The Bureau of Reclamation's construction <br />personnel monitor the contractor's activities to ensure compliance <br />with the specifications and applicable Federal and State 1.aws and <br />regulations. <br /> <br />Many of the requirements of Bureau specifications are normal <br />policies and procedures and are not considered to be mitigation. <br />Included in this category are removal and disposal of debris and <br />grading of construction sites. Safety requirements such as those <br />relating to explosives, drilling, blasting, reseeding and planting <br />of vegetation are related to mitigation of construction. <br />Revegetation will be included in major construction contracts. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1. Environmental Quality Protection <br /> <br />Standard environmental quality protection specification paragraphs <br />have been developed for use in Bureau specifications. These <br />standard paragraphs arc modified RS needed for each job to ensure <br />that all special conditions and requirements are given adequate <br />considerations.
