CITY OF EVERETT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MANUAL <br /> Condifions of Use <br /> Erosion control work should never be "incidental"to the contract as it is extremely difficult for the <br /> contractor to bid the work. Work that is incidental to the contract is work where no separate measurement <br /> or payment is made. The cost for incidental work is included in payments made for applicable bid items <br /> in the schedule of unit prices. For example, any erosion control work associated with an item called <br /> "clearing and grubbing" is bid and paid for as part of that item, not separately. <br /> Effective means for payment of erosion control wark include: <br /> • Temporary erosion and sediment control lump sum <br /> • Temporary ESC force account <br /> • Unit prices <br /> • Lump sum. <br /> . 3.2.23 BMP C162: Scheduling <br /> " Purpose <br /> Sequencing a construction project reduces the amount and duration of soil exposed to erosion by wind, <br /> rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking. <br /> Conditions of Use <br /> The construction sequence schedule is an orderly listing of all major land-disturbing activities together <br /> with the necessary erosion and sedimentation control measures planned for the project. This type of <br /> schedule guides the contractor on work to be done before other work is started so that serious erosion and <br /> sedimentation problems can be avoided. <br /> Following a specified work schedule that coordinates the timing of land-disturbing activities and the <br /> installation of control measures is perhaps the most cost-effective way of controlling erosion during <br /> construction. The removal of surface ground cover leaves a site vulnerable to accelerated erosion. <br /> Construction procedures that limit land clearing, provide timely installation of erosion and sedimentation <br /> controls, and restore protective cover quickly can signiticantly reduce the erosion potential of a site. <br /> Design Considerations <br /> • Avoid rainy periods <br /> • Schedule projects to disturb only small portions of the site at any one time. Complete grading as <br /> . soon as possible. Immediately stabilize the disturbed portion before grading the next partion. <br /> � Practice staged seeding in order to revegetate cut and fill slopes as the work progresses. <br /> ' 3.3 Runoff Conveyance and Treatment Best Management Practices <br /> 3.3.1 BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale <br /> Purpose <br /> Provide a ridge of compacted soil, or a ridge with an upslope swale, at the top or base of a disturbed slope <br /> or along the perimeter of a disturbed construction area to convey stormwater. Use the dike and/or swale <br /> to intercept the runoff from unprotected areas and direct it to areas where erosion can be controlled. This <br /> can prevent storm runoff from entering the work area or sediinent-laden runoff from leaving the <br /> construction site. <br /> Volume ll— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention <br /> 3-35 <br />
