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 project site. In addition, before transport-ing equipment from the project site all visible mud, plants and fish/animals will be re-moved, all water will be eliminated, and the equipment will be thoroughly cleaned. Any-thing that came in contact with water will be cleaned and dried following the above pro-cedure.

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.
