2. The required Sediment Control Plan is a plan for controlling erosion and sediment during construction in compliance with the laws, ordinances, and the Construction Best Management Practice Manual available from the Division of Environmental Protection - Water Resources Division, Planning Branch in Charleston, West Virginia.

The Contractor shall follow the "Best Management Practices" during construction, consisting of utilizing the best selection of erosion control practices and sediment trapping facilities in conjunction with adequate levels of control.

3. General requirements of the Sediment Control Plan include, but are not limited to the following:

a. Revegetation - All work areas will be seeded and mulched within two (2) weeks of completing construction for that specific area. Permanent vegetative cover should be compatible with adjacent land and/or restored to original condition. All areas where temporary seeding or mulching has been applied will be permanently seeded and mulched immediately after final grading to establish vegetative cover compatible with adjacent land. See Landscape Work specifications for complete seeding requirements.

b. Other Construction Practices - Any water pumped from excavated areas shall not be discharged directly into any watercourse. Adequate provisions must be taken to prevent sediment and erosion from entering the watercourse.

0.5-6

H. Erosion Control

1. Prior to any major construction, the Contractor shall be responsible for reviewing, if any existing erosion control measures and/or structures on the construction that are available for use. The Contractor shall be responsible for surface drainage from cuts and fills within the construction limits, whether or not completed, and from waste disposal areas. In the event turbidity producing materials are present, the Contractor shall be responsible to control erosion with WVDEP approved methods with no increase or additions to the contract. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations shall be held to a minimum. Fills and waste areas shall be constructed by selective placement to eliminate silts or clays on the surface that will erode and contaminate the streams.

I. Air Pollution

1. The Contractor shall exercise every reasonable precaution throughout the life of the project to keep air pollution to a minimum. The Contractor shall also comply with the applicable regulations of the WVDEP Division of Air Quality. During times of limited dispersion, construction operations may be suspended.

2. Time lost due to a suspension of work under this item shall be added on to the Contract Time.

J. Protection of Archeological and Historical Findings

1. Should the Contractor's excavation operations encounter remains of prehistoric people's dwelling sites or artifacts of historical or archeological significance, the operation in that locality shall be temporarily discontinued. The Engineer will contact appropriate authorities to determine the disposition thereof.

2. When directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall excavate the site in such a manner as to preserve the artifacts encountered and shall remove them for delivery to the custody of the proper State authorities. Such excavation will be considered as an extra amount of work, and shall be paid for with a Change order.

3. The time lost due to a temporary work stoppage under this item shall be added on to the Contract Time.
