CONSTRUCTION DEWATERING

A. This Section specifies dewatering requirements and procedures necessary during installation and use of dewatering pumps and appurtenances, groundwater collection trenches/sumps, and dewatering wells and/or wellpoints.

1.02 RELATED SECTIONS

Section 02200 - Unclassified Excavation

1.03 SUBMITTALS

A. The Contractor shall submit a Construction Dewatering Plan to the Engineer prior to executing the work for review and approval by the Engineer and NMDGF. The Construction Dewatering Plan shall be a written procedure for implementing the construction dewatering requirements specified herein.

The plan shall describe the layout, materials, and equipment, and the operation and maintenance procedures proposed. The Construction Dewatering Plan shall meet any criteria set forth in the 401/404 permit.

1.04 DESCRIPTION OF SITE CONDITIONS

A. The site condition description provided herein is based on surface observations conducted by the Engineer. No subsurface exploration was conducted.

1. General: Within the project area, Jacks Creek flows in a southerly direction and straight and fairly uniform throughout the project area.

It is anticipated that dewatering will be necessary for this project. The seasonal (August to October) average baseflow is estimated between 1

- 10 cfs. The fish barrier site is approximately 65-feet downstream of the natural waterfall and is bounded by exposed bedrock on both the east and west boundaries. At the downstream end of the site, the bedrock on the east boundary dips and the stream corridor widens to the east providing a broad floodplain. The area on either side of the proposed structure appears to be competent bedrock but the extent of the bedrock below the ground surface is unknown.

2. Groundwater: No groundwater discharge points were observed during the field work. Therefore it is anticipated that local

02140-2 groundwater levels are at or below the stream channel water surface elevations. The subsurface conditions at the site may lead to unstable excavations if groundwater is encountered and proper dewatering controls are not implemented and maintained during construction.

2.01 EQUIPMENT

A. The Contractor shall provide, and maintain on site, all equipment, piping, fittings, and appurtenances necessary to collect, pump, and convey discharge water to adequately dewater all open excavations, including spare fittings, pumps and other materials necessary to maintain a continuously operating dewatering system.

B. The Contractor shall provide and maintain primary and backup power supplies and power distribution systems as necessary to operate the dewatering system without significant interruption. All grounding shall be provided per the NEC. The power plants and their appurtenances shall be protected from weather and other potentially detrimental conditions at the site (e.g., dust, impacts, etc.)

C. The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment and materials to collect and pump dewatering flows.

PART 3 EXECUTIONS

3.01 DEWATERING

A. The Contractor shall fully implement all measures and precautions necessary to ensure the safety of workers, and the protection of the Work (including maintenance of integrity against rupture and/or heave of the bottom of the excavation) during excavation and dewatering, including, but not limited to, full implementation of the requirements of this Section 02140.

B. The Contractor shall provide backup and spare equipment (as specified in

Part 2.01), immediately available for installation and/or operation to minimize any interruption in the required pumping. In the event of pump failure for reasons beyond the Contractor’s ability to control, all excavation shall cease, and the Contractor shall implement repairs and resume pumping as soon as possible.

02140-3

C. Maintain excavation dewatering sufficiently to allow for visual inspection, quality assurance, and as-built surveying, to be conducted by Engineer at their discretion.
