I. BOATING TRAFFIC: The boating traffic using the Project area is generally low draft recreation vessels on high tide. Depending on the type and size of equipment used by the Contractor, there may or may not be ample room in the areas to be dredged to accommodate regular boating traffic without some interference with the dredging operations. The Contractor should investigate this situation and, coupled with the choice of equipment, determine what impact these conditions will have on the dredging operation.

In the event the Contractor’s equipment obstructs the channel as to make difficult or endanger the safe passage of vessels, Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to afford a practicable and safe passage.

Upon the completion of the Work, the Contractor shall promptly remove the dredge equipment, pipelines, etc. including buoys and other markers to allow safe passage. In addition, the Contractor will not obstruct navigation during non-working periods, weekends, and any suspension of Work that occurs for the duration of the Project.
