5.0 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
5.01 TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION. It is the meaning and intent of this
Contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed
to prosecute his Work at such times and seasons, in such order of precedence, and in such manner
as shall be most conducive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and the
time of prosecution shall be such that the Work shall be Substantially Completed as a whole and in
part, in accordance with this Contract and the Contract Time; provided, also, that when the
OWNER is having other work done, either by contract or by his own forces, the ENGINEER may
direct the time and manner of constructing the Work done under this Contract, so that conflict will
be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the OWNER shall be
harmonized, and the CONTRACTOR shall fully cooperate and coordinate its Work with OWNER
or such other contractors.
The CONTRACTOR shall submit, an updated schedule with every pay estimate for review by the
ENGINEER, schedules which shall show the order in which the CONTRACTOR proposes- to
carry on the Work, with dates on which the CONTRACTOR will start the several parts of the
work, and estimated dates of completion of the several parts. Such schedules shall show
completion of the Work within the Contract Time, and/or shall show such recovery efforts as
CONTRACTOR intends to undertake in the event Substantial Completion of the Work is delayed.
5.02 EXTENSION OF TIME. The CONTRACTOR agrees that he has submitted his
Bid Proposal in full recognition of the time required for the completion of this Project, taking into
consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions prevailing in this locality, and
has considered the liquidated damage provisions as hereinafter set forth, and that he shall not be
entitled to, nor will he request, an extension of time on this Contract, except when Substantial
Completion of the Work has been delayed solely by strikes, lockouts, fires, Acts of God, or by any
other cause which the ENGINEER shall decide justifies the delay. The CONTRACTOR shall give
the ENGINEER prompt notice, in writing and within three (3) days of the start of any such delay,
of the cause of any such delay, and its estimated effect on the Work and the schedule for i
completion of the Work. Upon receipt of a written request for an extension of the Contract Time
from the CONTRACTOR, supported by relevant and all requested documentation, the
ENGINEER shall submit such written request, together with his written recommendation, to the
08-2018 00700- 18 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
OWNER for consideration. If the delay is not attributable in whole or in part to any act or
omission of CONTRACTOR, its subcontractors or suppliers, and if the OWNER determines that
CONTRACTOR is entitled to an extension of time under`the terms of the Contract, the OWNER
shall grant an extension of time for Substantial Completion of the Work, sufficient to compensate
for the delay, and such extension of time shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy,
except as may be otherwise provided herein. No extensions of Contract Time shall be made for
delays occurring prior to the Contractor's mobilization as defined in Section 01505
MOBILIZATION.
The Contract Time as defined in the Bid Proposal and other sections herein incorporates
40 Rain Days per calendar year or an average of 3.33 days per calendar month. The
CONTRACTOR is required to keep record of all weather related delays and to submit the monthly
count on each Pay Application. The Owner's Representative shall review and sign off on this
record as a part of the Pay Application approval process every month. If, during preparation of the
Balancing Change Order, the status of the work progress requires an extension of the Contract
Time, Impact Days shall be added to the Completion Date equal to the total number of Weather or
Impact Days approved less the original 40 days resident in the original Contract Time. The
Addition of Weather or Impact Days will only alter the Contract Time when added by Change
Order. If the Work is completed prior to the Completion Date, No Days will be added. The
addition of Weather or Impact Days shall be the CONTRACTOR's sole remedy for delays to the
completion of the Work and their addition to the Contract Time shall not affect the Contract Price
through any "per diem" adjustment to the General Conditions costs, Temporary Facilities costs or
any other costs associated with the extension of the Contract Time.
5.03 HINDRANCES AND DELAYS. In executing the Contract, the CONTRACTOR
agrees that in undertaking to complete the Work within the time herein fixed, he has taken into
consideration and made allowances for all interference, disruption, hindrances and delays incident
to such Work, whether growing out of delays in securing material, workmen or otherwise. No
claim shall be made by the CONTRACTOR for damages, loss, costs or expense resulting from
interference,disruption, hindrances or delays from any cause during the progress of any portion of
the Work embraced in this Contract, except where the Work is stopped or suspended by order of
the OWNER's representative and such stoppage or suspension is not attributable to any act or
omission of CONTRACTOR.
5.04 SUSPENSION OF WORK. OWNER may, without cause, order the
CONTRACTOR in writing to suspend the Work, in whole or in part, for such period of time as
OWNER may request. The Contract Price and/or Contract Time shall be adjusted for any increase
in the cost of or the time required for performance of the Work caused by such suspension. No
adjustment shall be made to the extent performance was or would have been suspended by a cause
for which CONTRACTOR is responsible, or to the extent an adjustment is made or denied under
another provision of the Contract Documents.
5.05 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DELAY: It is understood and agreed that time
is of the essence, and that the CONTRACTOR will commence the Work on the date specified
herein or in any Notice to Proceed, and will Substantially Complete the Work within the Contract
Time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the CONTRACTOR and the
OWNER, that the time for the Substantial Completion of the Work described herein is reasonable
time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic range and
conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. The CONTRACTOR further
agrees that a failure to complete on time will cause damage to the OWNER,and that such damages
08-2018 00700- 19 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
cannot be accurately measured or that ascertainment will be difficult. Therefore, the parties agree
that for each and every calendar day the Work or any portion thereof shall remain uncompleted
after the expiration of the Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR shall pay, as liquidated damages
and as a reasonable estimate of OWNER's damages, and not as a penalty, the amount set out in the
Standard Form of Agreement.
However, the foregoing agreement as to liquidated damages constitutes only an agreement by the
OWNER and the CONTRACTOR as to the amount of damages which the OWNER will sustain
by reason of the CONTRACTOR'S failure to complete the work within the Contract Time. Should
the OWNER suffer damage by reason of any other breach by CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may
recover such actual damages in addition to any liquidated damages due.
The OWNER shall have the right to deduct and withhold the amount of any and all such damages
whether it be the minimum amount stipulated above or otherwise, from any monies owing by it to
said CONTRACTOR, or the OWNER may recover such amount from the CONTRACTOR and
the sureties of his bond; all of such remedies shall be cumulative and the OWNER shall not be
required to elect any one nor be deemed to have made an election by proceeding to enforce any
one remedy.
5.06 CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME: The Contract Time may only be changed by a
Change Order. Any claim for an adjustment of Contract Time shall be based on written notice
delivered by the party making such claim to the other party and to the ENGINEER promptly, but
in no event later than ten (10) days after the event-giving rise to the claim. Notice of the extent of
the claim, along with supporting data, shall be delivered within thirty (30) days of the occurrence
and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written representation that the adjustment claimed is
the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the
occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in Contract Time shall be determined by the
ENGINEER in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph. Contractor shall submit, as a
minimum, the following data: •
A. Information showing that the time requested is not included in the existing
Contract and in addition to the Contract.
B. Information documenting that the number of days requested is accurate for the
event.

5.07 DELAYS BEYOND OWNER'S AND CONTRACTOR'S CONTROL: Where
CONTRACTOR is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Time due
to delays beyond the control of the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR, including, but not limited
to, interference by utility owners or other contractors performing other work, Contractor shall be
entitled to an extension of the Contract Time in an amount equal to the time lost. CONTRACTOR
shall not be entitled to any increase in Contract Price as a result of such delays. IN NO EVENT

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
to fault of OWNER. An extension of Contract time shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive
remedy for any such delays.
Delays attributed to, and within the control of, a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be
deemed to be delays within the control of the CONTRACTOR.
6.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
6.01 DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS. If the CONTRACTOR knows or
reasonably should have known of any discrepancies or omissions in the Contract Documents, he
shall notify the ENGINEER and obtain a clarification by Addendum before the bids are received,
and if no such request is received by the ENGINEER prior to the opening of bids, then it shall be
considered that the CONTRACTOR fully understands the Work to be performed and has provided
sufficient sums in his Bid Proposal to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. It is further understood that any request for clarification must be submitted no later
than five (5) days prior to the opening of bids.
6.02 QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS. No extra or customary measurements
of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed length, area, volume,
number and weight only shall be considered,unless otherwise specifically provided.
6.03 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES. This Agreement, including the Contract
Documents, and including any estimates contained therein, is intended to convey all Work to be
done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown for the
various classes of Work to be done and material to be furnished under this Contract, they are
approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the Work and
for comparing the Bid Proposals offered for the Work. It is understood and agreed that the actual
amount of Work to be done and the materials to be furnished under this Contract may differ from
the estimates and that the items listed or estimated quantities stated, and/or any difference between
estimated and actual Work, shall not give rise to a claim by the CONTRACTOR against the
OWNER for loss, cost, expense, damages,unit price adjustment, quantity differences,unrecovered
overhead or lost or anticipated profits, or other compensation.
6.04 PRICE OF WORK. It is agreed that it is the intent of this Contract that all Work
described in the Bid Proposal, and Contract Documents, is to be done for the prices bid by the
CONTRACTOR and that such prices shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the
Work in accordance with the intent of these Contract Documents as interpreted by the
ENGINEER, and all costs, expenses, bond and insurance premiums, taxes, overhead, and profit.
In consideration of the furnishing of all the necessary labor, equipment and material and the
completion of all Work by the CONTRACTOR, and upon the completion of all Work and the
delivery of all materials embraced in this Contract in full conformity with the Contract -
Documents, the OWNER agrees to pay to the CONTRACTOR the prices set forth in the Standard
Form of Agreement, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that the Contract is a unit cost
agreement, unless stated otherwise, and that the final Contract amount is equal to the unit cost
multiplied by the number of units authorized, installed and approved by the Owner.
The OWNER does not assume any obligation to pay for any services or material not
actually authorized and used. The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to receive such prices as
payment in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the aforesaid Work, and for
all expenses incurred by him, and for full performance of the Work and the whole thereof in the
08-2018 00700-21 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
manner and according to this Agreement, Contract Documents, and the requirements of the
ENGINEER.
6.05 PAYMENTS. No payments made or approvals or certificates given shall be
considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the Contract, either in whole or in part,
nor shall any certificate, approval or payment be considered as acceptance of defective, deficient
or non-conforming Work. CONTRACTOR shall, at any time requested during the progress of the
Work, furnish the OWNER or the ENGINEER with an affidavit showing the CONTRACTOR's
total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the Work. Before Final Payment is made, the
CONTRACTOR shall satisfy the OWNER, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are no unpaid
claims due subcontractors, suppliers or laborers by reason of any Work under the Contract.
Acceptance by CONTRACTOR of Final Payment shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims
of whatsoever nature against OWNER, arising out of or related to the Contract, or the Work, or
any acts or omissions of OWNER or ENGINEER, which have not theretofore been timely filed as
provided in this Contract.
6.06 PARTIAL PAYMENTS. When the Contract Price is a lump sum amount, prior to
the first Application for Payment, CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review and
approval a Schedule of Values, which shall fairly allocate the entire Contract Price among the
various portions of the Work and shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to
substantiate its accuracy as the ENGINEER may reasonably require. The Schedule of Values
shall follow the trade divisions of the Specifications so far as practicable. Upon approval, this
Schedule of Values shall be used by ENGINEER as the basis for reviewing the Contractor's
Application for Payment. Applications for Payment shall indicate the percentage of completion of
each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment.
On or before the tenth day of each month, the CONTRACTOR shall prepare and submit to the
ENGINEER, for approval or correction, an application for partial payment, being a statement
showing as completely as practicable, the agreed unit quantities and extended total value of the
Work done by the CONTRACTOR up to and including the twenty-fifth day of the preceding
month; said statement shall also include the value of all conforming materials to be fabricated into
the Work and stored in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and as approved by the
OWNER or ENGINEER at the Work site only. No payment will be made for materials stored until
OWNER has approved in writing storage at the Work site. The ENGINEER shall then review
such statement of unit quantities and application for partial payment and the progress of the Work
made by the CONTRACTOR and, within ten days after the date ENGINEER receives
CONTRACTOR's application for payment, if the application is found to be accurate and correct
and the WORK conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER shall
certify the application for partial payment and shall deliver his preliminary certification for
payment to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR; or, if the ENGINEER finds that
CONTRACTOR's application for payment contains an error or is otherwise disputed, he shall
notify CONTRACTOR of such error or dispute, and shall prepare a preliminary certificate for
partial payment for the undisputed amount of the application for payment due CONTRACTOR,
and deliver it to the OWNER and CONTRACTOR. ENGINEER'S notice to CONTRACTOR that
a bona fide dispute for payment exists shall include a list of the specific reasons for nonpayment.
All payment applications made by CONTRACTOR and delivered to ENGINEER and all
verifications and certification of such applications shall be made and transmitted within the Pro-
Trak system and signed with the appropriate electronic signatures as provided for in the software.
Such applications for payment shall. not be considered complete unless accompanied by the
08-2018 00700-22 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
CONTRACTOR'S Partial Waiver of Lien and Payment Affidavit, Section 00615, duly executed
by an authorized representative of the CONTRACTOR and reflecting the correct corresponding
amount of the payment application.
The OWNER shall then pay the CONTRACTOR, within thirty (30) days of the date of
ENGINEER's receipt of the application for payment, the undisputed balance due, less applicable
retainage, and further less all previous payments and all further sums that may be retained or
withheld by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement. CONTRACTOR may submit a
corrected application for payment after its receipt of the ENGINEER's notice of error or dispute,
and such corrected application for payment shall be reviewed by the ENGINEER and disputed or
paid under the same procedure and within the same time limits set out above.
As a condition of any progress payment under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall execute and
deliver to ENGINEER and OWNER a full release of all claims, direct or indirect, at law or in
equity, arising out of or related to the Work to date, excluding retainage or any claims previously
submitted as required under the terms of the Contract, and specifically identified and excluded by
CONTRACTOR in the release.
OWNER shall be entitled to retain from each progress payment five percent (5%) of the amount
thereof. Such retainage shall be retained until Final Completion and satisfaction of all conditions
for Final Payment. It is understood, however, that in case the whole Work be near to completion,
as certified by the ENGINEER, and some unexpected or unusual delay occurs, through no neglect
or fault on the part of the CONTRACTOR, the OWNER may, upon written recommendation of
the ENGINEER, pay a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage to the
CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR, at the OWNER'S option, may be relieved of the
obligation to fully complete the Work, and thereupon, the CONTRACTOR shall receive, at the
OWNER'S option, payment of the balance due him under the Contract for Work completed in
accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to OWNER's rights to otherwise withhold or
retain payments, and subject to the conditions set forth under"6.09 FINAL PAYMENT."
The Owner at its option and in compliance with Texas law may reduce retainage to less than the
above-stated percentages.
6.07 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS & PUNCHLIST. The OWNER shall have
the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the Work,
notwithstanding that the time for completing the entire work or such portions may not have
expired; but such taking possession and use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not
completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or
delays the Work, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within three (3) days of OWNER's
taking possession, give OWNER written notice of same, and CONTRACTOR may be entitled to
such extra compensation or extension of time, or both, as may be determined in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.
6.08 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the OWNER
AND ENGINEER, by letter executed by a duly qualified officer of CONTRACTOR that in
CONTRACTOR's opinion, the Work of the Contract, or an agreed portion thereof, is
"Substantially Complete". Such notification shall include a list of all outstanding or incomplete
items. Upon receipt, and within a reasonable time thereafter, of such notice, the ENGINEER and
the CONTRACTOR shall jointly perform a walk-through and inspection of the Work to determine
the status of all or the identified portion of the work, and the ENGINEER shall prepare a detailed
08-2018 00700-23 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
I
list of unfinished, incomplete, defective and/or non-conforming Work ("Punchlist"). If the
ENGINEER determines that the Work is Substantially Complete in accordance with the Contract
Documents, the ENGINEER shall issue to the OWNER and the CONTRACTOR a Certificate of -
Substantial Completion. OWNER shall have seven (7) days after receipt of Certificate to make
written objection to the ENGINEER as to any provision of the Certificate or the attached list of
non-conforming work. If ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not Substantially Complete,
ENGINEER will, within fourteen (14) days, notify CONTRACTOR of the reason he believes the
Work is not Substantially Complete. Upon Substantial Completion of the Work, ENGINEER will
deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of
responsibilities, pending final payment and acceptance, with respect to security, maintenance,
utilities and damage to the Work, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial
Completion. NEITHER THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF THE WORK, NOR THE
OMISSION OF AN ITEM FROM THE PUNCHLIST, SHALL EXCUSE THE CONTRACTOR
FROM PERFORMING ALL OF THE WORK UNDERTAKEN, WHETHER OF A MINOR OR
MAJOR NATURE, AND THEREBY COMPLETING THE WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall establish the
time period within which CONTRACTOR shall complete the Work for Final Acceptance by the
Owner and ENGINEER.
6.08-1 OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the
date of Substantial Completion, for security requirement reasons. OWNER may establish an
access procedure to facilitate CONTRACTOR's uninterrupted access to the Work for the purposes
of completing and correcting all items on the Punchlist in an expeditious manner.
6.09 FINAL PAYMENT. Final payment of the Retainage withheld from the Contract
Price shall be made by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR at such time as:
(a) the Work, including all Change Orders and including all Punchlist work, has been
fully completed in strict accordance with the Contract Documents;
(b) the Contract has been fully performed except for the CONTRACTOR's
responsibility to correct nonconforming Work during the warranty period set forth

(k) The Final Application for Payment has been approved by the ENGINEER and
OWNER.
Acceptance of Final Payment by the CONTRACTOR shall constitute a waiver of all claims by
CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than any claims previously made in writing by
CONTRACTOR against OWNER, and still unsettled, and except for claims arising out of third
party actions, cross-claims and counterclaims. No interest shall be due or payable by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR on any sums retained or withheld by OWNER pursuant to the terms or
provisions of the Contract Documents, except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Neither
the Certificate of Substantial Completion nor the Final Payment nor possession or acceptance of
the Work shall relieve the CONTRACTOR of its obligation for correction of defective or non-
conforming Work, or for fulfillment of any warranty, which may be required by law or by the
Contract Documents.
6.10 CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT. The CONTRACTOR
shall promptly remove from OWNER's premises all materials, equipment or Work which is
defective or otherwise not in conformance with the Contract Documents, whether actually
incorporated in the Work or not, and CONTRACTOR shall, at his own expense, promptly replace
such materials, equipment or Work with other materials conforming to the requirements of the
Contract. The CONTRACTOR shall also bear the expense of restoring all work of
CONTRACTOR or other contractors damaged by any such removal or replacement. If

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
6.11 CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT. If within one (1) year
from the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law
or by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the
Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR
shall, at its sole cost, correct it and any other work affected thereby promptly after receipt of a
written notice from OWNER to do so. In addition, CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for any
damage to building contents, when such damage results from the CONTRACTOR's use of faulty
materials or defective workmanship; to the extent such damage is not covered by OWNER's
insurance. This warranty period shall renew and recommence for each corrected item of Work
upon completion of the remedial work. This time period for correction by CONTRACTOR is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, all warranties or remedies, which exist at common law or by statute.
These warranty obligations shall survive the termination of this Contract, and shall be enforceable
by a decree of specific performance, in addition to such other rights and remedies available to
OWNER at law or in equity.
6.12 PAYMENTS WITHHELD. The OWNER may withhold, or on account of
subsequently discovered evidence nullify and demand immediate repayment of, the whole or part
of any certificate for payment or payment, to such extent as may be necessary to protect OWNER
from loss on account of:

CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
from the Contract Sum or from any payments due or to become due under any other agreement
between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
6.13 DELAYED PAYMENTS. Should the OWNER fail to make payment to the
CONTRACTOR when payment is due in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents,
any interest due CONTRACTOR for late payments shall accrue and be paid in accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 2251 of the Texas Government Code, as amended, and payment of such
interest shall fully liquidate and compensate any injury to the CONTRACTOR growing out of
such delay in payment. Should OWNER fail to pay CONTRACTOR an undisputed amount due
within the time limits provided in the Contract or applicable law, CONTRACTOR shall give the •
notice required and comply with the provisions of Section 2251.051 of the Texas Government
Code, and shall thereupon be entitled to the rights and remedies provided therein.
7.0 EXTRA WORK AND CLAIMS
7.01 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS. During the progress of the work, if subsurface, latent
physical conditions or unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature are encountered at the
site that differ materially from those indicated in the contract or from those ordinarily encountered
and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, the CONTRACTOR
shall notify the OWNER's Representative in writing within three (3) calendar days of the specific
differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.
(a)Upon written notification, the ENGINEER will investigate the conditions, and if it is
determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the
cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment,
excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing
accordingly. The ENGINEER will notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of the
determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
(b)No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the CONTRACTOR will be
allowed unless the CONTRACTOR has provided the required written notice.
(c)No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on
unchanged work.
7.02 SUSPENSIONS OF WORK ORDERED BY THE ENGINEER. If the performance of all
or any portion of the work is suspended by the ENGINEER in writing for seven (7) calendar days
and the CONTRACTOR believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a
result of such suspension, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a written request for adjustment to the
ENGINEER within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request
shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
(a)Upon receipt, the ENGINEER will evaluate the CONTRACTOR's request. If the
ENGINEER agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract
has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions
beyond the control of and not the fault of the CONTRACTOR, its suppliers, or
subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the ENGINEER will make
an adjustment(excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The
CONTRACTOR will be notified of the ENGINEER's determination, in writing, whether or
08-2018 00700-27 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
(b)No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the CONTRACTOR has submitted the
request for adjustment within the time prescribed.
(c)No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance
would have been suspended by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or
excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.
7.03 CHANGE ORDERS. Without invalidating this Agreement, the OWNER may, at
any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or revisions to the Work; such changes
will be authorized by Change Order to be prepared by the ENGINEER for execution by the
OWNER and the CONTRACTOR. The Change Order shall set forth the basis for any change in
Contract Price, as hereinafter set forth for Extra Work, and any change in Contract Time, which
may result from the change.
7.04 In accordance with paragraph 1.06 CONTRACTOR'S request to work weekends,
the Owner's Construction Manager shall, upon receipt of written notice by the CONTRACTOR of
the need to conduct work on otherwise non-Work Days,prepare a cost estimate for providing
Construction Management and Inspection services during the requested period and submit this to
both OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If approved by both parties the Construction Manager shall
prepare a Deductive Change Order in the amount stated in the estimate for the signature of the
CONTRACTOR and the OWNER for inclusion in the next Pay Application. The Deductive
Change Order must be signed and executed by both the OWNER and CONTRACTOR prior to
start of work on any non-Work Day.
7.05 MINOR CHANGES. The ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the Work
not inconsistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents and not involving an increase in
Contract Price or time. If the CONTRACTOR believes that any minor changes authorized by the
ENGINEER involves Extra Work or entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price or the
Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR shall give notice of same by written request to the
ENGINEER for a written Work Order, with a copy to OWNER. Any such notice and request by
the CONTRACTOR shall be given prior to beginning the changed work. CONTRACTOR's
commencement of any minor change in the Work prior to such written notice and request shall
constitute a waiver of any and all claims for an increase in the Contract Price or the Contract Time
arising out of or related to such changed work.
7.06 EXTRA WORK. It is agreed that the CONTRACTOR shall perform all work
when presented with a written Change Order, Work Change Directive or Work Order signed by
the ENGINEER, subject, however, to the right of the CONTRACTOR to require written
confirmation of such Change Order, Work Change Directive or Work Order by the OWNER. It is
agreed that the basis of compensation or adjustment to the CONTRACTOR for work either
altered, added or deleted by a Change Order or Work Change Directive, or for which a claim for
Extra Work is made, shall be determined by one or more of the following methods:
Method (A) --By Contract unit prices applicable to the work, if any; or
Method (B) --By agreed unit prices or agreed stipulated lump sum price; or
08-2018 00700-28 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
Method (C) --If neither Method (A) nor Method (B) can be agreed upon before the Extra
Work is commenced, then the CONTRACTOR shall be paid the "Actual Field Cost" of
the work plus:
a) For subcontractors performing work mark-up shall be limited to fifteen
percent, ten (10%) for the subcontractor plus five (5%) for the General Contractor
or
b) For the General Contractor alone, self-performing the extra work, without
subcontractor, the mark-up shall not exceed ten percent (10%), as full and final
compensation for the Extra Work and all costs and expenses, direct or indirect,
arising out of or related thereto.
In the event said Extra Work or Change Order or Work Change Directive work is performed and
paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and the "Actual Field
Cost" is hereby defined as the cost to the CONTRACTOR of all workers, such as foremen,
timekeeper mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, trucks, rentals of machinery and
equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra Work or Change Order or Work
Change Directive work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred together with all
power, fuel, lubricants, water and similar operating expenses, plus all necessary incidental
expenses incurred directly on account of such Extra Work, including Social Security, Old Age
Benefits and other payroll taxes, and a rateable proportion of premiums on Performance and
Payment Bonds and Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property Damage and Workers'
Compensation, and all other insurance as may be required by law or ordinance, or the Contract
Documents,plus all payments to subcontractors for such work.
The ENGINEER may direct the form in which accounts of the "Actual Field Cost" shall be kept
and the records of these accounts shall be made available to the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER or
OWNER may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work
and the type and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise these matters shall be
determined by the CONTRACTOR. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of
machinery and equipment shall be determined by using one hundred percent (100%), unless
otherwise specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense adopted by the
Associated General Contractors of America where practicable. The mark-up of the "Actual Field
Cost" to be paid to the CONTRACTOR,shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead,
and all other elements of cost and expense not embraced within the "Actual Field Cost" as herein
defined, save that where the CONTRACTOR's field office must be maintained solely on account
of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the
"Actual Field Cost."
No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered by the ENGINEER in a
written Work Order. In case any orders or instructions, either oral or written, appear to the
CONTRACTOR to involve Extra Work for which he should receive compensation or an
adjustment in the Contract Time, he shall make written request to the ENGINEER for a written
Work Order authorizing such Extra Work within ten (10) days of ENGINEER's orders or
instructions, otherwise the orders or instructions will be considered minor changes. The issuance
of a Work Order by the ENGINEER shall not constitute or be construed as an agreement or
acknowledgement by the ENGINEER that the work which is the subject of the Work Order is
Extra Work outside the scope of the Contract Work, but shall merely constitute a direction to the
08-2018 00700-29 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
CONTRACTOR to perform the work, and the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work, and
shall keep an accurate account of the "Actual Field Cost" thereof, as provided under Method (C).
Upon completion of the alleged Extra Work, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within ten
(10) days submit his claim to the ENGINEER by proper certification and attestation, on forms
provided by the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER shall render a written decision on
CONTRACTOR's claim within ten (10) days. It is mutually agreed between the parties that the
ENGINEER's decision on all claims or questions in relation to the Work, CONTRACTOR's
performance of the Work, any changes in the Work or Extra Work, the Contract Price and/or the
Contract Time, shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the parties. If the ENGINEER
shall fail to respond in writing to CONTRACTOR's claim within thirty (30) days of the date of
submission, or if CONTRACTOR shall dispute or object to ENGINEER's decision on any claim,
and CONTRACTOR fails to file a Request for Mediation of such claim in accordance with the
provisions of Article 9.0, within sixty (60) days after the date of submission to the ENGINEER, or
such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, the CONTRACTOR shall lose and
forfeit his right to make such claim for Extra Work at any later date, and all such claims held by
the CONTRACTOR shall be deemed waived, forfeited and forever barred. CONTRACTOR shall
continue to diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending claim, dispute, or dispute
resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
7.07 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided herein, all questions
of dispute or adjustment shall be made within the Pro-Trak system and filed with the ENGINEER
within three (3) days after the ENGINEER has given any directions, order or instruction to which
the CONTRACTOR desires to take exception. The ENGINEER shall reply within thirty (30) days
to such written exceptions, and render his final decision in writing. It is mutually agreed between
the parties that the ENGINEER's decision on all claims or questions in relation to the Work,
CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work, any changes in the Work or Extra Work, the
Contract Price and/or the Contract Time, shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the
parties. In case the CONTRACTOR should desire to appeal from the ENGINEER's decision, the
CONTRACTOR may request a meeting between representatives of the OWNER and the
CONTRACTOR for the purposes of appealing the ENGINEER's decision directly to the
OWNER, such meeting to occur within ten (10) days after the date of the CONTRACTOR's
request, or such longer period as may be agreed to by the parties in writing. If the
CONTRACTOR shall still be aggrieved after a meeting with the OWNER and/or his
representative, the CONTRACTOR shall have sixty (60) days after the date of the meeting, or
such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing, to file a Request for Mediation of such
claim in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.0. In the event the CONTRACTOR shall fail,
for any reason, to timely file a Request for Mediation, the OWNER shall be released of any and all
liability, and the CONTRACTOR's failure to timely file a Request for Mediation shall constitute a
waiver, forfeit and final bar of all such claims held by the CONTRACTOR against the OWNER.
CONTRACTOR shall continue to diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending
claim, dispute, or dispute resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
8.0 DEFAULT
8.01 DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR. In case the CONTRACTOR should abandon
and fail or refuse to resume Work within five (5) days after written notification from the OWNER
or the ENGINEER, or if the CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the orders of the ENGINEER
when such orders are consistent with the Contract Documents, or if the CONTRACTOR otherwise
defaults on its obligations under the Contract, OWNER shall have the right, if it so elects and
08-2018 00700-30 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
without prejudice to any other rights it may have, after giving five (5) days written notice of
default to CONTRACTOR and any surety, to terminate the Contract or any part thereof and/or to
take over or cause others to take over the Work or any part thereof, and to complete such Work for
the account of CONTRACTOR. Where Performance and Payment Bonds exist, the sureties on
these bonds shall be directed to complete the Work in conjunction with the notice of default, and a
copy of said notice shall be delivered to the CONTRACTOR.
After receiving said notice of default, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly and within no more than
three (3) days, remove from the Work any machinery, equipment, or tools then on the job, not
intended for incorporation into the Work. Should CONTRACTOR fail to promptly remove such
machinery, equipment or tools, OWNER may remove such machinery, equipment or tools and
store same at CONTRACTOR's expense; return such machinery, equipment or tools to their
purported owner; or otherwise dispose of such machinery, equipment or tools as OWNER sees fit.
Any materials, supplies and/or equipment delivered for use in the Work, may be used in the
completion of the Work by the OWNER or the surety on the Performance Bond, or another
contractor in completion of the Work; it being understood that the use of such equipment, supplies
and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the Work and be reflected in the final
settlement.
Where there is no Performance Bond or in case the surety should fail to commence compliance
with the notice for completion hereinabove provided for within ten (10) days after the service of
such notice, then the OWNER may provide for completion of the Work in either of the following
elective manners:
(a) The OWNER may thereupon employ such force of workers and use such
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as the OWNER may deem
necessary to expeditiously complete the Work, and charge the expense of such
labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said
CONTRACTOR, and expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the
OWNER out of such monies as may be due or that may thereafter at any time
become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR. In case such expense is
less than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same
had been completed by the CONTRACTOR, then said CONTRACTOR shall be
credited with the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which
would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by
such CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall promptly
pay the amount of such excess to the OWNER upon demand; or
(b) The OWNER, under sealed bids, under the times and procedures provided for by
law, may let the contract for completion of the Work under substantially the same
terms and conditions which are provided in this Contract. In case of any increase in
cost to the OWNER under the completion contract, as compared to what would
have been the cost under this Contract, such increase shall be charged to the
CONTRACTOR, and the amount of such increase may be deducted by the
OWNER out of such monies as may be due or that may thereafter at any time
become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety shall promptly pay the amount of such increase to the OWNER
08-2018 00700-31 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
upon demand. However, should the cost to complete any such completion contract
prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this
Contract, the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall be credited therewith.
In the event of a default by CONTRACTOR, no further payments shall be made to
CONTRACTOR under the Contract until the Work is Finally Completed. When the Work shall
have been Finally Completed, the CONTRACTOR and his surety shall be so notified. A complete
itemized statement of the Contract accounts, certified by the ENGINEER as being correct, shall
then be prepared and delivered to the CONTRACTOR and his surety, whereupon the
CONTRACTOR and/or his surety shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement. The
OWNER, prior to incurring an obligation to make payment hereunder, shall have such statement
of completion attested to by the CONTRACTOR and the surety as accurate, and in exchange for
payment of the sum stated therein, the OWNER shall be entitled to a full and final release of any
claims or demands by the CONTRACTOR or the surety.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that
which would have been the cost to the OWNER had the work been completed by the
CONTRACTOR under the terms of this Contract, or when the CONTRACTOR and/or his surety
shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the OWNER, then all machinery, equipment,
tools or supplies left on the site of the Work shall be turned over to the CONTRACTOR and/or his
surety. Should the cost to complete the Work exceed the Contract Price, and the CONTRACTOR
and/or his surety fail to pay the amount due the OWNER within the time designated above, and
there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies which are the property of
CONTRACTOR on the site of the Work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such
equipment and materials, shall be mailed to the CONTRACTOR and his surety at the respective
addresses designated in the Contract, provided, however, that actual written notice given in any
manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing or other giving of such notice, such property
shall be held at the risk of the CONTRACTOR and his surety, subject only to the duty of the
OWNER to exercise ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date
of such notice, the OWNER may sell such property, equipment, tools, materials or supplies, and
apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the CONTRACTOR and his surety. Such
sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the OWNER may
elect. The OWNER shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies, which
remain on the Work, and belong to persons other than the CONTRACTOR or his surety, to their
reputed owners.
8.02 SUPPLEMENTATION OF CONTRACTOR FORCES. If CONTRACTOR at any
time shall, in OWNER'S sole opinion, fail to furnish skilled workers, suitable materials, supplies
or adequate equipment sufficient for the prompt, timely and diligent prosecution of the Work in
accordance with OWNER's direction, OWNER shall have the right, without prejudice to the
exercise of other remedies for the same default and without fully taking over the Work, to
supplement CONTRACTOR's forces and to expedite delivery of and to procure and furnish such
workers, materials, tools, supplies or equipment for CONTRACTOR's account by employing
other contractors and suppliers engaged in the same class of work and charge the entire cost
thereof to CONTRACTOR, said cost to be deducted from sums due or to become due to
CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any other agreement with OWNER or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of OWNER.
08-2018 00700-32 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
8.03 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES & SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. All rights and
remedies of OWNER, under the terms of the Contract and/or available at law or in equity, are
cumulative. In the event CONTRACTOR or any of its subcontractors, vendors or suppliers fails
or refuses for any reason to provide timely manufacture, fabrication, delivery, installation,
erection, construction or completion of any supplies, materials, expendables, equipment,
machinery, accessories or appurtenances to be furnished hereunder, CONTRACTOR
acknowledges and agrees that such items are required, necessary, essentially unique to the Project
and the Work and will cause irreparable harm to OWNER and the Project if not furnished in
accordance with the Contract, and OWNER shall have the right to obtain a decree of specific
performance and mandatory injunctive relief from any Court of competent jurisdiction to ensure
the timely furnishing of such items.
8.04 CROSS-DEFAULT. If, for any reason, CONTRACTOR is declared in default
and/or terminated by OWNER under any other agreement with OWNER, whether related to the
Project or not related to the Project, OWNER shall have the right to offset and apply any amounts
which might be owed to OWNER by CONTRACTOR under any other such agreements against
any earned but unpaid amounts owing to CONTRACTOR by OWNER under the Contract, any
retainage earned by CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any unearned, unpaid amount under
the Contract.
8.05 INSOLVENCY. It is recognized that if CONTRACTOR becomes a debtor in
voluntary- or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, such events could seriously
impair or frustrate CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work. Accordingly, it is agreed that
should CONTRACTOR become a debtor in bankruptcy, either voluntary or involuntary,
CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the filing with
the bankruptcy court. Further, it is agreed that upon occurrence of any one or more such events,
OWNER shall be entitled to request of CONTRACTOR or its successors, trustees or receivers,
adequate assurances of future performance. In the event such adequate assurances are not given to
the reasonable satisfaction of OWNER within seventy-two (72) hours of such request, OWNER
shall have the right to immediately invoke the remedies of this Section 8 or as provided by law.
Pending receipt of such adequate assurances of such future performance, OWNER may proceed
with the Work on a temporary basis and deduct the costs, plus reasonable overhead and profit,
from any amounts due or which may become due to CONTRACTOR under the-Contract or any
other agreement with OWNER. hi this regard, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that delays in
performance could result in more damages to CONTRACTOR than would be sustained if
OWNER failed to exercise such remedies.
8.06 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT. CONTRACTOR hereby assigns to OWNER, all
of CONTRACTOR's rights under and interest in any and all subcontracts and/or purchase orders
entered into by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, such assignment to become effective
upon CONTRACTOR's default under this Agreement or OWNER's termination of this Contract,
and OWNER's acceptance of such assignment. Upon CONTRACTOR's default or OWNER's
termination of this Contract, OWNER may, in the event there is no performance bond for the
Contract, or in the event the performance bond surety fails to complete the Contract, or if OWNER
otherwise so elects in its sole discretion, accept such assignment by written notice of such
acceptance to CONTRACTOR and subcontractor, and may require subcontractors to perform all
of the then unperformed duties and obligations under the subcontract, for the,direct benefit of
OWNER. In the event OWNER requires such performance by a subcontractor, then OWNER
08-2018 00700-33 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
shall be obligated to pay such subcontractor any amounts due and owing under the terms of the
subcontract/purchase order, at the subcontract prices and rates, and subject to any rights of
withholding or offset and other terms and conditions of the subcontract, for all work properly
performed by such subcontractor, to the date of OWNER's acceptance and thereafter. OWNER's
liability in this connection, however, shall not exceed the amount obtained by subtracting all
payments made by CONTRACTOR to subcontractor from the Subcontract Price at the time of
CONTRACTOR's default or OWNER's termination of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall
include a provision in its subcontracts that allows such assignment and allows OWNER to take
these actions, and further provides that in the event of CONTRACTOR's termination for default,
the subcontractor agrees to give the OWNER or its agent the right to inspect all books and records
of subcontractor relating to the Work.
8.07 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. CONTRACTOR expressly
waives any and all claims for consequential damages against OWNER arising out of or related to
this Contract, or any other agreements between CONTRACTOR and OWNER, including, but not
limited to, claims for damages incurred by CONTRACTOR for principal office expenses,
including the compensation of personnel stationed there, losses of financing, bonding capacity,
business and reputation, and claims for lost profit, whether on this Contract or otherwise.
8.08 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. OWNER may at its sole discretion,
upon five (5) days written notice to CONTRACTOR, terminate this Contract, in whole or in part,
if and when OWNER determines that it is in the best interest of OWNER to do so. Upon receipt
of such written notice from OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall cease all terminated Work and take
reasonable precautions to protect and preserve such work, and shall take all reasonable measures
after consultation with OWNER to terminate or assign to OWNER all subcontracts, purchase
orders or other commitments related to the Work or the Project on terms and conditions acceptable
to OWNER. CONTRACTOR will be paid for all Work performed in strict accordance with the
Contract Documents, based upon the Contract Price and the percentage of completion on the date
of termination, and less amounts previously paid, subject to any reasonable backcharges
attributable to CONTRACTOR's failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Contract and
further subject to the other terms of this Contract regarding payment. In no event will
CONTRACTOR receive or be entitled to any payment or compensation whatsoever for
interruption of business or loss of business opportunities, any other items of consequential
damages, for overhead or loss of profits on the unperformed Work and/or services and unfurnished
materials or for any intangible, impact or similarly described cost, damages or expense, and under
no circumstances shall the total sum paid to or received by CONTRACTOR under this Contract
exceed the Contract Price. The compensation provided herein shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and
exclusive remedy arising out of a termination for convenience.
8.09 DEFAULT BY OWNER. In case the OWNER shall default on its material
obligations under this Contract, other than OWNER's failure to pay CONTRACTOR a disputed
amount due within the time limits provided in the Contract or applicable law, as addressed by
Section 6.13 of this Agreement, and shall fail or refuse to cure, or to commence and diligently
pursue cure of such default within fifteen (15) days after written notification by the
CONTRACTOR, then the CONTRACTOR may suspend or wholly abandon the Work, and may
remove therefrom all machinery, tools and equipment, and all materials on the site of the Work
that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not been incorporated
into the Work. And thereupon, the ENGINEER shall make an estimate of the total amount earned
by the CONTRACTOR, which estimate shall include the value of all Work actually completed by
08-2018 00700-34 of 35
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
said CONTRACTOR (at the Contract Prices), the value of all partially completed Work at a fair
' and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or
provided for by the terms of this Contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any
provisions made by the CONTRACTOR to carry the whole Work to completion and which cannot
be utilized. The ENGINEER shall then make a final statement of the balance due the
CONTRACTOR by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the OWNER and
all other sums that may be retained by the OWNER under the terms of this Agreement, and shall
present the same to the OWNER, and OWNER's payment of said sum to the CONTRACTOR, on
or before thirty (30) days after OWNER's receipt of such statement, shall satisfy any and all
rights, claims or causes of action of CONTRACTOR arising out of or related to such default by
OWNER, and shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for such default. A disputed
or unilateral claim by the Contractor cannot by itself constitute a default hereunder.
9.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute or pending claim or dispute resolution process between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall not excuse or relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations under the Contract,
and CONTRACTOR shall diligently prosecute the Work notwithstanding any pending claim,
dispute, or dispute resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
All claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to, the Contract,
or the breach thereof, shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to any other dispute
resolution process as may be selected by OWNER. Unless mutually agreed otherwise the
mediation shall be conducted by a third party who will be selected by agreement between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR, and Request for Mediation shall be filed with the other party. The
parties shall share the mediator's fee and any filing fees equally.
If a claim, dispute or other matter in question between OWNER and CONTRACTOR
involves the work of a subcontractor or supplier, OWNER or CONTRACTOR may join such
subcontractor or supplier as a party to any mediation proceeding between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR hereunder. CONTRACTOR shall include in all subcontracts and/or purchase
orders related to the Work a specific provision whereby the subcontractor or supplier consents to
being joined in mediation between OWNER and CONTRACTOR involving the work of such
subcontractor or supplier.
This Contract shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and shall be considered
performable in Brazoria County, Texas, for venue purposes. Further, the OWNER and
CONTRACTOR stipulate that venue for any dispute resolution proceeding involving or touching
upon the Contract other than the conduct of an arbitration hearing shall be in Brazoria County,
Texas, or, if such choice of venue is prohibited or unenforceable by law, shall be held in the
county where the Project is located.
CONTRACTOR agrees to pay OWNER all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
OWNER in the event OWNER seeks to enforce any provision of this Contract whether by
arbitration or other dispute resolution process. Further, in the event OWNER defends any claim
instituted by CONTRACTOR against OWNER, whether in arbitration or other dispute resolution
process, CONTRACTOR agrees to pay OWNER all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
OWNER in defending such claim provided OWNER is the prevailing party, in whole or in part, in
such proceeding.

01-2019 00811 -2 of 5
CITY OF PEARLAND WAGE SCALE FOR ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local) ,
a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate
(weighted union average rate) .
Union Rate Identifiers
A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed
in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or
"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of
the union which prevailed in the survey for this
classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198
indicates the local union number or district council number
where applicable, i.e. , Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,
005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing
the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the
most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,
2014.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate
changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing
this classification and rate.
Survey Rate Identifiers
Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that
no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and
the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average
rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that
classification. As this weighted average rate includes all
rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and
non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates
the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average
calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates
the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which
these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007
in the example, is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates 'the survey completion
date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a
new survey is conducted.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
Classification (s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate
that no single majority rate prevailed for those
01-2019 00811 -3of5
CITY OF PEARLAND WAGE SCALE FOR ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION
classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the
classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010
08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union
average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in
the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage
determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of
each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current
negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is
based.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

Section B. Definitions
Arid Areas-Areas with an average annual rainfall of o to 10 inches.
Best Management Practices(BMPs)-Schedules of activities,prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures,structural controls,local ordinances,and other management
practices to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants. BMPs also include treatment
requirements,operating procedures, and practices to control construction site runoff,spills
or leaks,waste disposal,or drainage from raw material storage areas.
Commencement of Construction-The initial disturbance of soils associated with
clearing,grading,or excavation activities, as well as other construction-related activities
(e.g.,stockpiling of fill material,demolition).
Common Plan of Development-A construction activity that is completed in separate
stages,separate phases,or in combination with other construction activities. A common
plan of development(also known as a"common plan of development or sale")is identified
by the documentation for the construction project that identifies the scope of the project, and
may include plats,blueprints,marketing plans, contracts,building permits, a public notice
or hearing,zoning requests,or other similar documentation and activities. A common plan
of development does not necessarily include all construction projects within the jurisdiction
of a public entity(e.g., a city or university). Construction of roads or buildings in different
parts of the jurisdiction would be considered separate"common plans,"with only the
interconnected parts of a project being considered part of a"common plan"(e.g.,a building
and its associated parking lot and driveways,airport runway and associated taxiways,a
building complex,etc.). Where discrete construction projects occur within a larger common
plan of development or sale but are located 1/4 mile or more apart,and the area between the
projects is not being disturbed,each individual project can be treated as a separate plan of
development or sale,provided that any interconnecting road,pipeline or utility project that
is part of the same"common plan"is not included in the area to be disturbed.
Construction Activity-Includes soil disturbance activities,including clearing,grading,
excavating,construction-related activity(e.g.,stockpiling of fill material,demolition),and
construction support activity. This does not include routine maintenance that is performed
to maintain the original line and grade,hydraulic capacity,or original purpose of the site
(e.g.,the routine grading of existing dirt roads, asphalt overlays of existing roads,the routine
clearing of existing right-of-ways, and similar maintenance activities). Regulated
construction activity is defined in terms of small and large construction activity.
Construction Support Activity—A construction-related activity that specifically
supports construction activity,which can involve earth disturbance or pollutant-generating
activities of its own,and can include,but are not limited to, activities associated with
concrete or asphalt batch plants,rock crushers, equipment staging or storage areas, chemical
storage areas,material storage areas,material borrow areas, and excavated material disposal
areas. Construction support activity must only directly support the construction activity
authorized under this general permit.
Dewatering—The act of draining rainwater or groundwater from building foundations,
vaults,and trenches.
Discharge—For the purposes of this permit,the drainage,release,or disposal of pollutants
in stormwater and certain non-stormwater from areas where soil disturbing activities(e.g.,
clearing,grading,excavation,stockpiling of fill material, and demolition),construction
materials or equipment storage or maintenance(e.g.,fill piles,borrow area,concrete truck
wash out,fueling),or other industrial stormwater directly related to the construction process
(e.g.,concrete or asphalt batch plants)are located.
Drought-Stricken Area—For the purposes of this permit, an area in which the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook indicates for the
period during which the construction will occur that any of the following conditions are
Page 6
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
likely: (1)"Drought to persist or intensify", (2)"Drought ongoing,some improvement", (3)
"Drought likely to improve,impacts ease",or(4)"Drought development likely". See
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/expert assessment/seasonal drought.html.
Edwards Aquifer-As defined under Texas Administrative Code(TAC) § 213.3 of this title
(relating to the Edwards Aquifer),that portion of an arcuate belt of porous,water-bearing,
predominantly carbonate rocks known as the Edwards and Associated Limestones in the
Balcones Fault Zone trending from west to east to northeast in Kinney,Uvalde,Medina,
Bexar,Comal,Hays,Travis, and Williamson Counties; and composed of the Salmon Peak
Limestone,McKnight Formation,West Nueces Formation,Devil's River Limestone,Person
Formation,Kainer Formation,Edwards Formation,and Georgetown Formation. The
permeable aquifer units generally overlie the less-permeable Glen Rose Formation to the
south,overlie the less-permeable Comanche Peak and Walnut Formations north of the
Colorado River, and underlie the less-permeable Del Rio Clay regionally.
Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone-Generally,that area where the stratigraphic units
constituting the Edwards Aquifer crop out,including the outcrops of other geologic
formations in proximity to the Edwards Aquifer,where caves,sinkholes,faults,fractures,or
other permeable features would create a potential for recharge of surface waters into the
Edwards Aquifer. The recharge zone is identified as that area designated as such on official
maps located in the offices of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality(TCEQ)and
the appropriate regional office. The Edwards Aquifer Map Viewer,located at
http://www.tceq.texas.gov/compliance/field ops/eapp/rapdisclaimer.html, can be used to
determine where the recharge zone is located.
Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone-The area or watershed where runoff from
precipitation flows downgradient to the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer. The
contributing zone is located upstream(upgradient) and generally north and northwest of the
recharge zone for the following counties: all areas within Kinney County,except the area
within the watershed draining to Segment No. 2304 of the Rio Grande Basin; all areas within
Uvalde,Medina,Bexar, and Comal Counties; all areas within Hays and Travis Counties,
except the area within the watersheds draining to the Colorado River above a point 1.3 miles
upstream from Tom Miller Dam,Lake Austin at the confluence of Barrow Brook Cove,
Segment No. 1403 of the Colorado River Basin; and all areas within Williamson County,
except the area within the watersheds draining to the Lampasas River above the dam at
Stillhouse Hollow reservoir,Segment No.1216 of the Brazos River Basin. The contributing
zone is illustrated on the Edwards Aquifer map viewer at
http://www.tceq.texas.gov/compliance/field ops/eapp/mapdisclaimer.html.

(CFR) §122.2 as a regulation published by the Administrator under§3o4(b)of the Clean
Water Act(CWA)to adopt or revise effluent limitations.
Facility or Activity—For the purpose of this permit, referring to a construction site,the
location of construction activity,or a construction support activity that is regulated under
this general permit,including all contiguous land and fixtures(for example,ponds and
materials stockpiles),structures,or appurtenances used at a construction site or industrial
site.
Final Stabilization-A construction site status where any of the following conditions are
met:
(a) All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform(that is,
evenly distributed,without large bare areas)perennial vegetative cover with a density of
at least 70%of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been established
on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures,or equivalent
permanent stabilization measures (such as the use of riprap,gabions,or geotextiles)
have been employed.
Page 7
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(b) For individual lots in a residential construction site by either:
(i) the homebuilder completing final stabilization as specified in condition(a)above;
or
(2) the homebuilder establishing temporary stabilization for an individual lot prior to
the time of transfer of the ownership of the home to the buyer and after informing
the homeowner of the need for,and benefits of,final stabilization.If temporary
stabilization is not feasible,then the homebuilder may fulfill this requirement by
retaining perimeter controls or BMPs,and informing the homeowner of the need
for removal of temporary controls and the establishment of final stabilization.
Fulfillment of this requirement must be documented in the homebuilder's
stormwater pollution prevention plan(SWP3).
(c) For construction activities on land used for agricultural purposes(such as pipelines
across crop or range land),final stabilization maybe accomplished by returning the
disturbed land to its preconstruction agricultural use. Areas disturbed that were not
previously used for agricultural activities,such as buffer strips immediately adjacent to
surface water and areas that are not being returned to their preconstruction agricultural
use must meet the final stabilization conditions of condition(a)above.
(d) In arid,semi-arid, and drought-stricken areas only,all soil disturbing activities at the
site have been completed and both of the following criteria have been met:
(1) Temporary erosion control measures(for example,degradable rolled erosion
control product)are selected,designed,and installed along with an appropriate
seed base to provide erosion control for at least three years without active
maintenance by the operator,and
(2) The temporary erosion control measures are selected,designed, and installed to
achieve 7o%of the native background vegetative coverage within three years.

purpose of waste treatment are not considered to be water in the state.
Temporary Stabilization-A condition where exposed soils or disturbed areas are
provided a protective cover or other structural control to prevent the migration of pollutants.
Temporary stabilization may include temporary seeding,geotextiles,mulches, and other
techniques to reduce or eliminate erosion until either permanent stabilization can be
achieved or until further construction activities take place.
Thawing Conditions—for the purposes of this permit,thawing conditions are expected
based on the historical likelihood of two or more days with daytime temperatures greater
than 327. This date can be determined by looking at historical weather data.
Note: The estimation of thawing conditions is for planning purposes only. During
construction,the permittee will be required to conduct site inspections based upon actual
conditions(i.e.,if thawing conditions occur sooner than expected,the permittee will be
required to conduct inspections at the regular frequency).

(g) wetlands adjacent to waters(other than waters that are themselves wetlands)
identified in paragraphs(a)through(f) of this definition.
Waste treatment systems,including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the
requirements of CWA are not waters of the U.S. This exclusion applies only to manmade
bodies of water which neither were originally created in waters of the U.S. (such as disposal
area in wetlands)nor resulted from the impoundment of waters of the U.S. Waters of the
U.S. do not include prior converted cropland. Notwithstanding the determination of an

Discharges to surface water in the state that would cause,have the reasonable potential
to cause,or contribute to a violation of water quality standards or that would fail to
protect and maintain existing designated uses of surface water in the state are not
eligible for coverage under this general permit. The executive director may require an
application for an individual permit or alternative general permit(see Parts II.H.2 and
3.)to authorize discharges to surface water in the state if the executive director
determines that any activity will cause,has the reasonable potential to cause,or
contribute to a violation of water quality standards or is found to cause,has the
reasonable potential to cause,or contribute to,the impairment of a designated use. The
executive director may also require an application for an individual permit considering
factors described in Part II.H.3 of this general permit.
4. Impaired Receiving Waters and Total Maximum Daily Load(TMDL) Requirements
The permittee shall determine whether the authorized discharge is to an impaired water
body on the latest EPA-approved CWA Section 303(d)List or waters with an EPA-
approved or established TMDL that are found on the latest EPA-approved Texas
Page 14
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR1500o0
Integrated Report of Surface Water Quality for CWA Sections 305(b)and 303(d),
which lists the category 4 and 5 water bodies.
New sources or new discharges of the pollutants of concern to impaired waters are not
authorized by this permit unless otherwise allowable under 3o TAC Chapter 305 and
applicable state law. Impaired waters are those that do not meet applicable water
quality standard(s)and are listed as category 4 or 5 in the current version of the Texas
Integrated Report of Surface Water Quality,and waterbodies listed on the CWA§
303(d)list. Pollutants of concern are those for which the water body is listed as

number is established with the Texas Secretary of State. A transfer of operational
control can also occur when of the following criteria is met,as applicable:
i. Another operator has assumed control over all areas of the site that do not
meet the definition for final stabilization;
ii. all silt fences and other temporary erosion controls have either been removed,
scheduled for removal as defined in the SWP3,or transferred to a new
operator,provided that the original permitted operator has attempted to notify
the new operator in writing of the requirement to obtain permit coverage.
Records of this notification(or attempt at notification)shall be retained by the
operator transferring operational control to another operator in accordance
with Part VI of this permit. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in
place for an indefinite period,such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required
to be removed or scheduled for removal; or
iii. a homebuilder has purchased one or more lots from an operator who obtained
coverage under this general permit for a common plan of development or sale.
The homebuilder is considered a new operator and shall comply with the
requirements of this permit. Under these circumstances,the homebuilder is
only responsible for compliance with the general permit requirements as they
apply to the lot(s)it has operational control over in a larger common plan of
development, and the original operator remains responsible for common
controls or discharges,and must amend its SWP3 to remove the lot(s)
transferred to the homebuilder.
Section G. Waivers from Coverage
The executive director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general
permit for stormwater discharges from small construction activities under the terms and
conditions described in this section.
1. Waiver Applicability and Coverage
Operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from the
requirements to obtain authorization under this general permit,when the calculated
rainfall erosivity(R)factor for the entire period of the construction project is less than
five(5).
The operator must submit either a signed paper Low Rainfall Erosivity Waiver(LREW)
certification form to the TCEQ,supplied by the executive director,or complete the form
electronically via the online e-Permits system available through the TCEQ website. The
form is a certification by the operator that the small construction activity will commence
and be completed within a period when the value of the calculated R factor is less than
five(5).
The paper LREW certification form must be postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ at
least seven(7)days before construction activity begins or,if submitted electronically,
construction may begin at any time following the receipt of written confirmation from
TCEQ that a complete electronic application was submitted and acknowledged.
This waiver from coverage does not apply to any non-stormwater discharges,including
what is allowed under this permit. The operator must insure that all non-stormwater
discharges are either authorized under a separate permit or authorization,or are
captured and routed to an authorized treatment facility for disposal.
Page 25
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
Effective September 1, 2018, applicants must submit an LREW using the online e-
Permits system available through the TCEQ website,or request and obtain a waiver
from electronic reporting from the TCEQ. Waivers from electronic reporting are not
transferrable and expire on the same date as the authorization to discharge.
2. Steps to Obtaining a Waiver
The construction site operator may calculate the R factor to request a waiver using the
following steps:
(a) Estimate the construction start date and the construction end date. The
construction end date is the date that final stabilization will be achieved.
(b) Find the appropriate Erosivity Index(EI)zone in Appendix B of this permit.
(c) Find the EI percentage for the project period by adding the results for each period of
the project using the table provided in Appendix D of this permit,in EPA Fact Sheet
2.1,or in USDA Handbook 703,by subtracting the start value from the end value to
find the percent EI for the site.
(d) Refer to the Isoerodent Map(Appendix C of this permit) and interpolate the annual
isoerodent value for the proposed construction location.
(e) Multiply the percent value obtained in Step(c)above by the annual isoerodent value
obtained in Step(d). This is the R factor for the proposed project. If the value is less
than 5,then a waiver may be obtained. If the value is five(5)or more,then a waiver
may not be obtained, and the operator must obtain coverage under Part II.E.2.of
this permit.
Alternatively,the operator may calculate a site-specific R factor utilizing the following
online calculator: hllp://ei.tamu.edu/index.html,or using another available resource.
A copy of the LREW certification form is not required to be posted at the small
construction site.
3. Effective Date of a LREW
Unless otherwise notified by the executive director,operators of small construction
activities seeking coverage under a LREW are provisionally waived from the otherwise
applicable requirements of this general permit seven(7)days from the date that a
completed paper LREW certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ,or
immediately upon receiving confirmation of approval of an electronic submittal,made
via the online e-Permits system available through the TCEQ website.
Effective September 1, 2018, applicants seeking coverage under a LREW must submit an
application for a LREW using the online e-Permits system available through the TCEQ
website,or request and obtain a waiver from electronic reporting from the TCEQ.
Waivers from electronic reporting are not transferrable and expire on the same date as
the authorization to discharge.
4. Activities Extending Beyond the LREW Period
If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to
circumstances beyond the control of the operator,the operator must either:
(a) recalculate the R factor using the original start date and a new projected ending
date,and if the R factor is still under five(5),submit a new waiver certification form
at least two(2)days before the end of the original waiver period; or
(b) obtain authorization under this general permit according to the requirements for
automatic authorization for small construction activities in Part II.E.2 of this permit,
prior to the end of the approved LREW period.
Page 26
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Section H. Alternative TPDES Permit Coverage
1. Individual Permit Alternative
Any discharge eligible for coverage under this general permit may alternatively be
authorized under an individual TPDES permit according to 3o TAC §305(relating to
Consolidated Permits). Applications for individual permit coverage must be submitted
at least three hundred and thirty(330) days prior to commencement of construction
activities to ensure timely authorization. Existing coverage under this general permit
should not be terminated until an individual permit is issued and in effect.
2. Alternative Authorizations for Certain Discharges
Certain discharges eligible for authorization under this general permit may
alternatively be authorized under a separate general permit according to 3o TAC
Chapter 205(relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges),as applicable.
3. Individual Permit Required
The executive director may require an operator of a construction site,otherwise eligible
for authorization under this general permit,to apply for an individual TPDES permit in
the following circumstances:
(a) the conditions of an approved TMDL or TMDL I-Plan on the receiving water;
(b) the activity being determined to cause,has a reasonable potential to cause,or
contribute to a violation of water quality standards or being found to cause,or
contribute to,the loss of a designated use of surface water in the state: and
(c) any other consideration defined in 3o TAC Chapter 205(relating to General Permits
for Waste Discharges)including 3o TAC Chapter 205.4(c)(3)(D),which allows the
commission to deny authorization under the general permit and require an
individual permit if a discharger has been determined by the executive director to
have been out of compliance with any rule,order,or permit of the commission,
including non-payment of fees assessed by the executive director.
A discharger with a TCEQ compliance history rating of"unsatisfactory"is ineligible
for coverage under this general permit. In that case,3o TAC§ 60.3 requires the
executive director to deny or suspend an authorization to discharge under a general
permit. However,per TWC§26.040(h),a discharger is entitled to a hearing before
the commission prior to having an authorization denied or suspended for having an
"unsatisfactory"compliance history.
Denial of authorization to discharge under this general permit or suspension of a
permittee's authorization under this general permit for reasons other than compliance
history shall be done according to commission rules in 3o TAC Chapter 205(relating to
General Permits for Waste Discharges).
4. Alternative Discharge Authorization
Any discharge eligible for authorization under this general permit may alternatively be
authorized under a separate general permit according to 3o TAC Chapter 205 (relating
to General Permits for Waste Discharges),if applicable.
Section I. Permit Expiration
1. This general permit is effective for a term not to exceed five(5)years. All active
discharge authorizations expire on the date provided on page one(I)of this permit.
Following public notice and comment,as provided by 3o TAC§205.3(relating to
Public Notice,Public Meetings, and Public Comment),the commission may amend,
Page 27
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
revoke,cancel,or renew this general permit. All authorizations that are active at the
time the permit term expires will be administratively continued as indicated in Part
II.I.2 below and in Part II.D.i(b)and D.2(b) of this permit.
2. If the executive director publishes a notice of the intent to renew or amend this
general permit before the expiration date,the permit will remain in effect for
existing,authorized discharges until the commission takes final action on the
permit. Upon issuance of a renewed or amended permit,permittees may be
required to submit an NOI within 90 days following the effective date of the renewed
or amended permit,unless that permit provides for an alternative method for
obtaining authorization.
3. If the commission does not propose to reissue this general permit within 90 days
before the expiration date,permittees shall apply for authorization under an
individual permit or an alternative general permit. If the application for an
individual permit is submitted before the expiration date,authorization under this
expiring general permit remains in effect until the issuance or denial of an individual
permit. No new NOIs will be accepted nor new authorizations honored under the
general permit after the expiration date.
Part III. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans(SWP3)
All regulated construction site operators shall prepare an SWP3,prior to submittal of an
NOI,to address discharges authorized under Parts II.E.2 and II.E.3 of this general permit
that will reach Waters of the U.S. This includes discharges to MS4s and privately owned
separate storm sewer systems that drain into surface water in the state or Waters of the U.S.
Individual operators at a site may develop separate SWP3s that cover only their portion of
the project,provided reference is made to the other operators at the site. Where there is
more than one SWP3 for a site, operators must coordinate to ensure that BMPs and controls
are consistent and do not negate or impair the effectiveness of each other. Regardless of
whether a single comprehensive SWP3 is developed or separate SWP3s are developed for
each operator,it is the responsibility of each operator to ensure compliance with the terms
and conditions of this general permit in the areas of the construction site where that operator
has control over construction plans and specifications or day-to-day operations.
An SWP3 must describe the implementation of practices that will be used to minimize to the
extent practicable the discharge of pollutants in stormwater associated with construction
activity and non-stormwater discharges described in Part II.A.3,in compliance with the
terms and conditions of this permit.
An SWP3 must also identify any potential sources of pollutionthat have been determined to
cause,have a reasonable potential to cause,or contribute to a violation of water quality
standards or have been found to cause or contribute to the loss of a designated use of surface
water in the state from discharges of stormwater from construction activities and
construction support activities. Where potential sources of these pollutants are present at a
construction site,the SWP3 must also contain a description of the management practices
that will be used to prevent these pollutants from being discharged into surface water in the
state or Waters of the U.S.
NOTE: Construction support activities can also include vehicle repair areas,fueling
areas,etc.that are present at a construction site solely for the support construction
activities and are only used by operators at the construction site.
The SWP3 is intended to serve as a road map for how the construction operator will comply
with the effluent limits and other conditions of this permit and does not establish the effluent
limits that apply to the construction site's discharges. These limits are established in Part
III.G of the permit.
Page 28
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Section A. Shared SWP3 Development
For more effective coordination of BMPs and opportunities for cost sharing,a
cooperative effort by the different operators at a site is encouraged. Operators of small
and large construction activities must independently obtain authorization under this
permit,but may work together with other regulated operators at the construction site to
prepare and implement a single,comprehensive SWP3,which can be shared by some or
all operators,for the construction activities that each of the operators are performing at
the entire construction site.
1. The SWP3 must include the following:
(a) for small construction activities—the name of each operator that participates in
the shared SWP3;
(b) for large construction activities-the name of each operator that participates in
the shared SWP3,the general permit authorization numbers of each operator
(or the date that the NOI was submitted to TCEQ by each operator that has not
received an authorization number for coverage under this permit); and
(c) for large and small construction activities-the signature of each operator
participating in the shared SWP3.
2. The SWP3 must clearly indicate which operator is responsible for satisfying each
shared requirement of the SWP3. If the responsibility for satisfying a requirement is
not described in the plan,then each permittee is entirely responsible for meeting the
requirement within the boundaries of the construction site where they perform
construction activities. The SWP3 must clearly describe responsibilities for meeting
each requirement in shared or common areas.
3. The SWP3 may provide that one operator is responsible for preparation of a SWP3 in
compliance with the CGP,and another operator is responsible for implementation of
the SWP3 at the project site.
Section B. Responsibilities of Operators
1. Secondary Operators and Primary Operators with Control Over Construction Plans
and Specifications
All secondary operators and primary operators with control over construction plans
and specifications shall:
(a) ensure the project specifications allow or provide that adequate BMPs are
developed to meet the requirements of Part III of this general permit;
(b) ensure that the SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where they have control
over project specifications,including the ability to make modifications in
specifications;
(c) ensure that all other operators affected by modifications in project specifications
• are notified in a timely manner so that those operators may modify their BMP s
as necessary to remain compliant with the conditions of this general permit; and
(d) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators
indicates the name and site-specific TPDES authorization number(s)for
operators with the day-to-day operational control over those activities necessary
to ensure compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions. If a primary
operator has not been authorized or has abandoned the site,the secondary
operator is considered to be the responsible party and must obtain authorization
Page 29
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
as a primary operator under the permit,until the authority for day-to-day
operational control is transferred to another primary operator. The new primary
operator must update or develop a new SWP3 that will reflect the transfer of
operational control and include any additional updates to the SWP3 to meet
requirements of the permit.
2. Primary Operators with Day-to-Day Operational Control
Primary operators with day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project
that are necessary to ensure compliance with an SWP3 and other permit conditions
must ensure that the SWP3 accomplishes the following requirements:
(a) meets the requirements of this general permit for those portions of the project
where they are operators;
(b) identifies the parties responsible for implementation of BMPs described in the
SWP3;
(c) indicates areas of the project where they have operational control over day-to-
day activities; and
(d) the name and site-specific TPDES authorization number of the parties with
control over project specifications,including the ability to make modifications in
specifications for areas where they have operational control over day-to-day
activities.
Section C. Deadlines for SWP3 Preparation,Implementation, and Compliance
The SWP3 must be prepared prior to obtaining authorization under this general permit,
and implemented prior to commencing construction activities that result in soil
disturbance. The SWP3 must be prepared so that it provides for compliance with the
terms and conditions of this general permit.
Section D. Plan Review and Making Plans Available
1. The SWP3 must be retained on-site at the construction site or,if the site is inactive or
does not have an on-site location to store the plan,a notice must be posted describing
the location of the SWP3. The SWP3 must be made readily available at the time of an
on-site inspection to: the executive director; a federal,state,or local agency
approving sediment and erosion plans,grading plans, or stormwater management
plans;local government officials; and the operator of a municipal separate storm
sewer receiving discharges from the site. If the SWP3 is retained off-site,then it shall
be made available as soon as reasonably possible. In most instances,it is reasonable
that the SWP3 shall be made available within 24 hours of the request.
2. Operators with authorization for construction activity under this general permit must
post a TCEQ site notice at the construction site at a place readily available for viewing
by the general public,and local,state,and federal authorities.
(a) Primary and secondary operators of large construction activities must each post
a TCEQ construction site notice,respective to their role as an operator at the
construction site,as required above and according to requirements in Part II.E.3
of this general permit.
(b) Primary and secondary operators of small construction activities must post the
TCEQ site notice as required in Part III.D.2.(a) above and for the specific type of
small construction described in Part II.E.i and 2 of the permit.
(c) If the construction project is a linear construction project,such as a pipeline or
highway,the notices must be placed in a publicly accessible location near where
construction is actively underway. Site notices for small and large construction
Page 3o
•
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000

activities at these linear construction sites maybe located,as necessary,along
the length of the project,but must still be readily available for viewing by the
general public;local,state, and federal authorities; and contain the following
information:
i. the site-specific TPDES authorization number for the project if assigned;
ii. the operator name,contact name,and contact phone number;
iii. a brief description of the project; and
iv. the location of the SWP3.
3. This permit does not provide the general public with any right to trespass on a
construction site for any reason,including inspection of a site;nor does this permit
require that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction
site.
Section E. Revisions and Updates to SWP3s
The permittee must revise or update the SWP3 within seven days of when any of the
following occurs:
1. a change in design,construction,operation,or maintenance that has a significant
effect on the discharge of pollutants and that has not been previously addressed in
the SWP3;
2. changing site conditions based on updated plans and specifications,new operators,
new areas of responsibility,and changes in BMPs; or
3. results of inspections or investigations by construction site personnel authorized by
the permittee,operators of a municipal separate storm sewer system receiving the
discharge, authorized TCEQ personnel,or a federal,state or local agency approving
sediment and erosion plans indicate the SWP3 is proving ineffective in eliminating or
significantly minimizing pollutants in discharges authorized under this general
permit.
Section F. Contents of SWP3,
The SWP3 must be developed and implemented by primary operators of small and large
construction activities and include,at a minimum,the information described in this
section and must comply with the construction and development effluent guidelines in
Part III, Section G of the general permit.
1. A site or project description,which includes the following information:
(a) a description of the nature of the construction activity;
(b) a list of potential pollutants and their sources;
(c) a description of the intended schedule or sequence of activities that will disturb
soils for major portions of the site,including estimated start dates and duration

proximity to the site, and also indicate whether those waters are impaired;
vii. locations where stormwater discharges from the site directly to a surface
water body or a municipal separate storm sewer system;
viii. vehicle wash areas; and
ix. designated points on the site where vehicles will exit onto paved roads (for
instance,this applies to construction transition from unstable dirt areas to
exterior paved roads).
Where the amount of information required to be included on the map would
result in a single map being difficult to read and interpret,the operator shall
develop a series of maps that collectively include the required information.
(h) the location and description of support activities authorized under the
permittee's NOI,including asphalt plants,concrete plants, and other activities
providing support to the construction site that is authorized under this general
permit;
(i) the name of receiving waters at or near the site that may be disturbed or that
may receive discharges from disturbed areas of the project;

(k) the NOI and the acknowledgement of provisional and non-provisional
authorization for primary operators of large construction sites, and the site
notice for small construction sites and for secondary operators of large
construction sites;
(1) stormwater and allowable non-stormwater discharge locations,including storm
drain inlets on site and in the immediate vicinity of the construction site where
construction support activities will occur; and
(m) locations of all pollutant-generating activities at the construction site and where
construction support activities will occur,such as the following: Paving
operations; concrete,paint and stucco washout and water disposal; solid waste
storage and disposal; and dewatering operations.
2. A description of the BMPs that will be used to minimize pollution in runoff.
The description must identify the general timing or sequence for implementation. At
a minimum,the description must include the following components:
(a) General Requirements
i. Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment on-site
to the extent practicable with consideration for local topography,soil type,
and rainfall.
ii. Control measures must be properly selected,installed, and maintained
according to the manufacturer's or designer's specifications.
•
Page 32
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
iii. Controls must be developed to minimize the offsite transport of litter,
construction debris,and construction materials.
(b) Erosion Control and Stabilization Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of temporary and permanent erosion
control and stabilization practices for the construction site,where small or large
construction activity will occur. The erosion control and stabilization practices
selected by the permittee must be compliant with the requirements for sediment
and erosion control,located in Part III.G of this permit. The description of the
SWP3 must also include a schedule of when the practices will be implemented.
Site plans must ensure that existing vegetation at the construction site is
preserved where it is possible.
i. Erosion control and stabilization practices may include but are not limited
to: establishment of temporary or permanent vegetation,mulching,
geotextiles,sod stabilization,vegetative buffer strips,protection of existing
trees and vegetation,slope texturing,temporary velocity dissipation
devices,flow diversion mechanisms,and other similar measures.
ii. The following records must be maintained and either attached to or
referenced in the SWP3,and made readily available upon request to the
parties listed in Part III.D.].of this general permit:
(A) the dates when major grading activities occur;
(B) the dates when construction activities temporarily or permanently
cease on a portion of the site; and
(C) the dates when stabilization measures are initiated.
iii. Erosion control and stabilization measures must be initiated immediately
in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily
ceased and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days.
Stabilization measures that provide a protective cover must be initiated
immediately in portions of the site where construction activities have
permanently ceased. The term"immediately"is used to define the
deadline for initiating stabilization measures.In the context of this
requirement,"immediately"means as soon as practicable,but no later than
the end of the next work day,following the day when the earth-disturbing
activities have temporarily or permanently ceased. Except as provided in
(A)through(D)below,these measures must be completed as soon as
practicable,but no more than 14 calendar days after the initiation of soil
stabilization measures:
(A) Where the immediate initiation of vegetative stabilization measures
after construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased due
to frozen conditions, non-vegetative controls must be implemented
until thawing conditions(as defined in Part I.B of this general permit)
are present, and vegetative stabilization measures can be initiated as
soon as practicable.
(B) In arid areas,semi-arid areas, or drought-stricken areas,as they are
defined in Part I.B of this general permit,where the immediate
initiation of vegetative stabilization measures after construction
activity has temporarily or permanently ceased or is precluded by arid
conditions, other types of erosion control and stabilization measures
must be initiated at the site as soon as practicable. Where vegetative
controls are infeasible due to arid conditions, and within 14 calendar
days of a temporary or permanent cessation of construction activity in
any portion of the site,the operator shall immediately install non-
Page 33
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
vegetative erosion controls in areas of the construction site where
construction activity is complete or has ceased. If non-vegetative
controls are infeasible,the operator shall install temporary sediment
controls as required in Part III.F.2.(b).iii.(C)below.
(C) In areas where non-vegetative controls are infeasible,the operator
may alternatively utilize temporary perimeter controls. The operator
must document in the SWP3 the reason why stabilization measures
are not feasible, and must demonstrate that the perimeter controls will
retain sediment on site to the extent practicable. The operator must
continue to inspect the BMPs at the frequencies established in Part
III.F.7.(c)for unstabilized sites.
(D) The requirement for permittees to initiate stabilization is triggered as
soon as it is known with reasonable certainty that construction activity
at the site or in certain areas of the site will be stopped for 14 or more
additional calendar days. If the initiation or completion of vegetative
stabilization is prevented by circumstances beyond the control of the
permittee,the permittee must employ and implement alternative
stabilization measures immediately. When conditions at the site
changes that would allow for vegetative stabilization,then the
permittee must initiate or complete vegetative stabilization as soon as
practicable.
iv. Final stabilization must be achieved prior to termination of permit
coverage.
v. TCEQ does not expect that temporary or permanent stabilization measures
to be applied to areas that are intended to be left un-vegetated or un-
stabilized following construction(e.g.,dirt access roads,utility pole pads,
areas being used for storage of vehicles,equipment,or materials).
(c) Sediment Control Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of any sediment control practices used to
remove eroded soils from stormwater runoff,including the general timing or
sequence for implementation of controls.
i. Sites With Drainage Areas of Ten or More Acres
(A) Sedimentation Basin(s)
(i) A sedimentation basin is required,where feasible,for a common
drainage location that serves an area with ten(io)or more acres
disturbed at one time. A sedimentation basin may be temporary or
permanent, and must provide sufficient storage to contain a
calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from
each disturbed acre drained. When calculating the volume of
runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm event,it is not required to
include the flows from offsite areas and flow from onsite areas that
are either undisturbed or have already undergone permanent
stabilization,if these flows are diverted around both the disturbed
areas of the site and the sediment basin. Capacity calculations shall
be included in the SWP3.
(2) Where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be
performed,the sedimentation basin must provide at least 3,600
cubic feet of storage per acre drained until final stabilization of the
site.
Page 34
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(3) If a sedimentation basin is not feasible,then the permittee shall
provide equivalent control measures until final stabilization of the
site. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is
feasible,the permittee may consider factors such as site soils,
slope,available area,public safety,precipitation patterns,site
geometry,site vegetation,infiltration capacity,geotechnical
factors,depth to groundwater, and other similar considerations.
The permittee shall document the reason that the sediment basins
are not feasible,and shall utilize equivalent control measures,
which may include a series of smaller sediment basins.
(4) Unless infeasible,when discharging from sedimentation basins
and impoundments,the permittee shall utilize outlet structures
that withdraw water from the surface.
(B) Perimeter Controls: At a minimum,silt fences,vegetative buffer
strips,or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope
boundaries of the construction area,and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site
conditions.
ii. Controls for Sites With Drainage Areas Less than Ten Acres:
(A) Sediment traps and sediment basins may be used to control solids in
stormwater runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten(io)
acres. At a minimum,silt fences,vegetative buffer strips, or
equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope
boundaries of the construction area, and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site
conditions.
(B) Alternatively,a sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated
volume of runoff from a 2-year,24-hour storm from each disturbed
acre drained may be utilized. Where rainfall data is not available or a
calculation cannot be performed, a temporary or permanent sediment
basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained may be
provided. If a calculation is performed,then the calculation shall be
included in the SWP3.
(C) If sedimentation basins or impoundments are used,the permittee
shall comply with the requirements in Part III.G.6 of this general
permit.
3. Description of Permanent Stormwater Controls
A description of any stormwater control measures that will be installed during the
construction process to control pollutants in stormwater discharges that may occur
after construction operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3.
Permittees are responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater
management measures,as follows:
(a) permittees authorized under the permit for small construction activities are
responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater control measures
prior to final stabilization of the site; or
(b) permittees authorized under the permit for large construction activities are
responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater control measures
prior to final stabilization of the site and prior to submission of an NOT.
4. Other Required Controls and BMPs
Page 35
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(a) Permittees shall minimize,to the extent practicable,the off-site vehicle tracking
of sediments and the generation of dust. The SWP3 shall include a description
of controls utilized to accomplish this requirement.
(b) The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials
expected to be stored on-site and a description of controls to minimize pollutants
from these materials.
(c) The SWP3 must include a description of potential pollutant sources in
discharges of stormwater from all areas of the construction site where
construction activity,including construction support activities,will be located,
and a description of controls and measures that will be implemented at those
sites to minimize pollutant discharges.
(d) Permittees shall place velocity dissipation devices at discharge locations and
along the length of any outfall channel(i.e.,runoff conveyance)to provide a non-
erosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course,so that the natural
physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and
protected.
(e) Permittees shall design and utilize appropriate controls to minimize the offsite
transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump
or channel standing water from the site.
(f) Permittees shall ensure that all other required controls and BMPs comply with
all of the requirements of Part III.G of this general permit.
(g) For demolition of any structure with at least 10,000 square feet of floor space
that was built or renovated before January 1, 198o,and the receiving waterbody
is impaired for polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs):
i. Implement controls to minimize the exposure of PCB-containing building
materials,including paint,caulk,and pre-198o fluorescent lighting fixtures
to precipitation and to stormwater; and
ii. Ensure that disposal of such materials is performed in compliance with
applicable state,federal,and local laws.
5. Documentation of Compliance with Approved State and Local Plans
(a) Permittees must ensure that the SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified
in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or site permits,or stormwater
management site plans or site permits approved by federal,state,or local
officials.
(b) SWP3s must be updated as necessary to remain consistent with any changes
applicable to protecting surface water resources in sediment erosion site plans or
site permits, or stormwater management site plans or site permits approved by
state or local official for which the permittee receives written notice.
(c) If the permittee is required to prepare a separate management plan,including
but not limited to a WPAP or Contributing Zone Plan in accordance with 3o TAC
Chapter 213(related to the Edwards Aquifer),then a copy of that plan must be
either included in the SWP3 or made readily available upon request to
authorized personnel of the TCEQ. The permittee shall maintain a copy of the
approval letter for the plan in its SWP3.
6. Maintenance Requirements
(a) All protective measures identified in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective
operating condition. If,through inspections or other means, as soon as the
permittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively,then the permittee
shall perform maintenance as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness
Page 36
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
of stormwater controls,and prior to the next rain event if feasible. If
maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable,the
reason shall be documented in the SWP3 and maintenance must be scheduled
and accomplished as soon as practicable. Erosion and sediment controls that
have been intentionally disabled,run-over,removed,or otherwise rendered
ineffective must be replaced or corrected immediately upon discovery.
(b) If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used
incorrectly,is performing inadequately,or is damaged,then the operator shall
replace or modify the control as soon as practicable after making the discovery.
(c) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps and sedimentation ponds no
later than the time that design capacity has been reduced by 5o%. For perimeter
controls such as silt fences,berms,etc.,the trapped sediment must be removed
before it reaches 5o%of the above-ground height.
(d) If sediment escapes the site,accumulations must be removed at a frequency that
minimizes off-site impacts, and prior to the next rain event,if feasible. If the
permittee does not own or operate the off-site conveyance,then the permittee
shall work with the owner or operator of the property to remove the sediment.
7. Inspections of Controls
(a) Personnel provided by the permittee must inspect disturbed areas (cleared,
graded,or excavated)of the construction site that do not meet the requirements
of final stabilization in this general permit, all locations where stabilization
measures have been implemented, areas of construction support activity covered
under this permit,stormwater controls(including pollution prevention controls)
for evidence of,or the potential for,the discharge of pollutants,areas where
stormwater typically flows within the construction site,and points of discharge
from the construction site.
i. Personnel conducting these inspections must be knowledgeable of this
general permit,the construction activities at the site, and the SWP3 for the
site.
ii. Personnel conducting these inspections are not required to have signatory
authority for inspection reports under 3o TAC§305.128.
(b) Requirements for Inspections
i. Inspect all stormwater controls(including sediment and erosion control
measures identified in the SWP3)to ensure that they are installed properly,
appear to be operational,and minimizing pollutants in discharges, as
intended.
ii. Identify locations on the construction site where new or modified
stormwater controls are necessary.
iii. Check for signs of visible erosion and sedimentation that can be attributed
to the points of discharge where discharges leave the construction site or
discharge into any surface water in the state flowing within or adjacent to
the construction site.
iv. Identify any incidents of noncompliance observed during the inspection.
v. Inspect locations where vehicles enter or exit the site for evidence of off-site
sediment tracking.
vi. If an inspection is performed when discharges from the construction site are
occurring: identify all discharge points at the site,observe and document
the visual quality of the discharge(i.e.,color,odor,floating,settled,or
Page 37
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
suspended solids,foam,oil sheen, and other such indicators of pollutants in
stormwater).
vii. Complete any necessary maintenance needed,based on the results of the
inspection and in accordance with the requirements listed in Part III.F.6
above.
(c) Inspection frequencies:
i. Inspections of construction sites must be conducted at least once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches
or greater,unless as otherwise provided below in Part III.F.7.(c).ii—v
below.
ii. Inspection frequencies must be conducted at least once every month in
areas of the construction site that meet final stabilization or have been
temporarily stabilized.
iii. Inspection frequencies for construction sites,where runoff is unlikely due to
the occurrence of frozen conditions at the site,must be conducted at least
once every month until thawing conditions begin to occur(See definitions
for thawing conditions in Part I.B). The SWP3 must also contain a record of
the approximate beginning and ending dates of when frozen conditions
occurred at the site,which resulted in inspections being conducted monthly,
while those conditions persisted,instead of at the interval of once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches
or greater.
iv. In arid,semi-arid,or drought-stricken areas,inspections must be conducted
at least once every month and within 24 hours after the end of a storm event
of 0.5 inches or greater. The SWP3 must also contain a record of the total
rainfall measured,as well as the approximate beginning and ending dates of
when drought conditions occurred at the site,which resulted in inspections
being conducted monthly,while those conditions persisted,instead of at the
interval of once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a
storm event of 0.5 inches or greater.
v. As an alternative to the inspection schedule in Part III.F.7.(c).i above,the
SWP3 maybe developed to require that these inspections will occur at least
once every seven(7)calendar days. If this alternative schedule is developed,
then the inspection must occur regardless of whether or not there has been
a rainfall event since the previous inspection.
vi. The inspection procedures described in Part III.F.7.(c).i.—v above can be
performed at the frequencies and under the applicable conditions indicated
for each schedule option,provided that the SWP3 reflects the current
schedule and that any changes to the schedule are made in accordance with
the following provisions: the inspection frequency schedule can only be
changed a maximum of one time each month;the schedule change must be
implemented at the beginning of a calendar month; and the reason for the
schedule change documented in the SWP3(e.g., end of"dry"season and
beginning of"wet"season).
(d) Utility line installation,pipeline construction, and other examples of long,
narrow,linear construction activities may provide inspection personnel with
limited access to the areas described in Part III.F.7.(a)above.
i. Inspection of linear construction sites could require the use of vehicles that
could compromise areas of temporary or permanent stabilization, cause
Page 38
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
additional disturbance of soils, and result in the increase the potential for
erosion. In these circumstances,controls must be inspected at least once
every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of
0.5 inches or greater,but representative inspections may be performed.
ii. For representative inspections,personnel must inspect controls along the
construction site for 0.25 mile above and below each access point where a
roadway,undisturbed right-of-way,or other similar feature intersects the
construction site and allows access to the areas described in Part III.F.7.(a)
above. The conditions of the controls along each inspected 0.25 mile
portion may be considered as representative of the condition of controls
along that reach extending from the end of the 0.25 mile portion to either
the end of the next 0.25 mile inspected portion,or to the end of the project,
whichever occurs first.
As an alternative to the inspection schedule described in Part III.F.7.(c).i
above,the SWP3 maybe developed to require that these inspections will
occur at least once every seven(7)calendar days. If this alternative
schedule is developed,the inspection must occur regardless of whether or
not there has been a rainfall event since the previous inspection.
iii. The SWP3 for a linear construction site must reflect the current inspection
schedule. Any changes to the inspection schedule must be made in
accordance with the following provisions:
(A) the schedule maybe changed a maximum of one time each month;
(B) the schedule change must be implemented at the beginning of a
calendar month,and
(C) the reason for the schedule change must be documented in the SWP3
(e.g.,end of"dry"season and beginning of"wet"season).
(e) In the event of flooding or other uncontrollable situations which prohibit access
to the inspection sites,inspections must be conducted as soon as access is
practicable.
(f) Inspection Reports
i. A report summarizing the scope of any inspection must be completed within
24-hours following the inspection. The report must also include the date(s)
of the inspection and major observations relating to the implementation of
the SWP3. Major observations in the report must include: the locations of
where erosion and discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site
have occurred;locations of BMPs that need to be maintained;locations of
BMPs that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a
particular location; and locations where additional BMPs are needed.
ii. Actions taken as a result of inspections must be described within,and
retained as a part of,the SWP3. Reports must identify any incidents of non-
compliance. Where a report does not identify any incidents of non-
compliance,the report must contain a certification that the facility or site is
in compliance with the SWP3 and this permit. The report must be retained
as part of the SWP3 and signed by the person and in the manner required by
3o TAC§305.128 (relating to Signatories to Reports).
iii. The names and qualifications of personnel making the inspections for the
permittee may be documented once in the SWP3 rather than being included
in each report.
(g) The SWP3 must be modified based on the results of inspections, as necessary,to
better control pollutants in runoff. Revisions to the SWP3 must be completed
Page 39
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
within seven(7)calendar days following the inspection. If existing BMPs are
modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, an implementation schedule
must be described in the SWP3 and wherever possible those changes
implemented before the next storm event. If implementation before the next
anticipated storm event is impracticable,these changes must be implemented
as soon as practicable.
8. The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution
prevention measures for all eligible non-stormwater components of the discharge,as
listed in Part II.A.3 of this permit.
9. The SWP3 must include the information required in Part III.B of this general permit.
10. The SWP3 must include pollution prevention procedures that comply with Part
III.G.4 of this general permit.
Section G. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements Applicable to All Sites
Except as provided in 4o CFR§§125.3o-125.32,any discharge regulated under this
general permit,with the exception of sites that obtained waivers based on low rainfall
erosivity,must achieve, at a minimum,the following effluent limitations representing
the degree of effluent reduction attainable by application of the best practicable control
technology currently available(BPT).
1. Erosion and sediment controls.Design,install,and maintain effective erosion
controls and sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants.At a
minimum,such controls must be designed,installed, and maintained to:
(a) Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion
in order to minimize pollutant discharges;
(b) Control stormwater discharges,including both peak flowrates and total
stormwater volume,to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in
the immediate vicinity of discharge point(s);
(c) Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity;
(d) Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes;
(e) Minimize sediment discharges from the site. The design,installation,and
maintenance of erosion and sediment controls must address factors such as the
amount,frequency,intensity and duration of precipitation,the nature of
resulting stormwater runoff, and soil characteristics,including the range of soil
particle sizes expected to be present on the site;
(f) If earth disturbance activities are located in close proximity to a surface water in
the state,provide and maintain appropriate natural buffers if feasible and as
necessary,around surface water in the state,depending on site-specific
topography,sensitivity,and proximity to water bodies. Direct stormwater to
vegetated areas and maximize stormwater infiltration to reduce pollutant
discharges,unless infeasible. If providing buffers is infeasible,the permittee
shall document the reason that natural buffers are infeasible and shall
implement additional erosion and sediment controls to reduce sediment load;
(g) Preserve native topsoil at the site,unless the intended function of a specific area
of the site dictates that the topsoil be disturbed or removed,or it is infeasible; •
and
(h) Minimize soil compaction. In areas of the construction site where final
vegetative stabilization will occur or where infiltration practices will be installed,
either:
i. restrict vehicle and equipment use to avoid soil compaction; or
Page 4o
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
ii. prior to seeding or planting areas of exposed soil that have been compacted,
use techniques that condition the soils to support vegetative growth,if
necessary and feasible;
Minimizing soil compaction is not required where the intended function of a
specific area of the site dictates that it be compacted.
(i) TCEQ does not consider stormwater control features(e.g.,stormwater
conveyance channels,storm drain inlets,sediment basins)to constitute"surface
water"for the purposes of triggering the buffer requirement in Part III.G.i.(f)
above.
2. Soil stabilization.Stabilization of disturbed areas must, at a minimum,be initiated
immediately whenever any clearing,grading,excavating,or other earth disturbing
activities have permanently ceased on any portion of the site,or temporarily ceased
on any portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar
days. In the context of this requirement,"immediately"means as soon as practicable,
but no later than the end of the next work day,following the day when the earth-
disturbing activities have temporarily or permanently ceased. Temporary
stabilization must be completed no more than 14 calendar days after initiation of soil
stabilization measures,and final stabilization must be achieved prior to termination of
permit coverage. In arid,semi-arid,and drought-stricken areas where initiating
vegetative stabilization measures immediately is infeasible, alternative non-
vegetative stabilization measures must be employed as soon as practicable.Refer to
Part III.F.2.(b)for complete erosion control and stabilization practice requirements.
In limited circumstances,stabilization may not be required if the intended function
of a specific area of the site necessitates that it remain disturbed.
3. Dewatering.Discharges from dewatering activities,including discharges from
dewatering of trenches and excavations,are prohibited,unless managed by
appropriate controls.
4. Pollution prevention measures.Design,install,implement, and maintain effective
pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants.At a
minimum,such measures must be designed,installed,implemented,and maintained
to:
(a) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing,
wheel wash water,and other wash waters.Wash waters must be treated in a
sediment basin or alternative control that provides equivalent or better
treatment prior to discharge;
(b) Minimize the exposure of building materials,building products, construction
wastes,trash,landscape materials,fertilizers,pesticides,herbicides,detergents,
sanitary waste, and other materials present on the site to precipitation and to
stormwater;
(c) Minimize the exposure of waste materials by closing waste container lids at the
end of the work day.For waste containers that do not have lids,where the
container itself is not sufficiently secure enough to prevent the discharge of
pollutants absent a cover and could leak;the permittee must provide either a
cover(e.g.,a tarp,plastic sheeting,temporary roof)to minimize exposure of
wastes to precipitation,or a similarly effective means designed to minimize the
discharge of pollutants(e.g.,secondary containment);and
(d) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from spills and leaks,and implement
chemical spill and leak prevention and response procedures.
5. Prohibited discharges.The following discharges are prohibited:
Page 41
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(a) Wastewater from wash out of concrete,unless managed by an appropriate
control;
(b) Wastewater from wash out and cleanout of stucco,paint,form release oils,
curing compounds and other construction materials;
(c) Fuels, oils,or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and
maintenance;
(d) Soaps or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing; and
(e) Toxic or hazardous substances from a spill or other release.
6. Surface outlets.When discharging from basins and impoundments,utilize outlet
structures that withdraw water from the surface,unless infeasible.
Part IV. Stormwater Runoff from Concrete Batch Plants
Discharges of stormwater runoff from concrete batch plants present at regulated
construction sites and operated as a construction support activity may be authorized under
the provisions of this general permit,provided that the following requirements are met for
concrete batch plant(s) authorized under this permit. Only the discharges of stormwater
runoff and non-stormwater from concrete batch plants that meet the requirements of a
construction support activity can be authorized under this permit(see the requirements for
"Non-Stormwater Discharges"in Part II.A.3 and"Discharges of Stormwater Associated with
Construction Support Activity"in Part II.A.2).
If discharges of stormwater runoff or non-stormwater from concrete batch plants are not
authorized under this general permit,then discharges must be authorized under an
alternative general permit or individual permit[see the requirement in Part II.A.2.(c)].
This permit does not authorize the discharge or land disposal of any wastewater from
concrete batch plants at regulated construction sites. Authorization for these wastes must be
obtained under an individual permit or an alternative general permit.
Section A. Benchmark Sampling Requirements
1. Operators of concrete batch plants authorized under this general permit shall sample
the stormwater runoff from the concrete batch plants according to the requirements
of this section of this general permit,and must conduct evaluations on the
effectiveness of the SWP3 based on the following benchmark monitoring values:
Table 1. Benchmark Parameters
Benchmark Benchmark Value Sampling Sample Type
Parameter Frequency
Oil and Grease(*1) 15 mg/L 1/quarter(*2) (*3) Grab(*4)
Total Suspended 50 mg/L 1/quarter(*2) (*3) Grab(*4)
Solids(*1)
pH 6.o—9.o Standard Units 1/quarter(*2) (*3) Grab(*4)
Total Iron(*1) 1.3 mg/L 1/quarter(*2) (*3) Grab(*4)
(*1) All analytical results for these parameters must be obtained from a laboratory
that is accredited based on rules located in 3o TAC§25.4(a)or through the
National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program(NELAP).
Analysis must be performed using sufficiently sensitive methods for analysis
that comply with the rules located in 4o CFR§136.1(c) and 4o CFR
§122.44(i)(1)(iv).
Page 42
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(*2) When discharge occurs. Sampling is required within the first 3o minutes of
discharge. If it is not practicable to take the sample, or to complete the
sampling,within the first 3o minutes,sampling must be completed within the
first hour of discharge. If sampling is not completed within the first 3o
minutes of discharge,the reason must be documented and attached to all
required reports and records of the sampling activity.
(*3) Sampling must be conducted at least once during each of the following periods.
The first sample must be collected during the first full quarter that a
stormwater discharge occurs from a concrete batch plant authorized under this
general permit.
January through March
April through June
July through September
October.through December
For projects lasting less than one full quarter,a minimum of one sample shall
be collected,provided that a stormwater discharge occurred at least once
following submission of the NOI or following the date that automatic
authorization was obtained under Section II.E.2,and prior to terminating
coverage.
(*4) A grab sample shall be collected from the stormwater discharge resulting from
a storm event that is at least 0.1 inches of measured precipitation that occurs at
least 72 hours from the previously measurable storm event. The sample shall
be collected downstream of the concrete batch plant, and where the discharge
exits any BMPs utilized to handle the runoff from the batch plant,prior to
commingling with any other water authorized under this general permit.
2. The permittee must compare the results of sample analyses to the benchmark values
above,and must include this comparison in the overall assessment of the SWP3's
effectiveness. Analytical results that exceed a benchmark value are not a violation of
this permit, as these values are not numeric effluent limitations. Results of analyses
are indicators that modifications of the SWP3 should be assessed and may be
necessary to protect water quality. The operator must investigate the cause for each
exceedance and must document the results of this investigation in the SWP3 by the
end of the quarter following the sampling event.
The operator's investigation must identify the following:
(a) any additional potential sources of pollution,such as spills that might have
occurred;
(b) necessary revisions to good housekeeping measures that are part of the SWP3;
(c) additional BMPs,including a schedule to install or implement the BMPs; and
(d) other parts of the SWP3 that may require revisions in order to meet the goal of
the benchmark values.
Background concentrations of specific pollutants may also be considered during the
investigation. If the operator is able to relate the cause of the exceedance to
background concentrations,then subsequent exceedances of benchmark values for
that pollutant may be resolved by referencing earlier findings in the SWP3.
Background concentrations may be identified by laboratory analyses of samples of
stormwater run-on to the permitted facility,by laboratory analyses of samples of
stormwater run-off from adjacent non-industrial areas,or by identifying the •
pollutant is a naturally occurring material in soils at the site.

implemented in the area(s)associated with concrete batch plants.
i. Operators must prevent or minimize the discharge of spilled cement,
aggregate(including sand or gravel),settled dust,or other significant
materials from paved portions of the site that are exposed to stormwater.
Measures used to minimize the presence of these materials may include
regular sweeping or other equivalent practices. These practices must be
conducted at a frequency that is determined based on consideration of the
amount of industrial activity occurring in the area and frequency of
precipitation,and shall occur at least once per week when cement or
aggregate is being handled or otherwise processed in the area.
ii. Operators must prevent the exposure of fine granular solids,such as
cement,to stormwater.Where practicable,these materials must be stored
in enclosed silos,hoppers or buildings,in covered areas,or under covering.
(b) Spill Prevention and Response Procedures-Areas where potential spills that
can contribute pollutants to stormwater runoff,and the drainage areas from
these locations,must be identified in the SWP3. Where appropriate,the SWP3
must specify material handling procedures,storage requirements,and use of
equipment. Procedures for cleaning up spills must be identified in the SWP3
and made available to the appropriate personnel.
(c) Inspections-Qualified facility personnel(i.e.,a person or persons with
knowledge of this general permit,the concrete batch plant,and the SWP3
related to the concrete batch plant(s)for the site)must be identified to inspect
designated equipment and areas of the facility specified in the SWP3.
Personnel conducting these inspections are not required to have signatory
authority for inspection reports under 3o TAC§305.128. Inspections of

3. Comprehensive Compliance Evaluation—At least once per year,one or more
qualified personnel(i.e.,a person or persons with knowledge of this general permit,
the concrete batch plant,and the SWP3 related to the concrete batch plant(s)for the
site)shall conduct a compliance evaluation of the plant. The evaluation must include
the following.
(a) Visual examination of all areas draining stormwater associated with regulated
concrete batch plants for evidence of,or the potential for,pollutants entering
the drainage system. These include,but are not limited to: cleaning areas,
material handling areas,above ground storage tanks,hoppers or silos,dust
collection/containment systems,and truck wash down and equipment cleaning
areas. Measures implemented to reduce pollutants in runoff(including
structural controls and implementation of management practices)must be
evaluated to determine if they are effective and if they are implemented in
accordance with the terms of this permit and with the permittee's SWP3. The
operator shall conduct a visual inspection of equipment needed to implement
the SWP3,such as spill response equipment.
(b) Based on the results of the evaluation,the following must be revised as
appropriate within two weeks of the evaluation: the description of potential
pollutant sources identified in the SWP3(as required in Part IV.B.1,

(c) The permittee shall prepare and include in the SWP3 a report summarizing the
scope of the evaluation,the personnel making the evaluation,the date(s)of the
evaluation,major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3,and
actions taken in response to the findings of the evaluation. The report must
identify any incidents of noncompliance. Where the report does not identify
incidences of noncompliance,the report must contain a statement that the
evaluation did not identify any incidence(s),and the report must be signed
according to 3o TAC§305.128,relating to Signatories to Reports.
(d) The Comprehensive Compliance Evaluation may substitute for one of the
required inspections delineated in Part IV.B.2.(c)of this general permit.
Section C. Prohibition of Wastewater Discharges
Wastewater discharges associated with concrete production including wastewater
disposal by land application are not authorized under this general permit. These
wastewater discharges must be authorized under an alternative TCEQ water quality
permit or otherwise disposed of in an authorized manner. Discharges of concrete truck
wash out at construction sites maybe authorized if conducted in accordance with the
requirements of Part V of this general permit.
Part V. Concrete Truck Wash Out Requirements
This general permit authorizes the land disposal of wash out from concrete trucks at
construction sites regulated under this general permit,provided the following requirements
are met. Any discharge of concrete production waste water to surface water in the state must
be authorized under a separate TCEQ general permit or individual permit.
A. Discharge of concrete truck wash out water to surface water in the state,including
discharge to storm sewers,is prohibited by this general permit.
B. Concrete truck wash out water shall be disposed in areas at the construction site
where structural controls have been established to prevent discharge to surface water
Page 46
Construction General Permit . TPDES General Permit TXR150000
in the state,or to areas that have a minimal slope that allow infiltration and filtering
of wash out water to prevent discharge to surface water in the state. Structural
controls may consist of temporary berms,temporary shallow pits,temporary storage
tanks with slow rate release, or other reasonable measures to prevent runoff from the
construction site.
C. Wash out of concrete trucks during rainfall events shall be minimized. The discharge
of concrete truck wash out water is prohibited at all times,and the operator shall
insure that its BMPs are sufficient to prevent the discharge of concrete truck wash out
as the result of rainfall or stormwater runoff.
D. The disposal of wash out water from concrete trucks,made under authorization of
this general permit must not cause or contribute to groundwater contamination.
E. If a SWP3 is required to be implemented,the SWP3 shall include concrete wash out
areas on the associated site map.
Part VI. Retention of Records
The permittee must retain the following records for a minimum period of three(3)years
from the date that a NOT is submitted as required in Part II.F.1 and 2 of this permit. For
activities in which an NOT is not required,records shall be retained for a minimum period of
three(3)years from the date that the operator terminates coverage under Section II.F.3 of
this permit. Records include:
A. A copy of the SWP3;
B. All reports and actions required by this permit,including a copy of the construction
site notice;
C. All data used to complete the NOI,if an NOI is required for coverage under this
general permit; and
D. All records of submittal of forms submitted to the operator of any MS4 receiving the
discharge and to the secondary operator of a large construction site,if applicable.
Part VII. Standard Permit Conditions
A. The permittee has a duty to comply with all permit conditions. Failure to comply
with any permit condition is a violation of the permit and statutes under which it was
issued(CWA and TWC),and is grounds for enforcement action,for terminating,
revoking and reissuance,or modification,or denying coverage under this general
permit,or for requiring a discharger to apply for and obtain an individual TPDES
permit,based on rules located in TWC§23.086,30 TAC§305.66 and 4o CFR§122.41
(a).
B. Authorization under this general permit may be modified,suspended,revoked and
reissued,terminated or otherwise suspended for cause,based on rules located in
TWC§23.086,30 TAC§305.66 and 4o CFR§122.41(f). Filing a notice of planned
changes or anticipated non-compliance by the permittee does not stay any permit
condition. The permittee must furnish to the executive director,upon request and
within a reasonable time,any information necessary for the executive director to
determine whether cause exists for modifying,revoking and reissuing,terminating
or,otherwise suspending authorization under this permit,based on rules located in
TWC§23.086,3o TAC§305.66 and 4o CFR§122.41(h). Additionally,the permittee
must provide to the executive director,upon request,copies of all records that the
permittee is required to maintain as a condition of this general permit.
C. It is not a defense for a discharger in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity to maintain compliance with the
permit conditions.

Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150oo0
D. Inspection and entry shall be allowed under TWC Chapters 26-28,Texas Health and
Safety Code§§361.032-361.o33 and 361.037, and 4o CFR§122.41(i).The statement
in TWC§26.014 that commission entry of a facility shall occur according to an
establishment's rules and regulations concerning safety,internal security,and fire
protection is not grounds for denial or restriction of entry to any part of the facility or
site,but merely describes the commission's duty to observe appropriate rules and
regulations during an inspection.
E. The discharger is subject to administrative,civil,and criminal penalties,as
applicable,under TWC Chapter 7 for violations including but not limited to the
following:.
1. negligently or knowingly violating the federal CWA§§301,302,306,307,308,
318,or 405,or any condition or limitation implementing any sections in a
permit issued under CWA§402,or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment
program approved under CWA§§4o2(a)(3) or 402(b)(8);

of death or serious bodily injury.
F. All reports and other information requested by the executive director must be signed
by the person and in the manner required by 3o TAC§305.128 (relating to
Signatories to Reports).
G. Authorization under this general permit does not convey property or water rights of
any sort and does not grant any exclusive privilege.

violation of this permit that has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human
health or the environment.
I. The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control(and related appurtenances)that are installed or
used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.

back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems that are installed by a permittee only
when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit.
J. The permittee shall comply with the monitoring and reporting requirements in 40
CFR§122.41(j)and(1),as applicable. ,
K. Analysis must be performed using sufficiently sensitive methods for analysis that

need to obtain authorization from EPA Region 6.
Construction activities associated with a facility related to oil, gas or geothermal
resources may include the construction of a well site; treatment or storage facility;
underground hydrocarbon or natural gas storage facility; reclamation.plant; gas
processing facility; compressor station; terminal facility where crude oil is stored prior
to refining and at which refined products are stored solely for use at the facility; a
TCEQ 20022 (3/6/2018) Page 6
Instructions for Notice of Intent for TPDES General Permit TXR150000
carbon dioxide geologic storage facility; and a gathering, transmission, or distribution
pipeline that will transport crude oil or natural gas, including natural gas liquids, prior
to refining of such oil or the use of the natural gas in any manufacturing process or as
a residential or industrial fuel.
Where required by federal law, discharges of stormwater associated with construction
activities under the RRC's jurisdiction must be authorized by the EPA and the RRC, as
applicable. Activities under RRC jurisdiction include construction of a facility that,
when completed, would be associated with the exploration, development, or
production of oil or gas or geothermal resources, such as a well site; treatment or
storage facility; underground hydrocarbon or natural gas storage facility; reclamation
plant; gas processing facility; compressor station; terminal facility where crude oil is
stored prior to refining and at which refined products are stored solely for use at the
facility; a carbon dioxide geologic storage facility under the jurisdiction of the RRC;
and a gathering, transmission, or distribution pipeline that will transport crude oil or
natural gas, including natural gas liquids, prior to refining of such oil or the use of the
natural gas in any manufacturing process or as a residential or industrial fuel. The RRC
also has jurisdiction over stormwater from land disturbance associated with a site
survey that is conducted prior to construction of a facility that would be regulated by
the RRC. Under 33 U.S.C. §1342(1)(2) and §1362(24), EPA cannot require a permit for
discharges of stormwater from field activities or operations associated with{oil and
gas} exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations, or transmission
facilities, including activities necessary to prepare a site for drilling and for the
movement and placement of drilling equipment, whether or not such field activities or
operations may be considered to be construction activities unless the discharge is
contaminated by contact with any overburden, raw material, intermediate product,
finished product, byproduct, or waste product located on the site of the facility. Under
§3.8 of this title (relating to Water Protection), the RRC prohibits operators from
causing or allowing pollution of surface or subsurface water. Operators are encouraged
to implement and maintain best management practices (BMPs) to minimize discharges
of pollutants, including sediment, in stormwater during construction activities to help
ensure protection of surface water'quality during storm events.

e) Total Number of Acres Disturbed
Provide the approximate number of acres that the construction site will disturb.
Construction activities that disturb less than one acre, unless they are part of a
larger common plan that disturbs more than one acre, do not require permit
coverage. Construction activities that disturb between one and five acres, unless
they are part of a common plan that disturbs more than five acres, do not require
submission of an NOI. Therefore, the estimated area of land disturbed should not be
less than five, unless the project is part of a larger common plan that disturbs five
or more acres. Disturbed means any clearing, grading, excavating, or other similar
activities.
If you have any questions about this item, please contact the stormwater technical
staff by phone at 512-239-4671 or by email at swgp@tceq.texas.gov.

and tell how frequently that maintenance is to be carried out. You must develop this
plan in accordance with the TCEQ general permit requirements. This plan must be
developed and implemented before you complete this NOI. The SWP3 must be
available for a TCEQ investigator to review on request.
Section 6_APPLICANT aCERTIFICATION SIGNATURE
The certification must bear an original signature of a person meeting the signatory
requirements specified under 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §305.44.

The regulation that controls who may sign an NOl or similar form is 30 Texas
Administrative Code §305.44(a)(1) (see below). According to this code provision, any
corporate representative may sign an NOI or similar form so long as the authority to sign
such a document has been delegated to that person in accordance with corporate
procedures. By signing the NOI or similar form, you are certifying that such authority has
been delegated to you. The TCEQ may request documentation evidencing such authority.
If you are a municipality or other government entity:

3.01 SOURCE QUALIFICATIONS FOR BORROW MATERIAL
A Use of material encountered in excavations is acceptable, provided applicable
requirements are satisfied. If excavation material is not acceptable,provide from other
approved source.
B Identify off-site sources for materials at least 14 days ahead of intended use so that the
Engineer may obtain samples for verification testing.
C Obtain approval for each material source by the Engineer before delivery is started. If
sources previously approved do not produce uniform and satisfactory products,furnish
materials from other approved sources. Materials may be subjected to inspection or
additional verification testing after delivery. Materials which do not meet the
requirements will be rejected. Do not use material which,after approval,has become
unsuitable for use due to segregation, mixing with other materials, or by
contamination. Once a material is approved by the Engineer, a Change Order is
required to change to a different material.
D Bank sand, select fill, and random fill, if available in the project excavation, may be
obtained by selective excavation and acceptance testing. Obtain additional quantities
of these materials and other materials required to complete the Work from off-site
sources.
E The Owner does not represent or guarantee that any soil found in the excavation work
will be suitable and acceptable as backfill material.
3.02 MATERIAL HANDLING
A When material is obtained from either a commercial or non-commercial borrow pit,
open the pit to expose the vertical faces of the various strata for identification and
selection of approved material to be used. Excavate the selected material by vertical
cuts extending through the exposed strata to achieve uniformity in the product.
B Establish temporary stockpile locations for practical material handling and control,and
verification testing by the Engineer in advance of final placement. Obtain approval
from landowner for storage of backfill material on adjacent private property.
C When stockpiling material near the Project Site,use appropriate methods to eliminate
blowing of materials into adjacent areas and prevent runoff containing sediments from
entering the drainage system.
D Place material suitable for backfilling in stockpiles at a distance from the trench to
prevent slides or cave-ins. Do not place stockpiles of excavated materials on public
streets.

operation with the displacement of cuttings and slurry from the hole in potentially
unstable soils to prevent casing and settlement of the ground surface.
E Depending on the character of the soil encountered during the augering operation,
conduct operations without interruption,insofar as practical,to prevent the pipe from
seizing up in the hole before the installation is complete.
F Repair casing or sewer pipe damaged in augering operations by method acceptable to
the Engineer or remove and replace it.
3.03 AUGER PITS
A Contractor's Pipe and Casing Augering Work Plan shall identify the location, size,
depth and layout, and ground support design of all augering and observation pits, as
well as a schedule of dates that each pit is expected to be open.
B Auger pits that are excavated as a part of open-cut sewer construction shall be in
accordance with Section 02318 —Excavation and Backfill for Utilities.
C Install sheeting,lining,shoring,and bracing required for the protection of the workmen
and the public in accordance with Section 01570—Trench Safety Systems.
3.04 PIPE IN CASING
A Pipes shall be installed in augered casings in accordance with this Section, as
applicable.
B Bottom of trench adjacent to each end of casing should be graded to provide firm,
uniform, and continuous support for carrier pipe. If trench requires some backfill to
establish final trench bottom grade, backfill material should be placed in 6-inch lifts
and each layer properly compacted.
C Install casing end seals in accordance with manufactures specifications.
3.05 SPACER AND INSULATOR INSTALLATION
A Casing spacers and/or insulators should be installed in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions. Special care should be taken to ensure that all subcomponents are
correctly assembled and evenly tightened,and that no damage occurs during tightening
or carrier pipe insertion.
B Spacing of spacers or insulators should ensure that carrier pipe is adequately supported
throughout its length, particularly at ends, to offset settling and possible electrical
shorting. End spacer must be within 6 inches of end of casing pipe,regardless of size
of casing and carrier pipe or type of spacer used. Casing spacers are designed to
withstand much greater loads than can be safely applied to most coatings. Therefore,
spacing between spacers depends largely on load bearing capabilities of pipe coating
and flexibility of pipe.
07/2006 02415-6 of 7
CITY OF PEARLAND AUGERING PIPE OR
CASING FOR SEWERS
1. Spacing shall be as shown on Plans with maximum distance between spacers to
be 10 feet for pipe sizes 4 to 14 inches and 8 feet for pipe sizes 16 to 30 inches.
2. For ductile iron pipe, flanged pipe, or bell-and-spigot pipe, spacers should be
installed within one foot on each side of bell or flange and one in center of
joint when 18- to 20-foot-long joints are used.
3. If casing or carrier pipe is angled,bent, or dented, spacing should be reduced.
C Where metallic carrier pipe is to be placed in metallic casing, provide electric
insulating type spacers to ensure no contact between carrier pipe and casing.
3.06 TOLERANCES

3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 HANDLING
A. The joints shall be handled near the middle with wide web slings and spreader bars.
Rope slings also work well with straight lengths. The use of chains, end hooks or
cable slings that may scar the pipe are not permitted. The following procedures shall
be observed when handling HDPE pipe.
1. Always stack the heaviest series of pipe at the bottom.
2. Protect the pipe from sharp edges when overhanging the bed of a truck or
trailer by placing a smooth, rounded protecting strip on the edge of the bed.
•
3. The load should be anchored securely to prevent slippage.
B. Lengths of small-diameter, lightweight pipe can be unloaded manually.
C. Pipe applications shall normally be handled by:
1. Unloading the pipe from the truck in a row along the side of the installation
area and moving the fusion unit along the row of joints.
2. Stacking the pipe beside the fusion unit and trailing the pipe out after fusion,
then dragging the long length of pipe into place for installation. It is suggested
that as the pipe is fused and moved through the fusion machine, additional
joints of pipe should be placed in the moveable jaw side of the machine for
04/2014 02532W-3 of 5
CITY OF PEARLAND HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE)
SOLID WALL PIPE FOR WATER
each subsequent fusion. This prevents the hydraulic system of the machine
from having to pull the previously fused long length.
D. Dragging the pipe into place is permitted provided the pipe isn't damaged from sharp
rocks or excessive abrasion created by pulling the pipe great distances.
3.02 PIPE JOINING
A. The polyethylene pipe shall be assembled and joined at the Site using the thermal
butt-fusion method to provide a leak proof joint. Threaded or solvent-cement joints
and connections are not permitted. All equipment and procedures used shall be in
strict compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Fusing shall be
accomplished by personnel certified as fusion technicians by a manufacturer of
polyethylene pipe and/or fusing equipment.
B. The butt-fused joint shall be in true alignment and shall have uniform roll-back beads
resulting from the use of proper temperature and pressure. The joint shall be allowed
adequate cooling time before removal of pressure. When cool, all weld beads shall
then be removed from the inside surface such that the joint surfaces shall be smooth.
The fused joint shall be watertight and shall have a tensile strength equal to that of the
pipe. All joints shall be subject to acceptance by the Owner's Project Representative.
All defective joints shall be cut out and replaced at no cost to the Owner. Any section
of the pipe with a gash, blister, abrasion, nick, scar or other deleterious fault greater in
depth than 10 percent of the wall thickness, shall not be used and must be removed
from the Site. However, a defective area of the pipe may be cut out and the joint
fused in accordance with the procedures stated above. In addition, any section of pipe
having other defects such as concentrated ridges, discoloration, excessive spot
roughness,pitting, variable wall thickness or any other defect of manufacturing or
handling as determined by the Owner's Project Representative shall be discarded and
not used.
3.03 BENDING PIPE
A. HDPE may be cold-bent to a minimum radius of 40 times the pipe diameter as it is
installed, eliminating the need in many cases for elbows for slight bends. The
minimum bending radius that can be applied to the pipe without kinking varies with
the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe. Contractor shall conform to
manufacturer's recommendations. If adequate space is not available for the required
radius, a fitting of the desired angle shall be fused into the piping system to obtain the
necessary change in direction.
3.04 INSTALLATION BELOW GROUND
A. Conform to requirements of Section 02510—Water Mains.
04/2014 02532W-4 of 5
CITY OF PEARLAND HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE)
SOLID WALL PIPE FOR WATER
B. Pipe Laying:
1. When pulling pipe, either a pulling head or a suitable wraparound sleeve with
rubber protective cover shall be used to prevent the pulling cables from
damaging the pipe. The pipe shall not be pulled by the flanged end.
2. Install pipe in accordance with Section 02318 —Excavation and Backfill for
Utilities, and manufacturer's recommendations.
3.05 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Testing shall be as specified in Section 01450 - Testing Laboratory Services.
B. Hydrostatic Testing for pressure piping systems shall be performed in accordance
with ASTM F2164. Testing pressure shall not exceed 1.5 times the system design
pressure and total testing time including the time required to pressurize, stabilize,
hold test pressure, and depressurize should not exceed 8 hours. If 5 psi is lost during
testing pipeline must be re-pressurized.
C. HDPE pipe deflection shall not exceed deflection percentages identified in ASTM
F1962 or manufacturer's maximum allowable deflection, whichever is lower.
Allowable pipe deflection varies based on DR rating. The following maximum
deflection percentages can be used for the following DR ratings: DR21 —7.5 percent,
DR17—6.0 percent, DR15.5 —6.0 percent, DR13.5 —6.0 percent,DR11 —5.0
percent, DR9—4.0 percent, DR7.3 —3.0 percent. Deflection measurements can be
taken by mandrel or by measurement of inside diameter before and after backfill
operations.
D. Do not enclose or cover any Work until inspected.
3.06 CLEAN AND ADJUST
A. Remove surplus pipeline materials, tools, rubbish and temporary structures and leave
the construction site clean, to the satisfaction of the Owner's Project Representative.

2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
2.1 General
Subsurface conditions along the proposed McHard Road and detention ponds were
investigated by drilling thirty seven(37)soil borings,designated as GB-49 through GB-84 and C-1
through C-5,in general accordance with TxDOT procedures. Borings GB-49 through GB-68 were
drilled to depths ranging from 25 to 35 feet along the proposed McHard Road. The borings C-1
through C-3 were drilled to a depth of 3 feet in the side streets. Pavement coring was also performed
in the existing asphalt pavement at these locations(C-1 through C-5). Borings GB-69 through GB-
71 were drilled to a depth of 15 feet in the proposed detention pond HS-1. Borings GB-72 through
GB-78 were drilled to a depth of 20 feet in the proposed detention pond HS-2 and the borings GB-79
through GB-84 were drilled to a depth of 30 feet in the proposed detention pond CC-1. All borings
were drilled with a buggy mounted drilling rig at the approximate locations shown on Figures 2.1
through 2.6,Plan of Borings. A summary of boring information is provided in Table 1. The staking
and tie-in of soil borings (Station no., offset and ground surface elevation)were provided to us by
Freese and Nichols. The borings GB-57,GB-59,GB-65 and GB-74 could not be drilled due to wet
ground and difficulty in accessing the boring locations. Borings (GB-1 through GB-48) from
previous study were included for information only in Appendix D.
2.2 Sampling Methods
At each boring location soil samples were obtained at 5-ft intervals in granular soils, and
continuously in cohesive soils between the TxDOT Cone Penetrometer Tests. TxDOT Cone
Penetrometer Tests (Tex-132-E) were performed at approximate 5-foot intervals throughout the
depth of each boring. Results of the tests are recorded on the boring logs as the number of blows for
the first and second 6 inches of penetration at the respective test depths; Samples of cohesive soils
were obtained with a 3-inch diameter thin-walled tube sampler in general accordance with ASTM
Method D 1587. Granular soils were sampled every 5 feet with a 2-inch diameter split-barrel
sampler in general accordance with ASTM Method D`1586. Each sample was removed from the
sampler in the field by our soils technician, carefully examined, and classified according to the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Suitable portions of each sample were wrapped and
7
Geotest Engineering,Inc. Report No. 1140215001
McHard Road Extension May 19, 2017
City of Pearland, Texas
sealed in the field and transported to Geotest's laboratory. The shear strength of cohesive soil
samples was estimated in the field using a calibrated hand pocket penetrometer.
Detail descriptions of the soils encountered,together with recorded blow counts from TxDOT,
Cone Penetrometer Tests,are provided on the boring logs presented on Figures A-1 through A-37 in
Appendix A. A key to symbols and terms used on the boring logs is given on Figure A-38 in
Appendix A. The consistency (strength description) of cohesive soils is based on test data from
triaxial compression test (TAT) and TxDOT cone penetrometer data, where TAT data is not
available.
2.3 Groundwater Observations
Measurements of the depth to water were taken in the open boreholes during drilling. The
results of these observations are noted at the bottom of the boring logs presented on Figures A-1
through A-37, in Appendix A.
2.4 Borehole Completion
After taking final measurements of the depth to groundwater at each boring location,each of
the open boreholes with exception of the boring converted to piezometer, were backfilled with
cement-bentonite grout.
2.5 Piezometer Installation
During the field investigation, piezometers were installed in the open boreholes of borings
GB-70, GB-75 and GB-81. The location of the piezometer designated as GB-70P, GB-75P and
GB-81P are shown on Figures 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. The piezomter installation reports showing the,
details of the construction of the piezometers are provided on Figures A-39 through A-41 in
Appendix A.

3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
A laboratory test program was developed to measure pertinent physical and strength
characteristics of representative samples from the field exploration. Classification tests were
performed on selected samples to aid in soil classification. All geotechnical tests were performed in
accordance with TxDOT procedures and ASTM procedures where TxDOT procedures are not
available.
Undrained shear strengths of selected cohesive soil samples were measured by unconfined
compression(ASTM ID 2166)and unconsolidated-undrained(U-U)triaxial compression(Tex-118-
E)tests. Shear strengths of cohesive samples were also estimated in the field using a calibrated hand
pocket penetrometer and in the laboratory with a Torvane.
Moisture content and dry unit weight were measured for each unconfined compression and
U-U triaxial compression test sample. Moisture content measurements (Tex-103-E) were also
conducted on most samples to identify the moisture profile at each boring location. Liquid and
plastic limit tests(Tex-104-E,Tex-105-E)were performed on selected cohesive samples to measure
soil plasticity characteristics and to aid in soil classification. Sieve analysis tests(Tex-110-E)were
performed on selected samples to provide information on grain size distribution. Results of most
laboratory tests are tabulated on the boring logs presented on Figures A-1 through A-37,in Appendix
A. The laboratory tests data are also summarized in the Summary of Laboratory Test Results
presented on Figures B-1 through B-32 in Appendix B. Grain size distribution curves, based on
results of sieve analyses tests,are presented graphically on Figure B-33 through B-36 in Appendix B.
Two (2) California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests (ASTM D 1883) were conducted on a
composite sample(1 to 6 feet) of the near surface clay soils. Results of the CBR test are presented
on Figures B-37a, through B-37f in Appendix B. The curves of dry density versus CBR are
presented.on Figures B-38a and B-38b in Appendix B.
Four(4)multi-stage Consolidated-Undrained(CU)triaxial compression tests were conducted
on two undisturbed soil samples. Three stages of consolidation (with pore pressure measurements)
9

4.0 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
4.1 Site Geology
The geology of Brazoria County is characterized by two formations, the Beaumont and the
Alluvium. These formations are a part of the fluvial and marine coastal complex resulting from the
glacial cycles within Holocene/Pleistocene epoch. The lithology includes clay, silt and sand. The
McHard Road project lies within the Beaumont Formation. The clays and sands of this formation
are overconsolidated as a result of desiccation or frequent raising and lowering of the sea level and
subsequently the groundwater table. Consequently, clays of this formation have moderate to high
shear strength and relatively low compressibility. Sands of the Beaumont Formation are typically
very fine and often silty.
4.2 Geologic Faults
A Geological Phase I Fault study was performed by HVJ Associates,Inc.,a subconsultant for
Geotest for the project area. Based on the Phase I Geologic Fault Assessment,two active faults cross
the project alignment. Geologic Fault 40A crosses the project alignment near the west end and
Geologic Fault 41A crosses the project alignment near Woody Road. The Phase I Geologic Fault
Study report is presented in Appendix E.
4.3 Existing Pavement
The existing pavement as encountered in borings GB-58 and GB-60 drilled along McHard
Road consist of 1.5 to 3 inches of asphalt over 11 to 16 inches of limestone base and sand,gravel and
oyster shell mix. The existing pavement as encountered in the borings/corings C-1 through C-5
performed on the side streets consists of 2.75 to 5 inches of asphalt over 5.5 to 9 inches of
limestone, sand and shell mix. The details are given below.

5.0 GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Traffic Signal Foundations
As part of McHard Road Extension proj ect,traffic signals will be installed at the intersections
of Max Road,Roy Road,Garden Road, O'Day Road and Hatfield Road. The existing traffic signals
r at Cullen Boulevard and Mykawa Road will be modified.
5.1.1 Recommended Foundation Types. Based on the subsurface conditions revealed by
borings GB-49,GB-56,GB-58,GB-60,GB-62, GB-64,and GB-68,the traffic signals at Max Road,
Roy Road, Garden Road, O'Day Road and Hatfield Road can be supported on either cast-in-place
drilled shafts or driven prestressed precast concrete piles. Design of the traffic signal foundations
should ensure adequate axial and lateral capacities of the foundations under consideration. Capacity
curves for both drilled shafts and driven piles are presented and discussed in the following sections.
The capacity curves were developed for these borings drilled near the proposed traffic signal
foundations.
5.1.2 Minimum Embedment Requirement. We recommend that design of the shafts or piles
consider the following minimum embedment requirements:
• The shafts or piles should have a depth of embedment adequate for support of the
imposed axial and lateral loads.
• Computation of design capacities of the shafts or piles should provide for reductions
in capacities due to construction-related disturbance and shrink-swell of surficial soils
with changes in moisture.
• Shafts and piles should penetrate into the base stratum(the stratum in which the shaft
tip is placed) at least 2 times their diameter or width.

5.1.3 Axial Capacities of Drilled Shafts and Driven Piles. Allowable skin friction capacity
and point bearing capacity were computed for cast-in-place drilled shafts and driven full-
displacement piles(i.e.,prestressed precast concrete piles)for the boring locations GB-49,GB-56,
GB-58, GB-60, GB-62, GB-64 and GB-68 using TxDOT WinCore (Version 3.1) software. The
WinCore software was developed by TxDOT to compute pile capacities based on design methods
included in the TxDOT Geotechnical Manual. The program computes allowable axial capacity
based on a safety factor of at least 2.0 for skin friction and end bearing. Allowable axial capacities of
cast-in-place drilled shafts should be computed based on the sum of the allowable skin friction acting
on the side area of the shaft plus the allowable point bearing, acting on the end area of the shaft. It
should be noted that TxDOT Houston District places a limit an end bearing values of 2.0 tsf, for
shafts with diameters over 24 inches and less than or equal to 48 inches. End bearing is neglected in
the design of shafts with diameters less than,or equal to 24 inches. End bearing developed based on
TAT data and/or TCP data can be used for shafts with diameter over 48 inches. TxDOT Houston
District practice calls for computation of allowable axial capacities of driven piles based on the
accumulative allowable skin friction acting on the side area of the pile,without any contribution due
to point bearing. Values of accumulative skin friction for drilled shafts and driven full-displacement
piles are based on unit skin friction values computed from laboratory triaxial (TAT) tests for
cohesive soils, and from TxDOT cone penetrometer (TCP) tests for cohesionless soils. A soil
reduction factor(SR)of 0.7 was applied to the computed values of allowable skin friction for drilled
shaft design. The computed unit skin friction values were limited to 1.25 tsf for driven piles and
0.88 tsf for drilled shafts in accordance with TxDOT Houston District practice. In addition,the ratio
of TCP unit friction to TAT unit friction in cohesive soils was verified with reference to TxDOT
Houston District practice which is between 0.5 and 2.0. Adjustments were made accordingly to meet
the above ratio requirements.
Allowable axial capacity for cast-in-place drilled shafts, installed at the location of borings
GB-49, GB-56, GB-58,GB-60,GB-62, GB-64 and GB-68 should be computed using the curves of
accumulative static frictional resistance (in tons/ft of perimeter)presented on Figures 5.1 through
5.7, respectively, and curves of allowable unit point bearing presented on Figures 7.1 through 7.7,
respectively. The allowable point bearing for a given shaft size should be computed based on the
19
Geotest Engineering,Inc. Report No. 1140215001
McHard Road Extension May 19, 2017
City of Pearland, Texas
value of allowable unit point bearing (in TSF), at the design penetration, times the end area of the
shafts.
Thus, an equation to determine the allowable axial capacity, Qa,for the drilled shafts can be
expressed as below.
it
Qa = irdS n d-qp in tons
Where,
S is Accumulative Friction in tons per foot of perimeter of drilled shaft
qp is Point Bearing in tsf
d is Diameter of drilled shaft in feet
Allowable axial capacity for driven full-displacement(precast concrete)piles,installed at the
location of borings GB-49, GB-56, GB-58, GB-60, GB-62, GB-64 and GB-68 should be computed
using the curves of accumulative static frictional resistance (in tons/ft of perimeter) presented on
Figures 6.1 through 6.7, respectively.
Thus, an equation to determine the allowable axial capacity, Qa, for driven piles can be
expressed as below.
Qa= 4wS in tons
Where,
S is Accumulative Friction in tons per foot of perimeter of driven pile
w is Width of square driven pile in feet
Tables of numerical values of unit skin friction, computed using WinCore software, are
provided on forms titled "Soil Strength Analysis" in Appendix C, on Figures C-1 through C-7 for
drilled shafts, and on Figures C-8 through C-14 for driven piling.

The designer should account for the effects of seasonal moisture variations at traffic signal
foundation location by subtracting the accumulated skin friction at a depth of seasonal moisture
variations from the total accumulated skin friction at the design tip elevation. A 5 to 10-foot depth
may be considered as the zone of seasonal moisture variation. The final design tip elevation should
be based on a total load equivalent to the design load plus the capacity of accumulated skin friction
determined at the depth(elevation)of the seasonal moisture variations from the skin friction design
curve.
5.1.4 Group Effects. To reduce group effects it is recommended that the piles or shafts be
spaced with a minimum center-to-center distance(i.e.,based on a single row of piles or shafts)of at
least 3 times the pile width or 2.5 times the shaft diameter.
5.1.5 Settlement. Although detailed settlement analyses were not within the scope of this
study, it is believed that drilled shafts and driven piles,designed in accordance with the above
recommendations, should experience small settlements. Differential settlements, resulting from
variation in subsurface conditions and loading conditions, are also expected to be small.
5.1.6 Lateral Capacity. The lateral load capacity will depend on the ground surface
deflection,maximum bending moment,stiffness factor and soil modulus between the shafts/piles and
surrounding soils. Allowable lateral load can be developed based on allowable ground surface
deflection, soil modulus and stiffness of shaft or pile. However,maximum bending moment in the
pile or shaft will need to be verified. Lateral load-deflection analyses, using a soil-structure
interaction (p-y) model, can be used (if needed).to provide refined estimates of deflections and
bending moments along the length of the pile or shaft. The soil parameters which include LPile
program soil type, submerged unit weight, undrained cohesion/internal friction angle and£50 were
developed for the borings GB-49, GB-56, GB-58, GB-60, GB-62, GB-64 and GB-68 and are
presented in Table 2. These soil parameters can be used for LPile program input for the design of
traffic signal foundations at Max Road, Roy Road, Garden Road, O'Day Road and Hatfield Road.

5.2 Proposed Storm Sewer
Based on the information provided by Freese and Nichols, Inc., it is understood that the
proposed storm sewer will be installed by open cut method of construction except at the roadway
crossings and utility crossings where tunneling is proposed.
The following subsections provide information for the design and construction of the
proposed storm sewer and the excavations required for the proposed open cut installations and access
shafts.
5.2.1 Geotechnical Parameters. Based on the soil conditions revealed by the borings GB-49
through GB-68, geotechnical parameters were developed for the design of the storm sewer
installation. The design parameters are provided in Table 3. For design, the groundwater level
should be assumed to exist at the ground surface, since these conditions may exist after a heavy rain
, or flooding.
5.2.2 Trench Stability. The trench excavation may be shored or laid back to a stable slope
or supported by some other equivalent means used to provide safety for workers and adjacent
structures, if any. The excavating and trenching operations should be in accordance with OSHA
Standards, OSHA 2207, Subpart P, latest revision or the TxDOT Specifications.
• Excavation Shallower Than 5 Feet - Excavations that are less than 5 feet deep (critical
height)should be effectively protected when an indication of dangerous ground movement is
anticipated.
• Excavations Deeper Than 5 Feet-Excavations that are deeper than 5 feet should be sloped,
shored, sheeted,braced or laid back to a stable slope or supported by some other equivalent
means or protection such that workers are not exposed to moving ground or cave-ins. The
slopes and shoring should be in accordance with the trench safety requirements as per OSHA
Standards. The following items provide design criteria for trench stability.
22
Geotest Engineering,Inc. Report No. 1140215001
McHard Road Extension May 19, 2017
City of Pearland, Texas
(i) OSHA Soil Type. Based on the soil conditions revealed by borings drilled for this
study and assumed groundwater level at surface,OSHA soil type"C"should be used
for determination of allowable maximum slope and/or the design of shoring along the
alignment for full proposed depth of trench excavation. For shoring deeper than 20
feet(if needed),an engineering evaluation is required and deeper soil borings will be
needed.
(ii) Trench Support Earth Pressure. Based on the subsurface conditions indicated by our
field investigation and laboratory testing results, trench support earth pressure
diagrams were developed and are presented on Figures 8.1 through 8.3. These
pressure diagrams can be used for the design of temporary trench bracing. For a
trench box, a lateral earth pressure resulting from an equivalent fluid with a unit
weight of 94 pcf can be used. The effects of any surcharge loads at the ground
surface should be added to the computed lateral earth pressures. A surcharge load,q,
will typically result in a lateral load equal to 0.5 q. The above value of equivalent
_ fluid pressure is based on assumption that the groundwater level is near the ground
surface, since these conditions may exist after a heavy rain or flooding.
(iii) Bottom Stability. In braced cuts,if tight sheeting is terminated at the base of the cut,
the bottom of the excavation can become unstable. The parameters that govern the
stability of the excavation base are the soil shear strength and the differential
hydrostatic head between the groundwater level within the retained soils and the
groundwater level at the interior of the trench excavation. For cut in cohesive soils as
predominantly encountered in borings, the bottom stability can be evaluated as
outlined on Figure 9. However, in semi-cohesionless (such as sandy silt and silty
sand)or granular soils(such as silty sand),as encountered in borings GB-52,GB-55,
and GB-63 at the invert or within 3 feet below bottom of invert, the excavation
should be done after dewatering to avoid bottom stability problems.
23
Geotest Engineering,Inc. Report No. 1140215001
McHard Road Extension May 19, 2017
City of Pearland, Texas
5.2.3 Groundwater Control. Excavations for the storm sewer may encounter groundwater
seepage to varying degrees depending upon the groundwater conditions at the time of construction
and the location and depth of the trench. In cohesive soils,if groundwater is encountered then it may
be managed by collection in trench bottom sumps for pumped disposal. In granular or semi
cohesionless soils, as encountered near borings GB-52, GB-55 and GB-63 at the invert or within 3
feet below bottom of invert, dewatering such as vacuum well points for excavation depths up to 15
feet or deep well with submersible pumps for excavation depths greater than 15 feet will be required
to lower the groundwater level to at least 5 feet below the bottom of the excavation. It is
recommended that the actual groundwater conditions should be verified by the contractor at the time
of construction. It is contractor's responsibility to perform appropriate groundwater control during
construction.
5.2.4 Bedding and Backfill. The bedding and backfill for storm sewer should be in
accordance with TxDOT Standard Specification Item No. 400 "Excavation and Backfill for
Structures", Section 400.3.2 and 400.3.3.
5.2.5 Live Loads on Pipeline Due to Traffic. Loads on the pipe due to traffic should be
considered. A graph providing calculated vertical stress on pipe due to traffic loads is given on
Figure 10.
5.3 Trenchless Installation
It is understood that the proposed storm sewer will be installed by trenchless method of
construction at the existing roadway crossings and utility crossings.
5.3.1 Geotechnical Parameters. Based on the soil conditions revealed by soil borings and
laboratory test data,geotechnical design parameters were developed for cohesive soils and cohesionless
soils and are provided in Table 4. The cohesive soils include clays and lean clays,and the cohesionless
soils include fine sand w/silt,silty sand and sandy silt. For design conditions,the groundwater levels
should be assumed to exist at the ground surface, since these conditions may exist after heavy rain or
flooding.

5.3.2 Earth Pressure on Pipe and Auger Casing. The earth pressure values on pipe and auger
casing should be determined from Figure 11. Equations to calculate the tunnel liner loads are also
shown on Figure 11.
5.3.3 Influence of Tunneling on Adjacent Structure. Surface and near-surface structures near
the tunnel alignment consist primarily of private properties,city streets and public and private utilities.
Ground movement,in terms of loss of ground or ground lost,is commonly associated with soft
ground tunneling. If such ground movement is excessive,it may cause damage to the structures,roads
and services located above the tunnel. While ground movement cannot be eliminated, it can be
controlled within certain limits by the use of proper construction techniques and good quality
workmanship. These include, but are not limited to, prevention of excessive ground loss during
tunneling with the use of grouting and filling the annular space between the pipe or casing and the
surrounding soil and prevention of undue loss of fines through dewatering.
The selection and execution of tunneling methods that are best suited to anticipated ground
conditions along the proposed tunnel are, in fact, the contractor's primary contribution to successful
completion of the proposed tunnel. On review of the boring logs,the ground conditions for tunneling
(excavation face)will be primarily through cohesive soils and interface of cohesive and cohesionless
soils. The cohesive soils are stiff to very stiff and the ground in this area may be expected to behave as
firm to raveling ground near the invert. Cohesionless soils consisting of medium dense to dense silty
sand and sandy silt were encountered near or within 3 feet of the proposed invert depths of trenchless
installation in borings GB-52, GB-55 and GB-63. The ground at these locations may be expected to
behave raveling to running ground near the invert depths. Hence,extra precautions will be required at
these locations during the trenchless installation to prevent any excessive ground loss due to the
disturbance and removal of the cohesionless soils. Close monitoring of ground movement should be
carried out during the trenchless installation.
At locations near borings GB-52, GB-55 and GB-63 the ground conditions for trenchless
operation (excavation face) will be through cohesive soil interface with cohesionless soils. In such
conditions,dewatering will be required. However due to spacing of borings,soil conditions other than
those encountered in borings could exist.

The proposed tunnel is parallel with or cross beneath utility lines. The largest potential
problems from utilities may result from:
• Leaking water pipes
• Gas pipe breakage leading to a potential explosion
• Breakage of storm or sanitary sewers
In general,it is the contractor's responsibility to investigate these and other possible third party
interactions along the proposed tunnel alignment and to accommodate all of these interactions with the
use of good construction methods.
5.3.4 Groundwater Control. Groundwater control should be followed in accordance with the
section 5.2.3 of this report.
5.4 Structures
The structures for the McHard Road extension will include storm sewer manholes. The
depth of the proposed manholes range from 4 feet to 12 feet. The project also includes construction
of outfall structure at detention pond HS-1, 4'x2' RC Box in detention pond HS-2 and 6'x4' RC
Boxes in detention pond CC-1.
5.4.1 Foundation Conditions. Based on the soil conditions revealed by borings GB-49
through GB-68 the manhole bases placed at depths ranging from 4 to 12 feet will be in soft to very
stiff clay, sandy clay and silty clay. Based on the soil conditions encountered in borings GB-69
through GB-84, the RC Boxes in detention ponds HS-1, HS-2 and CC-1 placed at depths ranging
from 5 to 16 feet will be in medium stiff to stiff clay and/or medium dense silty sand.
5.4.2.Foundation Design Recommendations. The bases of structures placed at approximate
depths ranging from 4 to 16 feet at the various locations may be proportioned for an allowable(net)
bearing pressure as presented in the table below.

• Bottom Stability. Bottom stability is described earlier in Section 5.2.2 under
Excavation Stability.
• Lateral Earth Pressure. The pressure diagrams presented on Figures 8.1
through 8.3 can be used for the design of braced excavation. The lateral earth
pressure diagram presented on Figures 12.1 through 12.3 are applicable for the
design of the permanent walls.
• Hydrostatic Uplift Resistance. Structures extending below the groundwater
level should be designed to resist uplift pressure resulting from excess
piezometric head. Design uplift pressures should be computed based on the
assumption that the water table is at ground surface. To resist the hydrostatic
uplift at the bottom of the structure,one of the following sources of resistance
can be utilized in each of the designs.
a. Dead weight of structure,
b. Weight of soil above base extensions plus weight of structure, or
c. Soil-wall friction plus dead weight of structure.
The uplift force and resistance to uplift should be computed as detailed on Figure 13.
In determining the configuration and dimensions of the structure using one of the approaches
presented on Figure 13, the following factors of safety are recommended.
a. Dead weight of concrete structure, Sn = 1.10,
b. Weight of soil (backfill) above base extension, Sf2= 1.5, and
c. Soil-wall friction, Sf3 =3.0.
Friction resistance should be discounted for the upper 5 feet, since this zone is affected by
seasonal moisture changes.

5.4.3 Structure Backfill.Excavations for the proposed structures should be backfilled
in accordance with the TxDOT Specification Item 400.
5.4.4 Protection of Below Grade Structures. The design of the proper means for
protection of below grade structures will depend upon the potential of the aggressivity or
corrosivity of soil and groundwater properties. The aggressivity testing was not within the
scope of this study. The design of the protection of below grade structures is beyond the
scope of services for the study.
5.4.5 Groundwater Control During Construction. Excavations may encounter
groundwater seepage to varying degrees depending upon groundwater conditions at the time
of construction and the location and depth of excavation. The groundwater control should be
followed according to the Section 5.2.3 of this report.
5.5 Detention Ponds
The project also includes construction of three detention ponds(HS-1,HS-2 and CC-1).
The details of each detention pond are given below.
• The detention pond HS-1 is located near the intersection of proposed McHard Road and
O'Day Road. The proposed pond is about 5 feet deep and will have a side slope of
4(H):1(V). The detention pond will include construction of an outfall structure at the
southwest corner of the pond.
• The detention pond HS-2 is located along the proposed McHard Road between the
intersections of Hatfield Road and Woody Road. The proposed pond is about 9 to 10 feet
deep and will have a side slope of 4(H):1(V). The detention pond will include
construction of a 121 if of 4'x2'RC Box on the northwest corner and a 42 inch RCP on the
southeast side. The 100-year flood elevation is at El. 46.0 feet.
• The detention pond CC-1,is offsite and will be constructed as two interconnecting ponds.
Both ponds will be approximately 15 feet deep and will have a side slope of 4(H):1(V).
There are several 24 to 30-inch HDPE inlets into the pond and a 6'x4'RCB connecting the
29,

McHard Road Extension May 19, 2017
City of Pearland, Texas
two ponds. There will also be a 6'x4'RCB outlet at the northwest corner of the proposed
pond. The 100-year flood elevation is at El. 47 feet.
5.5.1 Slope Stability Analyses. Slope stability analyses were performed for the proposed
detention ponds HS-2 and CC-1. Since the detention pond HS-1 is about 5 feet deep, no slope
stability analyses was performed for this pond. The analyses were performed using GSTABLE7 and
the Modified Bishop Method of Analyses. Analyses conditions consisted of End of Construction,
Rapid Drawdown and Long Term cases. The TxDOT minimum required factors of safety for short
term(end of construction and rapid drawdown)and long term condition are 1.3 and 1.5,respectively.
5.5.2 Method of Analyses. Experience indicates that the failure of a slope occurs by slippage
along a surface of nearly circular cross section. Sufficiently accurate estimates of the stability of
such slopes can be made if the surface of sliding is assumed to be circular. Several methods of slope
stability analysis are available. The most commonly used method is known as the Bishop Method.
For this study, the slope stability analyses were conducted using a computer program. The
calculation of the factor of safety against instability was performed using the Modified Bishop
Method. Slope stability analyses were performed on critical sections of the proposed detention pond
by computer program GSTABLE7 with the built-in critical section search algorithm.
5.5.3 Soil Parameters and Water Level. To evaluate the potential stability of a slope, or to
assess the effectiveness of a slope, requires the physical properties of the geological material
involved to be measured. Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in borings two (2) soil
cases were evaluated for each pond. The soil parameters are derived from empirical correlation
between the soil index properties as well as consolidated undrained triaxial results and shear strength
characteristics of corresponding types of soil. Slope stability analyses were performed for the End of
Construction,Rapid Drawdown and Long Term design cases for the proposed earthen bank slope of
4(H):1(V). The soil parameters used for the slope stability analyses are presented in Tables 5.1
through 5.4
• End of Construction: The rapid drawdown case models the condition where high
floodwater saturates and piezometrically"loads"the slope and then quickly recedes leaving
30
Geotest Engineering,Inc. Report No. 1140215001
McHard Road Extension May 19, 2017
City ofPearland, Texas
a large unbalanced piezometric head in the bank slope. This unbalanced force increases the
shear stresses in the soils behind the slope. For this analysis, the 100-year flood level
within each pond was considered to be near the pond top of the bank and a completely
saturated slope from the bottom of each pond to near the top of the pond slope was
considered for analyses. The water level within each pond was assumed to instantaneously
drop from the 100-year flood level to the bottom of pond. For granular/cohesionless soils,
the angle of internal friction is based on the Standard Penetration test(SPT)data obtained
in the field. For cohesive soil, unconsolidated undrained shear strength parameters were
used for the analyses. The selected unconsolidated undrained shear strength parameters
were based on a lower bound value of the undrained shear strength profile developed from
the laboratory unconfined compression tests, unconsolidated-undrained triaxial
compression tests, torvanes, and pocket penetrometers.
• Rapid Drawdown: The rapid drawdown case models the condition where high floodwater
saturates and piezometrically "loads" the slope and then quickly recedes leaving a large
unbalanced piezometric head in the bank slope. This unbalanced force increases the shear
stresses in the soils behind the slope. For this analysis,the 100-year flood level within the
pond was considered to be near the pond top of the bank and a completely saturated slope
from the bottom of pond to near the top of the pond slope was considered for analyses.
The water level within the pond was assumed to instantaneously drop from the 100-year
flood level to the bottom of pond.
For earthen slopes, a most critical rapid drawdown case occurs when shrinkage cracks
develop all through the slope soils due to the drying of the soil, the shrinkage cracks are
filled with water as the water level rises in the pond and the slopes become"saturated"and
then the water level in the pond drops rapidly. This case is most common in highly
plasticity clay. As shrinkage cracks develop in the high plasticity clay after long periods of
exposure to environmental conditions(wetting-drying, swelling-shrinking, etc.),the high
plasticity clay shear strength degrades to weathered effective stress shear strength.
Experience with shallow slope failure associated with matric suction loss and strength
degradation suggests that realistic crack depths will vary between 3 and 8 feet with an
31

average of about 6 feet. Thus, based on the depth of assumed seasonal moisture variation
zone, a crack depth of 7 feet was used for developing the weathered soil parameters. In
order to incorporate the effects of weathering on the high plasticity'clay shear strength,we
used a weathered effective stress angle of internal friction WW) and weathered effective
stress cohesion(C'W)for the rapid drawdown condition analyses. The(I)'W was assumed to
be the residual secant friction angle of the soil and the C'W was assumed to be the
mobilized cohesion intercept of the soil.
• Long-Term: The long term design case represents steady state piezometric and stress
conditions. When a slope is excavated, altered stress conditions create pore pressure
changes within the slope and the undrained strength of the bank soils is mobilized. With
time, the soil pore pressures adjust to the imposed stress and piezometric conditions and
the bank soils rely on their available strength for long term stability. In this analysis, the
static water level within the embankment soils and within the pond was assumed to be the
water level measured in the borings.
For earthen slopes, the shear strength of the upper 7 feet of the slope soils can degrade
because of the weathering or wetting and drying and shrinking/swelling of these soils
(especially highly plastic clays). Weathered effective stress shear strength parameters
consisting of a weathered effective stress angle of internal friction (h) and a weathered
effective stress cohesion (C'W), as described in the previous section rapid drawdown, were
used to analyze the long term condition in order to account for the degradation of the slope
soil shear strength due to weathering.
5.5.4 Loading Conditions. A surcharge load(construction or maintenance equipment)of 250
psf was assumed at the top of the bank and was considered for the short term(end of construction),
rapid drawdown and long term conditions.
5.5.5 Factors of Safety. Based on the soil parameters and water level conditions discussed
previously, slope stability analyses were performed for proposed 4(H):1(V)earthen bank slope for -
detention ponds HS-2 and CC-1. The results of these analyses are presented on Figures 14.1 through

Based on the above table of factor of safety for soil case 2, the proposed section of
4(H):1(V) slope does not meet the required factor of safety for rapid drawdown condition.
Additional analyses was performed for this case by placing a 2-foot thick clay liner at the side
slopes and bottom of the proposed detention pond. The slope stability analyses results are
presented on Figures 14.13 through 14.15 and in the table below.

As can be seen from the above table, the proposed detention pond with a 4(H):1(V) slope
with a 2-foot clay liner will meet the minimum required factors of safety.
5.5.6 Conclusions and Recommendations. A minimum factor of safety of 1.3 is considered
acceptable for short term condition(end of construction and rapid drawdown conditions),while a
minimum factor of safety of 1.5 is considered acceptable for long term condition. Based on the slope
stability analyses results,the proposed detention ponds HS-2 and CC-1 with a 4(H):1(V)side slope
will be stable.

The side slopes in the offsite detention ponds HS-2 and CC-1 may be improved by lining
the slope bottom and along the slope (where sand and silt layers are encountered)with a 24-
inch thick clay liner for 4(H):1(V) slope inclination. Further,the shallow pond HS-1 may be
improved by lining the slope bottom and along the slope (where sand and silt layers are
encountered) with a 24-inch thick clay liner for 4(H):1(V) slope inclination. Approximate
horizontal limits of the cohesionless soils encountered in detention ponds are presented on Figures

The borrow material (described earlier) at this site can be used as a backfill material for
trenches and due to its swelling and shrinkage potential, it is least suitable as backfill for building
pads or behind retaining walls.
5.5.9 Slope Protection and Erosion Control. It is expected that pond side slope sloughing
and erosion will occur in areas where silty sand, sandy silt and silt were encountered near borings
GB-70 in detention pond HS-1 borings GB-72 and GB-75 in detention pond HS-2 and in borings
GB-79,GB-80,GB-82,GB-83 and GB-84 in detention pond CC-1. To minimize the sloughing and
erosion,riprap with a woven geosynthetic beneath the riprap or a clay lining can be used to protect
the slopes along these cohesionless soil zones as given below.

5.6 Pavement Structure Design
It is understood that McHard Road extension will be a 4-lane boulevard with a rigid
pavement from Cullen Boulevard to Mykawa Road. The project also includes construction of small
section of pavement at the intersections of side streets at Adamo Lane,Stone Road,Max Road,Roy
Road,Garden Road,O'Day Road,Hatfield Road,and Woody Road. The pavement design presented
below was developed in accordance with "AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures," r
1993 Edition.
5.6.1 Design Parameters
Subgrade Soil Properties. Based on the laboratory test data obtained from the natural
subgrade soils, the effective roadbed soil resilient modulus (MR) is estimated to be
about 2,792 psi. Based on an estimated resilient modulus of the 8-inch lime-
stabilized subgrade,the effective modulus of subgrade reaction(k)is estimated to be
about 62 pci. The effective modulus of subgrade reaction(k),with a loss of support

value of 1, was estimated to be about 110 pci for a composite base/subbase course
consisting of 1-inch bond breaker(ASB)over 6-inch cement stabilized base(CTB)
and over 8-inch lime stabilized subgrade.
Traffic Data. A traffic data of approximately 10.6 x 106 ESAL(W18)over a 30 year
design period was utilized for the pavement design for McHard Road extension. This
traffic volume is based on a total of 11,633 vehicles per day with 3%truck traffic and
a growth rate of 2% as provided by Freese and Nichols, Inc. and also meeting the
minimum requirements for major thoroughfare road per City of Pearland Standards.
A traffic data of approximately 0.33 x 106 ESAL(W18)over a 10 year design period
was utilized of the pavement design for the side streets. This traffic volume is based
on a total of 1,000 vehicles per day with 2%percent busses and 2%truck traffic with
a growth rate of 2%.

5.6.3 Preparation of Pavement Subgrade
Based on the field and laboratory test data,the subgrade soils at this site consist of clay and
sandy clay of high plasticity. These soils should be stabilized with approximately 6 percent lime to a
depth of at least 8 inches. This corresponds to approximately 40 pounds of hydrated lime per square

yard based upon a soil dry unit weight of 110 pcf. The actual percentage of lime must be confirmed
by laboratory tests at the time of construction.
Subgrade preparation for the proposed pavement should consist of stripping,proof-rolling,
and stabilization. The following procedures for subgrade preparation are recommended:
1. Strip the surficial soils to a suitable depth to remove all surficial vegetation and
achieve grade. In isolated areas where soft, compressible, or very loose soils are
encountered, additional stripping may be required. Stripping should extend to a
minimum of 2 feet beyond the edge of the proposed pavement.
2. After stripping, the exposed surface should be proof-rolled with a minimum of 3
passes of a 30-ton pneumatic-tired roller or a partially loaded truck utilizing a tire
pressure of approximately 90 psi. If rutting develops, the tire pressure should be
reduced. The purpose of the proof-rolling operation is to identify any underlying
zones or pockets of soft soils so these weak materials can be removed and replaced.
3. Lime stabilization of clay and sandy clay subgrade should be performed in
accordance with TxDOT Standard Specification Item No. 260.

6.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Drilled Shaft Foundation Installation
Drilled shaft construction should follow TxDOT Standard Specifications for Construction
and Maintenance of Highways, Streets, and Bridges,2004,Item 416. Due to the presence of water
bearing cohesionless soils encountered at the site,it is anticipated that shaft installation will require
the use of slurry displacement methods,and possible surface casing. The surface casing is temporary
and shall be retrieved as outlined in TxDot Standard Specifications. If structural design calls for
shaft diameters in excess of 60 inches to terminate in sand, we recommend a more restrictive
construction specification that limits slurry sand content to four(4)percent.
6.2 Driven Pile Foundation Installation
Piling should be installed in accordance with TxDOT Standard Specifications for
Construction and Maintenance of Highways, Streets and Bridges, 2004, Items 404 and 409. The
allowable skin friction curves,presented on Figures 6.1 through 6.7,were based on the assumption
that the piles will be installed by driving.
6.3 Groundwater Control
Excavations for the water,sanitary sewer and storm sewer lines may encounter groundwater
seepage to varying degrees depending upon the groundwater conditions at the time of construction
and the location and depth of the trench. In cohesive soils,if groundwater is encountered then it may
be managed by collection in trench bottom sumps for pumped disposal. In granular or semi
cohesionless soils, as encountered near borings GB-52, GB-55 and GB-63 at the invert or within 3
feet below bottom of invert, dewatering such as vacuum well points for excavation depths up to 15
feet or deep well with submersible pumps for excavation depths greater than 15 feet will be required
to lower the groundwater level to at least 5 feet below the bottom of the excavation. It is
recommended that the actual groundwater conditions should be verified by the contractor at the time
of construction. It is contractor's responsibility to perform appropriate groundwater control during
construction.

7.0 PROVISIONS
The subsurface conditions and design information contained in this report are based on the
test borings made at the time of drilling at specific locations. Some variations in soil conditions may
exist between test borings. Should any subsurface conditions other than those described in our
boring logs be encountered,Geotest should immediately be notified so that further investigation and
supplemental recommendations can be provided. The depth to the groundwater level may vary with
changes in environmental conditions such as frequency and magnitude of rainfall, as well as area
construction activities.
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based, in part,upon the data
obtained from subsurface explorations made at the time test borings were drilled at specific
locations. The stratification lines on the boring logs represent approximate boundaries between soil
types. Actual transitions between soil types may be more gradual than depicted.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Freese and Nichols, Inc., City of
Pearland,and TxDOT,specifically for the design of the McHard Road Extension project in Pearland,
Texas.

err EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HVJ Associates, Inc. has completed a Phase I Geologic Fault Assessment for the proposed McHard
Road Extension from Cullen Blvd. to Mykawa Road. The project will include installation of storm
sewer, new pavement, traffic signals and asphalt widening at major intersections (referred to as the
Subject Project Alignment in this report) in Pearland,Texas (see Plates 1 and 2- Site Vicinity and
Project Location Map for the Subject Project Alignment).
Our services included a review of available published and unpublished literature on faulting in the
area and a site reconnaissance. The Subject Project Alignment is approximately 3.44 miles long and
is partially developed with commercial and single-family residential structures. Access to the Subject
Project Alignment was limited by fencing from private properties. The available information for this
project and the on-site reconnaissance conducted during June 2016 are summarized below:
• The project area appears to be near an area south of Houston with well documented fault
systems with surface expressions. Two faults have been identified in the geologic literature
near the Subject Project Alignment near the intersection of Woody Road and between Stone
Road and Max Road. These down to the northwest, southwest to northeast trending
Geologic Faults are radial to the Mykawa Oil Field salt dome area that have been identified
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
• Geologic Fault 40A is mapped crossing several streets north of the Subject Project
Alignment; extends to the southwest to the area just north of the Subject Project Alignment
and possibly crosses the Subject Project Alignment.
• Geologic Fault 41A may cross the Subject Project Alignment near the intersection of Woody
%or Road.
• Analysis of the 1944, 1975 and 1996 vertical aerial photographs revealed faint linear features
or lineament which may be indicative of the documented geologic faults crossing near the
west end and east end of the Subject Project Alignment. Development in the project area
makes resolution of this feature difficult in later photographs.
• Examination of current and historical topographic maps revealed no topographic features
and/or stream and drainage patterns that could be related to faulting.
• Cracked paving was observed along Woody Road near the Subject Project Alignment and
two scraps were observed on both side of Max Road near the intersection of Martin Lane,
northeast from the Subject Project Alignment near the west end. The observed cracked
paving and scarps are probably related to the documented Fault 40A and Fault 41A in the
area and could impact the Subject Project Alignment. No obvious building damage
indicating recent fault movement was observed during the field reconnaissance near the
location of Geologic Faults 40A and 41A.
Based on the information obtained in this study, the potential for active surface faulting in the
Subject Project Alignment should be considered high. Geologic Fault 40A is mapped terminating
near the Subject Project Alignment on the west end and three aerial photographs showed it crosses
the Subject Project Alignment. This fault was not observed crossing the Subject Project Alignment
in the field. Geologic Fault 41A which is mapped near the east end of the Subject Project
Alignment near the intersection of Woody Road was observed on one aerial photograph and in the
field. We estimate that the faults extend under the Subject Project Alignment area at an angle of
approximately 75° (from the horizontal). This dip is typical for faults in the Houston Metropolitan
area and is a rough estimate based on invasive fault studies conducted by HVJ Associates in the
general project area and from other sources. No faults other than the fault mentioned above were •vri{
observed and/or documented in the literature on or near the Subject Project Alignment.
Faults are not always associated with lineaments. Thus in the absence of definitely recognizable
fault scarps or fault-related damage,they may not be identifiable by visual inspection alone.
Additionally,vegetative cover and uneven topography can obscure the presence of a fault, especially
if it is slow moving or currently inactive. Predicting future fault activity cannot be done with
certainty due to the number of variables involved. Dormant or very slow moving faults can be,
respectively,reactivated or accelerated due to a number of reasons, including groundwater
withdrawals and petroleum production.
Based on available information, we cannot rule out fault activity impacting the Subject Project
Alignment. We recommend that fault protective measures be designed based on a 50 year Design
• Criteria Movement of 11 inches vertically within a hazard band extending 300 feet from either side
of the faults. Near the west end of the Subject Project Alignment,the portion of the project
potentially affected is from about Station 43+00 to Station 49+00 along the Subject Project
Alignment between Stone Road and Max Road. Geologic Fault 40A is estimated to cross the
Subject Project Alignment at about Station 46+00. Near the east end of the Subject Project
Alignment, the portions of the project potentially affected are from about Station 156+60 to Station
162+60 along the Subject Project Alignment near Woody Road and about Station 6+10 to Station
10+10 along Woody Road. Geologic Fault 41A is estimated to cross the Subject Project Alignment
at about Station 159+60. These hazard bands might be reduced or eliminated if Phase II Geologic
Fault Assessment study is conducted.
We recommend that, during construction planning, consideration be given to the proximity of the
fault to the project arca. Construction should take into account of the potential for fault movement.
It should be noted that movement rates are not consistent along the fault and that the rate goes to
zero at either end. Pavement crossing the fault locations will experience horizontal and vertical
movements. These movements will cause cracking and accelerated deterioration of the pavement
structure due to water infiltration. To the extent possible, the area of pavement within the fault
hazard zones of influence should be minimized. Where pavements must cross the fault, the
pavement section recommended for heavy truck loads should be used near the fault trace.
Maintenance budgets should include allowance for replacement of slabs near the fault much more
frequently than similar pavements away from the fault. Subsurface utilities crossing the faults will
experience vertical and horizontal movements. These movements will cause cracking of pipes and
change the invert grades in the vicinity of the faults with time. Drainage in the vicinity of the faults
will be impacted by fault movement. Over time the site grades will change near the fault to create
an apparent depression that will not drain properly.
Two design approaches can be taken for design of buried utilities crossing a fault line. Limited
measures to protect the utility can be taken and the utility can be designed to be easily serviced when
a break occurs. As an alternative,the section of the utility that is located within the fault zone can
be designed to accommodate the projected fault movement without damage. We recommend this
approach due to the relatively high impact of a break,unless a Phase II Geologic Fault Assessment
study is performed along the alignment to confirm that the faults are not present.
One approach to solving the deflection issues is to use jointed pipe within the fault zone that is
capable of sustaining the rotation and extension that may occur. We recommend that valves be
installed in the pipe near but outside the fault zone in order that the portion of the line within the
fault zone can be easily isolated for repair in the event of a break.
This executive summary does not fully summarize our findings and opinions. Those findings and
opinions are related through the full report only.
1. INTRODUCTIO
v
1.1 Project Objective
HVJ Associates, Inc. was contracted by GEOTEST Engineering, Inc. (GEOTEST) to perform a
Phase 1 Geologic Fault Assessment for the proposed McHard Road from Cullen Blvd. to Mykawa
Road. The project will include installation of storm sewer, new pavement, traffic signals and asphalt
widening at major intersections (referred to as the Subject Project Alignment in this report) in
Houston,Texas. Published geologic studies have identified two active geologic faults trending
through the Subject Project Alignment. These faults are radial to the Mykawa Oil Field Salt Dome
and cross the Subject Project Alignment area near its west and east ends. Access to the project area
was limited by fencing from private properties. The objective of this study was to identify active
faulting along the Subject Project Alignment based on available data and a site reconnaissance and
to determine if faulting hazards exist that could affect planned development.
1.2 Project Scope
The scope of services for this study were performed in general accordance to City of Houston,
Depatunent of Public Works &Engineering Infrastructure Design Manual Chapter 11
"Geotechnical and Environmental Requirements" Section 11.09 Fault Assessment. The following
tasks were performed:
1. A search was conducted of available published and unpublished literature on geologic
faulting to point out areas of known fault activity and assist in locating direct site-specific
evidence. Literature reviewed included publications of the U.S. Geological Survey,
Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies,
and the Houston Geological Society.
%se 2. A review of the results of previous fault studies,performed by HVJ Associates,in
adjacent areas was conducted and relevant information from those studies was
considered for this study.
3. A review of a series of black and white and colored vertical aerial photographs and both
recent and historic U.S.G.S. topographic maps was conducted to identify features that
may indicate the presence of faulting.
4. A physical site and area reconnaissance was performed to identify and locate features
that indicate the presence of faulting. All evidence derived from the literature,photo
and map reviews was evaluated in the field and used to locate the position of the ground
profiles.
5. This report was prepared summarizing our findings, conclusions and recommendations.
1.3 Basis of Report
Although this study has been a reasonably thorough attempt to identify faulting in the vicinity of
and on the Subject Project Alignment, there is a possibility that existing faults may have escaped
detection due to the inherent limitations of this or similar studies or the inaccuracy of published and
unpublished data. If faults are present, the surface evidence may not be well developed or may be
obscured by erosion, soil and vegetation cover, and/or new construction.
HVJ Associates reserves the right to alter our conclusions and recommendations based on our
review of any information obtained after the date of this report. The data obtained during the
course of this Assessment and this report is for the sole and exclusive use of GEOTEST. HVJ
Associates, Inc. will hold all project data,papers,correspondences and reports pertaining to this
study confidential to the extent allowed by law.

2. PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION
The Subject Project Alignment is approximately 3.44 miles long and is partially developed with
mixed residential and commercial area in Pearland,Texas. There are residential structures
along/near the Subject Project Alignment.
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 Geologic Setting
A review of the Bureau of Economic Geology 1992 Geologic Atlas of Texas, Houston Sheet
indicates that the uppermost geologic formation underlying the Subject Project Alignment is the
Pleistocene Beaumont Formation (map symbol Qb). This formation was deposited on land near sea
level in flat river deltas and in inter-delta regions. Soil deposition occurred in fresh water streams
and in flood plains (as back-water marsh and natural levees). The courses of major streams and -+✓
deltaic tributaries changed frequently during the period of deposition,generating within the
Beaumont clay a complex stratification of sand,silt and clay deposits. Frequently, stream courses
were diverted significant distances from a given point in a backwater marsh, and the water overlying
the soil would evaporate since it was cut off from a drainage path. Such water,which would be
highly alkaline,would precipitate large nodules of calcium carbonate (calcareous nodules)
throughout the surface of evaporation. With the coming of the Second Wisconsin Ice Age, the
nearby sea withdrew,leaving the formation several hundred feet above sea level and permitting the
soil to desiccate. The process of desiccation compressed the clays in the formation such that they
became significantly overconsolidated to a large depth. In addition to pre-consolidating the soil, the
process of desiccation, together with the later rewetting,produced a network of fissures and
slickensides that are now closed but which represent potential planes of weakness in the soil. The
formation weathers to a fairly flat and featureless surface except for numerous rounded shallow
depressions and pimple mounds.
Two down to the northwest, southwest to northeast trending geologic faults transect the Subject
Project Alignment near its west and east ends. These faults are radial to the Mykawa Oil Field salt
dome which is located approximately 1 mi. north from the east end of the Subject Project
Alignment. In their"Map Showing Surface Faults in the Southeast Houston Metropolitan Area,
Texas" (1978) prepared in conjunction with NASA, E.R. Verbeek and U.S. Clanton label these
faults as Geologic Faults 40A and 41A mapped near the west and east ends of the Subject Project
Alignment, respectively. Geologic Fault 40A terminates near the Subject Project Alignment on the
west end and Geologic Fault 41A crosses the Subject Project Alignment near Woody Road (See
Plate 4-Project Area Fault Location Map).
2
V 3.2 Nature of Faulting
In the Gulf Coast region of Texas over 200 faults are known or suspected to be active with an
aggregate length of approximately 370 miles. Many of these faults are located in the Greater
Houston-Galveston area subsidence bowl. Although the existence of most of these faults have been
reported in the literature, only 100,with an aggregate length of approximately 140 miles have been
mapped at scales suitable for general use. These faults extend offshore several hundred miles and
inland north of the Conroe area. Evidence of fault activity includes laterally persistent abrupt
changes in the elevation of the ground surface (scarps) where the slope of the land on either side of
the fault scarp is similar. Fault scarps can produce linear features (lineaments) on aerial photographs
and topographic maps,linear patterns of vegetation that are primarily due to the ponding of water
on the downthrown side of the fault, and damage to pavement and other structures. Evidence of
active faulting in undeveloped areas may be obscured due to dense vegetation cover such as woods
and underbrush.
Many faults are classified as growth (down-to-the-coast) faults wherein the dip angle of the fault
near the ground surface is very high,averaging 75 degrees. These faults may have been active for a
long period of time. As their name implies,growth faults are active during sedimentation,and
consequently, subsurface features include increased thickness of geologic units on the downthrown
side and increased displacement of these units with depth adjacent to the fault. Another type of
fault found along the Gulf Coast is often associated with growth faults. This faults generally parallel
growth faults and have a fault-plane dip that is up-to-the coast. Because of their opposite dip and
close association with growth faults, these faults are known as antithetic faults. Growth faults and
their antithetic faults have a strike or orientation that generally parallels the coast. Movement rates of
growth and antithetic faults are slow and generally range from 0.1 in. to slightly more than 1.0 in. per
year. Horizontal movements are extensional and depend upon the dip of the fault,generally being
about one-fourth to one-half the vertical movement. This surface movements generally occur in a
\r band of significant width which is likely to be different for each fault and to vary along the length of
a particular fault. Band widths of 30 to 50 ft. are common,but wider or narrower bands are also
found. In general, fault movement rates may be episodic for a specific fault and an extended period
of time may pass between movement periods. Fault movement and fault reactivation has been
attributed to fluid withdrawals from pumping of groundwater and oil and gas production, however
the predominant affect of this fluid pumping has been local and regional ground subsidence. Fault
movement and subsidence rates are documented in Houston where older structures or roadways can
display damage.
Other types of faults found along the Gulf Coast are those associated with salt domes. Faults
immediate to or overlying salt domes may have surface expressions that tend to be shorter in length
and may form either an irregular radial or offset pattern around the salt dome. Away from the dome
tangential faults may be present. Unlike growth faults, the orientation of dome-related faults does
not follow a general orientation, that is, they can have strikes that are randomly oriented. Many
faults mapped in the subsurface are inactive and do not extend to the surface.
3.3 Indications of Faulting
Evidence of faulting at the surface is not always readily identifiable and can also be falsely inferred.
Topographic features such as escarpments associated with river terraces may resemble a fault scarp.
However,in many cases these features cannot be traced laterally for any substantial distance, or the
relative direction of movement observed might change significantly which would indicate the feature
is not related to active faulting. Normal deterioration on existing buildings and other structures may
produce damage that may resemble damage associated with active faulting. Other sources of linears
that can erroneously suggest faulting include clearings made for seismic surveys during oil
exploration, fence lines, stratigraphic contacts, or drainage patterns. In most cases, the observed
linears on aerial photographs are related to changes in vegetation, while on topographic maps they
are related to changes in slope and/or drainage patterns.
3
Though the existence of river terraces and other linear natural topographic features does not
necessarily indicate the presence of a fault, there are times wherein fault scalps are coincidentwith
and are the progenitors of these features. Additionally, there are instances where the fault may be
offset from such a topographic feature yet nevertheless is the cause of its existence and the control
on its orientation.
In undeveloped terrains covered by dense forest and underbrush and possessing varied topographic
relief, the visual, onsite identification of fault scarps can be difficult. Lineaments that could be
associated with faulting are likely to be masked by the heavy overgrowth. In such environments,
several lines of boreholes across the study area may be needed to supplement the aerial
photograph/topographic map analysis and field reconnaissance. Electric log data obtained from
these boreholes can provide an idea of subsurface conditions and the likelihood of fault existence.
3.4 Literature Review
We reviewed available literature on faults in the area which include USGS publications, university
research papers and professional society publications. Although faults exist, seismic activity is not a
concern based on the site's location in Seismic Zone 0 of the Uniform Building Code.
Many of the faults in the Texas Gulf Coast region are considered growth (down-to-the-coast) faults
in which the dip angle of the fault near the ground surface averages 75 degrees. Since growth faults
are active during sedimentation, subsurface features include increased thickness of geologic units on
the downthrown side, and increasing displacement of these units with depth adjacent to the fault.
Movement rates of these faults range from less than 0.1 to over 1.0 inches per year. Plate 3 shows
the regional trend of some of these faults based on our literature review.
United States Geological Survey Open File Report 78-797 "Map Showing Surface Faults in the
Southeast Houston Metropolitan Area,Texas"by E.R. Verbeek and U.S. Clanton (1978) shows 8.161
southwest to northeast trending down to the northwest Geologic Faults 40A and 41A. These faults
are radial to the old Mykawa Oil Field. The U.S.G.S. map which shows Geologic Fault 40A
terminating near the Subject Project Alignment and Geologic Fault 41A crossing the Subject Project
Alignment. See Plate 4-Project Area Fault Location Map.
The most current research for the Subject Project Alignment area was found in a paper by Khan et
al, "Case History a Geophysical Investigation of the Active Hockley Fault System near Houston,
Texas, GEOPHYSICS,Vol. 78, No. 4(July-August 2013). Using geophysical data, they examined
the fault systems in the Houston Metropolitan Area with emphasis on the Hockley Fault System in
northwest Harris County. They used airborne LiDAR to identify fault scarps and identified several
new faults and assemble an updated map for the faults in Houston and surrounding areas. They
used two different LiDAR data sets (from 2001 to 2008) to develop their area fault map.
4. FAULT ASSESSMENT
4.1 Review of Aerial Photographs
For the Subject Project Alignment,we obtained a series of aerial photographs for the years 1930,
1944, 1953, 1965, 1975, 1977, 1989, 1996,2004 and 2014 taken under various conditions including
some taken prior to substantial disturbance or covering the natural ground surface (these aerial
photographs are provided in Appendix B). Based on this review,we found two possible faults
crossing the Subject Project Alignment. The 1944, 1975 and 1996 aerial photographs show some
linear shading which may be indicative of the mapped Geologic Fault 40A near the west end of the
of the Subject Project Alignment. The 1944 aerial photograph shows some linear shading which
may be indicative of the mapped Geologic Fault 41A near the east end of the Subject Project
Alignment. No other possible fault(s) were observed on the earlier 1930 aerial photographs due to Ned
4
its poor quality or on the 1953 and later aerial photographs due to modifications of the landscape
Nger
and other factors.
In viewing aerial photographs, features that may indicate the presence of a fault,include tonal
variations in vegetation, areas of standing water and lineations associated with drainage patterns.
This features by themselves do not prove that a fault is present, but allow for more effective
topographic map review and field reconnaissance.
4.2 Review of Topographic Maps
HVJ Associates reviewed the 1929 and later Pearland area topographic maps for the project area.
Because of project area terrain with relatively low relief and five-foot contour intervals, no obvious
lineaments or other features indicative of geologic faulting were observed on these maps.
5. RECONNAISSANCE
5.1 Objectives
A field reconnaissance was performed during June 2016 on foot and by automobile to observe the
subject areas and to observe areas identified through literature research and on topographic maps
for evidence of faulting.
5.2 Field Reconnaissance
During the course of the field reconnaissance, paved roads adjacent to and within the study area
were examined for road surface flexures and/or cracks that would be indicative of faulting. Cracked
paving and two scarps potentially related to Geologic Fault 40A were observed along Rov Road,
Green Hill Road and along Max Road near the Subject Project Alignment. Cracked paving
potentially related to Geologic Fault 41A was observed along Woody Road near the Subject Project
's e Alignment. No obvious building damage indicating recent fault movement was observed during this
reconnaissance. A series of site photos showing the fault locations and descriptions of what we
observed along the Subject Project Alignment and the surrounding local streets is provided in
Appendix A. Plate 6 shows the data we collected during our field reconnaissance.
A sag zone is a depressional feature on the downthrown side of a fault which can cause drainage
problems near a fault. While sag zones are a common feature associated with active faults, no
evidence of a sag zone was observed during our field reconnaissance at the fault locations.
It should be noted that a common complication in many fault studies is that much of the evidence
normally used to map surface traces of faults in the Gulf Coast have been destroyed in developed
areas. Only the most active and damaging faults or faults whose scarps are of substantial height are
likely to be noticed during mapping of developed areas. Mapping of faults is most difficult in areas
with recent development; however,in older developed areas the fault can be located quite accurately
at many points where it has damaged buildings, road and other manmade structures. The trace of
the Geologic Fault 40A near the west end and Fault 41A near the east end along the Subject Project
Alignment has been obscured by landscape modifications along and near the Subject Project
Alignment area.
6. RECOMMENDATIONS
Since two faults which are well documented in the geologic literature, by field observation and by
aerial photographs may cross on or near the Subject Project Alignment area,we recommend fault
protective measures are required for a buried utility. These measures are determined based on the
size of the utility, the method of installation, and the fault activity. While there is some uncertainty
lit or of whether Geologic Fault 40A or Geologic Fault 41A actually crosses the Subject Project
Alignment,we recommend that the proposed utilities in particular be designed with protective
5
measures unless additional study is done to confirm that faulting is not present. We recommend xed
that fault protective measures be designed based on a 50 year Design Criteria Movement of 11
inches vertically within a hazard zone extending 300 feet from either side of Geologic Fault 40A and
Geologic Fault 41A. Near the west end of the Subject Project Alignment, the portion of the project
potentially affected is from about Station 43+00 to Station 49+00 along the Subject Project
Alignment between Stone Road and Max Road. Geologic Fault 40A is estimated to cross the
Subject Project Alignment at about Station 46+00 (see Plate 5A). Near the east end of the Subject
Project Alignment, the portions of the project potentially affected are from about Station 156+60 to
Station 162+60 along the Subject Project Alignment near Woody Road and about Station 6+10 to
Station 10+10 along Woody Road. Geologic Fault 41A is estimated to cross the Subject Project
Alignment at about Station 159+60 (see Plate 5B).
We recommend that,during construction planning, consideration be given to the proximity of the
fault to the project area. Construction should take into account of the potential for fault movement.
It should be noted that movement rates are not consistent along the fault and that the rate goes to
zero at either end. Pavement crossing the fault locations will experience horizontal and vertical
movements. These movements will cause cracking and accelerated deterioration of the pavement
structure due to water infiltration. To the extent possible, the area of pavement within the fault
hazard zones of influence should be minimized. Where pavements must cross the fault, the
pavement section recommended for heavy truck loads should be used near the fault trace.
Maintenance budgets should include allowance for replacement of slabs near the fault much more
frequently than similar pavements away from the fault. Subsurface utilities crossing the faults will
experience vertical and horizontal movements. These movements will cause cracking of pipes and
change the invert grades in the vicinity of the faults with time. Drainage in the vicinity of the faults
will be impacted by fault movement. Over time the site grades will change near the fault to create
an apparent depression that will not drain properly.
Two design approaches can be taken for design of buried utilities crossing a fault line. Limited
measures to protect the utility can be taken and the utility can be designed to be easily serviced when
a break occurs. As an alternative, the section of the utility that is located within the fault zone can
be designed to accommodate the projected fault movement without damage. We recommend this
approach due to the relatively high impact of a break,unless a Phase II Geologic Fault
Assessment is performed along the Subject Project Alignment to confirm that the fault is not
present.
The utility design at the fault crossing needs to address the following fault-related design issues in
addition to the normal utility design issues:
1. Vertical loads due to the fault displacement,
2. Lateral loads due to the fault offset,
3. Loss of support beneath a portion of the utility due to fault displacement,
4. Tension stress in the utility due to fault extension, and
5. Rotation and extension at the utility pipe joints due to fault displacement.
One approach to solving the deflection issues is to use jointed pipe within the fault zone that is
capable of sustaining the rotation and extension that may occur. These design issues and our related
recommendations are discussed in the following paragraphs. We recommend that valves be
installed in the pipe near but outside the fault zone in order that the portion of the line within the
fault zone can be easily isolated for repair in the event of a break.
Vertical Load. The fault is projected to produce up to about 11 inches of vertical offset over a fifty-
year period. This vertical loading will deform the pipe and needs to be accommodated without J
damage to the pipe.
6
,�, Lateral Load. The fault is projected to produce up to about four inches of lateral movement over a
fifty-year period. To the extent that the pipe centerline does not cross perpendicular to the fault
lateral loads can be generated. These lateral loads will deform the pipe and need to be
accommodated without damage to the pipe.
Loss of Support. The pipe will tend to "bridge" and lose contact with the underlying soil for some
distance on the downthrown side of the fault. The pipe must be designed to accommodate this loss
of support without damage.
Tension Stress. The fault is projected to produce about 4 inches of horizontal extension along the
alignment over a fifty-year period. The soil structure friction will produce tension stresses in the
pipe because of the extension which need to be resisted by the pipe without damage. This tension
may also have a tendency to disengage joints between pipe sections located within the fault area.
Backfill and Bedding. Rigid backfill and bedding materials, such as cement stabilized sand, should
not be used within the fault hazard zone identified in this report. Rigid materials can cause stress
concentrations leading to highly localized failure of the pipe, and they may make access to the pipe
for repair more difficult. Crushed rock with sand backfill is preferred.
Within the hazard zone,we recommend that the trench be lined with a geotextile filter installed per
the manufacturer's recommendations. This lining will serve to prevent infiltration of natural soil
into the backfill and will prevent sediment inflow into the pipe in case of breakage or joint distress.
Alignment. We recommend that no sensitive structures be installed within the hazard zone.
Sensitive structures include manholes,valves, access manways and similar facilities.

7. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS
Based on our site reconnaissance and review of available information obtained for this project, our
findings and conclusions are summarized below:
7.1 Findings
The Subject Project Alignments appear to be in an area of Houston with well documented fault
systems with surface expressions. Two main active surface faults are present along the Subject
Project Alignment. These faults are down to the northwest, southwest to northeast trending fault
identified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) which is radial to the Mykawa Oil Field
salt dome area. Geologic Fault 40A is mapped crossing Max Road and Roy Road and terminates in
a wooded area near the Subject Project Alignment. Its approximate location is depicted on Plates 3,
4 and 6. During site reconnaissance, an obvious expression of Geologic Fault 40A in the form of
cracked paving and two scarps were observed at/near Max Road, Green Hill Road and Roy Road,
northeast of the Subject Project Alignment. Geologic Fault 41 A is mapped crossing the Subject
Project Alignment near Woody Road. Its approximate location is depicted on Plates 3,4, and 6.
During site reconnaissance, an obvious surface expression of this fault was observed along Woody
Road near the Subject Project Alignment.
The 1944, 1975 and 1996 aerial photographs show some faint linear shading which may be
indicative of the mapped Geologic Faults 40A near the west end of the Subject Project Alignment.
The 1944 aerial photograph shows some faint linear shading which may be indicative of the mapped
Geologic Faults 41A near the east end of the Subject Project Alignment. No other possible fault(s)
were observed on the earlier 1930 aerial photograph due to poor photograph quality and on the
1953 and later aerial photographs due to modifications of the landscape and other factors.
Examination of the 1929 historical topographic map and later topographic maps for the project area
7
showed no alignment or linear features that could be interpreted as fault related. This is due in part ,%•010
to the project area terrain with relatively low relief and five-foot contour intervals.
7.2 Conclusions
Based on the information obtained in this study, the potential for active surface faulting along the
Subject Project Alignment should be considered high. Geologic Fault 40A terminates near the
Subject Project Alignment on the west end. The location of this fault is documented in the geologic
literature, on three aerial photographs and by field reconnaissance. It should be noted that we
observed no indications that this fault crossing the proposed McHard Road,however, since it is
mapped terminating near the proposed McHard Road we recommend a hazard zone for this
location. We conclude that Geologic Fault 40A may cross the proposed McHard Road near the
west end of the Subject Project Alignment. Geologic Fault 41A is documented in the geologic
literature crossing the Subject Project Alignment near Woody Road and was observed in the field
and on one aerial photograph. We estimate that these faults extend under the Subject Project
Alignment at an angle of approximately 75° (from the horizontal). This dip is typical for faults in
the Houston Metropolitan area and is a rough estimate based on invasive fault studies conducted by
HVJ Associates in the general project area and from other sources. We conclude that fault hazard
zones are appropriate for two locations along the Subject Project Alignment and one location along
Woody Road. The portions of the project potentially affected are from about Station 43+00 to
Station 49+00, from about Station 156+60 to Station 162+60 along the Subject Project Alignment
and from Station 6+10 to Station 10+10 along Woody Road. The need for these hazard zones
might be reduced or eliminated if a Phase II Geologic Fault Assessment is conducted. No faults
other than these two faults mentioned above were observed and/or documented in the literature on
or near the Subject Project Alignment.
Faults are not always associated with lineaments. Thus in the absence of definitely recognizable
fault scarps or fault-related damage, they may not be identifiable by visual inspection alone.
Additionally,vegetative cover and uneven topography can obscure the presence of a fault, especially
if it is slow moving or currently inactive. Predicting future fault activity cannot be done with
certainty due to the number of variables involved. Dormant or very slow moving faults can be,
respectively, reactivated or accelerated due to a number of reasons,including groundwater
withdrawals and petroleum production.
8. LIMITATIONS
The conditions and recommendations contained in this report are based on our review of available
documents and field geologic mapping techniques. Shallow soil conditions, cultural activities, new
construction, slow movement rates, and repair of existing fault damage may obscure fault-related
features.
This report is an instrument of service of HVJ Associates, Inc. The report was prepared for and is
intended for the exclusive use of GEO 1 EST,the City of Pearland and TXDOT. The report's
contents may not be relied upon by any other party without the express written permission of HVJ
Associates and GEOTEST.
The report's findings are based on conditions that existed on the dates of HVJ Associates site visit(s)
and should not be relied upon to precisely represent conditions at any other time. All conclusions
are qualified by the fact that no excavations or borings were made and no geophysical surveys or
logging was conducted. Conclusions about site conditions under no circumstances comprise a
xarranty that conditions in all areas within the site and study area (and below existing grade) are of
the same quality that HVJ Associates has inferred from observable site conditions.

HVJ Associates' findings and conclusions must be considered probabilities based on professional
%se judgment applied to the limited data HVJ Associates was able to gather during the course of this
fault study.
