A. This section includes requirements for the provision, maintenance, and subsequent removal of temporary and/or permanent erosion and sediment controls as shown on the approved plans. B. The temporary erosion and sediment controls specified herein shall be coordinated with the permanent erosion controls, to assure economical, effective, and continuous erosion and sediment control during construction within acceptable limits. Acceptable limits are as established by the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act of 1975, as amended, Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act, and applicable codes, ordinances, rules, regulations, and laws of local and municipal authorities having jurisdiction. C. Land disturbance activities shall not commence until the Land Disturbance Permit Stream Buffer variance, and Notice of Intent, if applicable, have been properly issued and all required meetings have taken place. D. This section requires the Contractor to design project specific devices and practices to meet requirements of the related work and references listed below in conjunction with the Contractor's own means, methods, and techniques, schedules and sequences of work, and actual conditions encountered. Design shall be performed by professionals experienced and familiar with storm water and drainage characteristics as well as the requirements of references listed below. A. The work covered by this section consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, and material required to place topsoil, seed, commercial fertilizer, agricultural limestone, and mulch material, including seedbed preparation, harrowing, compacting, and other placement operations on graded earthen areas as described herein and/or shown on the Drawings. In general, seeding operations shall be conducted on all newly graded earthen areas not covered by structures, pavement, or sidewalks; all cleared or grubbed areas that are to remain as finish grade surfaces; and on all existing turf areas that are disturbed by construction operations and which are to remain as finish grade surfaces. Areas disturbed by borrow activities shall also be seeded according to these specifications. B. The work shall include temporary seeding operations to stabilize earthen surfaces during construction or inclement weather and to minimize stream siltation and erosion. Temporary seeding shall be performed on any disturbed area left exposed for a period greater than seven (7) days. C. Areas disturbed by construction activities, shall be restored to their original conditions with regard to surface grading, drainage, grass type (predominate), or other landscape features. A. Furnish all labor, materials, equipment and incidentals necessary to install, in all locations under and outside of structures as shown on the Drawings, and test all buried PVC piping, PVC fittings, and appurtenances as specified herein. A. Work described in this Section includes furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, and incidentals required to install, test, and maintain a temporary bypass pumping system for the purpose of diverting all wastewater flows around the Work area. B. The objectives of flow bypass and/or diversion pumping are to: 1. Maintain an efficient and uninterrupted level of service to wastewater collection system users while replacement, cleaning or internal condition assessment operations are facilitated on the segment or segments being bypassed and/or from which flow is being diverted, within the wastewater collection system 2. Ensure all levels of wastewater flow are continuously and effectively handled around the segment or segments of sewer being bypassed and/or from which flow is being diverted by: a. Providing odor control measures and systems to contain and control odors at the intake and discharge manholes or other locations b. Ensuring that bypass and diversion pumps are adequately fueled, lubricated, and maintained c. Ensuring that backup spare parts are expeditiously installed in the flow bypass and/or diversion pumping system in the event of component breakdown d. Ensuring an emergency response plan is smoothly implemented in the event of system failure e. Preventing backup, spillage, flooding or overflow onto streets, yards and unpaved areas or into buildings, adjacent ditches, storm drains, and waterways, while flow bypass or diversion pumping takes place and ensuring that installation, startup and subsequent disassembly of the flow bypass and diversion pumping system is smoothly transitioned C. At all times during pumping operations, an experienced bypass/diversion pump maintenance operator/mechanic and/or assistant shall continuously be on site to monitor the operation of the entire bypass/diversion system. The operator/mechanic and/or assistant shall comprehensively and continuously: 1. Adjust pump speed as appropriate so as not to adversely impact upstream or downstream flow condition levels. 2. Check that the bulkheads, dams, diaphragms, plugs, valves, weirs, and all other flow control devices are working effectively and according to plan. 3. Check the integrity of hoses and couplings along the entire bypass / diversion system. 4. Monitor fuel tanks and refuel as necessary. 5. Monitor lubrication levels and provide additional lubrication as necessary. 6. Facilitate minor repairs as required. 7. Report to the Owner on potential problems. 8. Inspect bypass-pumping system at least hourly to ensure that the system is working correctly. 9. Maintain adequate supply of spare parts on site as required. 10. Monitor and maintain odor control facilities and systems. D. Bypass pumping systems shall include a minimum of one thousand (1,000) lineal feet discharge piping length. E.
