When requested by the Agency, the water pollution control program shall be submitted to

the Agency for review.

Compliance with the provisions in this Section does not relieve the Contractor of the

responsibility for compliance with other Contract provisions.

The Contractor shall perform routine inspection and maintenance of BMP’s. Inspections

shall be done prior to, during, and after each rain event. The Contractor is solely responsible for

preparing and maintaining inspection and monitoring records; and for including those records in

the SWPPP or, in the case of Erosion and Sediment Control Plans, the site or project

Maintenance Log, copies of which shall be available to the Agency for review upon request.

The Contractor shall immediately correct or replace any ineffective BMP. If the measures

taken by the Contractor are inadequate to effectively control water pollution, the Agency may

direct the Contractor to revise the operations and water pollution control program. The Agency

may restrict work from being performed until the water pollution control measures are adequate

and, if required, a revised water pollution control program is in place. Continued non-

compliance may result in the Agency suspending the Work in accordance with Section 5-21,

“Temporary Suspension or Delay of Work”, of these Specifications. The Agency reserves the

right to take corrective action and withhold Agency costs for corrective action from progress

payments or final payment in accordance with Section 8-8, “Withholdings/Denial of Progress

Payment Request”, of these Specifications.

Any fines, including third-party claims, levied against the Agency as a result of Contractor's

non-compliance are the Contractor's sole responsibility and will be withheld from progress

payments or final payment in accordance with Section 8-8, “Withholdings/Denial of Progress

Payment Request”, of these Specifications.

Except as otherwise provided in the Special Provisions, full compensation for compliance

with all applicable erosion and sediment control and storm water pollution and prevention

requirements will be included in the prices paid for the various Contract items of work and no

additional compensation will be allowed.
