Excavation in Poor Soil or Rock Where the bottom of the trench at subgrade is found to be unstable or to include ashes, cinders, all types of recuse, vegetable or other organic material, large pieces or fragmr�ts of inorganic material, or rock, which in the judgment of the Inspector should be removed, the Contractor shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the width and depth ordered by the Inspector. Before the pipe is laid, the subgrade shall be made by backfilling with an approved nkiterial in 3" uncorcpacted layers. The layers shall be thoroughly tamped as directed by the Inspector so as to provide a continuous bearing and support for the pipe at every point between the bell holes. The finished subgrade shall be prepared accurately by means of hand tools.

Where sheeting and bracing are used the trench width shall be increased accordingly. The Inspector reserves the right to order the sheeting driven to the full depth of the trench or to such additional depths as may be required for the protection of the work. Where the soil in the lower limits of a trench has (25) the necessary stability, the Inspector, at his discretion, may permit the Contractor to stop the driving of sheeting at some designated elevation above the trench bottom. The granting of permission by the Inspector, however, Shall not relieve the Contractor in any degree frau his full responsibility under the contract. Sheeting and bracing which have been ordered left in place must be removed for a distance of 3 feet below'the dstablished street grade or the existing surface of the street, whichever is lower. Trench bracing, except that which must be left in place, may be remcved when the backfilling has reached the respective levels of such bracing. Sheeting, except that which has been left in place, may be removed after the backfilling has been cm-pleted or has been brought up to such an elevation as to permit its safe removal. Sheeting and bracing may be removed before flushing the trench, but only in such manner as will insure the adequate protection of the canpleted water and/or sewer structures, and prevent the disturbance of adjacent ground.

II-J-2. Duration of Pressure Test The duration of each pressure test shall be at least one hour. II-J-3. Procedure Each valve section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water and the specified test pressure, based on the elevation of the lost point of the line or section under test and corrected to the elevation of the test gage, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Inspector. II-J-4. Expelling Air before Test (33) More applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. If hydrants or blao-offs are not available at high places, taps at points of highest elevation shall be made before the test is made, and plugs inserted after the test has been completed. II--J-S. Examination under Pressure All exposed pipes, fittings, valves, hydrants and joints shall be carefully examined during the open-trench test.: Joints showing visible leaks shall be recalked until tight. Any cracked or defective pipe, fittings, valves or hydrants discovered in consequence of this pressure test shall be removed and replaced with sound material, and the test shall be repeated until satisfactory to the Inspector. II-J-6. Leakage Test A leakage test shall be conducted after the pressure test has been satisfactorily completed.

Leakage is defined as the quantity of water to be supplied into the new laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, necessary to maintain the specified leakage test pressure after the pipe has been filled with water and the air expelled. No pipe installation will be accepted until the leakage is less than the number of gallons per hour as determined by the formula: L = ND P/1,850 in which L equals the allowable leakage in gallons per hour; N is the number of joints in the length of piW tested; D is the normal diameter of the pipe, in inches; and P is the average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per square inch gage- II-J-7. Variation from Permissible Leakage Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that specified in Section II-J-6, the defective joints shall be located and repaired until the leakage is within the specified allowance. II-J-8. Time for Making Test of Pipe Lead-jointed pipe may be subjected to hydrostatic pressure and inspected and tested for leakage at any convenient time after the trench has been partially backfilled except at the joints. Where any section of a main is provided with concrete reaction backing, the hydrostatic pressure test shall not be made until at least five days have elapsed after the concrete reaction backing is installed. If high-early-strength cement is used in the concrete reaction backing, the hydrostatic pressure test shall not be made until at least two days have elapsed. II-,J-9. Interruption of Service No valve or other control on the existing system shall be operated for any purpose by the contractor. The City will operate all valves, hydrants, blowoffs and curb stops. II-K DISINFECTION II-K-l. Form of Chlorine and Nuns of Application Before being placed in service, all new water distribution system and repaired portions of, or extensions to, existing systems shall be chlorinated. If the available water is more alkaline than pH 8, the holding time in the main shall be increased at the discretion of the engineer. (34) . G s II-K-2. Form of Applied Chlorine E Any of the following methods of procedure (arranged in order of preference) �E shall be followed, subject to the approval of the engineer: Liquid chlorine gas-water mixture Direct chlorine feed.............. Calcium or sodium hypochlorite and water mixture..............:.....t Chlorinated lime and water mixture II-K-3. Liquid Chlorine A chlorine gas-water mixture shall be applied by means of a solution-feed chlorinating device, or, if approved by the engineer, the dry gas may be fed directly through proper devices for regulating the rate of flow and providing effective diffusion of the gas into the water within the pipe being treated. Chlorinating devices for feeding solutions of the chlorine gas or the gas itself must provide means for preventing the backflow of water into the chlorine cylinder. II-K-4. Chlorine bearing Compounds in Water on approval of the engineer, a mixture of water and a chlorine-bearing compound of know chlorine content may be substituted as an alternative for liquid chlorine. II-K-4.1. Chlorine bearing Compounds The chlorine-bearing compounds which may be used are: (1) calcium hypochlorite, (comparable to ccnanercial products laxown as "HTH," "Perchloron" and "Pittchlor"), (2) chlorinated lime (frequently called chloride of lime and known to industry as bleaching pawder) and (3) sodium hypochlorite. R.' 11-K-4.2. Proportions of Mixtures A 5 percent solution of the parer shall be prepared, consisting of 5 percent �. of powder to 95 percent of water by weight, due attention being given to the chlorine content of the product used. The calcium hypochlorite or chlorinated lime and water mixture, first made into a paste and then thinned to a slurry with clean water, shall be injected or pumped into the newly laid pipe after preliminary flushing. If sodium hypochlorite is used mix the solution as purchased, with water to obtain the desired concentration of chlorine and feed into the pipe under treatment in the same manner as is used for feeding other hypochlorites. II-K-5. Point of Application The preferred point of application of the chlorinating agent shall be at the beginning of the pipeline extension or any valved section of it and through a corporation stop inserted by the owner (except in new distribution system) in the top of the newly laid pipe. The water injector for delivering the chlorine-bearing water into the pipe should be supplied from a tap on the pressure side of the gate valve controlling the flow into the pipeline extension. In a new system, application of chlorine may be made i advantageously at the pumping station, the elevated tank, the standpipe or the reservoir. When properly cleaned first, these units are thus chlorinated adequately- II-K-6. Rate of Application Water from the existing distribution system or other source of supply shall be controlled so as to flow slowly into the newly laid pipeline during the application of chlorine. The rate of chlorine mixture flow shall be in such proportion to the rate of water entering the pipe that the chlorine dose applied to the water entering the newly laid pipe shall be at least 40 to 50 ppm. This may require as much as 100 ppm. of chlorine in the water left in the line after chlorination. A convenient method of determining the rate of flow of water into the line to be treated is to start with the line full of water and measure the rate of discharge at a hydrant with a pilot gage. Great flexibility is made possible by providing a series of orifices to give good gage readings at high and low flows. (35) II-K-7. Preventing Reverse Flow Valves shall be manipulated so that the strong chlorine solution in the lane being treated will not flow back into the line supplying the water. 11-K-8. Retention Period Treated water shall be retained an the pipe long enough to destroy all nonspore-forming bacteria. This period should be at least 24 hours and preferably longer, as may be directed. After the chlorine-treated water has been retained for the required time, the chlorine residual at the pipe extremeties and at other representative points should be at least 25 ppm. II-K-9. Chlorinating Valves and Hydrants In the process of chlorinating newly laid pipe, all valves or other appurtenances shall be operated while the pipeline is filled with the �` . chlorinating agent. II-K-10. Final Flushing and Test Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly flushed from the newly laid pipeline at its extremities until the replacement water throughout its length shall, upon test, be proved comparable to the quality of water served the public from the existing water supply system. This quality of water delivered by the new main should continue for a period of at least two full days as demonstrated by laboratory examination of samples taken from a tap located and installed in such a way as to prevent outside contamination. II-K-11. Repetition of Procedure Should the initial treatment fail to result in the conditions specified in Section K-10, the chlorination procedure shall be repeated until such results are obtained. III - SEWER MAINS IIIA MATERIALS TO .BE USS} III-A-1. Pape and Fittings All sewer mains shall be cement-asbestos with a minimum inside diameter of 8". No other specifications for concrete, or cement asbestos sewers are herein contained. The use of other materials is not prohibited and may be done under standard specifications submitted to and approved by the Board of Public works. II-A-2. Manholes Manholes shall be constructed at every change of line or grade of the sewer main, at every main intersection or branch, (except branches for house connections) and in straight runs of main so that the distance between manholes shall not exceed 300 feet, except where the grade of the sewer is more than five (5) feet in one hundred (100) feet the distance between the manholes shall not exceed two hundred fifty (250) feet. Manholes may be pre-cast of concrete masonry of 1-2-4 concrete, using tight smooth forms, or standard cement manhole blocks formed especially for four foot manholes. Manholes may be built of brick masonry using hard pressed brick. Every fifth course of brick shall be laid as stretchers, the remainder to be headers. Every brick shall have full mortar joints on the bottom and sides which shall be formed at one operation by placing sufficient mortar on the bed and forcing the brick into it. Horizontal joints shall not exceed 318" and vertical joints on the inside of the manholes shall not exceed 4". Joints on the inside face are to be carefully rubbed full and struck as a manhole is built. The outside of the manhole shall be smoothly and evenly plastered with cement mortar one-half inch thick. such plaster coat shall be applied (36) in one operation after all brick has been 'place and must not be applied by the mason working within the manhole as the brick courses are laid up. Plaster shall be proportioned I part Portland cement to two and one-half (2h) parts mortar sand. Manhole Bottoms. Inverts of manholes shall be formed by running the sewer pipe through the manhole cutting out the top half of the pipe after the manhole has been completed. Concrete-bottans of manholes shall be placed in two layers. The tap of the bottan layer shall be level with the horizontal diameter of the pipe, and upon this layer the brick masonry shall be started. The depth of this concrete shall be everywhere at least six (6) inches thick. Particular care must be exercised to insure this depth under the invert. After the top of the pipe has been cut off and the invert left in the concrete base, a second concrete floor must be applied on top of the original bottom to the height of the top of the sewer pipe leaving the manhole. This floor shall be neatly shaped to meet the cut half of the sewer pipe, and shall serve to confine the sewage frau overflowing on the manhole bottom if the sewer should flow more than half full. Where invert of manhole is below ground water level, manholes shall be waterproof on the outside of the plaster coat with suitable bitmanous waterproofing to a line one foot higher thimi the apparent ground water level. In wet trenches water shall be kept drained away frau manholes until the concrete work is set. No backfilling shall be done until the plaster coat on the outside of the manhole shall have set for twenty-four hours. In freezing weather customary precautions of heating materials and after pretection shall be followed. Steps. Steps of cast iron or of galvanized wrought iron, 3/4" in diameter, shall be securely placed in the inside of the manhole during construction, not more than 18 inches apart. Diameter. Manholes five (5) feet deep or less shall have an inside diameter of tour 4) feet at the bottom. Manholes ten (10) feet deep shall be five (5) feet in inside diameter acid at intermediate depths the diameter shall be in proportion. Frames and Covers. Manhole covers shall be set to the grade given by the Inspector. Covers of manholes in streets shall correspond to the type used and approved by the City of Ithaca in 1932, frame and cover to weigh not less than 480 lbs.

III-F TESTING III-F-1. Cleaning and -Flushing The interior of the sewer shall, as the work progresses, be cleared of all dirt, surplus joint material and superfluous material of every descripticn. No sewer main shall be finally joined to the City System until it has been satisfactorily cleaned and flushed. III-F-2. Testing On a completion of any sewer or such portion of the same as may be directed, and before any connection has been made therewith, the sewer may be tested for leakage or infiltration of ground water an the order of the Inspector. Contractors shall supply all facilities for mak-N such tests. It is the intent of these specifications to have the sewer so constructed that the quantity of infiltration will be kept at a minimum. The allowable leakage shall not exceed a rate of flow of 175 gallons per 24 hours per inch of diameter per 1,000 linear feet of sewer tested. Should any leaky or defective joints or def:!.-tive construction be found they shall be prcaptly made good, and should any defective pipes or specials be discovered they shall be replaced with sound pipes or specials in a satisfactory manner and without cost to the City.

(48) 2.6 Municipality's lity's Right of Revision The municipality reserves the right to establish by ordinance more stringent limitations or requirements on discharge to the wastewater disposal system if deemed necessary to conply with the objectives presented in Section 1.1 of this Part. 2.7 Excessive Discharge No user shall ever increase the use 9f process water or in any way,, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the limitations contained in the Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards, or in any other pollutant-specific limitation developed by the municipality or State unless authorized by the State or Federal regulations. (Comment: Dilution may be an acceptable means of complying with sm-&-- of the prohibitions set forth in Section 2.1, e.g., the pH prohibition.) 2.8 Accidential Discharges Each user shall be provided protection from accidental discharge or prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this law. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or user's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procxAures to provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes from significant contributing industries shall be submitted to the Mmucipality for review and shall be acceptable to the Municipality before construction of the facilities. All existing users shall complete such a plan by January 1, 1984. No user who commences contribution to the POTW after the effective date of this law shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge procedures have been approved by the municipality. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the*user's facility as necessary to meet the requirat-tarits of this law. In the case of an accidental discharge, it is the responsibility of the user to immediately telephone and notify the POTW of the incidelit- The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concQntration and volume, and corrective actions.
