00280.00 224 Section 00280 - Erosion and Sediment Control

Description

00280.00Scope - This Work consists of controlling Soil erosion by wind, water, or other means and

preventing eroded Sediments and other construction-generated pollutants from moving off the Project Site, Agency controlled material sources, disposal sites, and off -site mitigation areas in order to comply with f ederal, State, and local laws, rules and regulations, and the Agenc y's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 1200 permit or permits applicable to the Project.

This Work also consists of providing temporary erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures and furnishing, installing, moving, operating, maintai ning, inspecting, and removing ESC throughout the Project area according to the Standard Drawings , the erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP), the Specifications, or as directed, until the site is permanently stabilized. Included also is the monitoring of weather, of stormwater and receiving waters, the reporting of monitoring observations, the reporting of corrective actions (when necessary) and the updates and revisions of the ESCP, including ESCP cover sheet, necessary to keep it representative of cur rent site conditions and compliant with the 1200-CA permit.

When contaminants, pollutants or hazardous materials are discovered in the Project location in soils or groundwater comply with 00290.30(f) and, provide an environmental management plan (EMP) as required by the 1200-CA permit.

The Work described in the Specifications and shown on the Plans is part of the Project ESCP and represent the minimum requirements for all Project Sites and conditions.

00280.02Definitions :

Effective Functioning - Preventing Erosion, controlling R unoff, or controlling Sediment in each location where an ESC is needed so Erosion-related impacts of site construction are mitigated as required.

Erosion - The wearing away of the land surface by water, wind, ice, gravity or other geo logical agents.

Perimeter Controls - Perimeter Controls include sediment fences, ditches, filter berms in flatter areas, and other methods for preventing Sediment and other construction-generated pollutants from leaving the construction site. PermanentS tabilization - Maintenance-free measures or methods necessary to prevent E rosion or Sediments from leaving the Project Site .

Runoff - That portion of precipitation that flows from drainage area on the land surface, in open channels or in stormwater conveyance systems.

00280.04 225 Sediment - Fragmented material originated from weathering and Erosion of Rock and unconsolidated deposits. Sediment also includes fragmented materials from man-made materials. The material is transported by, suspended in, or deposited by water.

If ESC are not effective, modify or change ESC so they become effective.

00280.41Work Restrictions - The following Work restrictions apply:

(a)Disturbance Limits - Prior to any ground disturbing activity, delineate all construction site

clearing limits with high visibility markings and do not disturb areas outside the clearing limits. Prior to beginning construction activities, delineate and protect riparian areas including trees, root zones and vegetation to be preserved and delineate and protect vegetated buffer zones according to

(e). Protect post -construction stormwater facilities, unless used during construction as

sediment trap, in which case repair according to 00280.46(h).

(b)Perimeter Controls - Install all appropriate Perimeter Controls before beginning any

ground- disturbing activities.

(c)Wet Season Work and Temporary Work Suspension - Update the ESCP and schedule for

Work proposed during the wet sea son to ensure that all appropriate controls, including ESC during Work suspensions, are implemented and maintained. Submit the updated ESCP and schedule to the Agency and receive approval before beginning any Work during the wet season.

During the wet season, limit excavation and bare ground activities to only those required for immediate operations. Stabilize stockpiles at the end of each workday by diverting flows, placing covers, or installing Sediment barriers.

(d)Disturbance Restrictions - Limit the amount of disturbed areas to that which can be

effectively controlled.

(e)Buffers - Retain and preserve buffer zones of natural, undisturbed vegetation, 50 feet in width

Document all implemented ESC on the ESCP. Ensure that permanent slope stabilization is achieved before removing temporary ESC.

(c)Permanent Stabilization - Permanently stabilize exposed Soil surfaces at finished grade.

Perform Permanent Stabilization at each completed excavation and embankment area except for areas that are scheduled to be redisturbed. If seeded areas are not sufficiently stabilized by an established stand of vegetation according to 01030.60, or if the Soil surface is not sufficiently protected with temporary stabilization ESC by October 1 of each year, do the following:

• Use ESC necessary to redirect water flows away from disturbed areas. • Re-grade disturbed areas to finish grade. • Apply permanent seeding at the original specified rate. • Apply temporary mulching or matting. If areas for temporary stabilization are too steep or lack access for effective straw mulch application, apply, upon approval, another effective measure.
