Ensure that all side slopes of all waste areas do not reduce horizontal sight
distance as defined by the current version of the Department’s Location and
Design Manual.
Have the proposed borrow and waste areas reviewed by an environmental
consultant that is pre-qualified by the Department for ecological work. Have the
environmental consultant certify that the proposed borrow and waste operations
will not impact the “Waters of the United States” or an isolated wetland. If
consultant certification is not provided, obtain the 404/401 permits necessary to
perform the operations as proposed. Have the environmental consultant certify
that the work conforms to the requirements of the permit(s). Provide all
documentation submitted to obtain the appropriate permit(s) and a copy of the
permit(s) to the Department’s Office of Environmental Services.
If burning is permitted under the OAC-3745-19 and ORC 1503.18, submit a
copy of the Ohio EPA permit and the Ohio DNR permit to the Engineer and copies
of all information used to obtain the permit.
Prior to the disposal of waste materials, submit to the Department an executed
copy of the Contract or permission statement from the property owner. The
Contract or permission statement must indicate that the waste materials are not the
property of the Department. Further, it must expressly state that the Department is
not a party to the Contract or permission statement and that the Contractor and
property owner will hold the Department harmless from claims that may arise from
their contract or permission statement.
Restoration of all borrow or waste areas includes cleanup, shaping, replacement
of topsoil, and establishment of vegetative cover by seeding and mulching
according to 104.04 and Item 659. Ensure the restored area is well drained unless
approval is given by the Engineer to convert a pit area into a pond or lake, in
which case confine restoration measures to the disturbed areas above the
anticipated normal water level. The cost of work described herein is incidental to
the Contract.
For waste sites shown on the plan, the plan will indicate if the clearances have
or have not been obtained for the project right-of-way locations. No extension of
time or additional compensation will be paid for any delays due to not having the
written permit(s) to waste in a floodplain.
The allowed use of Project Right-of-Way and other Department property for
borrow and waste is detailed in 104.03 and 107.11.
Borrow and Waste Area shall adhere to 107.10.
105.17 Construction and Demolition Debris. OAC-3745-37, OAC-3745-
400, and ORC Chapter 3714 regulates the use and disposal of construction and
demolition debris. Notify the local Board of Health or the local Ohio EPA office 7
days before placing clean hard fill off the Right-of-Way. Submit copies of this
notification to the Engineer.
Legally dispose of debris containing wood, road metal, or plaster at a licensed
construction and demolition debris site.
