About this file

This document is an Environmental Protection section (Section 01 57 20.00 28) for the Bateman Island Causeway Removal project (Contract W912EF25BA017). The section provides comprehensive guidelines for environmental protection during construction, covering waste management, water and land resources, air quality, and cultural resource preservation. Key requirements include:

Waste Management: The contractor must develop plans for handling solid, hazardous, and universal waste, including proper disposal, containment, and tracking. Specific protocols are outlined for managing materials like batteries, light bulbs, oils, and other potentially harmful substances. Water Resources protection involves minimizing turbidity during in-stream work, preventing pollution, and implementing containment measures like silt curtains. The project requires strict adherence to federal and state environmental regulations, with mandatory submittals including an Environmental Protection Plan, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, and various waste management documentation. The contractor must take precautions to prevent environmental damage, manage construction activities to minimize ecological impact, and immediately report any discoveries of historical or archaeological resources.

Wastewater shall be collected and disposed off-Government property in accordance with all Federal, State, and local regulations.

3.3 LAND RESOURCES

Confine all activities to areas defined by the Drawings and Specifications. Prior to the beginning of any construction, identify any land resources to be preserved within the work area.

SECTION 01 57 20.00 28 Page 13 vegetation resources at all times as defined in the following subparagraphs. Remove stone, soil, or other materials displaced into uncleared areas. Minimize ground disturbance on Bateman Island.

3.3.1 Work Area Limits

Prior to commencing construction activities, mark the areas that need not be disturbed under this Contract. Mark or fence isolated areas within the general work area which are not to be disturbed. Protect monuments and markers before construction operations commence. Where construction operations are to be conducted during darkness, any markers shall be visible in the dark. Contractor's personnel shall be knowledgeable of the purpose for marking and/or protecting particular objects.

3.3.2 Landscape

Trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, landforms, and other landscape features indicated and defined on the Drawings to be preserved shall be clearly identified by marking, fencing, wrapping with boards, or any other approved techniques. Restore landscape features damaged or destroyed during construction operations outside the limits of the approved work area.

3.4 WATER RESOURCES

Monitor all water areas affected by construction activities to prevent pollution of surface and ground water. The Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with applicable Federal and State water quality standards and the conditions of any permits and clearances obtained for the work. Do not apply toxic or hazardous chemicals to soil or vegetation unless otherwise indicated. No water courses shall be polluted by, or have existing pollution contributed to with, any petroleum products, fuels, oils, lubricants, bitumen, sandblast grit, paint chips, calcium chloride, insecticides, herbicides, or other toxic materials harmful to life.

Chemical emulsifiers, dispersants, coagulants, or other cleanup compounds shall not be used without prior written approval.

3.4.1 In-Stream Turbidity Control

Prepare and submit a plan for in-strem turbidity control including containment measures such as slit curtains. During in-water work, use the following BMPs to minimize in-stream turbidity:

a. Sequence/Phasing of work - Schedule work activities to minimize in-water disturbance and duration of in-water disturbances.

b. Bucket control - To minimize turbidity, complete all in-stream digging passes by excavation machinery and placement of fill in-stream using a bucket. Implement practicable techniques such as employing an experienced equipment operator; not dumping partial or full buckets of material back into the wetted stream; adjusting the volume, speed, or both of the load; or by using a closed-lipped environmental bucket.

c. Do not drive machinery into the flowing channel.

d. Place excavated material so that it is isolated from the water edge or wetlands and not where it could re-enter waters of the state uncontrolled.

SECTION 01 57 20.00 28 Page 14

e. Implement and properly maintain containment measures such as silt curtains, geotextile fabric, and silt fence in order to minimize in-stream sediment suspension and resulting turbidity.

f. Implement and properly maintain a silt curtain at the city of Kennewick water intake, as to minimize in-stream sediment suspension of fine silts and clays. The silt curtain is to be placed far enough from the water intake to minimize impact to it.

3.4.2 Washing and Curing Water

Furthermore, the equipment used to recover refrigerant from appliances must be EPA certified.

3.5.3 Burning
