Environmental pollution and damage is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents that adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of plant or animal communities; or degrade the environment from an aesthetic, cultural, or historic perspective.

Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur during construction. The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of air, water, land, biological, noise, cultural, and visual resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive materials; and other pollutants.

The construction manager to immediately forward the information to the Contracting Officer by e-mail with Cc: to Kirk.c.brus@usace.army.mil. This preliminary grunion information will be instrumental for the Contracting Officer to decide if any beach operations need to be modified.

c. A Grunion Monitoring Report to be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of the last night of the 4-night expected grunion run (for each New Moon / Full Moon expected grunion run). Include the information for all 4 nights of monitoring, and include a summary of the 4-night grunion run. In addition to an estimate of how many grunion were observed, the monitor to list the corresponding Walker Scale for assessment of grunion (W-0 thru W-5).

Utilize an aerial photo / Google photo in the report to indicate the area of grunion monitoring and the area(s) of grunion sightings. The report should also include photos of grunion runs, if any.

d. For Ventura Harbor Dredging project, key geographic locations that the grunion monitor should be aware of are: Santa Clara River; South Beach;
