"Backfill" or "fill" means (a) material used to replace material removed during construction, or (b) the act of replacing or placing material during construction. B. "Backfill operation" or "fill operation" means the method and the activity required to fill surface depressions and excavations, or to construct fills to required grades. C. "Common fill" means fill or borrow materials which are naturally occurring and not meeting a specific gradation or classification. D. "Select fill" means fill or borrow materials which are naturally occurring, screened or graded, or mixed to meet a specific gradation or classification. E. "Subgrade" means those areas and surfaces upon which additional materials are to be placed under contract, or which are to be constructed or prepared for the future placement thereon of other materials. 03/30/01 02200-3
PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.01 FILL MATERIAL FOR OVER-EXCAVATED AREAS A. Provide granular backfill materials meeting the requirements of "Select Fill" materials. 2.02 SELECT FILL MATERIALS A.
