Stage | Emergency/NOIRA |
Comment Period | Ended on 2/26/2014 |
Given GMP #116 was rescinded on the effective date of the Board's emergency regulations, 12/07/2013, what has become of VDH's requirement for responsibility resting with the person who designed the Substituted System or with the contractor who installed the system (in cases where a VDH permit is modified)? Suggest the proposed language be amended to include "withstand typical construction equipment and residential use loads without deformation, cave-in, subsidence, or collapse" under 12VAC5-610-930.F.2.f., as follows:
2. Gravelless material shall have the following minimum characteristics for general
approval:
f. Gravelless material shall have a minimum load rating of H-10 or H-20 from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials or equivalent when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's minimum specified depth of compacted cover in nontraffic or traffic areas, respectively. All gravelless materials must be capable of withstanding typical construction equipment and residential use loads without deformation, cave-in, subsidence, or collapse.
