The work shall consist of waterway debris removal in designated areas. The scope of work will include the removal, transporting, and disposal of the debris in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) has established protocols including definitions to address asbestos containing materials to comply with Louisiana Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (LESHAP) Regulations for hurricane demolition debris. The contractor must supply water transportation via power boat for the monitor, Parish, and its authorized representatives where necessary at the work site. Debris shall not be stockpiled along any navigable right of ways (ROWs). Debris that is cleared and piled for removal must be removed that same day. The contractor shall immediately repair and/or clean all roadways, sidewalks, levees, canal banks, utilities, pipelines, drainage structures and other features that are damaged by contractor operations. This will include re-sloping damaged surfaces to original grade. The contractor is advised that draft for these waterways will vary. Shallow draft barges may be required to prevent damage to the water bottom. The contractor shall not rub or disturb the water bottom during debris removal activities. If the contractor completes any activities outside of the permitted scope of work, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DNR) deems such activity to be a violation to the permit, the contractor will be responsible for permitting and mitigating the activities through the USACE and DNR as necessary.
