Emergency Road work definition
Emergency Road work. Permittee may remove obstructions and sediment at any time if the obstructions and sediment would reasonably be expected to cause substantial damage to resources or cause the facility to fail outside the time periods specified above. If heavy equipment is used, please notify CDFW within 14 days after completing activity using the emergency work form (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/Conservation/LSA/Forms). Avoidance and Minimization Measures: To avoid or minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources identified above, Permittee shall implement each measure listed below. Except where otherwise stipulated in this Agreement, all work shall be in accordance with the project description submitted with Notification No. 1600-2018-0571-R1 and THP 1-18-101 MEN, as revised as of November 5, 2018. The usual June 1 through October 15 work period is extended as follows: Work may be conducted in or near the stream during the late season work period (October 15 through November 15), for Class III watercourses — April 15 to June 1, if the channel is dry until the cumulative precipitation threshold is met, provided adherence to all conditions in this Agreement and a) – f) below. The Permittee shall complete any unfinished encroachment work, including erosion control measures, within 24 hours of CDFW directing the Permittee to do so. Prior to any work at a site, the Permittee shall stock-pile erosion control materials at the site. All bare mineral soil exposed in conjunction with crossing construction, deconstruction, maintenance or repair or removal shall be treated for erosion immediately upon completion of work on the crossing, and prior to the onset of precipitation capable of generating runoff. Erosion control shall consist of at least 2 to 4 inches straw mulch with greater than 90% coverage and, if seed is used, seeding shall be at a rate of 100 lbs/acre equivalent barley seed. Annual (Italian) ryegrass (Festuca perennis) shall not be used. Use of newly constructed crossings during the late season work period shall cease when precipitation is sufficient to generate overland flow off the road surface, or when use of the crossing is causing rutting of the road surface. Crossing use shall not resume until the road bed is dry, defined as a road surface which is no wetter than that found during normal dust abatement watering treatments and is not rutting or pumping fines or causing a visible turbidity increase in the stream or water sources leading to the stream.
