Soil Erosion Control Clause Samples
The Soil Erosion Control clause establishes requirements for preventing and managing soil erosion during construction or land development activities. It typically mandates the implementation of specific measures such as silt fences, sediment basins, or ground cover to minimize the displacement of soil and prevent sediment from leaving the site. This clause ensures that environmental impacts are mitigated, regulatory compliance is maintained, and potential damage to surrounding properties or waterways is avoided.
Soil Erosion Control. The Contractor shall be responsible for controlling soil erosion and sedimentation resulting from the Work until all disturbed areas have been permanently stabilized. He shall not allow the Work to cause siltation of any creek, stream, tributary, river, pond, lake, or other body of water. All of the Work shall be accomplished in conformance with the "Manual For Erosion And Sediment Control In Georgia," fifth edition, published by the Georgia Soil And Water Conservation Commission.
Soil Erosion Control. If any exterior ground work is required, the construction management plan should address the methods to be used to prevent the loss of topsoil through wind or storm water erosion, and to prevent dust and particulate matter from escaping into the surrounding air during the construction process. ■ Indoor Air Quality/Volatile Organic Compounds. The construction management plan must also address indoor air quality by establishing procedures to reduce emissions from the materials used in the construction and furnishing processes. This would include require- ments for the use of low- or no-VOC paints, solvents, adhesives, furniture, carpeting and fabrics. When construction is complete, the building should be flushed out using 100 percent outside air for at least two weeks or until indoor air testing indicates that the concentration levels for chemical air contaminants are below specified levels, and then the filtration media should be replaced.31 ■ Water Efficiency. To reduce the use of potable water and the burden on the building’s wastewater system, low-flow faucets, toilets and shower heads (if appli- cable) should be required. Fire systems, domestic water systems and landscape irrigation systems should be maintained and metered separately.32 ■ ENERGY STAR Equipment. Installation of ENERGY STAR-rated equipment and appliances should be required including, but not limited to, lighting, electrical ballasts and controls, and kitchen equip- ment, if applicable. Such equipment and appliances must conform to the building’s standards for energy management and connect into the building controls and monitoring systems. Daylight-responsive controls should also be required in all occupied spaces within 15 feet of windows and under skylights.
Soil Erosion Control. This work consists of furnishing, installing, and maintaining permanent and temporary erosion and sediment control measures to minimize erosion and sedimentation during and after work. When working adjacent to live water or streams a buffer of vegetation, a brush barrier, temporary silt fence or straw dike will be maintained to prevent direct sedimentation to the stream.
