- 696 - SECTION 817 -- SLOPE TRACKING
817.01 Description
1.Slope tracking consists of placing cleat marks on a slope parallel to the contours to minimize erosion as show n in the contract or identified by the Engineer.
817.02 Construction Methods
1.Slope tracking shall be accomplished by the walking of tracked equipment perpendicular to the contour of a slope (not parallel to the contours of a slope) over an erodible area.
2.Slope tracking is performed using equipment pr opelled by tracks with parallel cleats at least 1-1/2 inch high.
817.03 Method of Measurement
1.Slope Tracking will be measured by the Square Yard (Square Meter) of roughened area.
817.04 Basis of Payment
1.P a y I t e m P a y U n i t Slope Tracking Square Yard (SY) {Square Meter (SM)}
2.Payment is full compensation for all work described in this Section. - 697 - SECTION 818 -- SOIL ROUGHENING
818.01 Description
1.This work consists of rough ening exposed soil as an erosion control measure. This work shall be perform ed along slope contours or across ditch bottoms as shown in the contract or as directed by the Engineer.
818.02 Construction Methods
1.This work shall consist of using a field cultivator or disk to produce parallel roughened strips on the contour s of slopes or across ditch bottoms. The roughened strips shall be a minimum of 8 feet (2.5 m) wide and a minimum depth of 3 inches (75 mm) and placed as directed by the Engineer.
2.This work shall be initiated when the finish grade is established for any location designated in the contract for soil roughening.
3.Soil roughening may be used when work stops for a period of time after locations have been rough graded.
818.03 Method of Measurement
1.The work of soil roughening will be measured by the Linear Foot (Meter) for the length of each pass as described.
818.04 Basis of Payment
1.P a y I t e m P a y U n i t Soil Roughening Li near Foot (LF) {Meter (m)}
2.Payment is full compensation for all work described in this Section.
