Section 14-1.02A. Use if there is an ESA for the management of environmental resources, such as archaeological sites, existing vegetation, or biological habitats.
Do not edit this SSP to include district biologist approvals or mitigation measures, such as revegetation methods or wildlife relocation.
Add to the end of section 14-1.02A:
1–9. Use if only 1 ESA exists on the project.
1
An ESA exists on this project.
2. Use if the Contractor must enclose the ESA with a barrier, such as a temporary high-visibility fence, wildlife exclusion fence, or other type of barrier. Insert the type of barrier.
Before starting job site activities, install ______to protect the ESA and mark its boundaries.
3–8. Use if the Contractor must install signs on the ESA barrier.
3. Edit the spacing as needed and insert the type of barrier.
Install signs 100 feet apart along the length and at the ends of the ______identifying the area as an ESA. Place the top of each sign flush with the top of the ______.
4. Insert the message for the ESA signs.
The signs must:
1. Be weatherproof and fade-proof
2. Be from 8-1/2 to 11 inches high and from 11 to 14 inches wide
3. Have the following message in black letters: ______
5
The message must be legible from a distance of 20 feet by persons with 20/20 vision or vision corrected to 20/20.
6
The signs may be made of laminated printed paper attached to an inflexible weatherproof backer board.
7. Insert the type of barrier.
The signs must be attached to the ______with tie wire or locking plastic fasteners.
8
Maintain the signs until Contract acceptance.
9. Use if the Contractor is allowed limited access to the ESA for activities such as biological monitoring, water sampling, or release of encroaching wildlife. Insert the activity and number of days (5 or less).
Limited access to the ESA is allowed for ______. Notify the Engineer ____ business days before the planned entry date. Any other access to the ESA is prohibited.
10–12. Use if different ESAs on the project have different fences or limited access conditions (e.g., the project includes both riparian and archaeological ESAs that have different requirements for monitoring or access).
10. Complete the table to identify each ESA, location, and the corresponding management measures for fencing and limited access. If limited access is allowed, include the requirement that the Engineer must be notified 5 business days or less before the planned entry date. Add rows as needed. Some example management measures are:
A. Before starting work, protect the ESA by installing a temporary high-visibility fence.
B. Install signs 100 feet apart along the length and at the ends of the temporary high-visibility fence identifying the area as an ESA. Place the top of each sign flush with the top of the fence.
C. Limited access to the ESA is allowed for water quality monitoring. Notify the Engineer ____ business days or less before the planned entry date.
D. Limited access to the ESA is allowed from February 1 to September 10 for water quality monitoring. Notify the Engineer ____ business days or less before the planned entry date.
More than one ESA exists on the job site. Use the management measures for the corresponding ESA shown in the following table:
ESA ManagementIdentification / Location / Management measures
11–12. Use if signs are required to identify any of the ESAs listed in the table above.
11
ESA signs must:
1. Be weatherproof and fade-proof
2. Be from 8-1/2 to 11 inches high and from 11 to 14 inches wide
3. Have a message that is legible from a distance of 20 feet by persons with 20/20 vision or vision corrected to 20/20
4. Be attached to the ESA barrier with tie wire or locking plastic fasteners
12
The signs may be made of laminated printed paper attached to an inflexible weatherproof backer board.
13
Access to an ESA other than that described is prohibited.
