Excavating. All excavating costs are included in the standard home price, except in the event that a spring, sink hole(s), or excessive rock which requires blasting is encountered in excavating for this home. Any additional costs up to $5,000 resulting from water, sink hole(s), rock blasting, or removal (hauling off lot) must be paid by the Buyer(s) to the Contractor at the time of settlement.
Excavating. Disposal of surplus excavation material shall be handled in a similar manner to the disposal of surplus stripping material. - It is extremely important in all excavations to ensure that excavated material is not permitted to sluff into the surrounding tree cover, or to bury any plant material that is to be retained. Trees and shrubs on the perimeter of the site can be severely damaged by burial or damage involved in retrieving this material at a later date. - Rocks rolling down steep slopes during excavation or dumping of fill material can severely damage vegetation below. Special attention by equipment operators and extensive downslope protection work may be required. - Careful equipment operation is required to ensure that mechanical damage to trees and surrounding vegetation does not occur. If damage does occur, an approved horticultural sealant will be applied to the tree damage as soon as possible. - All equipment operators should be instructed that the operation of construction equipment off-site is not permitted. This applies both to the perimeter of the site, and to any areas within the site that are protected in a natural state. - Alberta Region archaeologists must be informed of any projects in the park that require excavation. This will be scheduled at the preliminary/design phase of the project. Archaeological/Historical concerns will be cleared by Alberta Region Archaeological Division prior to initiation of excavation. - Material sources, material storage areas and width of excavation ditches will be identified and recognized as part of the cost estimate of the project ( trucking requirements, etc.). - All open excavations will be signed and fenced appropriately in order to minimize hazards to both the general public and to wildlife.
Excavating. There shall be no ditching, draining, diking, filling, excavating, dredging, mining or drilling, removal of topsoil, sand, gravel, rock, minerals or other materials, nor any building of roads or change in the topography of the land in any manner, unless directly associated with and incidental to Permitted Uses or archeological exploration by a qualified not-for-profit, state or federal governmental agency.
Excavating. A. Excavate to lines, elevations and limits indicated on the drawings, allowing sufficient distance and space to permit erection of forms, shoring and inspections.
