Sewer laterals and water services shall be installed to the
right-of-way (or easement) line for all lots. Each service shall be
located with a stake color coded in conformance with NYS Code Rule
753-4.7 (Industrial Code 53) to denote the type of service it represents.
Compaction densities specified herein shall be the percentage
of the maximum density obtainable at optimum moisture content as determined
and controlled, in accordance with AASHTO T99 (ASTM D698-07el). Field
density tests shall be made in accordance with AASHTO T238 and T239
(ASTM D6938-10). Each layer of backfill shall be moistened or dried
as required and shall be compacted to the following densities, unless
otherwise specified.

B. Methods and equipment. Methods and equipment proposed for compaction
shall be subject to the approval of the Town. Compaction by rolling
or operating heavy equipment over fill areas shall be conducted in
a manner by which injury to existing utilities and structures shall
be avoided. Any pipe or structure damaged thereby shall be replaced
or repaired as directed by the Town at the expense of the developer.
C. Testing.
(1)
Field density tests may be ordered by the Town as necessary
and will be paid for by the developer.
(2)
The developer shall furnish all necessary samples for laboratory
tests and shall provide assistance and cooperation during field tests.
The developer shall plan his operations to allow adequate time for
laboratory tests and to permit taking of field density tests during
compaction.
(3)
Any areas found to be below required compaction densities shall
be removed and replaced with new material at the developer's expense.
The methods of operation and/or the backfill materials shall be changed
to meet required compactions.
(4)
Inadequate compaction shall be cause for the Town to issue a
stop-work order on a project.
The monuments shall be installed at those locations shown on
the approved final plan and as located in the field by a licensed
land surveyor. They shall be installed to a depth of at least 30 inches
below finished grade with the top surface to be flush with finished
grade. Upon the installation of the monuments, the location shall
be certified to the Town by a licensed land surveyor as to their accuracy.
During the time period between initial installation and testing
and acceptance for dedication, debris and/or sediment may accumulate
in the utility systems. The developer shall be responsible to flush
and remove this debris from the system prior to the final inspection
for dedication.
