GENERAL NOTES
A. GROUND SURFACE OR SUBGRADE SURFACE
(BENEATH CUT SECTION) SUPPORT/PROTECTION SYSTEM: DESIGN AS NECESSARY WITH

SEE CHAP. 8, APP. A, OF THE HIGHWAY DESIGN MANUAL FOR MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE HEIGHT OF COVER. WHERE DESIGN INFORMATION INDICATES UNSUITABLE MATERIAL EXISTS AT OR BELOW THE INVERT ELEVATION, SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES AND CONSTRUCTION TREATMENTS BASED ON SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS ARE NECESSARY.

B. GROUND SURFACE SEE NOTE 1.A.

SUFFICIENT DEPTH TO STABILIZE TRENCH BOTTOM

SEE NOTE 1.A. SUITABLE MATERIAL. SEE NOTE 4.A. C. WHERE UNSUITABLE MATERIAL, NOT ANTICIPATED DURING DESIGN, IS ENCOUNTERED AT OR BELOW INVERT ELEVATION, CONSULT WITH THE REGIONAL GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER FOR TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE BEDDING CONTROL LINE (BCL) IS A HORIZONTAL LINE LOCATED BELOW THE INVERT WHICH

REPRESENTS THE BOTTOM ELEVATION FOR BEDDING MATERIAL PLACEMENT AND THE TOP ELEVATION OF UNDERCUT BACKFILL WHERE REQUIRED. THE BCL IS ALSO USED FOR QUANTITY PAYMENT PURPOSES FOR "TRENCH AND CULVERT EXCAVATION" ITEMS, BEDDING MATERIAL PLACEMENT, AND
UNDERCUT MATERIAL PLACEMENT. THE LOCATION OF THE BCL AND THE ACTUAL BEDDING THICKNESS

2. EXCAVATION NOTES
A. WHERE A GENERAL EXCAVATION OF UNSUITABLE OR UNSTABLE MATERIAL IS REQUIRED TO EXTEND BEYOND THE LATERAL AND DEPTH LIMITS INDICATED FOR METHOD A-1 OR A-2, THE EXCAVATION WITHIN THE LIMITS SHOWN WILL BE PAID AS "UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL" AND THIS QUANTITY WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE RESPECTIVE CONTRACT QUANTITIES FOR "TRENCH AND CULVERT EXCAVATION-OG" OR "TRENCH AND CULVERT EXCAVATION". INSTALL THE CULVERT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH DETAILS FOR METHOD B-1 OR B-2 AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS.

3. BEDDING NOTES
A. USE THE BEDDING THICKNESS TABLE TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE BEDDING CONTROL LINE (BCL) AND THE MINIMUM BEDDING THICKNESS FOR THE GIVEN PIPE SIZE. COMPUTE THE ACTUAL BEDDING THICKNESS AS THE DISTANCE FROM INVERT TO BCL MINUS THE PIPE WALL THICKNESS.

TOP OF EMBANKMENT SEE NOTE 1.A. B. TO ESTABLISH STABLE BEDDING CONDITIONS, AN UNDERCUT BACKFILLED WITH SELECT GRANULAR FILL MATERIAL MAY BE ORDERED BY THE ENGINEER. THE MINIMUM DEPTH OF UNDERCUT AS MEASURED FROM THE BCL IS 300 mm AND THE MAXIMUM IS 600 mm.
