VI. PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
A. Protection of Land Resources
1. Disturbed Areas
The purpose of erosion and sedimentation control is to prevent or minimize the discharge of pollutants in storm water runoff from all lands disturbed during construction activities by implementation of practices as described in this Plan. The Plan’s practices will be maintained by Slone Associates, Inc. and our subcontractor(s) until it has been determined that disturbed areas have been stabilized and/or the work required under this contract has been completed and accepted. The following specific measures will be taken to prevent or minimize runoff from disturbed areas:
· Exposure of disturbed areas during construction will be minimized by limiting disturbances to those areas.
· Vegetated buffer strips within the project area will be left undisturbed and maintained for as long as possible to lessen soil erosion and trap sediments transported into these areas. Storm water will be diverted by means of existing swales, ditches, and canals.
2. Location of Field Offices, Storage, and Other Contractor Facilities
· Field office will be located on existing paved area to minimize disturbance to vegetation.
· Storage are will be with-in an existing paved and fenced compound.
3. Disposal of Solid Waste
Solid waste generated from construction (excluding clearing debris) will be placed in roll-off containers and removed from the site. The transport and disposal of generated waste will be in compliance with al Federal, State, and local law requirements and regulations.
4. Dispensing of Fuel
Not applicable to this project.
5. Disposal of Chemical Waste
· Project includes removal of peeling paint containing Barium from approximately 21,476sf of metal deck by sponge blasting.
· Removed paint and used abrasive will be containerized by subcontractor for disposal by the Navy.
6. Disposal of Discarded Materials
Discarded materials, other than those that can be included in the solid waste category, will be handled as directed.
B. Preservation and Recovery of Historic, Archeological, and Cultural Resources
All items discovered during the course of construction activities that may have historical or archeological value will be reported immediately to the FEAD. Slone Associates, Inc. will stop work on any activities that may result in the destruction of these items and will prevent its employees and subcontractor(s) from trespassing on, removing, or damaging these items.
C. Protection of Water Resources
Slone Associates, Inc. will keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to avoid pollution of surface and ground waters as a result of our construction activities.
- Wastewater
There are no sanitary sewer lines in close proximity to the office trailer, therefore a temporary holding tank will be provided. The tank will be emptied not less than once a week.
- Washing and Curing Water
The ready-mix concrete trucks will be washed out only in designated concrete washout areas. These concrete washout areas will be located such that migration of runoff into nearby canals, wetlands, and onto adjacent off site areas will be avoided. Concrete residue from this activity will be hauled away from the jobsite.
- Oil, Fuel, and Hazardous Substance Spill Prevention and Mitigation
Slone Associates, Inc. will implement procedures to prevent oil, fuel, and other hazardous substances from entering the groundwater, the existing canals, and the new intake, spreader, collection and discharge canals. Procedures will also be established to contain and clean up spills should they occur.
The following substances will be used on this construction site:
· Motor oil
· Petroleum-based lubricants
· Diesel fuel & Gasoline
· Concrete curing compounds
· Form release agents
· Cementitious products such as concrete and grout
· Paint materials and associated thinners and solvents
· Other materials as may be identified
Preventive procedures will include the following:
· Inspection of all equipment entering the jobsite with specific attention to fuel and oil leakage.
· Enforcement of speed limits on the jobsite to avoid accidents and overturning of vehicles.
· Training and supervision of equipment operators to avoid overturning of fuel-bearing equipment.
· The use of non-petroleum-based oil and lubricants where possible.
· Training of personnel on the proper handling of substances and maintaining on-site copies of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Containment and cleanup procedures will include the following:
· Training of personnel to identify and promptly notify supervisors of a spill.
· Training of personnel on the procedures to contain and clean up spills.
· Knowing how to use and where to obtain absorbent materials and containment devices.
· Identifying local specialty contractor for clean up and mitigation of larger spills.
Spills involving petroleum products and other hazardous substances will be immediately reported to the FEAD and Mayport Naval Station Fire Department at 911.
- Turbidity Control
