In order to minimize the risk of sea turtle entanglement, in-water lines (rope, chain, and cable, including the lines to secure turbidity curtains) must be stiff, taut, and unable to loop or tangle. Examples of such lines are heavy metal chains or heavy cables that do not readily loop and tangle. For flexible in-water lines, such as nylon rope or any lines that could loop or tangle, care must be taken to ensure that all lines are rigged properly, utilizing the correct amount of line to best prevent the line from looping and tangling. In all instances, no excess line is allowed in the water.

1.27 LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS

(a) The Contractor shall coordinate Local Notice to Mariners with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) by contacting USCG District Five at (757) 398-6229 or, alternately, Sector North Carolina at (910) 772-2230.

Contractor shall provide the dredging schedule and location by shoal/tangent/section.

(b) Should the Contractor, during dredging operations, encounter any objects on the channel bottom which could be a hazard to navigation, the Contractor shall notify the USCG immediately with location and other pertinent information necessary for the USCG to issue a Local Notice to Mariners. The Contractor shall provide copies of this information to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative.

1.28 ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENT

The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer no less than 15 days advance written notice of the date it plans to arrive at each work area and any subsequent remobilizations for any acceptance sections, if applicable, in order that before-dredging surveys can be performed in advance of the Contractor's dredging operations.

1.29 PROTECTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES

The Contractor will not be responsible for any alterations to existing structures or utilities except those made by him for his convenience. The Contractor shall protect all existing structures, including bridges, roadway embankments, utilities and improvements from damage, and, in the event of damage as a result of his operations, the Contractor shall be responsible for their repair, restoration, or for all cost of damage resulting therefrom. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to bridge or culvert structures or railway embankments or track caused by the unauthorized excavation or excavation beyond the project dimensions shown on the plans.
