MAR-20-02 10.90 FROM.EVER//ETT PLANNING DEPT ID.926226713742 PACE 13/26 <br />• Construction staging areas must be located outside of environmentally sensitive areas and <br />their buffers, unless determined by the Planning Director to be infeasible. Streams, <br />wetlands, buffers, staging areas and construction limits shall be clearly shown on <br />construction plans. Construction limits shall be clearly marked in the field with orange <br />construction fencing. <br />• Work shall be done so as to minimize turbidity, erosion, and other water quality impacts. <br />Proper erosion and sediment control measures shall be followed to prevent sediments <br />from entering creeks or wetlands. Erosion control measures shall be approved by the <br />Department of Engineering and Public Services mid/or agencies with jurisdiction, <br />Measures may include, but tot be limited to, placing plywood across the area where <br />equipment will operate; n. ing the wetland areas where equipment will operate; <br />placing wood chips atop a flexible mat to help prevent compaction (the wood chips and <br />mat must be removed following constructinn); placing silt fences and hay bales between <br />construction areas and all adjacent wetlands and streams; and placing ecology blocks <br />between construction areas and streams or wetlands when a temporary fill is used for <br />roads, etc. <br />r • Erosion control measures shall be in place and inspected prior to commencement of work. <br />All erosion control structures shall be inspected regularly to ensure they are maintained in <br />working order. <br />• If a pipe is being trenched through the area, measures shall be taken to prevent the de - <br />watering of the wetland (e.g. cut off collars, etc.). <br />• When operating machinery in or near water, extreme care shall be taken to prevent any <br />petroleum products, cement, chemicals, or other toxic or deleterious materials from <br />entering the water. If a spill does occur, work shall be stopped immediately and <br />Ecology's Spill Response Section contacted. <br />• Equipment maintenance shall not occur in or adjacent to wetlands and streams. <br />• After construction, the site must be returned to its original grades. Care must be taken to <br />not drain wetlands or alter water flows or patterns. <br />• Whenever feasible, if wetland plant species are not invasive, they should be removed <br />prior to construction and placed aside in a shady damp location, such as under wet burlap <br />sacks. Following construction, they should be replaced in the wetland area. <br />
