Submit new inquiry for this project

Inquiry #1: The Drainage Details (DD-1), depicted on Sheet 11 indicate that the structure backfill trench width is to be "the culvert diameter plus Min 2' on each side of the culvert". We have never seen this referenced in a District 1 project, is there any chance that this is a mistake?
