About this file

This is a technical specification document (Section 01 57 19 – Temporary Environmental Controls) for the American River Common Features (ARCF) project covering Natomas Basin Reach I Contract 2 and Reach H (Spec No. 2079). The specification establishes comprehensive environmental protection requirements that contractors must implement during construction activities.

The document defines extensive environmental management obligations across multiple disciplines including natural resource protection, stormwater management, air quality compliance, hazardous waste management, archaeological monitoring, and biological resource protection. Key requirements include: development and submission of an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) within 30 days of contract execution; appointment of a qualified Environmental Manager; compliance with federal, state, and local environmental permits including NPDES Construction General Permits and SMAQMD air quality permits; implementation of erosion and sediment controls; protection of identified cultural resources and endangered species (Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle, migratory birds, state-listed bird species); archaeological and tribal monitoring during ground-disturbing activities with qualified monitors; waste management including hazardous waste determination, disposal documentation, and non-hazardous solid waste diversion reporting on a quarterly basis; air emissions compliance with NOx and PM10 thresholds; dust control and particulate matter management; noise monitoring and mitigation; oil and fuel storage with secondary containment; spill prevention and response procedures; and post-construction site cleanup and restoration. The contractor must maintain an Environmental Records Binder documenting all compliance activities, submit monthly reports on air quality controls and equipment inventory, and coordinate with multiple regulatory agencies including USACE, CVRWQCB, SMAQMD, CARB, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
