MELODY LANE CREEK DITCHING PROJECT

2026-11-03

Trees are present . This ditching job is to correct slope failures and remove numerous trees and vegetative obstructions . One of the adjacent landowners will allow the tree and vegetative material to be burned on site . The material must be burned within a reasonable time , unless arrangements are made with the landowner . The remaining material will need to be spread out . This will be completed by the contractor and incidental to the ditch bid price . Landowner will approve of where the debris can be placed . Nearest Tillman Bethel Road , another landowner had requested the tree material be hauled off site . They will allow any excess dirt to be spread out along the field area as long as there is no damage to the property . Ditch length in total on the west side of Tillman Bethel Road is 1 , 000 feet . Side slopes cannot exceed a 1 to 1 although 2 to 1 is desirable if adjacent land allows . Ditch must retain a constant cross - section throughout the ditch length . Care must be taken to ensure additional slope failures to not occur from this operation . Packing removed material to the side slopes can help limit slope failures .
