1.3 DEFINITIONS

1.3.1 Best Management Practices

Best management practices (BMPs) are defined as a practice or combination of practices that have been determined to be the most effective and practicable means of preventing or minimizing water pollution to a level compatible with water quality goals, or protecting natural resources.

1.3.2 Contractor-Generated Hazardous Waste

Contractor-generated hazardous waste is material that, if abandoned or disposed, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. Typically, these waste streams are brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methyl ethyl ketone, toluene), waste thinners, excess paints, excess solvents, waste solvents, excess pesticides, and contaminated pesticide equipment rinse water. The cleanup of Contractor spills of hazardous materials or petroleum products may also result in the generation of Contractor-generated hazardous waste.

1.3.3 Environmental Pollution and Damage

Environmental pollution and damage is the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents that adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life; affect other species of importance to humankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally or historically.

1.3.4 Environmental Protection

Environmental protection is the prevention and control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction.

The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and

SECTION 01 57 19.00 25 Page 5 liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.

1.3.5 Hazardous Debris

Hazardous debris is debris that contains listed hazardous waste (either on the debris surface, or in its interstices, such as pore structure) in accordance with 40 CFR 261 . Hazardous debris also includes debris that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste in accordance with 40 CFR 261 .

1.3.6 Hazardous Materials

a. Hazardous materials as defined in 49 CFR 171 and listed in

1.3.8 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

The NPDES permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources, including stormwater discharges from construction activity generally disturbing 1 acre or more of land, that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. In the State of Washington, the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized to administer the NPDES permit program and issue permits, including the construction stormwater general permit, to federally-owned facilities and federal operators which include contractors performing construction activity for any federal agency

1.3.9 Oily Waste

a. Oily wastes are those materials that are, or were, mixed with petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) product and have become separated from the POL. Oily wastes also means materials, including wastewaters, centrifuge solids, filter residues or sludges, bottom sediments, tank bottoms, and sorbents which have come into contact

SECTION 01 57 19.00 25 Page 6 with and have been contaminated by, POLs and may be appropriately tested and discarded in a manner which is in compliance with other state and local requirements.

b. This definition includes materials such as oily rags, "kitty litter" sorbent clay and organic sorbent material. These materials may be land filled provided that: It is not prohibited in other state regulations or local ordinances; the amount generated is "de minimis" (a small amount); it is the result of minor leaks or spills resulting from normal process operations; and free-flowing oil has been removed to the practicable extent possible. Large quantities of this material, generated as a result of a major spill or in lieu of proper maintenance of the processing equipment, are a solid waste. As a solid waste, perform a hazardous waste determination prior to disposal. As this can be an expensive process, it is recommended that this type of waste be minimized through good housekeeping practices and employee education.

SECTION 01 57 19.00 25 Page 16

3.2.1.1 Pile Installation Requirements

a. Conduct pile driving only during daylight hours from sunrise to sunset when it is possible to visually monitor marine mammals.

b. If the shutdown zone is obscured by fog or poor lighting conditions, pile driving must not be initiated until the entire shutdown zone is visible.

c. Pile dike piles and marker piles will be installed vibratory method until refusal. Impact hammer may be used to meet final depth. Material off load Facility (MOF) piles/ sheet piles will be installed with vibratory methods only. Bubble curtains are required for impact installation of pile.

d. Piles must be steel, untreated wood, or other approved material.

e. Piles may be installed between 1-Nov and 28-Feb with the following exceptions:

(1)PD 68.35 may only be installed in 1-Nov to 1-Dec due to IHA restrictions.

(2)PD 71.17 pile installation must conform to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) guidelines for construction activities near bald eagle nests due to active nest in the vicinity.

f. For all pile driving, a shutdown and disturbance zone must be monitored.

(1) Monitoring must take place from 30 minutes prior to initiation through 30 minutes post-completion of pile driving.

(2) The shutdown zone for all species must be as listed in Table 2 of the IHA.

(3) Monitor the entirety of the underwater disturbance zone observable by binoculars as required in attached IHA (Attachment A5).

g. If a marine mammal is entering or is observed within an established shutdown zone, pile driving must be halted or delayed. Pile driving must not commence or resume until either the animal has voluntarily left and been visually confirmed beyond the shutdown zone; 15 minutes have passed without subsequent detections of small cetaceans and pinnipeds; or 30 minutes have passed without subsequent detections of large cetaceans.

h. When a marine mammal is observed in the Level B Zone of Influence (ZOI), but not approaching or entering the shutdown zone, a "take" must be recorded and work may proceed without cessation. Marine mammal behavior must be monitored and documented on the marine mammal observation sheet .

i. For in-water heavy machinery work other than pile driving (e.g., standard barges, tug boats, barge-mounted excavators, or clamshell equipment used to place or remove material), if a marine mammal comes within distance as specified in the Incidental Harassment

SECTION 01 57 19.00 25 Page 17

Authorization (IHA) (Attachment A5), operations must cease and vessels must reduce speed to the minimum level required to maintain steerage and safe working conditions. This type of work could include the following activities:

(1) movement of the barge to the pile location or

(2) positioning of the pile on the substrate via a crane (i.e., stabbing the pile).

j. Marine Mammal Harassment is limited to species and types allowed in the attached IHA (Attachment A5). See Tables 1 and 2 of IHA for take authorized. For any marine mammal species encountered during activities that are not listed for authorized taking and are likely to be exposed to sound pressure levels (SPLs) greater than or equal to pressure levels as specified in the Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) (Attachment A5) by being in the ZOI, or if the number of individuals exposed to Level A is likely to exceed the allowable take numbers, then the Contractor must stop pile driving activities.

k. Install pile caps to prevent birds from perching on piles. Install caps in the same season as the pile install.

l. In the unanticipated event that the specified activity clearly causes the take of a marine mammal in a manner prohibited by the IH, such as an injury (Level A harassment), serious injury or mortality (e.g., ship-strike, gear interaction, and/or entanglement), immediately cease the specified activities and immediately report the incident to the CO. Include the information indicated in the reporting form and listed in the IHA. The Contractor must not resume their activities until notified by the CO. If level A or B take is exceeded, or if a species without allowable take enters the level A or B take zone for that species, all pile driving work must cease and Contractor must notify the CO.

m. In the event that there is a discovery of an injured or dead marine mammal, and the lead PSO determines that the cause of the injury or death is unknown and the death is relatively recent (i.e., in less than a moderate state of decomposition as described in Paragraph DUTIES, Item h.), immediately notify the CO. The report must include the same information identified in the paragraph above. Activities may continue while NMFS reviews the circumstances of the incident. The CO will notify the Contractor if modifications in activities are needed as a result of the NMFS review.

n. Mammals encountered during pile driving actions that are not listed in the IHA/LOA must be documented. If the PSO recognizes the mammal encountered is a listed endangered species, shut down operations and follow procedures described in Paragraph PILE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS, Item h.

3.2.2 Wetlands

a. Avoid impacts to all wetlands or potential wetlands within or near the project area except as noted in the plans. Where the project work area boundary is near or adjacent to wetlands, maintain a 50 foot buffer around the all wetlands or potential wetlands perimeter by installing a double line of silt fence as shown on the Drawings.

SECTION 01 57 19.00 25 Page 18

Install the first line of silt fence along the edge of the all wetlands or potential wetlands and the second line of silt fence at least 50 feet back from the edge to create a visually-delineated buffer zone. All construction activities are prohibited within the buffer zone. The Contractor is responsible for maintenance of the silt fence throughout the project duration.

b. Along haul roads and within the project work area boundary where a 50 foot setback from the all wetlands or potential wetlands perimeter is not available, maintain a minimum 5 foot setback and install hardened wetland protection to create a buffer zone. Install silt fence along the edge of the all wetlands or potential wetlands and install the hardened wetland protection at least 5 feet back from the edge. Concrete jersey barriers are recommended for hardened wetland protection, but other physical barriers can be used, subject to Contracting Officer's approval. Place the hardened wetland protection on a compact and level surface. Limit the spacing between the individual hardened wetland protection elements so that vehicles, equipment, or personnel are physically prevented from entering the buffer zone. The Contractor is responsible for maintenance of the silt fence and hardened all wetlands or potential wetlands protection throughout the project duration.

3.2.3 Nesting Birds

a. Avoid all active bald eagle, heron, and streaked horned lark nesting areas during nesting season as shown on the Drawings.

b. Work must be performed in accordance with the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668c). Currently there is one known at 46.061839° x -122.878520°. The Contractor shall not engage in any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, injury to an eagle, substantial interference with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or cause nest abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior. Therefore, the Contractor shall:

(1) Perform all work in accordance with the USFWS May 2007 National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines.

(2) Consider all nests identified as active nests for the purposes of work performed under this contract.

(3) The bald eagle nesting season in the work area is 1-JAN through 30-AUG.

(b) Terrestrial Construction within 660 feet if the activity is visible from the nest.

(c) Vehicle Use within 330 feet of bald eagle nests.

(d) Pile driving within ½ mile 660 feet of a bald eagle nest.

SECTION 01 57 19.00 25 Page 19

(5) Report any dead or injured bald eagles found during operation to CO and USFWS.

c. The nesting season for herons is March through August. If heron nests are present, the no-work zone is 0.5 mile radius for all work.

d. The nesting season for streaked horned larks in 1 April through 31 August. The following work restrictions apply:

(1) During the nesting season no construction work, equipment use or vehicle entry is allowed in areas identified as streaked horned lark optimal or early nesting habitat as shown on Drawing CS103.

(2) During the nesting season no pile driving at Pile Dikes 68.35 through 69.79 and Pile Dike 71.87.

(3) During the nesting season pile driving may occur from Pile Dikes 70.07 to 71.51 but work must start first at Pile Dike 71.51 before 70.07 so that the birds can acclimate to the noise.

(4) Limit land clearing within identified streaked horned lark nesting areas to the minimal amount needed to perform work.

(5) Equipment stored or staged on the island during streaked horned lark nesting season must be outside of nesting areas shown on plan sheet CS103.

(6) Any materials stored in or near streaked horned lark nesting areas to be placed or removed prior to the nesting season.

(7) Regrade areas disturbed within optimal streaked horned lark area at the end of each work season.

(8) The locations of streaked horned lark nesting sites are expected to change over the course of the construction project.

The Government will provide updated nesting site locations in May of each year of construction. Use of the staging area must incorporate updated nesting site maps.

e. Annual bald eagle nest surveys will be conducted by the Government every spring near the work areas. If construction activities are impacted by the outcome of the surveys, the Contract will be modified accordingly to reflect impacts resulting from the surveys.

3.3 USE OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT

a. Heavy equipment must be selected and operated so as to minimize adverse effects on the environment such as use of minimally-sized, low pressure tires, minimal hard turn paths for tracked vehicles, temporary mats or plates within wet areas or sensitive soils. No work outside of designated work areas, no work in or placement of material into potential or identified wetlands. Work within proximity of marine mammals must be performed in accordance with NMFS IHA permit.

b. All vehicles and other heavy equipment must be used as follows:

(1) Stored, fueled and maintained in a vehicle staging area placed 150 feet or more from any waterbody and above the MHHW line.

(2) Equipment to be inspected for leaks prior to arrival on site and at least once per shift for oil leaks. Equipment determined to be leaking shall be removed from service and leaks contained to prevent spills. Leaking equipment must be repaired before returning to service or removed from site.

(3) Steam-cleaned before operation below ordinary high water, and as often as necessary during operation to remain free of all external oil, grease, mud, seeds, organisms and other visible contaminants.

(4) Generators, cranes and any other stationary equipment operated within 150 feet of any waterbody will be maintained and protected as necessary to prevent leaks and spills from entering the water.

Place drip pans underneath all stationary equipment.

3.4 STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION

Erosion and sediment control, including stormwater pollution prevention measures, must be provided for the work site regardless of the ground disturbance area. If the total acreage of ground disturbance from clearing, grading, and excavation is estimated to be one acre or more, prepare and submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and apply for a Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSWGP) from the Washington EPA. If the Contractor can demonstrate that the total ground disturbance area from their activities will be less than one acre, then the Contractor is only required to prepare and implement a SWPPP.

3.4.1 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

Regardless of the size of the ground disturbance area, the Contractor must prepare and implement a draft SWPPP to the CO for review, at least 30 days prior to the commencement of work. The SWPPP must describe the types and locations of best management practices (BMPs) to be implemented during all construction activities to minimize soil erosion and prevent sediment from entering streams or water bodies. The BMPs must be consistent with EPAs Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.

a. The SWPPP must meet the requirements of 40 CFR 122.26 and the EPA CSWGP for stormwater discharges from construction sites.

b. The SWPPP must include practices to minimize erosion and sedimentation associated with all aspects of the project (e.g., staging areas, stockpiles, grading; to prevent construction debris from dropping or otherwise entering any stream or waterbody; and to prevent and control hazardous material spills.

c. Include in the SWPPP an inspection program that includes a list of the BMPs to be inspected, frequency of inspections, and corrective actions to be taken if BMPs are deficient.

d. Update or modify the SWPPP as needed to represent actual BMPs being used on the site and include the type and location of the erosion and sediment controls being used. Submit the SWPPP Modifications to the CO for review and approval.

e. Maintain an approved copy of the SWPPP at the onsite construction office in the Environmental Records Binder, and continually update as regulations require and reflecting current site conditions and actual
