U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Readiness Branch 1222 Spruce Street St. Louis, Missouri 63103-2833 ATTN: Jeremy Eck,or Jeremy.L.Eck@usace.army.mil

REQUESTER: Adams Telephone CO-OP, Attention: Mr. Ryan Buehler

LOCATION: McGee Creek Drainage and Levee District, Pike County, Illinois

PROPOSED ACTION: The applicant is proposing alterations to install a 2-inch Fiber Optic Line and a corresponding 4-inch protective steel conduit over McGee Creek's levee. This fiber optic line will go up and over the levee at approximate levee station 701 +00, or just south of the Hwy 104 bridge over McGee Creek near Chambersburg. More specifically, the proposed project will involve stripping the vegetation and excavation of the unfavorable materials within the construction limits. The protection pipe will be ran up and over the levee then covered with 2 feet of material. The area will then be seeded and left in favorable condition.

GENERAL NOTESA. THE UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS ENGINEERING MANUAL 1110-2-1913 METHODS FOR UTILITIES CROSSINGS SHALL BE FOLLOWED THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. ANY

QUESTIONS AS TO THE APPLICABILITY OR IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE DESIGN STANDARDS SHALL BE COORDINATED WITH USACE MVS (ST. LOUIS DISTRICT) THROUGH THE ENGINEER (KLINGNER).B. PERMANENT WARNING SIGNS SHALL INDICATE THE FIBER OPTIC LINE LOCATION ON BOTH THE LANDSIDE AND RIVERSIDE OF THE LEVEE ON THE EDGE OF THE LEVEE RIGHT-OF-WAY. SIGNS SHALL BE PLACED OUTSIDE

THE LEVEE PRISM OR BEYOND THE RESPECTIVE LEVEE TOE LOCATIONS. LEVEE RIGHT-OF-WAY SHALL BE STAKED DURING CONSTRUCTION AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTRACTOR.C. THE PROPOSED FIBER OPTIC LINE SHALL BE COVERED WITH 2 FT OF EXISTING IMPERVIOUS MATERIAL, WITH A MINIMUM 10 FT SEPARATION FROM EXISTING FIBER OPTIC LINE, WHILE MAINTAINING EXISTING LEVEE

TOP WIDTH AND ELEVATION (ELEVATION ON TOP OF LEVEE OVER PROPOSED LINE SHOULD EQUAL THE ELEVATION OF FILL OVER EXISTING FIBER OPTIC LINE). ORIGINAL LEVEE SECTION SHALL NOT BE DISTURBED.D. PROPOSED FIBER OPTIC LINE SHALL BE LAID ON IL 104 RIGHT-OF-WAY, UTILIZING EXISTING FILL FROM PREVIOUS FIBER OPTIC LINE. THE LEVEE TOP SHALL BE MADE CROSSABLE, WITH APPROACHING SLOPES OF 10

HORIZONTAL TO 1 VERTICAL, PERPENDICULAR TO THE FIBER OPTIC CROSSINGS.E. FINAL PROJECT SHALL BE FOUND ACCEPTABLE AND APPROVED BY MCGEE CREEK DRAINAGE & LEVEE DISTRICT.F. ALL WORK SHALL BE UNDER ONE YEAR WARRANTY INCLUDING EROSION.G. CONTRACTOR TO PROVED 48 HOUR NOTICE TO LEVEE DISTRICT AND ENGINEER PRIOR TO PROCEEDING AND SHALL COORDINATE FINAL INSPECTION.H. INDICATED QUANTITIES ARE FOR ESTIMATING REFERENCE ONLY. ANY VARIATION OF IN QUANTITIES TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS PLAN SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR.

STRIPPING

THE ENTIRE AREA WITHIN THE LIMITS OF EXISTING GROUND TO RECEIVE EMBANKMENT AND STRUCTURES, TOGETHER WITH STRIPS 5 FEET WIDE, BEYOND AND CONTIGUOUS THERETO, EXISTING LEVEES TO RECEIVEBACKILL, PONDING AREAS, AND DITCHES SHOWN ON THE DRAWING SHALL BE STRIPPED TO REMOVE CROPS, WEEDS, GRASS, AND OTHER VEGETATIVE MATERIALS TO THE GROUND SURFACE AND TOPSOIL TO A DEPTH OF12 INCHES. ALL STRIPPED VEGETATION SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE SITE BY THE CONTRACTOR.

EXCAVATION AND STOCKPILING

EXCAVATION SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTIVITIES ONLY WITHIN OVERBUILT SECTIONS OF THE LEVEE. EXCAVATION WITHIN THE LEVEE PRISM OR FOOTPRINT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.IMPERVIOUS FILL REQUIREMENTS

A. SOIL CLASSIFICATION TESTSSOIL CLASSIFICATION TESTS SHALL BE PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM D2487. ONE INITIAL CLASSIFICATION TEST SHALL BE REQUIRED FOR EACH CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIAL TO BE UTILIZED AS EMBANKMENTFILL OR BACKFILL. AS PRESCRIBED IN ASTM D2487, GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM D422 AND ATTERBERG LIMITS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM D4318 SHALL BE PERFORMED ON EACH DIFFERENTCLASSIFICATION. SUBMIT ADDITIONAL TESTS FOR EVERY 500 CUBIC YARDS OF EMBANKMENT OF BACKFILL MATERIAL OR AS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE. SOIL CLASSIFICATION TESTS SHALL BEPERFORMED ON FOUNDATION MATERIAL AS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE THE ACCEPTABILITY OF IN-SITU SOILS. ADDITIONAL TESTS WILL BE REQUIRED IF NOTICEABLE CHANGES IN THE MATERIAL OCCUR.

B. IMPERVIOUS FILL MATERIALTHIS MATERIAL SHALL CONSIST OF SATISFACTORY IMPERVIOUS MATERIAL CLASSIFIED AS LEAN CLAY (CL), LOW PLASTICITY SILT (ML), HIGH PLASTICITY SILT (MH), SAND CONTAINING MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF CLAY (CL),AND BORDERLINE CLAY AND SILT (CL-ML) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM D2487.

C. IMPERVIOUS FILL PLACEMENTTHE IMPERVIOUS FILL MATERIAL SHALL BE PLACED AND SPREAD IN LAYERS NOT MORE THAN 6 INCHES IN UNCOMPACTED THICKNESS, EXCEPT THAT WITHIN 4 FEET OF STRUCTURES, THE UNCOMPACTED LAYER THICKNESSSHALL BE REDUCED TO 4 INCHES. LAYERS SHOULD BE STARTED FULL OUT TO THE SLOPE STAKES AND SHALL BE CARRIED SUBSTANTIALLY HORIZONTAL AND PARALLEL TO THE LEVEE CENTERLINE WITH SUFFICIENT CROWNOR SLOPE TO PROVIDE SATISFACTORY DRAINAGE DURING CONSTRUCTION.

D. IMPERVIOUS FILL MOISTURETHE MOISTURE CONTENT AFTER COMPACTION SHALL BE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF 2 PERCENTAGE POINTS ABOVE AND BELOW OPTIMUM OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT AS DETERMINED BY ASTM D698.

E. COMPACTION OF IMPERVIOUS FILLAFTER A LAYER OF MATERIAL HAS BEEN DUMPED AND SPREAD, IT SHALL BE HARROWED TO BREAK UP AND BLEND THE FILL MATERIALS AND TO OBTAIN UNIFORM MOISTURE DISTRIBUTION. HARROWING SHALL BEPERFORMED WITH A HEAVY DISK PLOW, OR OTHER APPROVED HARROW, TO THE FULL DEPTH OF THE LAYER. IF ONE PASS OF THE HARROW DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH THE BREAKING UP AND BLENDING OF THE MATERIALS,ADDITIONAL PASSES OF THE HARROW SHALL BE REQUIRED. WHEN THE MOISTURE CONTENT AND THE CONDITION OF THE LAYER ARE SATISFACTORY, THE LIFT SHALL BE COMPACTED TRAVERSING IN A DIRECTION PARALLELTO THE AXIS OF THE LEVEE TO A MINIMUM OF 95 PERCENT OF THE MAXIMUM DRY DENSITY AS DETERMINED BY THE CONTRACTOR OR CONTRACTOR'S REPRESENTATIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM D698. IN AREASWHICH ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE BY LARGE EQUIPMENT, THE FILL SHALL BE PLACED IN LAYERS NOT MORE THAN 4 INCHES IN UNCOMPACTED DEPTH AND COMPACTED WITH AN APPROVED HAND OPERATED COMPACTOR TO ADENSITY EQUAL TO THAT OBTAINED IN OTHER AREAS WHICH ARE ACCESSIBLE TO LARGE EQUIPMENT. DUMPING, SPREADING, SPRINKLING, AND COMPACTING MAY BE PERFORMED AT THE SAME TIME AT DIFFERENTPOINTS ALONG A SECTION WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT AREA TO PERMIT THESE OPERATIONS TO PROCEED SIMULTANEOUSLY.SEEDING REQUIREMENTS
