        314.12  BORROW PITS -- TOPSOIL PRESERVED.
         In the award of contracts for the construction, reconstruction,
      improvement, repair or maintenance of any highway, the agency having
      charge of awarding such contracts shall require that when fill dirt,
      soil or other materials are to be removed from borrow pits acquired
      by title or easement, whether by agreement or condemnation, for use
      in the project, adequate provision shall be made for the restoration
      of the borrow pit area, either by removal and replacement of a
      minimum of eight inches of topsoil, or by fertilizing, mulching,
      reseeding or other appropriate measures to provide vegetative cover
      or prevent erosion, except where a lake or subwater table conditions
      are designed, or where the area is zoned for commercial, industrial,
      or residential use, or where the borrow is in locations of white oak,
      sand, loess or undrainable clays.  When the borrow pit is acquired by
      easement, the restoration method shall be determined by agreement
      with the landowner.
