170 - Develop Water Supply and Watering

170.00_0604_us_03_26_2009

1. DESCRIPTION

170.01 This work consists of providing facilities to furnish an adequate water supply, hauling, and applying water for surface blading and shaping, dust abatement, and surfacing of roads as necessary to provide safe travel for low and/or high clearance vehicles; to protect adjacent resource values and road investments; and to prevent damage to roads during use by Contractor.

2. MATERIALS

170.02 Suitable and adequate water sources and use restrictions are shown on the Vicinity Map with a W. If the Contractor elects to provide water from other than the designated source, Contractor shall be responsible to obtain the right to use the water and pay any royalty involved. Forest Service shall be furnished a copy of any agreement obtained by the Contractor.

3. EQUIPMENT

170.03

a. Mobile watering equipment shall have water tight tanks of known capacity when used for mixing dust abatement materials. The tank capacity shall be measured prior to use.

b. An air gap, or positive anti-siphon device, shall be provided between the water source and the vehicle being loaded if: (1) the vehicle has been used for other than water haul, (2) the source is a domestic potable water supply, (3) or the water is used for tank mixing with any other materials.

c. Designated water sources may require some work prior to their use. Such work may include cleaning ponding areas, installing temporary weirs or sandbags, pipe repair, pump installation or other items appropriate to Contractor's operation.

Flowing streams may be sandbagged on a temporary basis or a weir placed to pond the water. Water draw shall not be more than 1/3 of the stream flow. Pumping shall not result in no or negligible stream flow below site. Work within flowing streams will require review and approval by a Forest Service Fish or Hydrology Specialist.

d. Foot valves on pumps will be screened with screens that meet National Marine Fishery Services standards. NMFS developed criteria for pump intake screens will be used on all water pump intakes as described in the “Addendum, Juvenile Fish Screen Criteria For Pump Intakes” (NMFS, May 9, 1996).

Intake hose screen mesh openings shall not exceed 3/32 inch (2.29mm) woven wire or perforated plate screens, or 0.0689 inch (1.75mm) for profile wire screens, with a minimum 27% open area. If fry size salmonids are never present at the site, screen size opening shall not exceed ¼ inch (6.35mm) for woven wire, perforated plate screens, or profile wire screens, with a minimum of 40% open area.

Trucks will be maintained to prevent oil leaks. Loading is done in a manner to prevent overflowing and discharge of wash into stream.

Standard operating practice shall be to protect the stream bank, riparian area, and provide maintenance for the access road.

171 - Weed and Disease Prevention

171.00_nat_us_03_30_2005

Description

171.01 This work consists of washing and treating construction equipment to remove seeds, plants, and plant fragments from the equipment before the equipment is used on National Forest System lands.

Material

171.02 Conform to the following Subsection:

Perform all work at a location designated on the plans or other locations approved in writing. Provide the CO with an opportunity to monitor the washing and inspection.

171.04 Equipment. Use a high pressure washing system.

For work on National Forest System lands, use a washing system that traps all wash water and either stores it for removal from National Forest System lands or recycles the water for continued use. If the equipment recycles the water, provide adequate filters for seed removal. Dispose of the filter material and removed seeds in an approved manner.

Do not mix soaps, detergents, or other chemicals with the wash water.

For work at a commercial washing facility, use an approved facility.

171.05 Washing. Wash the sides, tops, and undercarriages of all construction equipment. Remove all seeds, plants, plant fragments, dirt, and debris from the construction equipment.

171.06 Inspection. Inspect the washed construction equipment, including the undercarriage, to ensure that the washing removed the dirt, debris, and seeds from the construction equipment. Rewash the construction equipment as necessary or as directed.

171.07 Acceptance. Weed prevention will be evaluated under Subsection 106.02.

Measurement

171.08 Do not measure weed prevention for payment.
