made by means of typical cores drilled from the
structure in compliance with ASTM C42 and C39 at the Contractor's expense. In the
case of cores not indicating adequate strength, the Owner, in addition to other recourses,
may require, at the Contractor's expense, the replacement of those portions of the
concrete work that fail to develop the required strength.

Modified Mud Trap Notes:
1) Drainage Area = 2.6 Acres.
2) Wet Storage Area:
a) Depth =4 Feet
b) Side slopes= 2:1
3) Modified traps shall not be used in areas where rock or some other hard surface prevents the full and
uniform depth anchoring of the barrier.
4) An effort shall be made to locate the barrier at least 5 to 7 feet beyond the base of slopes with grades
greater than 7%.
5) Wire fence reinforcement for silt fence shall be a minimum of 14 gauge and shall have a maximum mesh
spacing of 6 inches.
6) The wire shall extend a minimum 4 inches into the ground and must be fastened securely to the upslope
side of the posts using heavy duty wire staples at least one inch long, tie wires or hog rings.
7) If wooden stakes are utilized for modified mud trap construction, they must have a minimum diameter of
3 inches when oak is used and 5 inches when pine is used. Wooden stakes must have a minimum
length of 5 feet.
8) If steel posts (standard "U" or"T" section) are utilized for the modified mud trap construction, they must
have a minimum weight of 1.33 pounds per linear foot and shall have a minimum length of 5 feet.
9) Support posts or stakes for this type of application shall be placed a Maximum 10-feet apart(see Plate
3.05-1)except within the wet storage area. The wet storage area shall have the posts or stakes placed
a Maximum 3-feet apart for added support.
10)Silt fence shall conform to the construction specifications for"extra strength"found in table 3.05-B and
shall be cut from a continuous roll to avoid joints.
11)The fabric shall be entrenched a minimum 8" in depth and back filled with clean soil. The soil shall be
compacted to 95 % over the filter fabric.
12)The height of the silt fence shall be a minimum of 34 inches above the original ground and shall not
exceed 48 inches above ground elevation.
13)The outlet for the modified mud trap shall consist of a stone section of the wire—supported silt fence
located at the low point or point of concentration for storm flows. For drainage areas from 1 to 3 acres,
the measure shall consist of the wire-supported silt fence installed with an opening from 4 to 8 feet wide
located in the low point or point of concentration for storm flows. The opening shall have a combination
of course aggregate and riprap installed to provide for filtering/detention as well as outlet stability. The
smaller stone shall be VDOT#3, #357 or#5 Course Aggregate (smaller stone sizes will enhance filter
efficiency) and riprap shall be "Class I." Filter cloth which meets the physical requirements noted in Std.
& Spec. 3.19, RIPRAP shall be placed at the stone-soil interface to act as a "Separator." The crest of
the stone outlet must be at least 1.0 foot below the top of the Wire-supported silt fence to ensure that the
flow will travel over the stone and not over the fence. The outlet shall be configured as noted in Plate
3.13-2.
14)Maintenance:
a) Silt fence shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged
rainfall. Any required repairs shall be made immediately.
b) Close attention shall be paid to the repair of damaged silt fence resulting from end runs and
undercutting.
c) Should the fabric on a silt fence decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected
usable life and the barrier is still necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly.
d) Sediment shall be removed and the trap restored to its original dimensions when the sediment has
accumulated to one half of the design volume of the wet storage or eminent failure is evident.
Sediment removal from the area shall be deposited in a suitable area and in such a manner that it
will not erode and cause sedimentation problems.
e) Stone shall be regularly checked to ensure that filtration performance is maintained. Stone choked
with sediment shall be removed and cleaned or replaced.
f) The structure shall be checked regularly to ensure that it is structurally sound and has not been
damaged by erosion or construction equipment. The height of the stone outlet shall be checked to
ensure that its center is at least 1 foot below the top of the fence.
g) Temporary structures shall be removed when they have served their useful purpose, but not before
upslope area has been permanently stabilized.
