All portions of an excavation or street cut which lie within the curb lines of the street or other actual traveled portion of the street as designated by the City Administrator shall be back-filled according to standard public works specifications. On streets having asphaltic paving and/or impregnated surfaces, a minimum of 4 inches of compacted hot-mix asphaltic concrete shall be placed in the upper portions of the pavement cut and rolled and/or tamped to the grade of the surrounding pavement. The same standards shall be applied to sidewalks except when the sidewalk is composed of poured concrete, in which case the sidewalk, where cut, shall be replaced with concrete. On surfaced streets and on the shoulders of paved and surface streets, the permittee shall place a minimum of 8 inches of compacted crushed rock having a gradation of 1 minus, which shall be rolled and/or tamped to the grade of the surrounding surfacing. If the full depth of the cut exceeds 8 inches, it shall be entirely filled with a granular material of 1 minus gradation and rolled and/or tamped to the grade of the surrounding surfacing. All backfilling and resurfacing shall be inspected and approved by the Superintendent of Public Works.
