3.0 EXECUTION

3.1 Subgrade

A. Excavate and prepare the subgrade of areas to receive riprap to the lines, grades, and
cross sections shown on the drawings.
B. Geotextile fabric, if required, shall be installed beneath riprap as shown on the
drawings.
C. Place the riprap to conform to the class, thicknesses, slopes, lines, and grades shown
on the drawings. Stone may be placed by mechanical methods, augmented by hand
placing where necessary, provided that when the riprap is completed it forms a

channel changes and drainage ditches, it shall be placed prior to diverting the water
into the channel changes and drainage ditches.
D. At locations where riprap is required at the outlets of pipe culverts, place the riprap
immediately after completing the pipe culvert installation.
E. Place riprap from the bottom of a slope upward, with the larger stones being placed
in the lower courses. Fill open joints with spalls, and thoroughly ram them into
place.
