2. Failure of the Contractor to fulfill any of the requirements of this Section may result in the Owner ordering the stopping of construction operations.

3. Failure on the part of the Contractor to perform the necessary measures to control erosion, siltation, and pollution will result in the Owner notifying the Contractor to take such measures. In the event the Contractor fails to perform such measures within 24 hours after receipt of such notice, the Owner may stop the Work as provided above, or may proceed to have such measures performed by others. The cost of such work performed by others plus related fees by the Engineer will be deducted from monies due to the Contractor on his Contract.

4. All erosion and pollution control features installed by the Contractor shall be acceptably maintained by the Contractor during the time that construction work is being done.

5. Repair or replace damaged or inoperative erosion and pollution control devices as directed by the

Engineer or the Owner's Representative.

6. Where there is a high potential for erosion and possible water pollution, the Contractor shall not expose, by his construction methods or procedures, an area of erosive land at any one time larger than the minimum amount required for the proper and efficient construction operation. If the exposure of any incomplete work corresponding to the exposure period required for erosion is anticipated, temporary protective measures shall be taken to prevent the erosion or collapse of land in the immediate construction area.

B. Erosion and Pollution Control Schedule:

1. At or prior to the preconstruction conference, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner for his information, an electronic copy of his erosion and pollution control work schedule. This schedule shall show the time relationship between phases of the Work which must be coordinated to reduce erosion and pollution and shall describe construction practices and temporary control measures which will be used to minimize erosion and pollution.

2. The schedule shall also show the Contractor's proposed method of erosion control on haul roads and borrow and material pits, and his plan for disposal of waste materials or other sources of pollution.

3. Maps or other documents may also be required to show the proposed final surface gradient of proposed borrow pits, soil type base course pits, and waste areas.

4. No work shall be started until the erosion and pollution control schedules and methods of operations have been submitted to the Owner for his information.

C. Air Pollution Controls:

1. Contractor shall control dust caused by his operations in the construction of the Project, including but not specifically limited to the following:

a. Clearing, grubbing, and stripping.

b. Excavation and placement of embankment.

c. Cement and aggregate handling.

d. Limerock stabilization.

e. Use of haul roads.

f. Sandblasting or grinding.

01100 - 4

2. Contractor shall control air pollution from the following causes in constructing the project:

a. Volatiles escaping from asphalt and cutback materials.

b. Use of herbicides or fertilizers.

3. Control of dust and other air pollutants by the Contractor shall include:

a. Exposing the minimum area of land.

b. Applying temporary mulch with or without seeding.

c. Use of water sprinkler trucks.

d. Use of covered haul trucks.

e. Use of stabilizing agents in solution.

f. Use of dust palliatives and penetration asphalt on temporary roads.

g. Use of wood chips in traffic and work areas.

h. Use of vacuum-equipped sandblasting systems.

i. Use of plastic sheet coverings.

j. Restricting the application rate of herbicides to recommended dosage.

k. Materials shall be covered and protected from the elements.

l. Application equipment and empty containers shall not be rinsed and discharged so as to pollute a stream, river, lake, pond, water impoundment, or the ground water.

m. Relay of operations until climate or wind conditions dissipate or inhibit the potential pollutants.

D. Open Burning of Combustible Wastes:

1. No open burning of combustible waste materials or vegetation shall be permitted. All waste materials shall be removed from the site or within public rights-of-way and disposed in a legal manner.

E. Permanent and Temporary Water Pollution Control (Soil Erosion):

1. Sufficient precautions shall be taken during construction to minimize the run-off of polluting substances such as silt, clay, fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride, or other polluting materials harmful to humans, fish, or other life, into the supplies and surface waters of the State. Control measures must be adequate to assure that turbidity in the receiving water will not be increased more than allowed by the State or controlling agency. Such measures may consist of construction of berms, dikes, dams, drains and sediment basins, or use of fiber mats, woven plastic filter cloths, gravel, mulches, quick growing grasses, sod, bituminous spray and other erosion control devices or methods approved by the State or controlling agency.

2. The Contractor shall not be permitted frequent fording of live streams with construction equipment; therefor, temporary bridges or other structures shall be used wherever such crossings adversely affect sediment levels and an appreciable number of stream crossings are necessary.

3. The Contractor shall promptly clear all waterways and drainage patterns of false work, piling, debris, or other obstructions placed during construction work and not a part of the finished work.

01100 - 5

4. The Contractor shall remove and dispose of silt accumulations as directed by the Engineer or the

Owner's Representative.

5. If new and additional erosion control structures are to be installed, under this project, to prevent possible future erosion as a result of work under this contract, they shall be constructed concurrently with the other work, as early as possible, and as conditions permit.

F. Noise Control:

1. The Contractor shall provide adequate protection against objectionable noise levels caused by the operation of construction equipment in order to comply with all current City ordinances and these Specifications. Sound levels shall be measured at the exterior of the nearest exterior wall of the nearest residence or building. Levels at construction equipment shall not exceed 85 dBA at any time. Sound levels in excess of allowable values are sufficient cause to have the work halted until equipment can be quieted to these levels. Work stoppage by the Engineer or Owner for excessive noise shall not relieve the Contractor of the other portions of this Specification including, but not limited to, completion dates and bid amounts.

1.14 TREE AND SHRUB PROTECTION AND TRIMMING

A. Contractor shall exercise care to protect all trees and shrubs designated to remain. Trees and shrubs outside construction limits shall remain and shall be protected and where damaged, restored to original condition. Contractor shall obtain approval from the Owner prior to removing any trees. Trees damaged within construction limits due to negligence shall be restored to original condition.

B. Tree limbs which interfere with construction operations and are approved for pruning shall be neatly cut with sharp pruning instruments; do not break or chop. All cut faces shall be coated with an approved tree pruning compound which is waterproof, antiseptic, elastic and free of kerosene, coal tar, creosote and other substances harmful to plants. Pruning operations shall be extended to restore the natural shape of the entire tree or shrub. Do not allow fires under or adjacent to trees or other plants which are to remain.

C. Contractor shall protect tree and shrub root systems. Do not store construction materials, debris or excavated materials beyond construction limits. Do not permit vehicles or construction equipment beyond the limits of utility line construction. Restrict foot traffic to prevent excessive compaction of soil over root system. Excavated material shall be stockpiled away from tree drip lines as approved by the Engineer.

Protect tree and shrub root systems from damage due to noxious materials in solution caused by run-off or spillage during construction operations, or drainage from stored materials. Protect root systems from flooding, erosion or excessive wetting resulting from dewatering operations. Excavate within the drip line of trees only when approved by the Engineer. Where trees are designated to remain within the limits of construction and trenching for utilities is required within tree drip lines, cut roots with sharp pruning instruments; do not break or chop. Paint roots over 2" caliper with approved tree pruning compound.

D. Trees damaged by construction operations shall be repaired promptly after damage occurs to prevent progressive deterioration of damaged trees. Removed trees, branches, roots, and other excess materials shall be removed from the construction site to an approved landfill at the expense of the Contractor.

1.15 SITE CLEANUP AND RESTORATION

A. The Contractor shall keep the working area free at all times of tools, materials and equipment not essential to the progress of the Work. Debris, waste materials, and rubbish shall be properly disposed of and not allowed to accumulate. If the Contractor should fail to do this, the Owner will make the necessary arrangements to affect the cleanup by others and will back charge the cost to the Contractor. If such action becomes necessary on the part of and in the opinion of the Owner, the Owner will not be responsible for the inadvertent removal of material which the Contractor would not have disposed of had he affected the required cleanup.

01100 - 6

B. Where material or debris has washed or flowed into or been placed in watercourses, ditches, gutters, drains, catch basins, or elsewhere as result of the Contractor's operations, such material or debris shall be entirely removed and satisfactorily disposed of during progress of the Work, and the ditches, channels, drains etc., kept in a clean and neat condition.
