removed include but are not limited to, sediment and suspended solids, solid and <br />sanitary wastes, phosphorus, nitrogen, pesticides, oil and grease, concrete truck <br />washout, stucco mixer washout, curb machine washout, washout from other <br />construction equipment, construction chemicals, and construction debris. <br />B. When the Discharge is Directly Into an Existing Water Body An existing water <br />body (including ditches and canals) is defined to be polluted by the <br />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 point(s). [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 <br />the immediate receiving water. The ENGINEER or OWNER shall determine the <br />locations where the turbidity is measured. <br />C. When the Discharge is not Directly Into an Existing Water Body_ In some instances, <br />dewatering water or stormwater runoff from the construction site or work area may <br />reach a water body indirectly, such as by overland flow. If the discharge water's <br />TSS and turbidity measurements exceed pre -construction background values by <br />20 percent for TSS and 29 NTUs for turbidity, then the discharge is defined to be <br />polluted. <br />D. When Pollution Always Occurs 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 1.6.13, 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 may <br />report the violations to Indian River County Stormwater Enforcement, SJRWMD, <br />FDEP, Fellsmere Water Control District (or other F. S. Chapter 298 Drainage <br />District, as appropriate), and other pertinent regulatory or 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 and cover it with hay, jute, or mulch. <br />PAM may also be used in water bodies to remove turbidity.
