8. Information to Bidders, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit.

The department has assumed coverage under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Transportation Regional General Permit (TRGP). The department has determined that a pre-construction notification (permit application) to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and their written verification of TRGP coverage is not necessary for this project.

A copy of the Section 404 Transportation Regional General Permit can be obtained on USACE’s website:

https://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Portals/57/docs/regulatory/RGP/Transportation.pdf

If the contractor requires work outside the proposed slope intercepts, based on their method of operation to construct the project, it is the contractor’s responsibility to determine whether a pre-construction notification (permit application) and written verification from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Section 404 Transportation Regional General permit is required. If written verification under the TRGP is necessary, submit a pre-construction notification to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and obtain written verification of permit coverage prior to beginning construction operations requiring the permit. No time extensions as discussed in standard spec 108.10 will be granted for the time required to apply for and mailto:adam.kopp@dot.wi.gov https://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Portals/57/docs/regulatory/RGP/Transportation.pdf?ver=5-1zbQT8_g_a1pSEGBP2Dg%3d%3d

9. Information to Bidders, WPDES Transportation Construction General Permit (TCGP) for Storm Water Discharges.

The following Project IDs have less than one acre of land disturbing construction activity and do not require coverage under the TCGP:

Project ID Design Calculated Amount of Land Disturbing Construction Activity (acres)

5989-03-84 0.4

If additional land disturbance is necessitated for the project due to proposed contractor means and methods, including temporary support activity sites, and the additional land disturbance results in a total cumulative land disturbance for the project of one acre or more, TCGP coverage will need to be obtained.

The department will be responsible for obtaining TCGP coverage for the project following department approval of the associated ECIP and DNR concurrence that the project has met the requirements for coverage under the TCGP. Do not begin land disturbing construction activity until the ECIP is approved and the DNR conveys TCGP coverage for the project.

Contractor necessitated changes resulting in the need for permit coverage will not be cause for schedule delays or other damages.

Stormwater discharge permit coverage for additional land disturbing construction activities related to contractor means and methods, including temporary support activity sites, will be considered as part of the ECIP review and approval process. Coverage under the TCGP for additional land disturbance areas will be considered if the areas meet all the following:

• Must meet the TCGP applicability criteria.

• Must be for the exclusive use of a WisDOT project.

• Land disturbance first commences after the ECIP approval, and the areas are fully restored to meet the final stabilization criteria of the permit upon completion of the work.

If TCGP coverage is deemed necessary and obtained for the project, conform to all permit requirements and post the “Certificate of Permit Coverage” in a conspicuous place at the construction site.

Permit coverage, if necessary, will be under the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Transportation Construction General Permit, (WPDES Permit No. WI-S066796-2), and is located at: :

https://widnr.widen.net/s/s5mwp2gd7s/finalsignedwisdotcsgp
