Do not begin Work in the material source until the source development plan has been approved in writing by the Engineer.

Develop a site-specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for the material source according to 00280.04 and submit it to the Engineer at or before the pre-work meeting. Construct stormwater control berm(s) as needed to control runoff. Do not allow any materials, including sediments, Aggregate or crushing by‑products to enter into waterways or Wetlands.

If pits or sumps are used, construct adequate berms or provide other measures to prevent breaching of the pits or sumps.

For materials capable of causing water pollution if discharged, locate storage facilities in an area that prevents spillage into waterways or Wetlands.

Construction

00235.40 General - Steam clean off all debris (soil, dirt, plant parts, and vegetative matter) all vehicles and Equipment, prior to entering the site for the first time, and each subsequent time if the vehicle has left the Roadway outside the construction Project limits, before being brought back to the site. Notify the Engineer before moving each vehicle onto the site. Certify, in writing, that the Equipment has been steam cleaned.

00235.41 Restrictions and Protection of Resources - Comply with the following for all operations within the material source:

Protect cultural resources according to 00290.50.

Protect migratory birds according to 00290.36(a).

Limit mineral and Aggregate extraction, crushing, processing, and Equipment operation activities including drilling activities to the hours of one-half hour before sunrise and one-half hour after sunset, Monday through Friday unless modifications to these hours are requested in writing and approved by the Engineer. Do not conduct any operation on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays, as defined in ORS 279C.540.

00235.42 Source Setup - Before proceeding with Work in the material source, the following apply:

(a) Access:

Develop and maintain an access road from the existing stockpile area to the newly developed excavation floor. Construct this road with a width of 12 feet and reasonably uniform grade, no steeper than a 16 percent grade (1V:6H), for access to the quarry floor. An approximate location for development of this road is shown on the Plans. Determine the exact location in the field. Obtain the Engineer's approval before constructing the access road.

Routine road maintenance activities such as grading and watering of the access roads do not need review or approval. Maintain or develop drain dips, water bars, road crowning, in-slopes and out-slopes during road maintenance.

Use overburden or existing, loose and non-stockpiled material or imported or clean soil or a combination of clean soil and rock, to construct a safety berm along the top edge of the new excavation or existing slopes as shown. Maintain a 10‑foot buffer between the top edge of the excavation or slope and the toe of the safety berm. Construct the berm 3 feet high, with side slopes of 1V:2H.

(b) Overburden - Before excavating, any soil overburden from within the excavation area. Incorporate grass and small shrubs into the stockpiles. Do not remove grass or small shrubs from the overburden. Place stockpiles in a consolidated overburden storage area. Maintain a minimum 10‑foot buffer strip between the toe of the overburden storage area(s) and the excavation area or from the toe of the Aggregate stockpiles. Smooth and contour overburden storage berms to form side Slopes no steeper than 1V:2H.

00235.44 Source Operations - The following apply during material source operations:

Construct slopes and floor of the excavation area as shown.

To control dust, apply water to material source access, haul road(s), and crushing and processing operations.

A water source is not available on-site within the material source.

Stockpile reject fines in separate and accessible stockpiles as shown.

If the Contractor chooses to utilize this material source, maintain the condition of the access road to the intersection with 85th Place at all times. Provide traffic control related to ingress and egress movements in a manner that allows a safe work zone and safe passage of vehicles.

Maintain the gate into the source at all times.

00235.45 Source Clean-up - The following apply at the completion of operations:

Leave no loose material on the site exceeding 1 foot diameter, except as noted below. Process all oversize material loosened in the source by the Contractor that meets quality requirements, with the following exception:

A maximum of 50 cubic yards of oversize material with a maximum dimension of 2.5 feet may be stockpiled in the material source. Consolidate oversize material as shown.

Place all excess produced Aggregate remaining at the end of operations in separate and accessible stockpiles on Agency owned or controlled property in areas designated by the Engineer, at no additional cost to the Agency.

Leave the material source floor access road open. Do not rip or block the roads except a berm greater than approximately three feet in height may be used to block off access to the lower floor area.

Remove all loose, hanging or potentially dangerous Rock on or above the excavated surface.

All construction slash and combustible debris resulting from use and development of the source, including the preexisting refuse identified at the pre-work meeting, even if it is from outside the material source Work area boundary, except for grass and small shrubs that are incorporated into the overburden become the property of the Contractor, to be treated as noncombustible and removed from material source.

00235.47 Source Vacating - Before vacating the material source the following apply:

Remove all structures, noncombustible debris, and equipment from the material source, even if it was pre-existing, except for grass and small shrubs incorporated into the overburden.

Remove solid waste and hazardous material from the site and dispose of properly. These include, but are not limited to, plant cleanings, materials placed in sumps, tires, pipes, belts, screens and truck cleanings. Provide documentary evidence of proper disposal and verify the amount of material removed.

If a spill or dumping has occurred or if a spill or dumping is suspected to have occurred, clean up the contaminated materials according to Section 00290. After clean up, the Engineer may, sample and test materials at the spill or dumping locations to verify the clean up has been completed. If the Engineer’s verification testing demonstrates remaining contamination, perform additional clean up until the requirements of Section 00290 including 00290.20(g) are met Attend a post-work meeting at the material source to evaluate material source rehabilitation work with the Engineer and attendees listed under 00235.05.
