Payment of two-thirds of the lump sum price bid for Item 2.0 shall be made with the first monthly progress payment. Payment of one-third of the lump sum price bid will be made with the progress payment following completion of all work. Payment will only be made upon approval from the PROJECT MANAGER.

Item 3.0: Install Mine Closures Closure of the following hazardous mine features shall include all costs associated with the work of safeguarding and revegetating the features in accordance with the 2009 General Bid Specifications and all applicable regulations.

SEDIMENT CONTROL

Any safety closure work involving disturbance to the ground will require sediment control measures. It will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to implement these measures to ensure sediment generated during construction activities does not migrate from the project site.

Features requiring sediment control measures will be specified in the work description for each feature. The cost for constructing sediment controls shall be included in the price bid for closure of each mine feature.

The surface of disturbed ground will be intensely roughened to minimize sediment transport. This will be done by digging gouges or trenches perpendicular to the slope over the entire surface of disturbed ground and by creating small earthen berms approximately six inches (6”) in height along the downhill edge or toe of all disturbed areas. The ends of the berm shall extend beyond the area of disturbance by approximately eighteen inches (18”) and tie into the uphill slope to effectively catch any sediment.

REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS

All areas disturbed during reclamation work and any other areas specified in these Special Conditions will be revegetated according to the Revegetation Specifications, SWS 20, in the General Bid Specifications 2009. Commercial fertilizer and weed-free mulch is required for this project. Seed will be supplied by the OWNER. Cost for revegetation must be included in the lump sum price bid for each mine closure.

U. WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME (WNS)

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a malady of unknown origin that has killed hundreds of thousands of bats across the northeast United States and continues unchecked. Evidence suggests that the disease can be transported from site-to-site on boots, clothes, and gear of mine workers. Therefore, the following actions are required to reduce the risks of spreading

WNS.

1. Workers in and around mines will use clothing, boots, and gear that has NEVER been used in caves or mines in affected or adjacent states.

2. Following completion of work , all equipment, gear, boots, and clothing will be thoroughly decontaminated following the protocols below:

Step #1: Upon exiting a mine:

• Thoroughly scrape or brush off any dirt and mud from clothes, boots, and gear and place them in a sealed plastic bag or plastic container with lid to be cleaned and disinfected off site. It is important to keep clean clothing, gear, and boots isolated from potentially contaminated items at all times until they have been properly decontaminated.

• Outer clothing should be removed prior to entering a vehicle after/between a site visit. A clean change of clothing is recommended. Surface cleaning of exposed skin (arms, face, neck, hands, etc.) with antibacterial hand sanitizer (i.e. Purell®) should occur prior to entering the vehicle’s cab.

Step #2: Upon return to shop or office / Prior to entering another mine:

• For clothing – Wash all clothing and appropriate equipment in washing machine using the hottest cycle possible for material and conventional detergents. Laboratory testing has found Woolite® fabric wash to be the best surfactant for clothing. Rinse thoroughly, and then follow by soaking with household bleach solution diluted to 1 part bleach to 9 parts water in a tub or plastic container. Soak for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water and air dry.

• For submersible gear (i.e. soft-sided gear) – Disinfect any equipment that can be submersed in a solution of household bleach diluted to 1 part bleach to 9 parts water in a

As of 06/08/09 Page 7 tub or plastic container or 3% concentration of Lysol® All-purpose Professional Cleaner or the antibacterial form of Formula 409®. Keep submersed for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water and air dry.

• For non-submersible gear (i.e. hard-sided gear) – Disinfect any equipment that cannot be submersed by applying an appropriate and compatible disinfectant to the outside surface by using 3% concentration of Lysol® All-purpose Professional Cleaner, Lysol® disinfecting wipes or the antibacterial form of Formula 409®; or use household bleach solution diluted to 1 part bleach to 9 parts water. Keep on surface for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water and air dry.

• For boots – Boots need to be carefully scrubbed and rinsed so that all soil and organic material is removed. Rubber and leather boots, including soles and leather uppers, must then be disinfected with an appropriate disinfectant such as 3 Lysol® All-purpose Professional Cleaner or the antibacterial form of Formula 409® household bleach)solution diluted to 1 part bleach to 9 parts water. Keep on surface for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water and air dry.

• For ropes and harnesses – This equipment should be dedicated to one mine.

Decontamination of vertical equipment is recommended.
