By our signatures below, we certify that we have read and understood the Order of Conditions
for the work proposed and that we shall comply with said Orders.
A sequencing plan for construction and erosion and sedimentation control installation is
attached. An on -site pre- construction meeting will be held with a representative of the
Commission or its agent once all erosion controls are installed. A copy of the Order of
Conditions will be kept on site, and will be accessible to all contractors whenever work is
occurring on site.

Construction Activities and Sequence
Approach
Development will proceed according to a specific construction sequence, the objective of which
is to minimize the amount of sediment laden runoff through implementation of a variety of
recommended soil sedimentation and erosion control practices. Procedures and application
techniques shall conform with the details shown on the drawings.
1. Heavy construction activities (earthwork) will be scheduled for periods when soil
saturation is low and soil loss hazard is at minimum risk.
2. Earthwork operations shall be suspended for major storm events and additional
sedimentation and erosion control measures will be placed, as necessary.
3. Staging of the construction activities such that only those areas of the site scheduled for
immediate development are disturbed and activities scheduled for later development are
not started prematurely.
4. There will be no large cuts or fills left as raw areas. Sub -grade will be achieved as soon
as possible and an established procedure of temporary seeding and /or cover with erosion
protection will be followed to insure minimum soil loss.
5. All surfaces designated for paving will have the sub -base, base and binder installed as
soon as possible. Where feasible, the storm drainage system will be installed to provide
control of surface runoff.
6. Construction staging areas will be located outside of wetland resource areas and buffer
zones.
7. Siltation socks and fences will secure the perimeter of the site.
8. A stabilized construction entrance will be established. The entrance will be comprised of
a thirty foot wide, crushed stone bed extending sixty feet into the construction site. Tire
washes will be provided if the stabilized construction entrance is deemed inadequate
under certain site conditions. Under no circumstances will detergents be used in the
washing process.
9. A Tree Protection Plan for construction is included with this document in addition to
sheets 18 and 19 of the construction documents dated 8/24/09 prepared by Carol R.
Johnson Landscape Architects.
Phase 1
1.
2.
General site assessment to establish construction limits,
designate one construction entrance and set barriers
Install all peripheral sediment and erosion barriers and
construction entrances in accordance with plans
Phase II
1.
Clear site as required to accommodate the construction.
Cut and chip brush and remove stumps from the site to be
disposed of in a proper manner
2.
Strip topsoil and stockpile materials to be reused in a
suitable location within the construction area on site.
3.
Protect stockpiles by ringing with staked hay bales or silt
fence.
4.
Install wick drains.
5.
Install surcharge material in footprint of building to be
constructed as noted on sheet 16 of plans dated 8/24/09
Phase III
1.
Excavate site to sub grade. Install all required check
dams to stabilize embankments. No raw cuts or fill shall
be left exposed to the elements. Cover all exposed areas
if no work is anticipated within a two week period or if
significant rainfall is anticipated. Survey, stake and place
new curbing, catch basin, concrete pads, drainage pipe,
and connect site utility services
2.
Install site drainage components.
3.
Install site lighting as required on plans
4.
Place erosion and sedimentation controls around new and
existing catch basins
5.
Begin construction of building foundation and structure
Phase IV
1.
Remove surcharge material
2.
Install sub -base and base material for pavements. Install
binder course.
Phase V
1.
Finalize pavement activities.
2.
Respread topsoil to designated areas
3.
Install new plantings. Begin with site perimeter planting
in buffer areas to achieve early stabilization, then plant
site interior areas, then plant seed
4.
Clean up site but leave remaining erosion and
sedimentation controls in place until site is stabilized.
