The purpose of the Narrative Report is to fully describe the proposed Project and outline the erosion and sedimentation control measures and facilities to be utilized.

The rules and regulations as set forth in the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District, Soil Conservation Service (S.C.S.)

shall apply to this Project.

The Contractor shall comply with the rules and regulations as set forth in Document No. 363-2134- 008, Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual, Volume 34, TAB 6, March 2000 or as last revised. The Contractor shall also familiarize himself with the construction guidelines as described in the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual, by PA D.E.P., April 15, 2000 or as last revised.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Work comprises the demolition of all structures, sheds, other ancillary property structures, private sidewalks (public sidewalks to remain), cap water and sewer laterals at curb line (work with public works), one water and sewer lateral in the middle shall be brought up to 3’ grade and capped, rubbish, asbestos abatement as needed, property restoration and all appurtenances for a complete job in accordance with the Contract Documents. All Structures have been declared unsafe to enter to complete the asbestos testing. The Engineer’s Certified Asbestos Inspector will be onsite during the demolition process. The building materials must be kept adequately wet at all times, starting with the demolition process, through site cleanup, transport and final disposal. "Adequately wet" means sufficiently wet to prevent the release of particulates and there are no visible emissions observed from any asbestos-containing material. If visible emissions are observed, the demolition must cease, and additional wetting must be performed until no emissions are occurring. However, the absence of visible emissions is not sufficient evidence of being adequately wet. For a complete discussion of the structurally unsound and in danger of imminent collapse provisions under the Asbestos NESHAP, please refer to 40 C.F.R. §§ 61.141 and 61.145(a)(3), 61.145(c)(4) -(9).
