EM&CP DRAWING NOTES:

1. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL EMPLOY APPROPRIATE BEST MANAGEMENT AND HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES AT ALL TIMES IN AND AROUND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY (ROW) IN ORDER TO:

A) PROTECT THE WORKFORCE AND PUBLIC, B) PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA, AND C) AVOID CONTRAVENTION OF STATE AND FEDERAL WETLAND AND WATERWAY

REGULATIONS.

2. ROW WIDTH VARIES DEPENDING UPON SITE-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS. THE MAJORITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION R.OW. IS WITHIN AN EXISTING R.OW. CURRENTLY MAINTAINED BY NIAGARA MOHAWK.

3. DEFINITION OF CLEARING METHODS DESIGNATED ABOVE THE PHOTO-STRIP: A) "BRUSH MOW" (BM) IS PRESCRIBED FOR AREAS THAT MAY BE CONDUCIVE TO

CLEAR-CUTTING WITH A BRUSHHOG MACHINE AS LONG AS THE SITE IS DRY ENOUGH AT THE TIME OF CUTTING SO THAT SEVERE RUTTING WILL NOT OCCUR. MOWING MULCH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. (RIGHT-OF WAY IS CURRENTLY MAINTAINED, UPLAND. MOWING SECOND YEAR SELECTIVE HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS.) THIS INCLUDES STRUCTURE PADS, WORK AREAS, ACCESS ROADS, WIRE ZONES.

B) "DROP & LOP" (DL) IS PRESCRIBED FOR AREAS WHERE SOIL MOISTURE OR SURFACE WATER LEVELS MAKE ACCESS BY CLEARING EQUIPMENT IMPRACTICAL AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING TO WETLANDS OR OTHER SENSITIVE RESOURCES.

C) "HAND CUTTING" (HC) IS PRESCRIBED BY PERMIT CONDITIONS FOR THIS PROJECT WITHIN WETLAND RESOURCES AREAS OR OTHER AREAS THAT ARE SPECIFIED BECAUSE OF SITE CONDITIONS, CLEARLY MARKED ON THE PLANS AND IN THE FIELD. VEGETATION SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE WETLAND RESOURCE AREA AND DISPOSED OF AS NOTED IN 4D. (STREAM BANKS - DROP & REMOVE, CHIP IN UPLAND AREAS.)

D) "CLEAR CUT" (CC) IS PRESCRIBED ALONG FORESTED UPLAND EDGE - CUT, STUMP TREATED, LOGS > 6" (AT SMALL END) REMOVE, LOGS < 6" CHIPPED. CHIPPINGS SPRAYED ON RIGHT-OF-WAY MAX. 3" DEPTH)

E) "NO CLEARING REQUIRED" (NCR) REFERS TO AREAS WHERE CLEARING IS NOT REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION.

F) DANGER TREES BEYOND THE INDICATED CONSTRUCTION LIMITS SHALL BE DESIGNATED IN THE FIELD BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR AND REMOVED AS FOLLOWS: THEY SHALL BE FELLED AS APPROVED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR, IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO ADJACENT OR NEARBY TREES AND SHRUBS, AND WITHOUT A CHANCE OF DAMAGE TO NEARBY PROPERTY. WHERE DIRECTED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR, TREES SHALL BE TAKEN DOWN IN PIECES. IN WETLANDS, WHERE IT IS IMPRACTICAL TO REMOVE DANGER TREES BY HAND OR BY OTHER METHODS, THE DROP AND LOP METHOD WILL BE EMPLOYED TO ELIMINATE DISTURBANCE OF SATURATED SOILS. IN UPLAND AREAS, IN SO FAR AS PRACTICAL, ALL DANGER TREES SHALL BE REMOVED AT THE TIME OF INITIAL CLEARING AND AS PART OF THE NORMAL CLEARING ACTIVITIES. SLASH FROM THESE TREES WILL BE BROUGHT ONTO THE ROW FOR DISPOSAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ROW DISPOSAL METHOD PRESCRIBED ON THE DRAWINGS FOR THE ADJOINING SECTION OF ROW, OR AS DIRECTED BY THE OWNER'S FIELD REPRESENTATIVE.

4. DEFINITION OF SLASH DISPOSAL METHODS: A) "CHIP" INDICATES THAT SMALL DIAMETER (LESS THAN 6 INCH) LIMBS, TOPS, AND

SAPLINGS WHICH WOULD INTERFERE WITH CONSTRUCTION IF PILED, ARE TO BE CHIPPED. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CHIPPING EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE, WHOLE TREE CHIPPING MAY ALSO BE EMPLOYED. IN EITHER CASE, IF SITE CONDITIONS ARE NOT CONDUCIVE TO ACCESS BY CHIPPING EQUIPMENT WITHOUT CAUSING SEVERE RUTTING, THE OWNER'S ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR MAY DIRECT THAT THE SLASH BE REMOVED TO ANOTHER AREA ON THE ROW FOR CHIPPING OR PILING.

B) "SORT AND PILE" INDICATES THAT MERCHANTABLE LOGS WILL BE SEPARATED FROM NON-MERCHANTABLE MATERIALS AND PILED. NON-MERCHANTABLE MATERIALS ARE TO BE PILED WHERE THEY WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH CONSTRUCTION OR FUTURE MAINTENANCE. TYPICALLY, PILES ARE ARRANGED AT INTERVALS ALONG THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE ROW, THE TEMPORARY EASEMENT, OR AS DIRECTED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR. REFER TO ENVIRONMENTAL DETAILS DRAWING FOR BRUSH/SLASH AND LOG PILE PLACEMENT ON ROW.

C) "REMOVE" MEANS TO MOVE MERCHANTABLE LOGS, OVER 6" DIAMETER AT SMALL END, TO TEMPORARY PILES IN THE PARKING AREAS, WORK AREAS AND STRINGING AREAS AS DESIGNATED ON THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS IN ORDER TO FACILITATE UNOBSTRUCTED CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE. ALL SLASH AND TIMBER CLEARED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE ROW PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION. IN WETLAND AREAS OR OTHER AREAS THAT ARE SPECIFIED BECAUSE OF SITE CONDITIONS, CUT TREES SHALL BE REMOVED BY HAND OR BY OTHER METHOD TO ELIMINATE DISTURBANCE OF SATURATED SOILS.

D) "CUT AND REMOVE TIMBER" MEANS TO REMOVE CUTTINGS SO AS NOT TO DISRUPT SOIL SURFACE/PROFILE. CUT MATERIAL IS TO BE REMOVED TO A 'SORT AND PILE' LOCATION AS DIRECTED BY THE OWNER'S FIELD REPRESENTATIVE.

5. RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES PERTAIN TO WATER-RELATED RESOURCES (STREAMS, WETLANDS, SPRINGS, DRAINAGE, ETC.). A PARTICULAR CLEARING METHOD REQUIRED BY PERMIT CONDITIONS WITHIN WETLANDS FOR THIS PROJECT IS DESCRIBED ABOVE IN NOTE 3C. IN ADDITION, FOR ALL AREAS WITHIN A 100 FOOT BUFFER OF WATER-RELATED RESOURCES, THE CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE CRITERIA ARE TO MAINTAIN EXISTING SOIL SURFACE PROFILES AND HYDROLOGIC CONTOURS, TO PRESERVE WATER QUALITY, AND TO CONFORM TO STATE AND FEDERAL WETLAND REGULATIONS. SITE-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS MAY WARRANT PROTECTION MEASURES IN ADDITION TO: A) NO DEPOSITION OF SLASH WITHIN IDENTIFIABLE STREAM OR DRAINAGE CHANNELS; B) NO UNNECESSARY DEGRADATION OF STREAM BANKS. C) NO ACCUMULATION OF CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE

DESIGNATED WATERWAY OR WETLAND AREA; D) NO EQUIPMENT WASHING OR REFUELING WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE DESIGNATED

AREA; AND E) NO STORAGE OF ANY PETROLEUM OR CHEMICAL MATERIALS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF

THE DESIGNATED AREA.

2. WHERE BLASTING IS REQUIRED, MADING OR CONTROLLED BLASTING SHALL BE USED TO CONTAIN BLASTED ROCK FRAGMENTS. ALL BLASTED ROCK NOT USED AS BACKFILL SHALL BE REMOVED FROM CROPLANDS, HAYLANDS, AND IMPROVED PASTURELANDS.

3. WHERE REPEATED TEMPORARY ACCESS MAY BE NECESSARY ACROSS HAYLANDS, CROPLANDS, AND IMPROVED PASTURE LANDS, SUCH THAT SOIL COMPACTION OR MIXING MAY RESULT, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE DIRECTED TO REMOVE UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 12 INCHES OF TOP SOIL AND STOCKPILE SEPARATELY TO SEGREGATE THE "PLOW-LAYER" OF SOILS FROM THE LOWER SUBSOIL/SUBSTRATUM. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL EMPLOY SOIL SURVEY DEPTH-OF-SOIL INFORMATION AND ON FARM DATA TO DESIGNATE THE SITE-SPECIFIC DEPTH OF AGRICULTURAL TOP SOIL MATERIAL WHICH WILL BE PEELED OFF, STOCKPILED, AND RETURNED IN NATURAL SEQUENCE TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL SOIL PROFILE. THE WIDTH OF TOPSOIL STRIPPING SHALL BE THE ACCESS PATHWAY AND CONSTRUCTION PORTION OF THE PERMANENT ROW AND SUCH PORTIONS OF THE TEMPORARY ACCESS ROW AS NECESSARY. IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS (STRUCTURES 13 -18), CONTRACTOR SHALL INSTALL TEMPORARY TIMBER MATS AT STRUCTURE SITES TO MINIMIZE COMPACTION. THE AREA SHALL BE RESTORED TO IT'S CONDITION PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION OR BEDER.

4. AS DIRECTED BYTHE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTOR, COMPACTED AGRICULTURAL SOILS SHALL BE BROKEN UP WITH DEEP TILLAGE DEVICES (SUCH AS A DEEP-SHANK HEAVY DUTY SUBSOILER, A PARAPLOW, OR A PARATILL) DOWN TO THE BODOM OF ACTUAL COMPACTION (IN AREAS WHERE TOPSOIL HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY REMOVED, THE COMPACTED SUBSOILS SHALL BE BROKEN UP BEFORE RETURN OF THE TOPSOIL) - ALL DEEP TILLAGE ACTIVITY SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY DURING PERIODS OF LOW SOIL MOISTURE.

5. AFTER THE RELATIVE SOIL MOISTURE OF THE AFFECTED RIGHT-OF-WAY HAS RETURNED TO EQUILIBRIUM WITH THE ADJACENT OFF RIGHT-OF-WAY LAND, SUBSOIL COMPACTION TESTS SHALL BE MADE BOTH ON AND OFF OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SOIL TYPE OF AFFECTED AGRICULTURAL FIELD USING AN APPROPRIATE SOIL PENETROMETER. THE SUBSOIL COMPACTION READINGS WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SHALL BE COMPARED WITH THOSE OF THE ADJACENT OFF RIGHT-OF-WAY PORTION OF THE AFFECTED FARM FIELD/SOIL UNIT TO DETERMINE IF THE DECOMPACTION OF THE AFFECTED "B" HORIZON HAS RESULTED IN A COMPACTION LEVEL NO GREATER THAN THAT OF THE UNAFFECTED LAND. WHERE NECESSARY, ADDITIONAL DEEP TILLAGE ACTIVITY SHALL BE UNDERTAKEN DURING PERIODS OF RELATIVELY LOW SOIL MOISTURE TO ENSURE THE DESIRED MITIGATION AND PREVENT ADDITIONAL SUBSURFACE COMPACTION.

6. BEFORE REPLACING TOPSOIL, ALL FOUR INCH OR LARGER ROCKS AND STONES WHICH ARE UPLIFTED FROM SUBSOIL, OR FRACTURED BEDROCK AS A RESULT OF CONSTRUCTION AND/OR DEEP TILLAGE ACTIVITIES, SHALL BE REMOVED FROM IMPACTED AGRICULTURAL LANDS.
