I If the Engineer determines the material existing in the trench bottom is satisfactory for bedding the pipe, then the bedding material specified in the COE Standard Drawing 615 is not required, provided the existing material is loosened, regraded, and compacted to I form a dense, unyielding base. Supplement 7-08.3(1) by adding the following: 7-08.3(1)D Trench Dewatering I (******) This section specifies the definition, responsibilities and execution for dewatering associated with trench excavation for pipes, manholes, catch basins, cleanouts, side sewers and other I buried utility work. Implement trench dewatering measures where necessary or directed by the Engineer. Implementation shall include, but not be limited to, the design, furnishing, installation, operation, maintenance, monitoring, reporting and removal of dewatering I systems to achieve proper completion of Work performed under this Contract. Prevent the flow of surface water runoff into the trench excavation. Control surface water and other erosion control measures associated the Work in accordance with 8-01 of the I Standard Specifications and modified in these Special Provisions. Maintain groundwater level at or below the bottom of the excavation in all Work areas during excavation, foundation preparation, pipe and structure installation and backfilling. Trench 1 dewatering shall sufficiently control groundwater to prevent softening of the bottom of the excavations or formation of"quick"conditions or"boils"during excavation. Use gravel or non- moisture sensitive trench backfill in areas encountering groundwater. If foundation soils are disturbed or oversaturated with water, then over excavate and replace the affected areas with suitable fill at no additional cost to the Owner. Upon completion of dewatering operations, restore the normal water table to its natural level in such a manner as to not disturb the pipe, its foundation and structures. Contractor shall be solely responsible to I control the rate and effect of the dewatering in a manner to avoid all objectionable settlement and subsidence. Direct discharge flow from trench dewatering to a nearby sewer or storm drain system unless I otherwise directed by the Engineer. Obtain, at no cost, a Discharge Authorization Permit from the City prior to discharging trench dewatering flows into the City sewer or storm drain system. Control groundwater by trench dewatering systems designed and operated to I minimize turbidity of the discharged flow and to prevent removal of the natural soils or imported fill.
