LAND CLEARINGS<br />

<strong>Clearing</strong> of vegetation and trees is<br />

usually necessary before excavating and<br />

embankment operations.<br />

Trees, brush, and even grass make<br />

material handling very difficult. If these<br />

organic materials are allowed to become<br />

mixed into an embankment fill, their<br />

decay over time will cause settlement of<br />

the fill.
