BROADCAST SEED{NG: The seed or seed mixture in the quantity specified sha11 be uniformly distributed over the areas shown an the Drawings and wtisre di�ected. {f the sowing of seed is by hand, rather than by mechanical methods, the seed shal! be sown in two directions at right angles to each other. Seed and fertilizer shal! be distributed at the same time provided the specified uniform rate of appfication for both is obtained. `'Finishing" as specified in Section D-46, Construction Methods, is not applicable since no seed bed preparation is required.

Grade adjustment rings shali also rest on two (2) rows of bitumastic joint sealant. D. SEALING ANDIOR ADJUSTING EXISTING MA�IHOLES Excavate (rectangular full depth saw cut if in pavement) adjacent to the manhole to expose the entire manhole frame and a minimum of 6 inches of the manhole wall keeping the sides of the trench nearly verkical. 1. Remove manhofe frame from the manhole structure and observe the condition of the frame. The existing frame shafi be used wherever possibie. Any existing frame shail be used wherever possible. Any firame that is not suitable for use as determined by the Engineer shall be replaced.� Separate and observe the condition of the grade adjustment rings. If the grade rings are loose, deteriorated, broken, or show structural defects, replace them in accordance with these specifications. Replace adjustments that are constructed of brick, block, or materials other than precast concrete with precast concrete rings, or where necessary, and approved by the Engineer, a precast flattop section. • Precast concrefe rings, or a precast concrete flattop section will be the only adjustments a!lowed. 2. In brick or block manhofes where it is difficuft to determine where grade adjustments and wa11s meet, replace the upper portion of the manhole to a point 24 inches below the frame. lf the walls or cone section below fhis level are structurally unsound, notify the Engineer prior to replacement of the grade adjustmenis or manhole frame. Existing brickwork, which is structu�ally satisfactory, if damaged by the Contractor, shall be replaced at the Contractor's expense. 3. Wire brush manhole frame and exposed manhole surfaces to remove dirt and loose debris. Coat exposed manhole surfaces with an approved bonding agent fo1{owed with an application of a quick setting hydraulic cement to provide a smooth working surface. 4. 5 If the inside diameter of the manhole is too large to safely support new adjustment rings or frame, a flattop section shall be installed. Joint surfaces befween the frame, adjustment rings and cone section shall be free of dirt, stones and voids to ensure a watertight seal. Please a flexible gasket joint material in two MJS-2 l!J L■J � � � LJ i [�J concentric rings along the inside and outside edge of each joint, or use tro�velable material in lieu of preformed gasket material. Position the butt joint of each length of joint material on opposite sides of the manhole. Not steel shims, wood, stones, or any material not specifically accepted by the Engineer may be used to obtain final surface elevation of the manhole frame. 6. in paved areas or future paved areas, casiings shalf be instailed by using a straight edge not less than ten (10) feet long so that the top of casting will conform to the slope and finish elevation of the paved surface. The top of the casting shall be 1/8 inch below the finished elevation. Allowances for the compression of the joint material shall be made to assure a proper final grade elevation. 7. Manhole rims in parkways, lawns and other improved lands shali be at an elevation not more than (1) inch or less than one half (1/2) inch above the surrounding ground. Backfili shall provide a uniform slope from the stop of manhole casting for not less than three (3) feet each direction to existing finish grade of the ground. The grade of aN surfaces shall be checked for proper slope and grade by string lining the entire area regraded near the a 8. L�! l�J � � � � � �' i�� manhole. Manholes in open fields, unimproved land, or drainage courses shall be at an elevation shown on the drawings or minimum of 6 inches above grade. E. MEASUREMENT AND.
