biologist or ecologist, general, clearing, and/or earthwork contractors, and the landscape contractor.
The approved plans and specifications shall be reviewed to ensure that all parties involved
understand the intent and the specific details related to the construction documents, specifications,
and site constraints.
1.1.1.3. Locations of existing utilities have been established by field survey or obtained from available
records and should be considered approximate only and not necessarily complete. It is the sole
responsibility of the contractor to: (1) independently verify the accuracy of utility locations and (2)
discover and avoid any utilities within the mitigation plan area(s) that are not shown, but which may
be affected by implementation of the plan. Such area(s) are to be clearly marked in the field. The
project biologist or ecologist shall review any conflicts with the approved grading plan prior to start
of construction.
1.1.1.4. A copy of the approved plans must be on-site whenever construction is in progress, and shall remain
on-site until project completion.
1.1.1.5. Construction must be performed in accordance with all agency standards, rules, codes, permit
conditions, and/or other applicable ordinances and policies.
1.1.1.6. Work below the ordinary high water line shall occur within the authorized window of the Hydraulic
Project Approval (HPA) and other permits.
