human health or welfare, animal or plant life, or property. Pollutants to be removed <br /> include but are not limited to, sediment and suspended solids, solid and sanitary <br /> wastes, phosphorus, nitrogen, pesticides, oil and grease, concrete truck washout, <br /> stucco mixer washout, curb machine washout, washout from other construction <br /> equipment, construction chemicals, and construction debris. <br /> B. When the Dischar a is Directly Into an ExistingWater Body, Pollution Occurs When <br /> . . . An existing water body (including ditches and canals) is defined to be polluted <br /> by the CONTRACTOR's operations when at any time, the turbidity of the water <br /> immediately downstream of the CONTRACTOR's discharge point(s) is at least 29 <br /> nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) higher than the turbidity of the background <br /> water upstream of the discharge points). [See Fla. Administrative Code 62- <br /> 302.530] Exception: When the discharge is directly into or through an outfall <br /> discharging into "Outstanding Florida Waters," designated by Florida Statute <br /> 403.061(27), the turbidity of the discharged water cannot exceed the turbidity of the <br /> immediate receiving water. The ENGINEER or OWNER shall determine the <br /> locations where the turbidity is measured. <br /> C. When the Dischar a is not Directly Into an Existinq Water Body, Pollution Occurs <br /> When . . . In some instances, dewatering water or stormwater runoff from the <br /> construction site or work area may reach a water body indirectly, such as after <br /> traveling through pipes or by overland flow. Before construction commences, the <br /> Contractor will measure background levels of total suspended solids (TSS) and <br /> turbidity, in the immediate vicinity of the discharge water's ultimate discharge point <br /> into the receiving water body. If the discharge water's TSS and turbidity <br /> measurements exceed these pre-construction background values by 20 percent for <br /> TSS and 29 NTUs 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 1.6,8, 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 /> 01025-5 Technical Specifications <br /> FAPublic Works\ENG1NEERING DIVISION PROJECTSI121 O-Sandridge Driving Range Tee Renovation\Admimlbid <br /> documents\Technical Specifications.doc <br /> SmeadSoft Reprint Date:Monday,January 11,2016-09:22:22-OfficialDocuments:9069,Attachment Id 1,Page 165 <br />
