roadway is opened ro traffic. No passing zones shall be marked ro conform ro Section 150.04 E. During
construction and maintenance activities on all highways open to traffic, both existing markings and
markings applied under this Section shall be fully maintained until Final Acceptance. If the pavement
markings are, or become, unsatisfactory in the judgement of the Engineer due to wear, weathering,
or construction activities, they shall be restored immediately. On resurfacing projects pavement
markings shall be provided on,all surfaces that are placed over existing markings. On widening and
reconstruction projects (where the lane configuration is altered from the pre-construction layout)
pavement markings will be as required by the Plans or the Engineer. On new construction projects
pavement marking plans will be provided. -
B. MATERIALS: All traffic striping applied under this Section shall be a minimum four inches in width
and lihall conform to the requirements of Section 652, except as modified herein. Raised pavement
markers (RPMs) shall meet the requirements of Section 654. Markings on the fmal surface course
whk~ must be removed shall be a removable type. The Contractor will be permitted to use paint,
thennoplastic, or tape on pavement which is to be overlaid as part of the project, unless otherwise
direc:ed by the Engineer. Partial (skip) reflecrorization (i.e. reflectorizing only a portion of a stripe)
will not be allowed.
C. USAGE: The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of
markings in the fmallane configuration at the earliest possible stage.
Inappropriate or conflicting existing pavement markings shall be removed.
When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall
be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any change so as to present the least interference
with traffic.
Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the
project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be
repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary), sO' that the removal can be
accoDlplished without delay.
Except for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course,
when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is placed for the sole purpose
of eliIainating conflicting markings and the in place asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay
will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid
for only once and further traffic shift.s in the same area shall be accomplished with removable
markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines (generally 60 IbJsq.
yd. of Asphaltic Concrete "H") will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an
overlclY for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer
applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.02. The elimination of conflicting
pavement markings by overpainting with paint or liquid asphalt is not acceptable.
D. Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are required as listed below for all asphaltic concrete pavements
before the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an intermediate or fmal
surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed for cleaning and drying before the
installation of RPMs is required.

107.23 EIWIRONMENtAL CONSIDERATIONS: All environmental considerations and
c1earancell shall be the responsibility &f the County or municipality to meet,
including the requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344).
After July 1, 1991, State funded projects must comply with the requirements
of Chapter 16 of Ti tle 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the
Georgia E'nvironmental Policy Act (GEPA), of 1991. In compliance with GEPA,
those projects for which Federal funding is sought, ,and NEPA compliance is
accomplished, are exempt from the requi.rements of GEPA.
GEPA requires that environmental documentation be accomplished for County
or City projects if more than 50 percent of the total project cost is funded
by a gran: of a State Agency or a grant of more than $250,000 is made by the
State Agency to the municipality or County. The "responsible official of
the government agency shall determine if a proposed governmental action is
a proposed governmental action which may significantly adversely affect the
quality of the environment".
A. THE r:OLLOWING PROJECTS WOULD, NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
QUAl,ITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT:
Non-land disturbing ac~ivities and minor land disturbing activities
which would not be anticipated to significantly adversely affect the
quality of the environment include the follOWing list. These types
of projects funded with state money would not be subject to environmental
assessment of any kind. Hearing procedures outlined in GEPA would not
be applicable.
1. Minor roadway and non-historic bridge proje~ts.
a.
Modernization of an existing highway by resurfacing, restoration,
rehabilitation, adding shoulders, widening a single lane or
less in each direction, and the addition of a median within
previously disturbed existing right-of-way.
b.

6. TemporaFY replacement of a highway facility which is commenced
immediately after the occurrence of; a natural disaster or
catastrophic failure to restO't'e the highway for the health, .welfare,
and safety of the public.
B. THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS HAY NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE QUALITY
OF THE ENVIRONMENT:
I
For' projects which will cause land disturbance and for which there is
no anticipation that the project may significantly adversely affect
the quality of the environment, certain studies will be undertaken.
These studies would serve to document whether or not the County or
municipality should anticipate that a project might significantly
adversely affect the quality of the environment. Documentation of the
stl~dies will be accomplished through he use of the "GEPA Investigation
StlJdies" checklist.
Th.! types of project which would fall under the category would include:
1. Bridge replacement project on new location or with a detour bridge,
w~ere there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or
archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed
threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact
to wetlands.

Engineer and Testing Management Supervisor at all times. The Hot Mix Producer
shall provide at least one day's nctice prior to beginning production, or prior to
resuming production if operations have been temporarily suspended.
d. Provisions for reporting daily through Office of Materials and Research computer
Bulletin Board Service (BBS) the test results for extractions, lime checks, and
stripping tests.
Other tests, checks, calibrations, etc. will be reported on a form developed by the
Hot Mix Producer and shall become a part of the project records.
The Quality Control Program shall be submitted for approval plior to beginning
the Work.
2. CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: The Office of Materials and Research will
certify the Hot Mix Producer's Laboratory and testing equipment to assure that the
equipment to be used is accurate and meets Departmental testing standards.
Laboratories which participate in and maintain AASHTO Accreditation for testing
Asphaltic Concrete Mixtures will be acceptable for certification by the Department
provided other contract requirements are met.
The desigriated Quality Control personnel must be certified by the Office of Materials
and Research prior to commencement of work. There are two certification Levels for
Quality Control Technicians. To become a certified Level 1- Quality Control
Technician (QCT), such persons must be able to demonstrate that they are competent
in performing the process control and -acceptance tests and procedures related to Hot
Mix Asphaltic Concrete production. The Level 2-QCT shall, in addition to Level 1
requirements, be capable of and responsible for making process control adjustments.
The Engineer shall be notified in writing of any change in Quality Control personnel.

shall be measured and the results recorded at least once for each hour of production.
The respective load ticket shall also be signed by the QCT for each load from which a
sample is taken.
When hydrated lime is to be included in the mixture, calibration of the lime system
shall be checked for accuracy a minimum of twice weekly during production and the
results of these calibration checks shall be posted at the plant for review. Additionally,
records of materials (Asphalt Cement, Aggregates, Hydrated Lime, etc.) invoices shall
be made available for review upon request at all times for the duration of the work.
4. COMPARATIVE ANp QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM: Periodic
c:omparative testing will be required of each QCT and will be coordinated by the
Department to monitor consistency of equipment and test procedures. In addition, the
Department will take independent samples to monitor the Hot Mix Producer's Quality
Control Program. For clarification, Department samples taken from opposite quarters
of material sampled by the Hot Mix Producer are defined as Comparison Samples.
Other independent samples which are taken by the Department from material produced
during the same Lot are defined as Quality Assurance samples. This Program is
jurther defined as follows:
ll. Comparison Sampling and Testing: During the quartering process of Hot Mix
samples, the opposite quarters from the test specimen shall be labeled and retained
for D :partrnent comparison testing. In addition , the remaining material removed
from the total sample shall be labeled and retained for possible Referee testing.
These samples shall be stored in a suitable container and secured in a protected
environment. If the Hot Mix Producer's Acceptance Test results meet Mixture
Control Tolerances and if the Department does not procure these samples retained
within three working days of the represented mix being produced, these samples
may be discarded.
The Department will test comparison samples on a random basis at a frequency
deemed necessary to assure that the Hot Mix Producer's testing techniques are
yielding accurate results.
Results of Department tests will be compared to the respective Hot Mix Producer's
Acceptance tests. The maximum tolerance allowed for Comparison Samples as
defined above shall be as follows: -

If Comparison tests are within these tolerances, production may continue and at
the discretion of the Engineer, the Hot Mix Producers tests can be used as the
acceptance tests for the affected Lot. If test results are not within these tolerances,
the corresponding 'Referee Samples shall be tested by another Departmental
Technician and compared to the tolerance for Comparison Samples as given
above. -
If test Results of Referee Samples. when compared to the respective QCT's
sample, are within these tolerances. the Hot Mix Producer's tests can be used as
Acceptance Tests for the effected Lot. If tests results are not within these
tolerances. .-the Hot Mix Producers Quality Control methods shall be reviewed and
a thorough investigation will be made if deemed necessary.
b. Quality Assurance Sampling and Testing: The Department will take samples for
the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of the Hot Mix Producers
Quality Control Program. These samples may be obtained from the same load as
QCT samples were taken or other loads at the plant or roadway. or samples
obtained immediately behind the spreader and prior to compaction. The samples
will be tested and analyzed by the Department in accordance with standard
procedures.
The Department shall randomly take and test a minimum of two Quality Assurance
(QA) samples from each five days or five Lots of production regardless of mix
type or number of projects. to assure that the mixture is being adequately
controlled and accurately sampled and tested.
The maximum tolerance for QA samples as defined above. when compared to the
Job Mix Formula, shall be the same as the Mixture Control Tolerances as outlined
in Section 828. If test results are not within these tolerances. the Department may
take another sample from the respective mix. If tests results of the additional
sample are within these tolerances. production may continue. If test results of the
additional sample are not within these tolerances, the Department will investigate
by taking at least three random samples from throughout the Lot in accordance
with Subsection 400.07.F. These samples shall be used for Acceptance and the Hot
Mix Producer QCT test results for the respective Lot will not be included in the
Lot calculations.
