A. 
The portion thereof designated N.J.A.C. 7:9A-3.5(c)2ix is amended to read as follows:

A new subsection is added to the end of the section thereof designated N.J.A.C. 7:9A-5.2, being Subsection (i) and reading as follows:

These posts shall mark the approximate center of each pit or boring and shall be placed so that not less than two feet and not more than 2 1/2 feet will be exposed above the backfilled surface elevation. The exposed portion of the steel fence post shall be painted a bright fluorescent orange color for each recognition and identification.
