Special Contract Requirements for the Edna Creek and Beaver Creek Culvert Replacements

Site Preparation

• Install sediment barriers (e.g. silt fences, weed free straw bales, wattles, etc...) around excavated material stockpiles to minimize the potential for sediment delivery into stream channels and road ditches.

• Furnish a supply of surplus sediment barriers to be kept on hand, to respond to unanticipated events that have the potential to deliver sediment to stream channels. Minimum coverage length to supply for surplus barriers is 100 feet. i.e. 4 - 25 foot long straw wattles, or enough straw bales to cover 100 lineal feet when placed end to end.

• Obtain approval from C.O. for locations of staging areas, stockpile areas, fueling locations, and other locations where impacts might be anticipated.

Fish Avoidance

• Report the finding of a dead or injured bull trout/fish to the Forest Service immediately.

Dewatering

• Dewatered and completely bypass culvert sites prior to excavation.

• Stream diversion time is limited to a maximum of 14 days.

• Notify the Forest Service at least 72 hours in advance before diverting the stream.

• Dewater slowly to allow the Forest Service time to capture and move stranded fish and other aquatic organisms.

• Utilize 3/32” maximum opening size fish screens for pump suction lines in accordance with the following NMFS fish screen criteria:

• Do NOT excavate material from stream channels or floodplains to construct stream diversion dams.

• Construct the stream diversion around the project site using non-erodible material, such as a pipe or plastic-lined channel to accommodate peak flows that may be expected during construction, including potential storm events.

• Pump turbid water to a temporary storage/treatment site, or into upland areas, to allow it to filter through vegetation prior to reentering the stream channel.

• Place portable pumps in secondary containment with a capacity large enough to hold the contents of the fuel tank.

• Stockpile material excavated from the diversion channel at a designated stockpile area for use in rehabilitating the excavated channel. Install sediment barriers (e.g. silt fences, weed free straw bales, wattles, etc...) around excavated material stockpiles to minimize the potential for sediment delivery into stream channels and road ditches.

Construction and Earthmoving Activities

• Conduct excavation with minimal impact to the active stream channel. Store excavated material in designated stockpile areas.

• Cross streams with equipment only at dewatered areas, on temporary bridges, or at designated temporary crossings.

• Store equipment in approved staging areas when not in use. Cease all operations in the event of local precipitation events or high flows, except efforts to minimize storm damage or excessive erosion.

• Provide certified weed free erosion control materials in order to prevent the spread of noxious weeds.

Pollution Control Measures

• Follow State and Federal regulations regarding spills: e.g., report any spills resulting in a detectable sheen on water to the EPA National Response Center (1-800-424- 8802).

• Report any spills over 25 gallons to the IDEQ (1-800-632-800), and initiate cleanup within 24 hours of the spill.

• Clean all equipment of external oil, grease, dirt and mud, and repair all leaks prior to arriving at the project site. Make equipment available for inspection by the C.O. and obtain approval from the C.O.

before unloading at the site.

• Correct any leaks or accumulations of grease before entering streams or areas that drain directly to streams or wetlands.

• Fuel and service all equipment, including chainsaws and other hand power tools in an approved staging area.

• Keep a spill containment kit containing oil-absorbing floating booms, or other equipment such as pads and absorbent peanuts, capable of containing hazardous oil spills from the largest piece of equipment used on site. Keep the spill containment kit available on-site during all phases of construction and place in a location that facilitates an immediate response to potential petroleum leakage.

Flow Reintroduction

• Pre-wash the newly constructed stream channel surface using pumps and nozzles prior to the reintroduction of streamflow. Continue washing until the C.O. approves the start of the re-water process.

Collect the turbid water in a sump and pump it to a temporary storage/treatment site, or into upland areas, to allow it to filter through vegetation prior to reentering the stream channel.

• Re-water stream channels slowly to prevent loss of surface water downstream as construction site streambed absorbs water and to minimize a sudden increase in turbidity.
