SECTION E

Orange County Sewer District No. 1 Sewer Connection Priority Procedure (Effective Date 4/17/01)

P:\OCSD1 2006 Rules, Regs and Docs\Policies\Priority Procedure.doc Effective 4/17/01 Page 1 of 9


SEWER CONNECTION PRIORITY PROCEDURE

Background. On June 15, 2000 the County of Orange and Orange County Sewer District No. 1

(“OCSD”) entered into an agreement with the Village of Kiryas Joel (“Village”) by

which OCSD agreed to operate and maintain a wastewater treatment plant owned by the

Village. As a result of this agreement additional wastewater treatment capacity is being

made available by OCSD for properties within OCSD. Because this capacity is limited, it

is necessary to prioritize allocation of this capacity

In addition, Orange County currently is proceeding with an enhancement of the Harriman

Wastewater Treatment Plant, which will increase the plant’s capacity to 6.0 million

gallons per day (mgd) from its present limit of 4.5 mgd. It is anticipated that the

enhancement will be completed within the next two to three years. While this additional

capacity will satisfy significant treatment capacity demand within the service area of the

Harriman plant, this capacity is, of course, finite. Therefore, this priority procedure will

apply to the new capacity generated by the enhanced Harriman plant as well.

Priority Procedure.

I. Revocation of existing permits

All persons covered by this procedure are required to apply for sewer permits in

accordance with the permit procedure in effect as of the effective date of this priority


procedure. Copies of the permit procedure are available from the Administrative Head of

Orange County Sewer District No. 1. All applicants for sewer permits who are covered

by this procedure and who are holding permits previously issued for connection or

construction of sewer laterals or sewer mains shall surrender all such permits with their

application for sewer permits. All such previously issued permits are revoked and are null

and void. Any permit and administrative fees paid in connection with previously issued

permits will be applied as a credit to the administrative fee for new permits:

II “A” Priorities. The following classifications of properties have been identified as

having first priority for connections to the Orange County Sewer District:

Classification: Description A-1 Septic failures. These are existing buildings with access to an

existing sewer main connected to private, on-site septic systems in

failure, posing an immediate threat to health and the environment

Applications for such connections shall comply with existing

procedures and requirements applicable to septic systems in

failure.

A-2 Existing buildings upon which operation and maintenance charges

(“O&M”) are being paid, and property owners who were made

exempt front paying O&M or penalties by the enactment of Local

Law No. 8 of 1999. Applications for connections shall be in

compliance with the procedure set forth below.

A-3 A) Owners of vacant lots paying O&M for such tots, or B)vacant

building lots located within, and part of a developed subdivision,


within with developed lots are connected to public sewer. Permits

for such lots are limited to two units per lot for residential use and

four units per lot for commercial use, but in no event more than

four units.

Permits will be issued only for lots described in A and B above,

and that are approved lots as of the effective date of this procedure.

A-4 Economic or other hardship (limited to six living units or less per

applicant for residential; twelve living units or less per applicant

for commercial/retail) and in no event more than a total of twelve

units.

Priority “A-1” properties will be determined in accordance with existing

procedures.

For priority “A-2” properties (developed and paying 08cM) completed

applications for connections must be submitted within 30 days of the receipt of a notice

of available capacity. An additional period of time, not to exceed 12 months may be

allowed in which time the above connections must be completed The permit will state -

that it expires after the end of such period and that the connection priority will be

extinguished and all rights to connect will be waived unless capacity remains available, in

which case the owner may reapply. Up to two (2) 90-day extensions of the permit may be

granted for good cause shown.

For “A-3” properties (vacant lots paying O&M and vacant building lots within

developed subdivisions with a 2 unit limit for residential and a 4 unit limit for


commercial/retail) completed applications for connections must be submitted within 60

days from the effective date of this procedure and connections made within twelve

months after an application is approved. Up to two (2) ninety-day extensions to the

twelve-month deadline may be requested and granted for good cause shown.

For “A-4” (hardship) priorities, the following criteria will apply:

a. the amount of capacity requested;

b. whether the hardship was self-imposed or self- created

c. whether the hardship can be mitigated

d. the extent to which the hardship was caused by circumstances wholly beyond the

control of the applicant

e. the nature of the hardship and the financial impact on the applicant

f. whether wastewater disposal can be achieved by some method feasible for the

applicant to pursue, other than a connection to the sewer system;

g. the extent to which there is available capacity and existing demand for capacity

h. whether the hardship is substantiated by documentation or other verifiable means.

Whether to grant a hardship permit shall be within the sole discretion of the

Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Facilities, as Administrative Head of

of OCSD, or his Deputy Commissioner. The Commissioner or his Deputy, in granting a

hardship permit. may permit the minimum capacity that it shall deem necessary and

adequate.

III. Other properties.


A. General policies. Capacity for all other development that does not have an “A” priority or that does

not exercise that priority will be considered on a first-come, first-connect basis. No

application will be accepted without a building permit in the Case of single-lot

development, or final planning board site plan or subdivision approval where applicable,

or conditional approval where final approval is contingent only upon approved sewer. In

cases where a building permit cannot be obtained without a sewer permit, and all other

prerequisites to obtaining a building permit have been satisfied, a letter from the

municipal building inspector to that effect is to be provided to with the application for a

sewer permit.

Except as may otherwise be provided herein, no applicant may apply for more

than 20,000 gpd or 50 living units in any 12-month period.

Except as otherwise may be provided herein. for all applicants, main line.

construction must be commenced within six months after the main line is issued,

and completed within eighteen months after the permit is issued or the permit will expire.

Documentation of commencement and completion must be submitted to OCSD within

the applicable deadlines or the permit will expire. Up to two (2) three-month extensions

may be ranted for good cause shown. Lateral connections must be completed within six

months after a lateral connection permit is issued and permits will expire at the end of

that time. Up to two (2) three-month extensions may be granted for good cause shown.

The applicant and the owner, if different than the applicant, will release and hold


harmless the County from any liability arising out an inability to make a connection

because of an expired permit.

B. Priority criteria. In determining priorities among those properties that quality under the general

policies, above, the following factors are to be considered:

a. whether the owner will install sewer mains at its expense;

b. whether the developer is willing to construct lines that will serve other properties;

c. whether the owner has reasonable available alternatives to public sewer connection;

d. whether the owner is paying Type I and I capital;

e. the size of the project;

f. whether the developer willing to modify, reduce or phase development until capacity

from the Harriman enhancement comes on line;

g. public service projects providing a necessary service or unique utility or benefit to

community or county; (ie. senior housing, medical care facilities/clinics). Generally no

more than 50 units (20,000 gallons).

h. the projection for additional development sharing the main line used to service the

project.

i. whether a formal, pre-existing written contract or agreement exists between an owner

and OCSD No.1 to provide sewer service to a property.

The Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner shall give such weight to these

factors as he, in his discretion, deems appropriate in individual cases. Nothing in this


procedure shall limit or impair the County Attorney’s authority to resolve litigation

arising out of any alleged failure or refusal to provide sewer service, or to limit or impair

the authority of the County and OCSD No. 1 to enter into contracts for the provision of

sewer capacity or to meet contractual or other legal obligations, if any, to provide sewer

capacity.

IV. Priority as related to extension of the service area. There are significant areas within the Sewer District that cannot be serviced

because sewer mains have not been extended to these areas.

Except for the “Priority A” properties, properties within the current service area

will have priority over other properties. The next priority will be extended to properties

within an extended service area in accordance with a capital plan for the extension of the

service area, as set forth in Schedule “A”. Additional extensions of the service area will

be developed by OCSD No. 1 on an annual basis and connection priority will be based on

the proposed service area extensions. Properties not located within an existing or planned

service area will be considered for connection, in accordance with the factors “a” through

“g” above, and in addition upon the condition that the owner install, at its expense, sewer

main lines meeting the requirements of OCSD No.1 including such standards for

downstream hydraulic performance carrying capacity sufficient to serve any existing and

planned development to be serviced by that line.

Imposition of conditions. The sewer district may impose such reasonable

conditions and restrictions as are directly related and incidental to the proposed sewer

use. Such conditions shall be consistent with the spirit and intent of the sewer law, and


shall be imposed for the purpose of minimizing any adverse impact such permit may

otherwise have.

Appeal of determinations. An adverse determination from an application for a sewer

permit on the basis that the applicant does not fall within any of the priority categories

may be appealed to the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Facilities by

requesting a meeting in writing within 14 calendar days after a final determination is

received by the applicant. A meeting will be scheduled within a reasonable time after the

request for one is received. At the meeting the applicant may present such documentation

or other evidence as the applicant may deem relevant. The only issue to be heard is

whether the applicant falls within one of the priority classifications. A written

determination shall be issued within 21 days after the meeting. In lieu of a meeting, the

applicant may submit with the request for an appeal such documentation as the applicant

deems relevant to the issues raised on appeal.

A) Prohibited Construction Procedures The following construction procedures shall be prohibited,

and the contractor should be aware that he must not plan on using any method or methods of construction that will cause temporary or permanent damage to the environment.

1. Dumping of spoil material into any stream corridor,

any wetlands, any surface water, or at locations not approved by the Project Engineer.

2. Indiscriminate, arbitrary or capricious operation of

equipment in any stream corridors, or any wetlands. 3. Dumping of silt-laden water from trenches or other

excavations into any surface waters, any stream corridors, or any wetlands.

4. Damaging vegetation adjacent to or outside of access

roads, right-of-ways, or property owned by the Owner. ALL CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS MUST BE CONFINED TO WITHIN SPECIFIED EASEMENT WIDTHS OR PROPERTY OWNED BY THE OWNER.

5. Disposal of trees, brush, and other debris in any

stream corridors, any wetlands, any surface waters, or at locations not approved by the Project Engineer.

6. Permanent or unspecified alteration of the flow line or

alignment of streams or any water courses.


7. Open burning of sewer project debris.

8. Disposal of tree trunks and roots, vegetation and

sewer project debris in trenches. B) Erosion and Sediment Control

1. Erosion Control

The Contractor shall use any necessary method as dictated by the situation to control erosion caused by or resulting from construction directly attributable to or incidental to the prosecution of the Contract. The methods shall be in strict accord with the most recent environmentally rigorous practices and shall include, but not be limited to, construction of berms, dikes, temporary and permanent structures, soil stabilization compounds and rip-rap or gabions as necessary to prevent erosion. Erosion control methods shall be employed from initial site preparation, during construction and at the time of final restoration. Methods and materials used for erosion control shall be subject to approval by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service.

Earth Berms, dikes, dams, etc., will be installed in such a manner and location as to prevent any erosion from excavating material to enter into any adjacent water course or the open or newly restored trench. No exceptions or deviations from this procedure will be permitted unless written approval is obtained from the Project Engineer in each separate instance or otherwise specified in the Construction Specifications.


2. Sediment Control

The Contractor will not be allowed to pump any sediment-laden water directly into or indirectly (via surface routes) into nearby water courses or storm drainage facilities. He will employ proven, environmentally sound methods to allow sediment to settle out of the water or prevent sediment from entering the water which interferes with prosecution of this contract before it is discharged to any nearby water course or storm drainage facility. Discharge of sediment-laden water from de-watering operations shall be a minimum of forty (40) lineal feet from any water course and storm drainage facility. Only clear water (no turbidity) will be allowed to discharge into a water course and the point of discharge will be diffused sufficient that no turbulence will be created by its introduction. No erosion caused by discharge from de-watering will be permitted.

If sedimentation ponds are constructed, they will be constructed so as to produce the least detrimental environmental damage during their operation. Accumulated sediment will be removed as directed by the Project Engineer. No sedimentation pond will be constructed unless prior written authorization is obtained from the Project Engineer. Upon removal of said ponds, the environment will be restored to original condition. Color pictures must be taken of each prospective pond site and will be used as the standard for restoration. In the event of loss of or damage to the color pictures of the original site, restoration will be as required to the written satisfaction of the owners of the properties involved and the Project Engineer.

3. Time of Restoration

Environmental restoration of disturbed areas must begin seven (7) days after finish grading and will be completed within thirty (30) calender days from the time of finish grading completion unless approval to the contrary is obtained from the Project Engineer.

4. Standards

Unless otherwise specified herein, the procedure for controlling erosion and sedimentation shall conform as near as practicable to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the United States Department or Agriculture Soil Conservation Service.

1.06 Use of Explosive and Blasting


The Contractor shall use the utmost care in the use of explosives necessary for the

prosecution of the work so as not to endanger life or property. All blasting operations shall be conducted by experienced men only. The handling and use of explosives shall be done strictly in accordance with the latest methods and rulings to insure safety in accordance with the specifications issued by the United States Bureau of Mines; and in compliance with all local and State laws. Failure to observe necessary precautions will be sufficient grounds for temporary suspension of the work. All explosives shall be transported and stored in a secure manner, and in accordance with local and State laws; all vehicles and such storage places shall be marked clearly "DANGEROUS - EXPLOSIVES," and shall be in the care of competent watchman at all times. In no case shall caps or other detonators be stored or transported with dynamite or other explosives. The location of magazines for the storage of explosives and for the separate storage of detonators shall be subject to the approval of the Project Engineer.

Blasting shall be made only during daylight hours as designated by the Project Engineer, and all blasts shall be carefully confined and adequately covered, to prevent injury to persons and to protect adjacent structures and pipes against damage. Rock within five (5) feet of existing structures and pipes shall be removed by means of other than blasting, if directed by the Project Engineer. Before exploding each blast, ample warning shall be given to permit all persons to reach positions of safety.


COLLECTION SYSTEM - GRAVITY SEWERS

2.01 General

The work to be performed includes, but is not limited to, the furnishing and installing complete all work items shown on the drawings, and as listed in the specifications.

The Contractor(s) shall perform the necessary excavation, backfilling, clearing, grubbing, sheeting, shoring, do all shaping of trenches, pumping and bailing, laying and jointing of all pipes, protect and support existing structures and repair them if damaged, manholes, drop manholes, wyes, frames, covers, concrete encasements, sleeves, etc. and do all else necessary and as specified in the Specifications, and all as shown on the drawings.

The Contractor(s) shall furnish all materials, equipment, labor, and tools necessary to complete the work in a neat and workmanship manner. 2.02 Environmental Protection and Restoration 2.021 Site and Access Clearing

A) Clearing - The Contractor shall confine all clearing operations to within the immediate areas that are essential for construction of the work. All clearing schedules should be formulated to provide minimum practical exposure of soils in order to prevent erosion.

B) Topsoil - Before any excavation for pipe installation is begun, the topsoil shall be stripped to the depth of 6 inches and shall be stockpiled to the satisfaction of the Project Engineer. The topsoil shall be kept clean and free of clay, lumps, stones, stumps, or other foreign objectionable foreign matter. Upon completion of the pipe installation, clean-up and grading of the area, the topsoil shall be replaced to a minimum depth of 2 inches.

C) Silt Retention - In order that silt generated by construction is not washed downstream, the drainage plans show retention areas located at or near the outfalls of each of the storm drains. These areas are to consist of semicircular arrangement of hay bales anchored by stakes to insure stability. Cleaning and removal of spoil, together with inspection and replacement bales, is to be done every six (6) months. The bales will be removed only after all paving is established in a particular drainage basin.

D) Channel Stabilization - A combination of perennial rye grass and reed canary grass, each at the rate of 10 pounds / acre, is to be used in seeding drainage channels.

E) Temporary Vegetation Cover - Lime is to be applied to all disturbed, grades at the


rate of 2 tons per acre or 90 pounds per 100 square feet. Fertilizer is to be applied at the rate of 600 pounds per acre or 14 pounds per 1,000 square feet of 10-20-10 or equivalent. Lime and fertilizer to be worked into the soil, as nearly as practical, to a depth of 4" with a disc or harrow. Seeding is to consist of rye grass (annual) applied at the rate of 40 pounds per acre or 2.6 pounds per 1,000 square feet, with optimum seeding before May 20 and between August 15 and October 15.

2.022 Trees and Shrubs The Contractor shall make himself aware of all laws and

ordinances with respect to trees. Where trees are encountered adjacent to or in the path of the construction operations, the Contractor will be required to consult with the Project Engineer as to procedure before proceeding with the work. All marking of trees to be preserved, trimming, or removal must be under the direction of the Project Engineer or his representative.

The Contractor shall make every effort to avoid the destruction of common native trees and shrubs so as not to unduly disturb the ecological and environmental quality of the project area. Where tunneling operations are adopted or as required to construct the sewer line under trees, the opening shall be sheeted on top and sides and the sheeting shall be left in place.

Immediately after the installation of the sewer line, the Contractor shall prune all exposed straggling roots. 2.03 Stockpiling of Suitable Backfill Material

The Contractor shall be prepared when excavating the trench to separate suitable backfill material from unsuitable material for use as backfill adjacent to the pipe. The Project Engineer will have the authority to have the contractor stockpile the selected excavated material up to fifteen hundred (1,500) feet from the excavation. 2.04 Protection of Existing Structures and Utilities

Special precautions shall be taken by the contractor to protect overhead power lines, water mains, gas mains, electric and telephone conduits, storm and sanitary sewers, culvert, buildings and other existing structures in and near the excavation. In all cases, whether underground structures have or have not been delineated, the Project Engineer accepts no responsibility for their location and such locations as shown are to be considered approximate only.

Gutters, sewers, drains, and ditches shall be kept open at all times for surface drainage. No damming or ponding of water in gutters or other waterways will be permitted except where stream crossings are necessary and then only to an extent which the Project Engineer shall consider necessary. The Contractor shall not direct any flow of water across or over pavement except through approved pipes or properly constructed troughs, and he shall, when so required, provide pipes and troughs of such sizes and lengths as may be required, and place the same as directed. The grading in the vicinity of trenches shall be controlled so that the ground surface is properly pitched to prevent water running in the trenches.


The Contractor shall not commence operations, involving any public utility before having given written notice to the Company or Owner, or its agents, and shall cooperate with the Company's or Owner's forces in protecting and preventing damage to the property.

The Contractor will, at his own expense, be responsible for direct or indirect damage that may be done to any utility or structure in the prosecution of his work. The liability of the Contractor is absolute and is not dependent upon any question of negligence on his part or on the part of his agent, or employees, and the neglect of the Project Engineer to direct the Contractor to take any particular precaution or to refrain from doing such damage.

Should the position of any pipe, conduit, pole or other structures, above or below the ground, be such as, in the opinion of the Project Engineer, to require its removal, realignment or change; and the Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim for damage or extra compensation on account of the presence of said structure, or on account of any delay in the removal or realignment of the same.

The Contractor shall not interfere with any persons, or with the Owner in protecting, removing, changing or replacing their pipes, conduits, poles or other structures; but he shall allow said persons or the Owner to take all such measures as they deem necessary or advisable for the purpose aforesaid, and the Contractor shall thereby be in no way relieved of any of his responsibilities.

The Contractor shall make all necessary arrangements with the Owner of the respective utility prior to relocation or interruption of service. All work necessary for the relocation shall be performed by the Contractor, or by the Owner at the Owner's option, and to the satisfaction of the Owner. Where service is interrupted, the Contractor shall cooperate in restoring service promptly. All Charges for damages done to utilities shall be paid by the Contractor. 2.05 Protection of Property Through Rights-of-Way When Applicable

The Contractor shall consult the Project Engineer or his representative prior to removing or disturbing any tree, shrub, bush, fence, sidewalk, building, structure or improvement that may be encountered in the line of the sewer or in the path of any easement or right-of-way.

The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining proper enclosures, barricades, warning signs and for the proper installation of lights which are to be kept burning during darkness.

Immediately upon the completion of laying of the necessary pipe, fittings and appurtenances through each piece of private or public property, the Contractor shall backfill the trench, tamping the same in a careful and workmanlike manner, replacing the sod, lawns, bushes, topsoil, shrubs, or whatever else may have been removed, disturbed or altered during the progress of work.


The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage that may occur after the sewer is constructed that may be directly or indirectly attributed to the operations as they were carried on. The Contractor shall not operate his equipment or store materials outside the easement on private property without first having obtained written consent of the Owner thereof.

Any excess road bed constructed by the Contractor through or over any site which has been obtained for construction purposes shall upon completion of the work be left in a condition similar to that which existed prior to the start of the work and all evidence of the Contractor's operations shall be removed. 2.06 Construction in Road Right-of-Way

Construction in the road right-of-way shall at all times be performed with the minimum disturbance to traffic with sufficient barricades and direction. Detours can be instituted with approval of the Project Engineer, county or local authorities. Manholes shall be constructed immediately after laying of the pipe. Holes and settlements in the trenches shall be immediately filled to the original grade elevation with the specified materials. 2.07 Excavation and Preparation of Trench

The Contractor shall proceed with caution in the excavation and preparation of the trench so that the exact location of underground structures, both known and unknown, may be determined. The trench shall be dug so that the pipe can be laid to the alignment and depth required. Minimum depth of cover from surface of ground to top of pipe barrel shall be as shown on the drawings. No trench shall be excavated more than five hundred lineal feet in advance of pipe laying unless authorized by the Project Engineer. The trench shall be so braced and drained that the workmen may work therein safely and efficiently. It is essential that the discharge of the trench de-watering pumps be conducted to natural drainage channels or drains.

The width of the trench shall be ample to permit the pipe to be laid and jointed properly and the backfill to be placed and compacted as specified.

Bell and coupling holes, where applicable, shall be provided for each joint to permit the jointing to be made properly.

Ledge rock, boulders and large stones shall be removed to provide a clearance of at least 12" below and on each side of all pipes and fittings. (See OCSD1 Standard Details Figure 1, Note 7)

The trench shall be excavated to the depth required so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe on solid and undisturbed ground at every point. Where the bottom of trench at a sub-grade is found to be unstable, or to include ashes, cinders, all types of refuse, vegetable or other organic material or large pieces of fragments of inorganic material which in the judgement of the Project Engineer and/or OCSD#1 should be removed, the Contractor shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the width and depth ordered by the Project Engineer.


Any part of the bottom of the trench excavated below the specified grade shall be corrected with approved bedding material such as thoroughly compacted crushed stone, gravel or concrete as directed by the Project Engineer. The finished subgrade shall be prepared accurately by means of hand tools. The subgrade beneath the centerline of the pipe shall be finished to within 0.03 feet of a straight line between pipe joints or batter boards and all tolerances shall be above the specified grades.

Hand methods of excavation shall be employed in locations shown on the drawings or as directed by the Project Engineer. In other locations, the Contractor may use trench digging machinery or employ hand methods. The Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of adjacent piping or other utilities and any damage shall be repaired at his expense. 2.08 Sheeting and Lumber in Place

Open cut trenches shall be sheeted and braced as required by governing State or County laws and regulations and Municipal Ordinances, and as may be necessary to protect life, property or the work. When close sheeting is required, it shall be so driven as to prevent adjacent soil from entering the trench either below or through such sheeting. Where sheeting and bracing are used, the trench width shall be increased accordingly. The Project Engineer reserves the right to order the sheeting driven to the full depth of the trench or to such additional depths as may be required for the protection of the work. Where soil in the lower limits of a trench has the necessary stability, the Project Engineer at his discretion may permit the Contractor to stop driving the sheeting at some designated elevation above the trench bottom. The granting of this permission by the Project Engineer, however, shall not relieve the Contractor in any degree from his full responsibility under the contract. Sheeting and bracing which have been ordered left in place must be removed for a depth of 2 feet below the established grade or the existing surface of the ground whichever is lower. Trench bracing, except that which must be left in place, may be removed when the backfilling has reached the respective levels of such bracing. Sheeting, except that which has been ordered left in place, may be removed after the backfilling has been completed or has been brought up to such an elevation as to permit its safe removal. Sheeting and bracing may be removed before puddling the trench, but only in such manner as will insure the adequate protection of the completed water structures and adjacent underground or surface structure and prevent the disturbance of adjacent ground. 2.09 De-watering

The Contractor shall at all times provide ample means and equipment with which to promptly remove and dispose of all water and drainage entering the excavations or other parts of the work, and to keep such excavations dry until the structures to be built therein are completed. In no case, will the laying of pipe or the placing of masonry be permitted with water in the excavations. De-watering methods and equipment shall be subject to the approval of the Project Engineer, and all water removed from the work shall be disposed of in an approved manner without damage to adjacent property or other work.


2.10 Excavation of Rock

Material shall be considered rock which, in the opinion of the Project Engineer, cannot be excavated except by drilling and wedging. Boulders will also be classified as rock if the volume required removal at a single location exceeds l/2 cubic yard. Pavements and concrete and masonry structures of any character will not be classified as rock. Soft or disintegrated rock, hardpan and other materials which can be broken down with picks, sledge hammers or similar power actuated mechanical excavation equipment of machinery will not be allowed as rock even though the Contractor, for reasons of his own economy, may elect to remove such materials by drilling and blasting or drilling and wedging.

When rock is to be excavated, it shall be taken out sufficiently below grade to leave a space of at least twelve inches (12") to the outside of the pipe when laid. The trench shall then be filled up to the proper grade with sand, gravel, crushed stone or other suitable material approved by the Project Engineer, and rammed solid. In blasting, all necessary precautions shall be taken to protect persons and property. No blasting shall be done within fifty feet (50') of the pipe as laid. The end of the pipe as laid shall be tightly plugged and covered during any blast nearer than one hundred feet (l00'). The Contractor shall be liable for all damages done to persons and property caused by blasts or explosive or from neglect in properly guarding the trenches. No compensation will be allowed said Contractor for loss so incurred. The unit of measurement shall be one (l) cubic yard. When rock is encountered, it shall be stripped of all earth and left with a clean surface until the height of this surface is measured by the Project Engineer. If so-called "wagon drills" be used, the Project Engineer may waive the requirements for stripping rock surfaces. However, after blasting and removal of the rock, the Contractor shall so clean the faces of the excavation that the upper surface of the rock can easily determined for measurement. Boulders removed should be laid at the side of the trench and the Project Engineer notified and given time to measure the same.

The amount of rock allowed in the estimate will be for a depth equal to a distance from the original surface of the rock to a point twelve inches (12") below the outside of the barrel of the pipe when laid. In trenches, a batter of two inches (2") to the vertical foot on both sides will be allowed; the bottom width to be six inches (6") on each side plus the outside of the diameter of the barrel of the pipe laid. If any underdrain is required in a rock cut, payment shall be made to the depth of twelve inches (12") below the barrel of the underdrain pipe and twelve inches (12") width to each side of the barrel of the underdrain pipe. 2.11 Alignment and Grade

All pipe shall be laid and maintained to the required lines and grades with the end of pipe evenly aligned.

Wherever obstructions not shown on the plans are encountered during the progress of the work and interfere to such an extent that an alteration in the plan is required, the Project Engineer shall have the authority to change the plans and order a deviation from the line and grade.

The Contractor shall proceed with caution in the excavation and preparation of the trench so that the exact location of the underground structures, both known and unknown, may be determined, and he shall be held responsible for the repair of such structures when broken or otherwise damaged.


Whenever, in the opinion of the Project Engineer, it is necessary to explore and excavate to determine the location of existing underground structures, the Contractor shall make such explorations and excavations for such purposes.

The extent of excavation opened or the area unrestored at any one time will be controlled by existing conditions, but shall always be confined to the limits prescribed by the Project Engineer with regard to expeditious construction and to the safety and convenience of the public. In certain instances, it may be required to erect fencing surrounding the open excavation. At no time, however, shall it exceed five hundred (500) feet.

The Project Engineer shall have the power to order the removal or relaying of any pipe laid contrary to his instructions. At the option of the Contractor, laser beams may be used for laying pipe on line and grade, provided the Contractor has reliable equipment and personnel trained in the proper use of this equipment.

The gravity flow pipe lines and manholes shall be inspected daily by the Project Engineer or his representative, as well as by OCSD1. No pipe line trench or manhole excavation shall be backfilled unless inspection has been completed and authorization has been granted by the Project Engineer. The sewer lines will be inspected by natural or artificial light from manhole to manhole, to insure proper alignment. Sewer lines shall be laid straight between manholes. 2.12 Type of Pipe

At times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed by a watertight plug or other means approved by the Project Engineer. If water is in the trench, the seal shall remain in place until the trench is pumped dry. No pipe shall be laid in water or when, in the opinion of the Project Engineer, trench conditions are unsuitable. 2.16 Jointing

Pipe shall be carefully jointed in conformity with the best practice and the detailed instructions of manufacturers. All pipe ends shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to and during the jointing operation.

Actual details of required jointing practice will depend upon the particular type adopted, but shall, in all cases involve approved practice and shall be such as to produce the required results, particularly as regards flexibility and water tightness under pressure.

All A.B.S. truss and solid wall sewer pipe and fittings shall be furnished with type "SC" joints (solvent-cemented joints) in which pipe solvent cements into a coupling socket to form the joint closure.

Primer for solvent welding shall be methyl ethyl detone (MEK) and the cement shall be MEK containing a minimum of 20% by weight of dissolved A.B.S. 2.17 Building Connections


Page -20-

2.171 General

Pipe for house and building connections shall conform to all the requirements specified above for collecting sewers. Fittings for connecting the house or building connections to the main sewer shall be made from the same designated class as to the main sewer. They shall be neatly made and so constructed as to develop a strength equal to that specified for the pipe from which it is made. Joints in fittings shall be the same as for straight pipe. 2.172 Risers

Where the sewer main in the road easement or right-of-way is at an excessive depth, same to be determined by the Project Engineer, the Contractor shall construct a riser as directed by the Project Engineer. The riser shall be encased in concrete similar as shown on the drawings for an outside drop connection for a manhole. 2.173 Capping or Plugging

The ends of all house connections shall be sealed with an approved cap or other method. The cap shall be capable of withstanding exfiltration/infiltration tests. 2.174 Location of House Laterals

The contractor shall locate the connection so that the lateral will come off the street main ninety degrees (90o) to the curb line at the location marked by a stake placed by the Project Engineer. If the location of the lateral was not marked, the Contractor shall notify the Project Engineer before placing the lateral. Orange County Sewer District No. 1 shall, upon inspection & approval, supply as-builts of the building sewer laterals for future reference that shall be kept on file with OCSD 1. 2.18 Bedding Material

This item shall include the furnishing, excavating for, placing, grading, and compacting of crushed stone or washed gravel for a bedding to support the pipe structures, risers, or manholes. The depth and extent of the bedding material shall be as shown on the drawings or as directed by the Project Engineer under field conditions. 2.19 Leakage and Testing 2.191 General


Page -21-

During the progress of construction and upon completion of the same, the Contractor will

test the sewers and appurtenances. Testing of leakage will be either by air testing or water testing as outlined within these specifications and as directed by the Project Engineer. In addition, deflection testing will also be conducted as outlined within these specifications if deemed necessary by the Project Engineer.

For water testing, allowable infiltration or exfiltration shall not exceed 100 gallons per

inch diameter per mile per day, including manhole leakage. The localized or spurting leaks of any volume detected in sewers shall be repaired. In the case of air testing, the allowable leakage will be as set forth in the air testing table as outlined in Section 2.193 of these specifications.

Sewers will be tested prior to any service connections. Repair sewers which fail to meet tests until the necessary requirements of these specifications are complied with as evidenced by subsequent tests. Ground water leakage into manholes will be sufficient reason for requiring the Contractor to uncover or expose any portion of the manhole for a thorough examination by the Project Engineer, after which the manhole will be repaired and again tested by the Contractor. Final acceptance of the entire length of sewer will not be issued until leakage and deflection has been reduced to rates not exceeding the rates specified. 2.192 Water Testing

The duration of the tests will be a minimum of 24 hours, and the procedure to be used for these tests are as follows:

A) Infiltration Tests

Furnish all labor, equipment, tools, and materials including weirs necessary for such tests. Install the weir in such manholes as directed by the Project Engineer. Where weir measurements are not suitable in the Project Engineer's opinion, other methods of measurement, as he will determined, may be adopted. In making infiltration tests, the Project Engineer may flood the trench with water if, in his opinion, such procedure is necessary to fairly represent actual service conditions as they may vary throughout the year. The rate of infiltration will be measured every four hours, or at other intervals of time as may be directed by the Project Engineer. B) Exfiltration Test

The initial section between manholes of the sewer constructed shall be tested for leakage prior to backfilling before the Contractor will be allowed to continue


Page -22-

laying additional sewer pipe. Other intermediate leakage tests during construction shall be made as required by the Project Engineer. Prior to final acceptance, it shall be tested for water tightness and shall meet the requirements set forth below. Tests shall be made by filling the sewer with water furnished by the Contractor and the quantity of leakage from the sewer measured. The head of water during the test shall be maintained at least at two feet (2') above the highest section of the sewer being tested. Where the sewer being tested has been constructed in water bearing soil, leakage tests may, at the discretion of the Project Engineer as approved by OCSD 1, be made by measuring the quantity of infiltration into the sewer or structure. Plugs required for sealing the ends of the pipe shall be supplied by the Contractor at his expense.

The completed sewers shall be tested for smoothness of invert, freedom from obstructions and straightness of line. The invert shall reveal no sags in which pools or water may develop. A visual inspection of each section of the sewer shall show no substantial curves or bulges. The pipe line shall be sufficiently free and clear to pass a ball one inch (1") less in diameter than the size of the pipe through the finished sewer line. Should any leaks, defective joints or defective construction be found, they shall be promptly made good, and should any defective pipe or spurs be discovered, they shall be removed and replaced with sound pipes or spurs in a satisfactory manner and without additional compensation.

The Contractor shall furnish and convey all water required for testing.

2.193 Air Testing

Where air testing is specified, test methods and acceptability criteria shall be in accordance with the appropriate ASTM specifications. Air testing shall generally be acceptable for all types of pipe materials. If air testing is employed, the manholes shall be tested by exhilaration. Inflatable stoppers shall be used to plug all lines into and out of the manhole being tested. The stoppers shall be positioned in the lines far enough from the manhole to insure testing to those portions of the lines not air tested. The manhole shall then be filled with water to a level four feet (4') above the top of the pipe. A 24-hour soak shall be allowed. Leakage shall not exceed ½ gallon per hour. Manholes determined to be suspected of poor quality, jointing of construction practices by the Project Engineer and/or OCSD 1 shall be tested to the top of the manhole. See Attachment A: Air Test Table for minimum allowances.

The Contractor will furnish weirs, stand pipes, pipe plugs, water, pressure gauges, stop watches, air compressor, hose and all such materials and assistance as required to perform these tests. All tests shall be conducted by the Contractor. Testing and procedures to be done as directed by the Project Engineer and witnessed by the Project Engineer (as directed) and OCSD


Page -23-

1 as required.

The contractor shall be responsible to provide all testing results to the Project Engineer for review and approval as directed by the Project Engineer. Testing results shall also be provided to OCSD1 by the Contractor and/or Project Engineer as requested by OCSD 1.

Tests shall not be made until the sanitary sewer, manholes and required building spurs, as shown on approved street plans, have been installed, the sewer trenches backfilled to a minimum of 6 feet or finished grade and compacted.

All sanitary sewers, including manholes, shall be inspected prior to testing, and any water leakage into the system sufficient to constitute any noticeable trickle or dribble, first shall be corrected and eliminated prior to undertaking the test.

Wherever it has been necessary to construct under drains or place gravel under pipe lines in order to de-water the trench during construction of the sewers, the test will not be made until any pumps (which have been used in the de-watering process) have been disconnected.

Each section of completed sewer shall be tested. Generally, the sewers will be tested from manhole to manhole. No sewers or building spur connections are to be excluded from this testing procedure.

The test procedure shall be conducted in the following manner:

1. The Contractor shall thoroughly clean and remove all debris, silt, earth, or other material from the sewer prior to testing. The pipe may be flushed or sprayed with water. None of this water or debris shall be allowed to enter the existing sewer.

2. Test plugs shall be supplied and installed by the Contractor within the pipe at each manhole or at suitable locations to test a section of the pipe. Each plug shall be securely braced as necessary.

3. If the pipe to be tested is expected to be below the ground water table, the - Contractor shall either:

- install a small diameter perforated vertical pipe from the invert elevation

of the sewer to the surface prior to backfilling, or

- insert a pipe probe by boring or driving into the backfill material adjacent to the invert elevation of the pipe, and determine the depth of the ground water level above the pipe invert immediately prior to testing the sewer.4.

4. The Contractor shall add air slowly to the portion of the pipe under test


Page -24-

until the internal air pressure is raised to 4.0 PSI greater than the average back pressure of any ground water above the invert of the pipe.

5. As a safety precaution, no one shall be allowed in a manhole after the air pressure is increased in the sewer line. If the Project Engineer suspects that the test plug may be leaking, the pressure first shall be relieved before any adjustments are made to eliminate air leakage at the plug. The Contractor may precoat the plug with a soap solution to check the plugs for leakage.

6. The Contractor shall allow the air temperature to stabilize for at least two minutes with the pipe subjected to an internal pressure of 4.0 PSI (greater than the average ground water back pressure) by adding only the amount of air required to maintain this pressure.

7. If the internal air pressure decreases, the time required for the pressure drop from 3.5 to 3.0 PSI (greater than the average ground water back pressure) will be observed and recorded. This time interval shall be compared with the established standards in accordance with the approved table of time and length for various diameters of sewer.

8. Pipe which fails to maintain the stipulated pressure for a period equal to or greater than the holding time shown in the approved tables, shall be deemed to have failed to pass the low pressure air test and will be unsatisfactory for acceptance. Any sewer or house connection that fails to pass this test shall be repaired by the Contractor. Following corrections, the sanitary sewer shall be tested again in accordance with the enumerated procedures.

9. For accuracy and safety precautions, air tests shall be limited to the diameters of pipe and lengths of pipe indicated in the air test table of time. (Table Located at end of these Specifications)

10. Pressure gauges used in the air test procedure shall have a minimum 4 inch diameter face, a range of 0-10 PSI, shall be calibrated in divisions of 0.10 PSI, and have an accuracy of plus or minus 1 percent.

2.194 Deflection Testing (Go-No-Go Testing)

When deflection testing is necessary, the following steps shall be followed:

1. Make sure line is clean and free of debris that might cause the device to jam. It is recommended that the line be cleaned with a hydro-cleaner washing in


Page -25-

the direction of the flow (none of this water or debris shall be allowed to enter the existing sewer).

2. The next step is to pull a line through the pipe with which to pull the Go-No-Go device. This can be done in several ways.

a) If a hydro-cleaner is being used, attach the pull line to the nozzle end before actual cleaning cycle starts. As the hose is pulled through the line, it will carry the pull line with it. When the hose nozzle reaches the manhole, disconnect the pull line and tie it off.

b) A parachute device can be blown through the line with a lightweight string attached. Detach the string, and attach the pull line. annually drag the pull line through the pipe. Tie off at each manhole.

c) If a sewer line is in service, a string can be floated through the manhole run. When the string reaches the next manhole, attach it to the pull line and drag through. Tie the pull line at each manhole.

3. The Go-No-Go testing gauge shall be as defined in the Green-Tite (TradeMark) PVC Gravity Sewer Pipe Installation Guide as published by J-M Pipe.

Pulling of the gauge shall be done by hand. The pulling motion should be

smooth and easy to avoid jamming the gauge if an obstruction is encountered in the line. The gauge should have a line on each end to facilitate removal should the gauge become obstructed in the direction of the pull. If the gauge stops lightly, pull on it to see if it will clear the obstruction. When it appears that the gauge will not go forward, record the distance from the manhole at which the gauge is stuck and then pull the gauge back out.

DO NOT USE mechanical equipment to force the gauge through. This may result in a broken pull line.

When using a "Go-No-Go" device, it is recommended that the design be

such that it will allow small obstructions, such as gravel, to pass through.

All labor, equipment, tools, and materials needed shall be supplied by the Contractor. All testing and procedures shall be as directed by the Project Engineer and witnessed by the Project Engineer (as directed) and OCSD 1 as required.

2.20 Manholes


Page -26-

The contractor shall be responsible to provide all testing results to the Project Engineer for review and approval as directed by the Project Engineer. Testing results shall also be provided to OCSD1 by the Contractor and/or Project Engineer as requested by OCSD 1. All manholes shall be required to pass an approved vacuum test (see Attachment B: Vacuum Testing of Manholes).

2.201 General

Where manholes are called for on the drawings, they shall be of either precast concrete block or precast reinforced concrete and shall be fitted with cast iron frames and covers, and shall be constructed in accordance with the details shown on the plans immediately after pipe has been laid.

Excavation for manholes shall be of ample dimensions to permit easy construction, and shall be kept free of water.

Manhole bases shall be of plain or reinforced concrete, Class B with the invert channels smooth, accurately shaped, and in accordance with the plans. Where there is no junction or change in line, grade or size, the invert shall consist of half pipe sections laid in concrete base, or shall be constructed by laying full section sewer pipe straight through the manhole and cutting off the top half after the concrete base is constructed and sufficiently set.

The top of the wall of all manholes shall be leveled off with mortar so as to form a flat surface upon which the manhole frame is to rest, and manholes shall be carried to such height above the sewer as shown or as ordered. The top of all precast manholes may be brought to proper grade for receiving manhole frames by using not more than four (4) courses of brick. The frame shall be properly set in place in a full bed of mortar and so adjusted as to conform to such elevations as are indicated on the contract drawings or as required. Where shown on the drawings, watertight manhole frames and covers will be provided.

Ground water leakage into manholes shall be sufficient reason for requiring the Contractor to uncover or expose any portion of the manhole for a thorough examination by the Project Engineer, after which the manhole shall be repaired and again tested by the Contractor.

On those manholes located where a sewer extension may be made in the future, and as directed by the Project Engineer, the Contractor shall install stubs of the material, length and diameter indicated on the plans.

Care shall be taken to have all pipes laid to correct lines and grade before backfilling,

pumping or bailing, and all other incidental work required for completion as shown on the drawings. When the differential between the invert elevation "in" and the invert elevation "out" is less than two feet (2'), the transition shall be made by shaping the channel to the satisfaction of the Project Engineer and as approved by OCSD 1.

In all junction manholes where the invert elevation of one sewer is more than two feet


Page -27-

(2') higher than the floor of the manhole, or where directed by the Project Engineer, the connection shall be made by means of an outside drop connection, as shown on the drawings.

2.202 Concrete Block Manholes

Walls shall be constructed of properly formed precast concrete block. Manholes 48 inches in diameter and twelve feet and less in depth shall have walls not less than six inches in thickness. Manholes greater than twelve feet in depth shall have walls with a minimum thickness of twelve inches below the 12 foot depth. The 12 inch thickness shall consist of one 6 inch thick outer ring and one 6 inch inner ring laid with staggered joints. Block shall be laid on a full bed of cement and two parts clean, coarse, screened sand, thoroughly mixed dry with a sufficient amount of water slowly added afterward to give proper consistency. No broken or damaged block shall be used. The entire outer surface of all manholes shall be plastered with a smooth coating of Portland cement mortar, at least one-half inch thick in two applications. In addition, where shown on the plans, a membrane shall be wrapped around the outside of the manhole. 2.203 Precast Reinforced Concrete Manholes

All precast reinforced concrete manholes shall be monolithically poured, except for the base riser section, which is to be integrally poured with key and stirrups.

The reinforced concrete shall conform to ASTM Standards C 478-68 and the steel reinforcement to ASTM Standards A 02, A 496, A 185, A 497, or A 15.

The minimum compressive strength of the concrete shall be 4000 PSI in the manhole riser and top sections and the minimum shell thickness shall be one-twelfth of the internal diameter of the riser or largest cone diameter.

The circumferential reinforcement in the riser and conical top sections shall consist of one line of steel and shall be not less than 0.12 square inch per lineal foot for sizes up to and including 54 inch in diameter, and 0.17 square inch per lineal foot in larger sizes. 2.21 Backfilling Structures

As manholes and the various structures or parts of structures are completed, the Contractor shall refill the space outside and around the walls with material excavated from the site, free of stones, rocks, rubbish and other debris and stored for the purpose. Between the structure and the adjacent unexcavated material, the backfill shall be placed in twelve inch layers and compacted with approved flat-faced mechanical tampors to avoid future settlement. This


Page -28-

filling shall be brought up evenly to such a height as will bring the finished grade up to the required elevations.

All backfilling and additional fill (See Select Fill Material) required to provide the

finished grades shown on the plans shall be left with smooth, even surfaces, properly graded, free from stones, rocks, rubbish and other debris. 2.22 Backfilling Trenches

Upon the completion of the laying of the pipe, backfilling will be started immediately and shall be continued so that at the end of the working day all pipe is completely backfilled, and where shown on the plans or required by governmental agencies, all trenches will be completely backfilled and in a passable condition at the end of each work day.

A) Bottom of Trench:

Select backfill shall be placed continuously by hand in layers not exceeding six inches in thickness and carefully and thoroughly consolidated by tamping simultaneously on both sides of the pipe to a height of twenty-four inches (24") above the top of the pipe with select backfill material. This selected material shall be free from stones larger than one inch in diameter, frozen material, lumber or rubbish. (See #2.23). This backfilling must be done promptly and before any filling is deposited directly from a machine, bucket, truck or other vehicle. In no case will dumping from a bucket be allowed to fall directly upon a pipe and in all cases the bucket must be lowered so that the shock of the falling earth will not injure the pipe or structure.

B) Upper Trench:

Backfill placed more than two feet (2') above the top of the pipe shall be free of stones eight inches in diameter or larger.

1. Under Roadways, Sidewalks and Driveways:

All backfill more than one foot above the top of pipe in roadways, or where sidewalks, driveways, utilities, fences or curbing exist or will be constructed over the area to be backfilled, shall be compacted as follows: 1) By approved vibratory soil compactors if the backfill

material be preponderantly sand, or sand and gravel, but contain more than 12 percent, by weight, of material that will pass a 200 mesh sieve.

2) By approved vibratory soil compactors or by puddling, if

the material be preponderantly sand or sand and gravel and contain not more than 12 percent by weight, of material


Page -29-

that will pass a 220 mesh sieve, excepting that puddling will not be permitted in trenches for pipes or culverts with open joints.

3) By approved flat-faced mechanical tampers, if the backfill

material be not preponderantly sand or sand and gravel.

In (a) and (b) above, approved flat-faced mechanical tampers may be substituted for the vibratory soil compactors where the sheeting and bracing of trenches or other special conditions make the use of vibratory compactors impracticable.

Where trenches are puddled in accordance with the foregoing provisions,

the backfill shall be placed in successive lifts not more than four feet (4') thick and each lift shall be thoroughly puddled before the next lift is placed. The application of water shall be continuous until thorough puddling of each lift is evidenced by a constant head without further addition of water. In unpaved areas, if more than a six inch (6") depth of trench remains unfilled after the final puddling, the remaining backfill shall be mechanically compacted. In paved areas, the puddled material shall not extend above a line eighteen inches (18") below the base of the pavement after settlement. The trench shall be brought to grade with mechanically compacted material. The surface of the trench backfill shall be rounded to allow for compression and shall be finally compacted by a roller, with a load of not less than 330 pounds per inch of width of rear wheels.

2. In Open Areas:

Backfilling trenches more than one foot (1') above the top of pipe in areas where

roadways, sidewalks, driveways, utilities, fences or curbing do not exist or will not be constructed may be done with bulldozer or power shovel except as otherwise noted on the plans. Where backfilling is permitted with bulldozer or power shovel, the Contractor shall provide supervision in addition to the machine operator at the point of backfilling to carefully supervise this operation.

Backfill material must not be dropped directly in the open trench, but the trench

shall be backfilled by sliding the backfill down the inclined face of the material in the trench.

2.23 Select Fill Material

If, in the opinion of the Project Engineer, the excavated material is judged to be unfit for select backfill, the pipe will be backfilled to a depth to be determined by the Project Engineer above the crown with select fill. The select fill under this item shall consist of dirty 3/4 inch road stone, bank run, sand and gravel or other permitted materials. The fill shall contain no stone larger than one inch (1") in its largest diameter.

2.24 Concrete


Page -30-

All concrete to be used for manhole bases, drop connection bases, building connection

riser bases and anchor blocks where shown on the plans, shall be air-entrained Class "B" concrete. The cement shall be Portland Cement, Type 2, not hardened by moisture; fine aggregates to meet the New York State Department of Transportation Standard Specifications Section 703.07 for Concrete Sand; and the coarse aggregate the Standard Specifications Section 703.02.

All concrete to be placed on and backed by solid undisturbed ground for anchor blocks at the locations shown on the plans.

Anchor blocks shall be so constructed and placed that pipe joints will be accessible for repair if necessary, and rust-proof metal harness or strap of adequate strength embedded in the concrete to prevent movement.

Manhole bases, drop section and building connection riser based shall be constructed on a twelve inch (12") minimum depth of hereinbefore specified foundation material (See #2.18). 2.25 Sewers Near Water Mains

All sanitary sewer mains, laterals and appurtances (including manholes) shall be laid at least ten feet (10'), horizontally from any existing or proposed drain or water main. Should local conditions prevent a lateral separation of ten feet (10'), a sanitary sewer may be laid closer than ten feet (10') to a storm or water main, provided that the main is laid in a separate trench, or on an undisturbed earth shelf located on one side of the water main at such an elevation that the bottom of the water main is at least eighteen inches (18") above the top of the sanitary sewer as approved by the Local Dept. of Health and OCSD 1. When it is impossible to obtain proper horizontal and/or vertical separation as stipulated above, both the water main and sanitary sewer must be constructed of push-on (Ductile Iron Tyton Pipe and Fittings with Field Lok 35 Gaskets (as MFG by Us Pipe and Foundation Company, or approved equal by OCSD 1) or mechanical joint cast iron pipe, class 52 ductile iron pipe (as approved by OCSD 1), and must be hydrostatically pressure-tested to assure water tightness before backfilling. The sewer main and lateral pipe must be hydrostatically tested to a minimum of 50 psi in accordance with an acceptable testing procedure adopted for the pipe material as approved by OCSD 1.

Whenever water mains must cross house sewers, storm drains, or sanitary sewers, the

water main should be laid at such an elevation that the bottom of the water main is eighteen inches (18") above the top of the sewer. This vertical separation should be maintained for the portion of the water main located within ten feet (10') horizontally of any sewer or drain it crosses, said ten feet (10') to be measured horizontally from the opposing outside diameter faces of the water main to the drain or sewer.

Where conditions prevent the minimum vertical separation set forth above from being

maintained, or when it is necessary for the water main to pass under a sewer or drain, the water main must be laid with slip-on or mechanical joint class 52 dip (as approved by OCSD 1) and the


Page -31-

pipe must be extend on each side of the crossing until the horizontal distance from the opposing outside diameter faces of the water main to the sewer or drain line is at least ten feet (10').

In making such crossing, it is required to center a length of water main pipe under the sewer to be crossed so that the joints will be equi-distant from the sewer and as remote therefrom as possible.

Where a water main must cross under a sewer, a vertical separation of eighteen inches (18") between the bottom of the sewer and the top of the water main must be maintained, with adequate support for the larger-sized sewer lines to prevent them from settling on and breaking the water main. Under the above conditions, the sewer main shall be constructed of push-on (Ductile Iron Tyton Pipe and Fittings with Field Lok 35 Gaskets (as manufactured by US Pipe and Foundry Company, or approved equal by OCSD 1) or mechanical joint class 52 cement lined tar coated inside and out ductile iron pipe as approved equal by OCSD 1). The sanitary sewer main shall be constructed of the special material from manhole to manhole over or under the water main at the point of crossing. After the sewer pipe has been installed and prior to backfilling, the special section shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of at least 50 PSI for a period of not less than two hours in accordance with AWWA C600-99 (or other referenced standard as approved by OCSD 1). Each special section shall be slowly filled with water to the test pressure of 50 PSI. The required pressure shall be applied by means of a pump. The pump, gauges and all necessary apparatus shall be furnished by the Contractor. Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the line by opening an air release valve. All joints shall be carefully examined and observed during the hydrostatic test. Any defective joint or pipe discovered as a consequence of this pressure test shall be removed or repaired by the Contractor and the test shall be repeated until satisfactory to the Project Engineer and OCSD 1. No water pipe shall pass through, or come into contact with, any part of a sewer manhole. A minimum horizontal separation of ten feet (10') between the exterior walls of the sewer manhole and water main is required. In addition, minimum cover for any water main shall be 4 feet. Mechanical Joint Pipe The mechanical joint for ductile iron pipe shall meet all the requirements of the American Standards Specifications for Mechanical Joints, A21.11 - 1964 and AWWA (C111-64) and their revisions and shall have the same pressure rating as the pipe of which housing is a part.


Page -32-

All mechanical joint pipes and fittings shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's standard specifications of the R.D. Wood company or the United States Pipe and Foundry Company for class 52 ductile iron pipe and fittings cement lined and tar coated inside and out )or approved equal by OCSD 1). 2.26 Sewers Near Public Water Supply Wells

All sanitary sewer mains, laterals and appurtances (including manholes) shall be laid at least 200 feet), horizontally from any existing or proposed community well. Should local conditions prevent a lateral separation of two hundred feet (200’), a sanitary sewer may be laid no closer than fifty feet (50') from a community well, as required below by OCSD1 and as required by the Orange County Department of Health whereas the more strict requirement(s) shall govern.

When it is impossible to obtain proper horizontal separation as stipulated above, the

sanitary sewer system, including building lateral sewers and all fittings, must be constructed of push-on (Ductile Iron Tyton Pipe and Fittings with Field Lok 35 Gaskets (as MFG by Us Pipe and Foundation Company, or approved equal by OCSD 1) or mechanical joint cast iron pipe, class 52 ductile iron pipe (as approved by OCSD 1), and must be hydrostatically pressure-tested to assure water tightness before backfilling. The sewer main and lateral pipe and fittings must be hydrostatically tested to a minimum of 50 psi in accordance with an acceptable testing procedure adopted for the pipe material as approved by OCSD 1.

As an alternative to the above stated hydrostatic test, when it is impossible to obtain

proper horizontal separation as stipulated above, the sanitary sewer system, including building lateral sewers and all fittings, must be constructed of the pipe material specified for the amount of cover required (as approved by OCSD1), and must be pressure-tested to assure water tightness before backfilling. The sewer main and lateral pipe and fittings must be pressure tested at 4.0 psi for the duration shown in Attachment A: Air Test Table with a required Pressure Drop of zero psi (0.0 psi) recorded.

All sanitary sewer manholes constructed within two hundred feet (200’) of a public water

supply well must be tested in strict adherence to Attachment B: Vacuum Testing of Manholes (or other approved vacuum testing of manholes by OCSD1). 2.27 Final Inspection Preceding Acceptance Final inspection of the work will include a visual inspection of each section of sewer by looking from manhole to manhole with the aid of reflected sunlight or an electric torch. The pipe shall be true to both line and grade, shall show no leaks; shall be free from cracks and from protruding joint materials and contain no deposits of sand, dirt or other materials which will reduce the full cross-sectional area. Ground water infiltration shall not exceed the rates hereinbefore stipulated and shall be distributed uniformly throughout the collecting system and not occur through a few joints. Wall joints shall be tight. All finished work shall be neat in appearance and of first-class workmanship. Contractor shall furnish two laborers to assist the Project Engineer in this inspection.


Page -33-

All sanitary sewer pipes, manholes and appurtances shall be: 1. Constructed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications by OCSD 1, 2. Pass approved pneumatic and in hydrostatic testing procedure(s), visual inspection and

CLOSED CIRCUIT TV inspection as required by OCSD 1, 3. In compliance with main line and lateral sewer construction permit(s) issued by OCSD 1.
