Final Grading
and Cleanup
The final step in the construction process is to restore the ROW to preconstruction conditions. This involves respreading the topsoil and grading the ROW to match original contours. [new paragraph] Any remaining construction debris, surplus materials, and equipment are then removed from the ROW.
Revegetation
Once final grading is complete, seeding and/or replanting of the ROW occurs. Except for the limited area maintained as the permanent ROW, all disturbed areas will be allowed to revegetate to their preconstruction condition.
