TEMPORARY SOIL EROSION AND WATER POLLUTION CONTROL - 01020

This work consists of temporary measures as specified herein or directed by the Engineer to control soil erosion and water pollution, through the use of berms, dikes, dams, sediment basins, silt fences, brush barriers, fiber mats, netting, mulches, grasses, slope drains, and other devices or methods.

The control provisions shall be coordinated with the permanent erosion control features in the contract to ensure economical, effective, and continuous protection throughout the construction period.

Erosion Control Plan

NONE

3.1 - Plan and Construction

The Contractor shall submit an Erosion Control Plan to the Engineer for approval prior to the beginning of any ground disturbing activities. The plan shall specify both temporary and permanent measures for erosion control, at specific locations, during specified stages of work. All permanent erosion control features shall be incorporated into the project at the earliest practicable time to minimize the need for temporary erosion control. Permanent erosion control features are SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Clearing and grubbing shall be scheduled and performed so that grading operations and permanent erosion control measures can follow without interference.

The plan shall include drawings identifying the locations of erosion control measures as well as a narrative discussion. The plan should also identify the individual responsible for insuring the erosion control measures are implemented.

Elements that shall be considered in an Erosion Control Plan are:

1. Minimize the amount of clearing and grubbing and limit exposure of erodible area.

The Arizona Water Quality Control Council for Construction and Related Activities in Water recommends limiting exposure of erodible surface to 750,000 square feet at any one time.

2. Measures to minimize off-site runoff onto cleared areas. These could include berms, diversions or drains to convey off-site runoff around or through cleared areas.

3. Measures to prevent sediments from disturbed areas from reaching stream channels or water bodies. These could include hay or straw bale checks to act as erosion filters and barriers at the toe of fills and as erosion checks in ditches, pipe outlets, and drainage channels. Rock check dams may be used to trap sediments in ditches or drainages. Sediment basins may be constructed to capture on-site runoff to settle sediments before water is discharged to natural channels or water bodies.

4. Wash water from aggregate washing or other operations containing mud or silt shall be treated by filtration or retention in a settling pond, or ponds, adequate to prevent muddy water from entering stream channels or water bodies. The location of aggregate washing operations and filtration or retention facilities shall be identified on drawings submitted with the Erosion Control Plan.

5. A lined and bermed facility shall be maintained for fuel storage if the contractor elects to store fuel within the limits of the Kaibab National Forest. This facility shall be located above the limits of the 100 year floodplain of any drainage channel.

6. Oily or greasy substances originating from the contractors operations shall be removed from the National Forest lands and disposed in an approved site. Portland cement, fresh Portland cement concrete, and wash water from concreting operations shall not be disposed of except at sites approved by the Engineer.

7. Excavation and/or fill material shall not be placed in drainage channels at any time. Existing channel flows shall not be restricted at any time during construction except by structures specifically intended to trap or filter sediments or other pollutants. Material derived from roadway work shall not be deposited in stream

01020 - 10 channels. The Contractor shall not operate equipment in live streams except as approved by the Engineer. Construction equipment shall cross drainage channels only at crossings designated by the Engineer.

8. The Contractor shall operate and maintain all temporary pollution and erosion control features in a functional condition during the life of the contract. When depth of materials retained in these facilities reaches three-fourths capacity, the facilities shall be cleaned and restored to their original condition. Material cleaned from these facilities shall be disposed of at a site approved by the Engineer or incorporated into the work where feasible.

9. Removal and disposal of all temporary erosion control devices shall be specified.

There will be no separate measurement of this item.

This work is incidental to other items in the contract and direct separate payment will not be made.

DIVISION 1 – GENERAL

NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL – 01030

This work consists of incorporating weed prevention and control within the project site. The Contractor shall prevent new weed infestations and the spread of existing weed infestations within the project site as specified herein and AS SHOWN ON

THE DRAWINGS.

171 – Weed and Disease Prevention 200 – Clearing and Grubbing 203 – Removal of Structures and Obstructions

None.

3.1 - Equipment

The Contractor shall ensure all equipment brought onto the forest is thoroughly washed/cleaned in order to remove all soil, vegetative matter, and other debris prior to entering the forest. Particular attention shall be given to the under carriage and any other surface where soil containing weed seed and propagules may exist. All equipment shall be inspection by the Forest Service. Only construction and maintenance equipment, and the equipment necessary to transport said equipment, so cleaned and inspected by the Forest Service, shall be allowed to operate within the project area. All subsequent move-ins of equipment to the project area shall be treated in the same manner as the initial move-in. This requirement does not apply to service vehicles, water trucks, pickups, cars, and/or similar vehicles.

The Contractor shall employ cleaning methods, approved by the Forest Service, to ensure that construction and maintenance equipment is free of noxious weeds.

Equipment shall be considered free of soil, seed, and other such debris when a visual inspection does not disclose such material. Equipment or component disassembly, or the need for specialized tools, are not required.

Unless otherwise agreed, the Contractor shall give the Forest Service at least 24 hours notice when equipment is ready for inspection. Notification will include an agreed upon location where the equipment will be available for inspection by the Forest Service. Inspection will be required after every cleaning.

3.2 – General Project Work

The Contractor shall minimize soil surface disturbance wherever possible.

All fill and surfacing material sources shall be approved by the Engineer prior to being transported to the project site. All sources shall be free of noxious weed contamination.

New infestations of noxious weeds of concern to Forest Service and identified by either Contractor or Forest Service, on the project site or on haul routes the Contractor plans to use, shall be promptly reported to the other party. Contractor and Forest Service shall agree on treatment methods to reduce or prevent the spread of noxious weeds when new infestations are found. A current list of noxious weeds of concern to Forest Service is available at each Forest Service office.
