| Contractors/Project Managers |
- For projects including site improvement activities, develop and submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to Facilities Planning and Construction (FPC) for review and approval.
- For projects including site improvement activities impacting one acre or more of land, in addition to the above, prepare an Notice of Intent for Generic Permit for Large/Small Construction Activities and submit to the Flordia Department of Environmental Protection. Since the Contractor is in charge of his/her site and the activities thereon, this is a requirement of the Contractor, not the University. A copy is to be provided to Facilities Planning and Construction for proof of submission.
- Take all practical and necessary efforts to prevent erosion and transport of sediment materials from the site.
- Erect at the beginning of the project and maintain throughout the project all erosion control barriers as developed in the SWPPP.
- Construct any stormwater collection and treatment system that is part of the project or needed to control turbid discharges from activities such as dewatering and subsurface improvement operations at the beginning of the project so subsequent silts, sediments and other pollutants are collected and contained on site.
- Sweep adjacent roads and parking areas that are affected by the construction process on a daily basis.
- Control fugitive dust originating from the project. Ensure any runoff from such efforts are directed and contained by the erosion control measures established in the SWPPP.
- After every rain, inspect all erosion control devices and stormwater collection and treatment systems to ensure that their integrity has been maintained.
- Do not wash painting equipment or dispose of cleaning solvents onto the ground.
- Check equipment for oil and other fluid leaks and repair immediately if observed.
- Don’t change oils and mechanical fluids on University property.
- Report any oil and/or fuel spills to the appropriate University representative/Project Manager.
- Provide waste receptacles and dumpsters needed for the disposal of all trash and debris. Disposal of such materials is to be removed from the University’s property and transported to a legal receiving facility during the progression and at the conclusion of the project.
