SECTION 104 - PREVENTION, CONTROL, AND ABATEMENT OF EROSION AND <br />WATER POLLUTION <br />PART 1 —GENERAL <br />1.1 SCOPE <br />A. This Section covers erosion control and the treatment of dewatering water and <br />stormwater runoff from the construction site and work area. Pollution control <br />measures shall prevent polluted or turbid waters from being discharged from the <br />construction site or work area to undeveloped portions of the site or offsite, including <br />but not limited to Multiple Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) and Waters of <br />the State. <br />B. The OWNER considers pollution from dewatering water and stormwater runoff from <br />a construction site or work area to be a very serious offense. The CONTRACTOR <br />is solely responsible for preventing pollution caused by dewatering water and <br />stormwater runoff from the construction site or work area. Note that state <br />regulations do not allow mixing stormwater and dewatering groundwater in the same <br />release — separate and independent discharges are required. <br />C. Pollution control measures specified herein represent minimum standards to be <br />adhered to by the CONTRACTOR throughout the Project's construction. The <br />OWNER reserves the right to require the CONTRACTOR to employ additional <br />pollution control measures, when in the sole opinion of the OWNER, they are <br />warranted. If site specific conditions require additional erosion and stormwater <br />pollution control measures during any phase of construction or operation to prevent <br />erosion or to control sediment or other pollution, beyond those specified in the <br />Drawings, the Project's approved Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), <br />or herein, implement additional best management practices as necessary, in <br />accordance with Chapter 4, "Best Management Practices for Erosion and <br />Sedimentation Control" of the Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector's <br />Manual and other references as may be applicable or required by regulatory <br />permits. <br />D. The OWNER may terminate this Contract if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with <br />this Section. Alternatively, the OWNER may halt the CONTRACTOR's operations <br />until the CONTRACTOR is in full compliance with this Section. If the OWNER halts <br />the CONTRACTOR's Work as a result of failure to comply with this Section, the <br />Contract time clock will continue to run. <br />E. In addition to these Specifications, comply with Chapter 4 - "Best Management <br />Practices for Erosion and Sedimentation Control" and, Chapter 5 — "Best <br />Management Practices for Dewatering" of the Florida Erosion and Sediment Control <br />Inspector's Manual. In the event of a conflict between the referenced chapters and <br />these Specifications, the more stringent requirement shall prevail. <br />01025-4 Technical Specifications <br />F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\1748 Gifford Neighborhood - 45th Street Beautification Project Phase II\1- <br />Admin\RE-bids\Bid Documents\Master Contract Documents\Technical Specifications uPDATED 5-25-2017.doc <br />
