Compaction of the backfill should be attained using vibratory, non-vibratory"or mechanical rammer-type compactors. The type of compactor is dependent on the type of backfill material used. Precautionary measures should be taken to assure that the compaction equipment will not damage the underlying pipe. (4) Backfilling shall not ~ake place at any time unless approved compaction, equipment is available at the site. Ledge rock, boulders and large stones' shall be removed to provide a clearance of at least six inches below outside barrel of the pipe, or fittings, and to a clear width of six inches on each side of all pipe and appurtenances for pipe 16 inches or less in diameter: for pipes larger than 16 inches, a'clearance of'9 inches below and clear width of 9 inches on each side of inside diameter of pipe shall be provided. Adequate clearance for properly jointing pipe laid in rock trenches shall be provided at bell holes. Excavations below subgrade in rock or in boulders shall.be refilled'to ~ubgrade with material approved by the ENGINEER or his representativa and thoroughly oompacted. Where trenoh excavation is encountered which is unsuitable for backfill, such material shall be replaced with granular backfill to be suppliect by the CONTRACTOR at the direction 'of the ENGINEER. Where pipes are of sufficient size to create an excess of backfill material, the excess shall be hauled to a location if directed by the ENGINEER and this location shall not be beyond the Roseville City limits. Haulin~ and grading of the excess backfill will be considered incidental to the project. . Any deficiency in the quantity of 1I\aterial for backfilling the trenches or for filling depressions caused by settlement shall be supplied by the CONTRACTOR With no extra compensation allowed. Any settlement whioh oocurs within one year after final acceptance shall be refilled by the CO~RACTOR with material supplied at the CONTRACTOR's expense and with material approved by the ENGINEER. Backfill in trenches on streets shall be placed to an elevation that will permit the placement of base material and surfacing material. . 603.300 Testing " 'All testing of materials and densities in this section as directed by the BNGINEERshall be taken by the ENGINEER or an
