32. AssignmentsNeither party to the Contract shall assign the Contract, or any portion thereof without the

written consent of the other, nor shall the Contractor assign any monies due or to become due to him/her hereunder without notification to the Owner. Notification of Assignments, shall be given in accordance with the procedures and regulations of Eastern Kentucky University.

33. Separate Contracts33.1 Owner’s Right to Perform Construction and to Award Separate Contracts. The

Owner reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with the Project or to perform Work with its own forces. The Contractor shall afford other contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of their Work and shall properly connect and coordinate his/her Work with theirs.

33.2 If any part of the Contractor’s Work depends for proper execution or results upon the Work of any other contractor, the Contractor shall promptly report to the Architect any observed defects in such Work that render it unsuitable for proper execution or connection. His/her failure to inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other contractor’s Work as fit and proper for the reception of his/her Work, except as to defects which may develop in the other contractor’s Work after the execution of his/her Work.

33.3 Whenever Work being done by the Owner’s forces or by other contractors is contiguous to Work covered by this Contract, the respective rights of the various interests involved shall be established by the Architect to secure the completion of the various portions of the Work in general harmony.

33.4 Mutual Responsibility of Contractors. Should the Contractor cause damage to any separate contractor on the Work, the Contractor agrees, upon due notice, to settle with such contractor if (s)he will so settle. If such separate contractor sues the Owner on account of any damage alleged to have been so sustained, the Owner shall notify the Contractor who shall defend such proceedings at the Contractor’s expense and if any judgment against the Owner arises therefrom, the Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and pay all costs incurred by the Owner.

34. Cash AllowancesThe Contractor shall have included in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the

Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so designated to be done as the Owner may direct. If the actual price for purchasing the “allowed material” is more or less than the “cash allowance,” the Contract Sum shall be adjusted accordingly. The adjustment in Contract Sum shall be made on the basis of the purchase price without additional charges for overhead, profit, insurance or any

Page 41: EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

22 General Conditions

other incidental expenses. The cost of installation of the “allowed materials” shall be included in the applicable sections of the Contract specifications covering this Work.

35. Schedules35.1 The Contractor, within fifteen (15) days of the Date of Commencement shall

prepare and submit for the Owner and Architect’s approval a construction schedule for completing the Work. The schedule shall indicate the starting and completion dates of the various stages of the Work, shall not exceed time limits established by the Contract Documents for the various stages of Work, shall be updated monthly and furnished to the Owner and Architect, shall be related to the Work of any other contractors on the Project to the extent required by the circumstances, and shall provide for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work. The original schedule shall be accompanied by a proposed schedule of values as described in Article 39.1. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Architect and Owner if the Contractor is materially ahead of, or behind the updated construction schedule. Failure to so notify the Architect and Owner shall relieve the Owner from liability for damages caused by delay or impact. Strict compliance with the requirements of this paragraph shall be a condition precedent to payment to the Contractor, and failure by the Contractor to strictly comply with said requirements shall constitute a material breach of the Contract.

35.2 For projects with a contract amount of $1,000,000 or greater, the schedule shall be in critical path method (CPM) format. The schedules shall include all activities necessary for performance of the work showing logic (sequences, dependencies, etc.) duration of each activity with the critical path highlighted. The schedules shall include, but not be limited to, submittal processing, fabrication and delivery of materials, construction, testing clean-up, work and/or materials to be provided by the Owner, dates and durations for major utility outages requiring coordination with the Owner and the Owner’s operations, and significant milestones related to the completion of the Project.

36. Delays and Extensions of Time36.1 It is agreed that time is of the essence for each and every portion of the resulting

Contract and where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of any Work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence of the Contract. Provided, that the Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay in completion of the Work is due to: 36.1.1 any preference, priority, or allocation order duly issued by the government; 36.1.2 unforeseeable cause beyond the control and without the fault or

negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the Owner, acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Owner, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather; or

36.2 The Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of the occurrence of the event, notify the Architect in writing. The Architect shall ascertain the facts and extent of the delay and notify the Contractor within a reasonable time of its decision in the matter. Any change in the Contract Completion Time resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a Change Order. An extension of time shall not be construed as cause for extra compensation under the Contract. Extensions of time relating to concealed conditions as defined in Article 30 shall be governed by the provisions of that Article.

37. Shop Drawings; Submittals37.1 Schedule of Submittals. Prior to submission of the first application for payment

37.2 Submittals of Shop Drawings, Samples, etc.The Contractor shall review, approve, and submit Shop Drawings, samples, and product data in accordance with the approved schedule as herein detailed. The Contractor’s stamp of approval on any Shop Drawing or sample shall constitute a representation to Owner and Architect that the Contractor has either determined and verified all quantities, dimensions, field construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and similar data, or (s)he assumes full responsibility for doing so, and that (s)he has reviewed or coordinated each Shop Drawing or sample with the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents.

37.3 The Architect shall review and approve, with reasonable promptness, the Shop Drawings, or return for corrections as required. The review and approval shall be for conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents. The approval of a separate item will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions.

37.4 The Contractor shall make any corrections required by the Architect for compliance to the Contract and shall return the required number of corrected copies of Shop Drawings and resubmit new samples until approved. The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing, or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, to revisions other than the corrections called for by the Architect on previous submissions.

37.5 Where a Shop Drawing or sample submission is required by the specifications, no related work shall be commenced until the submission has been approved by the Architect. A copy of each approved Shop Drawing and each approved sample shall be kept in good order by the Contractor at the site and shall be available to the Architect.

37.6 The Architect’s approval of Shop Drawings or samples shall not relieve the Contractor from his/her responsibility for any deviations from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless the Contractor has in writing called the Architect’s attention to such deviation at the time of submission and the Architect has given written approval to the specific deviation, nor shall any approval by the Architect relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings.

37.7 The Contractor shall maintain a submittal log which shall include, at a minimum, the date of each submittal, the date of any resubmittal, the date of any approval or rejection, and the reason for any approval or rejection.

using the Contractor’s best skill and attention so as to ensure expeditious,

Page 43: EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

24 General Conditions

workmanlike performance in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures. (S)He shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by him/her, as (s)he is for Subcontractors and others under Article 21. (S)He shall be responsible for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract unless the Contract Documents give other specific instructions concerning these matters.

38.2 Obligations to Follow Contract Requirements. The Contractor shall not be relieved of obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents by the activities or duties of the Architect in the Architect’s administration of the Contract or by tests, inspections or approvals required or performed by persons other than the Contractor.

38.3 The Contractor shall not perform Work without adequate plans and specifications, or, as appropriate, approved Shop Drawings, or other submittals. If the Contractor performs Work knowing or believing it involves an error, inconsistency or omission without first providing written notice to the Architect and Owner, the Contractor shall be responsible for such Work and pay the cost of correcting same.

38.4 All work shall strictly conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. 38.5 The Work shall be continually supervised, the Contractor bearing full responsibility

for any and all acts or omissions of those engaged in the Work on behalf of the Contractor.

38.6 The Contractor shall at all times enforce strict discipline and good order among his/her employees and Subcontractors and shall not employ in the Work any person not skilled in the Work assigned to him/her.

38.7 The Contractor shall employ and maintain at the Project site only competent supervisory personnel.

38.8 The Contractor shall have a continuing duty to read, examine, review, compare and contrast each of the Contract Documents, Shop Drawings, and other submittals and shall give written notice to the Owner and the Architect of any potential conflict, ambiguity, error or omission which the Contractor may find with respect to these documents and their adequacy and sufficiency for construction as required by the Contract before proceeding with the affected Work. The express or implied approval by the Owner or the Architect of any Shop Drawings or other submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the continuing duties imposed hereby, nor shall any such approval be evidence of the Contractor’s compliance with the resulting Contract. The Owner has relied upon the Architect to prepare documents for the Project, including the plans and specifications for the Project, which are accurate, adequate, consistent, coordinated and sufficient for construction, and in issuing the Contract to the Contractor, the Owner’s established legal duties to the Contractor notwithstanding, the Owner has relied upon the Architect’s professional expertise in fulfilling its legal duty to the Owner in addition to the Contractor’s full and good faith compliance with its duties set forth above.

38.9 Superintendent. The Contractor shall employ a qualified, competent superintendent and any necessary assistants who shall be in attendance at the Project site during performance of the Work.

ceases to be in his/her employ, in which case the Contractor shall give timely prior written notice to the Owner of the impending change in superintendent and a reasonable explanation for the change; or

38.9.2 where the Owner has reasonable grounds for dissatisfaction with the performance of the superintendent and gives written notice to the Contractor of these grounds. The Contractor, upon receiving such written notice, shall replace the existing superintendent with a successor, to whom the Owner has no objection.

39. Payment The Owner shall make payments, less retainage, to the Contractor on the amount of the

Work performed or materials furnished for the Work in accordance with the following procedures:

39.1 Schedule of Values. At the same time it submits a construction schedule, within fifteen (15) days of the Date of Commencement, as provided in Article 35, the Contractor shall submit a Schedule of Values apportioning the Contract Sum among the different elements of the Project for purposes of periodic and final payment, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may require. The Contractor shall not imbalance its Schedule of Values, nor artificially inflate any element thereof. The violation of this provision by the Contractor shall constitute a material breach of the Contract. Upon written approval by the Architect and the Owner, the Schedule of Values and construction schedule shall become the basis for the Contractor’s Payment Requests during construction.

39.2 Application for Progress Payment. Not more often than once a month, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect a signed application for payment (sometimes referred to as Payment Request), for the Work completed as of the date of the application and accompanied by such data and schedules as the Architect may reasonably require. Therein, the Contractor may request payment less retainage for that part of the Contract Sum allocable to Contract requirements properly provided, labor, materials and equipment properly incorporated in the Project. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Project, but delivered and suitably stored at the Project site or at another location agreed to in writing by the Owner, the application for payments shall also be accompanied by such data, satisfactory to Owner, as will establish the Owner’s title to the material and equipment and protect his/her interest therein, including written documentation of full insurance against loss or damage and the bonding of the storage sites. Storage sites must be bonded. Each subsequent application for payment shall include an affidavit of the Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the Work have been applied to discharge in full all of the Contractor’s obligations reflected in prior applications for payment. Each Payment Request shall be signed by the Contractor and shall constitute the Contractor’s representation that the quantity of Work has reach the level for which payment is requested, that the Work has been properly installed or performed in strict compliance with this

The Architect shall review the application for payment and shall review the Work at the project site or elsewhere to determine whether the quantity and quality of the Work is as represented in the application for payment and is as required by this Contract. The Architect shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of each application for payment, approve in writing the amount which, in the opinion of the Architect, is properly owing to the Contractor. The Owner shall make payment to the Contractor within twenty (20) business days following the Architect’s written approval of each application for payment. A reasonable delay on the part of the Owner in making payment to the Contractor for any given payment shall not be a breach of contract. The amount of each such payment shall be the amount approved for payment by the Architect less such amounts, if any, otherwise owing by the Contractor to the Owner or which the Owner shall have the right to withhold as authorized by this Contract. The Architect’s approval of the Contractor’s application for payment shall not preclude the Owner from the exercise of any of its rights as set forth herein. The Contractor warrants and represents that, upon payment of the application for payment, title to all Work included in such payment shall be vested in the Owner.

39.4 Contractor’s Warranty of Title. The Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any application for payment, whether incorporated in the project or not, will pass to Owner at the time of payment free and clear of all encumbrance.

39.6 Completion, Acceptance, and Final Payment. Upon certification by the Architect of Substantial Completion of the Work, the Contractor shall continue to make normal pay requests as defined within this document. Within thirty (30) days after substantial completion, the Owner shall release the retainage less an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Owner’s reasonably estimated cost of the balance of any contractor’s contractually obligated, yet uncompleted, work remaining.

39.7 Final payment, shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when the Contract has been fully performed by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents and a final Certificate of Payment is issued by the Architect.

The Contractor shall submit with the application for final payment an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials, supplies and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work have been paid or otherwise satisfied, along with such supporting evidence of payment as the Architect requires. Final payment is conditioned on satisfactory compliance with this requirement.

39.8 Waiver of Claims. The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner except those arising from: >unsettled liens;>faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial Completion;

Page 46: EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

27 General Conditions

Such joint check procedure, if employed by the Owner, shall create no rights in favor of any person or entity beyond the right of the named payees to payment of the check and shall not be deemed to commit the Owner to repeat the procedure in the future. The Contractor shall, by an appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payment to his/her subcontractors in similar manner.

39.11 The Architect may, on request, furnish to any Subcontractor information regarding the percentage of completion of the amounts applied for by the Contractor and the action thereon by the Architect.

39.12 Neither the Owner nor the Architect shall have any obligation to make payment to any Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law.

39.13 Owner’s Rights Relating to Payments. Neither payment to the Contractor, utilization of the project for any purpose by the Owner, nor any act or omission by the Owner shall be interpreted or construed as an acceptance of any Work of the Contractor not strictly in compliance with this Contract.

39.14 The Owner shall have the right to refuse to make payment and, if necessary, may demand the return of a portion of all of the amount previously paid to the Contractor due to: >The quality of a portion, or all, of the Contractor’s Work not being in accordance

with the requirements of this Contract; >The quantity of the Contractor’s Work not being as represented in the

Contractor’s Payment Request, or otherwise; >Claims made, or likely to be made, against the Owner;>Loss caused by the Contractor;>The Contractor’s failure or refusal to perform any of its obligations to the owner.

43. Correction of Work43.1 Prior to the final payment, the Contractor shall promptly correct work which is

rejected by the Owner or Architect as failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. Such correction shall be required regardless of whether or not the nonconformities are observed before or after Substantial Completion, or whether or not the Work has been fully fabricated.

43.2 After the final payment is received, the Contractor is still responsible for correcting any work that fails to conform to the requirements of the contract documents. If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the work, or after the date for commencement of warranties, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the contract documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the contract documents, the Contractor shall correct is promptly after receipt of written notice from the owner to do so unless the owner has previously given the contractor a written acceptance of such condition. This period of one year shall be extended with respect to portions of work first performed after substantial completion by the period of time between substantial completion and the actual performance of the work.

43.3 In addition to correcting all nonconforming work and removing all nonconforming work or materials from the jobsite, the Contractor is responsible for all other costs of bringing the affected work into compliance with the contract documents. This includes costs of any additional required testing or inspection services, Architect’s or Engineer’s services, and any resulting damages to property.

43.4 Even after the Contractor is no longer specifically obligated to perform corrective work itself, the Contractor shall still be held liable for nonconforming work and for other breaches of his/her obligations under the contract documents.

43.5 If the Contractor fails to correct the nonconforming work within a reasonable time, the Owner may take the appropriate step to correct the work itself.

In such cases a Change Order shall be issued by theOwner with the approval of the Architect/Engineer with a reasonable deductionfrom the contract sum due to the need to correct nonconforming work. Theamount difference of the Change Order will be deducted from the remainingpayments to the Contractor.

43.6 If the Owner deems it impractical to correct work which is not in accordance to the requirements in the contract documents, a Change Order shall be issued by the Owner with the approval of the Architect/Engineer with a reasonable deduction from the contract sum due to the incorrect work. The amount of the Change Order will be deducted from the remaining payments to the Contractor.

43.7 Ongoing liability of Contractor for defective work. The foregoing provisions establishing the specific obligation of the Contractor to perform corrective work do not establish a period of limitations on other obligations of the Contractor under the contract documents.

30 General Conditions

44.2 Other Suspension. In the event the Owner should be prevented or enjoined by court order from proceeding with the Work or from authorizing its prosecution, either before or after the award, for a period up to ninety (90) days, the delay shall not constitute cause for termination by the Contractor and the Contractor shall not be entitled to make or assert claim for damage by reason of said delay, but time for completion of Work shall be extended to such reasonable time as the Owner may determine will compensate for time lost by such delay. Such determination shall be set forth in a Change Order shall be final and binding upon both parties, and shall not require the signature of the Contractor to be in effect.

In this incidence and upon resumption of the work, a Change Order shall be issued adjusting the contract price or extending the contract completion time, or both to compensate the costs and delays attributable to stopping the work. Any such compensation is subject to the provisions, conditions and limitations outlined in Article 30.

45. Termination45.1 Termination of Contract for Convenience of Owner. The Owner, for any reason

whatsoever, may terminate the Contract for its own convenience when it determines that such termination will be in the best interest of the University.

Page 50: EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

31 General Conditions

45.1.1 The Contractor shall submit a termination claim to the Owner and the Architect specifying the amounts due because of the termination for convenience together with costs, pricing or other data required by the Owner or the Architect. If the Contractor fails to file a termination claim within one (1) year from the effective date of termination, the Owner shall pay the Contractor, an amount derived in accordance with paragraph (45.1.3) below;

45.1.2 The Owner and the Contractor may agree to the compensation, if any, due to the Contractor hereunder pursuant to 200 KAR 5:312 Section 2;

services accepted under this Contract; 45.1.3.2 Reasonable costs incurred in preparing to perform and in

performing the terminated portion of the Work and in terminating the Contractor’s performance, plus a fair and reasonable allowance for direct jobsite overhead and profit thereon (such profit shall not include anticipated profit or consequential damages); provided however, that if it appears that the Contractor would have not profited or would have sustained a loss if the entire Contract would have been completed, no profit shall be allowed or included and the amount of compensation shall be reduced to reflect the anticipated rate of loss, if any;

45.1.3.3 Reasonable costs of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of subcontracts or orders pursuant to the initial Paragraph of 45.1. These costs shall not include amounts paid in accordance with other provisions hereof.

A. General: The proposed development and land disturbance activity is located along KY Route 32(Elizaville Rd.) between Flemingsburg and Ewing, in Fleming County. The site is occupied byan existing school building and parking lots. The eastern portion of the site that is to receive fill,drains toward KY 32 and into the roadway storm sewer. The area to be disturbed to the north andwest of the site drains to the rear of the property, and toward an off-site tributary and lake on theheadwaters of Town Branch of the Licking River. The total property area planned to be disturbedduring construction operations is approximately 5 acres.

The location(s) for the site and the runoff discharge points are:

Latitude Longitude

Runoff Discharge 37°21’56” N 84°21’47” W

B. Site Conditions: the topography of the site exhibits 30-40 feet of elevation change within theproject area.

C. Critical Areas:1. KY461 (Cumberland Lake Pkwy.): It is crucial for the motoring public to prevent mud

and debris from entering the roadway, adjoining sidewalks,

1.5 MATERIAL INVENTORY

4. Metal Studs5. Tar6. Metal Roofing7. Fertilizers8. Masonry Block9. Wood10. Petroleum Products

PART 2 - CONTROL

2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES

A. The erosion and sediment control measures will be typical of a small scale earth moving siteincluding:

1. Construction Entrance2. Dust and Pollutant Control3. Fertilizer Application Control4. Mulching - Permanent and Temporary5. Silt Traps6. Silt Fence Silt Control7. Land Grading8. Permanent Seeding/Sodding9. Inlet Protection

2.2 BMP Plan

A. The permittee shall modify the BMP plan when there is a change in design, construction,operation, or maintenance of the sire which has significant effect on the potential for the dischargeof pollutants tot the waters of the Commonwealth and shall implement the changes within seven(7) days.

B. The permittee shall amend the BMP plan if it proves to be ineffective in controlling the dischargeof pollutants to the waters of the Commonwealth and shall implement the changes within seven(7) days.

2.3 STABILIZATION PRACTICES

A. Temporary Stabilization: Temporary stabilization of top soil stockpiles and disturbed portions ofthe site shall begin within 14 days on areas where construction activities have temporarily (for 21days or more) ceased. Temporary stabilization can be accomplished through seeding Rye (grain)applied at 120 pounds per acre and/or straw mulching at a rate of 4,000 pounds of straw per acre.

B. Permanent Stabilization: Disturbed portions of the site where construction activity permanentlyceases shall be stabilized with permanent seed or sodded no later than 14 days after the lastconstruction activity. The following seed mixture shall be planted between Feb 1 to April 15, andAug. 2 to Sept. 15:

1. Spring Oats or Winter Wheat: 50 lb/acre2. Red Clover: 5 lb/acre

Page 66: EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

KEU Kit Carson Drive Water Line May 2019

SWPPP 311100 - 4

3. Orchard Grass: 35 lb/acre 4. White or Ladino Clover 5 lb/acre

Prior to seeding, ground agricultural limestone at rate specified by soil test and 220lbs/acre of 20-26-6 fertilizer shall be applied to each acre stabilized. Seeding shall be done with a hydroseeding process as specified. Steep slopes and drainage channels shall be sodded. Follow specs for post fertilization and maintenance for watering, etc.

C. Dust Control: apply water, polyacrylamide, or other stabilizers to bare areas if windblown dustbecomes a problem. Vegetative cover is the most effective means of dust and erosion control.

D. Storm Water Management: The development of the site will not result in increased runoff duringconstruction. However, the CONTRACTOR shall conduct all operations responsibly to preventoff-site sedimentation. Curb and gutter, catch basins, yard drains and piping will provide stormwater capture and control. Roof rains will be piped underground to the storm drain system toprevent surface splash and erosion. The structural control measures detailed on the ErosionControl Plan are proposed to minimize the impact of erosion. A water quality unit will providepermanent water quality to runoff before it leaves the site and enters the public storm sewer.

E. The CONTRACTOR shall also manage the site as needed according to the following checklist:1. Manage the site into infiltrate storm water into the ground and keep sediment out of

storm drains.2. Minimize the amount of exposed soil on site at any one time to the extent possible.3. Plan the project in stages to minimize the amount of area that is bare and subject to

erosion.4. Vegetate disturbed areas with permanent or temporary seeding immediately upon

1. Water from water line sterilization/flushing. All water to be treated, neutralized, andhandled per Kentucky Division of Water regulations.

2. Pavement wash waters (where no spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials haveoccurred)

3. Uncontaminated ground water (from dewatering excavation as applicable).

2.5 SEQUENCE OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES

A. The CONTRACTOR shall prepare his BMP implementation schedule based on the followingoutline of major activities:

Construction Activity Schedule Consideration Construction Access – entrance to site, construction routes, equipment parking areas

This is the first land disturbing activity. As soon as construction begins, stabilize any bare areas with gravel and temporary vegetation.

Sediment traps and sediment fences

After construction site is accessed, principal sediment fence barriers, as applicable, should be installed, with addition of temporary traps and barriers as needed during grading operation

Runoff control – diversions, perimeter dikes, water bars, outlet protection

Key practices should be installed after the installation of principal sediment traps and before land grading. Additional runoff control measures may be installed during grading as required.

Land Clearing and grading – site preparation (topsoil strip, excavation, fill placement, grading, sediment traps, barriers, diversions, drains, surface roughening)

Implement major clearing and grading after installation of principal sediment and run off control measures, and install additional control measures as grading continues. Clear burrow and disposal areas as required, and mark tree and buffers for preservation. Clearing will be kept to a minimum.

Surface stabilization - temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, sodding, riprap

Temporary or permanent stabilizing measure should be applied immediately to any disturbed areas where work has been either completed or delayed 21 days. Land disturbance will be scheduled to limit exposure of bare soils to erosive elements to the extent possible.

Page 68: EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

KEU Kit Carson Drive Water Line May 2019

SWPPP 311100 - 6

Building construction – buildings, utilities, storm piping, curb and gutter, paving

During construction, install any erosion and sediment control measures that are needed per the attached specific control plan and according to local regulatory agency, i.e., additional intlet control, etc. install gravel areas for building material lay down and for vehicular traffic.

Landscaping and final stabilization – backfilling, topsoil replacement, trees, shrubs, permanent seeding, sodding, riprap

Last construction phase. Vegetation and mulch will be applied to applicable areas immediately after final grading is completed. Stabilize all open areas including, borrow and fill areas, remove and stabilize temporary control measures as prescribed on the accompanying erosion control plan sheets.

B. Timing of Controls/Measures: as indicated on the Sequence of Major Activities, silt fences andconstruction entrances will be constructed prior to clearing or grading on other portions of the site.Areas where construction activity ceases for more than 21 days will be stabilized with temporaryseed and mulch within 14 days of the last disturbance. Once construction activity ceasespermanently in an area, that area will be stabilized with permanent seed and mulch o sod asspecified. After the entire site is stabilized, the accumulated sediment will be removed from thetrap or basin and the check dams and silt fence removed as applicable.

2.6 SPILL PREVENTION

A. Good Housekeeping: The following are material management practices that will be used to reducethe risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to storm water runoff.

1. An effort will be made to store only enough product to do the job.2. All materials stored in a neat, orderly manner in their appropriate containers and, if

possible, under a roof or other enclosure.3. Portable restrooms are to be located so that any spill will not enter into the storm water

runoff.4. Products will be kept in their original containers with original manufacturer’s label.5. Substances will not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the manufacturer.6. Whenever possible, all of a product will be used up before disposing of the container.7. Manufacturers’ recommendations for proper use and disposal will be followed.8. The site superintendent will inspect daily to ensure proper use and disposal of materials

onsite.9. Petroleum products if stored on-site are to be contained within a boule wall steel tank.

The tank is to be inside of a bermed area lined with 6 mil plastic. Containment area is tobe capable of withholding the entire contents of the tank in the event of a catastrophicspill.

B. Hazardous Products: Hazardous materials are not expected to be brought to the site, if they arerequired then the guidelines below should be followed.

1. Product will be kept in original containers unless they are not resalable.2. Original labels and material safety data sheets will be retained for product information.3. If surplus product must be disposed of, manufacturer’s, local government, and state

recommended methods for proper disposal shall be followed.
