Roots shall be removed in the designated sections and manholes where root intrusion is a <br />problem and where authorized by the Owner. Special attention should be used during the <br />cleaning operation to remove roots from the joints. Any roots that could prevent the proper <br />application of chemical sealants or could prevent the proper seating and application of <br />cured-in-place liners shall be removed. Procedures may include the use of mechanical <br />equipment such as, rodding machines, bucket machines, winches using root cutters, <br />porcupines, and equipment such as high-velocity jet cleaners. Chemical root treatment <br />shall be used before or following the root removal operation, depending on the <br />manufacturer’s recommendation. The Contractor shall capture and remove all roots from <br />the line. <br /> <br />3.5 MATERIAL REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL <br /> <br />A. All sludge, dirt, sand, rocks, grease, roots, and other solid or semisolid material resulting <br />from the cleaning operation shall be removed at the downstream manhole of the section <br />being cleaned. Contractor shall provide appropriate screening to stop passing of materials <br />into downstream storms. All solid or semisolid materials dislodged during cleaning <br />operations shall be removed from the storm by Contractor at the downstream manhole of <br />the storm section being cleaned. The passing of dislodged materials downstream of the <br />storm segment being cleaned shall not be permitted. In such an event, as observed or <br />detected by the Owner or any third party, Contractor shall be responsible for cleaning the <br />affected downstream storms in their entirety, at no additional cost to the Owner. <br /> <br />B. These materials shall become the property of the Contractor, shall be removed from the <br />site at the end of each workday, and shall be disposed of by the Contractor.
