Groundwater and Dewatering‌ Clause Samples

Groundwater and Dewatering‌. A subsurface investigation conducted in August and September of 2018 and consisting of soil borings and groundwater well installations throughout the Project Route has determined that there are several locations where groundwater can be expected to be encountered during excavation activities associated with the Project. Based on these findings and a review of the 60 Percent Plan and Profile (“P&P”) Drawings dewatering will likely be required at several locations on the upland construction of the Project, most notably during excavation and installation of splice vaults (as further detailed in SOP EG-706 Excavation Dewatering). The results of the subsurface investigation do not indicate that groundwater along the Project route is likely to be contaminated. The Certificate Holder has prepared a SWPPP and will obtain the requisite Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (“MS4s”) acceptance of the SWPPP from the MS4s before construction begins. A list of MS4 administrators and their contact information are included with the SWPPP. In the event that dewatering is required, the Environmental Monitor will be notified prior to any dewatering activities. The Environmental Monitor will be responsible for assessing the water for obvious signs of contamination, such as separate-phase product, odors or sheens, before dewatering can begin. If the assessment shows noevidence of contamination, best management practices still need to be followed in order to avoid erosion and sediment migration concerns. Dewatering will follow the PSEG Long Island SOP EG-706 and will likely be performed by use of portable pumps drawing through a suction line and discharging through a flexible hose. Water will be pumped from the excavation, settled in a container, tank, or temporary basin and filtered through sediment filter bags before discharge into storm drains or sewer inlets. Per EG-706, filter fabric must be used over storm drains and sewer inlets prior to discharging any water to them. If no storm drains or other drainage systems are available, water may be discharged to the ground, provided the discharge location is down gradient from the excavation area and the affected property can accommodate the infiltration of the discharged water. In no such situations shall the water be discharged in private properties, wetlands, wetland adjacent areas or allowed to flow onto private properties, wetlands and wetland adjacent areas. In the event that contamination is suspected based on observed s...

Related to Groundwater and Dewatering‌

  • Groundwater Any water, except capillary moisture, beneath the land surface or beneath the bed of any stream, lake, reservoir or other body of surface water within the boundaries of this state, whatever may be the geologic formation or structure in which such water stands, flows, percolates, or otherwise moves.

  • Dewatering (a) Where the whole of a site is so affected by surface water following a period of rain that all productive work is suspended by agreement of the Parties, then dewatering shall proceed as above with Employees so engaged being paid at penalty rates as is the case for safety rectification work. This work is typically performed by Employees engaged within CW1, CW2 or CW3 classifications. When other Employees are undertaking productive work in an area or areas not so affected then dewatering will only attract single time rates. (b) Where a part of a site is affected by surface water following a period of rain, thus rendering some areas unsafe for productive work, consistent with the Employer’s obligations under the OH&S Act, appropriate Employees shall assist in the tidying up of their own work site or area if it is so affected. Where required, appropriate Employees will be provided with the appropriate PPE. Such work to be paid at single time rates. Productive work will continue in areas not so affected. (c) To avoid any confusion any ‘dewatering’ time which prevents an Employee from being engaged in their normal productive work is not included in any calculation for the purposes of determining whether an Employee is entitled to go home due to wet weather (refer clauses 32.4 and 32.5)

  • Clean Air Act For all contracts in excess of $100,000, both parties hereby agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or requirements issued under section 306 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857(h), Section 508 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1368), Executive Order 11738, and Environmental Protection MPHA regulations (40 CFR Part 15).

  • Clean Air (A) The CONTRACTOR agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7401 et seq. The CONTRACTOR agrees to report each violation to the COMMISSION and understands and agrees that the COMMISSION will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to FTA and the appropriate EPA Regional Office. (B) The CONTRACTOR also agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $100,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA.

  • Environmental Health and Safety i. Environment, Health and Safety Performance. Seller acknowledges and accepts full and sole responsibility to maintain an environment, health and safety management system ("EMS") appropriate for its business throughout the performance of this Contract. Buyer expects that Seller’s EMS shall promote health and safety, environmental stewardship, and pollution prevention by appropriate source reduction strategies. Seller shall convey the requirement of this clause to its suppliers. Seller shall not deliver goods that contain asbestos mineral fibers.
