EROSION CONTROL MEASURES WILL BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES. IF FULL

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE APPROVED PLAN DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR EFFECTIVE

EROSION CONTROL, ADDITIONAL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES

SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED TO CONTROL OR TREAT THE SEDIMENT SOURCE.

THE ESCAPE OF SEDIMENT FROM THE SITE SHALL BE PREVENTED BY THE INSTALLING

OF EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES AND PRACTICES PRIOR TO, OR

CONCURRENT WITH LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITIES.

SPECIFICATION NOTE: This project is to be constructed using the Georgia Department

of Transportation's Standard Specifications 2001 Edition as approved by the Federal

Highway Administration and as modified by contract documents.

50

PRIOR TO THE LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITIES, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SCHEDULE A

PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING WITH THE AREA EROSION CONTROL/SITE DEVELOPMENT

INSPECTOR. CALL 811 TO CONTACT THE INSPECTOR AND CONFIRM UTILITIES.
