When transporting material during site preparation or construction, measures shall be used to prevent material from spilling or blowing onto streets and highways. Specific control measures shall be noted on grading plans. 4(a): The area near the wetland along the western end of the alignment will be fenced off as an Environmentally Sensitive Area and lined with construction and silt fencing to prevent heavy equipment or potential sediment movement outside the project footprint. The District will use heavy equipment upslope of the trench and all materials will be sidecast away from the wetland. An environmental y monitor will be on-site during construction near the wetland habitat to prevent indirect impacts to the wetland.
