9 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

10 ENVIRONMENTAL

10.1 Waterway Permits:

It is required that the bidder be aware of Section 404/401. Permits/Certifications for all projects impacting "waters of the US". The level of permit, that is Nationwide versus Individual 404 and 401, is determined by the exact amount of impact to "waters of the US", (i.e., acreage of fill activities in a stream or wetland or linear feet of work in a stream) and in some cases the waters impacted. All individual 404 Permits require 401 Water Quality Certification. Nationwide Permits are activity specific permits used to authorize projects with minor impacts. Projects with more than minor impacts require individual review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

The DBT should be aware of the Nationwide Permits and conditions as issued for the State of Ohio and should design projects to meet the requirements of these general permits to avoid the requirements for Individual 404/401 Permits if possible. The Nationwide Permits for the State of Ohio can be found at the various Corps of Engineers' web sites. The Huntington District's web site can be found at: http://www.lrh.usace.mil/or/permits/.

Coordination of the waterway permits can take up to six (6) months for Individual 404 Permits. Therefore it is imperative that the DBT submit plans (i.e., plan & profile, cross-section and detail sheets for any bridges, culverts, or fill areas in waters) to the District and the Office of Environmental Services, for permit determination, no less than 90 days prior to any in stream or wetland work. The review of plans, any required coordination or the processing of permit applications must be accomplished by the Office of Environmental Services prior to the commencement of construction activities. The DBT shall be responsible for completing applications for 404 Permits and 401 Water Quality Certification, if they are required. At no time will the DBT coordinate waterway permit issues directly with the permitting agencies unless directed to do so by the Office of Engineering Services.

All Waterway Permit requirements are found in the Waterway Permits Manual.

10.2 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit : The DBT must submit to the project manager the total number of acres of earth disturbance activities for both off project and on project work in a timely manner. This information will be used to develop the NOI if required. The NOI will be submitted to the OEPA within 10 days after this information is received from the DBT. Approval from the OEPA takes 21 days and the project manager has 10 days to file the NOI so these 31 days will be counted for in the project. If required a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be submitted by the DBT to the Project Manager for review per SS832 prior to any earth moving activities.

All temporary erosion control is the responsibility of the DBT even if a SWPPP is not required. All temporary erosion control work and the SWPPP if required will be per SS832. .For information about OEPA's NPDES permit requirements see http://www.epa.state.oh.us/dsw/storm/index.html. or SS833. Items used to implement the Contractor's Erosion Control requirements are paid from an encumbered amount included in the proposal as a non-bid reference number. The proposal specifies the unit prices for the erosion control items. Payments for erosion control items that exceed the encumbered amount will be made by an Extra Work Change Order using the proposal specified unit prices. The proposal specified unit prices are found in proposal note 205. The proposal specified unit prices are fixed for the contract and may not be negotiated or adjusted for inflation or claimed changed condition.

10.3 Removal of Temporary Erosion Control Items

All temporary erosion control items shall be removed before the project is accepted. Removed materials shall become the property of the DBT and shall be disposed of in accordance with the appropriate CMS specifications.

10.4 Stream Crossing Investigations ( flood plain analysis) : The DBT team shall perform a detailed flood plain analysis for each waterway crossing. The analysis shall be as per the Location & Design Manual and The Bridge Design Manual and as follows : The extent of the analysis shall be from a minimum of 500' downstream, to the greater of either one bridge opening/width upstream, or to the limits of the area inundated by the 100-year event. The results of the detailed flood plain study, supporting hydraulic calculations, and recommendations shall be submitted to the District for review and comment prior to construction of the drainage structure. If the proposed crossing is located in a special flood hazard area as defined by FEMA, the detailed flood plain analysis shall be submitted concurrently to the local flood plain coordinator.

11 RIGHT OF WAY (ROW)

All necessary construction work for the project will be performed within the existing right of way.

Existing right of way lines will be located by the DBT based on requirements specified in Chapter 4733-37 of the Ohio Revised Administrative Code (Board Rules) governed by regulations outlined in Chapter 4733, Ohio Revised Code (Regulation Laws). It is the responsibility of the DBT to research existing right of way information from all available sources including but not limited to ODOT records, County road records, Commissioners’ Journals and records of other County offices to the extent necessary to provide an accurate basis for the establishment of the existing right of way.

The DBT will stake and flag the existing right of way in the field prior to the start of construction and will maintain said stakes and flags throughout the duration of the project.

The DBT will identify and show all right of way encroachments on the construction plans at the Conceptual Review Submission. ODOT’s Project Manager will be responsible for clearing all encroachments on Federal-aid projects in accordance with standard encroachment removal

The DBT shall insure that potential delays in coordination and relocation of the affected utilities are minimized. The DBT shall copy Project Manager and the District Utility Coordinator on all correspondence or phone calls between the DBT and each utility. This shall include the submittal of plans to each utility.

A meeting at or near the preliminary review shall be held between the DBT the District Utility Coordinator and the utility owners to determine if any significant utility relocations can be eliminated or mitigated.

Any betterment to the utility's facility and ineligible, or unnecessary, work shall not be a part of the project's expense but the utility company’s fiscal requirement. Determination of eligibility can be coordinated through the District Utility Coordinator. Payment for betterments or ineligible costs shall be made by the appropriated utility through ODOT to the Contractor.

The cost of all utility coordination shall be bid as a Lump Sum Item.
