The importance of an item in the project should be one of the primary factors in determining if a submittal for the item should be required.A
8、 “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractors Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submitt
9、al is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the “G“ designation to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the

Review environmental procedures.1.4.6 Soil TestCommercial test from an independent testing laboratory according to the Organic Carbon, 6A, Chemical Analy
21、sis Method described in DOA SSIR 42 including basic soil groups (sand, silt, clay, pH (ASTM D 4972), soluble salts), secondary nutrient groups (calcium, magnesium, sodium, Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), micronutrients (zinc, manganese, iron, copper). Soil required for each test shall include a maxim
22、um depth of 450 mm 18 inches of approximately 1 liter 1 quart volume for each test. Areas sampled should not be larger than 0.4 hectare 1 acre and should contain at least 6-8 cores for each sample area and be thoroughly mixed. Problem areas should be sampled separately and compared with samples take
23、n from adjacent non-problem areas. The location of the sample areas should be noted and marked on a parcel or planting map for future reference.1.4.7 Percolation TestImmediately following rough grading operation, identify a typical location for one of the largest trees and or shrubs and excavate a p
24、it per the project details. Fill the pit with water to a depth of 300 mm 12 inches. The length of time required for the water to percolate into the soil, leaving the pit empty, shall be measured by the project Landscape Architect and verified by the Contracting Officer. Within six hours of the time
25、the water has drained from the pit, the Contractor, with the Contracting Officer and project Landscape Architect present, shall again fill the pit with water to a depth of 300 mm 12 inches. If the water does not completely percolate into the soil within 9 hours, a determination shall be made and sub
26、mitted by the Contractor and verified and approved by the Contracting Officer, whether a drainage system or a soil penetrant will be required for each tree and or shrub being transplanted.1.5 DELIVERY OF MATERIALS1.5.1 Soil Conditioners Delivery and StorageSoil conditioners shall be delivered to the
27、 site in the original, unopened containers bearing the manufacturers chemical analysis. In lieu of containers, soil conditioners may be furnished in bulk. A chemical analysis shall be provided for bulk deliveries. Store in dry locations and away from contaminants.1.6 PLANT MATERIAL IDENTIFICATIONPla
28、nt material to be transplanted shall be tagged and/or shown on drawings. Transplanted plant material shall be delivered with attached, durable, waterproof labels and weather-resistant ink or imprinted tags, stating the correct botanical and common plant name and size.1.7 INSPECTION OF MATERIALSMater
29、ials shall be inspected for compliance with paragraph PRODUCTS and paragraph PLANT MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION. Open soil amendment containers or wet soil amendments shall be rejected. Topsoil that contains slag, cinders, stones, lumps of soil, sticks, roots, trash or other material larger than 40 mm 1-
30、1/2 inch diameter shall be rejected. Topsoil that contains viable plant material and plant parts shall be rejected. SECTION 32 96 00 Page 9Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-Unacceptable material shall be removed from the job site. The C
31、ontracting Officer reserves the right to refuse any unacceptable plant material. All rejected plant material shall be remove from the job site on the day of rejection.1.8 HANDLING OF PLANT MATERIALSMaterials shall not be dropped from vehicles. Plant material shall be transported without scarring tru
32、nks or deforming crown branching. Materials found to be in unacceptable condition shall be replaced at no additional cost to the Government.1.9 TIME LIMITATIONThe time limitation from digging, removing, transporting, to installing transplanted plant material shall be the same day. The time limitatio
33、n between installing the plant material and placing the mulch shall be a maximum 48 hours. If project conditions prevent the Contractor from transplanting and installing plant material on the same day, plant materials shall be boxed or heeled in as required. Plant material shall be maintained and pr
