104 PREVENTION, CONTROL , AND ABATEMENT OF EROSION AND WATER POLLUTION. (REV 6-2240) (FA 7-2940) ( 1 - 11 ) ARTICLES 104- 6 through 104- 10 (Pages 130 - 135 ) are deleted and the following substituted: 104-6 Construction Requirements. 104-6. 1 Limitation of Exposure of Erodible Earth : The Engineer may limit the surface areas of unprotected erodible earth exposed by the construction operation and may direct the Contractor to provide erosion or pollution control measures to prevent contamination of any I ver, stream, lake, tidal waters , reservoir, canal, or other water impoundments or to prevent detrimental effects on property outside the project right-of--way or damage to the project. Limit the area in which excavation and filling operations are being performed so that it does not exceed the capacity to keep the finish grading, turf, sod, and other such permanent erosion control measures current in accordance with the accepted schedule . Do not allow the surface area of erodible earth that clearing and grubbing operations or excavation and filling operations expose to exceed 750 , 000 square feet without specific prior approval by the Engineer. This limitation applies separately to clearing and grubbing operations and excavation and filling operations . The Engineer may increase or decrease the amount of surface area the Contractor may expose at any one time . 104-6.2 Incorporation of Erosion and Sediment Control Features : Incorporate permanent erosion control features into the project at the earliest practical time. Use temporary erosion and sediment control features found in the State of Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Designer and Reviewer Manual (E& SC Manual) to correct conditions that develop during construction which were not foreseen at the time of design, to control erosion and sediment prior to the time it is practical to construct permanent control features , or to provide immediate temporary control of erosion and sediment that develops during normal construction operations , which are not associated with permanent erosion control features on the project . An electronic version of the E & SC Manual can be found at the following URL : www. dot. state . flus/specificationsoffice/hnplemented/URLinSpecs/Files/FLErosionSedi mentManual . pdf Install all sediment control devices in a timely manner to ensure the control of sediment and the protection of lakes , streams , gulf or ocean waters , or any wetlands associated therewith and to any adjacent property outside the right-of-way as required. At sites where exposure to such sensitive areas is prevalent, complete the installation of any sediment control device prior to the commencement of any earthwork. After installation of sediment control devices , repair portions of any devices damaged at no expense to the Department. The Engineer may authorize temporary erosion and sediment control features when finished soil layer is specified in the Contract and the limited availability of that material from the grading operations will prevent scheduled progress of the work or damage the permanent erosion control features . 104-6 .3 Scheduling of Successive Operations : Schedule operations such that the area of unprotected erodible earth exposed at any one time is not larger than the minimum area necessary for efficient construction operations , and the duration of exposure of uncompleted construction to the elements is as short as practicable . - 38 - FPID ( S ) : 423186 - 1 - 58 - 01
