8.6 ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, its non-Federal sponsor the South Florida

Water Management District, and contractors commit to avoiding, minimizing, or

mitigating for adverse effects during construction activities by taking the

following actions:

1. Employ best management practices with regard to erosion and turbidity

control. Prior to construction, the construction team should examine all areas of

proposed erosion/turbidity control in the field, and make adjustments to the plan

specified in the plan control device as warranted by actual field conditions at the

time of construction.

2. The contract specifications will prohibit the contractor from dumping oil, fuel,

or hazardous wastes in the work area and will require that the contractor adopt

safe and sanitary measures for the disposal of solid wastes. A spill prevention

plan will be prepared by the contractor.

3. Demolition debris would be transported to a landfill or otherwise disposed of

in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements. Concrete or paving

materials would be disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and local

requirements.

4. Contractor staff would be informed of the potential presence of threatened

and endangered species in the project area, the need for precautionary measures

and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) prohibition on taking listed species.

Construction contractors will be trained and briefed on how to identify the wood

storks and bald eagles in the area. The USFWS will be notified upon

observation of any stork or eagle nesting activity.

5. The following special measures will be incorporated during project

construction to minimize effects to any listed species that may be present: a)

Standard protection measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake; b) Management

Guidelines for the Bald Eagle in the Southeast Region and Bald Eagle Standard

Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species; and c) Habitat Guidelines

for the Woodstork in the Southeast Region.

6. If new electrical lines are constructed near open water to service new pumps,

the publication Suggested Practices for Raptor Protection on Power lines: The

State of the Art in 1996 shall be consulted for recommended measures to protect

bald eagles from electrocution.
