SUMMARY A. Scope: 1. This section covers work necessary for stabilization of soil to prevent erosion during and after construction and land-disturbing activities. 2. The Work shall include the furnishing of all labor, material, tools, and equipment to perform the Work and services necessary as herein specified and as indicated on the Drawings. 3. This shall include installation, maintenance, and final removal of all temporary soil erosion and sediment control measures. B. The minimum areas requiring soil erosion and sediment control measures are indicated on the Drawings. C. The Owner or Engineer reserves the right to modify the use, location, and quantities of soil erosion and sediment control, based on the Contractor’s activities. D. See additional information noted on the Drawings. 1.02 GENERAL A. Refer to General Conditions and Division 01, General Requirements, which contain information and requirements that apply to the Work specified herein and are mandatory requirements of for this Project. B. All activities shall conform to the latest edition of the New York State Standards for Erosion and Sediment Control (Blue Book), and the Drawings. In the event of conflicting requirements, the more stringent requirements shall apply. C. Soil erosion stabilization and sedimentation control consist of the following elements: 1. Maintenance of existing permanent or temporary storm drainage piping and channel systems, as necessary. 2. Construction of new permanent and temporary storm drainage piping and channel systems, as necessary. 3. Construction of temporary erosion control facilities such as silt fences, check dams, etc. 4. Topsoil and seeding: a. Placement and maintenance of Temporary Seeding on all areas disturbed by construction. TEMPORARY EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL 10.25 01 57 13-2 1307.008.001R b. Placement of permanent topsoil, fertilizer, and seed, etc. in all areas not occupied by structures or pavement, unless shown otherwise. 5. Soil Stabilization Seeding: Placement of fertilizer, seed, etc. in areas as specified hereinafter. D. The Contractor shall be responsible for phasing and coordinating Work in areas allocated for respective use including proposed stockpile areas to restrict sediment transport. This will include installation of all temporary erosion and sediment control devices, ditches, or other facilities. E. The areas set aside for the Contractor’s use during the Project may be temporarily developed to provide satisfactory working, staging, and administrative areas for its exclusive use. Preparation of these areas shall be in accordance with other requirements contained within these Specifications and shall be done in a manner to control all sediment transport away from the area. F. Sediment transport and erosion from working stockpiles shall be controlled and restricted from moving beyond the immediate stockpile area by installation of silt fence or fiber rolls and construction of temporary toe-of-slope ditches, as necessary. The Contractor shall keep these temporary facilities in operational condition by regular cleaning, regrading, and maintenance. Stockpiles remaining in place longer than 14 calendar days shall be considered permanent stockpiles for purposes of erosion and sediment control. G. All permanent stockpiles shall be seeded with soil stabilization seed and protected by permanent 2-foot-minimum ditches, completely surrounding stockpiles and located within 10 feet of the toes of stockpile slopes. H. The Contractor shall maintain all elements of the soil erosion and sediment control systems and facilities to be constructed during this Project for the duration of activity on the Project. Formal inspections made jointly by the Contractor and the Engineer shall be conducted every 2 weeks to evaluate the Contractor’s conformance. These inspections shall be in addition to the daily inspections performed by the Contractor and the weekly inspections performed by the Engineer.
