Before any embankment or fill is placed, the entire area shall be cleared, as previously specified. If the embankments and fills are being constructed during the winter time, snow and ice shall be removed from the area. The site shall be thoroughly plowed before any of the fill is placed to insure a proper bonding of the materials.
So far as it is practicable, each layer of material shall extend the entire length and width of the embankment or fill. Layers shall be not more than six inches in thickness when in loose condition and shall be thoroughly compacted by sheepsfoot roller or other approved means before the next layer is started.
Where shown on the drawings or when directed by the Engineer, embankments and fills shall be further compacted by jetting or water soaking. When completed, the embankment shall be of the size, elevation and cross-section shown on the drawings.
