The general purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures,
standards, and conditions for the issuance of highway occupancy permits

required when any activity is undertaken over, under, or within any
portion of a highway right-of-way or stormwater drainage system that
is under the jurisdiction of the County. This chapter also regulates
various activities that may interfere with the free and safe movement
of traffic on a County highway or that may adversely affect operation
and maintenance of County highways, including existing or proposed
County highway improvements, fixtures, or equipment, and further including
adverse effects on stormwater drainage affecting County highways.

to the full depth of the existing pavement on a straight line before
excavating. The surfaces shall be cut in such a manner (approximately
one foot wider on each side of required trench width) that lifting
of pavement adjacent to the trench will not occur during excavating.
Any concrete encountered shall be saw cut and all bars cut flush with
the edges of the concrete. Roadway surfaces beyond the limits of the
trench cuts shall not be disturbed.
B. The excavated material from the trench opening may be used for backfilling
unless use of such materials is rejected by the County Engineer or
the Engineer's on site designated representative. If alternate
backfill is necessary, it shall be certified to the satisfaction of
the County Engineer or the Engineer's on-site representative.
Materials that are wet, unstable, or include industrial wastes or
rubble shall not be used as backfill.
C. Dewatering:
(1) The contractor shall furnish sufficient pumping equipment at his
own expense for satisfactory drainage whenever needed in the trench
and other excavations during the progress of the work.
(2) All water pumped and bailed from the trench or to other excavation
shall be conveyed in a proper manner to a suitable point of discharge
and done in accordance with the current Standards for Soil Erosion
and Sediment Control.
(3) The flow in all sewers, drains, and watercourses encountered on the
work, and in gutters alongside of or across the work, shall be entirely
provided for, both temporarily and permanently, as required, by the
contractor and at his expense.
(4) Hay bales or other methods approved by the Soil Conservation Service
shall be placed at inlets to prevent sand and silt infiltration.
D. Any abandoned utilities permanently left in place shall be fully
grouted to eliminate any voids, unless otherwise directed by the County.
E. Backfill material shall be deposited in layers and compacted in such
a manner and by such methods as to achieve 98% standard proctor density
throughout the entire area to be backfilled. The maximum thickness
of each layer shall not exceed 12 inches loose measurement unless
it can be demonstrated that lifts exceeding 12 inches meet the minimum
98% compaction requirement.
F. The County Engineer may require the permittee to have a certified
soil testing laboratory test backfill for compaction at any given
lift. These tests shall be done at the expense of the permittee and
a copy of the test results shall be furnished to the County Engineer's
Office. If the certified laboratory test results do not achieve the
98% relative compaction required, the County Engineer may require
re-excavation and compaction.
G. Tunneling, drilling, boring and/or jacking may be permitted along
or crossing County roads at the discretion of the County Engineer.
All voids created by tunneling shall be filled with concrete or grout
by an approved method. Any surface areas displaced by these construction
methods shall be fully reconstructed to the satisfaction of the County
at the permit holder's expense.
H. All openings beyond the paved shoulder areas shall be brought to
grade with compacted backfill. After a minimum of six months a minimum
thickness of four inches of topsoil shall be constructed in the trench
area and seeded, fertilized, and mulched or sodded. Should a proper
growth not be achieved after one month, the area shall be re-fertilized,
reseeded, and re-mulched or re-sodded as necessary.
I. Temporary pavement restoration:
(1) For all roadways, except those with a concrete base, the permittee
shall restore the highway with a compacted subgrade of material acceptable
to the County Engineer, six inches of compacted dense graded aggregate,
and a temporary pavement consisting of six inches of hot mix asphalt
stabilized base (HMA 19M64). The surface of the hot mix asphalt stabilized
base course (HMA 19M64) shall be brought even with the existing finished
grade of the roadway. ("Cold patch" will not be permitted as a temporary
pavement course under any circumstance. "UPM" may be permitted when
the asphalt plants are closed during the winter months.) The temporary
pavement shall stay in place for a period of at least four weeks unless
further time is deemed necessary by the County Engineer. In general,
deeper excavations shall require longer periods of time for soil consolidation.
The permittee is responsible for maintaining the temporary pavement
in passable conditions and shall apply additional courses or skin
patches.
(2) For roadways with a concrete base, the permittee shall restore the
highway in accordance with NJDOT Standard Construction Details unless
otherwise specified by the County Engineer.
J. Final pavement restoration:
(1) Final restoration shall take place after a preset minimum settlement
period determined by depth and in place soil density testing, or periodic
measurement of settlement over a set time period. In general, the
preset minimum settlement periods determined by depth are: 30 days
for trench depth four feet or less and 90 days for trench depth more
than four feet and not exceeding eight feet.
(2) Immediately prior to applying the surface course, the permittee shall
mill out or remove the temporary pavement above the trench and to
sufficient widths on both sides of the trench to assure straight and
uniform surface restoration limits. At a minimum, the mill course
shall consist of the width of the trench at the road surface, plus
one foot on each side of the trench. The milling depth is to be at
least two inches. The permittee shall then apply a tack course followed
by at least two inches of hot-mixed asphalt surface course (HMA 12.5M64),
as specified by the County Engineer's office. The total width
of the restored roadway surface shall comply with the specifications
of the County Engineer's office.
(3) Multiple openings within 30 feet of one another shall be milled and
shall have continuous top paving longitudinally and transversely as
outlined below. Additional limits of restoration may be required by
the County Engineer depending on damage from equipment and the impact
of the project on the street and motorists. All trenches/multiple
openings shall be restored as follows:
(a)
Paved shoulders. Standard full width trench restoration will
be decided prior to final restoration by the County.
(b)
One travel lane or deceleration lane. Surface restoration shall
extend for 1/2 of the road width for a two-lane road and a full lane
width for multi-lane road.
(c)
Openings down the middle of a road or exceptionally deep trench
openings. Surface restoration shall extend across the full width of
the paved road.
(d)
All seams, joints (including curb to roadway joint) are to be
sealed.
(e)
All traffic control devices, i.e., signs, stripes, etc., removed,
or damaged as a result of said permittee's road opening shall

on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, to the satisfaction of the County
Engineer, upon final restoration.
