TSS and 29 NUs for turbidity, then the discharge from the CONTRACTOR's <br />operations is defined to be polluted. <br />D. Pollution Always Occurs When ... The discharge from a construction site or work <br />area is defined to be polluted whenever the pH of the discharge is less than 6.5 or <br />greater than 8.5, or whenever any of the following is present in the discharge water: <br />(1) Hazardous waste or hazardous materials in any quantity, <br />(2) Any petroleum product or by-product in any quantity, <br />(3) Any chemical in any quantity, or <br />(4) Concentrated pollutants. <br />E. Above paragraphs 1.6.B, 1.6.C, and 1.6.D do not in any way, limit the types of <br />conditions in which pollution may be determined to occur. <br />1.7 PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION <br />A. In addition to the OWNER's specific remedies, if erosion or pollution is caused by <br />dewatering water or stormwater runoff from the construction site, the OWNER will <br />immediately report the violations to the Indian River County Code Enforcement <br />Board, SJRWMD, FDEP, Indian River Farms Water Control District (or other F. S. <br />Chapter 298 Drainage District, as appropriate), and other pertinent regulatory or <br />enforcement agencies. <br />PART 2 -MATERIALS AND INSTALLATION <br />2.1 GENERAL <br />A. Polyacrylamide: As required in Paragraph 1.3.C, place polyacrylamide (PAM) on <br />bare ground to reduce the potential for erosion. PAM may also be used in water <br />bodies to remove turbidity. Use the anionic form of polyacrylamide that does not <br />stick to fish gills. For PAM information and its proper application, contact Applied <br />Polymer Systems, Inc., (678) 494-5998, www.siltstop.com. <br />B. Staked Silt Fences: <br />1. General: Use silt fences to control runoff from the construction site where the <br />soil has been disturbed. <br />2. Installation: Install per the manufacture's recommendations and as specified <br />herein. In general, install the silt fence in a manner that allows it to stop the <br />water long enough for the sediment to settle while the water passes through <br />the silt fence fabric. All supporting posts shall be on the down-slope side of <br />the fencing. Place the bottom of the fabric 6 -inches minimum, under <br />compacted soil to prevent the flow of sediment underneath the fence. Place <br />silt fences away from the toe of slopes. Otherwise, install in accordance with <br />FDOT Index No. 102. <br />3. Product: All material shall be new and unused. Use FDOT Types II through <br />IV silt fences where large sediment loads are anticipated, where slopes are <br />1:2 (vertical: horizontal) or steeper, or as directed by the ENGINEER; <br />otherwise use FDOT Type III silt fence. <br />(a) For FDOT Type III Silt Fence - ACF Environmental, Catalog No. <br />01025-8 Technical Specifications <br />F:\Public WorksIENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS11024-17thStreet and IR Blvd Intersection\Admim\Contract <br />Documents\Technical Specifications.doc <br />
