Trench compaction shall conform to the requirements in Section 19, “Trench Excavation,

Bedding and Backfill”, of these Specifications. Where asphalt surfacing exists, the surface

restoration shall be a minimum of four inches (4”) of aggregate base and two inches (2”) of

asphalt concrete, but in no case shall the thickness of either the asphalt or the thickness of the

aggregate base be less than the thickness of the corresponding portions of the existing private

road. Aggregate base and asphalt concrete shall be as specified in Section 14-3, “Streets and

Parking Lots”, in this Section of these Specifications. Where gravel, stone, or crushed rock

surfacing exists, surface restoration shall consist of a minimum of four inches (4”) of aggregate

base, but in no case shall the thickness of the aggregate base be less than the thickness of the

existing surface of the private road. The remaining gravel or stone roadway shall be reshaped

to preconstruction cross section and given an application of a minimum of two inches (2”) of

three-quarter inch (3/4”) maximum size gravel or crushed rock compacted into place. The

wet, loose, or otherwise unsuitable for supporting the new paving shall be removed, to a

maximum of twelve inches (12”), and replaced with aggregate base material and compacted in

layers not exceeding six inches (6”) in depth to a minimum relative compaction of ninety-five

percent (95%). If unsuitable material is evident, see Section 18-5, “Unsuitable Material
