surface within the highway right-of-way without first obtaining a
permit from the Board of Selectmen or its designee.

shall be backfilled in twelve-inch layers of suitable material, each
layer being compacted with a flat-faced mechanical tamper or vibrating
soil compactor, and the top 18 inches of backfill shall be good gravel,
compacted and well graded. All unsuitable material, such as wet clay
and stones larger than six inches, will be removed and replaced with
bank run gravel. Edges of the existing pavement shall be trimmed back
to a reasonable straight line.

finish, each course being rolled until thoroughly compacted with a
roller weighing a minimum of eight tons or equivalent in compaction.

original surface, laid in one layer of a four-inch minimum thickness,
sealed with 1/4 gallon T6 tar per square yard, sanded and rolled until
thoroughly compacted with a roller weighing a minimum of eight tons
or equivalent in compaction.
