b. Non-native invasive species can be inadvertently moved with construction equipment, Personal protective equipment, hand tools, foot traffic, vehicles, vessels, raw construction materials, and packing materials.

c. Conduct vehicle washdown and inspection for soil and other material to prevent the inadvertent movement of invasive species from the project site to other locations. Establish appropriate facilities that comply with all environmental laws and regulations, and promptly take corrective or preventative actions for noncompliance. Include these details in a biosecurity/Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan and environmental briefs.

d. Submit a biosecurity/HACCP Plan, prepared in accordance with USFWS HACCP Manual for all imported equipment and imported construction materials and supplies. The HACCP plan must address, as a minimum, the identification and control of invasive and non-native species in construction equipment and construction materials and supplies.

e. Implement and update the HACCP plan accordingly to reduce the risk of spreading invasive species. The HACCP development team should include at least two members, one member with biological expertise with invasive species and one member from the project team who has a clear understanding of the project activities and requirements. Contractor is responsible for training all personnel on the project specific HACCP requirements once the plan is approved by the Government.
