Design and Construction Handbook - Los Angeles World Airports

1. Sediments or other surface water quality pollutants shall not be discharged to
a storm drain system or receiving waters.
2. Sediments and other surface water quality pollutants generated on the Work
site shall be contained on the Work site using appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs).
3. No construction-related materials, waste, spill, or residue shall be discharged
form the Work site to streets, drainage facilities, receiving waters, or adjacent
property by wind or runoff.
4. Non-storm water runoff form equipment, vehicle washing, or any other activity
shall be contained within the Work site using appropriate BMPs.
5. Erosion shall be prevented. Erosion susceptible slopes, shall be covered,
planted or otherwise protected in a way that prevents discharge from the
Work site.
Best Management Practices (BMP)
A. The Contractor shall implement and maintain such BMPs as are relevant to the
Work.
B. The Contractor shall be responsible throughout the duration of the Contract for
installing, constructing, inspecting, maintaining, removing and disposing of BMPs.
Unless otherwise directed by LAWA, the Contractor shall be responsible for BMP
implementation and maintenance throughout any temporary suspension of the
Work.
C. All projects, regardless of size, shall implement the following good housekeeping
BMPs to reduce the discharge of pollutants from construction sites to the
maximum extent practicable:
a. Eroded sediments and other pollutants must be retained on Site and
may not be transported from the Site via sheet flow, swales, area
drains, or natural drainage.
b. Stockpiles of earth and other construction-related materials must be
protected from being transported from the Site by water.
c. Fuels, oils, solvents, and other toxic substances originating from the
Contractor's operations shall not be allowed to enter the ground water
or be placed where they will enter a live stream, channel, drain, or
other water conveyance facility. Spills may not be washed into the live
streams, channels, drains, or other water conveyance facilities.
d. Such features as drainage gutters, slope protection blankets, and
retention basins shall be constructed concurrently with other Work and
at the earliest practical time. The Contractor shall exercise care to
preserve vegetation beyond the limits of construction.
e. Excess or waste concrete may not be washed into the public way or
any drainage system. Provisions shall be made to retain concrete
wastes on-site until it can be appropriately disposed of or recycled.
f. Trash and construction-related solid wastes must be deposited into a
covered receptacle to prevent contamination of rainwater and dispersal
by wind.
g. Sediments and other materials may not be tracked from the Site by
vehicle traffic. The construction entrance roadways must be stabilized
so as to inhibit sediments from being deposited into the public ways.
Accidental depositions must be swept up immediately and may not be
