a.Stone Fill and Stone Blanket Material for stone fill shall be deposited to provide a compact mass. The exposed slope shall be finished to the line and grade required without special handling or handwork. Material for stone blank et shall be deposited for protection around piers or abutments as shown on the plans. Th e stones shall be placed individually to form a reasonably compact mass. Spaces between the larger stones shall be filled with stone or spall of suitable size to leave an even surface conforming to the contour required. Stone fill and stone blanket shall be placed on the slope in a well-knit, compact and uniform layer. The surface stones shall be chinked with smaller stone from the same source.

Plain riprap shall be placed f ull depth in one operation without special handwork and shall be placed approximately true to the required slope line and grade and be uniform in appearance. Hand laid riprap shall be random rubble, hand laid stones for the full depth placed in one operation to secure interlocking of all face stones and stones placed as backing. Larger stones shall be laid at the base of the slope. The stones shall be lai d in close contact with the long er axis perpendicular to the plane of the slope to stagger joints. Except when required to be grouted the openings between the stones in all riprap shall be filled with spall, or rocks securely rammed into place.
