The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance and implementation of the Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) for their entire contract. This responsibility shall be further shared with Subcontractors whose work is a source of potential pollution as defined in this PPP. 1. SITE DESCRIPTION This Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) is for the construction of BIG ROCK ROAD BRIDGES, REPLACEMENT WITH BOX CULVERTS for the City of Waterloo, Iowa. The PPP covers approximately 1.4 acres, with an estimated 1.4 acres being disturbed. The PPP is located in an area of soil association of channeled Saude-Flagler. The estimated average SCS runoff curve number for this PPP after completion will be 80. Refer to the project plan and profile sheets for locations of typical slopes, ditch grades, and major structural and non-structural controls. A copy of this plan will be on file at the Project Engineer's office. Runoff from this work will flow into unnamed drainageways tributary to the Cedar River. POTENTIAL SOURCES OF POLLUTION: Site sources of pollution generated as a result of this work relate to silts and sediment, which may be transported as a result of a storm event. However, this PPP provides conveyance for other (non-project related) operations. These other operations have storm water runoff, the regulation of which is beyond the control of this PPP. Potentially this runoff can contain various pollutants related to site-specific land uses. -- COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES: Runoff from commercial, industrial and commerce land use may contain constituents associated with the specific operation. Such operations are subject to potential leaks and spills, which could be commingled with run-off from the facility. Pollutants associated with commercial and industrial activities are not readily available since they are typically proprietary. 2. CONTROLS w As locations where runoff can move off site, silt fence shall be placed along the perimeter of the areas to be disturbed prior to beginning grading, excavation or clearing and grubbing operations. As a minimum, silt fence shall be placed as shown on plans. Follow applicable Iowa Department of Transportation specifications and standards for silt fence materials and installation. Vegetation in areas not needed for construction shall be preserved. As areas are disturbed for sewer construction, additional silt fences, silt basins, intercepting ditches, sod flumes, letdowns and earth dikes shall be installed as specified in the plans and/or as required by the Project Engineer. This will include using silt fence as ditch checks and to protect intakes. Temporary stabilizing seeding shall be completed as the disturbed areas are constructed. If construction activity is not planned to occur in a disturbed area for at least 21 days, the area shall be stabilized by temporary seeding or mulching within 14 days. Other stabilizing methods shall be used outside the seeding time period. The work covered under this PPP shall be considered incidental to construction, and no separate measurement or payment shall be made. As the work progresses, additional erosion control items may be required as determined by the Engineer after field investigation. These may be items such as sod flumes, ditch checks and rock outlet protection. Other appropriate measures shall be installed by the Contractor as directed by �. Contract No. 739 PPP-1 BigRockRdBridges-103174.16 the Engineer. The Contractor will complete the construction with the establishment of permanent perennial vegetation of all disturbed areas. 3. OTHER CONTROLS Contractor disposal of unused construction materials and construction material wastes shall comply with applicable state and local waste disposal, sanitary sewer or septic system regulations. In the event of a conflict with other governmental laws, rules and regulations, the more restrictive laws, rules or regulations shall apply. APPROVED STATE OR LOCAL PLANS: During the course of this construction, it is possible that situations will arise where unknown materials will be encountered. When such situations are encountered, they will be handled according to all federal, state and local regulations in effect at the time. 4. MAINTENANCE The Contractor is required to maintain all temporary erosion control measures in proper working order, including cleaning, repairing or replacing them throughout the contract period. Cleaning of silt control devices shall begin when the features have lost 50 percent of their capacity. 5. INSPECTIONS Inspections shall be made jointly by the contractor and the contracting authority every seven calendar days and after each rain event that is 1/2" or greater. The Contractor shall immediately begin corrective action on all deficiencies found. The findings of this inspection shall be recorded in the project diary. This PPP may be revised based on the findings of the inspection. The ads contractor shall implement all revisions. All corrective actions shall be completed within three calendar days of the inspection. 6. NON-STORM DISCHARGES This includes subsurface drains (i.e., longitudinal and standard subdrains), slope drains and bridge end drains. The velocity of the discharge from these features may be controlled by the use of patio blocks, crushed stone or riprap. 7. SEQUENCE OF POLLUTION PREVENTION ACTIVITY a. Contractor to submit attached Certification Statement for Prime Contractor and Subcontractors. b. Install silt fence. _ . c. Remove ground cover/topsoil on areas as necessary for construction. d. Stage excavation to reduce open ground areas. e. Complete construction and immediately follow with final topsoil placement. f. Install temporary stabilization mix or permanent seeding/mulching ground cover, depending on specified, allowable seed application dates and provisions of Pollution Prevention Plan. g. Throughout construction, maintain silt fence. h. After permanent ground cover has been established, remove silt fence. Repeat above sequence as ground cover is removed by subsequent construction activity. Contract No. 739 PPP-2 BigRockRdBridges-103174.16 contract. No verbal agreement or conversation with any officer, agent, or employee of the City, either before or after the execution of the Contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations herein contained. 4. REPORTING ERRORS AND DISCREPANCIES. If the Contractor, in the course of the work, finds any discrepancies between the plans and the physical conditions of the locality, or any errors of omission in plans or in the layout as given by said stakes and instructions, it shall be his duty to inform the Engineer immediately, in writing, and the Engineer shall promptly correct the same. 5. ALTERATION OR CORRECTION OF PLANS. The plans are made up from surveys that are presumably correct and represent the foreseen construction requirements. Any modification of the plans which may be required by the exigencies of the construction or any corrections made necessary because of errors in the original surveys, will be made by the Engineer. Should corrections or modifications of the plans or specifications require a different quality or class of work than that upon which the unit prices in the Proposal are based, or if the modifications or corrections are required in parts of the work partially completed and such modifications result in an increased cost to the Contractor, the amount to be paid for work resulting from such changes shall be agreed upon in writing at the time the changes are ordered and before the work is begun by the Contractor. No allowance will be made for anticipated profits on work not performed. 6. CHANGES IN THE WORK. The City, without invalidating the contract, may order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from the work, the contract sum being adjusted by agreement or arbitration before such changed work is undertaken. All such work shall be executed under the conditions of the original contract, except that any claim for extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time of ordering such change. 7. INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES. The right is reserved without impairing the contract, to order the performance of such work of a class not contemplated in the Proposal or to increase or decrease the quantities as may be considered necessary to complete fully and satisfactorily the work included in the contract. However, when the work is completed without change in the plans, and the measured quantity of any item of work varies by more than twenty percent (20%) from the estimated quantity specified in the contract, an adjustment in price may be made for such item of work by agreement between the Engineer and the Contractor, subject to the approval of the City Council. Either party to the contract may request such an adjustment. 8. LANDS AND RIGHT OF WAY. The City shall provide the lands upon which the work under this contract is to be done, except that the Contractor shall provide land required for the erection of temporary construction facilities and storage of his material, together with the right of access to same. 9.
