3. Any opening or impairment of any nature whatsoever of any improved surface within the Township right-of-way must be repaired immediately with a temporary two inch (2") depth of bituminous material and shall be maintained until permanent restoration is made.
4. The Township may at its option require the applicant immediately upon the completion of the backfilling of a trench to permanently replace the base course and wearing surface, or may within five (5) days from the date of the completion of the backfilling require the applicant at any time thereafter to temporarily close up or repair the openings in the pavement until such time as the pavement surface may be permanently restored, the expense of such temporary restoration of the surface, as well as the correction of any omissions in the backfilling to be at the expense of the permittee.

In the replacement or restoration of permanent roadway surfaces, the permittee shall cut back the surface and supporting base as far as may be deemed necessary by the Township Engineer to afford a good support upon firm earth or to remove any part of the surface and base which may become damaged by reason of the said excavation.
6. If the Inspector finds that paving surfaces adjacent to the street opening were damaged where trenches are made parallel to the street, or where a number of cross trenches are laid in close proximity to one another, or where the equipment used may cause such damage, he may require a negotiated contribution from the permittee for the resurfacing in place of patching of such street if the total area of the proposed patch or probably damaged area exceeds twenty-five (25) percent of the total pavement surfacing between curb faces or between concrete gutter edges in any block. Such negotiatons shall be carried on and contributions agreed upon proir to issuance of a permit.

10. The permittee shall restore the ground surface within the limits of the work covered by the permit to a condition equal to that existing prior to the opening of the trench, unless otherwise provided in that permit, and shall maintain it in such condition for a period of six (6) months after completion of the work, and shall be released only after satisfactory report by the Township Engineer, except where work of a similar character shall be done during the same six (6) month period within or adjacent to the limits of the work covered by this permit or affecting the same, by another permittee, pursuant to a permit duly issued by the Township.
