The Contractor shall confine his activities to areas defined by the drawings and specifications. Environmental protection shall be as stated in the following subparagraphs.

3.1.1 General Project Environmental Design and Installation Criteria

Some project sites have features that shall not be impacted in any way, including cultural, historic, or archeological features. At all sites, the Contractor shall minimize disturbance to existing features at the site to the extent possible, including vegetative, topographic, and drainage pattern features. Wetland impacts (temporary access, detours, staging areas, and other work area impacts) to project sites should be avoided and may require separate permitting action. Any wetlands temporarily impacted shall have its soil restored upon project completion. Expansion of previously permitted project footprints may likewise require separate permitting action.

In all cases, the installation of temporary systems to aid construction shall provide for protection of the environment during handling, installing, storing, utilizing, transporting, servicing, testing, refilling, transferring, pumping, processing, removing waste products, repairing and maintaining systems and their components. Necessary protection shall also be considered that would prevent contamination of the environment from impacts to the systems caused by storm water runoff and flooding. Retrofit of temporary systems on project sites to modern environmental protection design standards shall also be considered.

In the event environmental protection measures fail, the Contractor shall implement procedures to control and correct environmental damage.

3.1.1.1 Sewage-Based Systems Environmental Design and Installation Criteria

In general, there shall be no waste or debris discharges of any kind for a project unless authorized by the Contracting Officer. This shall include the Contractor's providing sufficient temporary sanitary equipment and facilities for the project. The design and/or installation of temporary or permanent sewage systems shall ensure that waters will be free of effects of sewage discharges. Applicable Federal, State, or local codes and requirements regarding sewage shall be strictly adhered to in the design, such as those of the EPA and, in the case of the State, Chapter 62-620 (Wastewater Facilities) of the FAC.

Borrow or dredge material management (DMMA) areas shall be managed to minimize erosion and to prevent sediment from entering nearby watercourses, wetlands, or lakes. Spoil areas shall be managed and controlled to limit spoil intrusion into areas designated on the drawings and to prevent erosion of soil or sediment from entering nearby watercourses, wetlands, or lakes. Spoil areas shall be developed in accordance with the grading plan indicated on the drawings. Temporary excavation and embankments for plant and/or work areas shall be controlled to protect adjacent areas from despoilment. If there is suspicion that sediment may be unsuitable for disposal at a specified location, the Contractor shall immediately take measures to contain the suspect sediment and notify the Contracting Officer.

3.1.2.3 Solid Wastes

Solid wastes (excluding clearing debris) shall be placed in containers which are emptied on a regular schedule. All handling and disposal shall be conducted to prevent contamination. Solid waste materials shall be hauled to a solid waste disposal site approved by the Contracting Officer.

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 10

The Contractor shall comply with Federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to the use of the solid waste disposal site.

3.1.2.4 Fuel, Oil, and Lubricants

Fuel, oil, and lubricants shall be managed so as to prevent spills and evaporation. To prevent spills, fuel dispensers shall have a 4-foot square, 16-gauge metal pan with borders banded up and welded at corners right below the bibb. Edges of the pans shall be 8-inch minimum in depth to ascertain that no contamination of the ground takes place. Pans shall be cleaned by an approved method immediately after every dispensing of fuel and wastes disposed of offsite in an approved area. Should any spilling of fuel occur, the Contractor shall immediately recover the contaminated ground and dispose of it offsite in an approved area. Petroleum waste generated shall be stored in marked corrosion-resistant containers and recycled or disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR 279, State, and local regulations.

3.1.2.5 Hazardous Waste

Hazardous wastes are defined in 40 CFR 261. The Contractor shall ensure that hazardous wastes are stored and disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR 261 and State and local regulations.

3.1.2.6 Hazardous Materials

The Contractor shall ensure that hazardous materials are labeled, stored, and transported in accordance with 49 CFR 173, State, and local regulations.

3.1.2.7 Disposal of Other Materials

Other materials than previously discussed (Construction and Demolition, vegetative waste, etc.) shall be handled as directed.

3.1.3 Preservation and Recovery of Historic, Archeological, and Cultural Resources

3.1.3.1 Applicable Law

A number of Federal laws require protection of cultural resources. Two laws, in particular, can be potentially involved with dredging activities:

(1) the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended; and, (2) the Abandoned Shipwreck Act.

3.1.3.2 Known Resources

If known historic, archeological and cultural resources within the Contractor's work area(s) are present, it will be designated as "Avoidance Areas" on the contract drawings or other documents. If so designated, the Contractor shall install protection for these resources and shall be responsible for their preservation during the contract's duration. The Contractor shall not dredge, spud, or anchor within the designated environmentally sensitive zone(s). The Contractor shall not distribute maps or other information on these resource locations except for distribution among the Contractor's staff with a "need to know" technical responsibility for protecting the resources.

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 11

3.1.3.3 Inadvertent Discoveries

If, during construction activities, the Contractor observes items that may have historic or archaeological origin, such observations shall be reported immediately to the Contracting Officer so that the appropriate Corps staff may be notified. The Contractor shall cease all activities adjacent to the discovery that may result in the destruction of these resources and shall prevent his/her employees from further removing, or otherwise damaging, such resources. Once reported, Corps staff will initiate coordination with the appropriate federal, tribal and state agencies to determine if archaeological investigation is required. Additional work in the area of the discovery will be suspended at the site until all federal and state regulations have been successfully completed and the Corps staff members provide further directive. Project activities in the vicinity of the discovery may not resume until the Contracting Officer approves work to proceed.

The possibility of encountering submerged cultural resources is inherent in dredging and snagging operations. Such findings could include shipwrecks, shipwreck debris fields (such as steam engine parts, or wood planks and beams), anchors, ballast rock, concreted iron objects, concentrations of coal, prehistoric watercraft (such as log "dugouts"), and other structural features intact or displaced. The materials may be deeply buried in sediment, resting in shallow sediments or above them, or protruding into water. Suspected cultural materials inadvertently gathered from a water-saturated context should be kept moist by re-immersion, spraying, or some other expedient means of wetting until the appropriate Corps staff provide further directives. No interviews or other contact with the media or federal, tribal or state agencies shall occur without clear authorization from the Contracting Officer.

In the unlikely event that unmarked human remains are identified they will be treated in accordance with Section 872.05 Florida Statutes. All work and ground disturbing activities within a 50-meter diameter of the unmarked human remains shall immediately cease and, and the Contracting Officer or the appropriate Corps representative shall be immediately notified. The Corps shall then notify the local medical examiner, and the appropriate SHPO and THPO(s). Based on the circumstances of the discovery, equity to all parties, and considerations of the public interest, the Corps may modify, suspend, or terminate work activities. Such activity shall not resume without written authorization from the State Archeologist and from the Corps.

3.1.3.4 Claims for Downtime due to Inadvertent Discoveries

Upon discovery and subsequent reporting of a possible inadvertent discovery of cultural resources, the Contractor shall seek to continue work well away from, or otherwise protectively avoiding, the area of interest, or in some other manner that strives to continue productive activities in keeping with the contract. Should an inadvertent discovery be of the nature that substantial impact(s) to the work schedule are evident, such delays shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer.

3.1.5.1 Endangered Species Protection

The Contractor shall instruct all personnel associated with the project of the potential presence of manatees, and sea turtles, dolphins and whales in the area, and the need to avoid collisions with and harming these animals.

All construction personnel shall be advised that there are civil and criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees, or sea turtles, dolphins or whales which are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and/or the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act. The Contractor shall be held responsible for any manatee, sea turtle, or whale harmed, harassed, or killed as a result of construction activities.

a. Special Operating Conditions for Manatees:

(1) All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "Idle Speed/No Wake" at all times while in the immediate construction area and while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four-foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible. Boats used to transport personnel shall be shallow-draft vessels, preferably of the light-displacement category, where navigational safety permits.

(2) Siltation or turbidity barriers shall be made of material in which manatees cannot become entangled, shall be properly secured, SECTION 01 57 20 Page 14 and shall be regularly monitored to avoid manatee entanglement or entrapment. Barriers must not impede manatee movement.

(3) All on-site project personnel are responsible for observing water-related activities for the presence of manatees. If a manatee is sighted within 100 yards of the project area, all appropriate precautions shall be implemented by the Contractor to ensure protection of the manatee. All in-water activities, including vessel operation, must be shut down if a manatee comes within 50 feet of the active construction site during daytime hours. Activities will not resume until the manatee has moved beyond the 50-foot radius of the project operation, or until 30 minutes elapses if the manatee has not reappeared within 50 feet of the operation. During nighttime dredging (nighttime shall be defined as one half hour before sunset and one half hour after sunrise), all moving equipment and construction activities shall cease if a manatee moves closer than 75 feet from such equipment or the project area. Activities will not resume until the manatee has moved beyond the 75-foot radius of the project operation, or until 30 minutes elapses if the manatee has not reappeared within 75 feet of the operation. Animals must not be herded away or harassed into leaving.

(4) Temporary signs concerning manatees shall be posted prior to and during all in-water project activities. All signs are to be removed by the Contractor upon completion of the project.

Awareness signs that have already been approved for this use by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) must be used (see www.MyFWC.com). One sign measuring at least 3 feet by 4 feet, which reads "Caution: Boaters - Watch for Manatees", must be posted in a location prominently visible to all personnel engaged in water-related activities. Additional signs measuring at least 8 ½ inches by 11 inches explaining the requirements for "Idle Speed/No Wake" and the shut down of in-water operations must be posted on vessels associated with the construction, and should be placed visible to the vessel operator.

(5) During daylight hours, the Contractor shall provide at least one dedicated marine animal observer and this observer must be on site during all in-water construction activities. During nighttime hours(nighttime shall be defined as one half hour before sunset and one half hour after sunrise), the Contractor shall provide at least four dedicated marine animal observers. At least three of the four nighttime observers shall be on site during all in-water construction activities. The four observers shall rotate which three 3 observers are on site and which one in on break such that each observer takes a minimum of one 30 minute break during each 4 hour period. One nighttime observer shall be stationed as close to the clamshell bucket as safety permits, the second nighttime observer shall be stationed at the stern, and the third on the port or starboard side of the dredge opposite the scow. The observer stationed as close to the clamshell bucket as safety permits shall have direct line of sight of the bucket going in and out of the water. The nighttime observers shall rotate positions after each break. All marine animal observers shall advise personnel to cease operations upon sighting a manatee within 50 feet of any in-water construction activity (75 feet for nighttime work).

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 15

(6) All observers shall maintain a daily log that details sightings, collisions, or injuries to protected marine animals, as well as project specific information such as when each observer took a break and for how long, work itinerary, weather, work shutdowns, observer shift changes, etc. In regard to manatee behavior, the observers shall also log time of observation, estimated distance of manatees from the dredge, type of behavior (such as passing through, pausing in the vicinity of the project, interacting with the dredge, scows, tugs, etc., attracted to running or dripping water), and whether the dredge was operating at the time of observation. The Contractor shall ensure that copies of the daily logs are submitted on a monthly basis to the Contracting Officer and the Chief, USACE Jacksonville District, Environmental Branch.

(7) To reduce the risk of a vessel crushing a manatee, fenders or buoys providing a minimum standoff space of at least four feet under maximum designed compression shall be utilized between two vessels that are moored together such as, but not limited to, the mooring of the scow and dredge barges.

(8) During daytime operations, the Contractor shall stop the clamshell bucket at the water's surface and after confirmation that there are no manatees within the 50-foot safety distance the Contractor shall gravity release the clamshell bucket. During nighttime operations, the Contractor shall stop the clamshell bucket at the water's surface and after confirmation that there are no manatees within the 75-foot distance, the Contractor shall maintain a controlled descent to the bottom that shall not exceed 4 feet per second (nighttime shall be defined as one half hour before sunset and one half hour after sunrise). This descent rate may be inspected by the Contracting Officer at any time. The observers will notify the dredge operator if manatees enter within the designated safety distances.

(9) In order to better observe manatees during nighttime clamshell operations, the Contractor shall use shielded lights to illuminate the water surface for 75 feet around the hoist line (cable attached to bucket), the starboard and port sides of the dredge, and the stern of the dredge. These lights shall be shielded and/or positioned such that they are not visible from any sea turtle nesting beaches immediately north and south of Port Canaveral. The light intensity shall be a minimum of 54 lux (5 foot candles) at the water surface throughout this illuminated area including the edge. The Contractor shall also have a handheld spotlight with a minimum of 10,000,000 candle power available to better observe manatees outside of this illuminated area. The Contractor shall measure the size of the illuminated area, intensity of the specified illumination, and assess its direct visibility from adjacent beaches and shall provide written notification to the Contracting Officer and to the Chief, Jacksonville District, Environmental Branch, that each of these requirements have been met prior to commencement of dredging. No night-time operations shall commence or continue if one or more of these lighting parameters do not comply with the required specifications. The illumination and line of sight will be inspected by the Contracting Officer prior to commencement of dredging and anytime during the duration of the dredging operations.

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 16

(10) If the marine animal observers determine that detection of manatees during certain weather conditions (i.e. fog, rain, wind, etc.) is not possible, then dredging operations shall cease until weather conditions improve and detection is again possible. See Bid Schedule, note (6) for Standby time. Standby time for endangered species monitoring will not be paid for if the dredge cannot operate for any other reason to include but not be limited to, weather that would prevent dredging, mechanical breakdowns, ship movements, launches from Cape Canaveral, etc. If the work stoppages exceed one hour (per event) or 4 hours in any 24 hour period (multiple events), the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer. Standby time as shown on the bid schedule shall not be paid for cessation of dredging operations unless directed by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative. The observers shall report any issues of non-compliance with the special operating measures to the Contracting Officer and record these instances on their Daily Control Reports. The Contractor shall install a video surveillance camera that is aimed at the front of the dredge. The surveillance equipment must be capable of recording to a hard drive. The lens must be of sufficient power to discern the sea state as well as general weather conditions such as fog, rain, and rough seas caused by wind. The imagery must be unwavering and the camera contained in all weather housing capable of tolerating a marine environment. It must be operated continuously throughout the duration of the project. The camera recording must be able to also show time and date. Access to all video recordings must be provided to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer's Representative. The live feed of this video shall be placed on an Internet site and access to this site shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and the Chief, Environmental Branch, Jacksonville District USACE. The Contractor shall notate on their daily Quality Control Report any work stoppages due to the presence of Endangered Species (i.e. manatees and sea turtles).

(11) Non-compliance with any one of the above special operating conditions for manatees shall require immediate notification to the Contracting Officer and the Chief, USACE Jacksonville District, Environmental Branch, at 904-232-1665, or on the morning of the following work day if it occurs after normal work hours.

In addition, all dredging activity shall cease immediately and all measures taken to comply with the conditions. Dredging shall not resume until corrective measures are taken, and compliance with the conditions is achieved.

b. Special Operating Conditions for Sea Turtles

(1) In conjunction with the special operating conditions for manatees, the marine animal observers shall also log details on sea turtles, include time of observation, estimated distance of sea turtles from the dredge, type of behavior (e.g., passing through, pausing in the vicinity of the project, responding to dredge activity, coming into contact with any stopped vessel, etc.), detection method (e.g., unaided visual, polarized glasses, infrared, light…
