from the trenching operation. Use Select Borrow whenever additional backfill material is needed. 2025 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS 2025 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS Backfill in two layers, with the first layer being placed simultaneously with the drain, holding the drain flush against the side of the pavement.
