If impaired, the Contractor shall take action within 24‐hours of identifying the deficiency to repair the sediment control structures. Split or torn segments shall be repaired or replaced.

Sediment controls will be left in place following completion of the project unless directed to be removed by the Project Manager. Measurement for Payment Measurement will be by the lineal foot of straw wattle installed. Project Manager will measure the lineal feet of straw wattle installed and accepted, and report the measured footage to Contractor. The price bid shall include all costs for labor, materials, equipment and all other items necessary for installation of the straw wattles as described in these specifications.

ITEM 4.0 – VEGETATION CLEARING The vegetation, including all trees, stumps, logs, shrubs, grass, weeds, fallen timber and other surface vegetation, in a two acre area outlined by the Project Manager will be removed to mitigate the potential for catching fire. All vegetation, including roots if possible, will be completely removed for 50 feet in all directions from any vent. Woody vegetation, such as trees and stumps, will be cut to the surface of the ground in the 50 foot area surrounding the vents. Vents will be identified by the Project Manager. If an unmarked vent is encountered, the Project Manager must be notified immediately. Any vegetation that is within the two acre area that is beyond 50 feet from a vent will be cut to the surface of the ground and the roots may remain in place. Woody vegetation, such as trees and stumps, will be cut to within six inches of the ground surface beyond the 50 feet from a vent.
