proposed to be replaced as part of this improvement. Televising of the lines to confirm their conditions will be performed. The remaining street crossing culverts within the subdivision are proposed to be replaced and updated to reinforced concrete pipe. Only minor grading of the ditches to tie -into the new culverts is proposed. The reconstruction of the streets within Countryside Estates are proposed to be a Full -Depth Reclamation (FDR). Typical impacts of FDR projects including matching into driveways and boulevards approximately 6 to 8 feet from the edge of pavement is anticipated. To achieve the proposed pavement section of 3.5-inches of bituminous over 4.0-inches of aggregate base (made up of recycled FDR material), the project will require over excavating 2-inches of subbase material. The reconstruction of the streets within Wildwood Acres are proposed to be a Reclamation. Typical impacts of reclamation projects include 1 to 2 feet of the boulevard adjacent to the pavement, as required to keep any vegetation and/or topsoil out of the reclamation. Driveway impacts are not anticipated. This process will include reclamation of the existing bituminous and aggregate base, hauling out 2.5-inches of excess reclamation material and replacing with 2.5-inches new bituminous pavement on top of the in -place reclamation. Restoration of the impacted boulevards will include a minimum of 4-inches topsoil and hydroseed with a residential turf seed mix. Municipal utilities do not exist within the project area, extension of municipal utilities to this subdivision are not proposed as it is outside of the 2040 MUSA.
