August September October NovemberApril May June July

L. USFWS’s expectation is based on environmental compliance for avoiding take of nesting water birds.

The contractor shall allow passthrough for water levels that exceed the April 15 targeted pool elevation. Pass through should be sufficient to prevent the pool temporarily rising more than 4 inches above the targeted pool level April 15 - September 30.

Any construction outside of these dates shall ensure the pools do not exceed maximum dam capacity threatening dam safety or integrity and will contact refuge manager immediately.

In the event construction causes a significant and rapid loss of water in the pool (more than 6 inches within 24 hours), Contractor shall notify the Refuge of such situations. The contractor may be responsible for restoring pool levels if advisable by refuge manager (contingent on availability of water from surrounding pools and impact to existing nesting birds).

The pool elevations are the targeted spring water levels (MSL elevations) that we would typically manipulate the stoplogs to achieve. Once the pool has mailto:Matthew_spielbauer@fws.gov

01100-11 reached the March/April desired elevations, we set the stoplogs to maintain that elevation while allowing excess rain event volumes to flow downstream. During the summer the pools typically experience a decrease in water levels due to evapotranspiration (and some leakage and seepage), as much as 12 inches to 16 inches but sometimes less depending on weather. The Refuge anticipates this when determining the spring targets and allow the pool to fluctuate this way, and do not mitigate for this loss of water, nor would require the contractor.

M. Vertical Datum conversion is

MSL = NAVD 88 – 0.055 ft

1.11 Safety - In addition to FAR 52.236-13 Accident Prevention

A. Contractor shall fill out and submit the “Preconstruction Safety Checklist” to the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to beginning construction.

B. The contractor shall designate a safety officer to ensure a safe work site. The safety officer shall perform daily work site inspections to assure compliance with all safety regulations and standards.

C. The Contractor’s Safety Plan shall be available on-site. The Contractor shall provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all hazardous materials brought on-site. MSDS shall be made available in a conspicuous location.

D. All equipment and work activities shall comply with

OSHA Regulations and all accidents incidental to work performed under this contract shall be reported in accordance with OSHA reporting requirements.

Additionally, a copy of the accident report shall be provided to the Contracting Officer.

01100-12

E. The contractor shall provide and install barricades, signs, or other warning devices to delineate the construction area and restrict public access to the construction site. Follow Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

F. Provide at least one non-freezing-type fire extinguisher in each workshop and shed used for storage of materials on the premises. Place in location readily accessible to workers.

G. Provide at least one non-freezing-type fire extinguisher of the appropriate class for each group of workers performing flammable procedures.

H. Provide and maintain a basic first aid kit for use of workers.

(a) Provide first aid supply commensurate with size of project with items necessary for first aid treatment of all injuries. The first aid supply shall include items identified on MSDS (see paragraphs B and C of this section) in applicable locations.

(b) Advise all workers of the location of first aid supplies.

(c) Post telephone numbers of nearest hospital or ambulance service and fire station in conspicuous location. Coordinate with Refuge for location of signs. Advise all workers of location of telephone numbers.

(d) If work is between October 20 - May 15, when exterior gates to construction site are locked, advise workers to meet ambulance at locked gates.

I. Provide necessary Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) as identified by MSDS and OSHA regulations. Provide documentation, workers have been trained in use of PPE prior to individual use.

01100-13

PART 2 – PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENTS

A. Products used for the project that may contain invasive species/seeds, etc. shall be purchase locally, at minimum, from sources in Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

B. All equipments coming on site for construction shall be sanitized and free of invasive species/seeds, etc.

that may affect the Refuge biology.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Directorate

Martha Williams, Senior Advisor to the Secretary, Exercising the Delegated Authority of the Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Implementing and Enforcing Mask-Wearing Requirements for Visitors

Purpose This memorandum provides guidance for implementation and enforcement of mask-wearing requirements for visitors to federal facilities and federal lands administered by the Service, as directed by Executive Order 13991, Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask- Wearing.

General Guidance for Non-Law-Enforcement Staff and Volunteers Non-law-enforcement staff and volunteers who interact with visitors to federal facilities and federal lands administered by the Service can promote compliance with the mask mandate as follows:

1. If a visitor forgets to wear a mask, gently remind them of the requirement to wear one. If the station has the means to offer disposable masks, offer one.

2. If the conversation escalates or turns hostile, stay calm, walk away to a safe place, and contact your supervisor. The supervisor should seek to deescalate the situation through calm discourse to the best of their ability.

3. If attempts at peaceful resolution are ineffective, the supervisor has the discretion to implement safety measures to protect our employees, volunteers, partners, contractors, and visitors. These measures may include, but are not limited to:

• request the non-compliant visitor to leave the facility or area,

• contact the geographically assigned Federal Wildlife Officer, building security, Federal Protective Service, or local law enforcement for assistance,

• and/or temporarily close the affected facility or area.

Maintaining the safety of others present should be everyone’s paramount concern.

Guidance on National Wildlife Refuge System Managed Lands The following guidance provides Project Leaders, Refuge Managers, and Federal Wildlife Officers with information on how to implement and enforce mask-wearing requirements for refuge visitors.

Authorities The authority for Project Leaders and Refuge Managers to implement this mandated condition of entry and use of National Wildlife Refuge System managed lands is from the statutory authority found in the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd- 668ee), the Refuge Recreation Act of 1962 (16 U.S.C. 460k-460k-4), and the regulatory authorities granted in 50 Code of Federal Regulations, Subchapter C, including 50 CFR 25.21(e) and 50 CFR 25.31.

Refuge-Specific Required Actions To protect the health and safety of our employees, volunteers, partners, contractors, and visitors to National Wildlife Refuges, Project Leaders and Refuge Managers are directed to implement mask-wearing requirements for all public users and visitors to National Wildlife Refuge System managed lands by using the authority in 50 CFR 25.21(e) and giving public notice in accordance with the provisions in 50 CFR 25.31.

Language Project Leaders and Refuge Managers must use the following language in their refuge’s notification:

While entering or remaining upon a National Wildlife Refuge, all visitors over the age of 2 years* must wear masks, except when actively eating or drinking, in the following locations:

1. All common areas and shared workspaces in buildings owned, rented, or leased by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, including, but not limited to, visitor centers, administrative offices, and gift shops.

2. The following outdoor areas, when others are present where the Project Leader and/or Refuge Manager has determined that physical distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart) cannot reasonably be maintained:

• Outdoor areas adjacent to visitor centers or administrative office entry areas.

• Parking lots or pull-off viewing areas when outside of an enclosed motor vehicle.

• Trailheads, trails, rest areas, fishing piers, boat ramps, and close proximity hunting areas.

Masks must cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly around the nose and chin with no large gaps around the sides of the face. Masks with ventilation valves and face shields do not meet the mask requirement.

https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=&SID=aed6f90feea89103efc2fef76be28ea2&mc=true&n=pt50.9.25&r=PART&ty=HTML#se50.9.25_121 https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=aed6f90feea89103efc2fef76be28ea2&mc=true&node=se50.9.25_131&rgn=div8

*Masks should not be worn by:

• Children younger than 2 years old

• Anyone who has trouble breathing

• Anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance

Public Notification 50 CFR 25.31 provides that the public may be notified by:

• Official signs posted conspicuously at appropriate intervals and locations. Approved signage can be found on the Service’s Intranet.

• Other appropriate methods that will give the public actual or constructive notice of the permitted or curtailed public access, use, or recreational activities. Refuge websites will automatically post the notification.

Permitted Events and Activities The Project Leader and/or Refuge Manager must include mask-wearing requirements in the terms and conditions of permits for events or activities that will take place inside or in outdoor areas where physical distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart) cannot be reasonably maintained.

These terms and conditions must include the same requirements about the proper fitting and type of masks that are included above in the approved language.

Federal Wildlife Officer Enforcement on System Lands Violations of Refuge management actions through 50 CFR 25.21(e) with notification made through 50 CFR 25.31 are prohibited under 50 CFR 26.22 “General exception for entry,” which requires: “(a) Any person entering or using any national wildlife refuge will comply with the regulations in this subchapter C, the provisions of any special regulations and any other official notification as is appropriate under § 25.31” and are enforceable by Service Federal Wildlife Officers.

We recognize the sensitivity of this mandate and that our Federal Wildlife Officers are well trained, highly professional, and exercise their authority with a great degree of trusted discretion.

The following guidance recognizes that the dynamics of an encounter are highly variable and that no two situations are the same. Federal Wildlife Officer’s safety, the safety of our employees, and the safety of visitors are the Service’s highest priorities.

Our intent is to promote voluntary compliance with mask mandate requirements to the fullest extent possible. Enforcement is intended to be a last resort option. The Service is authorizing Federal Wildlife Officers to implement enforcement under the following directions:

1. Initiate compliance contacts in a non-confrontational manner and start with words similar to: “You may not be aware, but the wearing of masks is required at the National Wildlife Refuge.”

2. Ensure the recording of contacts and incidents are in compliance with Director’s Order 220, Body-Worn Cameras.
