IN THE CASE OF CONFLICT, THE MORE RIGID SPECIFICATION OR STANDARD SHALL APPLY. NATIVE MATERIAL requires 80% compaction. Refer to SUB01X, Section 5.4.2. SAND requires 90% compaction. CRUSHED GRAVEL (or Type II subbase), requires 95% compaction. THE TOP 18" of all trenches in ESTABLISHED HIGHWAYS, STREETS, and other PAVED AREAS subject to traffic, shall be backfilled with CRUSHED GRAVEL. THE TOP 18" of all trenches on PRIVATE PROPERTY, (not subject to traffic) may be backfilled with NATIVE MATERIAL. Refer to SUB01X, Section 5.4.2.

Any deviation must be approved by the appropriate local SPPCO Inspector. 13. 14. GAS shall be 12" minimum from side of trench. GAS SHALL HAVE MINIMUM DEPTH TO TOP OF PIPE OF: 36" in State Highways; 30" in streets or roadways; 24" in private property; and maintain a minimum 12" radial clearance from all other utilities. Exceptions: SEWER AND STORM DRAIN SEWER (SS) and/or STORM DRAIN (SD) MUST MAINTAIN 2' RADIAL CLEARANCE FROM SPPCO. ELECTRIC/GAS. If 2' radial clearance cannot be obtained from electric, the electric conduit must be concrete encased at least 18" each side of conflicting utility. Refer to TE0004U for details. Gas must NOT be concrete encased. ELECTRIC (E) MUST MAINTAIN 2' RADIAL CLEARANCE FROM WATER MAIN. If 2' radial clearance cannot be obtained, electric conduit must be concrete encased at least 18" each side of conflicting utility Whenever possible, locate hydrant on opposite side of street from electric main trench. Refer to TE0045U for details. If field changes are required, all changes must be approved by a SPPCO Inspector.

Refer to SUB01X, Section 5.4.2. SAND requires 90% compaction. TYPE II aggregate base, requires 95% compaction. THE TOP 18" of all trenches in ESTABLISHED HIGHWAYS, STREETS, and other PAVED AREAS subject to traffic, shall be backfilled with TYPE II base. THE TOP 18" of all trenches on PRIVATE PROPERTY, (not subject to traffic) may be backfilled with NATIVE MATERIAL. Refer to SUB01X, Section 5.4.2. NO CONDUITS SHALL BE INSTALLED ABOVE OR PARALLEL TO GAS LINES. NONMETALLIC RED WARNING TAPE will be 6" wide, marked "SPPC Utilities Buried Below" and shall be placed in ALL TRENCHES at least 18" below finish grade and 12" above SPPC conduit. ELECTRIC PRIMARY CONDUIT must be 6" minimum from side of trench. If more than one conduit is installed, maintain a 1-1/2" separation from each electric conduit. ELECTRIC SECONDARY/SERVICE CONDUIT must be 2" minimum from side of trench. If more than one conduit is installed, maintain a 1-1/2" separation from each electric conduit.

GAS shall be 12" minimum from side of trench. GAS SHALL HAVE MINIMUM DEPTH TO TOP OF PIPE OF: 36" in State Highways; 30" in streets or roadways; 24" in private property; and maintain a minimum 12" radial clearance from all other utilities. WET FACILITIES, ( SEWER / STORM DRAIN ), must maintain a 1' radial clearance from SPPC Gas or Electric facilities. Note: Conflicts of wet service crossings will maintain a 1' clearance or reduced clearances will be handled according to 17 below or 12-a above. SS/SD Sanitary Sewer/Storm Drain shall not occupy the same common trench as gas or electric and will be separated by virgin soil during parallel installations. ELECTRIC MUST MAINTAIN 1' RADIAL CLEARANCE FROM ALL FACILITIES. If 1' radial clearance cannot be obtained, electric conduit must be concrete encased for at least 18" each side of conflicting utility, or electric facilities will be protected by means of rigid galvanized steel conduit. This will be done by using pvc to rigid steel transition fittings with rigid steel extending at least 4' each side of conflict. Note: SPPC's Inspector will provide determination of application to resolve conflict. EXCEPTION: WATER MAINS WILL MAINTAIN 2' RADIAL CLEARANCE FROM ALL ELECTRIC FACILITIES. Whenever possible, locate hydrant on opposite side of street from electric main trench. Refer to TE0045U for details. If field changes are required, all changes must be approved by a SPPC Inspector.
