IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation: If adverse effects occur, remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not
breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel.
If respiration or pulse has stopped, have a trained person administer Basic Life Support
(Cardio -Pulmonary Resuscitation/ Autmotic Dfribillator) and GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Skin: Immediately flush contaminated areas with plenty of water. Remove contaminted
clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Wash contaminated areas with soap and water.
Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting the lower and upper lids
occasionally. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. Contact lenses should
not be worn when working with this chemical.
Section V - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Nonflammable
Lower Explosive Limit: N/A
Autoignition Temperature: N/A
Upper Explosive Limit: N/A
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Heat and acid contamination will produce
irritating and toxic fumes. May decompose, generating irritating chlorine gas.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear NIOSH approved positive -pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus. Move container from fire area if it can be done without
risk. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out
of low areas.
Section VI - Accidental Release Measures
[Spills may need to be reported to the National Response Center (8001424-8802)
DOT Reportable Quantity (RQ) is 100 pounds Ventilate the area of the spill or leak.
For large spills, evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate
protective clothing. Dike and contain. Neutralize with sodium sulfite, bisulfite or
thiosulfite. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage vessels. Soak up residue with
an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material; place in non -leaking containers
for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue; dispose of flush
solutions as above. For small spills, take up with an absorbent material and place in non -
leaking containers; seal tightly for proper disposal. This material is alkaline and may raise
the pH of surface waters with low buffering capacity.
Section VII - Handling and Storage
rat, grq xotex.v.wal WORM.
Store in vented, closed, clean non -corrosive containers in a cool, dry location away from
direct sunlight and not adjacent to chemicals which may react with the bleach if spillage
occurs. If closed containers become heated, the containers should be vented to release
decomposition products (mainly oxygen under normal decomposition). Do not mix or
contaminate with ammonia, hydrocarbons, acids, alcohols or ethers.
Sodium Hypochlorite

Section VIII - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal use conditions. In the case of a fire
use self-contained breathing apparatus. A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust,
fume, mist) filters may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or when symptoms have been
observed that are indicative of overexposure.
When decomposition products exist, acid gas cartridges are also required.
A half -piece air -purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up to 10X the
acceptable exposure level and a full facepiece air -purifying respirator may be used in
concentrations up to 50X the acceptable exposure level.
Supplied air should be used when the level is expected to above 50X the acceptable level,
or when there is a potential for uncontrolled release.
A respiratory program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant use of a respirator.
Ventilation: No special ventilation is required unless bleach is exposed to decomposition
conditions, i.e. heat or acidic conditions.
Protective Clothing: Avoid contact with the eyes. Wear chemical goggles and/or face
shield if there is the likelihood of contact with the eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated
contact with the skin. Wear chemical -resistant gloves and other clothing as required to
minimize contact.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Safety showers and eyewash fountains
should be available in storage and handling areas.
Work/Hygienic Practices: All employees who handle sodium hypochlorite should wash
their hands before eating, smoking, or using the toilet facilities.

etc. Should unanticipated rock conditions be encountered, immediately notify the
Engineer. If in the opinion of the Engineer, rock excavation is required and the
Contractor has in fact made a diligent and determined effort to remove the material
using normal excavation procedures as stated above, and the Contractor could not
have reasonably been expected to determine the existence of such material during
his site investigation, then a contract price for rock excavation shall be negotiated
between the Contractor and the Owner. No payment shall be made for excavation
performed prior to determination of a negotiated price.
Trenching, Backfilling, and Compaction 02221-5

Water Transmission and Distribution Lines 02555-11
Furnish the following equipment and material for the tests:
Amount Description
2 Approved graduated containers
2 Pressure gauges
1 Hydraulic force pump approved by the Engineer
1 Additional 1/2 inch pressure tap for Engineer's test
gauge
Suitable hose and suction pipe as required
Conduct the tests after the trench has been partially backfilled with the joints left exposed for
inspection, or when completely backfilled, as permitted by the Engineer. Where any section of
pipe is provided with concrete reaction blocking, do not make the pressure test until at least 5 days
have elapsed after the concrete thrust blocking is installed. If high -early cement is used for the
concrete thrust blocking, the time may be cut to 2 days.
Conduct pressure test in the following manner, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer after
the trench has been backfilled or partially backfilled as hereinbefore specified, fill the pipe with
water, expelling all air during the filling. The test pressure shall be 1% times normal working
pressure at the point of lowest elevation of the test gauge.
A. Duration
1. The duration of each pressure test shall be 2 hours, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer.
B. Procedure
1. Slowly fill the pipe with water and allow to stand for 24 hours. Expel all air
from the pipe. Allow and maintain the specified test pressure by continuous
pumping if necessary for the entire test period. The test pressure shall be
calculated for the point of lowest elevation, or as specified by the Engineer.
The pump suction shall be in a barrel or similar device, or metered so that
the amount of water required to maintain the test pressure may be
measured accurately.
2. Before the line is pressurized, the Engineer shall verify that all necessary
main line valves are open or closed with regard to the section of line being
tested. In addition, the Engineer shall verify that all hydrant valves are
open.
C. Leakage
1. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water necessary to hold the
specified test pressure for the duration of the test period. No pipe
installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater than the number of
gallons per hour as determined by the following formula:
Water Transmission and Distribution Lines 02555-12
Np
L s
7400
In the above formula:
L=
N=
D=
P=
Allowable leakage, in gallons per hour
Number of joints in the length of pipe tested
Nominal diameter of pipe, in inches
Average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per square
inch gauge.
D. The pressure testing of water service lines shall follow the same procedure as
outlined in the section. In all cases, however, the corporation stop, service line and
curb stop shall be visually inspected under full test pressure and any leaks fixed.
E. Correction of Excessive Leakage
1. Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that allowed,
locate and repair the defective joints or pipe until the leakage of a
subsequent test is within the specified allowance.
5.00 DISINFECTION OF POTABLE WATERLINES
5.01 General Flush and disinfect potable waterlines in accordance with the procedure set forth
in AWWA C651, latest edition, Disinfecting Water Mains.
Provide all temporary blow -offs, pumps, chlorination equipment, chlorine and all other necessary
apparatus required.
5.02 Pipe Cleaning If the pipe contains dirt or heavy encrusted matter that, in the opinion of the
Engineer, will not be removed during the flushing operation, the Contractor shall clean and swab
the interior of the pipe with a five percent (50,000 ppm) chlorine solution.
A. Preliminary Flushing. Flush pipeline prior to disinfection, except when the tablet
method is used, to remove all remaining foreign material. The flushing operation
shall develop a minimum velocity of 2.5 ft./sec.
5.03 Chlorine Application In general, chlorine shall be applied using the continuous feed
method. However, on large diameter lines where this would not be practical, the slug method may
be used. The tablet method may be used on short extensions (up to 2500 feet) of small diameter
mains (12 inches and smaller).
A. Continuous Feed Method. introduce water into the line at a constant rate while
adding chlorine at a minimum concentration of 50 mg/l. Maintain the chlorinated
water in the pipeline for a minimum of 24 hours after which period the treated water
shall contain no less than 10 mg/l of chlorine throughout the entire length.
Water Transmission and Distribution Lines 02555-13
B. Slug Method. Introduce water with a minimum chlorine concentration of 100 mgll
at a constant measured rate into the pipeline. Apply column or slug of chlorinated
water that will, as it passes along the line, expose all interior surfaces for a period
of three hours. Check the application at the upstream end of the line.
C. Tablet Method. This method shall not be used if trench water or foreign material
has entered the line or if the water is below 5°C (41°F). Because preliminary
flushing cannot be used, this method shall only be used when scrupulous
cleanliness has been exercised.
Place tablets in each section of pipe in sufficient number to produce a dose of 25
mg/I. Refer to Table 2 of AWWA C651, latest edition, for the required minimum
number of tablets. All tablets within the main must be attached at the top of the
pipe. Introduce water into the pipeline at a rate no greater than 1 ft./sec. and retain
the water in the pipeline for a period of 24 hours after which period the treated
water shall show a detectable chlorine residual at each sampling point.
5.04 Final Flushing After the applicable retention period, heavy chlorinated water should not
remain in prolonged contact with pipe. In order to prevent damage to the pipe lining or to prevent
corrosion damage to the pipe itself, the heavily chlorinated water shall be flushed from the main
fittings, valves, and branches until chlorine measurements show that the concentration in the
water leaving the main is no higher than that generally prevailing in the distribution system or that
is acceptable for domestic use.
The environment to which the chlorinated water is to be discharged shall be inspected. If there is
any possibility that the chlorinated discharge will cause damage to the environment, then a
neutralizing chemical shall be applied to the water to be wasted to neutralize thoroughly the
residual chlorine.
5.05 c . - '...' - Standard conditions. After final flushing and before the new water
main is connected to the distribution system, two consecutive sets of acceptable samples, taken at
least 24 hours apart, shall be collected from the new main. At least one set of samples shall be
collected from every 1200 feet of the new water main, plus one set from the end of the line and at
least one set from each branch. A minimum of two sampling points are required for any segment
over 500 feet in length. All samples shall be tested for bacteriological (chemical and physical)
quality in accordance with Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, and
shall show absence of coliform organisms.
Collect samples in sterile bottles from sampling points furnished and installed by the Contractor in
the main.
5.06 Final Cnnnectio to Existing_Mains When connections to existing mains are made
without a new valve at the connection point, new water main and appurtenances shall be installed,
flushed, disinfected and satisfactory bacteriological sample results received prior to permanent
connections being made to the active, existing system.
Water Transmission and Distribution Lines 02555-14
Final connections or those portions of the new system installed that have not been disinfected as
part of a previous disinfection procedure, shall be disinfected in accordance with Section 4.6 of
C651.

Spring Seeding
Fall Seeding
Spring thaw to July lst Oct. 15th until consistent ground freeze
(a)
"Spring thaw" shall be defined as the earliest date in a new calendar year in which
seed can be buried 1/2 -inch into the surface soil (topsoil) through normal drill
seeding methods.
(b) "Consistent ground freeze" shall be defined as that time during the fall months in
which the surface soil (topsoil) due to freeze conditions, prevents burying the seed
1/2 -inch through normal drill seeding operations. At no time shall seed be sown,
drilled or otherwise planted when the surface soil or topsoil is in a frozen or crusted
state.
(c)
(d)
Seeding at any time other than within the above seasons shall be allowed only
when the Contractor submits a written request for permission to do so and
permission is granted. In the request, the Contractor must agree to apply the
specified seed at a rate of not less than 25 percent greater per unit area than the
rates specified for use within the seeding season. The additional materials shall be
furnished and placed at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor must also agree
to reseed, re -mulch and repair any areas seeded out -of -season which fail to wind,
erosion, lack of germination and/or disturbance by the Contractor.
Where out -of -season seeding is ordered, the cost of additional material if required
will be paid for, and in this event, the Contractor will not be held responsible for
damage or failure beyond his control due to out -of -season seeding.
3.02 Topsoil Excavation. Remove all sod, topsoil, organic earth, stockpile topsoil as designated
on Drawings or as directed by Engineer.
3.03
A.
General: When job site has been shaped and ready for placement of topsoil, cover
all cut -fill areas and construction scars with topsoil to depth of 6". Contour all
surfaces to approximate grade and blend with existing adjacent terrain in
accordance with detail drawings.

B. Slope Rounding: Round top and bottom of slopes and feather into undisturbed
natural terrain. Avoid abrupt grade changes, making smooth transitions from
slopes to more level areas.
C. Slope Molding: Avoid long continuous slope faces by molding face of slope to
accent existing adjacent terrain. Steepened slope faces near ridges and bluffs, laid
back to link to natural draws, creating an undulating face.
D. Surface Roughing: Gouge slope surfaces of 2:1 or steeper with horizontal ridges
and trenches to depth of 6" minimum, creating roughened surface to lessen
erosion, improve moisture percolation and soil layer binding. Trenches or ridges
shall not be longer than 30' to prevent water accumulation and flowing water to

any time and have a laboratory test the samples for chemical and saline
content. The Contractor shall not use any water from any source, which is
determined to be unsuitable by the Engineer following such tests.
All mixtures shall be constantly agitated from the time they are mixed until
they are finally applied to the seedbed. All such mixtures shall be used
within 2 hours from the time they were mixed or they shall be wasted and
disposed of at locations acceptable to the Engineer.
Mixtures of seed and fertilizer shall only be sprayed upon previously
prepared seedbeds. The mixture shall be applied by means of a high-
pressure spray which shall always be directed upward into the air so that
the mixtures will fall to the ground like rain in a uniform spray. Nozzles or
sprays shall never be directed toward the ground in such a manner as
might produce erosion or runoff.
Particular care shall be exercised to ensure that the application is made
uniformly and at the prescribed rate and to guard against misses and
overlapped areas. Proper predetermined quantities of the mixture in
accordance with Specifications shall be used to cover specified sections of
