9,059 foot stretch to be modified. Riprap will be placed for
erosion control totalling 5,400 square yards. An access road
will be constructed between Boy Scout Pond and the adjacent hill.
Seven ditches entering the creek will be relocated. An upgrade
of the existing easement of the sanitary sewer line will function
as an access maintenance road. An area will be filled at the
confluence of Crane and Rae's Creek which will be a decrease to
the area of impact to the residential property from the original
proposal. The dike along Boy Scout Lake will be maintained and
in some parts relocated.
The Crane Creek portion of the project will consist of widening
by 12 feet approximately 300 feet of the 3,483 foot stretch. The
project will result in the excavation of 27,481 cubic yards of

-03. CONSTRUCTION:
The work shall be constructed ill accordance with the Plans and the
followingrequirements:
1. Excavation. Excavate as required to place the baskets. Remove unsuitable material
below the bottom of baskets and replace with acceptable material. Thoroughly
compact the entire foundation and finish to a firm, even surface, free of vegetation,
large stones, and other debris, with depressions filled. Dispose of unsuitable or
exCess material.
2. Placement of Plastic Filter Fabric. The woven plastic filter fabric shall be placed in
the manner and at the locations indicated on the Plans. The surface to receive fabric
shall be' prepared to a relatively smooth condition free from obstructions,
depressions, and debris. The fabric shall be placed with the long dimension running
up the slope and shall be placed to provide a minimum number of overlaps. The
strips shall be placed to provide a minimum width of 1 foot of overlap for each joint.
The filter fabric shall be anchored in place with securing pins of the type
recommended by the fabric manufacturer. Pins shall be placed on or within 3 inches
of the centerline of the overlap. The fabric shall be placed so that the upstream strip
will overlap the downstream strip. The fabric shall be placed loosely so as to give
and therefore avoid stretching and tearing during placement of the stones. The
fabric shall be protected at all times during construction from clogging due to clay,
silts, chemicals, or other contaminants. Any contaminated fabric shall be removed
and replaced with uncontaminated fabric at no expense to the Owner. Any fabric
damaged during its installation or during placement of gabions shall be replaced by
the Contractor at no additional cost.
3. Gabions. Assemble each gabion by binding the vertical edges together with lacing
wire or ring fasteners. The lacing wire procedure consists of cutting a length of
lacing wire approximately 1-112 times the distance to be laced, securing one end of
the wire at the corner by looping and twisting, alternately lacing with single and
double loops every other mesh opening at intervals of not more than six (6) inches
for Box Gabions and four (4) inches for Sack and Mattress Gabions, and securing the
other, end of the wire to selvedges by looping and twisting.
Fill the gabion with the specified aggregate. When filling baskets, use a standard
fence stretcher, chain fall, tie wires, or iron rod to stretch the baskets and to maintain
alignment. Carefully place aggregates in the baskets, making sure the sheathing is
not broken or damaged. After a basket has been filled, bend the lid over until it
meets the sides and eqges. Secure the lid to the sides, ends and diaphragms, using
lacing wire or fasteners in the manner specified for assembling.
