ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE NOTES FOR ALL BRIDGES

1. Natural Resource Issues:

A. Construction Restrictions:

Tree Trimming/Clearing – Avoid tree impacts from April 1 to July 31.

Migratory Birds – If bridge work is proposed during the breeding season (April 15 to August 1), contact

DelDOT Environmental Studies via email at dot_environmentalstudies@delaware.gov no more than 14 days prior to the start of work for a survey to determine if active nests are present. If the survey detects nesting activity, the following steps must be taken to avoid nest destruction and take, which is a violation of state law:

1. Only perform construction activities from August 2 to April 14.

2. Or if construction cannot be performed from August 2 to April 14, a deterrent such as mesh netting must be used to block access to nest sites on the underside of the bridge(s) in accordance with Special Provision Number 763623 – Netting Migratory Bird Exclusion. The material would need to be in place no later than April 14, the underside of the bridge(s) would need to be fully encapsulated, and the material must be left in place until construction begins.

Bats – If bridge work is proposed during the bat active season (April 1 to September 30), contact DelDOT environmental studies via email at dot_environmentalstudies@delaware.gov no more than 14 days prior to the start of work for a survey to determine if bats are present.

1. Only perform bridge construction activities from October 1 to March 31.

Nightwork – Direct any temporary lighting away from suitable bat habitats (e.g., surrounding trees).
