rules, regulations, ordinances, and statutes that apply to the Work. The Contractor shall also

comply with the requirements of any permits issued to the Agency as noted in the Special

Unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions or approved by the Agency in writing,

10-4 EROSION, SEDIMENT, AND WATER POLLUTION CONTROL

The Federal Clean Water Act requires construction sites to prevent pollutants entering storm

drain systems. Storm drain systems include both constructed and natural facilities, including

streams, waterways, and other bodies of water. The Contractor shall protect the local storm

drain system from pollution, and shall conduct and schedule operations to avoid erosion and

sediments. Where erosion may cause water pollution due to the nature of the material or the

season, the Contractor's operations shall be scheduled so temporary or permanent erosion

control features are installed concurrently with, or immediately following, grading operations.

The Contractor is responsible for organizing and scheduling the Work to prevent, control,

and/or abate water pollution. In order to provide effective and continuous control of water

pollution, it may be necessary for the Contractor to perform the Work in small or multiple units,

on an out-of-phase schedule, and/or with modified construction procedures. The Contractor

shall coordinate water pollution control work with all other Contract work.

Section of these Specifications.)

Construction involving the grading, filling, excavating, storage, or disposal of three
