CENTRAL FLORIDA TOURISM OVERSIGHT DISTRICT (CFTOD) EROSION

CONTROL NOTES

Written approval of the Erosion Control Plan, NOI and Narrative SWPPP must be received from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD or “District”) prior to submitting to FDEP and before proceeding with project construction. Approval of the proposed plan by the District does not relieve the General Contractor from meeting all local, state, and federal discharge standards.

Contractor shall notify the District’s Compliance Personnel of the project Pre-Construction meeting prior to commencement of construction.

The measures set forth in the Erosion Control Plan are intended as the minimum standards. Any erosion control measure beyond that specified in the Plan, that is required to comply with local, state, and federal law, shall be implemented.

All erosion and sediment control practices must be in accordance with the CFTOD’s (formerly RCID) Land Development Regulations and the Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspectors Handbook.

In the event that erosion prevention and control devices shown in the Erosion control plan prove not to be effective, alternate methods for maintaining state water quality standards for discharge from the construction site will be required. All alternate erosion prevention and control devices must be reviewed and approved by the District designated compliance personnel prior to placement.

All erosion prevention and control measures must be inspected and approved by the District’s designated compliance personnel prior to any construction activities. Removal of these same erosion controls and prevention measures may be done only after authorization is obtained from the District’s designated compliance personnel. Any deviation from this procedure may result in an immediate requirement for work stoppage.

The District does not allow earthen ditch blocks or dams or other erodible material to be placed in live streams, canals, or active water bodies. Ditch blocks or dams must be composed of non-erodible materials. Materials commonly approved by the District are sheet piles, portable cofferdams, inflatable water structures, and other comparable devices.

Hay bales are not allowed as an erosion control device within the District.

Daily inspections shall be made by the General Contractor to determine the effectiveness of sediment and erosion control efforts. Any necessary remedies shall be performed without delay.

All sediment, erosion, and turbidity control measures shall be in working condition at the end of each workday.

The District may elect to restrict or prohibit certain erosion control Best Management Practices due to poor performance or because the device(s) may increase environmental degradation. It is the responsibility of the landowner or its designee to inquire about these restrictions.

Additional erosion controls may be required at the discretion of the District.

1. The Contractor shall design, furnish, install and maintain, at its expense, all necessary erosion control and wetland protection systems, such as silt fences, temporary retention basins, silt screens, synthetic hay bales, floating turbidity barriers, inlet protection systems, filter fabric, sandbags, sheet piling or other approved devices required to prevent erosion and to protect the storm water systems and receiving waters. The Contractor shall be responsible for repairing and/or replacing any and all damage to the erosion protection devices. The Contractor shall maintain all erosion control systems until the Owner certifies that the punch list is complete.

2. The Contractor shall prepare the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

The Contractor shall submit a completed SWPPP to CFTOD Planning and Engineering for review and the Contractor shall make all modifications and refinements to the plan requested by CFTOD Planning and Engineering.

Once all of the modifications have been made to the satisfaction of CFTOD Planning and Engineering, then the Contractor shall sign and certify the SWPPP as the operator and implement the structural erosion control devices.

3. The Contractor shall prepare and submit the NOI to the FDEP and pay all filing fees and secure a permit authorization letter from the EPA and fully comply with all record keeping requirements.

4. The Contractor shall provide a qualified and dedicated erosion and sedimentation control team to inspect and maintain the erosion control and wetland protection systems on a daily basis. The Contractor acknowledges that daily inspection and maintenance requirement is more stringent than the periodic inspections required by the FDEP. The Owner requires more stringent daily inspection and maintenance by a dedicated crew. The Contractor shall remove all erosion and sediment control systems at the conclusion of its Work when authorized to do so by the Owner.

5. The Contractor will be required to maintain at all times, a clear, orderly construction site and ensure the implementation of good housekeeping practices as described in these Contract Documents within the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP).

6. The Contractor shall maintain a power broom on site at all times throughout the Contract Time and sweep the roadways on a daily basis whenever its construction traffic cause dirt or debris to be deposited on the roads or whenever directed to sweep the roads by the Construction Manager.

7. The Contractor shall provide and maintain a water truck at all time during the Contract Time to provide dust control when conditions warrant or as directed by the Construction Manager.

8. Contractor shall utilize lined trucks to haul muck or saturated soils off site.

9. The water quality within the various bodies of water located on the Owner’s property is regularly monitored and compliance with environmental standards is rigidly enforced. The Contractor is advised that should any of the Owner’s ponds, lakes or canals, (or those of adjacent landowner’s) become contaminated due to the Contractor’s actions or inaction, the cost to flocculate, or clean by any means as may be required, shall be paid for by the Contractor.
