SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL

[Inspection and] testing will be performed under provisions of Section [01400.] [01410.] [________.]

Tests and analysis of soil material will be performed in accordance with [ANSI/ASTM D698.] [ANSI/ASTM D1557.] [AASHTO T180.] [ASTM D2167.] [ASTM D2922.] [ASTM D3017.]

If tests indicate materials do not meet specified requirements, change material and retest at no cost to Owner.

PART	EXECUTION

STOCKPILING

Stockpile materials on site [at locations [indicated] [designated by Architect/Engineer]].

Stockpile in sufficient quantities to meet project schedule and requirements.

Separate differing materials with dividers or stockpile apart to prevent mixing.

Direct surface water away from stockpile site to prevent erosion or deterioration of materials.

STOCKPILE CLEANUP

Remove stockpile, leave area in a clean and neat condition. Grade site surface to prevent free standing surface water.

****** [OR] ******

[Leave unused materials in a neat, compact stockpile.]

If a borrow area is indicated, leave area in a clean and neat condition. Grade site surface to prevent free standing surface water.
