1.7 PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES

A.	Protect environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the limits of permanent work during the entire period of this contract and after the project is complete, based upon leaving the site that has yet to mature of hydroseeding. Confine construction activities to areas defined by construction limits, the specifications and drawings.
B.	Protection of Land Resources: Prior to construction, identify all land resources to be preserved within the work area. Do not remove, cut, deface, injure, or destroy land resources including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, top soil, land forms, wetlands or wetland buffers without prior approval from the COR. Do not fasten or attach ropes, cables, or guys to trees for anchorage unless specifically authorized, or dictated by special emergency use.
1.	Work Area Limits: Prior to any construction, mark/fence/protect the areas that require work to be performed under this contract. Prior to construction, mark/fence/protect monuments, works of art, and any other markers to remain. Convey to all personnel the purpose of marking and protecting all marked and protected objects. Note: The work area limits including onsite laydown (construction fence boundary) is the area that will be used to determine the need for a Construction Stormwater Permit, not just the size of the addition, structure, or building.
2.	Protection of Specific Regulated Elements: Wetlands and wetland buffers and other landscape features shown on the drawings to be preserved by marking, fencing, or using any other approved protective techniques. Adhere to local requirements such as the City of Hampton Ordnances, as well as the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act.
a.	Protect trees and shrubs to remain on site to protect from damage per contract details.
b.	All damage to existing trees and shrubs shall be immediately repaired by trimming, cleaning, and painting with antiseptic tree paint. See Section 02 41 19.
c.	Do not store building materials or perform construction activities closer to existing trees or shrubs than the farthest extension of their limbs.
3.	Reduction of Exposure of Unprotected Erodible Soils: Plan and conduct earthwork to minimize the duration of exposure of unprotected soils. Clear areas only as needed to use to work the area to be developed. Form earthwork to final grade as shown as quickly as possible to minimize potential erosion damage. The Contractor must stabilize soil within seven days after final grade has been reached. Final grade must match the surrounding undisturbed surface (shall not create a new flow direction unless required by other aspects of the project). This may include backfilling the area. Appropriate backfilling is using select fill to within 4 inches of normal ground elevation. Soil shall be compacted to provide stability and then topsoil be placed to return to normal elevation. Contractor must use Tall Fescue or Virginia native equivalent grass to seed. Topsoil shall be applied to a minimum depth of 2 inches and be raked, seeded, and watered to establish a healthy grass covering. Immediately protect side slopes and back slopes upon completion of rough grading or clearing with appropriate material as defined in the Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. Matting or other suitable erosion control material shall be placed in steep terrain areas and along natural and man-made drainage ways.
4.	Temporary Protection of Disturbed Areas: Perimeter controls and inlet protection, such as silt fence drop inlet, culvert inlet sediment trap, diversion ditches, benches, and berms as described in the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, must be used to retard and divert runoff from the construction site to storm drains and storm outfalls. Temporary stabilization must be applied to denuded areas within seven days if it will stay dormant for longer than 14 days.
a.	Sediment Basins: Trap sediment from construction areas in temporary or permanent sediment basins that accommodate the runoff of a local 25-year storm. After each storm, pump the basins dry with a filter bag and remove the accumulated sediment. A dewatering device or orifice, such a perforated vertical tube, in accordance with Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook Spec 3.14, may be used instead of manually dewatering the basin Control overflow/drainage with paved weirs or by vertical overflow pipes, that drain from the surface of the basin.
b.	Reuse or conserve the collected topsoil sediment as directed by the COR. Topsoil use and requirements are specified in Section 31 20 11, EARTH MOVING.
c.	Institute effluent quality monitoring programs as required by Federal, State, and local environmental agencies. Ensure any required documentation is provided to the COR.
5.	Erosion and Sedimentation Control Devices: The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be consistent with Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook State Minimum Standards and Specifications. Erosion and sediment controls shall prevent any illicit discharges to facility storm drains as a result of the Contractor's activities. At a minimum the construction site with any land disturbance, shall have perimeter controls and inlet protection. Construct or install all temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation control features on the Environmental Protection Plan and approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. All projects with land disturbance (outside work area, construction fence boundary) over 2500 sq feet are required to have an approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan in accordance with Virginia DEQ Regulations. Maintain temporary erosion and sediment control measures such as berms, dikes, drains, sedimentation basins, grassing, and mulching, until permanent drainage and erosion control facilities are completed and operative.
6.	Manage and control borrow and spoil areas on Government property to minimize erosion and to prevent soil and/or sediment from entering nearby water courses or lakes. Adhere to approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Sweep adjacent roads daily at the end of the work day.

7. Manage and control spoil areas (i.e. soil piles) within the construction boundary and in the contractor laydown area to prevent erosion of soil or sediment from entering nearby water courses or lakes. Silt fence is required to be installed around all spoil piles in the contractor laydown area. Silt fence must meet DEQ specifications from the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (Chapter 3.05). Silt fence must be maintained in the upright position with wood stakes with no rips, tears, holes, penetrations, etc. in fabric. Road in front of construction boundary and material storage must be swept at the end of the working day, daily to remove any sediment transported form spoil piles and/or construction site.

8.	Protect adjacent areas from despoilment by temporary excavations and embankments.
9.	Handle and dispose of solid wastes in such a manner that will prevent contamination of the environment. Place solid wastes (excluding clearing debris) in containers that are emptied on a regular schedule. Transport all solid waste off Government property and dispose of waste in compliance with Federal, State, and local requirements. Contractor is responsible for disposing of all regulated wastes (universal waste, hazardous waste, etc.) off site according to all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Any manifests obtained from disposal must be submitted to project COR. These waste streams and the method in which the contractor is disposing of them, along with supporting documentation (i.e. LDR license, disposal company, etc.), must be submitted with the Waste Management Plan required by Spec 01 74 19.
9.	Store chemical waste away from the work areas in corrosion resistant containers and dispose of waste in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations. Sewering of chemical waste is prohibited without approval from HRSD. Consult with COR, COR or designee will contact HRSD for approval.

10.Handle discarded materials other than those included in the solid waste category as directed by the COR.

C.	Protection of Water Resources: Keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to avoid pollution of surface and ground waters and sewer systems. Implement management techniques to control water pollution by the listed construction activities that are included in this contract.
1.	Washing and Curing Water: Do not allow wastewater directly derived from construction activities to enter water areas. Collect washwater and dispose washwater offsite. Equipment is not allowed to be washed onsite without the use of appropriate containment. Washwater is prohibited from entering any of the storm drains at the facility or waterbodies surrounding the facility. If equipment is washed onsite, water must be contained and disposed of offsite.
2.	Control movement of materials and equipment at stream crossings during construction to prevent violation of water pollution control standards of the Federal, State, or local government.
3.	Monitor water areas, wetlands and wetland buffers affected by construction. Any illicit discharges created by construction activities shall be reported to the COR as soon as they are identified.

4. Pesticides should be used as a last resort to pest issues. Herbicides and pesticides are not to be applied near waterways. All herbicides and pesticides shall be registered with the EPA and the Virginia DEQ for the intended use. Use of 2-4D is prohibited. For each proposed herbicide and pesticide, the labels and SDSs shall be submitted through the COR to the VA Industrial Hygienist for approval at least five working days before use. If pesticide use is needed, restrictions (such as closeness to environmentally sensitive areas or water) denoted by manufacturer must be adhered to. Any pesticides that need to be disposed of and their container must be taken off site for disposal according to all local, state, and federal regulations.

5. Fertilizer is used minimally at the facility. The facility has a Nutrient Management Plan that sets limits for the amount of fertilizer that can be applied. Contractor must follow the limits of our facility Nutrient Management Plan. I have attached the plan, which limits the application to: 3.5 lbs of Nitrogen per 1000 ft2 annually. A maximum application rate of 0.9 lb/1000ft2 of total nitrogen (cool season) or 1.0 lb/1000ft2 of total N (warm season) may be applied using slowly available forms of N with a minimum of 30 days between applications. Cannot apply more than 0.7 pounds of Nitrogen within a 30 day period. Avoid fertilizer applications within 15 feet of waterways. Estimated amount of fertilizer to be applied must be approved by the COR or designee. All fertilizer applied must be documented using the Hampton VAMC log.

D.	Protection of Fish and Wildlife Resources: Keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to minimize interference with, disturbance of, or damage to fish and wildlife. Prior to beginning construction operations, list protected species that require specific attention along with measures for their protection.
E.	Protection of Air Resources: Keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to minimize pollution of air resources. Burning is not permitted on the job site. Keep activities, equipment, processes, and work operated or performed, in strict accordance with the State of Virginia and 9VAC5 State Pollution Control Board (Title 8. Environment) Regulations and Federal emission and performance laws and standards. Maintain ambient air quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency, for those construction operations and activities specified.
1.	Particulates: Control dust particles, aerosols, and gaseous by-products from all construction activities, processing, and preparation of materials at all times, including weekends, holidays, and hours when work is not in progress.
2.
