Committee flags installation‑depth inconsistency for technical manual
Summary
The draft manual contains conflicting instructions (drip lines at 7 inches vs. 8 inches below finished grade). Committee asked staff to resolve the discrepancy, propose an approved range or defer to TEC guidance and soil‑dependent engineering.
Members pointed out that section wording conflicts: one subsection requires drip lines at 7 inches below finished grade while another section specifies 8 inches. Chris White recommended adopting an approved range (7–8 inches) or deferring final depth specification to TEC guidance and site‑specific soil conditions.
The committee agreed depth recommendations should be consistent and should note where factors such as imported soils or mounded systems change the appropriate installation depth. Staff will reconcile the conflict in the manual and flag areas where site engineers should make final determinations.
