ii. Be placed so that their length within the right-of-way is minimized. <br />2. Meter boxes shall be set at the inside edge of the right-of-way line, but not within <br />curb ramps. Where a utility easement exists adjacent and parallel to the right- <br />of-way, meter boxes shall be placed in the utility easement. <br />3. Septic tank effluent lines shall: <br />i. Have a minimum inside diameter of 2 inches. <br />ii. Be encased in cast or ductile iron pipe. <br />iii. Be placed with a minimum of 4 feet of cover from the lowest roadside <br />feature (i.e. bottom of ditch), within 10 degrees of deflection from a <br />perpendicular line to road centerline and shall extend to outside the right- <br />of-way line. Private easements shall be used for installation parallel to the <br />right-of-way line. <br />iv. Be jacked or bored under the roadway unless otherwise approved by the <br />Engineer. <br />v. Not exceed a length within the right-of-way of 60 feet or the minimum <br />width of the existing right-of-way, whichever is larger. <br />G. Appurtenances <br />1. Vents may be required for casings, tunnels and galleries enclosing carriers of <br />fluids or gases in accordance with federal, state or local standards. Vent <br />standpipes shall be located as close to the right-of-way line as possible to <br />minimize interference with road operation and maintenance, and shall not be <br />concealed by vegetation. <br />2. Drains may be required for casings, tunnels or galleries enclosing carriers of fluids <br />or gases in accordance with federal, state or local standards. Drains for carriers <br />of hazardous materials shall be directed to artificial holding areas to prevent <br />possible surface or groundwater contamination. Drains for which only water or <br />other non -hazardous liquids may discharge may be directed into roadway <br />drainage systems at locations approved by the Engineer. The drainage outfall <br />shall not be used as a waste way for routine purging of the carrier pipe unless <br />specifically authorized by the Engineer. <br />3. Manholes shall be designed and located in a manner that will cause the least <br />interference to other utilities or future road expansion. Where practicable, <br />installations in the pavement or shoulders shall be avoided. <br />8-05 UNDERGROUND UTILITY INSTALLATION <br />See Standard Drawings 8-030, 8-040 <br />A. General <br />1. The WSDOT/APWA Standard Specifications, particularly Sections 5-04, 7-08.3(3) <br />and 9-01 through 9-03, shall apply unless otherwise stated below. Applicable <br />federal and state regulations regarding trench safety shall be met. <br />2. Pavement cuts shall not be allowed in roads that have been constructed, <br />reconstructed, or resurfaced with either an asphalt overlay (HMA Class 1/2-inch) <br />8-4 Engineering Design and Development Standards <br />September 17, 2021 <br />
