Specifications include, but are not limited to: 2. Regulated Wetlands and/or Water Resources for this project have been identified and delineated by NDOT. The Contractor shall not drive through, stage, store, waste or stockpile materials and equipment within delineated wetland boundaries (Wetlands – Do Not Disturb) and/or environmentally sensitive areas (Sensitive Area – Do Not Disturb) as shown in the project plan aerial sheets and/or the erosion control plan sheets included in the plan set. 3. All listed 404 permit Special Conditions as included in the attached 404 permit document must be complied with including Section 401 Water Quality Certification conditions and/or all other conditions required for compliance state and federal regulations. 4. All Nationwide Permit General Conditions and Nebraska Regional Conditions shall be followed, as applicable. Based on the project scope (NDOT Control No. 13404), the items indicated with checkmarks in the attached document (NDOT Contractor Requirements Sheet) appear to be applicable and relevant to the contractor and project manager. 5. All areas adjacent (contiguous, bordering, neighboring) to jurisdictional waters disturbed by construction shall be revegetated with appropriate perennial, native grasses and forbs and maintained in this condition. In accordance with Executive Order 13112, the use of invasive species and non-native species is not appropriate for revegetation of disturbed areas. A cover crop may be planted to aid in the establishment of native vegetation. The disturbed area shall be reseeded concurrently with the project or immediately upon completion. Revegetation shall be acceptable when ground cover of appropriate perennial, native grasses and forbs reaches 75%. If this seeding cannot be accomplished by September 15 in the year of project completion, then an erosion blanket shall be placed on the disturbed areas. The erosion blanket shall remain in place until ground cover of appropriate perennial, native grasses and forbs reaches 75%. If the seeding can be accomplished by September 15, all seeded areas shall be properly mulched to prevent erosion. 6. When vegetation has been established, all temporary erosion control materials shall be removed from the project site. Biodegradable or photodegradable materials need not be removed. The intent of the above Regional Condition is that all temporary erosion control measures installed such as silt fence and associated steel posts shall be removed upon completion of the project or upon vegetation establishment reaching the specified success criteria. Biodegradable and photodegradable erosion control measures detailed in the final erosion control plans are intended to remain in place upon completion of the project. Temporary biodegradable/photodegradable erosion control measures such as wood mulch berms and erosion checks may be left in place upon completion of the project. 7. If field modifications are made to what is shown on the letting plans within the areas identified in the attached permit, the Technical Resources Unit Project Manager, Brett Harbison, must be notified prior to construction of the modification. Additional consultation and permitting may be required. Any construction activities are prohibited in all other areas shown as non-impacted wetlands or waters of the U.S.
