The following provisions are applicable to this contract:

Timing

1. Freshwater hydraulic projects shall normally be implemented only during the work periods outlined in Appendix D. Other timing will be lowed on a site-specific basis if the Forest Service fish biologist and WDFW Area Habitat Biologist agree that implementing the activity outside of the normal period would be unlikely to cause negative impacts to fish. Any agreements to modify the work periods in Appendix D for specific projects or specific sites shall be documented by WDFW.

2. Those portions of hydraulic project work that occur outside above the bankfull channel and have little or no potential to negatively affect fish or fish habitat are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D. Examples of such work include replacing bridge decking, constructing a bridge superstructure after fo are in place, and building up the fill of a culvert that is in place. These projects are still bound the other provisions in Appendix A. The Forest Service shall notify the appropriate WDFW Regional Habitat Program Manager prior to implementing work on these hy lic projects outside the work periods specified in Appendix D.

3. Hydraulic projects conducted in intermittent non-fish-bearing streams that are dry during the proposed work are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D unless USFS fish biologist determine the activities are likely to negatively affect fish life, in which case the work periods specified in Appendix D ap ly.

4. Hydraulic projects conducted in wetted non-fish-bearing streams that are greater than ¼ mile from fish-bearing water are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D unless USFS fish biologist determine the activities are likely to negatively affect fish life, in which case the work periods specified in Appendix D apply.

To prevent contamination, equipment used around waterbodies be free of external

Fish Protection

5. Any pump used for diverting water from a fish-bearing waterbody shall be equipped with a fish guard to prevent passage of fish into the pump. The pump intake shall be screened with 3/32 inch or smaller mesh. Screen maintenance shall be adequate to prevent injury or entrapment to juvenile fish and shal remain in place whenever water is withdrawn from the water body through the pump intake.

6. Fish within construction sites that will be dewatered isolated from the main water body will be captured and safely moved from the job site. capture and transportation equipment shall be available on the job site during al n water activities.

7. If at any time, as a result of project activities, a fish kill occurs, fish are observed in distress, or water quality problems develop that may present a threat to fish life, the Forest Service shall immediately notify the appropriate WDFW Regional Habitat Program Manager. Outside of business hours, notification shall be made to the Washington State Emergency Management Division of the nt of Ecology at 1- 800-258-5990.

Erosion and Wastewater Control

8. Alteration or disturbance of the bed, banks, and vegetation of waterbodies shall be minimized and limited to that necessary to construct the project.

9. Erosion prevention and control methods shall be used as necessary during and immediately after project implementation to minimize loss or displacement of soils and to prevent delivery of sediment into waterbody. These may include, but are not limited to, operational techniques, straw bales, silt fencing, erosion control blankets, temporary sediment ponds, and/or immediate mulching of exposed areas. Disturbed ground with the potential to deliver sediment into waterbodies shall be revegetated or protected from surface erosion by seeding, mulching, other methods prior to the fall rainy season.

10. After project completion, disturbed streambanks and la shall be revegetated with site-appropriate vegetation to maintain soil stability and provide shade and future sources of large wood.

11. Wastewater from project activities shall be routed to an area outside the bankfull channel to allow removal of fine sediment and other contaminants prior to infiltrating back into waterbodies.

Heavy Equipment

12. The use of heavy equipment within the bankfull channel in streams and below the ordinary high water line in lakes is discouraged. If h work is necessary, operation of heavy equipment in these areas shall be minimized.

13. Accumulations of soil or debris shall be removed from drive mechanisms (wheels, tires, tracks, etc.) and undercarriage of all heavy equipment prior to its working within the bankfull channel in streams or below the ordinary high water line in lakes.

14.

petroleum-based products. Equipment shall be checked daily for and any necessary repairs shall be completed prior to commencing work activities. All machinery fueling and maintenance involving petroleum products shall occur at a sufficient distance from stream channels, waterbodies, or wetlands to prevent delivery of potential contaminants. Spill containment equipment and material shall be on site.

In addition to the General Provisions Applicable to Al Projects, the following project-specific provisions apply when conducting permanent culvert removal projects.

1. All fill material and man-made structures shall be removed from stream channels. The natural stream channel profile shall be restored. Bottom widt pening of the fill removal at stream channel crossings shall be equal to, or greater than, the natural bankfull channel width.

2. Streambanks shall be shaped to blend in to the existing natural banks u nd downstream from the crossing removal.

3. Streambed substrates shall mimic the natural streambed s upstream and downstream of the crossing removal. Large woody material and/or large rocks may need to be placed within the crossing removal site to accomplish is objective.

4. The toe of the excavation shall be stabilized with large wood, appropriately sized rock, and/or vegetation as necessary to prevent excessive erosion of the new streambanks.

5. When removing culverts on fish-bearing streams, construction sites shall be dewatered or isolated from flowing waters to prevent generation of sediment and minimize turbidity.

6. Dewatering is not required for culvert or ford removals on non-fish bearing streams unless substantial excavation of stream channel or culvert bedding materials will be required after the existing culvert or structure is removed.

7. Every effort shall be made to avoid stream crossings w h heavy equipment. A single round-trip equipment crossing of the stream channel shall be allo d, if necessary.

Concrete and Treated Wood

NOTE: Permanent stream crossing structures include culverts, that have been in place for more than one year. The following provisions cover the permanent removal of these stream crossing structures.
