Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Re: Bid Tabulation Township Street 36 -inch Water Main Dear Mr. Jones: Bids were opened at 11:00 am, July 2, 2009 on the referenced project. Twelve bids were received, eleven of which appear to be in order, other than a few minor math errors. The high bidder listed the extended price in words, instead of the unit price. The low bidder was Seven Valleys Construction Co., of Cassville, Missouri, with a bid total of $1,757,232. Our Engineer's estimate totaled $2,036,900. Five of the bids were below our estimate and seven were above. Seven Valleys recently completed a 24 -inch water main project in Springdale for us. They were a subcontractor to McClinton -Anchor on this project. Their water and sewer main work totaled approximately $2.8 million on this job. They also have completed a water sewer relocation project along Highway 72 in Bentonville for us. They were the prime contractor and the contract amount was approximately $1,242,000 for this Bentonville project. We have found Seven Valley's to be competent and cooperative, and recommend that the Contract be awarded to them in the amount of $1,757,232.00. Very Truly Yours, Robert W. White, P.E.

The purpose of this Addendum Item is to emphasize that the encasement material is to be 8 mil linear low -density polyethylene (LLDPE) film made from virgin polyethylene only with no recycled material. The color shall be black with nominal 2% carbon black IJV inhibitor and printed per the Cl 05 Standard. Physical properties of the film shall be as follows: a. Tensile Strength: 3,600 psi minimum in machine and transverse direction (ASTM D882) b. Elongation: 800% minimum in machine and transverse direction (ASTM D882) c. Dielectric Strength: 800 Volts/Mil thickness, minimum (ASTM D1709 Method B) d. Impact Resistance: 600 grams, minimum (ASTM D1709 Method B) e. Propagation Tear Resistance: 2,500 grams force, minimum in machine and transverse direction (ASTM D1922) The Owner anticipates having a sample of the encasement material that is delivered to the project tested to insure conformance to these standards. Non -conforming material shall be removed from this project. The polyethylene encasement shall be installed per Method A of ANSI/AWWA C 105/A21.5. Remove all lumps of clay, mud, cinders, etc. from the pipe surface before encasing the pipe. Keep soil, or bedding material, from becoming trapped between the pipe and the polyethylene sleeve. When lifting polyethylene -cased pipe use a fabric type sling or padded cable to protect the polyethylene. Joints shall be overlapped (double coverage) and taped. Fold excess slack over the top of the pipe and tape in place every three feet. Carefully backfill the pipe according to AWWA C600. To avoid damage during backfilling allow adequate slack in the film tube at joints. Backfill material shall be free of cinders, rocks, boulders, nails, sticks or other material that may damage the polyethylene sleeve. a. Pipe Shaped appurtenances are covered in the same manner as the pipe. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main I Addendum #1 b. Odd -Shaped appurtenances require a split length of sleeve to be passed under, and then over the appurtenances to be brought together around the body and securely taped into place. Make seams by folding edges over twice and taping. Bolted Joints and Valves: Overlap joints as for pipe installation. Tape film securely around valve stems and other penetrations. Use care to prevent penetration of the film by bolts and other protrusions. d. Branches, Blow -offs, Air Valves: Make an "X" shaped cut in the film and temporarily fold the film back. After installing the appurtenances tape slack securely and repair the cut and any damaged areas of film. Service Taps: Wrap two/three layers of tape completely around the polyethylene encased pipe to cover area where tapping machine will contact the pipe. Install the corporation stop directly through the tape and polyethylene. Repair any damage after the installation with tape or an additional wrap of polyethylene film. Wrap copper service tubing at least three feet back from the installation with tape or additional polyethylene film to prevent electrolysis. Install polyethylene encasement on all ductile or cast iron pipe, valves and fittings, including pipe installed through casings. Mount casing spacers on the outside of the polyethylene encasement. Provide 6 mil PVC tape, 1 ''/2" minimum width for taping encasement. Encasement to be delivered to job site contained in a sound sacrificial sleeve of UV Protected Polyethylene to protect contents during storage prior to installation. The City of Fayetteville has had numerous corrosion failures on ductile iron water mains in the vicinity of this project. As a result, a double layer of polywrap encasement is required, and strict conformance to the installation procedures will be required during construction. In addition to the specified Pratt and Mueller butterfly valves, the butterfly valves may also be DeZurik BAW, Class 250B, conforming to AWWA C504. 3. The Class 150B 36" Butterfly Valves listed under Bid Item No. 6 is incorrect. All butterfly valves shall be Class 250B per Page 12 and 13, Paragraph 11 of the Fayetteville Standard Water Line Specifications, Appendix A in the Project Specifications.

The steel casing pipe thickness shall conform to the schedule on Page 02223-2 of the Technical Specifications (1/2- inch thickness for 48 -inch casing) instead of the schedule on Page 11 of the Fayetteville Standard Specifications (0.375 -inch thickness for the 48 -inch casing). 6. Valve boxes shall confirm to Fayetteville's standard specifications, Paragraph 12 on Page 14, instead of Page 15080-2, Paragraph 2,04 of the Technical Specifications. 7. Fitting bolts shall be 316 stainless steel, instead of 308 stainless steel as listed under Paragraph 9 on Page 12 of the Fayetteville Standard Specifications. The "Buy American" clause listed under Paragraph 26, Page 00100-7 of the Instruction to Bidders, and at other locations in the Specifications, is hereby deleted. 9. The 36" x 6" and 36" x 8" outlets listed under Bid Items 16 and 17 shall be mechanical joint outlets welded on the 36 -inch pipe by the pipe manufacturer. Outlets used at the Combination Air Valves, Bid Items 23 and 24, shall be flanged outlets welded on the 36 -inch pipe by the pipe manufacturer. 10. Paragraph 2.16, Rock Excavation, on Page 02200-3 will remain in effect. Rock excavation will not be a separate pay item. 11. The Contractor shall complete an audio visual tape of the entire length of the project, covering the limits of the permanent and temporary easements outside of Township Street and covering Township Street from right of way to right of way for the length of the affected street. The video tape shall cover the condition of the existing sidewalks, existing street and curbs, existing trees, etc. and shall document preconstruction conditions. Two copies of the tape shall be provided to the Engineer. These tapes shall be reviewed by the Owner and Engineer to determine if the extent of coverage is acceptable. The tape shall be completed and reviewed by the Owner and Engineer prior to the start of construction. No payment will be made for this audio visual documentation requirement. 12. The Township Street Repair Detail on Plan Sheet WD -3 may have the 6 -inch layer of compacted subgrade and 3 -inch layer of Class 67 Stone stopped at 6 -inches behind the curb, instead of 12 and 24 inches behind the curb if shortening this cross section behind the curb will reduce damage to the adjoining tree limbs and tree roots. The concrete paving section shown in this Detail is not specifically designed for use with a paving machine. If a paving machine is proposed by the selected Contractor, a thicker paving section will be necessary to accommodate dowel rods at the transverse joints. If the Contractor wishes to use this alternate paving process, he may submit his proposed plan to the Owner and Engineer for possible approval. Regardless, the unit price bid shall cover the cost of the required paving work whether the Detailed cross section or an approved alternate cross section is used. The Contractor may use high early strength concrete to achieve a 4000 psi strength in 3 -days, instead of the specified 7 day cure time, if he wishes to open up the street quicker. However, concrete cylinder test results must document achievement of the 4000 psi before the FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main 3 Addendum #1 paved section can be opened to traffic. The compacted subgrade and Class 67 Stone is part of the pavement pay item. 13. The Contractor shall pay for compaction test, concrete cylinder tests and related materials testing. Paragraph 1.09 on Page 01400-2 of the Specifications concerning the Owner paying for testing is incorrect. 14. The existing concrete pavement reportedly does not contain reinforcement steel. 15. Trees along the pipeline route shall be protected to the maximum extent possible. If tree trimming is deemed to be necessary, they will be reviewed with Fayetteville's Urban Forester prior to the trimming work. The trimming work will thereafter conform to the Urban Forester's requirements. 16. The Contractor may close segments of Township Street as construction progresses. Appropriate detour signage is required. During non construction periods, as much of the street that can be safely opened with temporary surfacing and appropriate signage shall be opened. 17. The Contractor is responsible for locating his own staging area. The Gulley Park property cannot be used for pipe storage or long term staging. A letter listing specific requirements for work within Gulley Park and itemizing backfill and cleanup requirements in the Park is attached. 18. The existing 36 -inch main material at Sta. 0+00 is ductile iron. The new 36 -inch main must be tested before it is connected to the existing main. This Addendum No. 1 consists of four pages of written documentation. Except as amended by this addendum, the requirements of the project as set forth in the original bid documents shall remain in effect. This addendum must be acknowledged in the space provided on the Bid Form. _ Gzy/a, Robert W.

Mountain St. ARKANSAS Fayetteville, AR 72701 Telephone: (479) 444-3471 THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS TO: David Jurgens, Director of Utilities FROM: Carole Jones, Park Planner CC: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Connie Edmonston, Director of Parks and Recreation Alison Jumper, Park Planner Byron Humphry, Parks Maintenance Superintendent Josh Bowen, Parks Maintenance Supervisor Shannon Jones, Staff Engineer DATE: June 22, 2009 SUBJECT: Construction of 36 -Inch Water Line through Gulley Park Parks staff has discussed the proposed construction of a 36 -inch water line through Gulley Park using the information provided from Shannon Jones. The following are our comments and concerns: 1. We are hopeful that the construction will begin after our last park concert which is Thursday, August 6, 2009, 2. Because this is one of our most popular Community Parks, there are special requirements from the Contractor: • Safety of the park patrons at all times is of the utmost importance. Safety fencing and signage will be required around the entire project site at the Contractor's expense. Additionally, the Contractor should expect daily reinstallation of portions of the safety fencing. • Parks staff is requesting an on -site meeting with the selected Contractor regarding the re-routing of the trail especially on the east side of the creek where the bore is proposed. Safety fencing and signage will be required at the Contractor's expense. • We will require good compaction of all disturbed areas (particularly where the water line is placed) with removal of rocks and debris that is 2 -inch or larger in diameter. This is required for safety, aesthetics and mower maintenance. • We will require four inches of topsoil instead of or in addition to replacement of excavated material. We will also require re -seeding with 5 -star tall fescue blend. K:IPARKS1Gulley136 Inch Water Line\Gulley Park Water Line Memo.06-22-09.doc Page 1 of 2 We would like restoration in sections as the project progresses instead of at the end if possible. We request replacement of any trees removed at a one to one ratio. Species of trees will be determined by Parks staff. Thank you for your consideration of these items.

Any reuse of these materials without specific written verification or adaptation by the Engineer and the Owner will be at the risk of the user and without liability or legal expense to the Engineer and the Owner. Such user shall hold the Engineer and the Owner harmless from any and all damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees, from any and all claims arising from any such reuse. Any such verification and adaptation by the Engineer and the Owner will entitle the Engineer to further compensation at rates to be agreed upon by the user, the Engineer and the Owner. All models are the property of the Owner. THE ENGINEER 26. AUTHORITY OF THE ENGINEER The Engineer shall be the Owner's representative during the construction period. His authority and responsibility shall be limited to the provisions set forth in these Contract Documents. The Engineer shall have the authority to reject Work and material which does not conform to the Contract Documents. However, neither the Engineer's authority to act under this provision, nor any decision made by him in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority, shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of the Engineer to the Contractor, any Subcontractor, their respective Sureties, any of their agents or employees, or any other person performing any of the Work. 27. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ENGINEER The Engineer will make periodic visits to the site of the Project to observe the progress and quality of the Work and to determine, in general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the intent of the Contract Documents. He shall not be required to make comprehensive or continuous inspections to check quality or quantity of the Work, and he shall not be responsible for FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 -5 construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work. Visits and observations made by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of his obligation to conduct comprehensive inspections of the Work and to furnish materials and perform acceptable Work, and to provide adequate safety precautions, in conformance with the intent of the Contract. The Engineer will make decisions, in writing, on all claims of the Owner or the Contractor arising from interpretation or execution of the Contract Documents.

REJECTED MATERIAL Any material condemned or rejected by the Engineer or his authorized construction observer because of nonconformity with the Contract Documents shall be removed at once from the vicinity of the Work by the Contractor at his own expense, and the same shall not be used on the Work. 29. UNNOTICED DEFECTS Any defective Work or material that may be discovered by the Engineer during construction or before the final acceptance of Work, or before final payment has been made, or during the guarantee period, shall be removed and replaced by Work and materials which shall conform to the provisions of the Contract Documents. Failure on the part of the Engineer to condemn or reject bad or inferior Work or materials shall not be construed to imply acceptance of such Work or materials. The Owner shall reserve and retain all of its rights and remedies at law against the Contractor and its surety for correction of any and all latent defects discovered after the guarantee period. 30. RIGHT TO RETAIN IMPERFECT WORK If any part or portion of the Work done or material furnished under this Contract shall prove defective and not in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications, and if the imperfection in the same shall not be of sufficient magnitude or importance as to make the Work dangerous or unsuitable, or if the removal of such Work will create conditions which are dangerous or undesirable, the Owner shall have the right and authority to retain such Work but shall make such deductions in the final payment therefore as may be just and reasonable. The Owner shall also have the option to require, at no added cost to the Owner, extended warranties, maintenance bonds, or other remedies to provide for repair or reconstruction of imperfect Work.

Figured dimensions, when given in the Drawings, shall be accurately followed, even though they may differ from scaled measurements. No Work shown on the Drawings, the dimensions of which are not figured, shall be executed until instructions have been obtained from the Engineers as to the dimensions to be used. Large-scale and full-size drawings shall be followed in preference to small-scale drawings. The Engineer will provide the Contractor with bench marks to be used to establish grades and will also provide a baseline to be used to establish the proper lines. All Work done under this Contract shall be done to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings. The Contractor shall stake -out Work for this Contract and set the lines and grades necessary to complete the Work and shall keep the Engineer informed a reasonable time in advance of the times and places at which he wishes to do Work in order that the Engineer may review the lines and grades set by the Contractor and in order that the Engineer may make the necessary measurements for payment to the Contractor.

Any Work done without lines, grades, and levels being reviewed by the Engineer, or other representative of the Engineer, may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's cost and expense. The Contractor shall carefully preserve all monuments, bench marks, reference points, and stakes, and in case of willful or careless destruction of the same, he will be charged with the resulting expense of replacement and shall be responsible for any mistakes or loss of time that may be caused by their unnecessary loss or disturbance. In the event that the stakes and marks placed by the Engineer are destroyed through carelessness on the part of the Contractor, and that the destruction of these stakes and marks causes a delay in the Work, the Contractor shall have no claim for damages or extensions of time. In the case of any permanent monuments or bench marks which must of necessity be removed or disturbed in the construction of the Work, the Contractor shall carefully protect and preserve the same until they can be properly referenced and relocated. The Contractor shall also furnish at his own expense such materials and assistance as are necessary for the proper replacement of monuments or bench marks that have been moved or destroyed. 32. SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE The Contractor shall submit a sufficient number of copies to allow the Engineer to retain four copies (2 for himself; 2 for the Owner) for review, such shop drawings, electrical diagrams, and catalog cuts for fabricated items and manufactured items (including mechanical and electrical equipment) required for construction, except as noted below. Should the Contractor fail to submit acceptable shop drawings on the second submittal, one copy will be returned to him and the cost of the Engineer's time to review subsequent submittals on the FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 7 unacceptable item will be deducted from the Contractor's monthly payment invoice. Shop drawings shall be submitted in sufficient time to allow the Engineer not less than 20 regular working days per submittal for examining the shop drawings.

The practice of submitting incomplete or unchecked shop drawings for the Engineer to correct or finish will not be acceptable, and shop drawings which, in the opinion of the Engineer, clearly indicate that they have not been checked by the Contractor will be considered as not complying with the intent of the Contract Documents and will be returned to the Contractor for resubmission in the proper form. When the shop drawings have been reviewed by the Engineer, two (2) sets of submittals will be returned to the Contractor appropriately stamped. If major changes or corrections are necessary, the shop drawing may be rejected and one (1) set will be returned to the Contractor with such changes or corrections indicated, and the Contractor shall correct and resubmit the shop drawings in quadruplicate, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. No changes shall be made by the Contractor to resubmitted shop drawings other than those changes indicated by the Engineer, unless such changes are clearly described in a letter accompanying the resubmitted shop drawings. The review of such shop drawings and catalog cuts by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for correctness of dimensions, fabrication details, and space requirements or for deviations from the Contract Drawings or Specifications unless the Contractor has called attention to such deviations in writing by a letter accompanying the shop drawings and the Engineer approves the change or deviation in writing at the time of submission; nor shall review by the Engineer relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for errors in the shop drawings. When the Contractor does call such deviations to the attention of the Engineer, the Contractor shall state in his letter whether or not such deviations involve any deduction or extra cost adjustment. 33. ADDITIONAL DETAIL DRAWINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS The Engineer will furnish, with reasonable promptness, additional instructions by means of drawings or otherwise, if, in the Engineer's opinion, such are required for the proper execution of the Work.

FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 17 59. PROSECUTION OF THE WORK It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of beginning, rate of progress, and time of completion of the Work are the essence of this Contract. The Work shall be prosecuted at such time, and in or on such part or parts of the Project as may be required, to complete the Project as contemplated in the Contract Documents and the approved construction schedule. Regular Work hours shall be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. No Work requiring the presence of the Engineer's representative will be performed outside of regular Work hours. The cost of additional engineering services will be based upon actual hours worked (labor cost x 3) plus out-of-pocket expenses such as lodging, mileage, materials, etc. Otherwise, the Contractor may perform clean-up work only outside of regular hours (including Saturdays and Sundays). No Work will be accomplished on holidays. 60. ASSIGNMENT Neither party to the Contract shall assign the Contract or sublet it as a whole, without the written consent of the other, nor shall the Contractor assign any monies due or to become due to him hereunder without the prior written consent of the Owner. 61. OWNER'S RIGHT TO DO WORK If the Contractor should, in the opinion of the Engineer, neglect to prosecute the Work properly or should neglect or refuse at his own cost to take up and replace Work as shall have been rejected by the Engineer, then the Owner shall notify the Surety of the condition, and after 10 days' written notice to the Contractor and the Surety, or without notice if an emergency or danger to the Work or public exists, and without prejudice to any other right which the Owner may have under the Contract, take over that portion of the work which has been improperly executed or uncompleted, and make good the deficiencies and deduct the cost thereof from the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor, and if such payments are not sufficient thereof, charge the cost to the Contractor and its surety. 62. OWNER'S RIGHT TO TRANSFER EMPLOYMENT If the Contractor should abandon the Work or should be adjudged bankrupt, or if he should make a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail, except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials, or if he should fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors for material or labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances, or the instructions of the Engineer, or otherwise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the Contract or any laws or ordinance, the Owner may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, and after giving. the Contractor and Surety 7 days' written notice, transfer the employment for said Work from the Contractor to the Surety. Upon receipt of such notice, such Surety shall enter upon the premises and take possession of all materials, tools, and appliances thereon for the purpose of completing the Work included under this Contract and employ, by Contract or otherwise, any qualified person or persons to finish the Work and provide the materials therefore, in accordance with the Contract Documents, without termination of the continuing full force and effect of this Contract. In case of such transfer of employment to such Surety, the Surety shall be paid in its own name on estimates according to the terms hereof without any right of the Contractor to make any claim for the same or any part thereof. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 18 If after the furnishing of said written notice to the Surety, the Contractor and the Surety still fail to make reasonable progress on the performance of the Work, the Owner may terminate the employment of the Contractor and take possession of the premises and of all materials, tools, and appliances thereon and fmish the Work by whatever method he may deem expedient and charge the cost thereof to the Contractor and Surety. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the expense of completing the Contract, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative services, shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor and the Surety shall pay the difference to the Owner. 63. OWNER'S RIGHT TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE WORK Owner may suspend work under the following conditions: At any time and without cause, Owner may suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety days by notice in writing to Contractor and Engineer which will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension if Contract makes an approved claim therefore as provided in per the General Conditions. Owner may terminate: Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: 1. If Contractor persistently fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress schedule established in the Contract Documents. 2. If Contractor disregards Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction. 3. If Contractor disregards the authority of the Engineers. 4. If Contractor otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract Documents. Owner may, after giving Contractor (and the surety, if any) seven daysO written notice and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of Contractor, exclude Contractor from the site and take possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools, appliances, construction equipment, and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for trespass or conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and fmish the Work as Owner may deem expedient. In such case Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and damages sustained by Owner arising out of or resulting from completing the Work such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by Engineer as to their reasonableness and when so approved by Engineer incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any rights or remedies under the paragraph Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by Owner will not release Contractor from liability. FY082I46 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 19 Upon seven days' written notice to Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner, elect to terminate the Contract. In such case, Contractor shall be paid (without duplication of any items): 1. For completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work. 2. For expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses. 3. For all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with Subcontractors, Suppliers and others. 4. For reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination. Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination. 64. DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME If the Contractor is delayed in the progress of the Work by any separate Contractor employed by the Owner, or by strikes, lockouts, fire, excessive adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipated (on the basis of official weather records from the past ten years, minimum, from the locality involved), or acts of God, the Contractor shall, within 48 hours of the start of the occurrence, give written notice to the Owner of the cause of the potential delay and estimate the possible time extension involved, and within 7 days after the cause of delay has been remedied, the Contractor shall given written notice to the Owner of any actual time extension requested as a result of the aforementioned occurrence; then the Contract time may be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Engineer determines. It is agreed that no claim shall be made or allowed for any damages which may arise out of any delay caused by the above referenced acts or occurrences, other than claims for the appropriate extension of time. No extension of time will be granted to the Contractor for delays occurring to parts of the Work that have no measurable impact on the completion of the total Work under this Contract; nor will extension of time be granted for delays to parts of Work that are not located on the critical path if the Critical Path Method (CPM) is used for scheduling the Work. No extension of time will be considered for weather conditions normal to the area in which the Work is being performed. Unusual weather conditions, if determined by the Engineer to be of a severity that would stop all progress of the Work, may be considered as cause for an extension of Contract completion time. The Contractor shall provide official documentation of weather conditions experienced versus those anticipated as described above. Delays in delivery of equipment or material purchased by the Contractor or his subcontractors (including Owner -selected equipment) shall not be considered as a just cause for delay. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for the timely ordering, scheduling, expediting, delivery, and installation of all equipment and materials. Within a reasonable period after the Contractor submits to the Owner a written request for an extension of time, the Engineer will present his written opinion to the Owner as to whether an extension of time is justified, and, if so, his recommendation as to the number of days for time extension. The Owner will make the final decision on all requests for extension of time. In no FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 20 event shall the Contractor be entitled under this Contract to collect or recover any damages, loss, or expense incurred by any delay other than as caused by the Owner, as stipulated in the Article titled, NOTICE OF CLAIM FOR DELAY. 65. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES The Work shall begin at the time stated in the Notice to Proceed issued by the Owner to the Contractor and shall be completed within the number of consecutive calendar days, or by the calendar date, stated in the accepted Bid and Contract. The time shall be computed from and including the date stated in the Notice to Proceed. It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Contract. The Contractor agrees that said Work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and uninterruptedly at such rate or progress as will insure full completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the completion of the Work described herein is a reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic range and usual construction conditions prevailing in this locality. If the Contractor shall neglect, fail, or refuse to complete the Work within the time herein specified, or any proper extension thereof granted by the Owner, then the Contractor does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract, a penalty put as liquidated damages for such breach of Contract, as hereinafter set forth, for each and every calendar day that the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the Work. The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages which the Owner would in such event sustain, and said amount shall be retained from time to time by the Owner from current periodic pay estimates. 66. OTHER CONTRACTS The Owner reserves the right to award other Contracts in connection with the Work. The Contractor shall afford other Contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of their Work and shall properly connect and coordinate his Work with theirs. If any part of the Work under this Contract depends on the prior acceptable completion of Work by others under separate Contract(s), the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Engineer any defects in such Work that would adversely affect the satisfactory completion of the Work under this Contract. The Contractor's failure to so inspect and report shall constitute acceptance of the Work by others as being suitable for the proper reception and completion of the Work under this Contract, excluding, however, those defects in the Work by others that occur after the satisfactory completion of the Work specified hereunder. 67. USE OF PREMISES The Contractor shall confine his equipment, the storage of materials, and the operation of his workers to limits shown on the Drawings or indicated by law, ordinances, permits, or directions of the Engineer, and shall not unreasonably encumber the premises with his materials. The Contractor shall provide, at his own expense, the necessary rights -of -way and access to the Work which may be required outside the limits of the Owner's property. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 -21 68. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE The Engineer may, at his sole discretion, issue a written notice of substantial completion for the purpose of establishing the starting date for specific equipment guarantees, and to establish the date that the Owner will assume the responsibility for the cost of operating such equipment. Said notice shall not be considered as final acceptance of any portion of the Work or relieve the Contractor from completing the remaining Work within the specified time and in full compliance with the Contract Documents. Such substantial completion shall not relieve Contractor from liquidated damages should the Owner have added costs after the completion date, i.e., if additional construction observation, interest paid, loss of revenue, or other expenses continue to be charged to the Owner. Substantial completion of an operating facility shall be that degree of completion that will provide a minimum of 7 continuous work days of successful operation in which all performance and acceptance testing has been successfully demonstrated to the Engineer. All equipment contained in the Work, plus all other components necessary to enable the Owner to operate the facility in the manner that was intended, shall be complete on the substantial completion date. See "SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" under Article DEFINITIONS, of these General Conditions. 69. PERFORMANCE TESTING Operating equipment and systems shall be performance tested in the presence of the Engineer to demonstrate compliance with the specified requirements. Performance testing shall be conducted under the specified design operating conditions or under such simulated operating conditions as recommended or approved by the Engineer. Schedule such testing with the Engineer at least 1 week in advance of the planned date for testing. 70. OWNER'S USE OF PORTIONS OF THE WORK The Owner shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the Work. Such use shall not be considered as final acceptance of any portion of the Work, nor shall such use be considered as cause for an extension of the Contract completion time, unless authorized by a Change Order issued by the Owner. 71. CUTTING AND PATCHING The Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting, or patching of his Work that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and fit it to receive or be received by Work of other Contractors shown upon or reasonably implied by the Drawings. Any defective Work or material, performed or furnished by the Contractor, that may be discovered by the Engineer before the final acceptance of the Work or before final payment has been made, shall be removed and replaced or patched, in a manner as approved by the Engineer at the expense of the Contractor. 72. CLEANING UP The Contractor shall, at all times, at his own expense, keep property on which Work is in progress and the adjacent property free from accumulations of waste material or rubbish caused by employees or by the Work. Upon completion of the construction, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, remove all temporary structures, rubbish, and waste materials resulting from his operations. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 22 PAYMENT 73. PAYMENT FOR CHANGE ORDERS Payment or credit for any alterations covered by a Change Order shall be determined by one or a combination of the methods set forth in A, B, or C below as applicable: A. UNIT PRICES. If applicable, those unit prices stipulated in the Bid, shall be utilized. If such Unit Prices are not applicable, the Contractor and Owner may utilize Unit Prices as mutually agreed upon. B. LUMP SUM. A total lump sum for the Work may be negotiated as mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and Owner. In "A" and "B" above, Contractor's quotations for Change Orders shall be in writing and firm for a period of 90 days. Any compensation paid in conjunction with the terms of a Change Order shall comprise total compensation due the Contractor for the Work or alteration defined in the Change Order. By signing the Change Order, the Contractor acknowledges that the stipulated compensation includes payment for the Work or alteration plus all payment for the interruption of schedules, extended overhead, delay or any other impact claim or ripple effect, and by such signing specifically waives any reservation or claim for additional compensation in respect to the subject of the Change Order. The Owner's request for quotations on alterations to the Work shall not be considered authorization to proceed with the Work prior to the issuance of a formal Change Order, nor shall such request justify any delay in existing Work. Lump sum quotations for alterations to the Work shall include substantiating documentation with an itemized breakdown of Contractor and subcontractor costs, including labor, material, rentals, approved services, overhead, and profit calculated as specified under "C" below. C. FORCE ACCOUNT WORK. If the method of payment cannot be agreed upon prior to the beginning of the Work, and the Owner or the Engineer directs that the Work be done by written Change Order or on a force account basis, then the Contractor shall furnish labor, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the Work in a satisfactory manner and within a reasonable period of time. For the Work performed, payment will be made for the documented actual cost of the following: 1) Labor, including foremen, who are directly assigned to the force account Work: (actual payroll cost, including wages, fringe benefits as established by negotiated labor agreements, labor insurance, and labor taxes as established by law). No other fixed labor burdens will be considered, unless approved in writing by the Owner. 2) Material delivered and used on the designated Work, including sales tax, if paid for by the Contractor or his subcontractor. 3) Rental, or equivalent rental cost of equipment, including necessary transportation for items having a value in excess of $100. 4) Additional bond, as required and approved by the Owner. 5) Additional insurance (other than labor insurance) as required and approved by the Owner. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 23 To costs under 73C, FORCE ACCOUNT WORK, there shall be added the following fixed fees for the Contractor or subcontractor actually performing the Work: A fixed fee not to exceed 15 percent of the cost of all items above. The added fixed fees shall be considered to be full compensation, covering the cost of general supervision, overhead, profit, and any other general expense. The Owner reserves the right to furnish such materials and equipment as he deems expedient, and the Contractor shall have no claim for profit or added fees on the cost of such materials and equipment. For equipment under Item 3 above, rental or equivalent rental cost will be allowed for only those days or hours during which the equipment is in actual use. Rental and transportation allowances shall not exceed the current rental rates prevailing in the locality. The rentals allowed for equipment will, in all cases, be understood to cover all fuel, supplies, repairs, and renewals, and no further allowances will be made for those items, unless specific agreement to that effect is made. The Contractor shall maintain his records in such a manner as to provide a clear distinction between the direct costs of Work paid for on a force account basis and the costs of other operations. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer report sheets in duplicate of each day's force account Work no later than the working day following the performance of said Work. The daily report sheets shall itemize the materials used, and shall cover the direct cost of labor and the charges for equipment rental, whether furnished by the Contractor, subcontractor, or other forces. The daily report sheets shall provide names or identifications and classifications of workers, the hourly rate of pay and hours worked, and also the size, type, and identification number of equipment and hours operated. Material charges shall be substantiated by valid copies of vendors' invoices. Such invoices shall be submitted with the daily report sheets, or, if not available, they shall be submitted with subsequent daily report sheets. Said daily report sheets shall be signed by the Contractor or his authorized agent. To receive partial payments and final payment for force account Work, the Contractor shall submit in a manner approved by the Engineer, detailed and complete documented verification of the Contractor's and any of his subcontractors' actual current costs involved in the force account Work pursuant to the issuance of an approved Change Order. Such costs shall be submitted within 30 days after said Work has been performed. No payment will be made for Work billed and submitted to the Engineer after the 30 -day period has expired. No extra or additional Work shall be performed by the Contractor, except in an emergency endangering life or property, unless in pursuance of a written Change Order, as provided in ALTERATIONS -CHANGES IN WORK. 74. PARTIAL PAYMENTS A. GENERAL Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to affect the right, hereby reserved, to reject the whole or any part of the aforesaid Work, should such Work be later found not to comply with the provisions of the Contract Documents. All estimated quantities of Work FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 24 for which partial payments have been made are subject to review and correction on the final estimate. Payment by the Owner and acceptance by the Contractor of partial payments based on periodic estimates of quantities of Work performed shall not, in any way, constitute acceptance of the estimated quantities used as the basis for computing the amounts of the partial payments. For public works projects, each partial payment request and final payment request shall contain an affidavit by the Contractor that all provisions of the applicable federal and state requirements regarding apprentices and payment of prevailing wages have been complied with by him and by his Subcontractors. B. ESTIMATE AND PAYMENT Before the first working day of each calendar month, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a detailed estimate of the amount earned for the separate portions of the Work, and request payment. As used in this Article, the words "amount earned" means the value, on the date of the estimate for partial payment, of the Work completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, and the value of approved materials delivered to the Project site suitably stored and protected prior to incorporation into the Work. If the Contractor's estimate of amount earned conforms with the Engineer's evaluation, the Engineer will calculate the amount due the Contractor and make recommendation to the Owner for payment. An estimate of monthly progress payments shall be provided for the entire job prior to the first payment request. An update of the estimate of progress payments shall be updated if the actual progress differs by more than 20 percent in any given month. Each monthly payment request shall include the required updated Schedule. If the updated Schedule is not submitted, the Owner may withhold payment until this item is completed. The Contractor shall be paid within 30 days of approval of the payment request. C. DEDUCTION FROM ESTIMATE Unless modified in the Supplementary Conditions, deductions from the estimate will be as described below. The Owner will deduct from the estimate, and retain as part security, 10 percent of the amount earned for Work satisfactorily completed. However, no deduction or retainage will be made on the approved items of material delivered to and properly stored at the job site but not incorporated into the Work. When the Work is 50 percent complete, the Owner may "freeze" the retainage at 5 percent of the dollar value of the total contract provided that the Contractor is making satisfactory progress and there is no specific cause for a greater retainage. The Owner may reinstate the retainage up to 10 percent of the dollar value of "Work complete to date" if the Owner determines, at his discretion, that the Contractor is not making satisfactory progress or where there is other specific cause for such withholding. NOTE: Exception --If the Work includes water or sewer pipelines, the Contractor shall maintain the Work for a period of ninety (90) days following its acceptance by the OWNER. Up to five percent (5%) of the Contract amount shall be retained during this maintenance period. All prior payments shall be subject to correction in the final payment. This 90 -day period does not relieve the Contractor of the Performance and Payment Bond requirements regarding warranty of the Project. In such cases, the semi-final payment estimate shall indicate the initial acceptance of the Work, and the warranty shall begin on such date. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 25 D. QUALIFICATION FOR PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS DELIVERED Unless modified in the Supplementary Conditions, qualification for partial payment for materials delivered but not yet incorporated in to the Work shall be as described below. Materials, as used herein, shall be considered to be those items which are fabricated or manufactured material and equipment. To receive partial payment for materials delivered to the site, but not incorporated in the Work, it shall be necessary for the Contractor to include invoices of such materials and documentation warranting that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein; all of which must be satisfactory to Owner. At the time of the next partial payment request, the Contractor must submit the following documentation relative to materials paid on the previous partial payment: paid invoices of such materials or other documentation warranting that the Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests, and encumbrances (i.e., all materials have been paid for by Contractor). Failure to submit this documentation will result in an appropriate reduction on the current partial payment estimate for such materials. At his sole discretion, the Engineer may approve items for which partial payment is to be made. Proper storage and protection shall be provided by the Contractor, and as approved by the Engineer. Final payment shall be made only for materials actually incorporated in the Work and, upon acceptance of the Work, all materials remaining for which advance payments had been made shall revert to the Contractor, unless otherwise agreed, and partial payments made for these items shall be deducted from the final payment for the Work. E. PAYMENT After deducting the retainages and the amount of all previous partial payments made to the Contractor, the amount earned as of the current month will be made payable to the Contractor within 30 days of the Owner's receipt of an approved request, except where the Owner is a municipality or other agency whose laws require the approval of each payment by a council or similar body, in which case, the payment shall become due and payable 10 days after the first regularly -scheduled meeting in the month following the submittal of such payment request. 75. CLAIMS In any case where the Contractor deems additional compensation is due him for Work or materials not clearly covered in the Contract or not ordered by the Engineer according to provisions of Article 20 ALTERATIONS - CHANGES IN WORK, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, of his intention to make claim for such compensation before he begins the Work on which he bases the claim, in order that such matters may be settled, if possible, or other appropriate action promptly taken. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper facilities by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive the claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor, and the fact that the Engineer has kept account of the cost as aforesaid, shall not in any way be construed as proving the validity of the claim. Claims for additional compensation shall be made in itemized detail and submitted, in writing, to the Owner and Engineer within 10 days following completion of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor bases his claim. In case the claim is found to be just, it shall be allowed and paid for as provided in the Article titled, PAYMENT FOR CHANGE ORDERS. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700 - 26 76. NOTICE OF CLAIM FOR DELAY If the Contractor intends to file a claim for additional compensation for delay caused by the Owner at a particular time, he shall file a notice of claim with the Owner within 7 days of the beginning of the occurrence. The notice of claim shall be in duplicate, in writing, and need not state the amount. No claim for additional compensation will be considered unless the provisions of Article 64, DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME, are complied with, and a notice of claim has been filed with the Owner in writing, as stated above. Should the Owner be prevented or enjoined from proceeding with Work, either before or after its prosecution, or from authorizing its prosecution by reason of any litigation, the Contractor shall not be entitled to make or assert claim for damage by reason of said delay; but time for completion of the Work will be extended to such reasonable time as the Owner may determine will compensate for time lost by such delay, with such determination to be set forth in writing. 77. RELEASE OF LIENS OR CLAIMS The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the Owner from all claims for labor and materials furnished under this Contract. Prior to the final payment, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, as part of his final payment request, an affidavit that all of the Contractor's obligations on the Project have been satisfied and that there are no unpaid taxes, liens, vendorsliens, rights to lien or any other type of claim against the Project, and that the hourly wages paid to all persons on the Project were in accordance with the applicable wage scale determinations. 78. FINAL PAYMENT Upon completion of all of the Work under this Contract, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, that he has completed his part of the Contract and shall request final inspection. Upon receipt of the Contractor's written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection, the Engineer shall make such inspection and shall submit to the Owner his recommendation as to acceptance of the completed Work and as to the final estimate of the amount due the Contractor under this Contract. Upon approval of this final estimate by the Owner and compliance with provisions in Article titled, RELEASE OF LIENS OR CLAIMS, and other provisions as may be applicable, the Owner shall pay to the Contractor all monies due him under the provisions of these Contract Documents. On contracts for public works, final payment of the retained percentage will not be made until the Contractor has also furnished the applicable apprenticeship wage certification. 79. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS Neither the inspection of the Owner, through the Engineer or any of his employees, nor any order by the Owner for payment of money, nor any payment for, or acceptance of, the whole or any part of the Work by the Owner or Engineer, nor any extension of time, nor any possession taken by the Owner or its employees shall operate as a waiver of any provision of this Contract, or any power herein reserved to the Owner, or any right to damages herein provided nor shall any waiver of any breach in this Contract be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 80. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT CONSTITUTES RELEASE The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall release the Owner and the Engineer, as agent of the Owner, from all claims and all liability to the Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with the Work, and every act of the Owner and others relating to or arising FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 00700-27 out of the Work. No payment, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release the Contractor or his Sureties from obligations under this Contract and the Performance and Payment Bonds, and other bonds and warranties, as herein provided.

Concrete shall be consolidated with internal vibrators having a frequency of at least 8000 vpm, with amplitude required to consolidate the concrete in the section being placed. At least one standby vibrator in operable condition shall be at the placement site prior to placing the concrete. Consolidation equipment and methods shall conform to ACI 309. The forms shall contain sufficient windows or be limited in height to allow visual observation of the concrete and the vibrator operator shall be required to see the concrete being consolidated to ensure good quality workmanship, or the Contractor shall have a person who is actually observing the vibration of the concrete at all times and advising the vibrator operator of any changes needed to assure complete consolidation. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 03300 - 7 3.17 PLACING CONCRETE IN HOT WEATHER A. Prepare concrete aggregates, mixing water, and other ingredients; place concrete; cure; and protect in accordance with the requirements of ACI 305. Provide special admixtures and special curing methods required by other paragraphs in this Section even though not required by ACI 305 and ACI 318. Water -reducing and/or set -retarding admixtures shall be used in such quantities as especially recommended by the manufacturer to assure that the concrete is workable, and lift lines will not be visible in architectural concrete finishes. B. Every effort shall be made to maintain a concrete temperature below 90 degrees F at time of placement. Ingredients shall be cooled before mixing to prevent excessive concrete temperature. C. Provisions shall be made for windbreaks, shading, fog spraying, sprinkling, or wet cover, when necessary. 3.18 PLACING CONCRETE IN COLD WEATHER A. Do not place concrete when the ambient temperature is below 40 degrees F, or approaching 40 degrees F and falling, without special protection as hereinafter specified. No concrete shall be placed against frozen earth or ice, or against forms and reinforcement with frost or ice present. B. Temperatures of the concrete mix shall be as shown below for various stages of mixing, placing of the concrete mix. CONCRETE TEMPERATURES Section size, minimum dimension, inch Air Temp. 12 in. 12-36 inches 36-72 inches 72 inches Minimum concrete temperature as mixed for indicated weather: Above 30 F 60 F 55 F 50 F 45 F 0to30F 65F 60F 55F 50F Below0F F 70 F 65 F 60 F 55 F Maximum allowable gradual temperature drop in first 24 hours after end of protection: 50F 40F 30F 20F C. Concrete placed shall be cured and protected as hereinafter specified for a minimum of 7 days except that the strength requirements may require additional protection and curing during cold weather due to delayed field strength gain. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 03300 - 8 D. During cold weather concreting the Contractor shall cast six extra test cylinders, for field curing, from the last 100 cubic yards of concrete but not fewer than three specimens shall be cast for each 2 hours of placing time or for each 100 yards, whichever produces greater number of specimens. These specimens shall be in addition to those cast by the Engineer for lab testing as specified hereinafter in Paragraph EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF CONCRETE. E. Test cylinders shall be protected from the weather until they can be placed under same protection provided for the parts of the structure which they represent. Test cylinders shall be tested in accordance with applicable sections of ASTM C 31 and C 39. Evaluation and acceptance as per ACI 318-77, Paragraph 4.8.3. F. The actual temperature of the concrete surface determines the effectiveness of protection, regardless of air temperatures or whether the objective is durability or strength. Because corners and edges of concrete are most vulnerable to freezing and usually are more difficult to maintain at the required temperature, their temperatures should be monitored to evaluate and verify the protection provided. The Contractor shall provide a sufficient number of thermometers to be placed on the concrete surfaces spaced throughout the work to allow inspection and monitoring of concrete surface temperatures representative of all the work. G. Heating units should be vented and not be permitted to heat or dry the concrete locally. Fresh concrete exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) gas from polluted atmospheres or resulting from the use of salamanders or other heating devices which exhaust flue gases directly into an enclosed area may result in concrete carbonation, causing soft surfaces of varying depths depending on the concentration of carbon dioxide, the temperature at which the concrete was cured, and the relative humidity. Carbon monoxide, which can occur with partial combustion, and high levels of carbon dioxide are potential hazards to workmen. Moreover, strict fire prevention measures should be enforced. Concrete at any age can be damaged by fire, but at a very early age it may be additionally damaged by freezing until new protection can be provided. H. Maintain curing conditions which will foster normal strength development without excessive heat, and without critical saturation of the concrete at the close of the protection period. 1. Limit rapid temperature changes, particularly before strength has developed sufficiently to withstand temperature stresses. Sudden chilling of concrete surfaces or exterior members in relation to interior structure can promote cracking to the detriment of strength and durability. At the end of the required period, protection should be discontinued in such a manner that the drop in temperature of any portion of the concrete will be gradual and will not exceed, in 24 hours, the amount shown in the table hereinbefore specified. J. Maintain the temperature of the concrete above 50 degrees for a minimum of 7 days. The Contractor shall submit his detailed plan for cold weather curing and protection of all concrete that is to be placed and/or cured in weather below 40 degrees F. Reference may be made to the recommendations of ACI 306 and AC! 318 for additional information. Conform to these Specifications and to any additional information in ACI 306 which will provide the temperature protection and curing for the 7 -day period. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 03300 - 9 K. Additives for the sole purpose of providing "freeze protection" shall not be used. Additives to shorten the cure time may be used if approved; however, the concrete shall be placed and cured at all times at temperatures above freezing as hereinbefore specified. 3.19 BONDING TO NEW CONCRETE HORIZONTAL CONSTRUCTION JOINTS A. Roughen the surface of the hardened concrete.

Where any section of pipe is provided with concrete thrust blocking, do not make the pressure test until at least 5 days have elapsed after the thrust blocking is installed. If high -early cement is used for thrust blocking, the time may be reduced to 2 days. When testing cement -mortar lined piping, slowly fill the section of pipe to be tested FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 15001-6 with water and allow to stand for 24 hours under slight pressure to allow the cement -mortar lining to absorb water. 2. Expel all air from the piping system prior to testing and apply and maintain the specified test pressure by means of the hydraulic force pump. Valve off the piping system when the test pressure is reached and conduct the pressure test for 2 hours, reopening the isolation valve only as necessary to restore the test pressure. The pump suction shall be in a barrel or similar device, or metered so that the amount of water required to maintain the test pressure may be measured accurately. This measurement represents the leakage, which is defined as the quantity of water necessary to maintain the specified test pressure for the duration of the test period. No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater than the number of gallons per hour as determined by the following formula: ND(P) L= 7400 In the above formula: L = Allowable leakage, in gallons per hour N = Number of joints in the length of pipe tested D = Nominal diameter of pipe, in inches P = Average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per square inch The Contractor shall correct any leakage greater than the allowance determined under this formula at the Contractor's sole expense. 3.19 INITIAL SERVICE LEAK TESTS - EQUIPMENT A. Equipment used for initial service leak testing may be the same as that specified under HYDROSTATIC LEAK TESTS hereinbefore, or the pump or compressor connected to the piping system. 3.20 SERVICE LEAK TESTS - PROCEDURE A. The initial service leak test shall be performed by gradually bringing the piping system up to normal operating pressure and holding it there continuously for a minimum time of 10 minutes. Examination for leakage shall be made at all joints and connections. The piping system, exclusive of possible localized instances at pump or valve packing, shall show no visual evidence of weeping or leaking. Any visible leakage shall be corrected at the Contractor's sole expense. 3.2I TEST RECORDS A. Records shall be made of each piping system installation during the test. These records shall include: 1.

For large diameter pipe where it is impractical or impossible to flush the pipe at 2.5 fps velocity, clean the pipeline in place from the inside by brushing and sweeping, then flush the line at a lower velocity. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 15001-8 C. Disinfecting Mixture: Disinfecting mixture shall be a chlorine -water solution having a free chlorine residual of 40 to 50 ppm. The disinfecting mixture shall be prepared by injecting: (I) A liquid chlorine gas -water mixture; (2) dry chlorine gas; or (3) a calcium or sodium hypochlorite and water mixture into the pipeline at a measured rate while fresh water is allowed to flow through the pipeline at a measured rate so that the combined mixture of fresh water and chlorine solution or gas is of the specified strength. D. The liquid chlorine gas -water mixture shall be applied by means of a standard commercial solution feed chlorinating device. Dry chlorine gas shall be fed through proper devices for regulating the rate of flow and providing effective diffusion of the gas into the water within the pipe being treated. Chlorinating devices for feeding solutions of the chlorine gas or the gas itself must provide means for preventing the backflow of water into the chlorine cylinder. E. If the calcium hypochlorite procedure is used, first mix the dry powder with water to make a thick paste, then thin to approximately a 1 percent solution (10,000 ppm chlorine). If the sodium hypochlorite procedure is used, dilute the liquid with water to obtain a 1 percent solution. The following proportions of hypochlorite to water will be required: Product Ouantity Water Calcium Hypochlorite (1) 1 lb 7.5 gal. (65 to 70 percent Cl) Sodium Hypochlorite (2) 1 gal 4.25 gal. (5.25 percent Cl) Comparable to commercial products known as HTH, Perchloron, and Pittchlor 2. Known as liquid laundry bleach, Clorox, Purex, etc. 3.26 3.27 POINT OF APPLICATION A. Inject the chlorine mixture into the pipeline to be treated at the beginning of the line through a corporation stop or suitable tap in the top of the pipeline. Clean water from the existing system or another source shall be controlled so as to flow slowly into the newly installed piping during the application of chlorine. The rate of chlorine mixture flow shall be in such proportion to the rate of water entering the pipe that the combined mixture shall contain 40 to 50 ppm of free available chlorine. Valves shall be manipulated so that the strong chlorine solution in the line being treated will not flow back into the line supplying the water. Use check valves if necessary. RETENTION PERIOD A. Treated water shall be retained in the pipeline long enough to destroy all nonspore-forming bacteria. With proper flushing and the specified solution strength, 24 hours is adequate. At the end of the retention period, the disinfecting mixture shall have a strength of at least 10 ppm of chlorine. FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main Section 15001-9 B. Operate all valves, hydrants, and other appurtenances during disinfection to assure that the disinfecting mixture is dispersed into all parts of the line, including dead ends, new services, and similar areas that otherwise may not receive the disinfection solution. C. Do not place concentrated quantities of commercial disinfectants in the line before it is filled with water. D. After chlorination, flush the water from the permanent source of supply until the water through the line is equal chemically and bacteriologically to the permanent source of supply. 3.28 3.29 3.30 3.31 DISPOSAL OF DISINFECTING WATER A.

Requirements to Extend Water Service: All new development of any kind shall be required to extend water services to that development at the owner's expense. Water service shall include providing adequate domestic water flows as well as fire protection with hydrants spaced in accordance with the local and state fire codes. On subdivision or large scale development water systems, water lines shall be extended through all the development to the property line so that future development(s) can tie on without disrupting the service to or property of any existing customers or owners. Dead end lines shall be avoided whenever possible. At the discretion of the City Engineer, water line extensions maybe required off the development to loop with the existing water distribution system. Construction of such extensions shall be at the expense of the developer. At other locations easements may be required to facilitate future extension of lines to adjacent properties. The requirements to extend water service and provide lines adequate for both domestic and fire demands shall apply to all subdivisions regardless of whether they are inside the City Limits or not. Where subdivisions are outside the City Limits, the placement of fire hydrants shall be optional and in no case shall hydrants be installed outside the City unless a) a fire flow of at least 500 gallons per minute can be obtained at the hydrant, and b) the residents being served by the hydrant have a contract for fire protection with the City of Fayetteville and/or with a Washington County Rural Fire Department having a mutual aid agreement with the Fayetteville Fire Department. 2. Minimum Size of Water Lines: The minimum sized line that may be installed in connection with a subdivision is Six (6) inch. This is required even if the line is being extended from an existing line that is smaller than Six (6) inches. Two (2) inch lines may be approved for cul-de-sacs provided the line could not be reasonably extended in the future to provide service to adjacent property and where a larger line is not needed to provide either fire protection or adequate domestic flows. Eight (8) inch lines shall be required where needed to maintain or to create an Eight (8) inch water line grid at a spacing of about 1/4 of a mile in both the north -south and east -west direction. A spacing of less than 1/4 mile may by required to accommodate domestic or fire demands. Lines larger than eight (8) inches will be required as recommended by the latest Water System Study. The minimum line size requirement for the provision of fire protection shall be a looped 6 -inch line or, in the event of a dead end line, an 8 -inch. This minimum requirement shall apply regardless of the theoretical flow capacities existing in the system. Even where a 6 -inch loop may be attained, the Part A, General City Engineer may require the installation of an 8 -inch line in certain locations where loops are long and where large developments are involved. Lines larger than 8 -inch may be required if they are needed to provide domestic and fire flow demands for a development. 3. City Participation in Water Line Costs: In cases where the City desires to have a larger sized water line in place than is required under Part 1, Paragraph 2 of these Specifications, the City may enter into an agreement with the developer to provide for the construction of the larger sized line. In that event, the City shall be responsible for the difference in material and installation cost between the size line required for the developer and the size line desired by the City. The City shall not be responsible for any engineering cost associated with the up -sizing unless the larger size line is more than 12 -inches in diameter. The City shall not participate in the cost of an 8 -inch or smaller line, except that the City may consider participating in the cost of smaller lines when a small number of customers are involved in a non -development situation. The cost involved in up -sizing shall be determined by the developer's engineer by the taking of bids, and shall be approved by the City Engineer and by the City Council and/or Mayor. Pre-existing system hardware, (manholes, hydrants, valve boxes, etc.) are at their established grade. If a developer, home builder or home owner wants the grade to be changed, this must be done at the requester's expense. 4. Easements: For water lines that are up to 10 feet deep, easements shall be at least 20 feet in width with the water line in the center of the easement. For water lines that are greater than 10 feet deep, easements shall be 1 foot per foot of depth to the bottom of the pipe on each side of the water line.

PIPE LAYING: All water pipe shall be laid and tested in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. For ductile iron pipe, ANSI/AWWA C600-99 or latest revision shall apply. For PVC pipe, either AWWA C605-94 or ASTM D-2774 or the latest revisions thereof shall apply. A ten (10) foot separation shall be maintained between water lines and sewer lines where those lines run approximately parallel to each other. Water mains which cross sewers shall be laid so that the bottom of the water line will be at least 18 inches above the top of the sewer line. At all crossings, the water line pipe shall be adjusted to provide one full length of water line pipe over the sewer line with both joints located as far as possible from the sewer line. If this distance must unavoidably be reduced, the water line or the sewer line must be encased in a watertight pipe with sealed watertight ends extending at least ten feet either side of the crossing. The encasement may be vented to the surface if carrying water or sewer under pressure. Where a water line must unavoidably pass beneath the sewer line, at least 18 inches of separation must be maintained between the outside of the two pipes in addition to the preceding encasement requirement. Exceptions to this must be approved in writing by the Arkansas Department of Health. Care shall be taken not to exceed the manufacturer's recommendations on the degree of deflection allowed per joint of pipe. A pipe bend shall be installed where necessary to maintain conformance to those recommendations. Pipe, regardless of type, shall be laid on 6 inches of bedding material (see Part B, Paragraph 5) and shall be covered to a depth of 6" over the top of the pipe with the same material. The bedding shall be hand tamped in the ditch prior to pipe installation and shall be hand tamped around and over the pipe. Reaction backing shall be installed at all points of unbalanced pressure. Required area of undisturbed soil for backing purposes shall be calculated based on the bearing strength of the soil (2000 pounds/ ft2 maximum allowable unless proven otherwise by soil tests) and on a working pressure of 200 psi. Calculations shall take into account pressures due to water hammer. Sufficient concrete shall be used to properly transfer load from the fitting to the undisturbed soil in a uniform manner and without exceeding the strength of the concrete. The fitting shall be wrapped with 8 mil polyethylene prior to pouring the concrete. Concrete shall not extend over or around the fitting joints. All bends, tees, etc. shall remain open until inspected by the City. The transition from 6 -inch pipe to 2 -inch pipe shall be by means of a tapped 2 -inch plug. All valves, bends, hydrant shoes and fittings (including in -line valves) shall have Part C, Construction Methods 18 Megalug style retainer glands or approved equal.

For all -thread attachments, eye -bolt style attachments are not acceptable. Romac "Ductile Lug" style attachments or approved equal shall be used. All -threads shall be made of 316 stainless steel. Fire hydrant valves shall be positively connected to the water main. If the hydrant leg is greater than 50 feet, an additional valve shall be placed near the hydrant, between five and ten feet from the hydrant. Like all valves, this valve shall be retained. Ninety degree (90°) bends shall only be used on a by -exception basis, and must each be specifically approved by the City. Forty-five degree (45°) bends shall be used in locations where 90° bends would otherwise be considered. Where ductile iron pipe is being laid, polyethylene encasement shall be installed in accordance with ANSI/AWWA C105, latest revision, for either Method A, B or C installation. The encasement shall be provided for all fittings and all other buried iron appurtenances. The encasement shall be protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent deterioration of the polyethylene film. All ductile iron, brass, cast iron or stainless steel pipe, fittings and/or adapters shall have polyethylene encasement. Pipe detection tape shall be provided in all trenches for water line construction. Installation shall be per manufacturer's recommendations and shall be as close as practical to finished grade while maintaining a required minimum of 18 inches between the detection tape and the top of any pipe line. A trace wire shall be laid adjacent in all trenches and shall be looped around the pipe at least once per joint and connected to all valves and fittings. The trace wire shall provide a continuous electrical circuit, and shall have splices that are 3M DBY-6 connectors or approved equal. At valves and meter box settings, the trace wire shall be brought up into the valve or meter box as indicated in the standard details such that the water line can be traced from the meter/valve box. A tracing test shall be required prior to final acceptance. Maximum pipe cover shall be 60 inches under normal conditions. Cover greater than 60 inches shall be allowed for short distances where required by field conditions. No hydrants shall be allowed where lines are greater than 60 inches deep. Minimum pipe cover shall be 36 inches. Cover shall be measured from the top of the pipe barrel and shall be further defined as: a) Land Level Normal to the Direction of the Pipeline: Cover shall be measured from the top of the barrel of the pipe to the top of the existing natural ground surface. Part C, Construction Methods 19 b) Cut Sections: Cover shall be required and shall be measured from the top of the pipe barrel to the planned grade. c) Fill Sections: Cover shall be measured from the top of the pipe barrel to the natural ground surface underlying the fill unless fill material is placed and properly compacted prior to laying the water line. d) Along and Under Streets: The Cover along streets shall be measured either from natural ground or the curb elevation, whichever results in the lowest absolute elevation of the pipe. Cover under streets shall be measured from the top of the subgrade. Minimum depth for service lines from the main to the meter box shall be 30 inches below the curb line. Copper service lines shall be wrapped with polyethylene. Calls for valves to be operated must be arranged prior to 10:00 a.m. one business day previous to the desired date of operation. After completion of construction of all water lines or sections thereof, the Contractor shall flush, test and disinfect the new water lines and in accordance with the Engineer of Record's plan as described below. a) Flushing: The Contractor shall fill and flush the newly constructed lines and visually check all combination air release and vacuum valves, blow -off valve assemblies, line valves, and fire hydrants to assure proper operation. Reasonable amounts of water for flushing, testing and disinfecting water lines will be supplied by the City. The work shall be coordinated to ensure that it will not be carried on during periods of high water usage. Water valves or other appurtenances on the existing water system, new tapping valves, or valves or appurtenances that have been accepted by the City, shall only be operated by, or under the direct personal supervision of, the City of Fayetteville Water & Sewer Maintenance Division. Specific permission shall be obtained from the City Water & Sewer Maintenance Superintendent for any other persons to operate City valves or appurtenances. The Engineer of Record shall develop a flushing plan to ensure that all lines are properly flushed. The plan should specify the sequence in which valves and hydrants are to be opened and the duration thereof, ensuring complete flushing and protecting the City's water system from construction contaminated water. The volume to be flushed shall be no less than three but no more than five times the volume of the main to be flushed, and shall be metered through a fire hydrant meter. The flow shall be such that a flushing velocity of not less than 2.5 feet per second and preferably 3.5 feet per second or greater is attained. b) Hydrostatic Testing: All pipe shall be tested as set out in AWWA C600, latest Part C, Construction Methods 20 revision. Tests will be conducted only after the line is completed, including all taps and meter settings as required and the backfill completed. These tests shall be performed by the Contractor in the presence of the City Inspectors and the Engineer of Record. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary pressure gauges, meters, and pumps and make all taps and connections. Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water and the specified test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Before applying the test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe by permanent taps or corporation cocks where necessary. Test pressure shall be either 150 percent of the static pressure or 200 psi, whichever is greater. The developer shall provide all pumps or other equipment necessary to maintain the test pressure within ±5 psi at the test point for a period of two hours. Fire hydrant valves shall be open during the pressure test. c} Leakage: The leakage test shall be conducted concurrently with the pressure test. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water that must be supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, to maintain pressure within 5 psi of the above specified test pressure after the air in the pipeline has been expelled and the pipe has been filled with water. The leakage for water pipe shall be within the limits set out in AWWA C600, latest revision. No pipe installation will be accepted until the leakage is less than the number of gallons per hour as determined by the formula: L = allowable leakage, in gallons per hour; S = length of pipe tested in feet; D = nominal diameter of the pipe, in inches; and P = average test pressure (psi). Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that specified, the leak(s) shall be located and repaired and the line shall be re -tested. All visible leaks shall be repaired regardless of the amount of leakage. Part C, Construction Methods 21 A minimum of 10 percent of meter tails shall be tested for leakage as deemed appropriate by the City Inspector or Engineer of Record. The test shall be conducted by the Contractor in the presence of the City Inspectors and the Engineer of Record prior to final inspection. The procedure for the test shall be as follows. 1. Select the meter tails to be tested 2. Install a ball valve at the end of the meter tail 3. Install a jumper in the meter yoke 4. Open the meter yoke valve 5. Visually inspect for leaks 6. Close the meter yoke valve 7. Remove the jumper from the meter yoke 8. Remove the ball valve from the end of the meter tail All leaks shall be located and repaired, and the test repeated. If leaks are found, the City Inspector, City Engineer or Engineer of Record may require an additional number of meter tails to be tested. d)_ Disinfection: After successful pressure testing, the line(s) shall be flushed at a velocity equal to or greater than 2.5 feet per second. The line shall then be disinfected in accordance with AWWA C65 1, latest revision, for "Disinfecting Water Mains," continuous feed method, except that the placing of hypochlorite granules into the main during construction will not be permitted. The contractor shall take great care when flushing the line to assure proper drainage is available to prevent harm at any adjacent downstream location. Disposal of the disinfecting water shall be in a manner that will protect the public and the receiving waters from harmful concentrations of chlorine. Such disposal shall be in accordance with all applicable EPA and ADEQ regulations. After disinfection is complete, the Contractor shall then flush the disinfecting solution from the lines, and the treated water lines will then be placed into service. Bacteriological samples shall be taken by City personnel only. Samples shall be taken on two consecutive days and shall be taken only on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Before a line is placed in service, two consecutive series of samples which are not collected on the same day and are taken no more than 14 days apart must show that the water is bacteriologically safe for drinking purposes. Water lines that dead end shall have a blow -off assembly located on the last joint of pipe as shown on the water line detail sheet. The last joint shall be blocked. Valves on dead end lines shall be placed on the next to last joint if possible and shall be restrained. Part C, Construction Methods 22 2. Pipe Trench, Excavation: The trench shall be excavated to at least 6 inches below the grade necessary to provide the minimum cover required. Minimum trench width shall be either 18 inches or the outside diameter of the pipe at the bell plus 12 inches. Maximum trench width shall be the outside diameter of the pipe plus 2 feet. Where the bottom of the trench at subgrade is found to be unstable or to include ashes, cinders, any type of refuse, vegetable or other organic materials, or large pieces of fragments of inorganic material which in the judgment of the Engineer should be removed, the trench shall be excavated and such material removed to the width and depth ordered by the Engineer. Before the pipe is laid the subgrade shall be made by backfilling with bedding material (Part B, Paragraph 5) in 6 inch uncompacted layers. The layers shall then be hand or machine tamped so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe at all points along the pipe length. The sides of any excavation, when deemed necessary or as required by State or Federal regulation, shall be properly supported with bracing, shoring or sheeting as the need may be. Such bracing and shoring shall be withdrawn as the work progresses. In case the excavation is close enough to buildings or other foundations as to endanger their stability by the removing of such bracing, then they shall be made secure and left in place, and the water line trench backfilled and thoroughly tamped with the bracing in place. The Contractor shall provide sufficient pumps and other necessary equipment to keep the trench free of water which may accumulate. If the bottom of the trench becomes soft and muddy, the Contractor shall remove all such soft material and replace it with bedding materials approved in Part B of these specifications. Under no conditions shall pipe be laid in a trench that has not been properly dewatered. The length of trench that may be opened ahead of the pipe laying operation shall be determined by field conditions. The contractor is responsible for the proper restoration of open trenches damaged by the weather or by other means. If, because of such trench damage, a different type of pipe bedding system is required to provide proper pipe support, the extra expense of such revised bedding shall be borne by the contractor at no cost to the City. 3. Pine Trench, Backfill: After the pipe bedding has been placed (including up through 6" above the pipe), the trench, excavated areas around valves, fittings, fire hydrants, and other appurtenances shall be backfilled with excavated material free from rock larger than 6 inches within I 8" of the top of the bedding and 8" in diameter thereafter. In no case shall rock material from blasting operations be allowed in the trench. Part C, Construction Methods 23 All pipeline trench backfill shall be placed in layers of appropriate thickness and compacted using a mechanical, hydraulically -powered vibratory trench compactor or other equivalent equipment. Heavy compaction equipment shall not be used closer than 2 feet to the top of the pipe. Any backfill failing to meet the compaction requirements set out below shall be replaced and/or recompacted to meet the compaction specifications. All trench backfill (except under paved or driving surface areas as detailed below) shall be compacted to 90 percent (minimum) of that of the adjacent undisturbed soil. Unless specifically noted on the Plans, no density testing will be required to prove compliance with the 90 percent density requirement. In areas where the trench is parallel to or crosses any paved area or driving surface including streets, parking lots, future or planned streets, or driveways, the backfill shall be crushed stone as specified in Section 300 CRUSHED STONE BASE (AHTD Class 7). The Crushed stone trench backfill (aggregate base course, Class 7) shall be placed in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compacted to 95 percent modified Proctor density (ASTM D1557-78). Red clay gravel or "hillside" may be used as a backfill material in areas described in the above paragraph when specifically approved by the City Engineer and compacted in 6 to 8 inch lifts to 95 percent of standard proctor. One density test per crossing shall be required. Where the trench runs parallel to the driving or paved surface one density test shall be required per 500 feet or portion thereof. An additional test will be made for each test failure at approximately 100 feet either side of failing test. In areas to be topsoiled, the density of the backfill material shall be tested at a depth of 12 to 18 inches below the finished grade prior to the placement of the topsoil. In open fields and other areas where deemed appropriate, the trench may be overfilled and allowed to settle prior to final surface replacement. Trenches may be flooded to promote settlement in areas where it is deemed appropriate. 4. Installation of Meter Box Settings: Meter box settings shall be located at the street right of way or easement line. Double meter boxes shall be placed on the property line between the two lots to be served. The final grade at the meter box location shall be determined by the Engineer of Record and the meter box shall be placed at that grade. Final grade should take into account probable future installation of topsoil and/or sod. Up to the time of final acceptance by the City, it shall be the responsibility of the Owner to make whatever adjustments to meter boxes that might be necessary. After final acceptance by the City any adjustment of meter boxes needed will be handled in accordance with existing or future City Ordinances that may govern the situation. Part C, Construction Methods 24 No meters shall be set by the City until the meter box is adjusted to the proper grade. Any boxes falling in driveways or sidewalks shall be relocated at the expense of the developer or lot owner. It shall be the responsibility of the Engineer of Record to place meter box locations on the Record Drawings and to mark them in the field. The Record Drawings shall indicate from where each lot is to receive water service. 5. Valve and Valve Box Installation: Gate and butterfly valves shall be installed in accordance with AWWA C605, latest revision, and with either AWWA C504 or AWWA C509, as applicable, latest revisions, the manufacturer's recommendations, and these Specifications. Prior to installation, all valves shall be visually inspected for defects, and any foreign material in the valve interior removed. Special attention shall be given when installing butterfly valves on AWWA C900 or C905 PVC pipe. Due to the thickness of this pipe, it must be trimmed where it enters the valve so that the valve gate can either fully open (if installed in the closed position) or close (if installed in the open position). A valve box as specified shall be provided for each valve used in a buried service application. The valve box shall be installed so as not to transmit shock or stress to the valve. The valve box shall be centered and plumb over the operating nut of the valve with the box cover flush with the surface of the finished surface. The valve box shall be backfilled evenly around its perimeter with select material. The backfill material shall be tamped so that the ground will not settle after placement of the concrete collar. All valve box lids shall have a concrete collar placed around them. The collar shall be 18 inch square centered on the valve box lid and shall be 6 inches thick cast -in -place, except that on flat surfaces a round precast collar may be used. The top of the pad shall be flush with the top of the box and the surrounding ground or roadway surface. Valve box collars shall not be constructed until every item of cleanup has been completed. Where valves are in paved areas, the specified street repair may be substituted for the concrete collar. Tracer wire shall be installed along the outside of the valve box to a point near the top of the box, where a hole will be drilled and the tracer wire inserted into the box. 6. Fire Hydrant Installation: Prior to installation, all hydrants shall be inspected for direction of opening, cleanliness of inlet elbow, handling damage, and cracks. Part C, Construction Methods 25 All hydrants shall stand plumb within a tolerance of 1/8 inch horizontally in 12 inches vertically. The nozzles shall be parallel with, or at right angles to, the street with the pumper nozzle facing the curb. Hydrants shall be set to established grade with the nozzle centerline at least 18 inches above the ground. When hydrants are placed beyond the curb, the hydrant barrel shall be set so that no portion of the pumper or hose nozzle cap will be less than 12 inches nor more than 18 inches from the outside face of the curb. When set in the lawn space between the curb and the sidewalk, or between the sidewalk and the property line, no portion of the hydrant or nozzle cap shall be within 6 inches of the sidewalk. Each hydrant shall be connected to the main with a 6 inch ductile iron pipe branch and an independent 6 inch gate valve. The 6 inch gate valve shall be positively restrained to the main by use of either a retaining lip and swivel gland for positive restraint without tie rods or by a flanged connection. Any change in grade needed to properly place the hydrant shall be accomplished by the use of an "S" fitting. Drainage shall be provided at the base of the hydrant by placing coarse gravel or crushed stone mixed with sand from the top of the reaction backing to at least 6 inches above the waste opening in the hydrant, and to a distance 3 feet around the elbow. No drainage system shall be connected to a sewer. The bowl of each hydrant shall be braced against unexcavated earth at the end of the trench with concrete reaction backing. IN NO CASE SHALL THE CONCRETE BACKING BLOCK OR IMPEDE FLOW FROM THE FIRE HYDRANT DRAIN PORTS. All fire hydrants shall be tested by the contractor and/or engineer in accordance with Chapter 4 of AWWA Manual M17, latest revision. The contractor and/or engineer shall also perform flow testing of new fire hydrants in accordance with Chapter 6 of AWWA Manual M17, latest revision, and shall paint the hydrant bonnets and nozzle caps according to the following table: Part C, Construction Methods 26 Color Flow Under Fire Conditions Light Blue z 1500 gpm Light Green 1000 - 1499 gpm Orange 500 - 999 gpm Red < 500 gpm Fire hydrant flow testing shall be coordinated with the Water and Sewer Maintenance Division. Upon completion of flow testing, the engineer shall provide to the City Water and Sewer Maintenance Division a completed "Fire Hydrant Information Sheet." 7. Blow -Off Construction: The location of the blow -offs shall generally be as detailed. The exact location as well as the orientation and length of the piping shall be determined in the field to ascertain that the vertical riser extends above natural grade. 8. Clean -.Up_ These specifications shall apply in all cases unless the landowner involved indicates to the City a willingness to waive them. However, no waiver will relieve the contractor from the requirement to refill sunken ditchlines as necessary and to control erosion from the cut areas by seeding and mulching until grass is established. Also, no waiver will relieve the contractor from the requirement to leave the site neat and free from construction debris of all kinds. Any such waiver must be submitted in writing to the City and approved by the City Engineer. There are generally three classifications of cleanup for water line construction: Class I Cleanup. Areas of construction within lawns, gardens, or other well -kept areas, including street rights of way that are kept as lawns by adjacent landowners. Class II Cleanup. Areas of construction within fields, meadows and street rights of way which are mowed or cultivated (gardens excepted). Class III Cleanup. Areas of construction that are heavily brushed or wooded, steep rocky slopes, or other areas where it is not practical for the area to be cultivated. The method of cleanup for each of the classes defined above shall be as set out below. a) Class I Cleanup_- Lawns, Gardens, Etc. The trench shall be backflled in accordance Part C, Construction Methods 27 with these Specifications. After the topsoil has been replaced to the same depth as adjacent undisturbed areas over the damaged areas, the Contractor shall proceed immediately to hand rake the entire construction area to remove all rock 1/2 inch or larger in diameter. Debris of every type shall be removed and all damaged tree limbs shall be pruned. After the area has been raked and accepted, it shall be seeded at the rate of 0.15 pounds per 100 square feet, using the following seed mixture (percent weight): Lawn Fescue 40% Blue Grass 30% Rye Grass (Annual) 30% During or after seeding is complete, all areas shall be covered with 10-20-10 fertilizer at the rate of 250 pounds per acre, or approximately one-half pound per 100 square feet. No watering will be required. However, after seeding and fertilization the entire area shall be rolled with a roller of sufficient size and weight to achieve a smooth finished surface prior to mulching. Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed shall be placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to provide a thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread. Where the existing ground cover does not contain any of the grasses as set out in the seed mixture above (Bermuda grass, Zoysia, etc.), the Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, removing stockpiling and saving the existing sod on the job site. After constructing the water line and backfilling the trench, the sod shall be replaced to a condition equal to or better than that prior to construction. In the event that insufficient sod has been stored, or sod has been lost or destroyed, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing and installing new solid sod of the existing type to complete the cleanup. b) Class II Cleanup - Fields, Meadows, Etc. The trench shall be backfilled in accordance with the Pipe Specifications. After the backfill is completed and the surface over the trench left slightly rounded, the area shall be machine raked to remove all rock to a condition equal to the existing surface on the better side of the adjacent existing right of way. All excess excavated material shall be removed from the site, including excess material which has accumulated around fence posts, trees, mailboxes, etc. All areas which have been disturbed, such as that caused by equipment tracks, shall be carefully backfilled and repaired as though it were a part of the actual trench excavation. Seeding and fertilizing of these areas is required using the seed mixture and application rates set out below (percent expressed in terms of weight). Field Fescue 40% Part C, Construction Methods 28 Rye Grass (Annual) 40% White Clover (Common) 20% After the area has been accepted, it shall be seeded at the rate of 0.15 pounds per 100 square feet. During or after seeding is complete, all areas shall be covered with 10-20-10 fertilizer at the rate of 250 pounds per acre, or about one-half pound per 100 square feet. No watering will be required. However, after seeding and fertilization the entire area shall be rolled with a roller of sufficient size and weight to achieve a smooth finished surface prior to mulching. Where the existing field grass is Bermuda, or other type not specified above, the Contractor shall place such topsoil as required, and shall seed with the existing type grass so that an equivalent ground cover will be provided. Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed shall be placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to provide a thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread. c) Class III Cleanup - Steep, Wooded or Rocky Areas. The trench shall be backfilled in accordance with the Pipe Specifications. After the trench backfill is complete, all damaged brush of every type shall be cut just below ground surface and all damaged limbs shall be trimmed. All brush and debris shall be disposed of by the Contractor and the entire area shall be machine raked so that the area of construction is in a condition equal to the existing surface on the better side of the existing adjacent right of way. The area of the trench line shall then be seeded and fertilized at the rate of 0.15 pounds per 100 square feet using the same seed mixture, fertilizer and application rates as set out under Class II cleanup, except that tall fescue (Kentucky 31) shall be used in place of field fescue. Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed shall be placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to provide a thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread. d) All Areas. All work within the construction area shall be cleaned to the satisfaction of the Owner. In general, all rocks, trash or rubbish of any nature shall be removed from the site of the work. During construction, the Contractor shall at all times keep work areas in a clean, neat and workmanlike condition. Excess pipe, excavation, brush and materials of construction shall be removed and disposed of as the work progresses. In built-up areas, including lawns, the job site shall be cleaned up immediately behind construction. Streets and driveways blocked by excess materials after basic construction is completed will not be tolerated. Part C, Construction Methods 29 If the trench should settle while the Contractor is still on the job or within two (2) years of the project completion date, the Contractor shall make the required repairs at no additional cost to the Owner in accordance with the continuing responsibility provisions of these Specifications. Failure of Contractor to make necessary repairs during the one year period will be cause for Owner to make or contract for such repairs and invoice the Contractor for all costs. e) Restoration of Damaged Surfaces and Property. Where any pavement, trees, shrubbery, fences, poles or other property and surface structures have been damaged, removed or disturbed by the Contractor, whether deliberately or through failure to carry out the requirements of the contract documents, state laws, municipal ordinances, or through failure to employ usual and reasonable safeguards, such property and surface structures shall be replaced or repaired at the expense of the Contractor. 0 Access after Construction. Unless otherwise directed, all areas shall be graded after construction so as to be accessible by four wheel drive vehicle. These clean-up specifications shall apply to on -site subdivision construction as well as off -site construction of water lines. The fact that the installation of other utilities and/or house building activities may damage such erosion control measures shall not exempt the developer from this requirement. 9. Pavement Repairs: All pavements which have been removed or damaged shall be repaired in accordance with these Specifications depending upon the type of pavement existing prior to construction. a. Asphaltic Pavement Repair. The existing pavement shall be saw -cut and removed to a point 18 inches beyond the trench line limits, and brought to grade 9 inches below the top of the existing pavement. Six inches of 3000 psi concrete shall be placed and allowed to cure. This area shall then be resurfaced by applying asphaltic cement prime coat at the rate of 0.25 gallons/square yard, followed by a minimum of 3 inches of hot -mixed, hot -laid asphaltic concrete, laid to an elevation matching the existing finished grade. The hot -mixed, hot -laid asphalt shall be compacted to 92 percent of theoretical density. One nuclear densimeter test per asphaltic patch or repair shall be performed. The asphaltic pavement repair shall be deemed acceptable by the Engineer upon a passing nuclear densimeter test at a location as directed by the Engineer. The cost of determining the compacted density shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Any unacceptable patch or repair shall be replaced and/or recompacted and retested at the Contractor's expense. Part C, Construction Methods 30 b. Concrete Pavement Repair. The existing pavement shall be saw -cut and removed to a point 18 inches beyond the trench line limits, and brought to grade 9 inches below the top of the existing pavement. Concrete (4200 psi) shall be placed to match the existing surface. Joint sealer shall be placed in the area between the repaired surface and the original surface. Unpaved Driving Surface Repair. After the trench has been backfilled as set out elsewhere in these Specifications, the surface shall be brought to the existing grade with additional crushed stone base. Where special paving surfaces exist, such as natural gravel, washed gravel, exposed aggregate, or other such special materials, then the final surfaces shall be replaced in kind except where specifically noted otherwise. 10. Barricades, Guards and Safety Provisions: To protect persons from injury and to avoid property damage, adequate barricades, construction signs, warning lights and guards as required shall be placed and maintained during the progress of the construction work and until it is safe for traffic to use the highway. All material piles, equipment and pipe which may serve as obstructions to traffic shall be enclosed by fences or barricades and shall be protected by proper lights when the visibility is poor. Execution of all necessary safety precautions is the sole responsibility of the Contractor. 11. Maintenance of Traffic and Closing of Streets: The Contractor shall carry on the work in a manner which will cause the least interruption to traffic, and may close to through travel not more than two consecutive blocks, including the cross street intersected. Where traffic must cross open trenches, the Contractor shall provide suitable bridges at street intersections and driveways. The Contractor shall post suitable signs indicating that a street is closed and necessary detour signs for a proper maintenance of traffic, Three (3) days written notice to the Mayor's office is required prior to the closing of any street. Also, it will be the contractor's responsibility to notify all emergency units (fire, police, EMS, etc.) prior to the closing or partial closing of a street. The closing of State Highways shall require approval of both the City and the State Highway and Transportation Department. Part C, Construction Methods 31 APPENDIX B Special Provisions APPENDIX B SPECIAL PROVISIONS The Standard Water Line Specifications as published by the City of Fayetteville shall govern for all water mains and appurtenances to be installed on this project, except as modified herein. 1.

FY082146 Township Street 36" Water Main APPENDIX C Water Shut Down and Boil Orders City of Fayetteville FAYETTEVILLE THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE To: Jim Beavers, City Engineer From: David Jurgens, Water/Sewer Date: 13 March, 2000 Re: Water Shut Down and Boil Orders For Contractor Work Updated 13 March 2000 The Arkansas Department of Health has changed its boil order policy: This memo, and the attached notices to customers, reflect the changes in that policy. These outline the updated procedures to be followed any time a contractor must shut down water to any customers serviced by the Fayetteville water system. Most of the changes are in the attachments and in the sampling procedures the Water/Sewer Department must follow; there are no changes in the contractor's procedures. This policy should go into effect immediately. You can easily tell if the form being used is the updated form. These all have the following line near the bottom of the notice: Letter updated 13 March, 2000. Previous cditians are obsolete_ If this line is not present, the notice is obsolete and should be discarded. First, shutting down water to any customers for a planned job shall be avoided whenever possible. All possible efforts must be made to keep water flowing to all customers. If the shut down involves hospitals, health facilities, schools, food service establishments, day care centers, industries, chicken houses, homes with special needs, and other water -critical facilities (as determined by the City), temporary water service must be provided at the contractor's or developer's expense. In the event that water must be shut off to a customer, each customer shall be notified no later than 72 hours (or three working days, whichever is longer), in advance -with a form provided by the Water and Sewer Maintenance Superintendent. A copy of this form is attached. The contractor is responsible to hand out these advance notices to each customer who will be out of service after specific coordination with the Water and Sewer Maintenance Department. Notices shall be distributed to the customers only after it is completely filled out, including the address list, and submitted to and approved by the Water/Sewer Department. The City reserves the right to establish the day and time for the water shut -down. This may include, but is not limited to, requiring that the shut -down take place at the time of minimum usage for the customers, and will frequently be late night and/or weekend work. Any costs incurred will be borne by the contractor. When possible, we would like to have the work performed no later in the week than Wednesday, so we can have the boil order results back in the same week as the work is performed. Steps of the process are as follows: 1. Identify the potential need to shut down the water. 2. Coordinate with the Water/Sewer Department to identify exactly what addresses will be impacted and what valves must be operated. Jointly ensure that all of these valves are in proper working order. 3. Meet with the following to ensure all parties are involved and fully aware of the project and what is involved. This meeting will normally be held at the City Engineer's office at least 4 working days prior to the shut down. The following must attend: the designing engineer (or his representative), the contractor, the City's engineering inspector, and a representative of the Water/Sewer Department. The designing engineer or contractor must bring with them the list of addresses to be affected. They must also have detailed plans for the work to be performed and plans for any temporary water services to be provided. Coordination must be made with each critical water user prior to this meeting. Points of contact (names and telephone numbers) for each must be on the list. 4. Deliver the notices to the Water/Sewer Department, with the address list. Confirm that the information is approved. This must be done prior to distributing the notices to the customers. 5. Hand out notices to the customers three working days in advance. Each individual address that is notified must be written down, and a copy of the list must be delivered to the Water and Sewer Department no later than two working hours prior the notices being distributed. This list should exactly match the list identified in advance, per paragraph 3, above. If apartments or other multi -dwelling structures are involved, notice must be delivered to each individual residence. Legally, notices can not be put in mailboxes. 6. Confirm with both Engineering and Water/Sewer no later than 10:00 a.n-L the day prior to the work being performed to confirm inspection and valve operation. [Engineer/Contractor]. 7. Perform the work. 8. Notify Water/Sewer when finished with job, so they can take water samples for the boil order. 9. Issue boil order releases when sample results are returned. The Water/Sewer Department will issue the releases. In some cases, the Water/Sewer Department may require the contractor provide personnel to assist in handing, out the notices. I have attached two separate notices which may have to be distributed. The first is for water pressure reduction, when no boil order will be required. The second is when a boil order will be required. The decision of which is required will be made in the meeting at. Engineering (step 3). 'Letter updated 13 Marct. 2000.

Hesse, published 3/17/99 in the Northwest Arkansas Times) "On most construction sites, existing trees are not protected and are vulnerable to the increased activity and use of equipment. Injury to the bark is very common when vehicles and equipment are present within the limits of the tree's canopy. But more commonly, the process of grading and trenching result in the greatest destruction to your trees. If you are considering terracing your yard, adding berms to create interest, or simply installing an underground irrigation system, be aware of the effects during construction.. When grading a site the existing vegetation and topsoil is usually stripped removing valuable nutrients and moisture that the roots depend on. Adding fill during the grading process will almost always smother tree roots in the soil below. Trucking or bulldozing in extra soil results in incidental soil compaction. Vehicles, construction equipment, stored supplies, and even foot traffic all cause soil compaction which cuts off oxygen the tree needs to absorb nutrients and can lead to the death of a tree. Trenching to install utilities or irrigation lines involves digging from the surface down to a prescribed depth, usually 2 feet or more below the surface of the soil. Since the majority of tree roots are concentrated in the top 3 feet of soil, trenching within the root zone of the tree inevitably severs roots. The closer the pass to the trunk of the tree, the greater the percentage of roots effected. Remember, a tree only grows between 4 and 11 major roots. The damage is further magnified by trenching equipment that rip and crush roots leaving large, traumatic wounds that are difficult to heal, and offer gapping points of entry for insects and disease. A combination of mistakes during construction can compound the stress to the tree. Assume that a couple of major roots are destroyed during trenching and a portion of absorption roots are crushed when a vehicle is allowed to pass within the dripline of the tree. The tree has the same amount of crown to feed with possibly 25% less roots needed to absorb moisture and nutrients. As a result, a portion of the crown declines which means less photosynthesis can occur further weakening the tree. With most construction activity being a detriment to existing vegetation, it is best to stay away from the existing trees or shrubs you plan to preserve. Erect fencing material around areas that you want to protect. As a general rule, it is important to stay outside of the limits of a tree's canopy. This means keeping foot traffic, truck traffic, and even the storage of supplies away from the protected area. Be sure to communicate to everyone involved in the construction process the importance of staying clear of the fenced areas. If you are serious about saving certain trees, you may reconsider the design of your improvements, so plan for this in advance. 100 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Many people consider removing the existing trees with the intent to replace them once construction is complete. Tree replacement, however, is no substitute for preserving mature, established trees that are providing shade, wildlife habitat, clean air and general human enjoyment. A tree planted within the urban setting has an average life expectancy of 10 to 35 years due partly to the polluted environment. A young tree planted today must face a long hard road before it will match the splendor of the mature tree it is replacing. Saving trees during construction may cost additional money, time and some aggravation but the value of a mature established tree will far outweigh that cost." Tree preservation is difficult to do during the construction process and the contractor must be aware of which trees are to be preserved during the bidding process. Clarity on what trees and areas are to be undisturbed are critical in preserving valuable site characteristics. Provided is a list of commonly encountered trees that are especially sensitive to construction disturbance: Paper Birch Flowering Dogwood Magnolia species Betula papyrifera Corpus florida Magnolia ssp. Redbud Beech species Crabapple Cercis canadensis Fagus spp. Ma/us ssp. Fringetree Carolina Silverbell American Hop -hornbeam Chionanthus virginicus Halesia carolina Ostrya virginiana Mockernut Hickory Witch -hazel Sourwood Carya tomentasa Hamamelis virginiana Oxydendrum arboreum Shagbark Hickory Black Walnut Spruce species Carya ovata Juglans nigra Picea ssp. Bitternut Hickory Sweetgum White Pine Carya cordiformis Liquidambar styraciflua Pinus strobus Yellow -wood Tulip Tree Black Cherry Cladrastis lutea Liriodendron tulipifera Prunus serotina White Oak Scarlet Oak Southern Red Oak Quercus alba Quercus coccinea Quercus Falcata Post Oak Slippery Elm Quercus stellata Ulmus rubra 101 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Pre Construction Preventive measures are very helpful in protecting trees through the construction process. Awareness of what trees are going to be preserved and their preconstruction condition will give the caretaker better knowledge of how to protect the tree during construction and what measures to take after construction. For that reason a pre construction survey is needed; a tree survey will provide the basis for after construction treatment. A predevelopment survey will also identify any undesirable trees that can be removed and locate any rare or important trees that need extra care. The more detailed the initial analysis, the better a person can manage the actions that need to be taken before, during, and after construction. One of the best ways to manage existing trees in construction is communication with the contractor. Just telling the contractor which trees need to be saved is only the beginning. The developer or owner needs to communicate why certain construction practices are detrimental and periodically monitor progress to insure existing trees are not damaged. There are several practices that can be done to a tree to prepare it for the stress related to construction. Construction of a tree protection fence (See full page detail on pg. 107) The single most important element in protecting trees. The fence should extend at least to the edge of the drip line, farther if possible Plan view Spreading of mulch or gravel A 12" layer of mulch or a 6" layer of gravel can reduce compaction up to 4" in depth. A temporary bridge can be implemented to further reduce compaction (See full page detail on pg. 109) Reduce mulch to 4" after construction complete 102 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Pruning The removal of limbs that could be an obstruction to equipment should be removed. For safety and to prevent further damage to the tree, any dead limbs should also be removed. Irrigation Probably the most important preventive measure is irrigation. Previously water stressed trees have a poorer chance of survival than a well - watered, healthy tree. Irrigation should be carried out in normal fashion, wetting entire root zone to a depth of 2' to 3'. On sites that generate excessive dust due to construction, the leaves of the trees must be sprayed with water to prevent dust from clogging pores of the leaves. Fertilization Supplemental nutrients can be applied to trees that exhibit weak, scraggly crowns and overall poor performance. The only time fertilization is beneficial is the season before construction is scheduled to begin. Construction of a fill/ aeration system (See full page detail on pg.108) This system allows for gas exchange between roots and the atmosphere, otherwise not possible when soil is compacted and/or paving is applied. z. ir y l�Rlr g min. 1� wall with no r,' E-isling Grade Finish Grade footing 1 ' 1 Screened vent cop Crushed stone �� � Grain to dayttght 4" perforated pipe min �- wrapped in geolewtile Sobric Width of tree crown or larger The following attached table was taken from Trees and DevelopmentA Technical Guide to Preservation of Trees During Land Development titled Major construction impacts, construction activities, and methods to minimize tree damage. 103 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Impacts to tree Construction activity Methods/Treatments to minimize damage Root loss Stripping site of organic surface •Restrict stripping of topsoil soil before grading; clearing around trees unwanted vegetation; demolishing •Install fences to protect existing structures trees from injury • Any woody vegetation should be cut level with ground and not pulled up by roots Lowering grade, scarifying, Before grading, root prune preparing subgrade for fill and tree at edge of excavation to structures depth required • Soil beyond cut face can be removed by equipment sitting outside of dripline • Use retaining walls with discontinuous footings to increase the distance that natural grade is maintained Preparing subgrade for pavement •Use paving section requiring a minimum amount of excavation • Minimize thickness of pavement by directing heavy traffic away from trees • Increase strength of pavement to reduce reliance on subgrade for strength Excavation for footings, walls, • Avoid continuous footings foundations adjacent to trees • Use pier foundations with beams above grade instead of slab • Orient piers to avoid major roots • Excavate by hand, bridging roots where possible • Where roots must be removed, cut cleanly with appropriate tools, saw, not backhoe or trencher Trenching for utilities, drains •Avoid open trenching in root area 104 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Impacts to Construction activity Methods/Treatments to tree minimize damage • Tunnel under roots, if possible. If not, dig by hand bridging roots greater than 1 "diameter • Consolidate utilities in one trench Wounding Injury from equipment •Fence tree to enclose low crown of tree branches and protect trunk • Clean up wounds up as soon as possible Creating clearance for building, •Prune to minimum height traffic, construction equipment required prior to construction • Consider minimum height requirements of construction equipment and emergency vehicles over road • All pruning should be done by a Certified Arborist Unfavorable Compacted surface soils Fence trees to keep traffic and conditions for storage out of root area root growth; • Provide a storage yard and chronic stress traffic areas for construction from reduced activity well away from trees root system • Where traffic cannot be diverted, protect soil surface with thick mulch or steel plates Spills, waste disposal •Fence trees to exclude dumping • Clean up accidental spills immediately Soil sterilants (herbicides) applied Use herbicides safe for use over pavement around trees. Adhere to label requirements Impervious pavement over soil Minimize use of pavement within surface dripline Inadequate soil Rechannelization of stream flow; Consider system to allow low moisture redirecting runoff; lowering water flow through normal stream table; lowering grade alignments and provide bypass into storm drains to peak flow • Provide supplemental irrigation in similar volumes and seasonal distribution as would normally occur 105 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Impacts to tree Excess soil moisture Increased exposure 106 Construction activity Underground flow backup; raising water table Lack of surface drainage away from tree Irrigation of exotic plants Thinning stands, removal of undergrowth Reflected heat from surrounding hard surfaces Pruning Methods/Treatments to minimize damage • Fills placed across drainage courses must have culverts placed at the bottom of the low flow so that water is not backed up upstream • Study the geotechnical report for ground water characteristics to see that walls and fiils will not intercept underground flow Where surface grades are to be modified, make sure that water will flow away from the trunk. If tree is in low point, design drain system with least impact to roots • Match irrigation requirements of tree and understory landscape to avoid over irrigation • Retain forest trees in groves rather than singly • Maintain natural undergrowth • Minimize use of hard surfaces around trees. Monitor moisture needs where water use is expected to increase • Avoid severe pruning where previously shaded bark would be exposed to sun. City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual 0 000 S. —l—.w..

City of Fayetteville Standard Notes For Tree and Natural Area Protection 1. All trees and natural areas shown on this plan to be preserved shall be protected during construction with temporary fencing 2. Protective fences shall be erected according to City of Fayetteville standards for tree protection 3. Protective fences shall be installed prior to the start of any site preparation work and shall be maintained throughout all phases of the construction project 4. Erosion and sedimentation control barriers shalt be installed or maintained in a manner which does not result in soil build-up within tree driplines 5. Protective fences shall surround the trees or group of trees, and will be located at the dripline, for natural areas, protective fences shall follow the limit of construction line, in order to prevent the following; A. Soil compaction in the root zone area resulting from vehicular traffic or storage of equipment B. Root zone disturbances due to grade changes (greater than 6") or trenching not reviewed by city arborist C. wounds to exposed roots, trunk or limbs by mechanical equipment D. other activities detrimental to trees such as chemical storage, cement truck cleaning, & fires 6. Exceptions to Installing fences at tree driplines may be permitted in the following cases: A. Where there is to be an approved grade change, impermeable paving surface, tree well, or other such site development B. Where permeable paving is to be installed within a tree's dripline, erect the fence at the outer limits of the permeable paving area (prior to site grading so that this area is graded separately prior to paving installation to minimize root damage) C. Where trees are dose to proposed buildings. erect the fence to allow 6 to 10 feet of work space between the fence and the building D. Where there are severe space constraints due to tract size, or other special requirements 7. Where any of the above exceptions result in a fence being closer than 4 feet toe tree trunk, protect the trunk with strapped on planking to a height o(8 feet ( or limits of lower branching) in addition to the reduced fencing provided 8. Trees approved for removal shall be removed in a manner which does not impact trees to be preserved 9. Any roots exposed by construction activity shall be pruned flush with the soil. Backfill root areas with good quality top soil as soon as possible. If exposed root areas are not backfilled within 2 days, cover them with organic material in a manner which reduces soil temperature and minimizes water loss due to evaporation 10. Any trenching required for the Installation of landscape irrigation shall be placed as far from existing tree trunks as possible 11. No landscape topsoil dressing greater than 4 inches shall be permitted within the dripline of trees. No soil is permitted on the root flare of any tree 12. Pruning to provide clearance for structures, vehicular traffic, and equipment shall take place before construction begins 13. All finished pruning must be done according to recognized, approved standards of the industry (reference the National Arborisl Association Pruning Standards for Shade Trees available upon request from the city arborist) 14. Deviations from the above notes may be considered ordinance violations if there is substantial non-compliance or if a tree sustains damage as a result 107 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Ir air ! 8 min.

If possible, collect the preconstruction survey about the health and existing physical conditions of the preserved trees; the preconstruction survey will help in determining the impacts of construction and what treatments should be done. If no previous analysis is available, a survey of the changed site conditions, condition of trees, and the possible long term results would be beneficial. There are a few key characteristics of trees and their surroundings that need to be taken into consideration: the tree's structural stability, health, and affected soil conditions. Typical signs of tree injury from construction • Branch dieback • Wounds from equipment • Attack from borers and other pests • Small leaves • Leaf scorch • Leaf wilt • Early fall defoliation and coloration • Heavy seeding Once the problem that is causing unwanted stress on preserved trees is identified, maintenance can be executed. Sadly there is little a homeowner, or even an arborist, can do once major damage has been inflicted. Common practices to reduce construction stress are as follows: • Irrigation • Pruning • Mulching • Fill soil removal • Pest management • Fertilization • Tree removal The most common problem in construction impact is soil compaction. This subject deserves further explanation because of the variety in methods used to reverse compaction's negative effects on trees. Soil that is compacted prevents aeration, permeability, and nutrient absorption. Several processes are highlighted in better detail in Trees and Development by Matheny and Clark. Most of the processes to help trees should be carried out by a licensed arborist, not by the contractor. See the appendix on contacts to locate a qualified person. 110 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Growth regulators application of chemicals (moderate results) Vertical mulching drilling 2" holes 18"-24" deep and backfilling with a porous material (moderate results) 1i F(F� O FO O Sig �F F O b O O� a -FlF O a O *o O OR O O 0tl # ) O i E O O Radial trenching First identify location of anchor roots, trench between them and backfill (best results) 111 City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Utility Lines and Trees Underground utility lines are another threat to existing trees during the various phases of construction. For trees to survive, special planning about utility line routes and placement must occur. Instead of straight paths for utility lines that devastate tree root systems, curved paths can be implemented to avoid root and utility conflicts. The example shows evidence of tree preservation in the design of the structures, but no planning was considered when routing the utility lines. When other obstacles prevent the maneuvering of utilities around trees, boring equipment can allow utility lines to pass under the critical areas of a tree's root system. A tree's ability to absorb vital nutrients and water are strictly dependant on its root system; the cutting of any major roots applies stress that can often lead to death. It is imperative that to preserve on site trees careful attention must be exercised where disturbance is going to occur. off° o o am a Utility line placed I'I[ Utility fine placed with borer III with trencher Root system is protected by boring.

Controls must be in place down slope of site disturbing activities prior to the commencement of construction and noted on the Site Map and Record of Stabilization and Construction Activity Dates. II. INTRODUCTION This SWPPP has been prepared for major activities associated with construction of: City of Fayetteville, 36" Water Main - Fayetteville, AR This SWPPP, including the applicable General Permit, includes the elements necessary to comply with the national General Permit for construction activities administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and all local governing agency requirements. This SWPPP must be implemented at the start of construction. Construction phase pollutant sources anticipated at the site are disturbed (bare) soil, vehicle fuels and lubricants, chemicals associated with building construction, construction -generated litter and debris, and building materials. Without adequate control there is the potential for each type of pollutant to be transported by storm water. This project involves the improvements to water distribution system for the City of Fayetteville. The project is located in the city limits of Fayetteville, Arkansas. This project involves the improvements to water distribution system for the City of Fayetteville. A major goal of pollution prevention efforts during project construction is to control soil and pollutants that originate on the site and prevent them from flowing to surface waters. The purpose of this SWPPP is to provide guidelines for achieving that goal. A successful pollution prevention program also relies upon careful inspection and adjustments during the construction process in order to enhance its effectiveness. A. Scope This SWPPP must be implemented before construction begins on the site. It primarily addresses the impact of storm rainfall and runoff on areas of the ground surface disturbed during the construction process. In addition, there are recommendations for controlling other sources of pollution that could accompany the major construction activities. This SWPPP will terminate when disturbed areas are stabilized, permanent erosion and sedimentation controls installed, temporary erosion and sedimentation controls removed, construction activities covered herein have ceased, and a completed Notice of Termination (NOT). Forms which are necessary for implementing the SWPPP are included herein. The national General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities prohibits most non -storm water discharges during the construction phase. Allowable non -storm water discharges that could occur during construction on this project, which would therefore be covered by the General Permit, include: Discharges from fire fighting activities; 2. Fire hydrant flushing; Water used to wash vehicles (where detergents are not used) or control dust; 4. Potable water sources including uncontaminated water line flushing; Routine external building wash down which does not use detergents; 6. Runoff from pavement wash down where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not occurred (unless all spilled material has been removed) and where detergents have not been used; 7. Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate; 8. Uncontaminated springs and groundwater; 9. Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as solvents; and 10. Uncontaminated excavation dewatering. Best Management Practices must be implemented for the above allowable foreseeable discharges for the duration of the permit. Each non -storm water discharge should be noted in the SWPPP and weekly inspection with the exception of discharges from fire fighting activities. The techniques described in this SWPPP focus on providing control of pollutant discharges with practical approaches that utilize readily available expertise, materials, and equipment. The Operator/Owner referred to in this SWPPP is City of Faytteville. The General Contractor shall construct the site development improvements while working under contract with the Operator/Owner. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Described below are the major construction activities that are the subject of this SWPPP. They are presented in the order (or sequence) they are expected to begin, but each activity will not necessarily be completed before the next begins. Also, these activities could occur in a different order if necessary to maintain adequate erosion and sedimentation control. All activities and the timeframe (beginning and ending dates) shall be noted on the Site Map and Record of Stabilization and Construction Activity Dates: A. Install erosion control measures B. Excavation and trench preparation for waterlines; C. Sediment barriers shall be utilized as required to bound the down slope side of utility construction and soil stockpiles; D. Final Grading - Sediment barriers shall be maintained down slope from disturbed soil during this operation; E. Completion of on -site stabilization. The actual schedule for implementing pollutant control measures will be determined by project construction progress. Down slope protective measures must always be in place before soil is disturbed. IV. SITE DESCRIPTION Included as part of this SWPPP are the project Construction Drawings- Grading / Erosion Control Plans. Please refer to the Construction Drawings for detailed site information. A. Site Location -- The project is located in the city limits of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The disturbed area will be approximately 3 acres in size. Located on Township Street in the City of Fayetteville., approximately at latitude 36°5'40" North and longitude 94°8' 10" West. The runoff flows from said site to Unnamed tributaries to Mud Creek, Greathouse Spring, thence the Arkansas River. A Vicinty Map is Included in Appendix A. B. Site Topography — The development site falls into one drainage basin. Runoff from the drainage basin drains to Unnamed tributaries to Mud Creek, Greathouse Spring, thence the Arkansas River. C. Rainfall Information — The average rainfall for this area is 3.675 inches per month. The lowest rainfall month is January at approximately 1.8 inches and the highest month is May at approximately 5 inches. The total annual average rainfall is 44.1 inches. D. Site Soils — The surficial stratum soils are generally Enders gravelly fine sandy loam, 8 to 20 percent slopes; Spadra fine sandy loam, occasionally flooded; water. E. Total Disturbed Area — The entire site contains 3 acres and the area to be disturbed by grading is anticipated to be approximately 3 acres. Pre -Construction Runoff Coefficient (Rational Method): "C" w 0.75 Post -Construction Runoff Coefficient (Rational Method): "C" = 0.75 F. Quality of Receiving Surface Waters and Wetlands -- The project area coressponds within the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Please see Appendix J for permit letter. G. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan — Please refer to the grading and erosion control plans in Appendix B. The details are on the detail sheets. H. Threatened and Endangered Species — The storm water discharges and the construction and implementation of BMPs to control storm water runoff are not likely to adversely affect species or critical habitat for a listed species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was contacted at telephone number (501) 513-4470 to obtain this information. Please see Appendix J for permit letter. I. Historic Properties — Please See Appendix J for review letter from the Department of The runoff flows from said site and flows to Unnamed tributaries to Mud Creek, Greathouse Spring, thence the Arkansas River. The ultimate receiving water of the storm runoff is the Arkansas River. None of the previosly listed water bodies are not currently listed with approved TMDLs from the 303(d) list of Water Quality Limited Waterbodies. In summary, the construction site's discharge is not identified in a TMDL applicable to any of the downstream waterbodies. K. The BMPs utilized in the site development plans are considered sufficient in order to meet applicable Water Quality Standards. They were chosen and installed at various locations in order to ensure that the discharges during construction will not cause or contribute to an excursion above any applicable Water Quality Standards. V. STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION MEASURES AND CONTROLS A variety of storm water pollutant controls are recommended for this project. Some controls are intended to function temporarily and will be used as needed for pollutant control during the construction period. These include temporary sediment barriers and permanent storm retention ponds (which can also function as permanent sediment basins). For most disturbed areas, permanent stabilization will be accomplished by covering the soil with pavement, building, or vegetation. A. Erosion and Sediment Controls Soil Stabilization - The purpose of soil stabilization is to prevent soil from leaving the site. In the natural condition, soil is stabilized by native vegetation. The primary technique to be used at this project for stabilizing site soil will be to provide a protective cover of turf grass, pavement, or building. a) Temporary Seeding - Within 14 days after construction activity ceases on any particular area, all disturbed ground where there will not be construction for longer than 21 days must be seeded with fast -germinating temporary seed and protected with mulch. b) Permanent Seeding - All areas at final grade must be seeded within 14 days after completion of the major construction activity. Except for small level spots, seeded areas should generally be protected with mulch. 2. Structural Controls — During the construction, additional structural controls will be implemented such as inlet protection, rip -rap outlet protection, straw bale barriers in the ditches, seeding, sodding and landscaping. See Grading Plans and the detail sheets for the Erosion Control Details. a) Silt Fence — Silt fence is a synthetic permeable mesh fabric typically incorporating wooden support stakes at intervals sufficient to support the fence and water and sediment retained by the fence. Silt fence is also available with a wire mesh backing. The fence is designed to retain sediment -laden water to allow settlement of suspended soils before filtering through the mesh fabric for discharge downstream. Silt fence shall be located to capture overland, low -velocity sheet flows as follows: The silt fences are designed as extra protection to prevent silt from leaving the site along the east and south property lines. The maximum area directed toward the fence is approximately one acre. Install silt fence at a fairly level grade (along the contour) to provide sufficient upstream storage volume for the anticipated runoff. b) Construction Exit — All access points from the public street into the construction site shall include a construction exit composed of course stone to the dimensions shown on the Construction Drawings. The rough texture of the stone helps to remove clumps of soil adhering to construction vehicle tires through the action of vibration and jarring over the rough surface and the friction of the stone matrix against soils attached to vehicle tires. c) Storm Sewer Inlet Protection — Curb and grated inlets are protected from the intrusion of silt and sediment through a variety of measures as shown on the Construction Drawings. The primary mechanism is to place controls in the path of flow sufficient to slow sediment -laden water to allow settlement of suspended soils before discharging into the storm sewer. Controls typically provide a secondary benefit by means of filtration. Grated inlets typically include a sturdy frame wrapped in silt fence or crushed stone -lined perimeter to slow the flow of water. Curb inlets typically include crushed stone barriers held in place with silt fence material or geotextile fabric. Final site stabilization is achieved when turf grass cover provides permanent stabilization for at least 70 percent of the disturbed soil surface, exclusive of areas that have been paved. B. Other Pollutant Controls Control of sediments has been described previously. Other aspects of this SWPPP are listed below: 1. Dust Control - Construction traffic must enter and exit the site at the stabilized construction entrance. The purpose is to trap dust and mud that would otherwise be carried off -site by construction traffic. Water trucks will be used as needed during construction to reduce dust generated on the site. Dust control must be provided by the General Contractor to a degree that is in compliance with applicable local and state dust control regulations. After construction, the site will be stabilized (as described elsewhere), which will reduce the potential for dust generation.The use ofnoils or other petroleum based or toxic liquids for dust suppression is strictly prohibited. 2. Solid Waste Disposal - No solid materials, including building materials, are allowed to be discharged from the site with storm water. All solid waste, including disposable materials incidental to the major construction activities, must be collected and placed in containers. The containers will be emptied as necessary by a contract trash disposal service and hauled away from the site. Substances that have the potential for polluting surface and/or groundwater must be controlled by whatever means necessary in order to ensure that they do not discharge from the site. As an example, special care must be exercised during equipment fueling and servicing operations. If a spill occurs, it must be contained and disposed so that it will not flow from the site or enter groundwater, even if this requires removal, treatment, and disposal of soil. In this regard, potentially polluting substances should be handled in a manner consistent with the impact they represent. 3. Sanitary Facilities - All personnel involved with construction activities must comply with state and local sanitary or septic system regulations. Temporary sanitary facilities will be provided at the site throughout the construction phase. They must be utilized by all construction personnel and will be serviced by a commercial operator. 4. Water Source - Non -storm water components of site discharge must be clean water. Water used for construction which discharges from the site must originate from a public water supply or private well approved by the State Health Department. Water used for construction that does not originate from an approved public supply must not discharge from the site. It can be retained in the ponds until it infiltrates and evaporates. 5. Concrete Waste from Concrete Ready -Mix Trucks — Discharge of excess or waste concrete and/or wash water from concrete trucks will be allowed on the construction site, but only in specifically designated diked areas that have been prepared to prevent contact between the concrete and/or wash water and storm water that will be discharged from the site or in locations where waste concrete can be placed into forms to make riprap or other useful concrete products. The cured residue from the concrete washout diked areas shall be disposed in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. The jobsite superintendent is responsible for assuring that these procedures are followed. Fuel Tanks — Temporary on -site fuel tanks for construction vehicles shall meet all state and federal regulations. Tanks shall have approved spill containment with the capacity required by the applicable regulations. The tank shall be in sound condition free of rust or other damage which might compromise containment. Hoses, valves, fittings, caps, filler nozzles, and associated hardware shall be maintained in proper working condition at all times. 6. Long -Term Pollutant Controls - Storm water pollutant control measures installed during construction, which will also provide benefits after construction, include permanent wet sediment/detention ponds, rip -rap outfall structures, sod lined ditches and pond banks, pavement, grass coverage and landscaping. Those sediment barriers that do not interfere with normal operations and appear to provide long-term benefits can be left in place after construction is completed. C. Construction Phase "Best Management Practices" During the construction phase, the General Contractor shall implement the following 1. Materials resulting from the clearing and grubbing or excavation operations shall be stockpiled up slope from adequate sedimentation controls. Materials removed to an off - site location shall be protected with appropriate controls and properly permitted. The General Contractor shall designate areas for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and repair. The General Contractor and subcontractors shall utilize such designated areas. Cleaning, maintenance, and repair areas shall be protected by a temporary perimeter berm. 3. Use of detergents for large scale washing is prohibited (i.e., vehicles, buildings, pavement surfaces, etc.) 4. Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, and other toxic materials must be stored in weatherproof containers. Except during application, the contents must be kept in trucks or within storage facilities. Runoff containing such material must be collected, removed from the site, treated, and disposed at an approved solid waste or chemical disposal facility. VI. LOCAL PLANS In addition to this SWPPP, construction activities associated with this project must comply with any guidelines set forth by local regulatory agencies. The General Contractor shall maintain documents evidencing such compliance the SWPPP. VII. INSPECTIONS AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Between the time this SWPPP is implemented and final Notice of Termination has been submitted, all disturbed areas of the construction site, areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation that have not been finally stabilized and structural control measures and locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected at least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm that is 0.5 inches or greater. The purpose of site inspections is to assess performance of pollutant controls. The inspections will be conducted by qualified personnel provided by the Operator. Based on these inspections, the General Contractor will decide whether it is necessary to modify this SWPPP, add or relocate controls, or revise or implement additional Best Management Practices in order to prevent pollutants from leaving the site via storm water runoff. The General Contractor has the duty to cause pollutant control measures to be repaired, modified, maintained, supplemented, or take additional steps as necessary in order to achieve effective pollutant control. Examples of specific items to evaluate during site inspections are listed below. This list is not intended to be comprehensive. During each inspection, the inspector must evaluate overall pollutant control system performance as well as particular details of individual system components. Additional factors should be considered as appropriate to the circumstances. A. Locations where vehicles enter and exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off -site sediment tracking. A stabilized construction exit shall be constructed where vehicles enter and exit. Exits shall be maintained or supplemented as necessary to prevent the release of sediment from vehicles leaving the site. B. Inspections shall evaluate disturbed areas and areas used for storing materials that are exposed to rainfall for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system or discharging from the site. If necessary, the materials must be covered or original covers must be repaired or supplemented. Also, protective berms must be constructed, if needed, in order to contain runoff from material storage areas. C. Grassed areas shall be inspected to confirm that a healthy stand of grass is maintained. The site has achieved final stabilization once all areas are covered with building foundation or pavement, or have a stand of grass with at least 70 percent density. The density of 70 percent or greater must be maintained to be considered as stabilized. Areas must be watered, fertilized, and reseeded as needed to achieve this requirement. D. All discharge points must be inspected to determine whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing significant impacts to receiving waters. The Inspection Report Form (Appendix E) must identify all deficiencies, any corrections, whether they are identified during the current inspection or have occurred since the previous inspection, and any additional comments. For inspections following a 0.5" or higher rain event, report shall clearly note the rainfall total as measured in the on -site rain gauge. Based on inspection results, any modification necessary to increase effectiveness of this SWPPP to an acceptable level must be made within seven calendar days of the inspection. The inspection reports must be complete and additional remarks should be included if needed to fully describe a situation. An important aspect of the inspection report is the description of additional measures that need to be taken to enhance plan effectiveness. The inspection report must identify whether the site was in compliance with the SWPPP at the time of inspection and specifically identify all incidents of non- compliance. A responsible corporate officer (Vice President or higher) must sign a letter delegating the site superintendent as the authorized position for conducting the required inspections. A draft form of this authorization is included in Appendix E. Inspector's qualifications must be entered on the Inspection Report Form. Inspection reports must include an original, authorized signature and date of the inspection. Inspection reports must be retained by the General Contractor as an integral part of this SWPPP for at least five years from the date of submission of the Notice of Termination of permit coverage. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the General Contractor to assure the adequacy of site pollutant discharge controls. Actual physical site conditions or contractor practices could make it necessary to install more structural controls than are shown on the plans. (For example, localized concentrations of runoff could make it necessary to install additional sediment barriers.) Assessing the need for additional controls and implementing them or adjusting existing controls will be a continuing aspect of this SWPPP until the site achieves final stabilization.

"ADEQ" or "Department" is referencing the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality. The Department is the governing authority for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program in the state of Arkansas. 2. "Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission" shall be referred to as APCEC throughout this permit. 3. "Automatic Coverage" indicates those sites that are defined as a small construction site or a site that is less than five (5) acres but part of a larger common plan. 4. "Best Management Practices (BMPs)" schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the State. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage. According to the EPA BMP manual the use of hay -bales in concentrated flow areas is not recommended as a best management practice. 5. "Commencement of Construction" the initial disturbance of soils associated with clearing, grading, or excavating activities or other construction activities. 6. "Contaminated" means a substance the entry of which into the MS4, Waters of the State, or Waters of the United States may cause or contribute to a violation of Arkansas water quality standards. 7. "Control Measure" as used in this permit, refers to any Best Management Practice or other method used to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to waters of the State. S. "Construction Site" an area upon which one or more land disturbing construction activities occur that in total will disturb one acre or more of land, including areas that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale where multiple separate and distinct land disturbing construction activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules but under one plan such that the total disturbed area is one acre or more. 9. "CWA" the Clean Water Act or the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. 10. "Dedicated Portable Asphalt Plant" a portable asphalt plant that is located on or contiguous to a construction site that provides asphalt only to the construction site on which the plant is located or adjacent to. The term does not include facilities that are subject to the asphalt emulsion effluent guideline limitations at 40 CFR Part 443. 11. "Dedicated Portable Concrete Plant" a portable concrete plant that is located on or contiguous to a construction site and that provides concrete only to the construction site on which the plant is located on or adjacent to. 12. "Detention Basin" a detention basin is an area where excess stormwater is stored or held temporarily and then slowly drains when water levels in the receiving channel recede. In essence, the water in a detention basin is temporarily detained until additional room becomes available in the receiving channel. 13. "Director" the Director, Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, or a designated representative. 14. "Discharge" when used without qualification means the "discharge of a pollutant". 15. "Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity" as used in this permit, refers to a discharge of Page 3 of Part1 Permit No. ARR150000 pollutants in stormwater runoff from areas where soil disturbing activities (e.g., clearing, grading, or excavation), construction materials or equipment storage or maintenance (e.g., fill piles, borrow area, concrete truck washout, fueling), or other industrial stormwater directly related to the construction process (e.g., concrete or asphalt batch plants) are located. 16. "Discharge -Related Activities" as used in this permit, include: activities that cause, contribute to, or result in stormwater point source pollutant discharges, including but not limited to: excavation, site development, grading and other surface disturbance activities; management of solid waste and debris; and measures to control stormwater including the construction and operation of BMPs to control, reduce or prevent stormwater pollution. 17. "Disturbed area" the total area of the site where any construction activity is expected to disturb the ground surface. This includes any activity that could increase the rate of erosion, including, but not limited to, clearing, grubbing, grading, excavation, demolition activities, haul roads, and areas used for staging. Also included, are stockpiles of topsoil, fill material and any other stockpiles with a potential to create additional runoff. 18. "Eligible" qualified for authorization to discharge stormwater under this general permit. 19. "Erosion" the process by which the land's surface is worn away by the action of wind, water, ice or gravity. 20. "Facility" or "Activi " any NPDES "point source" or any other facility or activity (including land or appurtenances thereto) that is subject to regulation under the NPDES program. 21. "Final Stabilization": A. All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and either of the two following criteria are met: 1) A uniform (e.g., evenly distributed, without large bare areas) perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80% of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been established on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures, or 2) Equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as the use of riprap, gabions, or geotextiles) have been employed. B. When background native vegetation will cover less than 100% of the ground (e.g., arid areas, beaches), the 80% coverage criteria is adjusted as follows: if the native vegetation covers 50% of the ground, 80% of 50% (0.80 x 0.50 = 0.40) would require 40% total cover for final stabilization. On a beach with no natural vegetation, no stabilization is required. C. For individual lots in residential construction, final stabilization means that either: 1) The homebuilder has completed final stabilization as specified above, or 2) The homebuilder has established temporary stabilization including perimeter controls for an individual lot prior to occupation of the home by the homeowner and informing the homeowner of the need for, and benefits of, final stabilization. D. For construction projects on land used for agricultural purposes (e.g., pipelines across crop or range land, staging areas for highway construction, etc.), final stabilization may be accomplished by returning the disturbed land to its pre - construction agricultural use. Areas disturbed that were not previously used for agricultural activities, such as buffer Page 4 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 strips immediately adjacent to "water of the United States", and areas which are not being returned to their pre - construction agricultural use must meet the final stabilization criteria in A, B, or C above. 22. "Infrastructure" streets, drainage, curbs, utilities, etc. 23. "Impaired Water" a water body listed in the current, approved Arkansas 303(d) list. 24. "Landscaping" improving the natural beauty of a piece of land (i.e. entrance of subdivision) through plantings or altering the contours of the ground. 25. "Large and Medium Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System" all municipal separate storm sewer systems that are either: A. Located in an incorporated place with a population of 100,000 or more as determined by the latest Decennial Census by the Bureau of Census: or B. Located in the counties with unincorporated urbanized populations of 100,000 or more, except municipal, separate stone sewers that are located in the incorporated places, townships or towns within such counties; or C. Owned or operated by a municipality other than those described in paragraphs (i) or (ii) and that are designated by the Director as part of the large or medium municipal separate storm sewer system. 26. "Large Construction Site" Construction activity including clearing, grading and excavation, except operations that result in the disturbance of less than five acres of total land area. Construction activity also includes the disturbance of less than five acres of total land area that is a part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common plan will ultimately disturb five acres. (Please see Part I.B.14 for partial waivers.) 27. "Larder Common Plan of Development" a contiguous (sharing a boundary or edge; adjacent; touching) area where multiple and distinct construction activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules under one plan. Such a plan might consist of many small projects (e.g. a common plan of development for a residential subdivision might lay out the streets, house lots, and areas for parks, schools and commercial development that the developer plans to build or sell to others for development.) All these areas would remain part of the common plan of development or sale. The following items can be used as guidance for deciding what might or might not be considered a "Common Plan of Development or Sale." The "plan" in a common plan of development or sale is broadly defined as any announcement or piece of documentation (including a sign, public notice or hearing, sales pitch, advertisement, drawing, permit application, zoning request, computer design, etc.) or physical demarcation (including boundary signs, lot stakes, surveyor markings, etc.) indicating construction activities may occur on a specific plot. You must still meet the definition of operator in order to be required to get permit coverage, regardless of the acreage you personally disturb. If a smaller project (i.e., less than I acre) is part of a large common plan of development or sale (e.g., you are building a residential home on a %z acre lot in a 40 acre subdivision or are putting in a fast food restaurant on a 3/ acre pad that is part of a 20 acre retail center) permit coverage is required. Under 40 CFR 122.26(b)(2)(vi), smaller parts of a larger common plan of development are automatically authorized under this general permit and should follow the conditions of a site with automatic coverage set forth in this permit (see Part I.B.6.A). 28. "NOC" Notice of Coverage 29. "NOI" Notice of Intent to be covered by this permit. Page 5 of PartI Permit No. ARR150000 30. "NOT" Notice of Termination. 31. "Operator" for the purpose of this permit and in the context of stormwater associated with construction activity, means any person (an individual, association, partnership, corporation, municipality, state or federal agency) who has the primary management and ultimate decision -making responsibility over the operation of a facility or activity. The operator is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and conditions. In addition, for purposes of this permit and determining who is an operator, "owner" refers to the party that owns the structure being built. Ownership of the land where construction is occurring does not necessarily imply the property owner is an operator (e.g., a landowner whose property is being disturbed by construction of a gas pipeline or a landowner who allows a mining company to remove dirt, shale, clay, sand, gravel, etc. from a portion of his property). Likewise, if the erection of a structure has been contracted for, but possession of the title or lease to the land or structure is not to occur until after construction, the would-be owner may not be considered an operator (e.g., having a house built by a residential homebuilder). 32. "Outfall" a point source where stormwater leaves the construction site. 33. "Owner" the owner or operator of any "facility or activity" subject to regulation under the NPDES program. In addition, for purposes of this permit and determining who is an operator, "owner" refers to the party that owns the structure being built. Ownership of the land where construction is occurring does not necessarily imply the property owner is an operator (e.g., a landowner whose property is being disturbed by construction of a gas pipeline). Likewise, if the erection of a structure has been contracted for, but possession of the title or lease to the land or structure is not to occur until after construction, the would-be owner may not be considered an operator (e.g. having a house built by a residential homebuilder). 34. "Physically Interconnected" that one municipal separate storm sewer system is connected to a second municipal separate storm sewer system in such a way that it allows for direct discharges into the second system. 35. "Point Source" any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including but not limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding operation, landfill leachate collection system, vessel or other floating craft from which pollutants are or may be discharged. This term does not include return flows from irrigated agriculture or agricultural stormwater runoff. 36. "Qualified Local Program" is a municipal program for stormwater discharges associated with construction sites that has been formally approved by the Department. 37. "Qualified personnel" a person knowledgeable in the principles and practice of erosion and sediment controls who possesses the skills to assess conditions at the construction site that could impact stormwater quality and to assess the effectiveness of any sediment and erosion control measures selected to control the quality of stormwater discharges from the construction activity. 38. "Regulated Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System" all municipal separate storm sewer systems that are either: A. Located within the boundaries of an "urbanized area" with a population of 50,000 or more as determined by the latest Decennial Census by the Bureau of Census; or B. Owned or operated by a municipality other than those described in paragraph A and that serve a jurisdiction with a population of at least 10,000 and a population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile; or C. Owned or operated by a municipality other than those described in paragraphs A and B and that contributes substantially to the pollutant loadings of a "physically interconnected" municipal separate storm sewer system. Page 6 of Part I Permit No. ARRI 50000 39. "Retention Basin" a basin that is designed to hold the stormwater from a rain event and allow the water to infiltrate through the bottom of the basin. A retention basin also stores stormwater, but the storage of the stormwater would be on a more permanent basis. In fact, water often remains in a retention basin indefinitely, with the exception of the volume lost to evaporation and the volume absorbed into the soils. This differs greatly from a detention basin, which typically drains after the peak of the storm flow has passed, sometimes while it is still raining. 40. "Runoff Coefficient" the fraction of total rainfall that will appear at the conveyance as runoff. 41. "Sediment" material that settles to the bottom of a liquid. 42. "Sediment Basin" a basin that is designed to maintain a 10 year -24 hour storm event for a minimum of 24 -hours in order to allow sediment to settle out of the water. 43. "Small Construction Site" Construction activities including clearing, grading, and excavating that result in land disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre and less than five acres. Small construction activity also includes the disturbance of less than one acre of total land area that is part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common plan will ultimately disturb equal to or greater than one and less than five acres. Small construction activity does not include routine maintenance. 44. "Stormwater" stormwater runoff from rainfall, snow melt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage 45. "Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity" the discharge from any conveyance which is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and which is directly related to construction activity. 46. "Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP or SWP3)" a plan that includes site map(s), an identification of construction/contractor, activities that could cause pollutants in the stormwater, and a description of measures or practices to control these pollutants (BMPs). 47. "Temporary Sediment Controls" controls that are installed to control sediment runoff from the site. These could be silt fencing, rock check dams, etc. 48. "Total Maximum Daily Load" or "TMDL" the sum of the individual wasteload allocations (WLAs) for point sources and load allocations (LAs) for non -point sources and natural background. If receiving water has only one point source discharger, the TMDL is the sum of that point source WLA plus the LAs for any non -point sources of pollution and natural background sources, tributaries, or adjacent segments. TMDLs can be expressed in terms of either mass per time, toxicity, or other appropriate measure. 49. "Uncontaminated" can not exceed the water quality standards as set forth in APCEC Regulation 2. 50. "Urbanized Area" the areas of urban population density delineated by the Bureau of the Census for statistical purposes and generally consisting of the land area comprising one or more central place(s) and the adjacent densely settled surrounding area that together have a residential population of at least 50,000 and an overall population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile as determined by the latest Decennial Census by the Bureau of Census. Page 7 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 SECTION B: COVERAGE UNDER THIS PERMIT Introduction This Construction General Permit (CGP) authorizes stormwater discharges from large and small construction activities that result in a total land disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre, where those discharges enter surface waters of the State or a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) leading to surface waters of the State subject to the conditions set forth in this permit. This permit also authorizes stormwater discharges from any other construction activity designated by ADEQ where ADIIQ makes that designation based on the potential for contribution to an excursion of a water quality standard or for significant contribution of pollutants to waters of the State. This permit replaces the permit issued in 2003. The goal of this permit is to minimize the discharge of stormwater pollutants from construction activity. The Operator should make sure to read and understand the conditions of the permit. A copy of the General Stormwater Construction Permit is available on the ADEQ web site at httt)://www.adeg.state.ar.ustwater/branch npdes/stormwater/constructionlconstruction.htm. You may also obtain a hard copy by contacting the ADEQ's General Permits Section at (501)682-0623. 1. Permitted Area. If a large or small construction activity is located within the State of Arkansas, the operator may be eligible to obtain coverage under this permit. 2. Eligibility. Permit eligibility is limited to discharges from "large" and "small" construction activity, or as otherwise designated by ADEQ. This general permit contains eligibility restrictions, as well as permit conditions and requirements. You may have to take certain actions to be eligible for coverage under this permit. In such cases, you must continue to satisfy those eligibility provisions to maintain permit authorization. If you do not meet the requirements that are a pre- condition to eligibility, then resulting discharges constitute unpermitted discharges. By contrast, if you eligible for coverage under this permit and do not comply with the requirements of the general permit, you may be in violation of the general permit for your otherwise eligible discharges. A. This general permit authorizes discharges from construction activities as defined in 40 CFR 122.26(a), 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x), and 40 CFR I22.26(b)(15)(i). B. This permit also authorizes stormwater discharges from support activities (e.g., concrete or asphalt batch plants, equipment staging yards, materials storage areas, excavated material disposal areas, borrow areas) provided: 1) The support activity is directly related to a specific construction site that is required to have NPDES permit coverage for discharges of stormwater associated with the construction activity; 2) The support activity is not a commercial operation serving multiple unrelated construction projects by different operators, and does not operate beyond the completion of the construction activity at the last construction project it supports; 3) Pollutant discharges from support activity areas are minimized in compliance with conditions of this permit; and 4) discharges from the support activity areas must be identified in a stormwater pollution prevention plan stating appropriate controls and measures for the area. C. Other activities may be considered for this permit at the discretion of the Director as defined in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(15)(ii). 3. Responsibilities of the Operator. Permittees with operational control are responsible for compliance with all applicable terms and, conditions of this permit as it relates to their activities on the construction site, including protection of endangered species and implementation of BMPs and other controls required by the SWPPP. Receipt of this general Page 8 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 permit does not relieve any operator of the responsibility to comply with any other applicable federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation. 4. Where to submit. The operator shall submit a complete and signed NOI and SWPPP to the Department at the following address: Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality Discharge Permits Section 5301 Northshore Drive North Little Rock, AR 72118-5317 Or by electronic mail (Complete documents (NOI and SWPPP) must be submitted in PDF format) to: Water-permit-application@adeg.state.ar.us; NOTE: Notice of Coverage (NOC) will NOT be issued until payment has been received by ADEQ. 5. Requirements for OuaIifving Local Program (QLP). The Department reviews and approves the QLP programs to ensure that they meet or supersede both state and federal requirements outlined in this permit and 40 CFR 122.44(s). ADEQ will review the QLP program at least every 5 years for recertification. If the Department approves a QLP, then the QLP requirements must at the minimum meet the Department's requirements. This would include all templates and forms. If the small construction site is within the jurisdiction of a QLP, the operator of the small construction site is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with construction activity under QLP permit requirements only. List of Qualifying Local Programs: A list of municipalities with Qualifying Local Programs is available at http://www.adeci.state.ar.us/waterlbranch ndes/stormwater/ms4.htm. At this time only the City of Hot Springs is meeting the ADEQ minimum requirements. 6. Requirements for Coverage. A. Automatic Coverage. An operator of each site with automatic coverage may discharge under this general permit without submitting a NOI, SWPPP and fee. Please note that all the permit conditions set forth must be followed. The Operator is responsible for ensuring that the site is in compliance with any changes or updates of this general permit, by either contacting ADEQ or reviewing the ADEQ website http://www.adeg.state.ar.us/water/branch_npdes/stormwater/construction/construction.htm . B. Large Construction Sites. An operator of a large construction site discharging under this general permit must submit the following items at least two weeks prior to commencement of construction: I) A Notice of Intent (NOI) in accordance with the requirements of Part I.B.7 of this permit. 2) A complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with the requirements of Part ILA of this permit. 3) An initial permit fee must accompany the NOI under the provisions of APCEC Regulation No. 9. Subsequent annual fees will be billed by the Department until the operator has requested a termination of coverage by submitting a Notice of Termination (NOT). Failure to remit the required permit fee may be grounds for the Director to deny coverage under this general permit. 4) Per Part LB. 14 of the permit, any single lot that are less than five (5) acres but part of a larger common plan Page 9 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 greater than five (5) acres, are waived from the requirements of a large site and may be permitted under automatic coverage. Permitted Ongoing Project: If you previously did receive authorization to discharge for your project under the 2003 CGP and you wish to obtain coverage under this permit, you must submit only an NOI within 60 days of the issuance date of this permit and update the existing SWPPP in accordance with Part II of this permit. C. Coverage within a OLP An operator of a site with automatic coverage, as defined in this permit, shall comply with the requirements of the QLP which has jurisdiction over the site. 7. Notice of Intent (NOI) Requirements A. NOI Form. Large Construction site operators who intend to seek coverage for stormwater discharge under this general permit must submit a complete and accurate ADEQ NOI form to the Department at least two weeks prior to coverage under this permit. The NOI form must be the current version obtained from the stormwater webpage indicated above in Part I.B. If the NO[ is deemed incomplete, the Department will notify the applicant with regard to the deficiencies by a letter, email, or phone within ten (10) business days of receipt of NOI. If the operator does not receive a notification of deficiencies from ADEQ's receipt of the NOI, the NOI is deemed complete. If the applicant does not provide the Department with the requested deficiencies within the deadline set by the Department, then the Department will return the NOI, fee and SWPPP back to the applicant. B. Contents of the NOI. The NOI form contains, at a minimum, the following information: 1) Operator (Pennittee) information (name, address, telephone and fax numbers, E-mail address) 2) Whether the operator is a federal, state, private, public, corporation, or other entity 3) Application Type: New or renewal 4) Invoice mailing information (name, address, and telephone and fax numbers) 5) Project Construction site information (name, county, address, contact person, direction to site, latitude and longitude for the entrance of the site or the endpoints for linear project (in degrees, minutes, and seconds), estimated construction start date and completion date through site final stabilization, estimate of the total project acreage and the acreage to be disturbed by the operator submitting the NOI, type of the project (subdivision, school, etc), whether the project is part of a larger common plan of development.) 6) Discharge information (name of the receiving stream, ultimate receiving stream, name of municipal storm sewer system) 7) Endangered Species information 8) Previous/Current permit information 9) The Certification statement and signature of a qualified signatory person in accordance with 40 CFR 122.22, as adopted by reference in APCEC Regulation No. 6 10) The certification of the facility corporation 11) Other information (location of the SWPPP). Page 10 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 C. Notice of Coverage (NOC). Unless notified by the Director to the contrary, dischargers who submit a NOI in accordance with the requirements of this permit are authorized to discharge stormwater from construction sites under the terms and conditions of this permit two weeks after the date the NOI is deemed complete by ADEQ. If the NOC has not been received by the permittee two weeks after the date the NOI is deemed complete by ADEQ, the NOI should be posted until the NOC is received. Upon review of the NOI and other available information, the Director may deny coverage under this permit and require submittal of an application for an individual NPDES permit. 8. Posting Notice of Coverage (NOC). A. Large Sites: NOC Posting for Large Construction Sites. The posting for large construction sites shall be obtained from the Department only after the permittee has met the NOI, permit fee and complete SWPPP submittal to the Department for the coverage. B. Automatic Coverage Sites. The Automatic Coverage NOC for small sites and a single site less than five (5) acres but part of a larger common plan, as defined in Part LA, can be obtained from the Water Division's Construction Stormwater webpage. Posting a NOC without a SWPPP is a violation of this permit. C. Linear Projects. If the construction project is a linear construction project (e.g., pipeline, highway, etc.), the notice must be placed in a publicly accessible location near where construction is actively underway and moved as necessary. Please note, this permit does not provide the public with any right to trespass on a construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site; nor does this permit require that the permittee allow members of the public access to a construction site. 9. Applicable Federal. State or Local Requirements. The operator must ensure that the stormwater controls implemented at the site are consistent with all applicable federal, state, or local requirements. Additionally, an operator who is operating under approved local erosion and sediment plans, grading plans, local stormwater permits, or stormwater management plans shall submit signed copies of the Notice of Intent to the local agency (or authority) upon the local agency's request. 10. Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges. A. The following non-stormwater discharges that are combined with stormwater during construction may be authorized by this permit. Non-stormwater discharges must be addressed in the stormwater pollution prevention plan. I) Fire fighting activities; 2) Fire hydrant flushings; 3) Water used to wash vehicles (where detergents or other chemicals are not used) or control dust in accordance with Part II.A.4.I.2; 4) Potable water sources including uncontaminated waterline flushings; 5) Landscape Irrigation; 6) Routine external building wash down which does not use detergents or other chemicals; 7) Pavement washwaters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not occurred (unless all spilled materials have been removed) and where detergents or other chemicals are not used; 8) Uncontaminated air conditioning, compressor condensate (See Part I.B.12 of this permit);, 9) Uncontaminated springs, excavation dewatering and groundwater (See Part I.B.12 of this permit); 10) Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as solvents (See Part I.B.12 of this permit); Page I i of PartI Permit No. ARR150000 ll. Limitations on Coverage (Exclusions). The following stormwater discharges associated with construction activity are not covered by this permit: A. Post Construction Discharge. Stormwater discharges associated with construction activities that originate from the site after construction activities have been completed, the site has undergone final stabilization, and the permit has been terminated. B. Discharges_ Mixed with Non-Stormwater. Stormwater discharges that are mixed with sources of non-stormwater other than those identified in Part I.B.10. C. Discharges Covered by another Permit. Stormwater discharges associated with construction activity that are covered under an individual or an alternative general permit may be authorized by this permit after an existing permit expires provided the expired permit did not establish numeric effluent limitations for such discharges. D. Discharges into Receiving Waters with an Approved TMDL. Discharges from a site into receiving waters for which there is an established total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocation (www.adeaatate.ar.us/water/branchplanningdefault.htm) for Turbidity, Oil & Grease, and/or other pollutants at the discretion of the Director are not eligible for coverage under this permit unless the permittee develops and certifies a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) that is consistent with the assumptions and requirements in the approved TMDL. To be eligible for coverage under this general permit, operators must incorporate into their SWPPP any conditions applicable to their discharges necessary for consistency with the assumptions and requirements of the TMDL within any timeframes established in the TMDL. If a specific numeric wasteload allocation has been established that would apply to the project's discharges, the operator must incorporate that allocation into its SWPPP and implement necessary steps to meet that allocation. Please note that the Department will be reviewing this information. If it is determined that the project will discharge to a TMDL, then the Department may require additional BMPs. E. Discharges into Impaired Receiving Waters (303(d) List). Discharges from a site into a receiving waters listed as impaired under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act ( www.adeg.state.ar.us/water/branch planning/default.htm ) for Turbidity, Oil & Grease and/or other pollutants at the discretion of the Director, should incorporate into the SWPPP any additional BMPs needed to sufficiently protect water quality. The SWPPP should include a proposal for monitoring to determine if the BMPs and controls are effective. Please note that the Department will be reviewing this information. If it is determined that the project will discharge to an impaired water body, then the Department may require additional BMPs. F. Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat Protection. Stormwater discharges from construction sites that are likely to adversely affect a listed endangered or threatened species or its critical habitat must contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at (501) 513-4470 orwww.fws.gov/arkansas-es. Discharges which are not in compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) can not be covered under this permit. In order to obtain coverage, the applicant must follow the process required by the USFWS in order to determine the project's compliance with the ESA. This automatic process can be found on the USFWS website at the following address: www.fws.gov/arkansas-es. The certification provided by the process must be included in the project's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. If at some point during the process, the submittal of information to the USFWS is required, then the incomplete checklist should be submitted to the Department along with the letter of correspondence that was submitted to the USFWS. Page 12 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 12. Trench and Ground Water Control. There shall be no turbid discharges to surface waters of the state resulting from dewatering activities. If trench or ground waters contain sediment, it must pass through a sediment settling pond or other equally effective sediment control device, prior to being discharged from the construction site. Alternatively, sediment may be removed by settling in place or by dewatering into a sump pit, filter bag, or comparable practice. Ground water dewatering which does not contain sediment or other pollutants is not required to be treated prior to discharge. However, care must be taken when discharging ground water to ensure that it does not become pollutant -laden by traversing over disturbed soils or other pollutant sources. 13. Buffer Zones. An undisturbed buffer zone as stated below shall be maintained at all times. Exceptions from this requirement for areas, such as water crossings, limited water access, and restoration of the buffer are allowed if the permittee fully documents in the SWPPP the circumstances and reasons for the buffer zone encroachment. Additionally, this requirement is not intended to interfere with any other ordinance, rule or regulation, statute or other provision of law. A. For construction projects where clearing and grading activities will occur, the SWPPP must provide at least twenty- five (25) feet of buffer zone, as measured horizontally from the top of the bank to the disturbed area, from any named or unnamed streams, creeks, rivers, lakes or other water bodies. B. The Department may also require up to fifty (50) feet of buffer zone, as measured from the top of the bank to the disturbed area, from established TMDL water bodies, streams listed on the 303 (d) -list, an Extraordinary Resource Water (ERW), Ecologically Sensitive Waterbody (ESW), Natural and Scenic Waterway (NSW), and/or any other uses at the discretion of the Director. C. Linear projects will be evaluated individually by the Department to determine buffer zone setbacks. 14. Waivers from Permit Coverage. The Director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit for stormwater discharges from construction activities under the terms and conditions described in this section. A. Waiver Applicability and Coverage. Based upon 40 CFR Part 122.26.b.15.i.A, operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from the requirements to obtain this permit. B. No Stormw_ ater Leaving the Site. If all of the stormwater from the construction activity is captured on -site under any size storm event and allowed to evaporate, soak into the ground on -site, or is used for irrigation, a permit is not needed. C. TMDL Waivers. This waiver is available for sites with automatic coverage if the ADEQ has established or approved a TMDL that addresses the pollutant(s) of concern and has determined that controls on stormwater discharges from small construction activity are not needed to protect water quality. The pollutant(s) of concern include sediment (such as total suspended solids, turbidity or siltation) and any other pollutant that has been identified as a cause of impairment of any water body that will receive a discharge from the construction activity. Information on TMDLs that have been established or approved by ADEQ is available from ADEQ online at www.adeq.state.ar.us/water/branch planninedefault.htm. D. Discharges into Impaired Receiving Waters (303(d) List). This waiver is available for sites with automatic coverage if the ADEQ has listed the waters in 303(d) list that addresses the pollutant(s) of concern and has determined that controls on stormwater discharges from small construction activity are not needed to protect water quality. The pollutant(s) of concern include sediment (such as total suspended solids, turbidity or siltation) and any other pollutant Page 13 of Part I Permit No. ARRI50000 that has been identified as a cause of impairment of any water body that will receive a discharge from the construction activity. Information on 303(d) that have been established by ADEQ is available from ADEQ online at www.adeci.state.ar.us/water/branch planning/default.htm E. Sites part of the Larger Common Plan. Any single lot less than 5 acres that is part of larger common plan may be considered as a small construction site. As long as the operator has complied with all conditions of this permit without submitting an NOI in accordance with 40 CFR 122.28(b)(2)(v). This waiver is applicable if the operator has only one lot in the larger common plan or multiple lots in which construction will not begin within 24 months of the prior construction. 15. Continuation of the Expired General Permit. If this permit is not reissued or replaced prior to the expiration date, it will be administratively continued in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act and remain in force and effect. If you were granted permit coverage prior to the expiration date, you will automatically remain covered by the continued permit until the earliest of: • Reissuance or replacement of this permit, at which time the operator must comply with the conditions of the new permit to maintain authorization to discharge and, the operator is required to notify the Department of his/her intent to be covered under this permit within 60 days after the effective date of the renewal permit ; or • Submittal of a Notice of Termination; or • Issuance of an individual permit for the project's discharges; or • A formal permit decision by ADEQ to not reissue this general permit, at which time you must seek coverage under an alternative general permit or an individual permit Small site Operators are responsible for ensuring that the site is in compliance with any changes or updates of this general permit, by reviewing the ADEQ website at: http://www.adeq.state.ar.us/water/branch npdes/stormwater/construction/construction.htm . 16. Notice of Termination (NOT). All construction activities that disturbed soil are complete, the site has reached final effective stabilization (100% stabilization with 80% density), all stormwater discharges from construction activities authorized by this permit are eliminated and all temporary sediment controls are removed and properly disposed, the operator of the facility may submit a complete Notice of Termination (NOT) to the Director. Along with the NOT, pictures that represent the entire site should be submitted for review. Final stabilization is not required if the land is returned to its pre -construction agriculture use. Operators of small construction sites are not required to submit NOTs for their construction sites. However, final stabilization is required on all sites. If a Notice of Termination is not submitted when the project is completed, the operator will be responsible for annual fees. 17. Responsibilities of the Operator of a Larger Common Plan of Development for a Subdivision. A. The operator is ultimately responsible for the runoff from the perimeter of the entire development. Regardless for the reason of the runoff, the operator is responsible for ensuring sufficient overall controls of the development. B. The operator shall not terminate the permit coverage until the following conditions have been met: 1) After all construction including landscaping and lot development has been completed; and 2) All lots are sold and developed. The following exceptions to this requirement can apply: Page 14 of Part I Permit No. ARRI 50000 a. less than 100% sold and developed at the discretion of the Director, or b. Separation of the larger common plan if twenty-four (24) months have passed with no construction activity. c. All lots are developed and there are no temporary common controls for subdivision outfalls, i.e. sediment basins, large sediment traps, check dams, etc. 3) If lots are sold then re -sold to a third party then permit coverage needs to be obtained by each of the operators while they have ownership of the lots. The second owner is responsible to obtain the same certification from the third owner, i.e. the certification must pass from owner to owner. C. The operator shall not terminate permit coverage until the operators of all the individual lots within the larger common plan are notified of their permitting requirements under this general permit. In this case, the signed certification statements from each operator of individual lots must be maintained in the stormwater pollution prevention plan for the large common plan. A copy of the signed certifications must be submitted to ADEQ with the NOT. The certification shall be as follows: "I, operator of an individual lot # , block # of subdivision, certify under penalty of law that I was notified by the operator of the larger common plan of the stormwater permitting requirements for my construction site(s). I understand prior to commencement of any construction activity I have to prepare and comply with a SWPPP and post the Construction Site Notice. I understand that prior to the sale of this lot to another party; I must notify the new owner of ADEQ requirements and obtain this certification from the new owner." Signature D. The following examples are provided as clarification: 1) If a small portion of the original common plan of development remains undeveloped and there has been a period of time (i.e., more than 24 months) where there are no ongoing construction activities (i.e., all areas are either undisturbed or have been finally stabilized), you may re-evaluate the original project based on the acreage remaining from the original "common plan." If less than five but more than one acre remains to build out the original "common plan", coverage under the large permit may not be required. However, you will need to comply with the terms and conditions for Small Construction Sites in the Construction General Permit. If less than one acre remains of the original common plan, your individual project may be treated as a part of a less than one acre development and no permit would be required. 2) If you have a long-range master plan of development where some portions of the master plan are conceptual rather than a specific plan of future development and the future construction activities would, if they occur at all, happen over an extended period of time (i.e., more than 24 months), you may consider the "conceptual" phases of development to be separate "common plans" provided the periods of construction for the physically interconnected phases will not overlap. 3) Where discrete construction projects within a larger common plan of development or sale are located 1/ mile or more apart and the area between the projects is not being disturbed, each individual project can be treated as a separate plan of development or sale provided any interconnecting road, pipeline or utility project that is part of the same "common plan" is not concurrently being disturbed. For example, an interconnecting access road or pipeline were under construction at the same time, they would generally be considered as a part of a single "common plan" for permitting purposes. 4) If the operator sells all the lots in the subdivision to one or more multi -lot homebuilder(s), provisions must be made to obtain stormwater permit coverage by one of the following options: a. The permit may be transferred from the first "operator" to the new/second "operator". Page 15 of Part I Permit No. ARR150000 b. A new, separate permit may be obtained by the second "operator". NOTE: If a new permit is to be obtained, then it must be obtained before the first/original permit is terminated. 5) If the operator retains ownership of any lots in the subdivision, the operator shall maintain permit coverage for those lots under the original permit. The operator shall modify the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by stating which lots are owned and marking the lots on the site map. If there are one (1) or two (2) lots remaining and the total acreage is less than five (5) acres, the original permit could be terminated and those lots could be covered as a small site. 18. Change in Operator. For stormwater discharges from large construction sites where the operator changes, including instances where an operator is added after the initial NOI has been submitted, the new operator must ensure that a permit transfer form is received by the Department at least two (2) weeks prior to the operator beginning work at the site. 19. Late Notifications. A discharger is not precluded from submitting an NOI in accordance with the requirements of this part after the dates provided in Part I.B.6 of this permit. In such instances, the Director may bring an enforcement action for failure to submit an NOI in a timely manner or for any unauthorized discharges of stormwater associated with construction activity that have occurred on or after the dates specified in this permit. 20. Failure to Notify. The operator of a construction site who fails to notify the Director of their intent to be covered under this permit, and who potentially discharges pollutants (sediment, debris, etc.) to waters of the State without an NPDES permit, is in violation of the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act (Act 472 of 1949, as amended). 21. Maintenance. Determination of the acreage of disturbance does not typically include disturbance for routine maintenance activities on existing roads where the line and grade of the road is not being altered, nor does it include the paving of existing roads. Maintenance activities (returning to original conditions) are not regulated under this permit unless one or more acres of underlying and/or surrounding soil are cleared, graded, or excavated as part of the operation. 22. Releases in Excess of Reportable Ouantities. A. The discharge of hazardous substances or oil in the stormwater discharge(s) from a facility shall be prevented or minimized in accordance with the applicable stormwater pollution prevention plan for the facility. This permit does not relieve the operator of the reporting requirements of 40 CFR Parts 110, 117 and 302. Where a release containing a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reporting quantity established under either 40 CFR 110, 40 CFR 117, or 40 CFR 302, occurs during a 24 -hour period, the following action shall be taken: 1) Any person in charge of the facility is required to notify the National Response Center (NRC) (800-424-8802) in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 110, 40 CFR 117, or 40 CFR 302 as soon as he/she has knowledge of the discharge; 2) The operator shall submit within five (5) calendar days of knowledge of the release a written description of the release (including the type and estimate of the amount of material released), the date that such release occurred, and the circumstances leading to the release, and steps to be taken in accordance with Part II.B. 13 of this permit to the ADEQ. 3) The stormwater pollution prevention plan described in Part ILA of this permit must be modified within fourteen (14) calendar days of knowledge of the release to: a. Provide a description of the release and the circumstances leading to the release; and Page 16 of Part I Permit No. ARR 150000 b. The date of the release; 2. Additionally, the plan must be reviewed to identify measures to prevent the reoccurrence of such releases and to respond to such releases, and the plan must be modified where appropriate. B. Spills. This permit does not authorize the discharge of hazardous substances or oil resulting from an on -site spill. 23. Attainment of Water Quality Standards The operator must select, install, implement and maintain control measures at the construction site that minimize the discharge of turbidity and/or oil and grease and/or other pollutants at the discretion of the Director as necessary to protect water quality. In general, except in situations explained in below, the stormwater controls developed, implemented, and updated to be considered stringent enough to ensure that your discharges do not cause or contribute to an excursion above any applicable water quality standard. At any time after authorization, the ADEQ may determine that the stormwater discharges may cause, have reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to an excursion above any applicable water quality standard. If such a determination is made, ADEQ will require the permittee to: A. Develop a supplemental BMP action plan describing SWPPP modifications to address adequately the identified water quality concerns and submit valid and verifiable data and information that are representative of ambient conditions and indicate that the receiving water is attaining water quality standards; or B. Cease discharges of pollutants from construction activity and submit an individual permit application. All written responses required under this part must include a signed certification consistent with Part II.B.9.

Local Requirements Page 18 of Part II Permit No. ARR150000 SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLANS (SWPPP). The operator must prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan (the plan/SWPPP) before permit coverage. At least one SWPPP must be developed for each construction project or site covered by this permit. The SWPPP must follow the order outlined in Part ILA.4-7 below. This basic ADEQ format is available through the Department's website http_//www.adeq.state.ar.us/water/branchnpdes/stormwater/construction/construction.htm . Other formats maybe used at the discretion of the Director if the format has been approved by the Department prior to use. The operator must implement the SWPPP as written from initial commencement of construction activity until final stabilization is complete, with changes being made as deemed necessary by the permittee, local, state or federal officials. The plan shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices, by qualified personnel and must: • Identify potential sources of pollution which may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges from the construction; • Identify, describe and ensure the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), with emphasis on initial site stabilization, which are to be used to reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges from the construction site; • Be site specific to what is taking place on a particular construction site; • Ensure compliance with the terms and conditions o€ this permit; and • Identify the responsible party for on -site SWPPP implementation. 1. Deadlines for Plan Preparation and Compliance. A. Large Construction Sites The plan shall be completed and submitted for review, along with a NOI and initial permit fee 2 weeks prior to commencement of construction activities. Submittals of updates to the plan during the construction process are required only if requested by the Director. B. Automatic Coverage Sites The plan shall be completed prior to the commencement of construction activities and updated as appropriate. Submittal of NOI, permit fee and SWPPP is not required. C. Existing Permittees Existing permittees, that were permitted prior to the issuance of this renewal permit, are required to update their plan as appropriate to come into compliance with the requirements contained in Part II.A.4 within sixty (60) days from the effective date of this permit. 2. Signature, Plan Review, Plan Availability and NOC. A. The plan shall be signed by the operator in accordance with Part II.B.9 and be retained on -site at the construction site during normal business hours (8:00 A.M. — 5:00 P.M.). The operator shall keep the complete updated SWPPP on -site. B. The operator shall make plans available, upon request, to the Director, the EPA, or a State or local agency reviewing sediment and erosion plans, grading plans, or stormwater management plans, or, in the case of a stormwater discharge associated with construction activity which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system with an NPDES permit, to the municipal operator of the system. Page 19 of Part Il Permit No. ARR150000 C. The Director, or authorized representative, may notify the operator at any time that the plan does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this Part. Within seven (7) business days of such notification from the Director, (or as otherwise provided by the Director), or authorized representative, the operator shall make the required changes to the plan and submit to the Director a written certification that the requested changes have been made. The Department may request re -submittal of the SWPPP to confirm that all deficiencies have been adequately addressed. The Department may also take appropriate enforcement action for the period of time the operator was operating under a plan that did not meet the minimum requirements of this permit. D. The operator must post the NOC near the main entrance of the construction site and visible to the public. The NOC will indicate the location of the SWPPP. 3. Keeping Plans Current. The operator shall amend the plan within seven (7) business days or whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction site which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to the Waters of the State that has not been previously addressed in the SWPPP. The plan should also be modified if a determination has been made through inspections, monitoring (if required), or investigation by the operator, local, state, or federal officials that the discharges are causing or contributing to water quality violation or the plan proves to be ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants from sources identified in stormwater discharges from the construction site. 4. Contents of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The stormwater pollution prevention plan shall include the following items: A. Site Description. Each plan shall provide a description of the following: 1) Pre -construction topographic view; 2) A description of the nature of the construction activity and its intended use after the NOT is filed (i.e., residential subdivision, shopping mall, etc.); 3) A description of the intended sequence of major activities which disturb soils for major portions of the site (e.g. grubbing, excavation, grading, infrastructure installation, etc.); 4) Estimates of the total area of the site (including off -site borrow and fill areas) and the total area of the site that is expected to be disturbed by excavation, grading or other activities; and 5) An estimate of the runoff coefficient of the site for pre- and post -construction activities and existing data describing the soil or the quality of any discharge from the site. B. Responsible Parties. The SWPPP must identify (as soon as this information is known) all parties (i.e., General Contractors, Landscapers, Project Designers, and Inspectors) responsible for particular services they provide to the operator to comply with the requirements of the SWPPP for the project site, and areas over which each party has control. If these parties change over the life of the permit, or new parties are added, then the SWPPP should be updated to reflect these changes. C. Receiving Waters. The SWPPP must identify the nearest receiving water(s), or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm sewer, the name of the operator of the municipal system, the ultimate receiving water(s D. Documentation of Permit Eligibility Related to the 303 (d) list and Total Maximum Daily Loads {TMDL). The SWPPP should include information on whether or not the stormwater discharges from the site enter a water body that is on the most recent 303 (d) list or with an approved TMDL. If the stormwater discharge does enter a water body that is on the most recent 303(d) list or with an approved TMDL, then the SWPPP should address the following items: 1) Identification of the pollutants that the 303 (d) list or TMDL addresses, specifically whether the 303 (d) list or Page 20 of Part II Permit No. ARR 150000 TMDL addresses sediment or a parameter that addresses sediment (such as total suspended solids, turbidity, or siltation); 2) Identification of whether the operator's discharge is identified, either specifically or generally, on the 303 (d) list or any associated assumptions and allocations identified in the TMDL for the discharge; and 3) Measures taken by the operator to ensure that its discharge of pollutants from the site is consistent with the assumptions and allocations of the TMDL. If the Department determines during the review process that the proposed project will be discharging to a receiving water that is on the most recent 303 (d) list or with an approved TMDL, then the Department will notify the applicant to include additional Best Management Practices in the SWPPP. E. Attainment of Water Quality Standards After Authorization. 1) The permittee must select, install, implement, and maintain BMPs at the construction site that minimize pollutants in the discharge as necessary to meet applicable water quality standards. In general, except in situations explained below, the SWPPP developed, implemented, and updated to be considered as stringent as necessary to ensure that the discharges do not cause or contribute to an excursion above any applicable water quality standard. 2) At any time after authorization, the Department may determine that the stormwater discharges may cause, have reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to an excursion above any applicable water quality standard. If such a determination is made, the Department will require the permittee to: a. Develop a supplemental BMP action plan describing SWPPP modifications to address adequately the identified water quality concerns and submit valid and verifiable data and information that are representative of ambient conditions and indicate that the receiving water is attaining water quality standards; or b. Cease discharges of pollutants from construction activity and submit an individual permit application. 3) All written responses required under this part must include a signed certification (Part ILS.10) F. Endangered Species. The SWPPP must contain information on endangered and threatened species, including whether any endangered species are in proximity of the stormwater discharge and BMP's to be constructed to control stormwater runoff. The letter of consent from the USF&W, as stated in Part LB.11.F must be included with the SWPPP along with the name and telephone number of the person or agency which was contacted to obtain the information. G. Site Map. The SWPPP must contain a legible site map complete to scale, showing the entire site, that identifies, at a minimum, the following: 1) Direction of stormwater flow (i.e., use arrows to show which direction stormwater will flow) and approximate slopes anticipated after major grading activities; 2) Delineate on the site map areas of soil disturbance and areas that will not be disturbed under the coverage of this permit; 3) Location of major structural and nonstructural controls identified in the plan; 4) Location of main construction entrance and exit; 5) Location where stabilization practices are expected to occur; 6) Locations of off -site materials, waste, borrow area, or equipment storage area; 7) Location of areas used for concrete wash -out; 8) Location of all surface water bodies (including wetlands); Page 21 of Part II Permit No. ARR150000 9) Locations where stormwater is discharged to a surface water and/or municipal separate storm sewer system if applicable, 10) Locations where stormwater is discharged off -site (should be continuously updated); 11) Areas where final stabilization has been accomplished and no further construction phase permit requirements apply. H. Stormwater Controls. Each plan shall include a description of appropriate controls and measures that will be implemented at the construction site. The plan will clearly describe for each major activity identified in the project description control measures associated with the activity and the schedule during the construction process that the measures will be implemented. Perimeter controls for the site must be installed after the clearing and grubbing necessary for installation of the measure, but before the clearing and grubbing for the remaining portions of the site. Perimeter controls must be actively maintained until final stabilization of those portions of the site upward of the perimeter control. Temporary perimeter controls must be removed after final stabilization and properly disposed. The description and implementation of controls shall address the following minimum components: 1) Initial Site Stabilization, Erosion, and Sediment Controls. The SWPPP must address, at a minimum, the following: a. For larger common plans, only streets, drainage, utility areas, areas needed for initial construction of streets (e.g., borrow pits, parking areas, etc.) and areas needed for stormwater structures may be disturbed initially. Upon stabilization of the initial areas, additional areas may be disturbed. b. The construction -phase erosion (such as site stabilization) and sediment controls (such as check dams) should be designed to retain sediment on -site to the extent practicable. c. All control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, good engineering, and construction practices. If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used inappropriately or incorrectly, the permittee must replace or modify the control for site situations. d. If sediment escapes the construction site, off -site accumulations of sediment must be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize off -site impacts (e.g., fugitive sediment in street could be washed into storm sewers by the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets). This permit does not give the authority to trespass onto other property; therefore this condition should be carried out along with the permission of neighboring land owners to remove sediment. e. Sediment must be removed from sediment traps (if used please specify what type) or sedimentation ponds when design capacity has been reduced by 50%. f. Litter, construction debris, and construction chemicals exposed to stormwater shall be prevented from becoming a pollutant source for stormwater discharges (e.g., screening outfalls picked up daily). g. Off -site material storage areas (also including overburden and stockpiles of dirt, borrow areas, etc.) used solely by the permitted project are considered a part of the project and shall be addressed in the SWPPP. 2) Stabilization practices. The SWPPP must include, at a minimum, the following information: a. Description and Schedule: A description of initial, interim, and permanent stabilization practices, including site -specific scheduling of the implementation of the practices. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation is preserved where attainable and that disturbed areas are stabilized. Stabilization practices may include: mulching, temporary seeding, permanent seeding, geotextiles, sod stabilization, vegetative buffer strips, protection of trees, and preservation of mature vegetation and other appropriate measures. b. Description of buffer areas: The Department requires that a buffer zone be established between the top of stream bank and the disturbed area. The SWPPP must contain a description of how the site will maintain Page 22 of Part II Permit No. ARR150000 buffer zones. For construction projects where clearing and grading activities will occur, SWPPP must provide at least twenty-five (25) feet of buffer zone from any named or unnamed streams, creeks, rivers, lakes or other water bodies. The plan must also provide at least fifty (50) feet of buffer zone from established TMDL water bodies, streams listed on the 303 (d) -list, an Extraordinary Resource Water (ERW), Ecologically Sensitive Waterbody (ES W), Natural and Scenic Waterway (NSW), and/or other uses at the discretion of the Director. If the site will be disturbed within the recommended buffer zone, then the buffer zone area must be stabilized as soon as possible. Exceptions from this requirement for areas, such as water crossings, limited water access, and restoration of the buffer are allowed if the permittee fully documents in the SWPPP the circumstances and reasons for the buffer zone encroachment. Additionally, this requirement is not intended to interfere with any other ordinance, rule or regulation, statute or other provision of law. Please note that above -grade clearing that does not disturb the soil in the buffer zone area does not have to comply with buffer zone requirements. c. Records of Stabilization: A record of the dates when major grading activities occur, when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a portion of the site, and when stabilization measures are initiated shall be included in the plan. d. Deadlines for Stabilization: Stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than fourteen (14) days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased, except: (1) Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the fourteenth (14th) day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceases is precluded by snow cover, stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable. (2) Where construction activity will resume on a portion of the site within twenty-one (21) days from when activities ceased (e.g. the total time period that construction activity is temporarily ceased is less than twenty-one (21) days), then stabilization measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of the site by the fourteenth (14`s) day after construction activity temporarily ceased. 3) Structural Practices. A description of structural practices to divert flows from exposed soils, store flows, or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site to the degree attainable. Structural practices should be placed on upland soils to the degree attainable. The installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Such practices may include but are not limited to: - silt fences (installed and maintained) - earthen dikes to prevent run-on - drainage swales to prevent run-on - check dams - subsurface drains - pipe slope drains storm drain inlet protection rock outlet protection sediment traps reinforced soil retaining systems gabions temporary or permanent sediment basins. A combination of erosion and sediment control measures is encouraged to achieve maximum pollutant removal. Adequate spillway cross-sectional area and re -enforcement must be provided for check dams, sediment traps, and sediment basins. Page 23 of Part II Permit No. ARR150000 a. Sediment Basins. (1) For common drainage locations that serve an area with ten (10) or more acres (including run-on from other areas) draining to a common point, a temporary or permanent sediment basin that provides storage based on either the smaller of 3600 cubic feet per acre, or a size based on the runoff volume of a 10 year, 24 hour storm, shall be provided where attainable (so as not to adversely impact water quality) until final stabilization of the site. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is attainable, the operator may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available area on site, etc. Proper hydraulic design of the outlet is critical to achieving the desired performance of the basin. The outlet should be designed to drain the basin within twenty-four (24) to seventy-two (72) hours. (A rule of thumb is one square foot per acre for a spillway design.) The 24 -hour limit is specified to provide adequate settling time; the seventy-two (72) - hour limit is specified to mitigate vector control concerns. If a pipe outlet design is chosen for the outfall, then an emergency spillway is required. If "non -attainability" is claimed, then an explanation of non - attainability shall be included in the SWPPP. Where a sediment basin is not attainable, smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps shall be used. Where a sediment basin is un-attainable, vegetative buffer strips or other suitable controls which are effective are required for all side slopes and down slope boundaries of the construction area. The plans for removal of the sediment basin should also be included with the description of the basin in the SWPPP. (2) For drainage locations serving an area less than ten (10) acres, sediment traps, silt fences, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all side slope and down slope boundaries of the construction area unless a sediment basin providing storage based on either the smaller of 3600 cubic feet per acre, or a size based on the run off volume of a 10 year, 24 hour storm is provided. (A rule of thumb is one square foot per acre for a spillway.) However, in order to protect the waters of the state, the Director, at their discretion, may require a sediment basin for any drainage areas draining to a common point. b. Velocity Dissipation Devices. Velocity dissipation devices must be placed at discharge locations, within concentrated flow areas serving two or more acres, and along the length of any outfall channel to provide a non -erosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and protected (i.e., no significant changes in the hydrological regime of the receiving water). Please note that the use of hay -bales is not recommended in areas of concentrated flow. 1. Other Controls. 1) No solid materials, including building materials, shall be discharged to waters of the State. 2) Off -site vehicle tracking of sediments and the generation of dust shall be minimized through the use of a stabilized construction entrance and exit and/or vehicle tire washing. 3) For lots that are less than one (1) acre in size an alternative method may be used in addition to a stabilized construction entrance. An example of an alternative method could be daily street sweeping. This could allow for the shortening of the construction entrance. 4) The plan shall ensure and demonstrate compliance with applicable State or local waste disposal, temporary and permanent sanitary sewer or septic system regulations. 5) No liquid concrete waste shall be discharged to waters of the State. Appropriate controls to prevent the discharge of concrete washout waters must be implemented if concrete washout will occur on -site. 6) No contaminants from fuel storage areas, hazardous waste storage and truck wash areas shall be discharged to Page 24 of Part II Permit No. ARR150000 waters of the State. Methods for protecting these areas shall be identified and implemented. These areas should not be located near a water body, if there is a water body on or near the project. J. Non-stormwater discharges. Sources of non-stormwater listed in Part 1.13.10 of this permit that are combined with stormwater discharges associated with construction activity must be identified in the plan. This list should be site specific non-stormwater discharges. K. Post -Construction Stormwater Management. The operator is required to provide a description of measures that will be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in stormwater discharges that will occur after construction operations have been completed. Structural measures should be placed on upland soils to the degree attainable. The installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 (Corps of Engineers) of the Clean Water Act. This permit only addresses the installation of stormwater management measures, and not the ultimate operation and maintenance of such structures after the construction activities have been completed and the site has undergone final stabilization. However, post -construction stormwater BMPs that discharge pollutants from a point source once construction is completed may need authorization under a separate ADEQ NPDES permit. Such practices may include but are not limited to: - infiltration of runoff onsite - flow attenuation by use of open vegetated swales and natural depressions - stormwater retention structures - stormwater detention structures (including wet ponds) - sequential systems, which combine several practices A goal of at least 80 % removal of total suspended solids from these flows which exceed predevelopment levels should be used in designing and installing stormwater management controls (where practicable). Where this goal is not met, the operator shall provide justification for rejecting each practice listed above based on site conditions. L. Applicable State or Local Programs. The SWPPP must be updated as necessary to reflect any revisions to applicable federal, state, or local requirements that affect the stormwater controls you implement at your site. M. Inspections. Inspections should conducted by qualified personnel (provided by the operator). Inspections must include all areas of the site disturbed by construction activity and areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation. Inspectors must look for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the stormwater conveyance system. Erosion and sedimentation control measures must be observed to ensure proper operation. Discharge locations must be inspected to determine whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing significant impacts to waters of the State, where accessible. Where discharge locations are inaccessible, nearby downstream locations must be inspected to the extent that such inspections are practicable. Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off -site sediment tracking. Inspections may not be required if the lot(s) within a larger common plan is/are sufficiently stabilized. The operator must ensure that no sediment will leave the lot(s) that are stabilized. These lots must be identified within the SWPPP and show what date they were stabilized. If the operator is unable to ensure this, then inspections must continue. 1) Inspection Frequency. Inspections must be conduct in accordance with one of the following schedules listed below. The schedule must be specified in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). a. At least once every 7 calendar days, or b. At least once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5inches or greater (a Page 25 of Part II Permit No. ARRI 50000 rain gauge must be maintained on -site). 2) Inspection Fornt. The ADEQ inspection form should be used for all inspections. The inspection form should include any erosion/sediment controls that are being used on the site. The form is available on the Departments website www.adeci.state.ar.us. If a different form is used it must at a minimum contain the following information: a. Inspector Name and Title b. Date of Inspection c. Amount of Rainfall and Days Since Last Rain Event (only applicable to Part II.A.4.M. I .b) d. l3MPs used on -site e. If the BMPs are in working order and if Maintenance is required (when scheduled and completed) f. Location and Dates When Major Construction Activities Begin, Occur or Cease g. Report Signature of Inspector Additional information may be added to the inspection report at the permittees discretion. 3) Inspection Records. The report shall be retained as part of the stormwater pollution prevention plan for at least three (3) years from the date the site is finally stabilized. The report shall be signed and have a certification statement in accordance with the requirements of this permit. 4) Winter Conditions. Inspections will not be required at construction sites where snow cover exists over the entire site for an extended period, and melting conditions do not exist. Regular inspections, as required by this permit, are required at all other times as specified in this permit. N. Maintenance. A description of procedures to maintain vegetation, erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures in good, effective operating condition shall be outlined in the plan. Any repairs that are needed based on an inspection shall be completed within three (3) business days of discovery or as otherwise directed by state or local officials. However, if conditions do not permit large equipment to be used, a longer time frame is allowed if the condition is thoroughly documented on the inspection form. Maintenance for manufactured controls must be done at a minimum of the manufacture's specifications. Maintenance for non -manufactured controls, i.e. check dams, sediment traps, must be done upon 50% capacity. 5. Contractors. For each measure identified in the plan, the stormwater pollution prevention plan must clearly identify the contractor(s) that will implement the measure. If additional contractors are added to the project, then the list of contractors should be updated accordingly in the SWPPP. 6. Inspectors. The stormwater pollution prevention plan must clearly identify the person or persons that will be conducting the inspections of all stormwater controls. If additional inspectors are added to the project, then the list of inspectors should be updated accordingly in the SWPPP. 7. Plan Certification. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Certification must be signed by either the operator or the cognizant official identified on the Notice of Intent. All documents required by the permit and other information requested by the Director shall be signed by operator or by a duly authorized representative of the operator (Please see Part Il.B.10 below Page 26 of Part 1I Permit No. ARR150000 for certification). Page 27 of Part II Pernnit No. ARR150000 SECTION B: STANDARD PERMIT CONDITIONS 1. Retention of Records. A. The operator shall retain records of all stormwater pollution prevention plans, all inspection reports required by this permit, and records ofall data used to complete the Notice of Intent to be covered by this permit for a period of at least three years from the date the Notice of Termination letter is signed by the Department. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time. B. The operator shall retain a signed copy of the stormwater pollution prevention plan required by this permit at the construction site from the date of project initiation to the date of final stabilization. 2. Duty to Comply. The operator must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the federal Clean Water Act and the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act and is grounds for: enforcement action; permit termination, revocation and re -issuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. 3. Penalties for Violations of Permit Conditions. The Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act (Act 472 of 1949, as amended) provides that any person who violates any provisions of a permit issued under the Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to imprisonment for not more than one (1) year, or a criminal penalty of not more than twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) or by both such fine and imprisonment for each day of such violation. Any person who violates any provision of a permit issued under the Act may also be subject to civil penalty in such amount as the court shall find appropriate, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each day of such violation. The fact that any such violation may constitute a misdemeanor shall not be a bar to the maintenance of such civil action. 4. Continuance of the Expired General Permit. An expired general permit continues in force and effect until a new general permit is issued. If this permit is not re -issued or replaced prior to the expiration date, it will be administratively continued in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act and remain in force and effect. If you were granted permit coverage prior to the expiration date, you will automatically remain covered by the continued permit until the earliest of: A. Re -issuance or replacement of this permit, at which time you must comply with the conditions of the new permit, within 60 days after issuance, to maintain authorization to discharge; or B. Your submittal of a Notice of Termination; or C. Issuance of an individual permit for the project's discharges; or D. A formal permit decision by the ADEQ to not re -issue this general permit, at which time you must seek coverage under an individual permit. 5. Need to Halt or Reduce Activity Not a Defense. It shall not be a defense for an operator in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit. 6. Duty to Mitigate. The operator shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in violation of this permit which has reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment. 7. Duty to Provide Information. The operator shall furnish to the Director, an authorized representative of the Director, the Page 28 of Part II Permit No. ARRI50000 EPA, a State or local agency reviewing sediment and erosion plans, grading plans, or stormwater management plans, or in the case of a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity which discharges through a municipal separate storm sewer system with an NPDES permit, to the municipal operator of the system, within a reasonable time, any information which is requested to determine compliance with this pennit. 8. Other Information. When the operator becomes aware that he or she failed to submit any relevant facts or submitted incorrect information in the Notice of Intent or in any other report to the Director, he or she shall promptly submit such facts or information. 9. Signatory Requirements. All Notices of Intent, reports, or information submitted to the Director or the operator of a regulated small, medium, or large municipal separate storm sewer system shall be signed and certified. A. All Notices of Intent shall be signed as follows: 1) For a corporation: by a responsible corporate officer. For purposes of this section, a responsible corporate officer means: a. A president, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision -making functions for the corporation; or b. The manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capitol investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures. 2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship: by a general partner or the proprietor, respectively; 3) For a municipality, State, Federal or other public agency: By either a principal executive or ranking elected official. For purposes of this section, a principal executive officer of a Federal agency includes: a. The chief executive officer of the agency; or b. A senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency. B. All reports required by the permit and other information requested by the Director shall be signed by a person described above or by a duly authorized representative of that person. A person is a duly authorized representative only if: 1) The authorization is made in writing by a person described above and submitted to the Director; 2) The authorization specifies either an individual or a person having responsibility for the overall operation of the regulated facility or activity, such as the position of plant manager, operator of a well or a well field, superintendent, or position of equivalent responsibility, or position of equivalent responsibility for environmental matters for the company. (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any individual occupying a named position); and Page 29 of Part II Permit No. ARR 150000 3) Changes to authorization. If an authorization under this Part is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, a new authorization satisfying the above requirements must be submitted to the Director prior to or together with any reports, information, or applications to be signed by an authorized representative. 10. Certification. Any person signing a document under this section shall make the following certification: "I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments such as Inspection Form were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted.

BACKGROUND On November 1, 2003, General Stormwater Permit No. ARR 150000 became effective with an expiration date of October 31, 2008. ADEQ recognizes that it should have a replacement permit in place at that time. ADEQ is proposing to issue a three-year permit. This will enable coordination with a national regulation the EPA is currently developing for the construction and development industry. This national regulation, called the Effluent Limitations Guideline for the Construction and Development Industry, is under development and will not be completed until after the current Construction Stormwater Permit expires.

Regulatory Background The federal stormwater regulations contained in 40 CFR 122.26 require NPDES permit coverage for small (1 — 5 acre) and large (greater than 5 acre) construction sites. 3. Permit Coverage Facilities covered by this general permit include those facilities which engage in construction activities greater than one (1) acre in size or less than one (1) acre that is part of a larger common plan. A. This general permit shall not apply to activities: 1) That originate from the site after construction activities have been completed and the site has undergone final stabilization. 2) Discharges that are mixed with sources of non-stormwater. 3) Stormwater discharges from construction sites that the Director has determined to be or may reasonably be expected to be contributing to a violation of a water quality standard. 4) Stormwater discharges from construction sites if the discharge or clearing activities are likely to adversely affect a listed endangered or threatened species or its critical habitat. 5) Discharges which are not in compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA). 6) Discharges to receiving waters listed as impaired on the 303(d) list, of which the SWPPP and selected BMPs do not sufficiently protect water quality. B. Notice of Intent (NOI) 1) Large Construction Sites (greater than 5 acres) Written notification from new dischargers shall be submitted to the Department at least two (2) weeks prior to the proposed discharge. Unless the applicant is notified otherwise by the Director within two (2) weeks of the notification being deemed complete, authority to discharge under this general permit will become effective. 2) Sites with Automatic Coverage Small site and sites that are less than one (1) acre but part of a larger common plan are automatically covered under the provisions of this general permit. All conditions set forth in Part II.A should be followed and the site should be clearly posted with the Site Notice. 3) The Notice of Intent (NOI) contains the following information: a. Operator (Permittee) information ( name, address, telephone and fax numbers, E-mail address) b. Whether the operator is a federal, state, private, public, corporation, or other entity c. Application Type: New or renewal d. Invoice mailing information (Name, address, and telephone and fax numbers) e. Project Construction site information (Name, county, address, contact person, direction to site, latitude and longitude for the entrance of the site or the endpoints for lineal project (in degrees, minutes, and seconds), estimated construction start date and completion date through site final stabilization, estimated of the total project acreage and the acreage to be disturbed by the operator submitting the NOI to the nearest 1/2 acres, type of the project (subdivision, school, etc), project part of a larger common plan of development f. Discharge information (Name of the receiving stream, ultimate receiving stream, name of municipal storm sewer system) g. Previous/Current permit information h. The Certification statement and signature of a qualified signatory person in accordance with 40 CFR 122.22, as adopted by reference in APCEC Regulation No. 6 i. The certification of the facility corporation j. Other information (location of the SWPPP). C. Termination of a Qualifying Local Program: 1) Termination Approval. A Qualifying Local Program may be terminated by either the Department or the municipality. Upon termination of Department approval of a Qualifying Local Program, any construction site must meet the requirements of this permit. 2) Expiration Approval. Department approval of a Qualifying Local Program will expire with this general permit. Any municipality desiring to continue Department approval of their program must reapply by 6 weeks after the effective date of the permit. The Division will determine if the program may continue as an approved Qualifying Local Program. D. Individual Permits The ADEQ may consider the issuance of individual permits according to the criteria in 40 CFR 122.28(b)(3). These criteria include: I) the discharge(s) is a significant contributor of pollution, 2) the discharger is not in compliance with the terms and conditions of the general permit, 3) a change has occurred in the availability of demonstrated technology or practices for the control or abatement of pollutants applicable to the point source, 4) effluent limitation guidelines are subsequently promulgated for the point sources covered by the general permit, 5) a Water Quality Management Plan containing requirements applicable to such point sources is approved, or 6) the requirements listed in 40 CFR 122.28(a) and identified in the previous paragraphs are not met. 4. Discharge Characterization Stormwater runoff is caused due to soil disturbing activities, stormwater runoff from construction sites have the potential to be heavily laden with silt, sediment, and debris. This runoff is then discharged to creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds, municipal stormwater drainage systems, etc. 5. Technology Requirements National guidelines establishing BPT, BCT, and BAT standards have not been promulgated for stormwater discharges from construction activities. In accordance with 40 CFR 122.44(k) and 40 CFR 122.44 (s), the general permit includes requirements for the development and implementation of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) along with Best Management Practices (BMPs). 6. WaterQuality QualityReguirements In accordance with 40 CFR 122.44(d), the general permit must include any requirements necessary to achieve State Water Quality Standards as established under Section 303 of the Clean Water Act. Discussed below are the requirements based on State Water Quality Standards. A. Discharges to waters for which there is a total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocation are not eligible for coverage under this permit unless you develop and certify a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) that is consistent with the assumptions and requirements in the approved TMDL. To be eligible for coverage under this general permit, operators must incorporate into their SWPPP any conditions applicable to their discharges necessary for consistency with the assumptions and requirements of the TMDL within any timeframes established in the TMDL. If a specific numeric wasteload allocation has been established that would apply to the project's discharges, the operator must incorporate that allocation into its SWPPP and implement necessary steps to meet that allocation. B. Discharges that the Department, prior to authorization under this permit, determines will cause, have the reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to an excursion above any applicable water quality standard. Where such a determination is made prior to authorization, the Department may notify you that an individual permit application is necessary in accordance with Part I.B.4. However, the Department may authorize coverage under this permit after inclusion of appropriate controls and implementation procedures in the SWPPP designed to bring the discharge into compliance with water quality standards. 7. BMP Requirements and Basis Numeric discharge limits are not imposed by this general permit. The permit language is included to ensure that those seeking coverage under this general permit select, install, implement, and maintain BMPs at their construction site that will be adequate and sufficient to meet water quality standards for all pollutants of concern. The ADEQ has determined that BMPs, when properly selected, installed, implemented, and maintained do provide effluent quality that can meet WQS based on 40 CFR 122.44(k). 8. Inspections Monitoring requirements are not imposed by this general permit in accordance with the stormwater federal regulations contained in 40 CFR 122.26. However, inspections of the permitted area are required every 7 days or once every 14 days and within 24 hours after a %2 inch of rainfall. 9. Other Conditions A. Geographic Area and Covered Facilities The general permit, when issued, will authorize stormwater discharges from construction activities throughout the State of Arkansas to all receiving waters. The permit will be applicable only to facilities which have direct discharges to waters of the State and are therefore subject to the requirements of Section 301 and 402 of the Clean Water Act. B. Eligibility and Authorization An operator engaged in construction activity greater than 1 acre in size in the State of Arkansas is eligible for coverage under this general permit. C. Expiration Date This general permit will expire three (3) years from the original effective date of the permit. 10. Sources.

Large Sites: Any permittee with coverage under this general permit at the time of expiration will continue to have coverage until a renewal general permit is effective. A tracking number can not be issued after the expiration date to new discharges. Therefore, the Department urges new dischargers to submit a complete application as soon as possible, but no later than 2 weeks prior to the expiration date of this permit. Upon issuance of a new or different general permit for all of the stormwater discharges covered by this permit, the permittee is required to notify the Department of their intent to be covered under this new permit within 60 days after the effective date. All permittees must submit a new NOI after the renewal permit effective date, even if the Department has an existing NOI on file for the discharge. B. Automatic Coverage Sites: Operators of a site with automatic coverage are responsible for ensuring that the site is in compliance with any changes or updates of this general permit, by either contacting ADEQ or reviewing the ADEQ website: http://www.adeg.state.ar.us/water/branch npdes/stormwater/construction/construction.htm .

Accepted engineering practices means those requirements which are compat- ible with standards of practice required by a registered professional engineer. Aluminum Hydraulic Shoring means a pre-engineered shoring system com- prised of aluminum hydraulic cylinders (crossbraces) used in conjunction with vertical rails (uprights) or horizontal rails (walers). Such system is designed, specifically to support the sidewalls of an excavation and prevent cave-ins. Bell-bottom pier hale means a type of shaft or footing excavation, the bottom of which is made larger than the cross section above to form a belied shape. Benching (Benching system) means a method of protecting employees from cave-ins by excavating the sides of an excavation to form one or a series of horizontal levels or steps, usually with vertical or near -vertical surfaces be- tween levels. Cave-in means the separation of a mass of soil or rock material from the side of an excavation, or the loss of soil from under a trench shield or support system, and its sudden movement into the excavation, either by failing or slidfng, in sufficient quantity so that it could entrap, bury, or otherwise injure and immobilize a person. Competent person means one who is capable of identifying existing and pre- dictable hazards in the surroundings, or working conditions which are unsan- itary, hazardous, or dangerous to em- ployees. and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. Cross braces mean the horizontal members of a shoring system installed perpendicular to the sides of the exca- vation, the ends of which bear against either uprights or wales. 369 § 1926.650 Excavation means any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in an earth surface, formed by earth re- mova). Faces or sides means the vertical or inclined' earth surfaces formed as a re- sult of excavation work. Failure means the breakage. displace- ment, or permanent deformation of a structural member or connection so as to reduce its structural integrity and its supportive capabilities. Hazardous atmosphere means an at- mosphere which by reason of being ex- plosive. flammable, poisonous, corro- sive. oxidizing, irritating, oxygen defi- cient, toxic, or otherwise harmful, may cause death. Illness, or injury. Kickout means the accidental release: or failure of a cross brace. Protective system means a method of protecting employees from cave-ins, from material that could fall or roll from an excavation face or into an ex- cavation, or from the collapse of adja- cent structures. Protective systems in- clude support systems. sloping and benching systems. shield systems, and other systems that provide the nec- essary protection. Ramp means an inclined walking or working surface that is used to gain ac- cess to one point from another, and is constructed from earth or from struc- tural materials such as steel or wood. Registered Professional Engineer means a person who is registered as a profes- sional engineer in the state where the work is to be performed. However, a professional engineer, registered in any state is deemed to be a "registered pro. fessional engineer" within the meaning of this standard when approving de- signs for "manufactured protective sys- tems" or "tabulated data" to be used in interstate commerce. Sheeting means the members of a shoring system that retain the earth in position and in turn are supported by other members of the shoring system. Shield (Shield system) means a struc- ture that is able to withstand the forces imposed on it by a cave-in and thereby protect employees within the structure. Shields can be permanent structuresor can be designed to be portable and moved along as work pro- gresses. Additionally, shields can be ei- ther premanufactured or job -built in 29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-04 Edition) accordance with §1926.652 (c) (3) or (c)(4). Shields used in trenches are usu- ally referred to as "trench boxes" or "trench shields." Shoring (Shoring system) means a structure such as a metal hydraulic, mechanical or timber shoring system that supports the sides of. an exca- vation and which is designed to prevent cave-ins. Sides. See "Faces," Sloping (Sloping system) means a method of protecting employees from cave-ins by excavating to form sides of an excavation that are inclined away from the excavation so as to prevent cave-ins. The angle of incline required to prevent a .cave-in varies with di€- ferences in such factors as the soil type, environmental conditions of ex- posure. and. application of surcharge loads. Stable rock means natural, solid min- eral material that, can be excavated 'with vertical sides•.and will remain in- tact while exposed. Unstable rock is considered to be stable -when the rock material on the side or sides of the ex- cavation is secured against .caving -in or movement by rock bolts or by an- other protective system that has been designed by a registered professional engineer. Struct'url ramp means.,a. ramp built of steel of wood, usually used, for vehicle access. Ramps made ofsoil `ir .rock are not considered structural ramps. Support System means _'a .structure such as underpinning, braciiig, -or shor- ing :which provides support -to an adja- cent structure, undergroundinstalla- tion, or the sides of an excavation. ,•Tabulated data means ' tables and charts approved by a registered profes- .sional engineer .and .used to design and construct a protective system. Trench (Trench excavation) .means ,.a narrow excavation (in- relation to its length) made below the surface of the ground: In general; the depth is greater than the width, but the width of a trench (measured at the bottom) is not greater than 15 feet (4.6 m). If forms or other structures are Installed 'or con- structed in an excavation so as to re- duce the dimension measured from the forms or structure to the side of the ex- cavation to 15 feet (4.6 m) or less 370 Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor (measured at the bottom of the exca- vation), the excavation is also consid- ered to be a trench. Trench box. See "Shield." Trench shield See "Shield." Uprights means the vertical members of a trench shoring system placed in contact with the earth and usually po- sitioned so that individual members do not contact each other. Uprights placed so that individual members are closely spaced, in contact with or interconnected to each other, are often called "sheeting." Wales means horizontal members of a shoring system placed parallel to the excavation face whose sides bear against the vertical members of the shoring system or earth. 1926.651 Specific excavation require- ments.

APPENDIX A TO SUBPART POP PART 1926 —SOIL CLASSIFICATION (a) Scope and application --(l) Scope. This appendix describes a method of classifying soil and rock deposits based on site and envi- ronmental conditions, and on the structure and -,composition of the earth deposits. The appendix. containsdefinitions, sets forth re- quire€rents, and describes acceptable visual and manual tests for use irt.elassifying soils_ (7) Application. This appendix applies when a sloping • or benching system€ Is designed in accordance with the requirements set forth in §l926.652(b)(2) as a method of protection for employees from cave-ins. This appendix also applies when timber shoring for exca- vations is designed as a. method of protection from cave-ins in accordance with appendix C 29 CFR Ch. XV11 (7-1'-04 Edition) to subpart P of part 1926. and when alu- min€_m hydraulic shoring is designed in ac- cordance with appendix D. This Appendix also applies if other protective systems are designed and selected for use from data pre- pared in accordance with the requirements set forth in g 1926.1152(c), and the use of the data Is predicated on the use of the soil clas- sification system set forth in this appendix. (b) Definitions. The definitions and exam- ples given below are based on, In whole or in part, the following: American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standards D653-35 and D2488; The Unified Soils Classification System. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Textural Classification Schema; and The National Bureau o€ Standards Report BSS -121. Cemented soil means a soil in which the par- ticles are held together by a chemical agent, such as calcium carbonate, such that a hand - size sample cannot be crushed Into powder or individual soil particles by finger pressure. Cohesive soil means clay (fine grained soil). or soil with a high clay content, which has cohesive strength. Cohesive soil does not crumble, can be excavated with vertical sideslopes. and is plastic when moist. Cohe- sive soil is hard to break up when dry, and exhibits significant cohesion when sub- merged. Cohesive sails include clayey silt, sandy clay, silty clay. clay and organic clay. Dry soil means soil that does not exhibit visible signs of moisture content. Fissured means a Soil material that has a tendency to break along definite planes of fracture with little resistance, or a material that exhibits open cracks, such as tension cracks, in an exposed surface. Cranular soil means gravel, sand, or silt, (coarse grained soil) with little or no clay content. Granular soil has no cohesive strength. Some moist granular soils exhibit apparent cohesion. Granular soil cannot be molded when moist and -crumbles easily when dry. Layered system means two or more dis- tinctly different soil or rock types arranged in layers. Micaceous seams or weakened planes in rock or shale are considered lay- ered. Moist soil means a condition in which a soil looks and feels damp. Moist -cohesive soil can easily be shaped into a ball and rolled into small diameter threads before crumbling. Moist granular soil that contains some cohe- sive material 'will exhibit signs of cohesion between particles. Plastic means a property of a soil which al- lows the soil to -be deformed or molded with- out cracking, or appreciable volume change. Saturated soil means a soil in which the voids are filled with water. Saturation does not require flow. Saturation, or near satura- tion, is necessary for the proper use of in- struments such as a pocket penetrometer or sheer vane. 376 Occupol`lonal Safety and Health Adm n., Labor Pt. 1926, Subpt. P, App, A Soli classljfeariori slsrern means, for the pur- pose of this subpart. a method of catego- rizing soil and rock deposits in c"t hierarchy of Stable Rock. Type A, Type R, and "Typo C in decreasing order of stahiiity, The cat- egories are determined based on tin analysis of the properties and performance character- istics of the deposits and the environmental conditions of exposure - .Stable rack means natural solid mineral matter chat can be excavated with vertical sides and remain intact while exposed. Subneibved soil means soil which is under- water or is free seeping. 7'y. A means cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 ton per square fact (tsf) (144 kPa) or greater. i~x- ampies of cohesive soils are: clay, silty clay, sandy clay, clay loam and, in some cases. silty clay loam and sandy clay loam. Ce- mented soils such as caliche and hardpan are also considered Type A. However. no soil. is Type A if_ (i) The soil is fissured: or (ii) The soil is subject to vibration from heavy traffic, pile driving, or similar effects; or (iii) The soil has been previously disturbed. or (iv) The soil is part of a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into t-ia exca- vation on a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:IV) or greater: or (v) The material is subject to other factors that would require it to be classified as a Ices stable material. Type B means: Ii) Cohesive soil with an unconfined com- pressive strength greater than ©.5 tsf (48 kPP) but less than 1.5 tsf (344 kPa); or (ii) Granular cohesionless soils including: angular gravel (similar to c. ashed rock), silt, silt learn, sandy loam and. In some cases, silty clay loam and sandy clay loam. (ui) Previously disturbed soils except those which would otherwise he classed as Type C soil, (iv) Soil that meets the unconfined corm- pressive strength or cementation require- rnents for Type A. but is fissured or subject to vibration; or (v) Dry rock that is not stable: or (vi) Material that is part of a sloped, lay- ered system where the layers dip into the ex- cavation on a slope less steep than four hari- zontal to orie vertical (4H;IV), but only if the material would otherwise be classified as Type El. TypeC means: (1) Cohesive Soil with an unconfined corn- pressive strength of 0.5 tsf (48 kPa) or less: or (ii) Granular soils including gravel, sand, and loamy sand; or (iii) Submerged sail or soil from which water is freely seeping: or (iv) Submerged rock that is net stable- or (v) Material in a sloped, layered system where the lavers dip into the excavation or a slope of four horizontal to one _vortical (4)-i: 1Vi or steeper. Unconflned compressive strength means the load per unit area at which a soil will fail in compression. It can be determined by labora- tory testing, or estimated in the field using a pocket. penetrometer, ₹by thumb penetra- tion tests, and other methods. Wetsoil means soil that contains signifl• cantly more moisture than moist soil, but in such a range of values that cohesive material will slump or begin to flow when vibrated. Granular material that would exhibit cohe- sive properties when rnoist will lose those co- hesive properties when wet. (c) Regufremenrs—(l) Classication of soii and rock deposits. Each soil and rock deposit shall be classified by a contpetent person as Stable Nock. Type A. Type B. or Type C in accordance with the definitions set forth in paragraph (b) of this appendix. (2) Basis of classiliication. The class! fiction of the deposits shall be made based on the re- sults of at least one visual and at least one manual analysis. Such analyses shall be con- ducted by a competent person using tests de- scribed in paragraph (d) below. Or in other recognized methods of soil classification and testing such as those adopted by the Amer- ica Society for Testing Materials, or the U.S. Department of Agriculture textural classi- fication system. (3) Visual and manual analyses. The visual and manual analyses, such as those noted as being acceptable in paragraph (d) of this ap- pendix, shall to designed and conducted to provide sufficient quantitative and quali- tative information as may be necessary to identify properly the properties, factors, and conditions affecting the classification of the deposits. (4) Layered systems. In a layered system, the system shall be classified in accordance with its weakest layer. However, each layer may be classified individually where a more stable layer lies under a less stable layer. (5)Raclassiflcarien. if, after classifying a de- posit. the properties, factors, or conditions affecting its classification change in any way. the changes shall be evaluated by a competent person. The deposit shall be re- classified as necessary to reflect the changed circumstances. (d) Acceptable visual and manual tests. —(t) Visual tests. Visual analysis is conducted to determine qualitative information regarding the excavation site in general, the soil ad)a- cent to the excavation. the soil forming the sides of the open excavation, and the soil taken as samples from excavated material. (i) Observe samples of Soil that are exca- vated and soil in the sides of the excavation. > stiniace the range of particle sizes and the relative amounts of the particle sizes. Soil that is primarily composed of fine-grained 377 Pt. 1926, Subpt. P. App- S material is cohesive material. Soil composed primarily of coarse -grained sand or ravel is granular material. (ii) Observe soil as it. is excavated. Soil that remains in clumps when excavated is cohesive. Soil that breaks up easily and does not stay in clumps is granular. (fit) Observe the side of the opened exca- vation and the surface area adjacent to the excavation. Crack -like openings such as ten- sion cracks could indicate fissured material. If chunks of soil spell off a vertical side, the soil could be fissured. Small spalls are evi- dence of moving ground and are indications of potentially hazardous situations. (lv) Observe the area adjacent to the exca- vation and the excavation itself for evidence of existing utility and other underground structures, and to identify previously dis- turbed soil. (v) Observe the opened side of the exca- vation to Identify layered systems. Examine layered systems to identify if the layers slope toward the excavation. Estimate the degree of slope of the layers. (vi) Observe the area adjacent to the exca- vation and the sides of the opened exca- vation for evidence of surface water, water seeping from the sides of the excavation. or the location of the level of the water table. (vii) Observe the area adjacent to the exca- vation and the area within the excavation for sources of vibration that may affect the stability of the excavation face. (2) Manual tests_ Manual analysis of soil samples is conducted to determine quan- titative as well as qualitative properties of soil and to provide more information in order to classify soil properly. (I) Plasticity. Mold a moist or wet sample of soil into a ball and attempt to roll it into threads as thin as ei5-inch in diameter. Cohe- sive material can be successfully rolled into threads without crumbling. For example, if at least a two Inch (50 mm) length of 11 -inch thread can be held on one end without tear- ing,the soil is cohesive. (ii) Dry strength. if the soil is dry and crumbles on its own or with moderate pres- sure Into individual grains or fine powder, it is granular (any combination of gravel, sand, or silt). If the sail is dry and falls into clumps which break up into smaller clumps, but the smaller clumps can only be broken up with difficulty, it may be clay in any combination with gravel, sand or silt. If the dry soil breaks Into clumps which do not break up into small clumps and which can only be broken with difficulty, and there is no visual indication the soil is fissured, the soil may be considered unfissured- (iii) Thumb penetration. The thumb penetra- tion test can be used to estimate the unconfiriod compressive strength of cohesive soils, (This test is based an the thumb pene- tration test described in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard 29 CFR Ch. XVII (7--1--04 Edition) designation D2488 ---"Standard Recommended Practice for Description of Soils (Visual — Manual Procedure).") Type A soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 1,s tsf can be readily indented by the thumb: how- ever, they can be penetrated by the thumb only with very great effort. 'type C soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 0.5 tsf can be easily penetrated several inches by the thumb, and can be molded by light finger pressure. This test should be conducted On an undisturbed soil sample, such as a large clump of spoil, as soon as practicable after excavation to keep to a miminurn the effects of exposure to drying influences. If the exca- vation is later exposed to wetting influences (rain, flooding), the classification of the soil must be changed accordingly. (lv) Other strength rests. Estimates o₹ unconfined compressive strength of soils can also be obtained by use of a pocket pene- rrometer or by using a hand -operated shearvane. (v) Drying test. The basic purpose of the drying test is to differentiate between cohe- sive material with fissures. unfissured cohe- sive material, and granular material. The procedure for the drying test involves drying a sample of soil that is approximately one inch thick (2.54 cm) and six inches (15,24 cm) in diameter until it is thoroughly dry: (A) If the sample develops cracks as is dries, significant fissures are indicated. (13) Samples that dry without cracking are to be broken by hand, If considerable force is necessary to break a sample, the soil has sig- nificant cohesive material content. The soil can be classified as a unfissured cohesive rna- terial and the unconfined compressive strength should be determined. (C) If a sample breaks easily by hand, it is either a fissured cohesive material or a granular material. To distinguish between the two, pulverize the dried clumps of the sample by hand or by stepping on them. If the clumps do not pulverize easily, the mate- rial is cohesive with fissures. If they pul- verize easily into very small fragments, the material is granular. APPENDIX B TO SUBPART P OF PART 1926 ---SLOPING AND BENCHING (a) Scope and application. This appendix contains specifications for sloping and benching when used as methods of protecting employees working in excavations from cave-ins. The requirements of this appendix apply when the design of sloping .and bench- ing protective systems is to be performed in accordance with the requirements set forth in 91926.652(b)(2). (b) Definitions. Actual slope means the slope to which an excavation face is excavated. Distress means that the soil is in a condi- tion where a cave-in is imminent or is likely 378 Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor Pt. 1926, Subpt. P, App. B to occur. Distress is evidenced by such phe- nomena as the development of fissures in the race of or adjacent. to an open excavation: the subsidence of the edge of an excavation; the slumping of material from the face or the bulging or heaving of material from the bottom of an excavation; the spalling of ma- terial From the face of an excavation; and ravelling. i.e.. small amounts of material such as pebbles or little clumps of material suddenly separating from the face of an exca- vation and trickling or rolling down into the excavation. tlMaaimum allowable slope means the steep- est incline of an excavation face that is ac- ceptable for the most favorable site condi- tions as protection against cave-ins, and is expressed as the ratio of horizontal distance to vertical rise (H:V). Short Term sspcnure means a period of time less than or equal to 24 hours that an exca. vation is opera. (c) Requfrernertss—(l) Sof! classification.

This appendix contains informs- tion that can be used timber shoring is pro- vided as a method of protection from cave- ins in trenches that do not exceed 20 feet (6.1 m) in depth. This appendix must be used when design of timber shoring protective systems is to be performed in accordance with §1926.552(c)(i). Other timber shoring configurations; other systems of support such as hydraulic and pneumatic systems: and other protective systems such as slop- ing, benching, shielding, and freezing sys- tems must he designed in accordance with the requirements set forth in §1926,652(b) and 51926.652(c). (b) Soil Ciassitlration. In order to use the data presented in this appendix, the soil type or types in which the excavation Is made must first be determined using the soil clas- sification method set forth in appendix A of subpart P of this part. (c) Presentation of Infarniat}on. Information is presented in several forms as follows: (1) Information is presented in tabular Form in Tables C-i.l. C-1.2, and C--1.3, and Ta- bles C -2J. C-2.2 and C-2.3 following para- graph (g of the appendix. Each table pre- sents the minimum sizes o€ timber members to use in a shoring system, and each table contains data only for the particular soil type in which the excavation or portion of 386 Occupational Sotety and Health Admin., Labor Pt. 1926, Subpt. P, App. C the excavation is :bade. The data are ar- ranged to allow the user the flexibility to se- lect from among several acceptable configu- rations of members based on varying the horizontal spacing of the crossbraces. Stable rock is exempt from shoring requirements and therefore, no data are presented for this condi tion. (2) Infai , ation concerning the basis o€ the tabular data and the limitations of the data is presented in paragraph (d) of this appen- dix, and on the tables themselves. (3) information explaining the use of the tabular data is presented in paragraph ie) of this appendix. (4) Information illustrating the use of the tabular data is presented in paragraph (f) of this. appendix. (5) Miscellaneous notations regarding Ta- bles C--L.l through C-1,3 and Tables C-2.1 through C-2.3 are presented in paragraph (g} of this Appendix. (d) Basis and lirrirarions of the data.---Cl) Di- iaensions of timber members. (i) The sizes of the timber members listed in Tables C-i.I through C -l.3 are taken from the National Bureau of Standards (Nils) report, "Rec- ommended Technical Provisions far Cori- sirucLion Practice in Shoring and Sloping of Trenches and Excavations.' In addition, where NIBS did not recommend specific sizes of members, member sizes are based on an analysis of the sizes required for use by ex- isting codes and an empirical practice. (ii) The required dimensions of the mem- bers listed in Tables C-1.1 through C--1.3 refer to actual din -tensions and not nominal di- mensions of the timber. Employers wanting to use nominal size shoring are directed to Tables C-2.1 through C--2.3, or have this choice under § 1926,t352(c)(3), and are referred to The Corps of Engineers, The Bureau of Reclamation or data from other acceptable sources. (2) Limitation of application. (i) It is not in- tended that the timber shoring specification apply to every situation that may be experi- enced in the field. These data were developed to apply to the situations that are most commonly experienced in current trenching practice. Shoring systems for use In situa- tions that are not covered by the data in this appendix must be designed as specified in §1926.662(c), (ii) When any of the following conditions are present, the members specified in the ta- bles are riot considered adequate. Either an alternate timber shoring system must be de- signed or another type of protective system= designed in accordance with 61926.652, (A) When loads imposed by structures or by stored material adjacent €o the trench weigh in excess of the load imposed by a two - foot soil surcharge. The term "adjacent" as used here means the area within a horizontal distance from the edge of the trench equal to the depth of the trench. (B) When vertical toads imposed on cross braces exceed e 240 -pound gravity load dis- tributed on a one -foot section of the center of the crossbrece. (C) When surcharge equipment weighing pounds. ,D) When only the loads are present from in excess of 20,₹000 lower portion cf a trench is shored anti the remaining portion of the trench is sloped or benched unless: The sloped portion is sloped at an angle less steep than three horizontal ro one vertical: or the members are selected from the cables for use at a depth which is determined from the top of the overall trench, and not from the toe of the sloped portion. (e) Use of Tables. The members of the thor- trig system that are no be selected using this information are the cross braces, the uprights, and the wales, where wales are re- quired. Minimum sizes of members are speci- iied l't,r use in different types of ,soil. There are six tables of information, two for each soil type. The soil type must first be deter- mined in accordance with the soil classifrca- tion system described In appendix A to sub- part P of part ISZ , Using the appropriate table, the selection o€ the size and spacing of the members is then made. The selection is based on the depth and width of the trench where the members are to be installed and. in most instances, the selection is also based on the horizontal spacing of the crossbraces. Instances where a choice of horizontal spac- ing of crossbracing is available, the hori- zontal spacing of the crossbraces must be chosen by the user before the size of any member can bs determined. When the soil type, he width and depth of the trench, and the horizontal spacing of the crossbraces are known, the size and vertical spacing of the crossbraces, the size and vertical spacing of the wales, and the size and horizontal spac- ing of the uprights can be read from the ap- propriate table. (t) Examples to .Fllustrato the Use of Tables C -- 'I.1 through C-1.3. (i) Example 1. A trench dug in Type A soil is l3 feet deep and five feet wide. From Table C -Id, for acceptable arrange- ments of timber can be used. Arrangetnent #BI Space 4x4 crossbraces at six feet hori- zontally and four feet vertically. Wales are not required. Space 3x8 uprights at six feet horizontally. This arrangement is commonly called "skip shoring." Arrangement #B2 Space 4x0 crossbraces at eight feet hori- zontally and fhur feet vertically.

Member sizes at spacings ocher than in- dicated are to be determined as specified in §1926,652(c). "Design of Protective Systems" 2. When conditions are saturated or sub- merged use Tight Sheeting. Tight Sheeting refers to the use of specially -edged timber planks (e.g., tongue and groove) at least three inches thick, steel sheet piling, or similar construction that when driven or placed in position provide a tight wall to re- sist the lateral pressure of water and to pre- vent the loss of backnll material. Close Sheeting refers to the placement of planks side -by -side allowing as little space as pos- sible between them. 3. All spacing indicated is measured center to center. 4. Wales to be installed with greater di- mension horizontal. 5. If the vertical distance from the center of the lowest crossbrace to the bottom of the trench exceeds two and one-half feet, uprights shall be firmly embedded or a mudaill shall be used. Where uprights are embedded, the vertical distance from the center of the lowest crossbrace to the bot- tom of the trench shall not exceed 36 inches. When mudsills are used, the vertical dis- tance shall not exceed 42 inches. Mudsills are wales that are installed at the toe of the trench side. 0. Trench jacks may be used in lieu of or in combination with timber crossbraces, 7_ Placement cf crossbraces. When the vertical spacing of crossbraces is four feet, place the top crossbrace no more than two feet below the top of the trench. When the vertical spacing of crossbraces is five feet, place the top crossbrace no more than 2.5 feet below the cop of the trench. s1 IlII4] Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor Pt. 1926; Subpt.

(3) Limitation of application. (i) It is not intended that the aluminum hydraulic specification apply to every situa- tiOn that may be experienced in the field. These data were developed to apply to the situations that are most commonly experi- enced in current trenching practice. Sharing systems for use in situations that are not covered by the data in this appendix must be otherwise designed as specified in 51826.652 (c). (11) When any of the following conditions are present, the members specified in the Ta- bles are not considered adequate. In this case, an alternative aluminum hydraulic shoring system or other type o€ protective system must be designed in accordance with § 192€6.652.

The "rabies 13-1.1 and 12--1,2 for vertical shores are used in Type A and 13 soils that do not require sheeting. Type $ soils that may require sheeting, and Type C 5O11,5 that always require sheeting are found in the horizontal wale Tables D-1.3 and D--1.4. The soil type muse first be determined in ac- cordance with the soil classification system described in appendix A to subpart P of part 1826. Using the appropriate table, the selec- tion of the size and spacing of the members is made. The selection is based on the depth and width of the trench where the members are to be installed. hi these tables the vertical spacing is held constant at four feet on center. The tables show the maximum horizontal spacing of cylinders allowed for each size of wale in the water system tables. and in the vertical shore tables, the hydrau- lic cylinder horizontal spacing €s the same as the vertical shore spacing. (f) Example to fliustr-are the Use of the Tables: (I) Example 1: A trench dug in Type A soil is G feet deep and 3 feet wide. From Table D-1.1: Find vertical shores and 2 inch diameter cylinders spaced 8 feet on center (o.c-) horizontally and 4 feet on center fo.c-) vertically. (See Figures I & 3 for typical installations.) (2) Example 2: A trench is dug in Type B soil that does not require sheeting, 13 feet deep and 5 feet wide. From Table p -i.2: Find vertical shores and 2 inch diameter cylinders spaced 6.5 feet o.c. horizontally and 4 feet o.c. vertical€y. (See Figures 1 & 3 for typical installations.) (3) A trench is dug In Type B soil that does not require sheeting, but does experience some minor raveling of the trench face. The 3J5 Pt. 1926, Subpt. P, App. U trench is 16 feet deep and 9 feet wide. From Table D.-1.2: Find vertical shores and 2 inch diameter cylinder (with special oversleeves as designated by footnote #82) spaced 5.5 feet o.C. horizontally and 4 feet o.c. vertically, plywood (per footnote (g(7) to the D -1 Table) should be used behind the shores. (See Fig- ures 2 & 3 for typical installations.) (4) Example 4: A trench is dug in pre- viously disturbed Type B soil, with charac- teristics of a Type C soil, and will require sheeting. The trench is 18 feet deep and 12 feet wide. 8 foot horizontal spacing between cylinders is desired for working space, From Table D-1.3: Find horizontal wale with a sec- tion modulus of 14.0 spaced at 4 feet o.c. vertically and 3 inch diameter cylinder spaced at 9 feet maximum o.c. horizontally. 3x12 timber sheeting is required at close spacing vertically. (See Figure 4 for typical installation.) (5) Example 5: A trench is dug in Type C soil, 9 feet deep and 4 feet wide. Horizontal cylinder spacing in excess of 6 feet is desired for working space. From Table D-1.4: Find horizontal wale with a section modulus of 7.0 and 2 Inch diameter cylinders spaced at 6.5 feet o.c. horizontally. Or find horizontal wale with a 14.0 section modulus and 3 inch diameter cylinder spaced at 10 feet o.c. hori- zontaily. Both wales are spaced 4 foot ac. vertically. 3x12 timber sheeting Is required at close spacing vertically. (See Figure 4 for typical installation.)

The Complainant must furnish his/their name, address and phone number in order to obtain any other information that may be necessary for proper investigation. A written response will be made to a Complainant when investigation is closed if so requested in writing. (b) A contractor who is licensed shall cooperate with any investigation and provide the Board with all relevant information requested by the Board. The failure to cooperate or to timely provide the Board with relevant information as requested may constitute misconduct in the conduct of the contractors business and may subject the contractor to the revocation of the contractors license. (c) The Contractors Licensing Board may delegate to the administrator/investigator the authority to obtain contractor compliance as may be necessary. The administrator/investigator will conduct all investigations in such a manner that would be complimentary to the Licensing Law for Contractors. 26 (d) Any application being denied because of a violation of Ark.

(3) The Board will review the decision of the Committee and hear arguments from the respondent for respondent's counsel and from the counsel for the Committee. No new or additional evidence will be taken. (4) The Board may affirm, reverse or modify the decision of the Committee. (c) Payment of civil penalties.

In the event the civil penalty is not paid within 20 days of the date of the hearing, any amount suspended shall be reinstated and shall become due and payable without any further action of the Board being required. 224-25-10 DEADLINES For any deadline that occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday proclaimed by the State of Arkansas, the time to complete that event shall be extended until the next business day. 224-25-11 BONDS All bonds required to be filed with the Board pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. § 17-25-401 et seq. shall be made by surety companies which have qualified and are authorized to do business in the State of Arkansas. The bonds shall be executed by a resident or nonresident agent, broker or producer licensed by the Arkansas Insurance Commissioner to represent the 27 surety company executing the bond and shall file with the bond the agent's, broker's or producer's power of attorney to demonstrate his authority. 224-25-12 DEFINITIONS (a) Ownership: When the terms HIs own or Its own property is used in the contractors licensing law, it shall mean sole and exclusive right to sell or convey the property. (b) Single-family residences: Single-family residence, as referred to in Arkansas Code Ann. § 17-25-101, as amended, means any project consisting of one but not more than four units constructed for residential occupancy, any project consisting of five or more units is considered multi -family housing. (c) Qualifying party: A person who has passed the appropriate business and law or trade examination. To act as a "qualifying party" a person must be either. (1) a sole owner; (2) a partner of the partnership; (3) an officer of the corporation who is actively engaged in the day to day activities of the company; (4) a member of the Limited Liability Company who is actively engaged in the day to day activities of the company; (5) a partner of the Limited Liability Partnership who is actively engaged in the day to day activities of the company; or (6) a full time employee. (d) Full time employee: A person who is an actual employee of the business, not an independent contractor. The person must work, on average, 30 or more hours a week for the business (1500 hours per year), must not be paid as an independent contractor (not receive a "1099" for his earnings but receive a "W-2" for his earnings). A full time employee is not someone who is hired "job to job" as needed. Other factors to be considered in making this determination include, but are not limited to: whether the business pays for workman's compensation insurance on the individual, whether the business pays payroll taxes on the individual, the amount of control the business has over the activities of the individual, the ownership of the tools used by the individual and, whether the individual maintains his own business separate from the business in question. (e) Construction Management: A process of professional management applied to a construction program, generally from start to finish, for the purpose of controlling time, cost, and quality. Usually the construction management organization links itself to the owner as an agent and thereby places itself in a fiduciary relationship with the owner. Construction management offers a broad range of services encompassing the planning, procurement, construction, and warranty phases of a project. In this relationship, the construction manager can properly represent the owner both to the design professional and to the contractors . 28 DISCLAIMER: Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within this pamphlet.

Date: November 16, 2009 CONTRACT CHANCE ORDER MAYOR'S APPROVAL THE CITY OF FAYETI-EVILLE, ARKANSAS Subject: Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. l with Seven Valleys Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $32,728, for the construction a 36 -inch water main along Township Street. The change order is necessary to stabilize the sub -base of the existing Township Street. k RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 with Seven Valleys Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $32,728, for the construction a 36 -inch water main along Township Street. The change order is necessary to stabilize the sub -base of the existing Township Street. Funds are available within the approved contract contingency. BACKGROUND The total project relocating water and sewer lines is a result of the combined Arkansas Highway Department (AHTD) and City widening of Crossover Road (Hwy 265) between Mission and Joyce, upsizing the existing pipes and connecting a 36" transmission line. Work will include installing a 36" and 24" transmission main along Crossover from Joyce to connect to the existing 24" main on Crossover at Mission and to connect to the existing 36" main on Old Wire Road. This work will complete the eastern portion of the loop that was initially constructed when the southern section of Crossover Road between Mission and Huntsville was widened by the AHTD. This is the first phase of the project and includes the installation of approximately 4,462 feet of 36 -inch ductile iron water main and related facilities along Township Street between Old Wire Road and Crossover Road. DISCUSSION Field conditions for the existing Township Street sub -base are inadequate for proper street restoration. The conditions were observed by both Engineering and Transportation department personnel. It is recommended that twenty-four inches of existing sub -base be removed and replaced with twenty-four inches of compacted hillside material. The change order reflects the costs associated with the recommendation. BUDGET IMPACT This change order increases the contract price by $32,728. A $90,000 contingency was approved with the contract; $57,272 remains after Change Order No. 1.
