Please feel free to forward it.
Our hands are tied until someone gets hurt. It is a sorry state of affairs.

The spoil pile is required to be at least 2 feet from the edge of the trench and/or retained to prevent it from falling into the trench.

Thank you, I am aware of that. The company I work for does not own 1 FR shirt. PPE, whats that? When we fired up the 4000A 480 gear last year, the owner of the company pushed the close button because I complained so much about acquiring PPE. My hands are tied, report me before some gets hurt. I would rather lose my job. Yes this is a rant, how was your day?

gumbo factor can mean a lot of different things.... around here, gumbo is
called calieche, and it's a clay hard pan that covers most of southern calif.
right under the topsoil, for a depth of 6"-18".
the stuff's so hard around brea, that you can take a pickax, swing into it as
hard as you can, and the tip will go in about 2~3 inches. the only way to
hand dig it is with a clay spade on a 90 lb jackhammer. :-(
back in the 1970's, racing motocross, saddleback park would have the hardpan
get so burnished, it was like sawdust on bakelite, but harder and slipperier.
