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 _
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
10-2012 00700- 18 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
ENGINEER shall submit such written request, together with his written recommendation, to the
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
10-2012 00700- 19 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
agrees that a failure to complete on time will cause damage to the OWNER and that such damages
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.
C. Revised, current construction schedule showing that the time requested affects
the project's critical path.
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

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

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

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

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,

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.

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.

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,

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

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the ENGINEER will make
10-2012 00700-27 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The

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.

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

Method (A) --By Contract unit prices applicable to the work, if any; or
10-2012 00700-28 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
', Method (B) --By agreed unit prices or agreed stipulated lump sum price; or
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.

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,
timekeepers, 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

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
10-2012 00700-29 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
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 ;
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

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.

claim, dispute, or dispute resolution process between OWNER and CONTRACTOR.

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
10-2012 00700-31 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
become due to the CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of this Agreement or any
other agreement between OWNER and CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR j
and/or his surety shall promptly pay the amount of such increase to the OWNER
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 fmal 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 .r.�
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
10-2012 00700-32 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
CONTRACTOR under the Contract or any other agreement with OWNER or any parent,
CI'lb' subsidiary or affiliate of OWNER.
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. In 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
teunination 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
10-2012 00700-33 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
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
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
10-2012 00700-34 of 36
CITY OF PEARLAND GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT
that have not been included in payments to the CONTRACTOR and have not,been incorporated
rb` 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
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

operation to which welding is incidental.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii) ) .
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 union or non-union.
Union Identifiers
An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with
characters other than "SU" denotes that the union
classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that
classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011 . The first
four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the
four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union /4111
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.
The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the
effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective
bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above
example.
Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any
changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the
rates.
0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually
each January.
Non-Union Identifiers
Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived
from survey data by computing average rates and are not union
rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may
include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007
5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union majority rates,
LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the
survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates
the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued
as a General Wage Determination on that date.
http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/davisbacon/TX44.dvb?v=0 3/4/2014
Page 3 of 4
Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change
0111'1 until a new survey is conducted.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1. ) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2. )
and 3. ) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2. ) If the answer to the question in 1. ) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7) . Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc. ) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3. ) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board) . Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

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,
and excavating; and 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.
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
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
Page 6
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR1500o0
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/mapdisclaimer.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.14o3 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.

support activity that is regulated under this general permit,including all contiguous land and
fixtures(for example,ponds and materials stockpiles),structures,or appurtances used at a
construction site or industrial site described by this general permit.
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
7o%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.
B. For individual lots in a residential construction site by either:
(1) 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 hornet()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.
Page 7
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150o00
Fullfillment 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 may be 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.
Hyperchlorination of Waterlines—Treatment of potable water lines or tanks with
chlorine for disinfection purposes,typically following repair or partial replacement of the
waterline or tank,and subsequently flushing the contents.
Impaired Water-A surface water body that is identified on the latest approved CWA

Large construction activity also includes the disturbance of less than five(5) acres of total
land area that is part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common
plan will ultimately disturb equal to or greater than five(5)acres of land. Large construction
activity does not include routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line
and grade,hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of the site(for example,the routine
grading of existing dirt roads, asphalt overlays of existing roads,the routine clearing of
existing right-of-ways, and similar maintenance activities.)

Discharges of stormwater runoff from small and large construction activities may be
authorized under this general permit.
2. Discharges of Stormwater Associated with Construction Support Activities
Examples of construction support activities include,but are not limited to, concrete
batch plants, rock crushers, asphalt batch plants, equipment staging areas,material
storage yards,material borrow areas,and excavated material disposal areas.
Construction support activities authorized under this general permit are not commercial
operations,and do not serve multiple unrelated construction projects. Discharges of
stormwater runoff from construction support activities may be authorized under this
general permit,provided that the following conditions are met:
(a) the activities are located within one(1)mile from the boundary of the permitted
construction site and directly support the construction activity;
(b) an SWP3 is developed for the permitted construction site according to the provisions
of this general permit, and includes appropriate controls and measures to reduce
erosion and discharge of pollutants in stormwater runoff from the construction
support activities; and
(c) the construction support activities either do not operate beyond the completion date
of the construction activity or, at the time that they do,are authorized under separate
Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(TPDES) authorization. Separate
TPDES authorization may include the TPDES Multi Sector General Permit(MSGP),
TXRo50000 (related to stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity),
separate authorization under this general permit if applicable, coverage under an
alternative general permit if available, or authorization under an individual water
quality permit.
3. Non-Stormwater Discharges
The following non-stormwater discharges from sites authorized under this general
permit are also eligible for authorization under this general permit:
(a) discharges from fire fighting activities (fire fighting activities do not include washing
of trucks, run-off water from training activities,test water from fire suppression
systems, or similar activities);
(b) uncontaminated fire hydrant flushings(excluding discharges of hyperchlorinated
water,unless the water is first dechlorinated and discharges are not expected to
adversely affect aquatic life),which include flushings from systems that utilize
potable water,surface water,or groundwater that does not contain additional
pollutants (uncontaminated fire hydrant flushings do not include systems utilizing
reclaimed wastewater as a source water);
(c) water from the routine external washing of vehicles,the external portion of buildings
or structures, and pavement,where detergents and soaps are not used,where spills
or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not occurred(unless spilled materials
Page 12
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
have been removed; and if local state,or federal regulations are applicable,the
materials are removed according to those regulations),and where the purpose is to
remove mud,dirt,or dust;
(d) uncontaminated water used to control dust;
(e) potable water sources, including waterline flushings,but excluding discharges of
hyperchlorinated water,unless the water is first dechlorinated and discharges are not
expected to adversely affect aquatic life;
(f) uncontaminated air conditioning condensate;
(g) uncontaminated ground water or spring water,including foundation or footing
drains where flows are not contaminated with industrial materials such as solvents;
and -
(h)lawn watering and similar irrigation drainage.
4. Other Permitted Discharges
Any discharge authorized under a separate National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System(NPDES),TPDES, or TCEQ permit may be combined with discharges authorized
by this general permit,provided those discharges comply with the associated permit.
Section B. Concrete Truck Wash Out
The wash out of concrete trucks at regulated construction sites must be performed in
accordance with the requirements of Part V of this general permit.
Section C. Limitations on Permit Coverage
1. Post Construction Discharges
Discharges that occur after construction activities have been completed, and after the
construction site and any supporting activity site have undergone final stabilization,are
not eligible for.coverage under this general permit. Discharges originating from the sites
are not authorized under this general permit following the submission of the notice of
termination(NOT)or removal of the appropriate site notice, as applicable,for the
regulated construction activity.
2. Prohibition of Non-Stormwater Discharges
Except as otherwise provided in Part II.A.of this general permit, only discharges that are
composed entirely of stormwater associated with construction activity may be
authorized under this general permit.
3. Compliance With Water Quality Standards
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 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

4. Impaired Receiving Waters and Total Maximum Daily Load(TMDL) Requirements
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 standards and are listed on the EPA approved CWA§3o3(d)List.Pollutants of
concern are those for which the water body is listed as impaired.
Discharges of the pollutants of concern to impaired water bodies for which there is a
TMDL are not eligible for this general permit unless they are consistent with the
approved TMDL. Permittees must incorporate the conditions and requirements
applicable to their discharges into their SWP3,in order to be eligible for coverage under
this general permit. For consistency with the construction stormwater-related items in
an approved TMDL,the SWP3 must be consistent with any applicable condition,goal,or
requirement in the TMDL,TMDL Implementation Plan(I-Plan), or as otherwise
directed by the executive director.
5. Discharges to the Edwards Aquifer Recharge or Contributing Zone
Discharges cannot be authorized by this general permit where prohibited by 3o TAC
Chapter 213(relating to Edwards Aquifer). In addition, commencement of construction
(i.e.,the initial disturbance of soils associated with clearing,grading, or excavating
activities, as well as other construction-related activities such as stockpiling of fill
material and demolition)at a site regulated under 3o TAC Chapter 213,may not begin
until the appropriate Edwards Aquifer Protection Plan(EAPP)has been approved by the
TCEQ's Edwards Aquifer Protection Program.
(a) For new discharges located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, or within
that area upstream from the recharge zone and defined as the Contributing Zone
(CZ), operators must meet all applicable requirements of,and operate according to,
3o TAC Chapter 213(Edwards Aquifer Rule)in addition to the provisions and
requirements of this general permit.
(b) For existing discharges located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone,the

Stormwater discharges from agricultural activities that are not point source discharges
of stormwater are not subject to TPDES permit requirements. These activities may
include clearing and cultivating ground for crops,construction of fences to contain
livestock,construction of stock ponds,and other similar agricultural activities. -
Discharges of stormwater runoff associated with the construction of facilities that are
subject to TPDES regulations,such as the construction of concentrated animal feeding
operations,would be point sources regulated under this general permit.
11. Endangered Species Act
Discharges that would adversely affect a listed endangered or threatened aquatic or
aquatic-dependent species or its critical habitat are not authorized by this permit,unless
the requirements of the Endangered Species Act are satisfied.Federal requirements
related to endangered species apply to all TPDES permitted discharges and site-specific
controls may be required to ensure that protection of endangered or threatened species
is achieved. If a permittee has concerns over potential impacts to listed species,the
permittee may contact TCEQ for additional information.

director. If electronic submission of the NOI is provided, and unless otherwise
notified by the executive director,primary operators are authorized immediately
following confirmation of receipt of the NOI by the TCEQ. Authorization is non-
provisional when the executive director finds the NOI is administratively complete
and an authorization number is issued for the activity. For activities located in areas
regulated by 3o TAC Chapter 213,related to the Edwards Aquifer,this authorization
to discharge is separate from the requirements of the operator's responsibilities
under that rule. Construction may not commence for sites regulated under 30 TAC
Chapter 213 until all applicable requirements of that rule are met.
(c) Operators are not prohibited from submitting late NOIs or posting late notices to
obtain authorization under this general permit. The TCEQ reserves the right to take
appropriate enforcement actions for any unpermitted activities that may have
occurred between the time construction commenced and authorization was obtained.
6. Notice of Change (NOC)
If relevant information provided in the NOI changes, an NOC must be submitted at least
14 days before the change occurs, if possible. Where 14-day advance notice is not
possible,the operator must submit an NOC within 14 days of discovery of the change. If --

disturbed(for increases of one or more acres),or the operator name. A transfer of
operational control from one operator to another,including a transfer of the ownership
of a company,may not be included in an NOC.
A transfer of ownership of a company includes changes to the structure of a company,
such as changing from a partnership to a corporation or changing corporation types,so
that the filing number(or charter number)that is on record with the Texas Secretary of
State must be changed.
An NOC is not required for notifying TCEQ of a decrease in the number of acres
disturbed. This information must be included in the SWP3 and retained on site.
7. Signatory Requirement for NOI Forms,Notice of Termination(NOT)Forms,NOC
Letters,and Construction Site Notices

controls have either been removed,will be removed on a schedule defined in the
SWP3, or have been transferred to a new operator if the new operator has applied for
permit coverage. 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.
3. Termination of Coverage for Small Construction Sites and for Secondary Operators
at Large Construction Sites
Each operator that has obtained automatic authorization and has not been required to
submit an NOI must remove the site notice upon meeting any of the conditions listed
below,complete the applicable portion of the site notice related to removal of the site
notice, and submit a copy of the completed site notice to the operator of any MS4

responsibility of the permittee;
(b) a transfer of operational control has occurred(See Section II.F.4.below); or
(c) the operator has obtained alternative authorization under an individual or general
TPDES permit.
Authorization to discharge under this general permit terminates immediately upon
removal of the applicable site notice. Compliance with the conditions and requirements
of this permit is required until the site notice is removed.
4. Transfer of Operational Control
Coverage under this general permit is not transferable. A transfer of operational control
includes changes to the structure of a company,such as changing from a partnership to a
corporation,or changing to a different corporation type such that a different filing(or
charter)number is established with the Texas Secretary of State.
When the primary operator of a large construction activity changes or operational
control is transferred,the original operator must submit an NOT within ten(io)days
prior to the date that responsibility for operations terminates, and the new operator
must submit an NOI at least ten(io) days prior to the transfer of operational control,in
accordance with condition(a)or(b)below. A copy of the NOT must be provided to the
operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge in accordance with Section II.F.1. above.
Operators of regulated construction activities who are not required to submit an NOI
must remove the original site notice, and the new operator must post the required site
notice prior to the transfer of operational control,in accordance with condition(a)or(b)
below. A copy of the completed site notice must be provided to the operator of any MS4
receiving the discharge; in accordance with Section II.F.3. above.
A transfer of operational control occurs when either of the following criteria is met:
(a) Another operator has assumed control over all areas of the site that have not been
finally stabilized; and 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 permitted operator has attempted to notify the new
operator in writing of the requirement to obtain permit coverage. Record of this
notification(or attempt at notification)shall be retained by the 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.
(b)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
listed above, including the development of a SWP3 if necessary. Under these
circumstances,the homebuilder is only responsible for compliance with the general
permit requirements as they apply to lot(s)it has operational control over,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.
Page 21
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR15o000
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,where all of the
following conditions are met. This waiver from coverage does not apply to non-
stormwater discharges. The operator must insure that any non-stormwater discharges
are either authorized under a separate permit or authorization, or are not considered to
be a wastewater.
(a) the calculated rainfall erosivity(R)factor for the entire period of the construction
project is less than five(5);
(b) the operator submits to the TCEQ a signed waiver certification form,supplied by the
executive director, certifying that the construction activity will commence and be
completed within a period when the value of the calculated R factor is less than five
(5); and
(c) the waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ at least seven(7)
days before construction activity begins or,if electronic filing is available,then any
time following the receipt of written confirmation from TCEQ that a complete
electronic application was submitted and acknowledged.
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: http://ei.tamu.edu/index.html, or using another available resource.
The waiver certification form is not required to be posted at the small construction site.
3. Effective Date of Waiver
Operators of small construction activities are provisionally waived from the otherwise
applicable requirements of this general permit seven(7) days from the date that a
completed waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ, or immediately
upon receiving confirmation of approval of an electronic submittal,if electronic form
submittals are available.
4. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period
If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to
circumstances beyond the control of the operator,the operator must either:
Page 22
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(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
delineated in either Part II.E.2.or Part ILE.3.before the end of the approved waiver
period.
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§goy(relating to
Consolidated Permits). Applications for individual permit coverage should be submitted
at least three hundred and thirty(330) days prior to commencement of construction
activities to ensure timely authorization. . -
2. Individual Permit Required
The executive director may suspend an authorization or deny an`NOI in accordance with
the procedures set forth in 3o TAC§205(relating to General Permits for Waste
Discharges),including the requirement that the executive director provide written notice
to the permittee. 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 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 2o5.4(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."
Additionally,the executive director may cancel, revoke, or suspend authorization to
discharge under this general permit based on a finding of historical and significant
noncompliance with the provisions of this general permit,relating to 3o TAC§60.3(Use
of Compliance History). Denial of authorization to discharge under this general permit
or suspension of a permittee's authorization under this general permit shall be done
according to commission rules in 3o TAC Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for
Waste Discharges).
3. 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.

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.,including discharges to MS4s and privately owned
separate storm sewer systems that drain to Waters of the U.S.,to identify and address
potential sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges
from the construction site,including off-site material storage areas, overburden and
stockpiles of dirt,borrow areas, equipment staging areas,vehicle repair areas,fueling areas,
etc.,used solely by the permitted project. The 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.
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,permittees 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.
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 must
independently obtain authorization,but may work together to prepare and implement a
single, comprehensive SWP3 for the entire construction site.
1. The SWP3 must clearly list the name and,for large construction activities,the general
permit authorization numbers,for each operator that participates in the shared
SWP3. Until the TCEQ responds to receipt of the NOI with a general permit
authorization number,the SWP3 must specify the date that the NOI was submitted to
TCEQ by each operator. Each operator participating in the shared plan must also
sign the SWP3. t)
Page 24
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
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 the party
with day-to-day operational control has not been authorized or has abandoned
the-site,the person with control over project specifications is considered to be the
responsible party until the authority is transferred to another party and the SWP3
is updated.
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) includes,for areas where they have operational control over day-to-day activities,the
name and site-specific TPDES authorization number of the parties with control over
project specifications,including the ability to make modifications in specifications.
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
Page 25
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
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. A primary operator of a large construction activity must post the TCEQ site notice
near the main entrance of the construction site. An operator of a small construction
activity seeking authorization under this general permit and a secondary operator of
a large construction activity must post the TCEQ site notice required in Part
2.,or 3.of this general permit in order to obtain authorization. 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. Notices for these linear sites may be relocated, as necessary, along the
length of the project.The notices must be readily available for viewing by the general
public;local,state, and federal authorities; and contain the following information:
(a) the site-specific TPDES authorization number for the project if assigned;
(b) the operator name, contact name, and contact phone number;
(c) a brief description of the project; and
(d) 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 whenever 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 site operators, 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 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.

proximity to the site, and also indicating those that are impaired waters;
(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

Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(m)locations of all pollutant-generating activities,such as 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.
(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 site, compliant with the requirements of Part
III.G.].and G.2 of this general permit,including a schedule of when the practices will
be implemented. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation 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.1 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 stabilization measures after
construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded
Page 28
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR1500o0
by snow cover or frozen ground conditions,stabilization measures
must be initiated as soon as practicable.
(B) In arid areas,semi-arid areas,-or drought-stricken areas where the
immediate initiation of stabilization measures after construction
activity has temporarily or permanently ceased or is precluded by arid
conditions,erosion control and stabilization measures must be
initiated as soon as practicable. Where vegetative controls are not
feasible due to arid conditions,the operator shall immediately install,
and within 14 calendar days of a temporary or permanent cessation of
work in any portion of the site complete,non-vegetative erosion
controls. If non-vegetative controls are not feasible,the operator shall
install temporary sediment controls as required in Paragraph(C)
below.
(C) In areas where temporary stabilization measures 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 frequency
•
established in Section III.F.7.(a)for unstabilized sites.
(D) If the initiation or completion of vegetative stabilization is affected by
circumstances beyond the control of the permittee,vegetative
stabilization must be initiated or completed as soon as conditions or
circumstances allow it on the site. The requirement to initiate
stabilization is triggered as soon as it is known with reasonable
- • certainty that work will be stopped for 14 or more additional calendar
days.
(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)
(1) 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.
Page 29
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(2) Where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be ...1
performed,the sedimentation basin must provide at least 3,600
cubic feet of storage per acre drained until final stabilization of the
site.
(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 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 only
responsible for the installation and maintenance of stormwater management
measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT
4. Other Required Controls and BMPs
(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.
Page 30
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXRi50000
(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 from areas
other than construction(such as stormwater discharges from dedicated asphalt
plants and dedicated concrete batch plants),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.
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 30 TAC
Chapter 21.3 (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,the permittee
determines that BMPs are not operating effectively,then the permittee shall
perform maintenance as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness 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 timethat design capacity has been reduced by 5o%. For perimeter
Page 31.
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
controls such as silt fences,berms, etc.,the trapped sediment must be removed
before it reaches 50%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 of the
construction site that have not been finally stabilized,areas used for storage of
materials that are exposed to precipitation,discharge locations, and structural
controls for evidence of, or the potential for,pollutants entering the drainage
system. Personnel conducting these inspections must be knowledgeable of this
general permit,familiar with the construction site, and knowledgeable of the
SWP3 for the site. Sediment and erosion control measures identified in the
SWP3 must be inspected to ensure that they are operating correctly. Locations
where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site
sediment tracking. Inspections must be conducted at least once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of o.5 inches or
greater.
Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized or where runoff is
unlikely due to winter conditions(e.g.site is covered with snow,ice, or frozen
ground exists),inspections must be conducted at least once every month. 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 winter or
drought conditions resulting in monthly frequency of inspections.
As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of a storm event of o.5 inches or greater,the
SWP3 may be 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.
The inspections may occur on either schedule provided that the SWP3 reflects
the current schedule and that any changes to the schedule are conducted in
accordance with the following provisions: the schedule may 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 must
be documented in the SWP3(e.g.,end of"dry"season and beginning of"wet"
season).
(b) 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. Inspection of
these areas could require that vehicles compromise temporarily or even
permanently stabilized areas, cause additional disturbance of soils, and 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. 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)
Page 32
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
above. The conditions of the controls along each inspected o.25 mile portion
may be considered as representative of the condition of controls along that reach
extending from the end of the o.25 mile portion to either the end of the next o.25
mile inspected portion,or to the end of the project,whichever occurs first.
_ _As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every 14
calendar days and within 24 hours of a storm event of o.5 inches or greater,the
SWP3 may be 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. The inspections may occur on either
schedule provided that the SWP3 reflects the current schedule and that any
changes to the schedule are conducted in accordance with the following
provisions: the schedule maybe 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 must be documented in the SWP3(e.g.,
end of"dry"season and beginning of"wet"season).
(c) 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.
(d) 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
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:
(e) A report summarizing the scope of the inspection,the date(s)of the inspection,
and major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3 must be
made and retained as part of the SWP3. Major observations should include:
The locations of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site;
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.
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 signed by the person and in the
manner required by 30 TAC§305.128 (relating to Signatories to Reports).
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.
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§§1.25.3o-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).
i. 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;
(b) If any stormwater flow will be channelized at the site,stormwater controls must
be designed to control both peak flowrates and total stormwater volume to
minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and
streambank erosion;
(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,
provide and maintain appropriate natural buffers if feasible and as necessary,
around surface waters,depending on site-specific topography,sensitivity, and
proximity to water bodies. Direct stormwater to vegetated areas to increase
sediment removal and maximize stormwater infiltration. If providing buffers is
infeasible, the permittee shall document the reason that natural buffers are not
feasible, and shall implement additional erosion and sediment controls to reduce
sediment load;
(g) Preserve native topsoil at the site,unless infeasible; and
(h) Minimize soil compaction in post-construction pervious areas. 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
(2) 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;
(i) TCEQ does not consider stormwater control features (e.g., stormwater
conveyance channels, storm drain inlets,sediment basins)to constitute"surface
waters"for the purposes of triggering the buffer requirement in Part III.G.(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
Page 34
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150o00
stabilization must be completed no more than 1.4 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.
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; and
(c) 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:..
(a) Wastewater from wash out of concrete trucks,unless managed by an appropriate
control(see Part V of the general permit);
(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; and
(d) Soaps or solvents used in vehicle-and equipment washing.
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 at regulated construction sites
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. If discharges
of stormwater runoff from concrete batch plants are not covered under this general permit,
then discharges must be authorized under an alternative general permit or individual permit.
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
Page 35
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
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 15 mg/L i/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab(*3)
Total Suspended 10o mg/L i/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab(*3)
Solids
pH 6.0—9.o Standard 1/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab(*3)
Units
Total Iron 1.3 mg/L i/quarter(*1) (*2) Grab(*3)
(*1) 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 30
minutes of discharge,the reason must be documented and attached to all
required reports and records of the sampling activity.
(*2) 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.
(*3) 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.
Page 36
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR1.50000
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 runon 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.
Section B. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and SWP3 Requirements

Pollutant Sources"from Part W.B.1.(a)of this permit, and a schedule for
implementation of the measures and controls. This must include,at a minimum:
(a) Good Housekeeping-Good housekeeping measures must be developed and
implemented in the area(s)associated with concrete batch plants.
(1) 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.
(2) 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.The
inspection frequency must be specified in the SWP3 based upon a consideration
of the level of concrete production at the facility,but must be a minimum of
once per month while the facility is in operation.The inspection must take place
while the facility is in operation and must, at a minimum,include all areas that
are exposed to stormwater at the site,including material handling areas, above
ground storage tanks,hoppers or silos, dust collection/containment systems,
truck wash down and equipment cleaning areas. Follow-up procedures must be

Records of inspections must be maintained and be made readily available for
inspection upon request.
(d) Employee Training-An employee training program must be developed to
educate personnel responsible for implementing any component of the SWP3,
or personnel otherwise responsible for stormwater pollution prevention,with
the provisions of the SWP3. The frequency of training must be documented in
Page 38
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
the SWP3, and at a minimum,must consist of one training prior to the
1\ initiation of operation of the concrete batch plant.
(e) Record Keeping and Internal Reporting Procedures -A description of spills and
similar incidents,plus additional information that is obtained regarding the
quality and quantity of stormwater discharges,must be included in the SWP3.
Inspection and maintenance activities must be documented and records of
those inspection and maintenance activities must be incorporated in the SWP3.
(f) Management of Runoff-The SWP3 shall contain a narrative consideration for
reducing the volume of runoff from concrete batch plants by diverting runoff or
otherwise managing runoff,including use of infiltration, detention ponds,
retention ponds, or reusing of runoff.
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.i.,
"Description of Potential Pollutant Sources"); and pollution prevention
measures and controls identified in the SWP3 (as required in Part IV.B.2.,
"Measures and Controls"). The revisions may include a schedule for
implementing the necessary changes.
(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 may be authorized if conducted in accordance with the
requirements of Part V of this general permit.
Page 39
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Part V. Concrete Truck Wash Out Requirements
This general permit authorizes the wash out of concrete trucks at construction sites regulated
under Sections II.E.i., 2.,and 3. of this general permit,provided the following requirements
are met. Authorization is limited to the land disposal of wash out water from concrete
trucks. Any other direct discharge of concrete production waste water must be authorized
under a separate TCEQ general permit or individual permit.
1. Direct discharge of concrete truck wash out water to surface water in the state,
including discharge to storm sewers, is prohibited by this general permit.
2. Concrete truck wash out water shall be discharged to areas at the construction site
where structural controls have been established to prevent direct discharge to surface
waters,or to areas that have a minimal slope that allow infiltration and filtering of
wash out water to prevent direct discharge to surface waters. 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.
3. Wash out of concrete trucks during rainfall events shall be minimized. The direct
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.
4. The discharge of wash out water must not cause or contribute to groundwater
contamination.
5. 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 by Part II.E.3. 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:
1. A copy of the SWP3;
2. All reports and actions required by this permit,including a copy of the construction
site notice;
3. All data used to complete the NOI,if an NOI is required for coverage under this
general permit; and
4. 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
1. 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, and is grounds for enforcement action,for terminating, revoking, or denying
coverage under this general permit, or for requiring a discharger to apply for and
obtain an individual TPDES permit.
2. Authorization under this general permit may be suspended or revoked for cause.
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 revoking, suspending, or
Page 4o
Construction General Permit TPDES General Permit TXR150000
terminating authorization under this permit. 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.
3. 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.
4. Inspection and entry shall be allowed under TWC Chapters 26-28,Texas Health and
Safety Code§§361.032-361.033 and 361.037,and 40 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.
5. 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:
(a) 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 4o2(b)(8);
(b) knowingly making any false statement,representation,or certification in any
record or other document submitted or required to be maintained under a
permit,including monitoring reports or reports of compliance or
noncompliance; and
(c) knowingly violating§303 of the federal CWA, and placing another person in
imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
6. 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).
7. Authorization under this general permit does not convey property or water rights of
any sort and does not grant any exclusive privilege.
8. The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in
violation of this permit that has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human
health or the environment.
9. The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control(and related appurtenances)which are installed or
used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.
Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and
appropriate quality assurance procedures.This provision requires the operation of
back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee
only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit.
10. The permittee shall comply with the reporting requirements in 4o CFR§122.41(1), as
applicable.
Part VIII. Fees

A number issued by TCEQ's Central Registry to sites (a location where a regulated activity
occurs)regulated by TCEQ.This is not a permit number, registration number, or license
number. If this regulated entity has not been assigned an RN,leave this space blank.
If the site of your business is part of a larger business site, a Regulated Entity Number(RN) may
already be assigned for the larger site. Use the RN assigned for the larger site. Search TCEQ's
Central Registry to see if the larger site may already be registered as a regulated site at:
http://wwwl2.tceq.texas.gov/crpub/index.cfm?fuseaction=regent.RNSearch
If the site is found,provide the assigned Regulated Entity Reference Number(RN) and provide
the information for the site to be authorized through this application. The site information for
this authorization may vary from the larger site information.
An example is a chemical plant where a unit is owned or operated by a separate corporation that
is accessible by the same physical address of your unit or facility. Other examples include
industrial parks identified by one common address but different corporations have control of
defined areas within the site. In both cases, an RN would be assigned for the physical address
location and the permitted sites would be identified separately under the same RN.

http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.TacPage?s1=R&app=9&p dir=&p rloc=&p tlo
c=&p ploc=&pg=i&p tac=&ti=i6&pt=i&ch=3&r1=20
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 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 Railroad Commission's jurisdiction must be authorized by the EPA and the Railroad
Commission of Texas, as applicable.Activities under Railroad Commission of Texas 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 Railroad Commission of
Texas; 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 Railroad Commission
of Texas 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
Railroad Commission of Texas. 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 Railroad
TCEQ-2oo22 Instructions(03/05/2013) Page 7
Commission of Texas 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.
c) Primary Standard Industrial Classification(SIC) Code
Provide the SIC Code that best describes the construction activity being conducted at this site.
Common SIC Codes related to construction activities include:

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.
f) Common Plan of Development
Construction activities that disturb less than five acres do not require submission of an NOI

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.

Ground Water Determination:
1. Equipment: Pipe probe or small diameter casing for ground water elevation
determination.
J. Visual Inspection:
1. Check pipe alignment visually by flashing a light between structures. Verify if
alignment is true and no pipes are misplaced. In case of misalignment or
damaged pipe, remove and re-lay or replace pipe segment.
K. Mandrel Testing:
1. Perform deflection testing on flexible and semi-rigid pipe to confirm pipe has
no more than 5 percent deflection. Mandrel testing shall conform to ASTM D
3034. Perform testing no sooner than 30 days after backfilling of line segment,
but prior to final acceptance testing of the line segment.
2. Pull the approved mandrel by hand through sewer sections. Replace any
section of sewer not passing the mandrel. Mandrel testing is not required for
stubs.
3. Retest repaired or replaced sewer sections.
L. Leakage Testing:
1. Test Options:
a: Test Gravity Sanitary Sewer pipes for leakage by either exfiltration or
infiltration methods, as appropriate, or with low pressure air testing.
b. Test new or rehabilitated sanitary sewer manholes with water or low
pressure air. Manholes tested with low pressure air shall undergo a
physical inspection prior to testing.
c. Leakage testing shall be performed after backfilling of a line segment,
and prior to tie-in of service connections.
d. If no installed piezometer is within 500 feet of the sewer segment,
Contractor shall provide a temporary piezometer for this purpose.
2. Compensating for Ground Water Pressure:
a. Where ground water exists,install a pipe nipple at the same time sewer
line is placed. Use a 1/2-inch capped pipe nipple approximately 10
inches long. Make the installation through manhole wall on top of the
sewer line where line enters manhole.
05/2013 02530- 17 of 25
CITY OF PEARLAND GRAVITY SANITARY SEWERS
b. Immediately before performing line acceptance test,remove cap,clear
pipe nipple with air pressure,and connect a clear plastic tube to nipple. n
Support tube vertically and allow water to rise in the tube. After water
stops rising, measure height in feet of water over invert of the pipe.
Divide this height by 2.3 feet/psi to determine the ground water
pressure to be used in line testing.
3. Exfiltration test:
a. Determine ground water elevation.
b. Plug sewer in downstream manhole.
c. Plug incoming pipes in upstream manhole.
d. Install riser pipe in outgoing pipe of upstream manhole if highest point
in service lead (house service) is less than 2 feet below bottom of
manhole cone.
e. Fill sewer pipe and manhole or pipe riser,if used,with water to a point
2-1/2 feet above highest point in sewer pipe, house lead, or ground
water table, whichever is highest.
f. Allow water to stabilize for one to two hours. Take water level reading
to determine drop of water surface, in inches, over a one-hour period,
and calculate water loss (1 inch of water in 4 feet diameter manhole
equals 8.22 gallons) or measure the quantity of water required to keep
water at same level. Loss shall not exceed that calculated from
allowable leakage according to Table 02530-1 at the end of this
Section.
4. Infiltration test: Ground water elevation must be not less than 2.0 feet above
highest point of sewer pipe or service lead (house service).
a. Determine ground water elevation.
b. Plug incoming pipes in upstream manhole.
c. Insert calibrated 90 degree V-notch weir in pipe on downstream
manhole.
d. Allow water to rise and flow over weir until it stabilizes.
e. Take five readings of accumulated volume over a period of 2 hours and
use average for infiltration. The average must not exceed that
calculated for 2 hours from allowable leakage according to the Table
02530-1 at the end of this Section.
05/2013 02530- 18 of 25
CITY OF PEARLAND GRAVITY SANITARY SEWERS
5. Low Air Pressure Test: When using this test conform to ASTM C 828,ASTM
C 924, or ASTM F 1417, as applicable, with holding time not less than that
listed in Table 02530-2.
a. Air testing for sections of pipe shall be limited to lines less than 36-
inch average inside diameter.
b. Lines 36-inch average inside diameter and larger shall be tested at each
joint. The minimum time allowable for the pressure to drop from 3.5
pounds per square inch gauge to 2.5 pounds per square inch during a
joint test shall be 10 seconds, regardless of pipe size.
c.. For pipe sections less than 36-inch average inside diameter:
1) Determine ground water level.
2) Plug both ends of pipe. For concrete pipe, flood pipe and
allow 2 hours to saturate concrete. Then drain and plug
concrete pipe.
3) After a manhole-to-manhole section of sanitary sewer main
has been sliplined and prior to any service lines being
connected to new liner, plug liner at each manhole with
pneumatic plugs.
4) Pressurize pipe to 4.0 psig. Increase pressure 1.0 psi for
each 2.3 feet of ground water over highest point in system.
Allow pressure to stabilize for 2 to 4 minutes. Adjust
pressure to start at 3.5 psig (plus adjustment for ground
water table). Refer to Table 02530-2 at the end of this
Section.
5) To determine air loss, measure the time interval for
pressure to drop to 2.5 psig. The time must exceed that
listed in the Table 02530-2 at the end of this Section for
pipe diameter and length. For sliplining, use diameter of
carrier pipe.
6. Retest: Any section of pipe which fails to meet requirements shall be repaired
and retested.
M. Test Criteria Tables
1. Exfiltration and Infiltration Water Tests: Refer to Table 02530-1,Water Test
Allowable Leakage, at the end of this Section.
2. Low Pressure Air Test:
05/2013 02530- 19 of 25
CITY OF PEARLAND GRAVITY SANITARY SEWERS
a. Times in Table 02530-2, Time Allowed For Pressure Loss From 3.5
psig to 2.5 psig, at the end of this Section, are based on the equation
from TCEQ Design Criteria for Sewerage Systems: 317.2(a)(4)(B).
T= 0.0850(D)(K)/(Q)
Where:
T = Time for pressure to drop 1.0 pounds per square
inch gauge in seconds
K = 0.000419 DL, but not less than 1.0
D = Average inside diameter in inches
L = Length of line of same pipe size in feet
Q = Rate of loss, 0.0015 ft3/min./sq. ft. internal surface
b. Since a K value of less than 1.0 shall not be used,there are minimum
testing times for each pipe diameter as given in Table 02732-3,
Minimum Testing Times for Low Pressure Air Test.
Notes: 1. When two sizes of pipe are involved, the time shall
be computed by the ratio of lengths involved.
2. Line with a 27-inch average inside diameter and
larger may be air tested at each joint.
3. Lines with an average inside diameter greater than
36 inches must be air tested for leakage at each joint
4. If the joint test is used, a visual inspection of the
joint shall be performed immediately after testing.
5. For joint test, the pipe is to be pressurized to 3.5 psi
greater than the pressure exerted by groundwater
above the pipe. Once the pressure has stabilized,the
minimum times allowable for the pressure to drop
from 3.5 pounds per square inch gauge to 2.5
pounds per square inch gauge shall be 10 seconds.
N. Leakage Testing for Manholes.
1. After completion of manhole construction, wall sealing, or rehabilitation,but
prior to backfilling, test manholes for water tightness using hydrostatic or
vacuum testing procedures.
2. Plug influent and effluent lines, including service lines, with suitably-sized
pneumatic or mechanical plugs. Ensure plugs are properly rated for pressures
required for test; follow manufacturer's safety and installation
recommendations. Place plugs a minimum of 6 inches outside of manhole

tabulated above, locate leaks, complete repairs necessary to seal
manhole and repeat test procedure until satisfactory results are
obtained.
4. Hydrostatic exfiltration testing shall be performed as follows:
a. Seal wastewater lines coming into the manhole with an internal pipe
plug. Then fill the manhole with water and maintain it full for at least
one hour.
b. The maximum leakage for hydrostatic testing shall be 0.025 gallons per
foot diameter per foot of manhole depth per hour.

decision as to suitability of all coatings and linings tested.
B For all field applied coatings and linings,including joints,notify Owner sufficiently in
advance of work so that Owner can perform examination of and acceptance of surface
preparation and application of each coat prior to application of next coat. Furnish
appropriate test data to Owner verifying compliance with requirements of this Section
of each coat prior to proceeding with next coat. Recoat or repair runs, overspray,
roughness and/or abrasives in coating, or other indications of improper application in
accordance with coating or lining manufacturer's and the Engineer's instructions.
C Repairs, surface preparation and painting will be subject to inspection by Owner.
Guidelines published by Steel Structures Painting Council will be used as basis for
acceptance or rejection of cleaning, painting or coating application. SSPC VIS 1,
Pictoral Surface, along with single-probe magnetic pull-off type dry film thickness
gages, electrical holiday detectors,and standard wet film thickness gages will be used
to determine acceptability of paint applications.
D Check film thickness with nondestructive magnetic pull-off gage such as Mikrotest
Model DFG-100 or electronic thickness gage. National Bureau of Standards certified
thickness calibration plates will be used to verify accuracy of thickness gage.
Determine maximum and minimum thickness in accordance with SSPC PA2 for
frequency and method. Evaluate each length of pipe under SSPC PA2. Consider each
field joint area separate and discrete for purpose of DFT measurements. Perform five
spot DFT measurements on each field joint area (15 individual readings). Check
thickness of each individual coat as well as thickness of overall system with respect to
compliance with this Section. Failure to meet either overall system thickness
requirements or requirements of component coats shall be cause for rejection and
recoat or repair of entire joint or length of pipe.
E Holiday Test:
1. Begin inspection after coating has sufficiently cured, usually one to five days.
(Consult coating manufacturer for specific curing schedule.)
2. Use high-voltage d-c holiday detector such as D.E. Stearns Company Model

and seal watertight with tape,or sealant applied between overlapping edges and
ends. Repair vapor barrier damaged during placement of reinforcing and
inserts with vapor barrier material;lap over damaged areas at least 6 inches and
seal watertight.
2. Other Earth Surfaces: Thoroughly wet by sprinkling prior to placing concrete,
and keep moist by frequent sprinkling up to time of placing concrete thereon.
Remove standing water. Surfaces shall be free from standing water,mud and
debris at the time of placing concrete.
B. Construction Joints:

where the placement of the concrete has been interrupted so that, in the
judgment of the Engineer,new concrete cannot be incorporated integrally with
that previously placed.
2. Interruptions: When placing of concrete is to be interrupted long enough for
the concrete to take a set, use forms or other means to shape the working face
to secure proper union with subsequent work. Make construction joints only
where acceptable to the Engineer.
3. Preparation: Give horizontal joint surfaces a compacted,roughened surface for
good bond. Except where the Plans call for joint surfaces to be coated, clean
joint surfaces of laitance, loose or defective concrete and foreign material by
hydroblasting or sandblasting(exposing aggregate),roughen surface to expose
aggregate to a depth of at least 1/4 inch and wash thoroughly. Remove
standing water from the construction joint surface before new concrete is
placed.
4. After surfaces have been prepared cover approximately horizontal construction
joints with a 3-inch lift of a grout mix consisting of Class A concrete batched
without coarse aggregate; place and spread grout uniformly. Place wall
concrete on the grout mix immediately thereafter.

space to be filled with concrete has been properly cut off or diverted and carried out of
the forms,clear of the work. Deposit no concrete underwater. Do not allow still water
to rise on any concrete until concrete has attained its initial set. Do not allow water to
flow over the surface of any concrete in a manner and at a velocity that will damage
the surface finish of the concrete. Pumping,dewatering and other necessary operations
for removing ground water, if required, are subject to the Engineer's review.
G. Corrosion Protection: Position and support pipe, conduit, dowels and other ferrous
items to be embedded in concrete construction prior to placement of concrete so there
is at least a 2 inch clearance between them and any part of the concrete reinforcement.

allow them to dry and carefully inspect for strength before concrete is placed.
4. Before concrete placement,replace damaged or deteriorated forms which are
incapable of supporting concrete dead load plus construction live loads.
3.05 PREPARATION OF FORM SURFACES
A. Clean surfaces of forms and embedded materials before placing concrete. Remove
accumulated mortar, grout, rust and other foreign matter.
B. Coat forms for exposed or painted concrete surfaces with form oil or form-release
agent before placing reinforcement. Cover form surfaces with coating material in
accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions. Do not allow excess coating
material to accumulate in forms or to contact hardened concrete against which fresh
concrete will be placed. Remove coating material from reinforcement before placing
concrete.
C. Forms for unexposed surfaces, other than retained-in-place metal forms, may be wet
with water immediately before concrete placement in lieu of coating. When possibility
of freezing temperatures exists, however,the use of coating is mandatory.
3.06 INSTALLATION OF REINFORCEMENT
A. Placement Tolerances: Place reinforcement within tolerances of Table 03210A at the
end of this Section. Bend tie wire away from forms to maintain the specified concrete
coverage.
B. Interferences: Maintain 2-inch clearance from embedded items. Where reinforcing

without approval of the Engineer.
C. Concrete Cover: Provide clear cover measured from reinforcement to face of concrete
as listed in Table 03210B at the end of this Section, unless otherwise indicated on
Plans.
D. Placement in Forms: Use spacers,chairs,wire ties and other accessory items necessary
to assemble,space,and support reinforcing properly. Provide accessories of sufficient
number, size and strength to prevent deflection or displacement of reinforcement due
to construction loads or concrete placement. Use appropriate accessories to position
and support bolts, anchors and other embedded items. Tie reinforcing bars at each
intersection, and to accessories. Blocking reinforcement with concrete or masonry is
prohibited.
E. Placement for Concrete on Ground: Support bar and wire reinforcement on chairs with
sheet metal bases or precast concrete blocks spaced at approximately 3 feet on centers
each way. Use minimum of one support for each 9 square feet. Tie supports to
reinforcing bars and wires.
F. Vertical Reinforcement in Columns: Offset vertical bars by at least one bar diameter at
splices. Provide accurate templates for column dowels to ensure proper placement.
G. Splices:
1. Do not splice bars, except at locations indicated on Plans or reviewed Shop
Drawings, without approval of the Engineer.
2. Lap Splices: Unless otherwise shown or noted, Class B, conforming to ACI
318-89, Section 12.15.1. Tie securely with wire prior to concrete placement,to
prevent displacement of splices during concrete placement.

3.08 HANDLING, TRANSPORTING AND PLACING CONCRETE 1
A. Conform to applicable requirements of this Section and Chapter 8 of ACI 301-
99:Specifications for Structural Concrete—IP,Chapter 8. Use no aluminum materials
in conveying concrete.
B. Rejected Work: Remove concrete found to be defective or non-conforming in
materials or workmanship. Replace rejected concrete with concrete meeting
requirements of Contract Documents, at no additional cost to the Owner.
C. Unauthorized Placement: Place no concrete except in the presence of the Engineer.
Notify the Engineer in writing at least 24 hours before placement of concrete.
D. Placement in Wall Forms:
1. Do not drop concrete through reinforcing steel.
2. Do not place concrete in any form so as to leave an accumulation of mortar on
form surfaces above the concrete.
3. Pump concrete or use hoppers and, if necessary, vertical ducts of canvas,
rubber or metal (other than aluminum) for placing concrete in forms so it
reaches the place of final deposit without separation. Free fall of concrete shall n
not exceed 4 feet below the ends of pump hoses, ducts, chutes or buggies.
Unifoiiuly distribute concrete during depositing.
4. Do not displace concrete in forms more than 6 feet in horizontal direction from
place where it was originally deposited.
5. Deposit in uniform horizontal layers not deeper than 2 feet;take care to avoid
inclined layers or inclined construction joints except where required for sloping
members.
6. Place each layer while the previous layer is still soft.
7. Provide sufficient illumination in form interior so concrete at places of deposit
is visible from the deck or runway.
E. Conveyors and Chutes: Design and arrange ends of chutes, hopper gates and other
points of concrete discharge in the conveying,hoisting and placing system so concrete
passing from them will not fall separated into whatever receptacle immediately
receives it. Conveyors, if used, shall be of a type acceptable to the Engineer. Do not
use chutes longer than 50 feet. Slope chutes so concrete of specified consistency will
readily flow. If a conveyor is used,it shall be wiped clean by a device operated in such
a manner that none of the mortar adhering to the belt will be wasted. All conveyors -7
and chutes shall be covered.
5/2013 03300-22 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
F. Placement of Slabs: In hot or windy weather, conducive to plastic shrinkage cracks,
apply evaporation retardant to slab after screeding in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations. Do not use evaporation retardant to increase water
content of the surface cement paste. Place concrete for sloping slabs uniformly from
the bottom of the slab to the top, for the full width of the placement. As work
progresses,vibrate and carefully work concrete around slab reinforcement. Screed the
slab surface in an up-slope direction.
G. When adverse weather conditions affect quality of concrete, postpone concrete
placement. Do not mix concrete when the air temperature is at or below 40 degrees F
and falling. Concrete may be mixed when temperature is 35 degrees F and rising.
Take temperature readings in the shade, away from artificial heat. Protect concrete
from temperatures below 32 degrees F until the concrete has cured for a minimum of 3
days at 70 degrees F or 5 days at 50 degrees F.
When concrete temperature is 85 degrees F or above, do not exceed 60 minutes
between introduction of cement to the aggregates and discharge. When the weather is
such that the concrete temperature would exceed 90 degrees F, employ effective
means, such as pre-cooling of aggregates and mixing water, using ice or placing at
night, as necessary to maintain concrete temperature, as placed,below 90 degrees F.
3.09 PUMPING OF CONCRETE
A. If pumped concrete does not produce satisfactory results, in the judgment of the
Engineer, discontinue pumping operations and proceed with the placing of concrete
using conventional methods.
B. Pumping Equipment: Use a 2-cylinder pump designed to operate with only one
cylinder if one is not functioning, or have a standby pump on site during pumping.
C. The minimum hose (conduit) diameter: Comply with ACI 304.2R-96:Placing
Concrete by Pumping Methods.
D. Replace pumping equipment and hoses (conduits) that do not function properly.
E. Do not use aluminum conduits for conveying concrete.
F. Field Quality Control: Take samples for slump, air content and test cylinders at the
placement (discharge) end of the line.
3.10 CONCRETE PLACEMENT SEQUENCE
A. Place concrete in a sequence acceptable to the Engineer. To minimize effects of
shrinkage, place concrete in units bounded by construction joints shown. Place
alternate units so each unit placed has cured at least 7 days for hydraulic structures,or
3 days for other structures, before contiguous unit or units are placed, except do not
5/2013 03300-23 of38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
place corner sections of vertical walls until the 2 adjacent wall panels have cured at
least 14 days for hydraulic structures and 7 days for other structures.
B. Level the concrete surface whenever a run of concrete is stopped. To ensure straight
and level joints on the exposed surface of walls, tack a wood strip at least 3/4-inch
thick to the forms on these surfaces. Carry concrete about 1/2 inch above the
underside of the strip. About one hour after concrete is placed,remove the strip,level
irregularities in the edge formed by the strip with a trowel and remove laitance.
3.11 TAMPING AND VIBRATING
A. Thoroughly settle and compact concrete throughout the entire depth of the layer being
consolidated, into a dense, homogeneous mass; fill corners and angles, thoroughly
embed reinforcement,eliminate rock pockets and bring only a slight excess of water to
the exposed surface of concrete during placement. Use ACI 309R-96:Guide for
Consolidation of Concrete, Group 3, immersion-type high-speed power vibrators
(8,000 to 12,000 rpm) in sufficient number and with sufficient(at least one) standby
units. Use Group 2 vibrators only when accepted by the Engineer for specific
locations. Do not transport concrete by vibrating.
B. Use care in placing concrete around waterstops. Carefully work concrete by rodding
and vibrating to make sure air and rock pockets have been eliminated. Where flat-strip
type waterstops are placed horizontally, work concrete under waterstops by hand,
making sure air and rock pockets have been eliminated. Give concrete surrounding the
waterstops additional vibration beyond that used for adjacent concrete placement to
assure complete embedment of waterstops in concrete.
C. Concrete in Walls: Internally vibrate, ram, stir, or work with suitable appliances,
tamping bars, shovels or forked tools until concrete completely fills forms or
excavations and closes snugly against all surfaces. Do not place subsequent layers of
concrete until previously-placed layers have been so worked. Provide vibrators in
sufficient numbers,with standby units as required,to accomplish the results specified
within 15 minutes after concrete of specified consistency is placed in the forms. Keep
vibrating heads from contact with form surfaces. Take care not to vibrate concrete
excessively or to work it in any manner that causes segregation of its constituents.
3.12 PLACING MASS CONCRETE
A. Observe the following additional restrictions when placing mass concrete.
1. Use specified superplasticizer.
2. Maximum temperature of concrete when deposited: 70 degrees F. -�
3. Place in lifts approximately 18 inches thick. Extend vibrator heads into �l
previously-placed layer.

tolerances or specified requirements.
B. Repair or replacement of defective concrete will be determined by the Engineer.
C. Do not patch, fill, touch-up,repair, or replace exposed concrete except upon express
direction of Engineer for each individual area.
3.26 CURING
A. Comply with ACI 308.1-98:Standard Specifications for Curing Concrete. Cure by
preventing loss of moisture, rapid temperature change and mechanical injury for a
period of 7 curing days when Type II or IP cement has been used and for 3 curing days
when Type III cement has been used. Start curing as soon as free water has
disappeared from the concrete surface after placing and finishing. A curing day is any
calendar day in which the temperature is above 50 degrees F for at least 19 hours.
Colder days may be counted if air temperature adjacent to concrete is maintained
above 50 degrees F. In continued cold weather, when artificial heat is not provided,
removal of forms and shoring may be permitted at the end of calendar days equal to
twice the required number of curing days. However, leave soffit forms and shores in
place until concrete has reached the specified 28-day strength, unless directed
otherwise by the Engineer.
B. Cure formed surfaces not requiring rub-finished surface by leaving forms in place for
the full curing period. Keep wood forms wet during the curing period. Add water as
5/2013 03300-32 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
needed for other types of forms. Or, at Contractor's option, forms may be removed
after 2 days and curing compound applied.
C. Rubbed Finish:
1. At formed surfaces requiring rubbed finish, remove forms as soon as
practicable without damaging the surface.
2. After rub-finish operations are complete, continue curing formed surfaces by
using either approved curing/sealing compounds or moist cotton mats until
normal curing period is complete.
D. Unformed Surfaces: Cure by membrane curing compound method.
1. After concrete has received a final finish and surplus water sheen has
disappeared, immediately seal-surface with.a uniform coating of approved
curing compound, applied at the rate of coverage recommended by
manufacturer or as directed by the Engineer. Do not apply less than 1 gallon
per 180 square feet of area. Provide satisfactory means to properly control and
check rate of application of the compound.
2. Thoroughly agitate the compound during use and apply by means of approved
mechanical power pressure.sprayers, equipped-with atomizing nozzles. For
application on small miscellaneous items,hand-powered spray equipment may
be used. Prevent loss of compound between nozzle and concrete surface
during spraying operations.
3. Do not apply compound to a dry surface. If concrete surface has become dry,
thoroughly moisten surface immediately prior to application. At locations
where coating shows discontinuities,pinholes or other defects, or if rain falls
on a newly coated surface before film has dried sufficiently to resist damage,
apply an additional coat of compound at the specified rate of coverage.
3.27 CURING MASS CONCRETE
A. Observe the following additional restrictions when curing mass concrete.
1. Minimum curing period: 2 weeks.
2. When ambient air temperature falls below 32 degrees F, protect surface of
concrete against freezing.
3. Do not use steam or other curing methods that will add heat to concrete.
4. Keep forms and exposed concrete continuously wet for at least the first 48
hours after placing, and whenever surrounding air temperature is above 90
degrees F during final curing period.
5/2013 03300-33 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
5. During 2-week curing period,provide necessary controls to prevent ambient air )
temperature immediately adjacent to concrete from falling more than 30
degrees F in 24 hours.
3.28 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A. Time Limits:
1. When repair of surface defects or finishing is required before concrete is aged,
forms on vertical surfaces may be removed as soon as concrete has hardened
sufficiently to resist damage from removal operations.
2. Remove top forms on sloping surfaces of concrete as soon as concrete has
attained sufficient stiffness to prevent sagging. Loosen wood forms for wall
openings as soon as this can be accomplished without damage to concrete.
Leave formwork for water-retaining structures in place for at least 2 days.
Formwork for non-water-retaining columns, walls, sides of beams and other
formwork components not supporting weight of concrete may be removed after
12 hours, provided concrete has hardened sufficiently to resist damage from
removal operations, and provided removal of forms will not disturb members
supporting weight of concrete.
3. Forms and shoring supporting weight of concrete or construction loads: Leave
in place until concrete has reached minimum strength specified for removal of
forms and shoring. Do not remove such forms in less than 4 days.
B. Circular Paper or Spiral Tube Forms: Follow manufacturer's directions for form
removal. Take necessary precautions to prevent damage to concrete surface. When
removal is done before completion of curing time,replace form,tie in place,and seal
to retard escape of moisture.
C. Removal Strength:
1. Control Tests: Suitable strength-control tests will be required as evidence that
concrete has attained specified strength for removal of formwork or shoring
supporting weight of concrete in beams, slabs and other structural members.
Furnish test cylinders and data to verify strength for early form removal.
a. Field-cured Test Cylinders: When field-cured test cylinders reach
specified removal strength,foiiuwork or shoring may be removed from
respective concrete placements.
b. Laboratory-cured Test Cylinders: When concrete has been cured as
specified for structural concrete for same time period required by
laboratory-cured cylinders to reach specified strength, formwork or
shoring may be removed from respective concrete placements.
5/2013 03300-34 of 38
CITY OF PEARLAND CAST-IN=PLACE CONCRETE
Determine length of time that concrete has been cured by totaling the
days or fractions of days,not necessarily consecutive,during which air
temperature surrounding concrete is above 50 degrees F and concrete
has been damp or thoroughly sealed against evaporation and loss of
moisture.
2. Compressive Strengths: The minimum concrete compressive strength for
removal of formwork supporting weight of concrete is 75 percent of specified
minimum 28-day strength for class of concrete involved.
3.29 RESHORING
A. When reshoring is permitted, plan operations in advance and obtain the Engineer's
approval of such operations. While reshoring is under way, keep live load off new
construction. Do not permit concrete in any beam, slab, column or other structural
member to be subjected to combined dead and construction loads in excess of loads
permitted for developed concrete strength at time of reshoring.
B. Place reshores as soon as practicable after form-stripping operations are complete but
in no case later than end of day on which stripping occurs. Tighten reshores to carry
required loads without over stressing construction. Leave reshores in place until tests
representative of concrete being supported have reached specified strength at time of
removal of formwork supporting weight of concrete.
C. Floors supporting shores under newly-placed concrete: Leave original supporting
shores in place, or re-shore. Locate reshores directly under shore position above.
Extend reshoring over a sufficient number of stories to distribute weight of newly-
placed concrete, forms. and-construction-live loads in such manner that design
superimposed loads of floors supporting shores are not exceeded.
3.30 FORM REUSE
A. Do not reuse forms that are worn or damaged beyond repair. Thoroughly clean and
recoat forms before reuse. For wood and plywood forms to be used for exposed
smooth finish,sand or otherwise dress concrete contact surface to original condition or
provide form liner facing material. For metal forms,-straighten, remove dents and
clean to return forms to original condition.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A geotechnical investigation was conducted for ARKK Engineers for the abandonment of
two lift stations in City of Pearland, Texas.
The project calls for the abandonment of lift stations and design and construction of
approximately 765 linear feet (1f) of 8-inch sanitary sewer (approximately 13 feet deep) along
King Authors Court from Somersetshire Lift Station to tie into South Hampton Lift Station and
approximately 7701f of 12-inch sanitary sewer(approximately 14 to 15 feet deep) along N. West
Oak Circle easement from West Oaks Lift Station to tie into existing sanitary sewer manhole at
Harkey Road.
The proposed sewer lines will generally be constructed by open cut excavations except at
easement crossing and pipelines crossing where it will be installed by augering.
This study included drilling and sampling a total of three (3) soil borings to depths
ranging from 23 feet to 25 feet, performing laboratory tests on samples recovered from borings,
performing engineering analyses and preparing a geotechnical report.
The principal findings and conclusions developed from this investigation are
summarized below:
• The existing pavement as revealed by boring GB-1 consists of 1.5 inches of asphalt
over 4.5 inches of brown sand and limestone mix. The borings GB-2 and GB-3 were
drilled in the grass area.
• The subsurface conditions as encountered in borings GB-1 through GB-3 below the
existing pavement and/or existing ground consists of cohesive soils underlain by
cohesionless soils to the explored depths of 23 to 25 feet. The cohesive soils include

2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
Subsurface conditions at the project area were investigated by drilling three (3) soil
borings (GB-1 through GB-3) to depths ranging from 23 to 25 feet below existing grade. The
depths of the borings drilled are provided in Table 1. The borings were drilled with a truck-
mounted rotary drilling rig. The boring locations are shown on Figures 2.1 and 2.2, Plan of
Borings. The survey information (Station number, offset and elevations) for the borings drilled
were interpolated from the drawings provided by ARKK Engineers.
Samples were taken at continuous 2-foot intervals to a depth of 20 feet, and at 5-foot
intervals thereafter. In general, cohesive samples were obtained with a 3-inch diameter thin-
walled tube sampler in general accordance with ASTM Method D 1587 and cohesionless soils
were obtained with 2-inch split barrel sampler in general accordance with ASTM Method D
1586. Each soil sample was removed from the sampler in the field, carefully examined and
logged by an experienced soils technician. Suitable portions of each sample were then sealed
and packaged for transportation to Geotest's laboratory. The undrained shear strength of
cohesive soil samples were estimated using a calibrated hand penetrometer in the field. Driving
resistances for split-barrel samples were recorded as "blows per foot" on the boring logs. After
taking water level measurements all the borings were grouted with cement bentonite grout.
Detailed descriptions of the soils encountered at the project site are given on the boring
logs GB-1 through GB-3 and are presented on Figures A-1 through A-3 in Appendix A. A key
to symbols and terms used on the boring logs is given on Figure A-4 in Appendix A.

City ofPearland, Texas
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
The laboratory testing program was designed to evaluate the pertinent physical properties
and shear strength characteristics of the subsurface soils. Classification tests were performed on
selected samples to aid in soil classification.
Undrained shear strengths of selected cohesive samples were measured by
unconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial compression (ASTM D2850) tests. The results of the
UU triaxial compression tests are plotted on the boring logs as solid rectangles. The shear
strength of cohesive samples was measured in the field with a calibrated hand penetrometer and
also in the laboratory with a Torvane. The shear strength values obtained from the penetrometer
and Torvane are plotted on the boring logs as open circles and triangles, respectively.
Moisture content and dry unit weight were routinely measured for each UU triaxial
compression test sample. Moisture content (ASTM D2216) measurements were also made on
other samples to establish the moisture profile at each boring location. The liquid and plastic
limit tests (ASTM D4318) were performed on selected soil samples to measure plasticity
characteristics. Percent fines (passing No. 200 sieve) (ASTM D 1140) tests and sieve analyses
(ASTM D422) tests were performed on selected samples. The results of all tests are plotted or
summarized on the boring logs GB-1 through GB-3 presented on Figures A-1 through A-3 in
Appendix A. The grain size distribution curves are presented on Figure B-1.

4.0 GENERAL SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 Existing Pavement Section
The existing pavement as revealed by boring GB-1 consists of 1.5 inches of asphalt over
4.5 inches of brown sand and limestone mix. The borings GB-2 and GB-3 were drilled in the
grass area.
4.2 Site Geology
The project site lies in Beaumont Formation. The clays and sands of the Beaumont
Formation are over-consolidated as a result of desiccation from frequent rising and lowering of the
sea level and the groundwater table. Consequently, clays of this formation have moderate to high
shear strength and relatively low compressibility. The sands of the Beaumont Formation are
typically very fine and often silty. There is evidence in the Houston area of the occurrence.of
(11166' cemented material(sandstone and siltstone)deposits within this formation.
4.3 Soil Stratigraphy
Based on the subsurface soils encountered in borings drilled for this study (GB-1 through
GB-3), two (2) boring log profiles were developed and are presented on Figures 3.1 and 3.2. The
symbols and abbreviations used on boring log profile is given on Figure 4. To the left of boring
shown on the profile is an indication of consistency or density of each stratum. More than one
consistency for an individual stratum indicates that the consistency varies within the stratum.
For cohesive soils, consistency is related to the undrained shear strength of the soils and for
granular soils, the consistency is related to the relative density of the soil. To the right of each
boring shown on the profile is the overall classification of the soil contained within each stratum.
The classification is based on ASTM D2487.
The subsurface conditions as encountered in borings GB-1 through B-3 below the
existing pavement and/or existing ground consists of cohesive soils underlain by cohesionless
soils to the explored depths of 23 to 25 feet. The cohesive soils include medium stiff to very stiff
7

City ofPearland, Texas
gray, brown and yellowish brown fat clay with sand, sandy fat clay, lean clay with sand, sandy
lean clay and very sandy lean clay. The cohesionless soils include loose to medium dense brown
sandy silt and silty sand.
The Fat Clay and Sandy Fat Clay is of high plasticity with liquid limits ranging from 52 to
58 and plasticity indices ranging from 32 to 35. The Lean Clay with sand is of high plasticity with a
liquid limit of about 49 and a plasticity index of 29. The percent fines (passing No. 200 sieve) of
silty sand is about 18 percent. The percent fines of sandy silt ranges from 54 to 70 percent. The
percent fines of sandy fat clay is about 65 percent. The percent fines of lean clay with sand and fat
clay with sand ranges from 79 to 80 percent.
4.4 Groundwater
Groundwater was encountered at a depth of 12 feet during drilling in all the borings. The
groundwater level, measured 20 minutes after water was first encountered, is at depth of 6 feet in
these borings.
However, various environmental and man made factors such as the amount of
precipitation, changes in drainage and adjacent construction activities can substantially influence
the depth of ground water.

5.0 GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
The project calls for the abandonment of lift stations and design and construction of
approximately 765 linear feet (1f) of 8-inch sanitary sewer (approximately 13 feet deep) along
King Authors Court from Somersetshire Lift Station to tie into South Hampton Lift Station and
approximately 770 if of 12-inch sanitary sewer(approximately 14 to. 15 feet deep) along N. West
Oak Circle easement from West Oaks Lift Station to tie into existing sanitary sewer manhole at
Harkey Road.
The proposed sewer lines will generally be constructed by open cut excavations except at
easement crossing and pipelines crossing where it will be installed by augering.
5.2 Open-Cut Excavations
The following subsections provide 'information for the design and construction of the
proposed sanitary sewer installation for the excavations required for the proposed open cut and
auger pits.
5.2.1 Geotechnical Parameters. Based on the soil conditions revealed by the borings
GB-1 through GB-3, geotechnical parameters were developed for the proposed sanitary sewer
for open cut method of construction and auger pits. The design parameters are provided in Table
2. For design, the groundwater level should be assumed to exist at the ground surface, since this
condition may exist after a heavy rain or flooding.
5.2.2 Excavation Stability. The open excavation may be shored, laid back to a stable
slope or some other equivalent means used to provide safety for workers and adjacent structures.
The excavating operations should be in accordance with OSHA Standards, OSHA 2207, Subpart

• Excavation Shallower Than 5 Feet - Excavations that are less than 5—foot deep should be
appropriately protected when any indication of hazardous ground movement is
anticipated.
• Excavations Deeper Than 5 Feet - Excavations that are deeper than 5 feet should be
sloped, shored, shielded or provided with some other appropriate means of protection
where workers might be exposed to moving ground or cave-ins. The slopes and shoring
should be in accordance with the trench safety requirements per OSHA Standards. The
following items provide design criteria for trench stability.
(i) OSHA Soil Type. Based on soil conditions revealed by the borings drilled for
this study and assumed groundwater level at surface, OSHA soil type "C" may be
used for determination of allowable maximum slope and/or the design of shoring
for full proposed depth of open excavation.
(ii) Excavation Support Earth Pressure. Lateral earth pressure diagram was
developed based on the subsurface conditions indicated by our field and
laboratory investigations. The earth pressure diagrams developed for excavation
support is presented on Figures 5.1 and 5.2. The pressure diagrams can be used
for the design of temporary trench bracing. Design of trench boxes for resisting
lateral earth pressure can be based on an equivalent fluid unit weight of 94 pcf.
The computation of the equivalent fluid pressure assumes that groundwater level
is at ground surface, since these conditions may exist after a heavy rain or
flooding. The effects of 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.
(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
10

soils and the groundwater level at the interior of the trench excavation. For cut in
cohesive soils as encountered in all of the borings up to 10 feet, the bottom
stability can be evaluated as outlined on Figure 6. However due to cohesionless
soils (such as silty sand and sandy silt) as encountered in all the borings (GB-1
through GB-3) at depth below 10 feet, the excavation should be done after
dewatering to avoid bottom stability problems.
5.2.3 Groundwater Control. Excavations for the open cut for the proposed sanitary
sewer may encounter ground water seepage to varying degrees depending upon ground water
conditions at the time of construction and the location and depth of excavation. In cohesive
soils, as encountered in all the borings up to 10 feet, the ground water may be managed by
collection in trench bottom sumps for pumped disposal. In cohesionless soils (such as silty sand
and sandy silt) as encountered in all the borings below 10 feet, dewatering such as vacuum well
points up to 15 feet or deep wells with submersible pumps for excavation greater than 15 feet
may be required to lower the groundwater level to at least 5 feet below the bottom of the
excavation
It is recommended that the contractor should verify groundwater level at the time of
construction and should provide an adequate ground water control, where required. The
groundwater control should be performed in accordance with the City of Pearland Specification
Section 01564 "Control of Ground Water and Surface Water".
5.2.4 Bedding and Backfill for Sanitary Sewer. The bedding and backfill for the sanitary
sewer should be performed in accordance with the City of Pearland Specification Section 02318
"Excavation and Backfill for Utilities."
5.2.5 Live Loads on Pipe Due to Traffic. Loads on pipe due to traffic should be
considered. A graph providing calculated vertical stress on pipe due to traffic loads is given on
Figure 7.

5.3 Trenchless Installation
The proposed sanitary sewer line will be installed by auger method at easement crossing
and pipelines crossing where it will be installed by augering.
5.3.1 Geotechnical Parameters for Trenchless Installation. Based on the soil conditions
revealed by borings GB-1 through GB-3 and laboratory test data, geotechnical design parameters
were developed for cohesive soils and cohesionless soils and are provided in Table 3. The
cohesive soils include fat clay with sand, sandy fat clay, lean clay with sand and sandy lean clay.
The cohesionless soils include silty sand and sandy silt. For design conditions, the groundwater
levels should be assumed to exist at the ground surface.
5.3.2 Earth Pressure on Pipe and Casing. The earth pressures on the pipe and casing
augering should be determined from Figure 8. Equations to calculate the tunnel liner loads are
also shown in Figure 8. For pipe crossing under the major roads, the stress due to traffic loads
should be considered. The relationship between the depth of pipe and the vertical stress on the
pipe due to traffic live loads is provided on Figure 7.
5.3.3 Auger Pit Excavation and Backfill. The Auger pits should be excavated and
backfilled per the City of Pearland Specifications 02415, "Augering Pipe or Casing for Sewers".
5.3.4 Carrier Pipe Design Parameters. Carrier pipe must be sufficiently strong to
withstand anticipated long-term ground loads and must not be subject to deterioration by
substance either in the ground or in the tunnel. The carrier pipe design should include
consideration of not only the loads applied to the pipe but also factors other than soil loading.
These factors could include minimum structural code requirements, loading from pipe jacking
operations and other construction loads. The drained geotechnical design parameters given in
Table 3 should be used in analyzing the soil structure intersection of the carrier pipe.

5.3.5 Influence of Tunneling on Adjacent Structures. Surface and near-surface
structures near the tunnel alignment consist primarily of private property, 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.
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
augering will be primarily through silty sand and sandy silts. The ground may be expected to
behave as raveling to running near the invert. Hence, extra precautions such as dewatering 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.
The proposed sanitary sewer is parallel with or cross beneath a number of water, gas,
power, telephone, and storm sewer 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 rehabilitation and to accommodate all of these interactions
13

with the use of good construction methods.
5.4 Structures
5.4.1 Description. The structures associated with this project will be manholes along the
sanitary sewer line.
5.4.2 Foundation Conditions. Based on the soil conditions revealed by borings GB-1
through GB-3 the structure bases (new manholes) will be in silty sand. The geotechnical design
parameters were developed and are given in Tables 2 and 3.
5.4.3 Foundation Design Recommendations. The following items provide
recommendations and design criteria for construction of new manholes.
Allowable Bearing Pressures.
• The bases of structures placed at approximate depths ranging from 13 to 15 feet
for manholes at various locations may be proportioned for an allowable (net)
bearing pressure as given below.
Street Station No. Nearest Foundation Allowable (Net)
Boring No. Depths, feet Bearing

The allowable bearing pressures include a safety factor of 2.0. The above recommendation
assumes that the final bearing surfaces consist of undisturbed natural soils and that
underlying semi-transmissive zones are properly pressure-relieved.

• Bottom Stability. Bottom stability is described earlier in Section 5.2.2
under Excavation Stability.
• Lateral Earth Pressure. The pressure diagrams presented on Figures 5.1
and 5.2 can be used for the design of braced excavation. The lateral earth
pressure diagrams presented on Figures 9.1 and 9.2 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 10.
In determining the configuration and dimensions of the structure using one of the approaches
presented on Figure 10,the following factors of safety are recommended.
a. Dead weight of concrete structure, Sfl = 1.10,
b. Weight of soil (backfill) above base extension, Sf2= 1.5, and
c. Soil-wall friction, So = 3.0.
Friction resistance should be discounted for the upper 5 feet since this zone is affected
by seasonal moisture changes.

Abandonment of Two Lift Stations March 24, 2014
City of Pearland, Texas
5.4.4 Structure Backfill. Excavations for the proposed structures (manholes)
should be backfilled in accordance with City of Pearland Specification Section 02317
"Excavation and Backfill for structures."
5.4.5 Protection of Below Grade Structures. The design of the proper means for
protection of below grade structures will depend upon the potential of the aggressively 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.
5.4.6 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.

6.0 PROVISIONS
The description of subsurface conditions and the design information contained in this
report are based on the test borings made at the time of drilling at specific locations. Some
variation in soil conditions may occur between test borings. Should any subsurface conditions
other than those described in our boring logs be encountered, Geotest should be immediately
notified so that further investigation and supplemental recommendations can be provided.
The depth of the groundwater level may vary with changes in environmental conditions
such as frequency and magnitude of rainfall. The stratification lines on the log of borings
represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. Transitions between soil types may be
more gradual than depicted.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of ARKK Engineers for the
