	Docket No. 85-0319
		Calang was connecting a new length of sewer pipe to the existing pipe.[[6/]] About 2:30 p.m., Hubert measured the dimensions of the trench where the exposed pipe lay, with the assistance of an employee who was working in the trench.
		Calang argues that the standard is ambiguous in that it does not make clear as to whether the two-foot distance is to be measured from the center of the spoil pile or from the outermost edge of the spoil pile.
		Calang contends that these tests were not taken at the location of the trench and were not adequate to determine the stability of the soil.
