1.04 JOB CONDITIONS

A. The associated work activities include but are not limited to the following items:

1. Temporary and permanent measures will have to be undertaken before, during and after construction to control sediment from being carried onto adjoining properties and into swales or watercourses as a result of stormwater runoff.

2. The use of temporary control devices as shown on the Drawings and as described in these Specifications are for providing the trapping of sediment resulting from construction activities and to reduce the velocities of the temporary stormwater courses to minimize erosion.
