Common use of Borrow Pits Clause in Contracts

Borrow Pits. Borrow pits are covered under the ITP for a five-year period ending on March 1, 2004. 1. PALCO shall utilize the same mitigation requirements for borrow pits as those required for roads, including the prohibition on new borrow pits in the RMZs, prohibition on new borrow pits in the mass-wasting areas of concern prior to watershed analysis, road construction/reconstruction standards, and wet weather operations. 2. Borrow pits will be mapped and analyzed for site-specific and hydrologic unit scale impacts as part of watershed analysis. Additional mitigation and minimization measures for borrow pits may be required as a result of watershed analysis. Additional mitigation may include, but is not limited to, installation of sediment control structures, limitations on overburden placement and distribution, removal of spoil material, revegetation, and abandonment. 3. The wildlife agencies commit to work with PALCO to process an amendment to the HCP to continue coverage of borrow pits after the expiration of the initial five-year period.
