The area to be excavated shall be moistened to the full depth from the surface to the bottom of the excavation. The application of water shall be controlled so that the excavated material will be near the optimum moisture content as specified in paragraph 3.3ATesting, below.

Scarifying or furrows shall be a maximum of 900 mm (3ft) apart, and shall be parallel to the centerline of the embankment.
