Erosion Control Plan

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

NONE

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 - Plan and Construction The Contractor shall submit an Erosion Control Plan to the Engineer for approval prior to the beginning of any ground disturbing activities. The plan shall specify both temporary and permanent measures for erosion control, at specific locations, during specified stages of work. All permanent erosion control features shall be incorporated into the project at the earliest practicable time to minimize the need for temporary erosion control. Permanent erosion control features are SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Clearing and grubbing shall be scheduled and performed so that grading operations and permanent erosion control measures can follow without interference.

The plan shall include drawings identifying the locations of erosion control measures as well as a narrative discussion. The plan should also identify the individual responsible for insuring the erosion control measures are implemented.

Elements that shall be considered in an Erosion Control Plan are:

1. Minimize the amount of clearing and grubbing and limit exposure of erodible area. The Arizona Water Quality Control Council for Construction and Related Activities in Water recommends limiting exposure of erodible surface to 750,000 square feet at any one time.

2. Measures to minimize off-site runoff onto cleared areas. These could include berms, diversions or drains to convey off-site runoff around or through cleared areas.

3. Measures to prevent sediments from disturbed areas from reaching stream channels or water bodies. These could include hay or straw bale checks to act as erosion filters and barriers at the toe of fills and as erosion checks in ditches, pipe outlets, and drainage channels. Rock check dams may be used to trap sediments in ditches or drainages. Sediment basins may be constructed to capture on-site runoff to settle sediments before water is discharged to natural channels or water bodies.

4. Wash water from aggregate washing or other operations containing mud or silt shall be treated by filtration or retention in a settling pond, or ponds, adequate to prevent muddy water from entering stream channels or water bodies. The location of aggregate washing operations and filtration or retention facilities shall be identified on drawings submitted with the Erosion Control Plan.

5. Oily or greasy substances originating from the contractors operations shall be removed from the National Forest lands and disposed in an approved site. Portland cement, fresh portland cement concrete, and wash water from concreting operations shall not be disposed of except at sites approved by the Engineer.

6. Excavation and/or fill material shall not be placed in drainage channels at any time. Existing channel flows shall not be restricted at any time during construction except by structures specifically intended to trap or filter sediments or other pollutants. Material derived from roadway work shall not be deposited in stream channels. The Contractor shall not operate equipment in live streams except as approved by the Engineer. Construction equipment shall cross drainage channels only at crossings designated by the Engineer.

7. The Contractor shall operate and maintain all temporary pollution and erosion control features in a functional condition during the life of the contract. When depth of materials retained in these facilities reaches three-fourths capacity, the facilities shall be cleaned and restored to their original condition. Material cleaned from these facilities shall be disposed of at a site approved by the Engineer or incorporated into the work where feasible.

8. Removal and disposal of all temporary erosion control devices shall be specified in the Erosion Control Plan.
