Design Requirements
UTILITY TRENCHING ACROSS EXISTING ROADWAYS AND PARKING LOTS:  (ROAD CUTS)

1. The desired method of underground utility crossings of existing roadways or parking lots on JBLM is to jack or bore conduit/ pipes under the roadway. As of June 01, 2004, there is a moratorium on cutting any road or parking lot for any reason without prior written approval of the Director of Public Works.

2. A request to trench across any paved roadway or parking lot must be submitted to the DPW for signature. A Road Cut Request Form shall be submitted with a sketch, supporting written justification for the need to trench, and how the cut is to be patched must accompany the request. A dig permit for open trenching across a paved roadway will not be issued without signed permission.
3. If approved road cuts the minimum width shall be 6 feet wide with 15 feet the preferred width with all cuts having a minimum of 2 feet of new pavement on each side of the trench wall. The exact size will be determined with the road cut approval.

 Any ground disturbing activities will require coordination with the JBLM Stormwater Program Office to ensure compliance with the MS4 permit. At the minimum, erosion and sediment controls must be identified in the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) submittal prior to construction. If planned ground disturbance is greater than 5,000 square feet, a stormwater Drainage Plan and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required. Please contact the Stormwater office at:
