AVAILABLE INFORMATION 00.31.21

SURVEY INFORMATION

For these Contract Drawings, surveying and data collection was performed as follows:

(1) Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) was obtained from the Government and used for preliminary information.

(2) Control was performed in April / May 2009 by Frank X. Spencer & Associates., who developed and provided the following (at .01-foot accuracy):

(a) Control. The surveyor established points at cross-roads to establish horizontal and vertical control; control sheets were developed for each control point set, signed and sealed by a New Mexico Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS). The control sheet includes a drawing of the control point with a 3-point tie to existing physical features, description of the control point, X,Y & Z coordinates and the coordinate system. Plan Sheet No. 2.08- 2.09, within the Contract Drawings includes the control information data for all the control points set for the project, signed and sealed by the RPLS.

(b) Benchmarks. The surveyor established bench marks along project limits; vertical benchmarks were set at 1000-foot intervals at the right of way (ROW) line of the levee reach. A tabulation of the benchmarks is shown on the Plan Sheets within the Contract Drawings.

(3) Ultimately, an aerial survey (at 0.1-foot accuracy) was performed in April / May 2009 by Martinez Corporation who developed and provided the following, which was used as the basis of design:

(a) Field Control for Photogrammetry. The surveyor set panels for aerial photogrammetry along the levee reach for a low-level flight (1500 feet). Panels were set along the flight path at 800-foot intervals and wing panels were set at cross-roads or 2400-foot intervals.

The surveyor performed a global positioning (GPS) survey to establish x-y-z coordinates of the panel points.

(b) Aerial Photogrammetry. The aerial photogrammetry was developed as follows:

1. Black and white photography at a 1-inch = 250-foot photo scale (1500 feet above ground level (AGL))

2. Data Processing. The aerial photography was scanned at 12 microns to produce 0.25-foot pixel resolution; aerial triangulation process was performed to orient individual stereo pairs.

SURVEY INFORMATION

USIBWC Contract No.: IBM05D0001 Page 00.31.21 - 2

3. Planimetric and Topographic Data Compilation. Planimetric and topographic data was compiled (suitable for 1-inch = 50-foot map scale showing 1-foot contours.

4. Digital Orthophotos. A digital elevation model (DEM) or digital terrain model (DTM) was created for the project area to support the orthophoto rectification; rectified mosaic digital images to hold 0.25-foot ground pixel resolutions suitable for a 1-inch = 50-foot map scale.

(4) Supplemental ground surveys were performed by SLI Engineering Inc., and Frank X. Spencer & Associates. Data as follows:

(a) Voids. A topographic survey was performed by the surveyors to fill-in the voids of the aerial planimetrics; additionally, the surveyor performed topographic survey on existing structures, including bridges, inlets, culverts and irrigation structures.

(b) ROW Verification. The surveyors recovered and staked ROW points from available ROW maps supplied by the Government. This ROW information is shown on the plan / profile sheets of the Contract Drawings.

(c) Utility Survey. The surveyors coordinated with utility notification companies to get utilities marked in the field; the surveyor performed field location of underground utilities as marked by utility companies along the levee reach and intersecting streets. These locations are shown on the plan / profile sheets of the Contract Drawings. NOTE: IT IS THE

CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY LOCATIONS OF ALL EXISTING

UTILITIES (SHOWN AND NOT SHOWN ON THE CONTRACT DRAWINGS) PRIOR

TO CONSTRUCTION.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION 00.31.24

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT INFORMATION

The Project’s environmental documents can be obtained from the United States International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) and are available for the Contractor to review upon request.

1. Establishing and Acquisition Authorities. Various authorities include:

• Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 [16 U.S.C. 742f (a) (4)], [16 U.S.C. 742f(b)(1)]

• An Act Authorizing the Transfer of Certain Real Property for Wildlife, or other purposes [16

U.S.C. 667b]

• Refuge Recreation Act, as amended [16 U.S.C. 460k-1], [16 U.S.C. 460k-2]

• Migratory Bird Treaty Act [16 U.S.C. 703]

• National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997

Abatement and Mitigation of Excessive or Unnecessary Noise. Minimize noise throughout all phases of the Contract. Exercise particular and special efforts to avoid the creation of unnecessary noise impact on adjacent noise sensitive receptors in the placement of non-mobile equipment such as air compressors, generators, pumps, etc. Place mobile and stationary equipment to cause the least disruption of normal adjacent activities.

All equipment associated with the work must be equipped with components to suppress excessive noise and these components must be maintained in their original operating condition considering normal depreciation. Noise attenuation devices installed by the manufacturer such as mufflers, engine covers, insulation, etc. must not be removed nor rendered ineffectual nor be permitted to remain off the equipment while the equipment is in use.

Preservation of Cultural and Natural Resources and the Environment. If the Contractor initiates changes to the Contract and IBWC approves the changes, the Contractor is responsible for obtaining clearances and coordinating with the appropriate regulatory agencies.

A. Cultural Resources. Cease all work immediately if a site, building, or location of historical, archeological, educational, or scientific interest is discovered within the right of way. The site, building, or location will be investigated and evaluated by IBWC.

B. New Mexico Environmental Department for the Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3). The contractor will file the Notice of Intent (NOI) and the Notice of Termination (NOT) for work shown on the plans in the right of way.

Adhere to all requirements of the SWP3.

C. Work in Waters of the United States. For work in the right of way, IBWC will obtain any required Section 404 permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before work begins. Adhere to all agreements, mitigation plans, and standard best management practices required by the permit.
