SECTION NO. 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. The pollution control <br />measures shall prevent turbid or otherwise polluted waters from being discharged from <br />the construction site or work area, to undeveloped portions of the site or off-site. <br />B. The OWNER considers pollution from dewatering water and stormwater runoff from a <br />construction site or work area to be a very serious offense. The CONTRACTOR is <br />solely responsible for preventing pollution caused by dewatering water and stormwater <br />runoff from the construction site or work area. <br />C. The pollution control measures specified herein represent minimum standards to be <br />adhered to by the CONTRACTOR throughout the Project's construction. The OWNER <br />reserves the right to require the CONTRACTOR to employ additional pollution control <br />measures, when in the sole opinion of the OWNER, they are warranted. If site specific <br />conditions require additional erosion and stormwater pollution control measures during <br />any phase of construction or operation to prevent erosion or to control sediment or other <br />pollution, beyond those specified in the Drawings or herein, implement additional best <br />management practices as necessary, in accordance with Chapter4, "Best Management <br />Practices for Erosion and Sedimentation Control" of the Florida Erosion and Sediment <br />Control Inspector's Manual, and other references as may be required by regulatory <br />permits. (http://www.dep.state.fl.us./water/nonpoint/docs/erosion/erosion- <br />inspectors-manual.pdf) <br />D. The OWNER may terminate this Contract if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with this <br />Section. Alternatively, the OWNER may halt the CONTRACTOR's operations until the <br />CONTRACTOR is in full compliance with this Section. If the OWNER halts the <br />CONTRACTOR's work as a result of its failure to comply with this Section, the <br />Construction Contract time clock will continue to run. <br />E. In addition to these Specifications, comply with Chapter 4 - "Best Management Practices <br />for Erosion and Sedimentation Control" and Chapter 5 — "Best Management Practices <br />for Dewatering" of the Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector's Manual. In the <br />event of a conflict between the referenced Chapters and these Specifications, the more <br />stringent requirement shall prevail. <br />1.2 SOME PERMITS TO BE OBTAINED BY THE CONTRACTOR <br />A. The OWNER has obtained certain permits for this project and they are listed in <br />paragraph SC -6.08 of the Supplementary Conditions.
