1.4 GENERAL

A. The Project’s environmental assessment, titled "Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Clean Water Act Compliance at the Southbay International Wastewater Plant," dated July 2005, was prepared for USIBWC by Parsons, Inc.

B. This document lists environmentally and culturally sensitive areas that need to be protected from any disturbances of construction activities. The environmentally and culturally sensitive areas that were identified in the document are identified below.

1. Environmentally Sensitive Areas:

a. Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, Clean Water Act

Compliance at the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant, Parsons, July 2005.

2. Culturally Sensitive Areas:

a. Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, Clean Water Act

Compliance at the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant, Parsons, July 2005.

3. Biological Resources:

a. Work should be scheduled to occur outside of the bird breeding season whenever possible. The breeding and nesting season is from March 1 through August 31. If work continues into the bird breeding season, the areas proposed for disturbance will be surveyed to avoid the inadvertent destruction of nests and eggs.

4. Natural Resources:

a. Equipment cannot be parked, staged, or used under large, mature trees. Keeping equipment away from the large, mature trees will prevent incidental damage to the trees and prevent compression of root balls.

C. The Contractor shall review and comply with the requirements provided in the environmental documents. The documents are available for Contractor review at:

http://www.ibwc.gov/Organization/Environmental/reports_studies.html .

1.5 PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE

ENVIRONMENT

A. If the Contractor initiates changes to the Contract and USIBWC approves the changes, the Contractor is responsible for obtaining clearances and coordinating with the appropriate regulatory agencies.

B. Culturally Sensitive Areas

1. 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 USIBWC.

July 31, 2015 Environmental Information USIBWC Solicitation IBM15B0002 Page 00.31.24-3

1.6 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

A. The Contractor is required to ensure that all Environmental Permits, Issues, and Comments (EPIC), which are included within the Contract Documents are followed and implemented to ensure potential impacts are avoided.

1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The USIBWC's Environmental Management Division (EMD) will be responsible for submitting the request for project clearance to comply with NEPA. EMD will determine the appropriate NEPA documentation for the project, which will be completed prior to the construction of the project.

1.8 USE OF GEOLOGIC MATERIALS ON A FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECT

A. To ensure preservation of historical and archaeological data, when the Construction Contractor or any subcontractor proposes to use a borrow pit/source/quarry for soil, rock, or gravel, if necessary, the source must first be approved by the COR to ensure compliance with Section 106 of NEPA (36 CFR 800).

B. Submit a map showing the location of proposed sites to the COR at least forty five (45) days in advance of use.

C. Take no action to use or alter the proposed location until written approval for site use is received from the COR.

D. If the quarry or borrow site already provides materials for USACE or other governmental agency, a copy of the environmental approvals from said agencies may be provided to the

COR.

E. Include permission for Government access to any geological source locations.

1.3 GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS

A. A geotechnical investigation for this project was performed by URS Group, Inc. and summarized in their report entitled:

"Geotechnical Investigation, South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements, San Ysidro, California ,” dated February 13, 2015, and Addendum No. 1, dated April 30, 2015.

This investigation included four (4) exploratory borings within the project limits.

The Contractor may request a copy of these geotechnical reports from the USIBWC.

B. List any assumptions made of the geotechnical information in regards to this project.

Only a very small portion of the pertinent subsurface conditions were observed. The recommendations made herein are based on the assumption that soil conditions do not deviate appreciably from those found during our field investigation.

C. The data and report are not intended as a representation or warranty of continuity of conditions between soil borings nor of groundwater levels at the locations, dates, and times other than date and time when measured. The USIBWC neither warrants or guarantees the results of any geotechnical or subsurface investigations as being representative of the site, beyond the actual location of the test specimen(s) nor assumes any responsibility for the manner in which this information may be used or the

Geotechnical Data July 31, 2015 Page 00.31.32-2 USIBWC Solicitation IBM15B0002 conclusions reached in utilizing the information contained in the Contract documents.

Additional test borings and other exploratory operations may be made by Contractor subsequent to award of the Contract.

D. The Contractor shall consider all geotechnical information including geotechnical reports, bore logs, and site visits as a whole. The Contractor shall consider the limitations of any geotechnical tests performed including the auger size, bore hole spacing and location, consistency of bore hole data, as well as the frequency and results of testing. The USIBWC will not be responsible for interpretations or conclusions drawn there by the Contractor.
