crossings to be installed below the bed of a stream or river such as utility
crossings of a gas line, sewer line, electrical line, communication line, water
line or similar line. (3-18-22)
02.
Depth of Line. The line shall be installed below the streambed to
a depth which will prevent erosion and exposure of the line to free flowing

shall be encased in concrete or covered with rock riprap to prevent the
pipeline from becoming exposed. (3-18-22)

shall be welded, glued, cemented or fastened together in a manner to provide a
water tight connection. (3-18-22)

turbidity, sediment, organic matter or toxic chemicals. A settling basin or
cofferdam may be required for this purpose. (3-18-22)

Cofferdam. If a cofferdam is
used, it shall be completely removed from the stream channel upon completion of
the project. (3-18-22)

areas. (3-18-22)
