1.2.1 Detail his proposal for implementing the requirements for environmental pollution control specified herein.

1.2.2 Meeting: Meet with representatives of the Contracting Officer to review and alter his proposal as needed for compliance with the environmental pollution control program,

3. EXECUTION:

3.1 PRECONSTRUCTION SURVEY: Prior to start of any on-site construction activities, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall make a joint condition survey after which the Contractor shall prepare a brief report indicating on a layout plan the condition of trees, shrubs and grassed areas immediately adjacent to the site of the work and adjacent to his assigned storage area and access route as applicable. This report will be signed by both the Contracting Officer and Contractor upon mutual agreement as to its accuracy and completeness.

3.2 PROTECTION OF LAND AREAS: Except for work areas, storage areas, or access routes specifically assigned for the use of the Contractor under this contract, the land areas outside the limits of permanent work performed under this contract shall be preserved in their present condition. The Contractor shall confine his construction activities to areas defined for work on the plans or specifically assigned for his use. Storage and related areas and access routes required temporarily by the Contractor in the performance of the work will be assigned by the Contracting Officer.

3.3 PROTECTION OF TREES AND SHRUBS: Except for trees or shrubs marked on the plans to be removed, the Contractor shall not deface, injure or destroy trees or shrubs, nor remove or cut them without special authority. No ropes, cables, or guys shall be fastened to or attached to any existing nearby trees for anchorage.

3.3.1 Tree Protective Structures: Where, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, trees may possibly be defaced, bruised, injured, or otherwise damaged by the Contractor's equipment or by his other operations, he may direct the Contractor to provide temporary protection of such trees by placing boards, planks, or poles around them.

3.3.2 Restoration of Damaged Trees: Any tree scarred or damaged by the Contractor's equipment or operations shall be restored as nearly as possible to its original condition at the Contractor's expense. All scars

01430 - 1 made on trees not designated on the plans to be removed by construction operations shall be coated as soon as possible with an approved tree wound dressing. Trees that are to remain, either within or outside established clearing limits, that are damaged by the Contractor so as to be beyond saving in the opinion of the Contracting Officer shall be immediately removed, if so directed, and replaced with a nursery-grown tree of the same species and size.

State requirements, however no permit will be necessary. "Land application" implies that the Contractor shall discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting action, soil erosion, discharge into storm sewers, defined drainage areas, or discharge into the "waters of the State" shall occur. The Contractor shall contact the State of North Dakota, Division of Water Quality, Water Quality and Permit Program to discuss the water quality parameters for chemical contaminants (such as chlorine), oil, grease and total suspended solids and shall ensure that all water intended for land application will meet the State requirements.

Waters that are surface discharged may terminate in drainage ditches, creeks, or "waters of the State" and require a discharge permit. The State of North Dakota requires a minimum of 30 days to process the permit application. Prior to

01430 - 2 dewatering, the Contractor shall submit a copy of the completed application form, a copy of the North Dakota NPDES General Permit for Construction Dewatering and /or Hydrostatic Testing #NDG-070000 issued by the State of North Dakota for this contract any subsequent reports and/or information required by the permit or State.

3.7 DUST CONTROL: The Contractor shall maintain all excavations, embankments, stockpiles, access roads, plant sites, waste areas, borrow areas, and all other work areas free from excess dust to such reasonable degree as to avoid causing a hazard or nuisance. Temporary methods consisting of sprinkling, chemical treatment, light bituminous treatment or similar methods will be permitted to control dust. Dust control shall be performed as the work proceeds and whenever a dust nuisance or hazard occurs.

3.8 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL: The Contractor shall be responsible for providing erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be such that local, state, and federal water quality standards are not violated as a result of the Contractor's construction activities. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be held to a minimum. For areas subject to erosion including, but not limited to, steep slopes, soils spreading areas, and stockpile areas, the Contractor shall disturb as little vegetation as possible, minimize the period of time that the soil is exposed, prevent surface water runoff from flowing across disturbed areas, stabilize disturbed soils as soon as possible, and provide adequate drainage for the increased runoff. Sedimentation/erosion control features may include, but not be limited to, vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins. Runoff management practices should be employed in areas where the potential for storm water contamination exists that can not be addressed by a prevention or source reduction measure. Runoff management procedures may include vegetative swales, reuse of collected storm water, infiltration devices, and detention/sedimentation basins. Any erosion and sediment control measures which are damaged or found to be ineffective shall be remedied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. Any areas damaged by erosion shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

3.9 CORRECTIVE ACTION: The Contractor shall, upon receipt of a notice in writing of any noncompliance with the foregoing provisions, take immediate corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken.
