OSHA and General Industry Standards apply to worker safety and right-to-know issues. Federal EPA and State agencies regulate waste disposal and air quality issues.

b. Testing: If lead is suspected on an item of equipment, the item shall be tested for the presence of lead. A swipe style test can be used to make this determination and it can be performed by WAPA Environment, electricians or the COR.

c. Working with Lead Painted Equipment: If lead is determined to be present, the equipment may still be recycled. If the item must be cut into pieces to get it on a truck or for any other reason, any resulting paint waste (from the associated cutting sanding, stripping or abrading) is hazardous waste and must be managed as such. The Contractor and COR will consult with WAPA Environmental, who will engage the services of a disposal Contractor and will be onsite to sign the manifest for wastes shipped on a hazardous waste manifest.

d. Transfer of Property: If lead-based paint-containing equipment or material is to be given away or sold for reuse, scrap or reclaiming, the Contractor shall provide a written notice to the recipient stating that the material contains lead-based paint and that the Hazardous Waste regulations may apply to the waste or the paint in some circumstances. The new owner must also be notified that they may be responsible for compliance with OSHA requirements if the material is to be cut, sanded, abraded or stripped of paint. The Contractor will also submit a copy of any required lead paint notices with Contractor and recipient signatures to the COR prior to submittal of final invoice in accordance with the submittals section.

e. Certificates of Disposal and Receipts: Obtain receipts from the landfill or scrap metal recycler and submit copies to the COR prior to submittal of final invoice.

5. CONTRACTOR'S LIABILITY FOR REGULATED MATERIAL INCIDENTS

a. GENERAL: The Contractor is solely liable for all expenses related to spills, mishandling, or incidents of regulated material attributable to his actions or the actions of his subcontractors. This includes all response, investigation, cleanup, disposal, permitting, reporting, and requirements from applicable environmental regulation agencies.

b. SUPERVISION: The actions of the Contractor employees and subcontractors shall be properly managed at all times on WAPA property or while transporting WAPA’s (or previously owned by WAPA) regulated material and equipment.

c. All significant (>10 gallon or any amount to surface water) spills shall be reported immediately to the COR, the Construction Inspector, and to Environment. Disposal of waste generated from spill response activities shall be managed according to the provisions of the Waste Management section of this document, and in accordance with federal, state, and local waste regulations. In the event of a spill, the Contractor is solely liable for all expenses related to spills, mishandling, or incidents of regulated material (such as, but not limited to petroleum products and corrosive materials) attributable to its employees’ actions or the actions of its subcontractors. This includes all response, investigation, cleanup, and disposal costs. In the event of a spill, SN Environment will choose the spill response and disposal contractor and the laboratory, and shall direct their activities, and the Contractor will be responsible to pay for the work of these subcontractors

6. POLLUTANT SPILL PREVENTION, NOTIFICATION AND CLEANUP

a. General: Provide measures to prevent spills of pollutants and respond appropriately if a spill occurs. A pollutant includes any hazardous or non-hazardous substance that when spilled, will contaminate soil, surface water or ground water. This includes any solvent, fuel, oil, paint, pesticide, engine coolants and similar substances.

b. Spill Prevention Notification and Cleanup Plan (Plan): Provide the Plan to the COR for review and comment 14 -days prior to start of work. Review of the Plan is for the purpose of determining compliance with the specifications only and shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for compliance with all Federal, State and local regulations. Include the following in the Plan:

(1) Spill Prevention Measures: Describe the work practices or precautions that will be used at the jobsite to prevent spills. These may include engineered or manufactured techniques such as installation of berms around fuel and oil tanks; storage of fuels, paints and other substances in spill proof containers; and management techniques such as requiring workers to handle material in certain ways.

(2) Notification: Most States and the Environmental Protection Agency require by regulation that anyone who spills certain types of pollutants in certain quantities notify them of the spill within a specific time period. Some of these agencies require written follow up reports and cleanup reports. Include in the Plan the types of spills for which notification would be made, the agencies notified, the information the agency requires during the notification, and the telephone numbers for notification.

(a) If a spill happens that is over 10-gallons, or any amount reaches a waterway:

1) Contact the COR immediately.

2) Call SNR Dispatch Emergency at 916-353-2201.

(3) Employee Awareness Training: Describe employee awareness training procedures that will be implemented to ensure personnel are knowledgeable about the contents of the Plan and the need for notification.

(4) Commitment of Manpower: Equipment and Material. Identify the arrangements made to respond to spills, including the commitment of manpower, equipment and material.

(5) If applicable, address all requirements of 40CFR112 pertaining to Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plans.

d. For work occurring at the Folsom and Roseville substations, the following standard operating procedures apply:

(1) Keep the equipment in good operating condition to reduce exhaust emissions for all methods using machinery or vehicles (such as chainsaws, trucks and graders).

(2) Keep equipment logs and set schedules for preventative maintenance.

(3) Periodically replace older equipment with equipment meeting more recent stringent California emission standards.

(4) Shut down rather than idle equipment not in active use.

(5) Avoid major operations on days when the local Air Quality Index is expected to exceed

150.

8. CONSERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES

a. General: Federal law prohibits the “take” of endangered, threatened, proposed or candidate wildlife and plants and destruction or adverse modification of designated Critical Habitat.

Federal law also prohibits the “take” of birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. “Take” means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect or attempt to engage in any such conduct with a protected animal or plant or any part thereof, or attempt to do any of those things without a permit from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Contractor will take precautions to avoid harming all wildlife species and native plants. The Contractor shall restrict all ground disturbing activities to areas that have been surveyed by WAPA for natural resources and as specified in accordance with Standard 1 – General Requirements, Sections 1.3.1 Rights-of-Way and 1.3.2 Access to the Work and Haul Routes.

b. Environmental Awareness Training: Prior to the start of project activities, all personnel will participate in environmental awareness training which will inform them of the sensitive habitats within the project area, the species that have the potential to occur in the project area and the avoidance and minimization measures that are to be adhered to during project activities. Any new crew members that start after project activities have commenced will be given the environmental awareness training prior to working onsite.

c. Known Occurrence of Protected Species or Habitat: Following issuance of the notice to proceed, and prior to the start of construction, WAPA will provide training to all Contractor and subcontractor personnel and others involved in the construction activity if there is a known occurrence of protected species or habitat in the construction area. Untrained personnel shall not be allowed in the construction area. WAPA will provide drawings or maps showing sensitive areas located on or immediately adjacent to the transmission line right-of-way and/or facility. These sensitive areas shall be considered avoidance areas.

Prior to any construction activity, the avoidance areas shall be marked on the ground by WAPA. If access is absolutely necessary, the Contractor shall first obtain written permission from the COR, noting that a WAPA and/or other Federal or State government or tribal agency biologist may be required to accompany personnel and equipment. Ground markings shall be maintained through the duration of the contract. WAPA will remove the markings during or following final inspection of the project.

d. Unknown Occurrence of Protected Species or Habitat: On rare occasions a protected species or habitat may be discovered during the project. If evidence of a protected species is found in the project area, the Contractor shall immediately notify the COR and provide the location, date and nature of the findings. The Contractor shall stop all activity within 200-feet of the protected species or habitat and not proceed until directed to do so by the

COR.

e. Migratory Birds and Raptors: Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, migratory bird species and their nests and eggs are protected from injury or death. Impacts to migratory bird nests shall be avoided during the nesting season(s) identified in Division 13 of the Project Specifications. If construction activities occur during the nesting season (January 1 – August 15), WAPA will survey the construction area for migratory bird nests prior to construction activities and establish appropriate buffers around any nests that may potentially be disturbed. If work must be conducted within these buffers, a WAPA-supplied biological monitor will be onsite for construction activities within the buffers. If the biological monitor determines that activities are likely to cause nest impacts or nest abandonment, then construction activities in the area shall be postponed until nestlings have fledged or the nest is no longer active.

9. LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

a. General: Preserve landscape features in accordance with the contract clause titled “Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities and Improvements”.

Exercise care to preserve the natural landscape and conduct activities to prevent any unnecessary destruction, scarring or defacing of the natural surroundings in the project vicinity. Except where clearing is required for permanent works, approved construction roads or excavation operations, vegetation shall be preserved and shall be protected from damage by project operations and equipment.

b. Construction Facilities: Shop, office, material lay down and material and equipment storage areas and yard areas shall be located and arranged in a manner to preserve trees and vegetation to the maximum practicable extent and prevent impact on sensitive riparian areas and flood plains. Storage and construction buildings, including concrete footings and slabs, shall be removed from the site prior to contract completion. The area shall be re-graded as required so that all surfaces drain naturally, blend with the natural terrain and are left in a condition that will facilitate natural revegetation, provide for proper drainage and prevent erosion or transport of sediment and pollutants. If re-vegetation is required, use seed mixtures as recommended by Natural Resources Conservation Service or other land managing agency as appropriate.

10. PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES

a. General: Do not, at any time, remove, disturb or otherwise alter cultural artifacts or paleontological resources (fossils). Cultural artifacts may be of scientific or cultural importance and include, but are not limited to bones, pottery, projectile points (arrowheads), other stone or metal tools, surface features (stone circles, rock piles, etc.), glass, metal, ceramic or other historic objects, structures and buildings (including ruins). Paleontological resources can be of scientific importance and include mineralized animals and plants or trace fossils such as footprints. Both cultural and paleontological resources are protected by Federal Regulations during Federal construction projects. The Contractor shall restrict all ground disturbing activities to areas reviewed/investigated and approved WAPA by the Regional Preservation Officer and as specified in accordance with Standard 1 – General Requirements, Sections 1.3.1 Rights-of-Way and 1.3.2 Access to the Work and Haul Routes.

b. Unknown Cultural or Paleontological Sites: On rare occasions cultural or paleontological sites may be discovered during excavation or other earth-moving or other construction activities.

(1) Reporting: If evidence of a cultural or paleontological site is discovered, cease work in the area immediately and notify the COR of the location and nature of the findings.

If a monitor is present, the monitor should also be notified. Stop all activities within a 200-foot radius of the discovery and do not proceed with work within that radius until directed to do so by the COR.

(2) Care of Evidence: Protect the area. Do not remove, handle, alter or damage artifacts or fossils uncovered during construction activities.
