Climbing Turtle General

Turtles are known to inhabit wetlands connected to the Yellow River, and suitable habitat exists within 1,000 ft of that location. It is assumed turtles are present at or near the project site during construction.

When within 1,000 ft of wetlands connected to the Yellow River, use the following erosion mat types as shown on the plans or directed by the engineer, to minimize animal entrapment:

Erosion Mat Urban Class I Type A Erosion Mat Urban Class I Type B Erosion Mat Class II Type C

Furnish mat of these classes from the WisDOT Erosion Control Product Acceptability List (PAL).

Nesting Habitat

No ground disturbance, heavy equipment operation or supply/equipment storage shall occur within 200 ft of wetlands connected to the Yellow River during the turtle nesting season from March 4 to November 16, both dates inclusive, unless exclusion fencing has been installed prior to March 4 to keep turtles from entering the work area. Install and/or maintain exclusion fencing in accordance with the Turtle Exclusion Fencing, Climbing Turtle bid item included in the contract.

Installation of exclusion fencing from March 4 to November 16 is not allowed, even if a turtle survey is conducted, as it must be assumed that turtles have established nests as of May 20. A survey is not sufficient to identify established nests, resulting in potential egg mortality. Adjustment of these dates will not be considered.

Carefully move any turtles found within the project area to suitable habitat outside the project area.

4. Traffic.

Close CTH X to through traffic. No signed detour route will be marked.

Maintain two through lanes of traffic during non-working hours. Provide shoulder drop-off signs and traffic control drums when shoulder drop-offs are left overnight.

Maintain access to businesses and residences on CTH X within the project limits. Notify the property owners a minimum of 24 hours in advance if construction operations require a temporary closure of business or residential entrances. Charmed Clothing Company Boutique’s only business access is at Station 11+87 on the south side of CTH X.

9. Environmental Protection, Aquatic Exotic Species Control.

Exotic invasive organisms such as VHS, zebra mussels, purple loosestrife, and Eurasian water milfoil are becoming more prolific in Wisconsin and pose adverse effects to waters of the state. Wisconsin State Statutes 30.07, "Transportation of Aquatic Plants and Animals; Placement of Objects in Navigable Waters", details the state law that requires the removal of aquatic plants and zebra mussels each time equipment is put into state waters.

At construction sites that involve navigable water or wetlands, use the follow cleaning procedures to minimize the chance of exotic invasive species infestation. Use these procedures for all equipment that comes in contact with waters of the state and/or infested water or potentially infested water in other states.

Ensure that all equipment that has been in contact with waters of the state, or with infested or potentially infested waters, has been decontaminated for aquatic plant materials and zebra mussels before being used in other waters of the state. Before using equipment on this project, thoroughly disinfect all equipment that has come into contact with potentially infested waters. Guidelines from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for disinfection are available at:

http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/invasives/disinfection.html

Use the following inspection and removal procedures:

1. Before leaving the contaminated site, wash machinery and ensure that the machinery is free of all soil and other substances that could possibly contain exotic invasive species;

2. Drain all water from boats, trailers, bilges, live wells, coolers, bait buckets, engine compartments, and any other area where water may be trapped;

3. Inspect boat hulls, propellers, trailers and other surfaces. Scrape off any attached mussels, remove any aquatic plant materials (fragments, stems, leaves, seeds, or roots), and dispose of removed mussels and plant materials in a garbage can before leaving the area or invested waters; and

4. Disinfect your boat, equipment and gear by either:

4.1. Washing with ~212 F water (steam clean), or

4.2. Drying thoroughly for five days after cleaning with soap and water and/or high pressure water, or

4.3. Disinfecting with either 200 ppm (0.5 oz per gallon or 1 Tablespoon per gallon) Chlorine for

10-minute contact time or 1:100 solution (38 grams per gallon) of Virkon Aquatic for 20- to 30-minute contact time. Note: Virkon is not registered to kill zebra mussel veligers nor invertebrates like spiny water flea. Therefore, this disinfect should be used in conjunction with a hot water (>104º F) application.

Complete the inspection and removal procedure before equipment is brought to the project site and before the equipment leaves the project site.
