City of Fayetteville 113 West Mountain Street Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 Re: City of Fayetteville Bid 15-15 — Construction Kessler Mountain Water Line Recommendation of Award Dear Mr. Beavers: Bids were received for Bid 15-15, Construction Kessler Mountain Water Line, at the City of Fayetteville Purchasing Division at 2:00 p.m. on February 6, 2015. The bids have been checked for accuracy and for compliance with the contract documents. A tabulation of the bids received and Garver's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost is enclosed with this letter. A total of three bids were received on the project as summarized in the table below, along with Garver's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost. As shown in the table below, the low bid was submitted by Goodwin & Goodwin, Inc. of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Base Bid Goodwin & Goodwin, Inc. of $707,007.50 Fort Smith, Arkansas Fochtman Enterprises, Inc. of $806,450.00 Fayetteville, Arkansas Brothers Construction, Inc. of $881,100.00 Van Buren, Arkansas Garver's Opinion of Probable $870,000.00 Construction Cost As stated in Section 010200 — Instruction to .Bidders,, a bid that obviously is unbalanced may be rejected. However, it is also stated that the Owner reserves the right to waive any informalities in bids received whenever such waiver is in its interest. The unit price per cubic yard of Rock Excavation submitted by Goodwin & Goodwin was $0.01 for a total of $7.50. The total for Rock Excavation submitted by Fochtman Enterprises and Brothers Construction was $112,500 and $75,000 respectively, and Garver's total was $112,500. If the total for Rock Excavation submitted by Goodwin & Goodwin was greater than $99,450, than Fochtman Enterprises would have been the low bidder. In addition, Goodwin and Goodwin did not provide a current Certificate of Insurance with their bid as required within the Instructions to Bidders. As discussed via phone on February 9, 2015 with Chris Buntin and Bryan Goodwin, President of Goodwin & Goodwin, the price bid of $0.01 per cubic yard for Mr. Beavers February 9, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Rock Excavation is correct, and change orders for Rock Excavation over the estimated quantity will be assessed at $0.01 per cubic yard. In addition, e-mail correspondence and a signed fax from Goodwin & Goodwin is enclosed, Also, enclosed is the Certificate of Insurance received by Goodwin and Goodwin after bid opening. According to representatives from both the City of Fayetteville (Lynn Hyke) and Springdale Water Utilities (Rick Pulvirenti), they have worked with Goodwin & Goodwin on several projects, and they do good work. However, you must closely observe their work to maintain conformance with the contract documents. Goodwin & Goodwin has not performed any recent work for Rogers, Bentonville, and Garver. Goodwin & Goodwin is currently licensed with the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board, and their last complaint was in 2001, which was closed without any consequence. We believe that the bid submitted by Godwin and Godwin represents a good value for the City of Fayetteville. Contingent upon the City of Fayetteville waiving the bidding informalities discussed herein, we recommend that the construction contract for the Bid 15-15 -- Construction Kessler Mountain Water Line be awarded to Goodwin and Goodwin. If the City of Fayetteville elects to reject the bid submitted by Goodwin and Goodwin, we have no reservations awarding the work to Fochtman Enterprises. Please call me if you have any questions.

He shall be prepared to guarantee to each of his Subcontractors the locations and measurements which they may require for the fitting of their work to all surrounding work. GC.12 KNOWLEDGE OF CONDITIONS The Contractor states that he has examined all the available records and has made a field examination of the site and right-of-way and that he has informed himself about the character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials and other conditions to be encountered;l the quantities in various sections of the work; the character of equipment and facilities needed for the prosecution of the work; the location and suitability of all construction materials; the local labor conditions; and all other matters in connection with the work and services to be performed under this contract.

Water Main Improvements Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road 010800 - 9 14048020 GC.14 PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR The Engineer will prepare (with the required assistance from the Contractor) the application for partial payment. If the bid contains lump sum prices, the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer, upon request, a detailed cost breakdown of the several items of work involved in the lump sum prices. The Engineer will use this cost breakdown to determine the amount due the Contractor as progress payment. A cut-off time shall be established near the last day of the month such as to allow sufficient time for the application to be prepared, approved by the Contractor, and submitted by the Engineer to the Owner by the first day of the successive month. The amount of the payment due to the Contractor shall be determined by the total value of work completed to date, deducting five percent (5%) for retainage (to assure faithful performance of the contract), adding the value of submitted paid invoices covering construction materials, properly stored on the site or in a bonded warehouse, and deducting the amount of all previous payments. If the project has specific phased construction work in which completion can occur on a partial occupancy, the five percent (5%) retainage value shall be in direct proportion to that phase or part of the capital improvement project. Any proportional retainage withheld in this manner shall be released within thirty (30) days of completion of that phase of the project. The total value of work completed to date shall be based on the estimated quantities of work completed and on the unit and lump sum prices contained in the Proposal. The value of materials properly stored on the site or in a bonded warehouse shall be based upon the estimated quantities of such materials and the invoice prices. Copies of paid invoices, covering construction materials for which material payments are made, shall be furnished to the Engineer before such material payments are made. Note: It has been the policy of the Owner to make payments for properly stored materials/equipment based upon invoice price and allow the Contractor to submit >f aid invoices within 30 days (or the next partial payment period). If paid invoices are not provided within the time allowed, then the materials/equipment so paid for will be removed from the next partial payment. Monthly or partial payments made by the Owner to the Contractor are monies advanced for the purpose of assisting the Contractor to expedite the work of construction. All material and complete work covered by such monthly or partial payments shall remain the property of the Contractor, and he shall be responsible for the care and protection of all materials and work upon which payments have been made. Such payments shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Owner to require the fulfillment of all terms of the Contract and the delivery of all improvements embraced in this Contract complete and satisfactory to the Owner in all details. GC 14.1 Withholding Payments The Owner may withhold from any payment otherwise due the Contractor so much as may be necessary to protect the Owner and if it so elects may also withhold any amounts due from the Contractor to any Subcontractors or material dealers, for work performed or material furnished by them. The foregoing provisions shall be construed solely for the benefit of the Owner and will not require the Owner to determine or adjust any claims or disputes between the Contractor and his Subcontractors or material dealers, or to withhold any monies for their protection unless the Owner elects to do so. The failure or refusal of the Owner to withhold any monies from the Contractor shall not impair the obligations of any Surety or Sureties under any bond or bonds furnished under this Contract. Such withholding may also occur as a result of the Contractor's failure or refusal to prosecute the work with such diligence as will insure its completion within the time specified in these Contract Documents, or as modified as provided in these Contract Documents, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any applicable regulations promulgated by the U.S. Government or any other Government agencies.

The total number of the final payment due the Contractor under this Contract shall be the amount computed as described above less all previous payments. All prior payments shall be subject to correction in the final payment. Final payment to the Contractor shall be made within thirty (30) days after the construction contract has been completed, subject to his furnishing the Owner with a release in satisfactory form of all claims against the Owner arising under and by virtue of his Contract, other than such claims, if any, as may be specifically excepted by the Contractor from the operation and the release as provided under the section entitled DISPUTES under GENERAL CONDITIONS. The Owner, before paying the final estimate, may require the Contractor to furnish releases or receipts from all Subcontractors having performed any work and all persons having supplied materials, equipment (installed on the Project), and services to the Contractor, if the Owner deems the same necessary in order to protect its interest. The Owner, however, may, if it deems such action advisable, make payment in part or in full to the Contractor without requiring the furnishing of such releases or receipts and any payments so made shall not impair the obligations of any Surety or Sureties furnished under this Contract. Withholding of any amount due the Owner under the section entitled LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DELAY under GENERAL CONDITIONS, shall be deducted from the payments due the Contractor. All equipment warranties and general guarantee shall become effective for one year upon date of final acceptance of the completed project by the Owner.

If the applicable unit prices are contained in the Proposal (established as a result of either a unit price or a Supplemental Schedule of Unit Prices) the Owner may order the Contractor to proceed with desired changes in the work, the value of such changes to be determined by the measured quantities involved and the applicable unit and lump sum prices specified in the Contract; provided that in case of a unit price Contract the net value of all changes does not increase or decrease the original total amount shown in the Agreement by more than twenty-five (25) percent. If applicable unit prices are not contained in the Unit Price Schedule as described above or if the total net change increases or decreases the total Contract price more than twenty-five (25) percent, the Owner shall, before ordering the Contractor to proceed with a desired change, request an itemized Proposal from him covering the work involved in the change after which the procedure shall be as follows: (1) If the Proposal is acceptable the Owner will prepare the Change Order in accordance therewith for acceptance by the Contractor and (2) If the Proposal is not acceptable and prompt agreement between the two (2) parties cannot be reached, the Owner may order the Contractor to proceed with the work on a Force Account basis, under which the net cost shall be the sum of the actual costs that follow: (A) Labor, including foremen; (B) Materials entering permanently into the work; (C) The ownership or rental cost of construction plant and equipment during the time of use on the extra work; (D) Power and consumable supplies for the operation of power equipment; (E) Insurance; (F) Social Security and old age and unemployment contributions.

And in case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall be entitled to receive the difference. And in case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the Owner, on demand from said Owner or Engineer of the amount so due.

Amity Road, Suite 300 Conway, Arkansas 72032 1 Tel.: 501/513-4470 Fax: 501/513-4480 September 5, 2014 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed tl dated August 29, 2014, regarding the proposed water line in County, Arkansas. Our comments are submitted in accordan (87 Stat. 884, as amended 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Interior information supplied in your letter e City of Fayetteville, Washington with the Endangered Species Act The following federally listed threatened and endangered species are known to occur in this region: Ozark Big -eared Bat (Corynorhinus townsendii ingens), Missouri Bladderpod (Physaria filiformis), Gray Bat (Myotis grisescens), Indiana Bat (Myotis soda/is), Benton County Cave Crayfish (Cambarus aculabrum), Ozark Cavefish (Amblyopsis rosae), Neosho Mucket (Lampsilis rafinesqueana), Rabbitsfoot (Quadrula c_vlindrica cylindrica), Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), and proposed endangered Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis). In addition, the federally protected Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is also known to occur in this region. The Arkansas Darter (Etheostoma cragini), a federal candidate species, also occurs in this region. The Illinois River provides critical habitat for the Neosho Mucket. The proposed designation of critical habitat in the Illinois River for Neosho Mucket considers physical or biological features essential to the conservation of these species. These include, but arc not limited to: 1. Space for individual and population growth and for normal behavior; 2. Food, water, air, light, minerals, or other nutritional or physiological requirements; and 3. Sites for breeding, reproduction, or rearing; and Primary constituent elements are those specific elements of the physical or biological features that provide for a species' life history processes and are essential to the conservation of these species. Based on our current knowledge of the physical or biological features and habitat characteristics required to sustain life history processes for the Neosho Mucket, the primary constituent elements specific to these species are: Water Main Improvements 010940-1 I 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road I. Primary Constituent Element 1— Geomorphically stable river channels and banks (channels that maintain lateral dimensions, longitudinal profiles, and sinuosity patterns over time without an aggrading or degrading bed elevation) with habitats that support a diversity of freshwater mussel and native fish (such as, stable riffles, sometimes with runs, and mid —channel island habitats that provide flow refuges consisting of gravel and sand substrates with low to moderate amounts of fine sediment and attached filamentous algae). 2. Primary Constituent Element 2— A hydrologic flow regime (the severity, frequency, duration, and seasonality of discharge over time) necessary to maintain benthic habitats where the species are found and to maintain connectivity of rivers with the floodplain, allowing the exchange of nutrients and sediment for maintenance of the mussel's and fish host's habitat, food availability, spawning habitat for native fishes, and the ability for newly transformed juveniles to settle and become established in their habitats. 3. Primary Constituent Element 3— Water and sediment quality (including, but not limited to, conductivity, hardness, turbidity, temperature, pH, ammonia, heavy metals, and chemical constituents) necessary to sustain natural physiological processes for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages. 4. Primary Constituent Element 4— The presence and abundance (currently unknown) of fish hosts necessary for recruitment of the Neosho mucket and rabbitsfoot. The occurrence of natural fish assemblages, reflected by fish species richness, relative abundance, and community composition, for each inhabited river or creek will serve as an indication of appropriate presence and abundance of fish hosts until appropriate host fish can be identified. 5. Primary Constituent Element 5— Either no competitive or predaceous invasive (nonnative) species, or such species in quantities low enough to have minimal effect on survival of freshwater mussels. Sediment and/or nutrient transport from the proposed project location may have direct, indirect, and/or cumulative effects to mussels, fish hosts, and/or their habitat(s). The effects of sedimentation and nutrients (e.g., ammonia, etc.) on mussels, fish, and their habitats are well documented in the scientific literature. Adverse effects associated with sedimentation and nutrification from all phases of construction activities may be minimized and/or alleviated through proper implementation and maintenance of erosion control best management practices and maintaining vegetative buffers. Buffer width is dependent upon slope, vegetation type, and soil types. The Service can provide additional technical assistance on appropriate vegetative buffer widths upon request. The following best management practices (BMPs) do not override other BMPs that may have been specified to use from other sources, but are in addition to those instructions. Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs should be implemented for all construction projects within karst landscapes. BMPs should include filter fences, straw bales, interceptor dikes and swales, sediment traps, ditch checks, detention basins, mulching, seeding, and/or revegetation as appropriate. Mats or netting should be applied on steep slopes and stream banks. Erosion and sediment control measures should be sized to handle at least the 25 year flood and 24 -hour storm event. Erosion and Water Main Improvements Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road 010940-2 14048020 • I S1 sediment control BMP's should ' be implemented to prevent sediment and contaminants entering groundwater. from It is important that construction plans reduce erosion and sedimentation into streams and karst features by: • Identifying areas with potential for erosion problems prior to construction initiation. • Avoiding wetlands and low lying areas. • Restoring steep embankments with seed, mulch, fertilizer, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences, straw bales, matting, and sediment traps. Soil stabilization immediately after earth work is complete is critical. • Restoring steep approaches to stream crossings by seeding, mulching, fertilizing, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt filter fences, ditch checks, straw bales, matting, and sediment traps. It is critical that restoration be implemented immediately after construction. • On approaches to stream crossings, drainage control structures should be located at the top and base of the slope/bank. Runoff should be routed to stable slopes on either side of the right of way, or routed via temporary conveyance structures to the base of the approach slope where it can infiltrate into the stream bank and eventually seep back to the channel. I Construction in Sensitive Areas As the true extent of the underground environment is difficult to clearly delineate, undiscovered karst features; such as cave openings, sinkholes, and underground passages may occur on or near a project site, even in previously developed areas. Therefore, the Service recommends the following precautionary measures be taken to avoid impacts to groundwater and sensitive or endangered species which may inhabit karst features not previously surveyed. I • Survey existing and any new right-of-ways for karst features such as caves, sinkholes, losing streams, and springs. • Establish a natural area of 300 feet or greater around any cave, sinkhole, losing stream, or spring found during the survey (or during any aspect of project implementation). The Service should be contacted for further evaluation to determine if caves are used by sensitive or federally listed species. I If a cave is used by sensitive or federally listed species, the Service may request that the cave be mapped to determine if additional openings or passages may be affected by the project. The Service may recommend modifications of the proposed project to allow natural areas to be established. Incorporation of natural areas may be necessary to avoid impacts. Water Main Improvements Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road 010940-3 14048020 • If caves or other openings are encountered during construction, the Service requests that work efforts cease within 300 feet of the opening. The opening should be adequately marked and protected from work activities, and the Service should be contacted immediately. No fill materials should be placed into the opening until Service or Service approved personnel have the opportunity to inventory the site. • The Service should assess caves located prior to or during construction for sensitive/endangered species and provide recommendations before activities proceed. • No blasting should be permitted in the vicinity of any known karst feature without previous consultation. Additional measures may be required for construction near sensitive areas including stream channels and karst features. Care should be taken when working around streams and karst features to prevent unnecessary damage to or removal of vegetation. If a cave or fracture is breeched or surface water is rerouted into a karst feature, all activities should cease and the Service should be contacted to assess the situation and provide further consultation before proceeding. Chemical Controls Herbicides, fertilizers, vehicle maintenance fluids, petroleum products, and drilling fluids should be discarded, stored, and/or changed in staging areas established at least 300 vegetated feet from streams or karst features. Spill response protocols and kits should be maintained on site to address these concerns. Staging areas should be at least 300 feet away from streams, wetlands, and karst features. All streams, wetlands, and karst features adjacent to disturbed areas should be protected by the use of silt fence, straw bales, and other BMPs necessary to prevent sediment from entering water bodies. A combination of several measures may be necessary to decrease damage at stream crossings. In streams with enough flow, temporary in -stream settling ponds should be used to catch sediment generated by construction. Sediment should be removed as soon as construction is completed. For smaller streams or where appropriate, water could be bypassed through construction areas by the use of flume pipes, pumps, or coffer dams. Stream can be bypassed using directional drilling techniques, as discussed later. Streams and karst areas should be restored and stabilized immediately following construction activities. Native plants, mats, netting, and other BMPs should be used to stabilize banks. Instream deflectors and anchored logs should be used in high velocity streams to protect vulnerable banks and allow for reestablishment of vegetation. Riprap revetment should also be used, if necessary, to help stabilize slopes in areas of high velocity stream flows. The use of riprap should, however, be minimized. Rock typical of the local geology should be used if available. Monitoring of BMP performance in critical areas, particularly at sensitive stream crossings and stream approach slopes should be conducted and documented on a routine basis prior to and after storms during construction and operation. Based on monitoring, additional BMPs or other improvements may be necessary to insure minimization of impact. Water Main Improvements 010940-4 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road All efforts should be made to minimize stream alterations which could impact water quality and fish and wildlife resources. Construction along streams should not take place during fish spawning seasons if possible. Stormwater Stormwater concerns occur during construction and after the site is developed and stabilized. Threats to groundwater shift from sediment and fuel/oil/grease, to lawn chemicals, oil and grease from personal vehicles, brake dust, chip seals, roof tar, and other household contaminants. Plans should be made to address post construction stormwater contaminants. The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency oversee and permit stormwater runoff. In 2003, the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission developed the Northwest Arkansas Stormwater Quality Best Management Practices Preliminary Guide Manual for community use. The manual was developed with six control measures including public education and outreach, public participation and involvement, illicit discharge, detection and elimination, construction site runoff control, post -construction runoff control, pollution prevention, and good housekeeping. When open land is developed the hydrology of the site completely changes. Possible contaminants associated with development include sediment, nutrients, microbes, organic matter, toxic chemicals, trash, and debris. Each of these together or separately can pollute groundwater. Once contaminants leave the site and enter drainage within a groundwater recharge zone, whatever, the water was carrying is now contributing to groundwater contamination and threatens rare and endangered karst animals. The Service recommends that potential roost trees not be removed between April 1 and October 15 because Indiana bats roost in trees throughout the Karst region and northeast Arkansas during these dates. See the website (www.fws.gov/akansas-esj for the Indiana bat summer survey guidelines. Potential roost trees include live trees and snags > 5"DBH (diameter at breast height) that have exfoliating bark, cracks, crevices and/or hollows. During the summer, Northern Long-eared Bats (NLEB) typically roost singly or in colonies in cavities, underneath bark, crevices, or hollows of both live and dead trees and/or snags (typically 23 inches diameter breast height). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat seems opportunistic in selecting roosts, using tree species based on presence of cavities or crevices or presence of peeling bark. It has also been occasionally found roosting in structures like barns and sheds (particularly when suitable tree roosts are unavailable). They forage for insects in upland and lowland woodlots and tree lined corridors. During the winter, NLEB predominately hibernate in caves and abandoned mine portals. Although species proposed for listing are not afforded protection under the ESA, when a species is listed, the prohibitions against jeopardizing its continued existence and unauthorized "take" are effective 30 days after publication of the final listing rule. Therefore, if suitable NLEB habitat is present within the proposed project area, we recommend further coordination with our office to avoid potential project delays should the species be listed. Additional information regarding NLEB and conference procedures can be found at:1 Water Main Improvements 010940-5 I 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road The comments herein are for the sole purpose of providing technical assistance to the action agency or for individual pre -project planning assistance.

TO CATO SPRINGS ROAD Unnamed Tributaries to Cato Springs Branch and Adjacent Wetlands Section 30, T. 16 N., R. 30 W. October 2014 Sheet 2 of 7 010960-3 Nationwide Permit No. 12 Utility Line Activities. Activities required for the construction, maintenance, repair, and removal of utility lines and associated facilities in waters of the United States, provided the activity does not result in the loss of greater than 1/2 -acre of waters of the United States for each single and complete project. Utility lines: This NWP authorizes the construction, maintenance, or repair of utility lines, including outfall and intake structures, and the associated excavation, backfill, or bedding for the utility lines, in all waters of the United States, provided there is no change in pre -construction contours. A "utility line" is defined as any pipe or pipeline for the transportation of any gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substance, for any purpose, and any cable, line, or wire for the transmission for any purpose of electrical energy, telephone, and telegraph messages, and radio and television communication. The term "utility line" does not include activities that drain a water of the United States, such as drainage tile or french drains, but it does apply to pipes conveying drainage from another area. Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily sidecast into waters of the United States for no more than three months, provided the material is not placed in such a manner that it is dispersed by currents or other forces. The district engineer may extend the period of temporary side casting for no more than a total of 180 days, where appropriate. In wetlands, the top 6 to 12 inches of the trench should normally be backfilled with topsoil from the trench. The trench cannot be constructed or backfilled in such a manner as to drain waters of the United States (e.g., backfilling with extensive gravel layers, creating a french drain effect). Any exposed slopes and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody. Utility line substations: This NWP authorizes the construction, maintenance, or expansion of substation facilities associated with a power line or utility line in non -tidal waters of the United States, provided the activity, in combination with all other activities included in one single and complete project, does not result in the loss of greater than 1/2 -acre of waters of the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges into non -tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters of the United States to construct, maintain, or expand substation facilities. Foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors: This NWP authorizes the construction or maintenance of foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors in all waters of the United States, provided the foundations are the minimum size necessary and separate footings for each tower leg (rather than a larger single pad) are used where feasible. Access roads: This NWP authorizes the construction of access roads for the construction and maintenance of utility lines, including overhead power lines and utility line substations, in non - tidal waters of the United States, provided the activity, in combination with all other activities included in one single and complete project, does not cause the loss of greater than 1/2 -acre of non -tidal waters of the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges into non -tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters for access roads. Access roads must be the minimum width necessary (see Note 2, below). Access roads must be constructed so that the length of the road minimizes any adverse effects on waters of the United States and must be as near as possible to pre -construction contours and elevations (e.g., at grade corduroy roads or geotextile/gravel roads). Access roads constructed above pre -construction contours and elevations in waters of the United States must be properly bridged or culverted to maintain surface flows. This NWP may authorize utility lines in or affecting navigable waters of the United States even if there is no associated discharge of dredged or fill material (See 33 CFR Part 322). Overhead utility lines constructed over section 10 waters and utility lines that are routed in or under section 10 waters without a discharge of dredged or fill material require a section 10 permit. This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work necessary to conduct the utility line activity. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal downstream flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary structures, work, and discharges, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction activities, access fills, or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and be placed in a manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre -construction elevations. The areas affected by temporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate. Notification: The permittee must submit a pre -construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity if any of the following criteria are met: (1) the activity involves mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland for the utility line right-of-way; (2) a section 10 permit is required; (3) the utility line in waters of the United States, excluding overhead lines, exceeds 500 feet; (4) the utility line is placed within a jurisdictional area (i.e., water of the United States), and it runs parallel to or along a stream bed that is within that jurisdictional area; (5) discharges that result in the loss of greater than 1/10 -acre of waters of the United States; (6) permanent access roads are constructed above grade in waters of the United States for a distance of more than 500 feet; or (7) permanent access roads are constructed in waters of the United States with impervious materials, (See general condition 31.) (Sections 10 and 404) Note 1: Where the proposed utility line is constructed or installed in navigable waters of the United States (i.e., section 10 waters) within the coastal United States, the Great Lakes, and United States territories, copies of the pre -construction notification and NWP verification will be sent by the Corps to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), for charting the utility line to protect navigation. Note 2: Access roads used for both construction and maintenance may be authorized, provided they meet the terms and conditions of this NWP, Access roads used solely for construction of the utility line must be removed upon completion of the work, in accordance with the requirements for temporary fills. Note 3: Pipes or pipelines used to transport gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substances over navigable waters of the United States are considered to be bridges, not utility lines, and may require a permit from the U.S. Coast Guard pursuant to Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. However, any discharges of Water Main Improvements 010960-4 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road S S dredged or fill material into waters of the United States associated with such pipelines will require a section 404 permit (see NWP 15). Note 4: For overhead utility lines authorized by this NWP, a copy of the PCN and NWP verification will be provided to the Department of Defense Siting Clearinghouse, which will evaluate potential effects on military activities. I. Nationwide Permit General Conditions: te: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the following general conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case -specific conditions imposed by the division engineer or district engineer. Prospective permittees should contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine if regional conditions have been imposed on an NWP. Prospective permittees should also contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine the status of Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification and/or Coastal Zone Management Act consistency for an NWP. Every person who may wish to obtain permit authorization under one or more NWPs, or who is currently relying on an existing or prior permit authorization under one or more NWPs, has been and is on notice that all of the provisions of 33 CFR §§ 330.1 through 330.6 apply to every NWP authorization. Note especially 33 CFR § 330.5 relating to the modification, suspension, or revocation of any NWP authorization. 1. Navigation. (a) No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation. (b) Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense on authorized facilities in navigable waters of the United States. (c) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration. 2. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. All permanent and temporary crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably culverted, bridged, or otherwise designed and constructed to maintain low flows to sustain the movement of those aquatic species. 3. Spawning Areas. Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., through excavation, fill, or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized. Water Main Improvements Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road 4. M stow Bird Breeding Areas. Activities in waters of the United States that serve as breeding areas for migratory birds must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. 5. Shellfsh1Beds. No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish papulations, unless the activity is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWPs 4 and 48, or is a shellfish seeding or habitat restoration activity authorized by NWP 27. ! 6. Suitable Material. No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.). Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see Section' 307 of the Clean Water Act). 7. Water Sypp_ly-lntakes. No activity may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake, except where the activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank stabilization. 8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects to the aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. 9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the pre -construction course, condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream channelization and storm water management activities, except as provided below. The activity must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must not restrict or impede the passage of normal or high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to impound water or manage high flows. The activity may alter the pre -construction course, condition, capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment (e.g., stream i restoration or relocation activities). 10. Fills Within 100 -Year Floodplains. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or local floodplain management requirements. 11. Equinnient. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other measures must be taken to minimize sail disturbance. 12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as well as any, work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform work within waters of the United States during periods of low -flow or no -flow. 13. Rrnavbi of Temporary Fills. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre -construction elevations.IThe affected areas must be revegetated, as appropriate. 14. Proper Maintenance. Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, including maintenance to ensure public safety 1 010960-5 14048020 and compliance with applicable NWP general conditions, as well as any activity -specific conditions added by the district engineer to an NWP authorization. I5..$ingle and Complete Project. The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP cannot be used more than once for the same single and complete project. 16. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the appropriate Federal agency with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation or study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land management agency responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River or study river (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 17. Tribal Righta. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to, reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights. 18. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to directly or indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. No activity is authorized under any NWP which "may affect" a listed species or critical habitat, unless Section 7 consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity has been completed. (b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of the ESA. Federal permittees must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will review the documentation and determine whether it is sufficient to address ESA compliance for the NWP activity, or whether additional ESA consultation is necessary. (c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre -construction notification to the district engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or if the project is located in designated critical habitat, and shall not begin work on the activity until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. For activities that might affect Federally -listed endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat, the pre -construction notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened species that might be affected by the proposed work or that utilize the designated critical habitat that might be affected by the proposed work. The district engineer will determine whether the proposed activity "may affect" or will have "no effect" to listed species and designated critical habitat and will notify the non -Federal applicant of the Corps' determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre -construction notification. In cases where the non -Federal applicant has identified listed species or critical habitat that might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, and has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until the Corps has provided notification the proposed activities will have "no effect" on listed species or critical habitat, or until Section 7 consultation has been completed. If the non -Federal applicant has not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps. (d) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS the district engineer may add species -specific regional endangered species conditions to the NWPs. (e) Authorization of an activity by a NWP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened or endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the U.S. FWS or the NMFS, The Endangered Species Act prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to take a listed species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word "harm" in the definition of "take" means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or sheltering. (f) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the U.S. FWS and NMFS or their world wide web pages at http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov//iipac and http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.html respectively. 19. Migratory Birds and nd GoldcriEagles. The permittee is responsible for obtaining any "take" permits required under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's regulations governing compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The permittee should contact the appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine if such "take" permits are required for a particular activity. 20. Historic Properties. (a) In cases where the district engineer determines that the activity may affect properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places, the activity is not authorized, until the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied. (b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Federal permittees must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will review the documentation and determine whether it is sufficient to address section 106 compliance for the NWP activity, or whether additional section 106 consultation is necessary. (c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre -construction notification to the district engineer if the authorized activity may have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including previously unidentified properties. For such activities, the pre - construction notification must state which historic properties may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic properties. Assistance regarding information on the Water Main Improvements 010960-6 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road location of or potential for the presence of historic resources can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)). When reviewing pre - construction notifications, district engineers will comply with the current procedures for addressing the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The district engineer shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate identification efforts, which may include background research, consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and field survey. Based on the information submitted and these efforts, the district engineer shall determine whether the proposed activity has the potential to cause an effect on the historic properties. Where the non -Federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the activity may have the potential to cause effects and so notified the Corps, the non -Federal applicant shall not begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to cause effects or that consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA has been completed, (d) The district engineer will notify the prospective permittee within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre -construction notification whether NHPA Section 106 consultation is required. Section 106 consultation is not required when the Corps determines that the activity does not have the potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR §800.3(a)). If NHPA section 106 consultation is required and will occur, the district engineer will notify the non -Federal applicant that he or she cannot begin work until Section 106 consultation is completed. If the non -Federal applicant has not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification from the Corps. (e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section I l0k of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470h -2(k)) prevents the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant who, with intent to avoid the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA, has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic property to which the permit would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant adverse effect to occur, unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse effect created or permitted by the applicant, If circumstances justify granting the assistance, the Corps is required to notify the ACHP and provide documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of damage to the integrity of any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation must include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest to those tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on historic properties. 21. Discoyry of Previously Unknown Remains andArtifacts. If you discover any previously unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts while accomplishing the activity authorized by this permit, you must immediately notify the district engineer of what you have found, and to the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts until the required coordination has been completed. The district engineer will initiate the Federal, Tribal and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. 22, Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAH- managed marine sanctuaries and marine monuments, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. The district engineer may designate, after notice and opportunity for public comment, additional waters officially designated by a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance, such as outstanding national resource waters or state natural heritage sites. The district engineer may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and opportunity for public comment. (a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are nbt authorized by NWPs 7, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, and 52 for any activity within, or directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters. (b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, and 38, notification is required in accordance with general condition 3!, for any activity proposed in the designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The district engineer may authorize activities under these NWPs only after it is determined that the impacts to the critical resource waters will be no more than minimal. 23. Mitiatirt. The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate and practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal: (a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on site). (b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating for resource losses) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. (c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one -for -one ratio will be required for all wetland losses that exceed 1/10 -acre and require pre - construction notification, unless the district engineer determines in writing that! either some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the adverse effects of the proposed activity are minimal, and provides a project -specific waiver of this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10 -acre or less that require pre - construction notification, the district engineer may determine on a case -by -case basis that compensatory mitigation is required to ensure that the activity results in minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. Compensatory mitigation projects provided to offset losses of aquatic resources must comply with the applicable provisions of 33 CFR part 332. (1) The prospective permittee is responsible for proposing an appropriate compensatory mitigation option if compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure that the activity results in minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. (2) Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced, wetland restoration should be the first compensatory mitigation option considered. (3) If permittee-responsible mitigation is the proposed option, the prospective permittee is responsible for submitting a mitigation plan. Water Main Improvements Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road 010960-7 I 14048020 A conceptual or detailed mitigation plan may be used by the district engineer to make the decision on the NWP verification request, but a final mitigation plan that addresses the applicable requirements of 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) — (14) must be approved by the district engineer before the permittee begins work in waters of the United States, unless the district engineer determines that prior approval of the final mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely completion of the required compensatory mitigation (see 33 CFR 332.3(k)(3)). (4) If mitigation bank or in -lieu fee program credits are the proposed option, the mitigation plan only needs to address the baseline conditions at the impact site and the number of credits to be provided. (5) Compensatory mitigation requirements (e.g., resource type and amount to be provided as compensatory mitigation, site protection, ecological performance standards, monitoring requirements) may be addressed through conditions added to the NWP authorization, instead of components of a compensatory mitigation plan. (d) For losses of streams or other open waters that require pre - construction notification, the district engineer may require compensatory mitigation, such as stream rehabilitation, enhancement, or preservation, to ensure that the activity results in minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. (e) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits of the NWPs. For example, if an NWP has an acreage limit of 1/2 -acre, it cannot be used to authorize any project resulting in the loss of greater than 1/2 -acre of waters of the United States, even if compensatory mitigation is provided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However, compensatory mitigation can and should be used, as necessary, to ensure that a project already meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the minimal impact requirement associated with the NWPs. (f) Compensatory mitigation plans for projects in or near streams or other open waters will normally include a requirement for the restoration or establishment, maintenance, and legal protection (e.g., conservation easements) of riparian areas next to open waters. In some cases, riparian areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required. Riparian areas should consist of native species. The width of the required riparian area will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally, the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the district engineer may require slightly wider riparian areas to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns. If it is not possible to establish a riparian area on both sides of a stream, or if the waterbody is a lake or coastal waters, then restoring or establishing a riparian area along a single bank or shoreline may be sufficient. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the district engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian areas and/or wetlands compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis. In cases where riparian areas are determined to be the most appropriate form of compensatory mitigation, the district engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory mitigation for wetland losses. (g) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in -lieu fee programs, or separate permittee-responsible mitigation. For activities resulting in the loss of marine or estuarine resources, permittee- responsible compensatory mitigation may be environmentally preferable if there are no mitigation banks or in -lieu fee programs in the area that have marine or estuarine credits available for sale or transfer to the permittee. For permittee-responsible mitigation, the special conditions of the NWP verification must clearly indicate the party or parties responsible for the implementation and performance of the compensatory mitigation project, and, if required, its long-term management. (h) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently adversely affected, such as the conversion of a forested or scrub -shrub wetland to a.herbaceous wetland in a permanently maintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may be required to reduce the adverse effects of the project to the minimal level. 24. Safety of impoundment Structures. To ensure that all impoundment structures are safely designed, the district engineer may require non -Federal applicants to demonstrate that the structures comply with established state dam safety criteria or have been designed by qualified persons. The district engineer may also require documentation that the design has been independently reviewed by similarly qualified persons, and appropriate modifications made to ensure safety. 25. Water Quality. Where States and authorized Tribes, or EPA where applicable, have not previously certified compliance of an NWP with CWA Section 401, individual 401 Water Quality Certification must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). The district engineer or State or Tribe may require additional water quality management measures to ensure that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of water quality. 26. Coastal Zone Management. In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state coastal zone management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management consistency concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must occur (see 33 CFR 330.4(d)). The district engineer or a State may require additional measures to ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state coastal zone management requirements. 27. Regional and Case -By -Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions that may have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific conditions added by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its section 401 Water Quality Certification, or by the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination. 28. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project is prohibited, except when the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by the NWPs does not exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under NWP 14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1/3 - acre. 29. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications. If the permittee sells the property associated with a nationwide permit verification, the permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the Water Main Improvements 010960-8 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road new owner by submitting a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the nationwide permit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain the following statement and signature: "When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in existence at the time the property is transferred, the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit, including any special conditions, will continue to be binding on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer of this nationwide permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms and conditions, have the transferee sign and date below." I •(Transferee) i• w (Date) 30. Compliance Certification. Each permittee who receives an NWP verification letter from the Corps must provide a signed certification documenting completion of the authorized activity and any required compensatory mitigation. The success of any required permittee- responsible mitigation, including the achievement of ecological performance standards, will be addressed separately by the district engineer. The Corps will provide the permittee the certification document with the NWP verification letter. The certification document will include: (a) A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the NWP authorization, including any general, regional, or activity -specific conditions; (b) A statement that the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions. if credits from a mitigation,bank or in -lieu fee program are used to satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements, the certification must include the documentation required by 33 CFR 332.3(1)(3) to confirm that the permittee secured the appropriate number and resource type of credits; and (c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation. 31. Pre -Construction Notification. (a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective permittee must notify the district engineer by submitting a pre -construction notification (PCN) as early as possible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 calendar days of the date of receipt and, if the PCN is determined to be incomplete, notify the prospective permittee within that 30 day period to request the additional information necessary to make the PCN complete. The request must specify the information needed to make the PCN complete. As a general rule, district engineers will request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. However, if the prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not commence until all of the requested information has been received by the district engineer. The prospective permittee shall not begin the activity until either: (1) He or she is notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP with any special conditions imposed bythe district or division engineer; or (2) 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer's receipt of the complete PCN and the prospective permittee has not received written notice from the district or division engineer. However, if the permittee was required to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 18 that listed species or critical habitat might be affected or in the vicinity of the project, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition 20 that the activity may have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the permittee cannot begin the activity until receiving written notification from the Corps that there is "no effect" on listed species or "no potential to cause effects" on historic properties, or that any consultation required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been completed. IAlso, work cannot begin under NWPs 21, 49, or 50 until the permittee has received written approval from the Corps. lithe proposed activity requires a written waiver to exceed specified limits of an N WPI the permittee may not begin the activity until the district engineer issues the waiver. if the district or division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that an individual permit is required within 45 calends i days of receipt of a complete PCN, the permittee cannot begin the activity until an individual permit has been obtained. Subsequently, the permittee's right to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in accordance with the procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2). (b) Contents of Pre -Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include the following information: (1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee; (2) Location of the proposed project; (3) A description of the proposed project; the project's purpose; direct and indirect adverse environmental effects the project would cause, including the anticipated amount of loss of water of the United States expected to result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or other appropriate unit of measure; any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any related activity. The description should be sufficiently detailed to allow the district engineer toldetermine that the adverse effects of the project will be minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation. Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the project and when provided results in a quicker decision. Sketches should contain sufficient detail to provide an illustrative description of the proposed activity (e.g., a conceptual plan), but do not need to be detailed engineering plans); (4) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such as lakes and ponds, and perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. The permittee may ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters on the project site) but there may be a delay if the Corps does the delineation) especially if the project site is large or contains many waters of the United States. Furthermore, the 45 day period will not start until the delineation has been submitted to or completed by the Corps, as appropriate; Water Main Improvements Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road 010960-9 1 14048020 (5) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1/10 - acre of wetlands and a PCN is required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied, or explaining why the adverse effects are minimal and why compensatory mitigation should not be required. As an alternative, the prospective permittee may submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan. (6) If any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or if the project is located in designated critical habitat, for non -Federal applicants the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species that might be affected by the proposed work or utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. Federal applicants must provide documentation demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act; and (7) For an activity that may affect a historic property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places, for non -Federal applicants the PCN must state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. Federal applicants must provide documentation demonstrating compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. (c) Form of Pre -Construction Notification: The standard individual permit application form (Form ENG 4345) may be used, but the completed application form must clearly indicate that it is a PCN and must include all of the information required in paragraphs (b)(1) through (7) of this general condition. A letter containing the required information may also be used. (d) Agency Coordination: (1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state agencies concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and the need for mitigation to reduce the project's adverse environmental effects to a minimal level. (2) For all NWP activities that require pre -construction notification and result in the loss of greater than l /2 -acre of waters of the United States, for NWP 21, 29, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 50, 51, and 52 activities that require pre -construction notification and will result in the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of intermittent and ephemeral stream bed, and for all NWP 48 activities that require pre -construction notification, the district engineer will immediately provide (e.g., via e-mail, facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner) a copy of the complete PCN to the appropriate Federal or state offices (U.S, FWS, state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) or Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO), and, if appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception ofNWP 37, these agencies will have 10 calendar days from the date the material is transmitted to telephone or fax the district engineer notice that they intend to provide substantive, site -specific comments. The comments must explain why the agency believes the adverse effects will be more than minimal. If so contacted by an agency, the district engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the pre - construction notification. The district engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the specified time frame concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs, including the need for mitigation to ensure the net adverse environmental effects to the aquatic environment of the proposed activity are minimal. The district engineer will provide no response to the resource agency, except as provided below. The district engineer will indicate in the administrative record associated with each pre -construction notification that the resource agencies' concerns were considered. For NWP 37, the emergency watershed protection and rehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property or economic hardship will occur. The district engineer will consider any comments received to decide whether the NWP 37 authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR 330,5. (3) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the district engineer will provide a response to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation recommendations, as required by Section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. (4) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps with either electronic files or multiple copies of pre -construction notifications to expedite agency coordination. District Engineer's Decision: I . In reviewing the PCN for the proposed activity, the district engineer will determine whether the activity authorized by the NWP will result in more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the public interest. For a linear project, this determination will include an evaluation of the individual crossings to determine whether they individually satisfy the terms and conditions of the NWP(s), as well as the cumulative effects caused by all of the crossings authorized by NWP. If an applicant requests a waiver of the 300 linear foot limit on impacts to intermittent or ephemeral streams or of an otherwise applicable limit, as provided for in NWPs 13, 21, 29, 36, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 50, 51 or 52, the district engineer will only grant the waiver upon a written determination that the NWP activity will result in minimal adverse effects. When making minimal effects determinations the district engineer will consider the direct and indirect effects caused by the NWP activity. The district engineer will also consider site specific factors, such as the environmental setting in the vicinity of the NWP activity, the type of resource that will be affected by the NWP activity, the functions provided by the aquatic resources that will be affected by the NWP activity, the degree or magnitude to which the aquatic resources perform those functions, the extent that aquatic resource functions will be lost as a result of the NWP activity (e.g., partial or complete loss), the duration of the adverse effects (temporary or permanent), the importance of the aquatic resource functions to the region (e.g., watershed or ecoregion), and mitigation required by the district engineer. If an appropriate functional assessment method is available and practicable to use, that assessment method may be used by the district engineer to assist in the minimal adverse effects determination. The district engineer may add case -specific special conditions to the NWP authorization to address site -specific environmental concerns. 2. If the proposed activity requires a PCN and will result in a loss of greater than 1/10 -acre of wetlands, the prospective permittee should submit a mitigation proposal with the PCN. Applicants may also propose compensatory mitigation for projects with smaller impacts. The district engineer will consider any proposed compensatory Water Main Improvements 010960-10 14048020 Kessler Mountain to Cato Springs Road • mitigation the applicant has included in the proposal in determining whether the net adverse environmental effects to the aquatic environment of the proposed activity are minimal. The compensatory - mitigation proposal may be either conceptual or detailed. If the district engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms and conditions of the NWP and that the adverse effects on the aquatic . environment are minimal, after considering mitigation, the district engineer will notify the permittee and include any activity -specific . conditions in the NWP verification the district engineer deems necessary. Conditions for compensatory mitigation requirements must comply with the appropriate provisions at 33 CFR 332.3(k). . The district engineer must approve the final mitigation plan before the permittee commences work in waters of the United States, unless the district engineer determines that prior approval of the final . mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely completion of the required compensatory mitigation. If the . prospective permittee elects to submit a compensatory mitigation plan with the PCN, the district engineer will expeditiously review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan. The district engineer must review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan within 45 calendar days of receiving a complete PCN and determine whether . the proposed mitigation would ensure no more than minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. If the net adverse effects of the wproject on the aquatic environment (after consideration of the i compensatory mitigation proposal) are determined by the district engineer to be minimal, the district engineer will provide a timely written response to the applicant. The response will state that the project can proceed under the terms and conditions of the NWP, including any activity -specific conditions added to the NWP iauthorization by the district engineer. 3. If the district engineer determines that the adverse effects of the . proposed work are more than minimal, then the district engineer will notify the applicant either: (a) That the project does not qualify for' authorization under the NWP and instruct the applicant on the procedures to seek authorization under an individual permit; (b) that the project is authorized under the NWP subject to the applicant's submission of a mitigation plan that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level; or (c) that the . project is authorized under the NWP with specific modifications or .conditions. Where the district engineer determines that mitigation is required to ensure no more than minimal adverse effects occur to the . aquatic environment, the activity will be authorized within the 45 - day PCN period, with activity -specific conditions that state the . mitigation requirements. The authorization will include the necessary conceptual or detailed mitigation or a requirement that the applicant submit a mitigation plan that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level. When mitigation is required, no work in waters of the United States may occur until the district engineer has approved a specific mitigation plan or has . determined that prior approval of a final mitigation plan is not practicable or not necessary to ensure timely completion of the - required compensatory mitigation. 0 Further Information: a 1. District Engineers have authority to determine if an activity . complies with the terms and conditions of an NWP. LJ 2. NWPs do not obviate the need to obtain other federal, state, or local permits, approvals, or authorizations required by law. 3. NWPs do not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges. 4. NWPs do not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others. 5. NWPs do not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal nroiect. .

In cases where it is not practical to maintain a ten (10) foot separation, the appropriate reviewing agency may allow deviation on a case -by -case basis if supported by data from the design engineer. Such deviation may allow installation of the sewer closer to a water main provided that the water main is in a separate trench or on an undisturbed earth shelf located to one side of the sewer, and at an elevation so the bottom of the water main is at least 18 -inches above the top of the sewer. B. Sewer lines installed under a water line must have a clear distance between pipes of at least eighteen (18) inches. C. The sewer line shall be installed such that a joint of pipe is centered along the water line and the joints are as far as possible from the water line. D. If 18 -inches of clearance cannot be provided or when the water main must pass under the sewer main, either the sanitary sewer main or the water main shall be encased in twenty (20) feet of watertight encasement pipe, centered over the point of crossing. Crossings that are not perpendicular will require more than twenty (20) feet of encasement.

Sewer service lines shall extend perpendicular to the sewer main and extended to the property being served. 1.02 DESIGN CRITERIA A. GENERAL All sanitary sewers shall be designed to carry the estimated flow from the area ultimately contributing to the respective reach of the sanitary sewer. The required capacity shall either be established by the City or at the City's option by means of a basin study developed by the Owner or his authorized engineer/designer. In no instance shall a gravity sewer, other than a building sewer, be less than eight (8) inches in diameter. The following design standards for gravity s Iwers within or contributing to the City of Fayetteville Sanitary Sewer System have been established: 1. Population Density Population density shall be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan for Fayetteville projected by the Division of Planning for the City of Fayetteville or actual count or character of proposed development, whichever is greatest. 2. Average Family For the purposes of design the average family unit is considered to be 3.0 persons per single family home. 1200.doc 1 3 4. Design Flow The design of all sanitary sewer facilities shall be based on future area population growth and land development characteristics and figures provided by the Department of Planning including the servicing of existing contiguous developed areas not currently served by sanitary sewers. The values of Average and Peak Flow and Design Population hereby shall be the values which include the future flows and population. The City reserves the right to review and determine the appropriateness and/or applicability of the estimated flow volumes provided. The following shall be used as a guide: a. Average Design Flows 1) Single Family Residential: The average design flow for single family dwellings shall be one hundred (100) gallons per person per day. 2) Commercial/Industrial/Institutional: Based upon information either submitted by the Owner or developed by the City. These flow volume guidelines may be modified at the City's discretion. b.

Flow) 18 + l 4+,� Where P is equal to the total Design Population in thousands. 2) Commercial/Industriallnstitutional: The peak design flow from commercial, industrial or institutional developments shall be the average daily flow determined multiplied by 2.5. The peak design flow shall not be less than 90% of the peak water demand or exceed the flow limits of the water meter supplying the facility. Design Capacities: Collector and trunk sewers shall be designed on the following basis: a. Collector Sewers Twelve (12) Inches and Smaller Peak design flow capacities shall be based on sewers flowing two-thirds (2/3) full. 1200.doc 2 b. Trunk Sewers Fifteen (15) Inches and Larger Peak design flow capacities for�trunk or interceptor sewers shall be based on sewers flowing 90% full, without head, using the design population density and appropriate land use determined by the Division of Planning; and shall include an allowance for infiltration which will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis and is subject to the approval of the City. 1.03 MINIMUM PIPE SIZES AND STANDARDS A. PIPE DIAMETER 1. The required diameter of gravity sewers shall be determined by Manning's formula using a roughness coefficient, "n" of 0.013 or the pipe manufacturer's recommendation, whichever is greaten The minimum pipe diameter for gravity sewers lines shall be eight (8) inches.

This shallIbe accomplished by keeping the crown elevation continuous where possible for changes in sewer sizes. 1200.doc 5 f. Connections to manholes on trunk sewer lines shall be installed at such elevations that will not cause a backup in the collector sewer. Trunk sewers are designed to flow completely full during peak operation. Therefore, connections should not be made below the crown of the trunk sewer line pipe. g. Minimum drop across the manhole from inlet invert to outlet invert for size on size pipes shall be 0.10' for 0 up to 45 degree change in direction, and 0.20' for 45 to 90 degree change in direction. h. Manholes proposed to be installed in unpaved areas shall be designed and constructed such that the top of the casting is a minimum of three (3) inches and a maximum of five (5) inches above the finished grade to prevent ponding of water over the casting. Positive drainage away from the manhole shall be provided.

The drops shall extend from the base to within 10 feet of the final graded surface elevation. NOTE: THIS SHOULD NOT IMPLY THAT EVERY MANHOLE SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH 2 OUTSIDE DROP CONNECTIONS. B. SEWER PUMP STATIONS 1. A construction permit shall not be issued for a sanitary sewer pump station until an economic analysis proves to the satisfaction of the City that the pump station exhibits a lower 20 -year life cycle cost than extending a gravity sewer to the development. 1200.doc 2. The analysis shall be per latest standard practice for least cost (life cycle) as developed by ASTM C1131 and evaluate labor costs, maintenance costs (including parts replacements), operation costs and rehabilitation costs. The analysis shall take into consideration both interest and inflation rates. 3. The following minimum assumptions shall be made when calculating life cycle costs. a. Pump Station Construction Costs = Actual cost b. SCADA System = $7,500 c. Pump Station Routine O&M labor = 50 hrs/year @ $40/hr d. Effective Energy Costs $0.251kW•hr e. Interest Rate = 5% f. Inflation Rate = 3% g. Replace pumps in year 11 4. In the event that a pump station is more cost effective than gravity sewer, the operation and maintenance expenses) for the pump station must be paid in addition to the monthly sewer service charges paid by the benefiting customers. The Developer must pay, in advance, the present value of the estimated operation and maintenance costs for the estimated service life of the pump station. The estimated service life shall be 20 years. 5. If a pump station is more cost effective, the City of Fayetteville reserves the right to cost share with the developer to pay for a gravity sewer extension in lieu of a pump station. 1.07 EASEMENTS AND DEEDS A. GENERAL Whenever possible, sanitary sewers shall be constructed within the public right- of-way. Should the construction'be outside the limits of the public right-of-way, recorded sewer easements shall be acquired, dedicated and recorded solely for the benefit of the City.

Sanitary sewers shall be laid at least ten (10) feet horizontally from any existing or proposed water line. The distance shall be measured edge to edge. In cases where it is not practical to maintain a ten (10) foot separation, the appropriate reviewing agency may allow deviation on a case -by -case basis if supported by data from the design engineer. Such deviation may allow installation of the sewer closer to a water main provided that the water main is in a separate trench or on an undisturbed earth shelf located to one side of the sewer, and at an elevation so the bottom of the water main is at least 18 -inches above the top of the sewer. B. Sewer lines installed under a water line must have a clear distance between pipes of at least eighteen (18) inches. C. The sewer line shall be installed such that a joint of pipe is centered along the water line and the joints are as far as possible from the water line. D.

The first stake into each bale shall be driven toward the previously laid bale to force them together. 4. Spacing between the bales shall be tightly chinked with loose straw and overlapped with an additional straw bale. 5. Ends of a check dam shall be angled outward and upgradient to prevent flow around the end of the check dam before the pool reaches design level. 6. After straw bales are in. place the excavated soil shall be backfilled against the ups lope side of the straw bales to a height of 4 inches after compacting. 7. Straw bales shall be routinely inspected to determine if any repairs or replacements to the straw bales are needed. If it is determined that the straw bales need to be repaired or replaced, the work will occur immediately. Silt accumulations shall be removed before they reach 1/3 the barrier height. 3.04 WATTLES A. Wattles are a sediment and stormwater velocity control device. They are tubes of straw, rice straw, or coconut husk encased in ultraviolet (UV) degradable plastic netting or 100% biodegradable burlap material. Wattles help stabilize slopes by breaking up the length, and by slowing and spreading overland water flow. I B. Wattles may be suitable along the toe, top, face, and at grade breaks of exposed and erodible slopes to shorten slope length and spread runoff as sheet flow; at the end of a downward slope where it transitions to a steeper slope; along sidewalks and curbs to prevent sediment from washing into gutters; around storm drains and drop inlets; down -slope of exposed soil areas; and around temporary material spoil and stockpiles, such as topsoil and for streambank (sensitive area) protection. I 2100.doc 5 C. 2100.doc Contractor shall install wattles to the following specifications: Installation of wattles begins by constructing a shallow trench, 2 to 4 inches deep, and shaped to accept the wattle, along the contour of the slope. All debris (rocks and clods) that would prevent close contact between the wattle and soil should be removed. The wattle is placed in the trench, and excavated material from the trench is packed tightly along the base of the wattle, on the uphill side. The wattle should be secured with 1 -inch by 1 -inch wooden stakes. The stakes should be placed at a 4 -foot spacing and driven in perpendicular to the slope through the center of the wattle leaving less than 2 inches of stake exposed above the wattle. The terminating ends of each wattle installation should be turned uphill a minimum of 6 inches to prevent runoff from flowing around the ends of the wattle. 2. Flat ground application. Install along sidewalks and behind curbs, fitting tightly against the concrete before backfilling, then backfill the wattle to create a trench. 3. Storm drain inlet protection. Wattles placed along the back of curb should be offset, as required to go around structures such as curb intakes that project behind the back of curb. At these locations, the wattle should be placed behind the structure (not over it) and shaped to direct water around either side of the structure to prevent ponding. At area intake locations, a shallow trench should be constructed I to 2 feet away from the edge of the intake. The wattle should be placed in the trench and firmly staked in place. 4. Slope application. Wattles should be installed on the contour from the bottom of the slope upward. 5. Materials. Wattles can be made from straw, rice straw, coconut husk, or other approved material. The netting consists of biodegradable burlap or ultraviolet (UV) degradable plastic netting. Straw should be Certified Weed Free Forage, by a manufacturer whose principle business is wattle manufacturing. Coir (coconut fiber) can be in bristle and mattress form, and should be obtained from freshwater cured coconut husk. 6. Application. Wattles are available in a variety of diameters ranging from 9 inches to 20 inches. The most common sizes are 9 and 12 -inch wattles. The allowable spacing for these diameters shall be, as follows: Slope Spacing Intervals (ft) 9" Diameter 12" Diameter <4:1 20 40 2:l to 4:1 15 30 2:1 or greater 10 20 :1 S • S 7. For soft, loamy soils, the spacing interval should be decreased. For hard, rocky soils, the spacing interval may be increased. 8. For highly erosive soils, and for slopes 2:1 or greater, an additional row of wooden stakes should be provided on the downhill side of the wattle. 9. Maintenance. Repair or replace split, torn, unraveling or slumping wattles. If the wattle is used as a sediment capture device, or as an erosion control device to maintain sheet flows, sediment that accumulates in the wattle must be periodically removed when accumulation reaches one-half the designated sediment storage depth, usually one-half the distance between the top of the fiber roll and the adjacent ground in order to maintain effectiveness. If wattles are used for reduction of slope length J sediment removal should not be required as long as the system continues to control the grade. Additional sediment control practices are required to be used in conjunction with this type of application. 3.05 PIT/TRENCH DEWATERING A. Water removed from open pits and/or trenches shall have silt removed prior to leaving the immediate site of construction.1 Silt shall be removed by natural vegetation, a straw bale trench dewatering inlet device, settling pond, filter bag, a rock/geotextile fabric sediment trap/basin, or other appropriate sediment control measure.

Ductile iron and steel pipe and appurtenances shall be completely encased in polyethylene tubing material. It is not the intent that the material form an enclosure that is absolutely air or water tight, but to prevent pipe to soil contact. C. Polyethylene tubing shall be applied to pipe in 'double layers by one of the following methods: 1. Method "A": Cut polyethylene tubes to, a length approximately two feet (4') longer than the length of the pipe section. Slip the tubes around the pipe, centering it to provide a one foot (2') overlap on each adjacent pipe section, and bunching it accordion fashion lengthwise until it clears the pipe ends. Lower the pipe into the trench and make up the pipe joint with the preceding section of pipe. A shallow bell hole must be made at joints to facilitate installation of the polyethylene tube. After assembling the pipe joint, take bunched polyethylene from the preceding length of pipe, slip it over the end of the new length of pipe, and secure in place. Then slip the end of the polyethylene from the new pipe section of the end of the first wrap until it overlaps the joint at the end of the preceding length of pipe. Secure the overlap in place. Take up the slack width to make snug, but not tight, fit along the barrel of the pipe, securing the fold at quarter points with tape. 2. Method "B': Cut polyethylene tubes to a length approximately one foot (1') shorter than the length of the pipe section. Slip the tubes around the pipe, centering it to provide six inches (6') of bare pipe at each end. Make 11 l� polyethylene snug, but not tight; secure ends. Before making up a joint, slip two sections of six foot (6') length of polyethylene tube over the end of the preceding pipe section, bunching it accordion fashion lengthwise. After completing the joint, pull the two sections of six foot (6') length of polyethylene over the joint, overlapping the polyethylene previously installed on each adjacent section of pipe by at least two feet (2'); make snug and secure each end. D. Pipe -Shaped Appurtenances. Bends, reducers, offsets, and other pipe -shaped appurtenances shall be covered with double layers of polyethylene in the same manner as the pipe. E. Odd -Shaped Appurtenances. Valves, tees, crosses and other odd -shaped pieces which cannot practically be wrapped in a tube, shall be wrapped with two layers of flat sheets or split length of polyethylene tubes. The sheets shall be passed under the appurtenance and brought up around the body. Seams shall be made by bringing the edges together, folding over twice, and taping down. Slack width and overlaps at joints shall be handled as described in Paragraph 3.13.C.1 above. Tape polyethylene securely in place at valve stem and other penetrations. F. Openings in Tubing Material. Openings for branches, service taps, blow -offs, air valves, and similar appurtenances shall be made by making an "X" shaped cut in the polyethylene and temporarily folding the film back. After the appurtenance is installed, tape the slack securely to the appurtenance and repair the cut, as well as any other damaged areas in the polyethylene with tape. G. Junctions Between Wrapped and Unwrapped Pipe. Where polyethylene wrapped pipe joins a pipe that is not wrapped, extend the polyethylene tube to cover the unwrapped pipe a distance of at least two feet (2') and secure the end. H. The polyethylene material shall be secured around the pipe and appurtenances by at least three (3) circumferential wraps of tape (see Section 4000 for materials). I. All tongs, cables, or chains that are used for lifting pipe and appurtenances that have been encased in polyethylene material shall be adequately padded to prevent damage to the material. J. Repair any rips, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene with tape or with a short length of polyethylene tube cut open, wrapped around the pipe and secured in place. K.

Where the soil is unstable or in the case of recent fill areas, the following procedures shall apply either singly or in a combination: 1. Thrust blocks shall be of adequate size to restrain pipe or appurtenances by mass alone without depending on horizontal bearing of the soil. 2. The excavation shall extend deep enough to contact firm soil and the thrust block concrete brought up to the pipe or appurtenances. The thrust block shall be constructed so that the block acts as a beam and will 4100.doc 14 provide the restraint required. Such block shall be reinforced with steel reinforcing bars. 3. Anchor blocks shall be constructed in a firm soil and tie rods extended to the pipe or appurtenances. Tie -rods shall be used only for temporary restraint. Concrete thrust blocks and/or anchor collars must be placed for permanent restraint. N. Thrust blocks for vertical bends shall be adequate to resist the thrust by mass alone when the thrust is upward. O. Thrust blocks and anchor collars shall be adequate to restrain the pipeline and appurtenances at design pressure equal to y150% of the static pressure at the lowest point with a minimum pressure of 200 psi. The following table lists the resultant thrust at certain fittings at a pressure of 100 psi. In order to determine the thrust at the test pressure, these values are to be multiplied by a factor equal to the design pressure divided by 100.

Contractor personnel shall be thoroughly familiar with all phases of sewer line cleaning to insure satisfactory end results without causing damage to the sewer lines or adjacent property. PART 3- EXECUTION 3.01 CLEANING EQUIPMENT A. Since the success of related work depends a great deal upon the cleanliness of the lines, the importance of the cleaning operation cannot be too strongly emphasized. The equipment selected for cleaning shall be capable of removing all dirt, grass, rocks and other deleterious materials from the sewer lines and manholes. Particular emphasis is placed on the removal of grease accumulations so that cracks and breaks can be observed during television inspection and so that joints can be isolated during testing and sealing operations. B. The Contractor shall make an inspection of the lines to be cleaned in order to determine the type of cleaning equipment that is required. It is anticipated that hydraulic cleaning will be adequate for most of the line segments. 3.02 CLEANING REQUIREMENTS A. Prior to inspection, the designated sewer lines, as shown on the project drawings, will be thoroughly cleaned as specified below: 1. The sewer lines shall be cleaned by using standard mechanically powered or hydraulically propelled cleaning tools or combinations thereof, such as rodding machines, boring machines, hydraulic balls, cones, ferrets, or other similar devices. 5000.doc 2. All roots, sludge, dirt, sand, rock, grease and other solid or semi -solid material resulting from the cleaning operations shall be removed at the downstream manhole without passing the material from section to section, which could cause stoppage of the lines or accumulation in the wet well 3 and damage to pumping equipment. When cleaning equipment is used, a debris catch riser as shown in the standard details shall be used in the downstream manhole so that both solids and water shall be trapped. All solids or semi -solids resulting from the cleaning operations shall be removed from the site and disposed of at no additional cost to the Owner. It the responsibility of the Contractor to secure a legal dump site for the disposal of this material. 3. Satisfactory precautions shall be taken to protect the sewer lines from damage that might be inflicted by the improper use of cleaning equipment. Whenever hydraulically propelled cleaning tools, which depend upon water pressure to provide their cleaning force or any tools which retard the flow of water in the sewer lines are used, precautions shall be taken to insure that the water pressure created does not cause any damage or flooding to public or private property being served by the manhole section involved. The flow of sewage present in the sewer lines shall be utilized to provide necessary fluid for hydraulic cleaning devices whenever possible. When additional quantities of water from fire hydrants are necessary to avoid delay in normal working procedures, the water shall be conserved and not used unnecessarily. No fire hydrant shall be obstructed or used when there is a fire in the area. Before using any water from the City water supply system, the Contractor shall obtain a hydrant meter from the Meter Department. The Contractor shall be responsible for the water meter and related charges for the set up, including the water usage bill. All expenses shall be considered incidental to cleaning. 4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SEWAGE OR SOLIDS REMOVED THEREFROM BE DUMPED ONTO STREETS OR INTO DITCHES, CATCH BASINS, STORM DRAINS OR SANITARY SEWER MANHOLES.

Primary Insurance This insurance Is pri- mary except when c. below applies. if this insurance is primary, our obligations are not affected unless any of the other insurance is also primary. Then, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in b. below. b. Method of Sharing If all of the other insur- ance permits contribu- tion by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach each in- surer contributes equal amounts until it has paid, its applicable limit of Insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. 1f any of the other in- surance does not per- mit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each Insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of in- surance to the total ap- plicable limits of insur- ance of all Insurers. c. No Coverage This Insurance shall not cover any loss for which the insured is entitled to recovery un- der any other Insur- ance in force previous to the effective date of this Coverage Part. a.
