CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION GUIDE (5/01/04)<br />

Environmental Commitments<br />

Report Items<br />

Material source cleanup will be coordinated with the Fish <strong>and</strong><br />

Game Commission, as a small stream passes through the<br />

source area.<br />

There was one location at Sta 13+90 on the north side of the<br />

new roadway near Kincaid Lake with an excessive amount of<br />

silt accumulation. It is recommended that a floating boom be<br />

installed on the south side of the roadway to keep any silt from<br />

entering the lake. There was also quite a bit of silt in the pond<br />

area on the north side of the roadway at Sta 51+55. A large<br />

amount of silt was exiting the side slope <strong>and</strong> entering the<br />

pond. It is recommended that a large rock dam/sediment basin<br />

be constructed along with a rock ditch at the toe of the slope<br />

to prevent this situation from reoccurring.<br />

During this final inspection, wetl<strong>and</strong> plantings were visually<br />

observed to be healthy <strong>and</strong> well maintained. The types of<br />

plants <strong>and</strong> spacing matched the requirements committed to in<br />

the project’s environmental assessment.<br />

Comments<br />

Environmental sensitivity <strong>and</strong> mitigation efforts have been<br />

properly noted without being limited to items included in the<br />

applicable environmental document.<br />

The inspecting engineer should make sure that bodies of water<br />

receiving direct runoff be adequately protected. Structural<br />

controls are often used as a second or third line of defense to<br />

capture sediment as it leaves the site. A continuing effort is<br />

needed to address environmental concerns. <strong>Construction</strong><br />

inspection reports should acknowledge these efforts.<br />

It is important that the inspecting engineer know about all<br />

prior environmental commitments <strong>and</strong> document that all<br />

measures were carried out.
