B. At least 24 hours prior to the commencement of dredging operations, Contractor shall allow the Port Engineer or designee to observe the Contractor’s equipment. Contractor shall correct any equipment deficiencies prior to the start of dredging. C. All rubbish, garbage, and other discarded solid material resulting from dredging operations shall be retained in containers until removal by the Contractor for recycling or upland disposal at an approved licensed landfill. D. All chemical waste from the dredge, such as oil and grease, shall be retained in tanks or containers designed and approved for that use and pumped off or otherwise properly removed for proper disposal by Contractor. E. To protect rock fill and fender piles, no dredge material shall be removed below the Required Dredge Elevation within 10 feet of any pier face. F. During the dredging, a steel grid "grizzly" with twelve inch square maximum openings shall be placed over the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of the dump scow for material processing. All dredged material shall be dropped onto the grid. Details of the "grizzly" are subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval via approval of the Dredging Operations Manual. Material retained on the “grizzly” will be treated as debris. G. Solid debris, man-made objects and dredge material remaining on the grid “grizzly” shall be removed for subsequent off-loading for proper recycling or disposal at a licensed facility by the Contractor. H. Contractor shall cease operations immediately if adjacent piers, aprons, wharf or structures appear to be in danger of structural failure and shall immediately notify the Port’s Engineer or designee. Contractor shall not resume operations at that site until directed to do so by the Port Engineer or designee. I. Contractor shall cease operations immediately if riprap, rock fill, etc., is encountered during dredging and shall immediately notify the Port’s engineer. Contractor shall not resume operations in the immediate area until directed to do so by the Port Engineer. Contractor may relocate away from the immediate area and resume operations provided no additional riprap, rock fill, etc., is encountered. J. Dredging operations shall be conducted using equipment and procedures designed to minimize water turbidity. K. Contractor shall notify the Engineer immediately of any unforeseen conditions. L. Contractor shall repair all damage caused by the dredging operations to the extent required to restore the site to its previous condition at no cost to the Port or Port tenant. Repairs shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Port Engineer. M.

N. Noise control and abatement 1. Contractor shall provide state-of-the-art mufflers, silencers, and noise control features for all equipment. 2. Contractor shall utilize least noisy procedures and use machines such as electric-powered rather than diesel-powered equipment whenever there is a choice. 3.
