The machine shall be equipped with means to control dust and other particulate matter created by the cutting action. The speed of the machine shall be variable. The pavement surface shall be recycled to the depth, width, grade and cross section as directed by the Commissioner or his designee. The Commissioner may require that the pavement recycling operations be referenced from an independent grade control in those areas where he deems this type of control to be appropriate.

Transverse faces that are present at the end of the working period will be tapered in the manner approved by the Commissioner or his designee to avoid creating a hazard for traffic. The loose material resulting from the operating shall remain the property of Steuben County
