<br />High Rock Road Waste and Recycling Center Improvements 32 92 00 - 6 <br />Orange County, North Carolina JULY 2021 <br />DAA PN: R00592-213N <br /> <br />D. Spread planting soil mixture to depth required to meet thickness, grades, and eleva- <br />tions shown, after light rolling and natural settlement. Do not spread if planting soil or <br />subgrade is frozen. <br />E. Preparation of Unchanged Grades: Where lawns are to be planted in areas unaltered <br />or undisturbed by excavating, grading, or surface soil stripping operations, prepare <br />soil as follows: <br />1. Apply weed killer two (2) weeks prior to removing existing cover. <br />2. Remove and dispose of existing grass, vegetation, and turf. Do not turn over into <br />soil being prepared for lawns. <br />3. Till surface soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. Apply required soil amendments <br />and initial fertilizers and mix thoroughly into top 4 inches of soil. Trim high areas <br />and fill in depressions. Till soil to a homogenous mixture of fine texture. <br />4. Clean surface soil of roots, plants, sod, stones, clay lumps, and other extraneous <br />materials harmful to plant growth. <br />5. Remove waste material, including grass, vegetation, and turf, and legally dispose <br />of it off the Owner's property. <br />F. Finish grade lawn and grass areas to a smooth, even surface with loose, uniformly fi- <br />ne texture. Roll and rake, remove ridges, and fill depressions to meet finish grades. <br />Limit fine grading to areas that can be planted in the immediate future. Remove trash, <br />debris, stones larger than 1 inches in any dimension, and other objects that may inter- <br />fere with planting or maintenance operations. <br />G. Moisten prepared lawn areas before planting when soil is dry. Water thoroughly and <br />allow surface to dry before planting. Do not create muddy soil. <br />H. Restore prepared areas if eroded or otherwise disturbed after fine grading and before <br />planting. <br />3.5 SEEDING NEW LAWNS <br />A. Sow seed with a spreader or a seeding machine. Do not broadcast or drop seed when <br />wind velocity exceeds 5 mph. Evenly distribute seed by sowing equal quantities in 2 <br />directions at right angles to each other. <br />1. Do not use wet seed or seed that is moldy or otherwise damaged in transit or stor- <br />age. <br />2. Sow seed at the indicated in the planting schedules at the end of Part 3. <br />B. Rake seed lightly into top 1/8 inch of topsoil, roll lightly, and water with fine spray. <br />C. Protect seeded slopes exceeding 1:3 against erosion with erosion -control blankets in- <br />stalled and stapled according to manufacturer's recommendations. <br />D. Mulch seeded areas by spreading straw mulch after completion of seeding opera- <br />tions. Spread uniformly at a minimum rate of 2 tons per acre to form a continuous <br />blanket 1-1/2 inches loose depth over seeded areas. Spread by hand, blower, or other <br />suitable equipment. <br />1. Anchor straw mulch by spraying with asphalt-emulsion tackifier at the rate of 10 to <br />13 gal. per 1000 sq.
