7. Inspections shall occur at the park’s preferred inspection sites identified below:

a. At Hawaii Volcanoes National Park – At the gravel pull-out area along

Highway 11 across from the Old Volcano Road or other location as determined by inspector.

b. For all other pacific island parks, inspections are not required.

8. Inspections of soil, aggregate, or rock materials may occur at the quarry or source location at the park’s discretion.

9. If a re-inspection is required, the Contractor shall clean and sanitize the item thoroughly. A re-inspection for a rejected item cannot be scheduled for at least 48 hours.

3.3 THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES (T&E SPECIES)

A. General: Threatened & Endangered Plant and Animal Species are protected by

Federal law. Workers must obey all park regulations and drivers must obey all traffic laws and watch for animals on or alongside roads or within the project area. Contact NPS Dispatch at: (808) 985-6170 immediately if an animal is hit or injured or will not move off the road.

B. General Mitigations: Within the project area, the following mitigation measures are required to minimize disturbance to T&E species:

1. The project area shall be cleaned-up at the end of each work shift so that tools, materials, debris, and trash are not left out in a manner that could be a hazard to T&E species.

2. Noise and vibrations from tools and equipment shall be kept to a minimum when working in the vicinity of a listed T&E species.

3. Hazmat spill prevention protocols shall be employed when using gas-powered equipment.

4. Tarps shall be used to contain all paint chips and building debris from exterior surfaces as these can be hazards to listed T&E species.

5. Ensure no standing water on tarps or other construction surfaces in any of the parks in the Hawai‛i islands as it may be a breeding ground for mosquitoes which can carry Dengue fever, avian malaria, avian flu, and other diseases.

6. Ensure loose nails, screws, and fasteners do not fall on the ground when working on exterior surfaces as these can be a hazard to T&E species. If they do land on the ground, pick them up immediately and dispose of them properly.

C. Requirements for Specific T&E Species: The following are requirements for specific T&E species in the Hawaii national parks (delete those that are not applicable to the project).

1. Nēnē (Hawaiian goose) - Nēnē are frequently spotted along the roadside at

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) and Haleakala National Park (HALE) and do not readily move when approached by cars. If there is a Nēnē on the road, drivers must stop and allow the Nēnē to move away on its own.

Drivers should be aware that Nēnē may suddenly appear on the road from low brush and to be especially attentive of this on foggy and/or rainy days. In general, do not approach Nēnē and keep at least 60 feet away. Due to Nēnē breeding, construction activities may be limited at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) and Haleakala National Park (HALE) during the windows outlined below. Construction activities projected to occur during this window may not be permitted, or, may require additional mitigations measures. Refer also to “Working Around Endangered Birds.”

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - Nēnē breeding: From September 1 to

May 1.

Haleakala National Park (HQ Area only) - Nēnē breeding: From October 15 to April 15.

2. ‛Ua‛u (Hawaiian petrel) – ‛Ua‛u nest along the roadside of Haleakala National

Park from mile marker 16.5 to the summit. ‛Ua‛u are active at night. ‛Ua‛u sometimes land on the road and do not move when approached by cars.

‛Ua‛u are absent from the park in December and January of each year.

Construction activities along the road, at these elevations, should be scheduled in December and January unless permission is granted by the park in consultation with the USF&WS. Also, no night work will be allowed in ‛Ua‛u habitat unless approved by the Contracting Officer. Refer also to “Working Around Endangered Birds.”

3. ‘Ōpe‛ape‛a (Hawaiian hoary bat) – The Hawaiian hoary bat is an endangered subspecies of the hoary bat family that is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

Bat birthing and pupping season typically occurs in trees or vegetation greater than 15 feet high from June 1 until September 15. Trees less than 15 feet high can be cut year-round (unless trees are near caves where bats may also nest). Cutting of trees and vegetation greater than 15 feet high is limited to the period of September 15 to June 1 to avoid affecting hoary bat pups. No tree or branch shall be cut without approval by the Contracting Officer or unless it’s explicitly required in the contract documents. If a hoary bat is discovered in the project area, contact NPS Dispatch at: (808) 985-6170.

4. Other T&E Plants & Forest Birds – Prior to construction start, the park may survey the project area for threatened and endangered plants & forest birds (and their nests) and flag a buffer zone for protection. Avoid flagged nest areas during construction activities.

D. Requirements for Other Species of Concern: The following are requirements for other species of concern in the Hawaii national parks (delete if not applicable to the project).

1. ‛Ōhi‛a Trees - Avoid wounding ‘ōhi‘a trees and roots with mowers, chainsaws, weed eaters, and other tools. Cut only a minimum amount of trees and branches as approved by the Contracting Officer and avoid making jagged cuts or stripping bark. Treat the cut, standing sections of ‘ōhi‘a with a wound sealant such as Spectracide Pruning Seal. Wound sealants other than Spectracide Pruning Seal will require review and approval by the Contracting Officer prior to use. ‘Ōhi‘a firewood, ‘ōhi‘a logs, ‘ōhi‘a parts, and ANY other cut vegetation, organic matter, or green waste that is not part of the project scope may not be brought into the park. All non-‘ōhi‘a firewood and logs imported into the park must be sourced from a park approved site free of invasive weeds and plants, invasive pests, and ROD.

3.4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES

A. General: Archaeological resources are physical evidence of past human activity, including evidence of the effects of that activity on the environment.

Archaeological resources are found above and below ground and underwater.

Known archeological resources will be marked and flagged by the park. Do not disrupt known archaeological resources or flagged areas during construction activities. If necessary, the Contractor will erect temporary barriers around the archaeological resource to ensure avoidance. The Contractor does not need to provide an Archaeological Monitor; however, the Contractor, or Contractor’s designee, will observe all ground-disturbing activities during earthwork and other construction operations. If the Contractor discovers archaeological resources, the Contractor shall stop work, notify the Contracting Officer immediately, and relocate to a non-sensitive area. The park may have an Archaeological Monitor present at the jobsite who is authorized to stop work upon discovery of archaeological resources. Archaeological resources typically found in the park or at the project site will be discussed at the preconstruction meeting.

3.5 SOUNDSCAPE / NOISE

A. General: The Contractor shall minimize noise levels at the project site to protect the soundscape of the park and minimize noise to staff, visitors, neighbors, and habitat. Perform operations to minimize noise. Perform noise-producing work in less sensitive hours of the day or week or as directed by the Contracting Officer.

Repetitive and/or intermittent, high-level noise is permitted only during daytime hours. If the Contractor exceeds the thresholds below, the Contractor may be required to stop work, temporarily relocate to a non-sensitive area, or adjust the construction means and methods at no additional expense to the Government.

1. Maximum permissible construction equipment noise at 50 feet:

EARTHMOVING dB(A) MATERIALS HANDLING dB(A) Front Loaders 75 Concrete Mixers 75 Backhoes 75 Concrete Pumps 75 Dozers 75 Cranes 75 Tractors 75 Derricks Impact 75 Scrapers 80 Pile Drivers 95 Graders 75 Jack Hammers 75 Trucks 75 Rock Drills 80 Pavers, Stationary 80 Pneumatic Tools 80 Pumps 75 Saws 75 Generators 75 Vibrators 75 Compressors 75

2. Do not exceed the following dB(A) limitations at 50 feet:

TIME DURATION OF IMPACT NOISE dB(A) More than 12 minutes in any hour 70 More than 3 minutes in any hour 80

3.6 AIR QUALITY (INDOOR & OUTDOOR)

A. General: The Contractor shall minimize the negative impacts to indoor and outdoor air quality as a result of their operations. This may include:

1. Control of emissions from vehicles or heavy equipment.

2. Control of fumes, vapors, or gases from products or packaging.

3. Control of particulates and dust from indoor operations such as cutting and sanding.

4. Control of particulates and dust from outdoor operations.

5. Control of moisture during operations that may lead to damage, fumes, or mold.

B. Mitigations: The Contractor shall mitigate for negative impacts to indoor and outdoor air quality as a result of their operations. This may include:

1. Ensure vehicles and heavy equipment do not idle when not in use.

2. Ensure proper ventilation and air movement of indoor spaces.

3. Install temporary mechanical ventilation where appropriate.

4. Ensure tools are equipped with the proper guards or particulate catchment devices.

5. Ensure particulates and debris are collected and disposed of on a regular basis.

6. Consider water trucks or temporary irrigation devises for dust control on unpaved surfaces.

7. Ensure products are properly dried or cured prior to advancing the work.

8. Ensure materials are stored in a dry location.

9. Ensure wet / damp materials are not installed or covered.
