The Contractor shall apply for and execute all permits as required by the State of (insert state) regarding storm water discharge from the construction site. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer a copy of all permit applications and a copy of all approvals from the State. Allow the Government 10 days for review of the application package prior to submission.

2. During construction, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations concerning the control and abatement of water pollution.

3. The Contractor's construction activities shall be performed by methods that will prevent entrance or accidental spillage of solid matter, contaminants, debris, and other objectionable pollutants and wastes into streams, flowing or dry water-courses, lakes, ponds, and underground water sources. The Contractor shall dispose of all pollutants such as petroleum products, rubbish, cement, concrete, etc., and objectionable material at a jurisdictionally accepted waste management facility.

4. Sanitary facilities, such as chemical toilets shall be located far enough from wells, live streams, or ponds to prevent pollution of the water.

5. Dewatering work for structure foundations or earthwork operations adjacent to or encroaching on streams or watercourses shall be conducted in a manner that prevents muddy water and eroded materials from entering streams or watercourses. This shall be accomplished by construction of intercepting ditches, bypass channels, barriers, settling ponds, or other approved means. Excavated material shall not be placed in or adjacent to watercourses where it can be washed away by high water or storm runoff.

E. Prevention of site contamination

1. The purpose of this section is to prevent invasive species from being introduced to the project work sites. This includes both plant and animal species. Invasive species can have long last detrimental effects at project sites at US Fish and Wildlife Service lands.

2. Prior to entrance to the work site, all equipment brought on site will be thorough-ly washed to remove dirt, seeds, and plant parts. Any equipment that has been any body of water within the past 30 days will be thoroughly cleaned with hot water greater than 140 degree F (typically the temperature found at commercial truck washes) and dried for a minimum of five days before being used at this pro-ject site. In addition, before transporting equipment from the project site all visi-ble mud, plants and fish/animals will be removed, all water will be eliminated, and the equipment will be thoroughly cleaned. Anything that came in contact with water will be cleaned and dried following the above procedure.

F. Environmental Litigation: Time lost due to work stoppage because of failure of the Contractor to comply with these requirements may not be the subject of a claim for extension of time, for additional costs, or damages.
