Any fertilizer which becomes caked or otherwise damaged prior to the time of use will be- rej ected. I I I Mulch: Any of the mulch materials, consisting of forest litter, hay, straw, hulls of cottonballs or peanuts, ground corncobs, stalks of corn, cane, potato vines, tobacco or other stems, or peat, which are permitted under Standard Specificati,)ns of the State Highway Department of Georgia will be acceptable providing they are properly shredded or ground. Mulch materials which contain' seeds of species of weeds or plants which would germinate and be harmful to the proposed planting will not be accepted. Before collection of mulch material is begun or delivery is made, the Contractor shall submi t samples for approval. Only approved mulch from approved sources will be accepted~ I I Water for use in connection with the grassing operation may be purchased ,from Augusta-Richmond Utili ties Department, or obtained from any other approved source. Such ,l1ater shall be free of excess chlorine, or other chemicals or substances harmful to plant growth. I GROUND PREPARATION: I Prior to preparing the ground for grassing operations, all weeds, brush and other vegetation in the areas to be planted which has not been removed 9620 GRASSING T7-1 I I I during clearing and grubbing and grading operations shall be ,removed from the site. All irregularities in the surface shall be smoothed out and all roots, stone and other foreign material detrimental to tillage, planting and proper growth and maintenance of the grass shall be removed. In all areas where the topsoil has been removed during grading operations, the topsoil which has been stockpiled shall be returned and evenly distributed over these,areas. Objectionable foreign materials contained in the topsoil shall also be removed as the topsoil is distributed. I I LIMING AND FERTILIZING: I I After the areas to be seeded have been brought to finished grade, agricultural lime and fertilizer conforming to the requirements of this specification shall be uniformly distributed over the areas, lime at the rate of one ton per acre and fertilizer at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre. In areas where mechanical spreaders cannot be used, the lime and fertilizer may be applied by hand methods. The lime and fertilizer shall not be applied when the wind makes it difficult to obtain satisfactory distribution. I TILLAGE: I The lime and fertilizer shall be thoroughly and uniformly mixed with the soil to a depth of approximately 3" by plowing, discing and harrowing until the soil is friable and well pulverized. Hand tillage will be required in all areas where mechanical equipment cannot be operated. I SEEDING: I Hulled Bermuda grass seed conforming to the requirements of this specification shall be uniformly sown by approved mechanical power drawn' drills or seeders or, in small, areas, by mechanical hand seeders, at the rate of 40 pounds per acre. The seeds shall be covered and compacted to a depth of 1/8 to 1/2 inch by means of a cui tipacker and an empty traffic roller or another roller weighing less than 3 tons.

Seed shall not be sown unless the soil has the optimum moisture content or more through a depth of at least 3 inches. I I WATERING: I After the seeds have been sown, the' moisture content of the soil will be tested. If 'there is not enough moisture in the soil to insure germination and adequate plant growth, water shall be applied by sprinkling until an adequate moisture content has been reached. In the absence of adequate rainfall during the germination and early growtr. period, the Contractor will be required to maintain the required adequate moisture content of the soil by periodic sprinkling operations. I I MULCHING: I Mulching of seeded areas will not be required but may be employed at the option of the Contractor as an aid in reducing eroding and conserving soil moisture. If employed, the mulch shall conform to the requirements of this specification. The rate of application of the mulch depends on the texture of the mulch. The proper application will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate, at the same' tim!,! shading the ground. If desired, immediately after the mulch is'spread, the material may be anchored to the soil by a cultipacker, disc harrow, or other suitable equipment. I I 9620 GRASSING T7-2 I I I ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE: I The Contractor is responsible for providing a satisfactory stand of living seeded grass in which gaps larger than 12 inches do not occur at the time of acceptance of the project. Any areas which fail to show a uniform stand for any reason whatsoever, shall be reseeded with Hulled Ber~uda seed, and such reseeding shall be repeated until acceptance by the Engineer. The Contractor shall properly water, mow and otherwise maintain all grassed areas and any damage resulting from erosion, washing or other causes, shall be repaired by fill topsoil, tamping, refertilizing and reseeding at no additional expense to the Owner, if such damage occurs prior to acceptance of the project. I I, GRASSING TO CONTROL EROSION: I In the event completion of grading operations of areas to be planted extends beyond ' the specified grassing periods, grassing must be postponed until the following spring season. The Contractor will be permitted to seed such areas with Rye grass at his own expense, or by mulching shall control erosion of the graded areas. All mowing and maintenance operations during ,the fall and winter seasons will be the obligation of the Contractor. Erosion must be contro'lled by acceptable methods to prevent damage to the Owner's property, to adjacent property owners, and to limit migration of silt to the streams.
