You should first see if the local jurisdiction has requirements that need to be followed, i.e county road & bridge department, state highway department, etc. If the pipeline is going through an open field with no improvements or planned improvements 80% is usually OK. If it is in the shoulder of a road but outside of the roadway prism 90%, if it is under a road, driveway or other area where there will be some type of improvement on top or possibly influenced by the pipeline 95% is usually recommended. The percentages are modified proctor.
