individuals or entities for the performance of the Work if required by the Bidding
Documents to do so. If a prospective Bidder objects to retaining any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, and the concern is not

Bidder or Contractor to retain any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or
entity against which Contractor has reasonable objection.

qualification for each such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity. If
Owner or Engineer, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any
proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity, Owner may, before the
Notice of Award is given, request apparent Successful Bidder to submit an
acceptable substitute, in which case apparent Successful Bidder shall submit a
substitute, Bidder's Bid price will be increased (or decreased) by the difference in
cost occasioned by such substitution, and Owner may consider such price
adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the Contract award.
1.25 If apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, Owner may
award the Contract to the next lowest Bidder that proposes to use acceptable
Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals or entities. Declining to make
requested substitutions will constitute grounds for forfeiture of the Bid security of
any Bidder. Any Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity so listed and against
which Owner or Engineer makes no written objection prior to the giving of the
Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer subject to
subsequent revocation of such acceptance as provided in Paragraph 7.06 of the

qualifications of the Bidder and may consider the qualifications and experience of
Subcontractors and Suppliers proposed for those portions of the Work for which

G. In addition to the liability insurance required to be provided by Contractor, the Owner, at
Owner's option, may purchase and maintain Owner's own liability insurance.Owner's liability
policies, if any, operate separately and independently from policies required to be provided
by Contractor, and Contractor cannot rely upon Owner's liability policies for any of
Contractor's obligations to the Owner, Engineer,or third parties.
H. Contractor shall require:
1. Subcontractors to purchase and maintain worker's compensation, commercial general
liability, and other insurance that is appropriate for their participation in the Project,and
to name as additional insureds Owner and Engineer(and any other individuals or entities
identified in the Supplementary Conditions as additional insureds on Contractor's liability
policies) on each Subcontractor's commercial general liability insurance policy;and
2. Suppliers to purchase and maintain insurance that is appropriate for their participation in
the Project.
I. If either party does not purchase or maintain the insurance required of such party by the
Contract,such party shall notify the other party in writing of such failure to purchase prior to
the start of the Work, or of such failure to maintain prior to any change in the required
coverage.
J. If Contractor has failed to obtain and maintain required insurance, Contractor's entitlement
to enter or remain at the Site will end immediately, and Owner may impose an appropriate
set-off against payment for any associated costs (including but not limited to the cost of
purchasing necessary insurance coverage), and exercise Owner's termination rights under
Article 16.
K. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if a party has failed to obtain required
insurance, the other party may elect (but is in no way obligated) to obtain equivalent
insurance to protect such other party's interests at the expense of the party who was required
to provide such coverage, and the Contract Price will be adjusted accordingly.

7.05 "Or Equals"
A. Contractor's Request; Governing Criteria: Whenever an item of equipment or material is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the names of one or more
proprietary items or specific Suppliers, the Contract Price has been based upon Contractor
furnishing such item as specified.The specification or description of such an item is intended
to establish the type,function, appearance, and quality required. Unless the specification or
description contains or is followed by words reading that no like, equivalent, or "or equal"
item is permitted, Contractor may request that Engineer authorize the use of other items of
equipment or material, or items from other proposed Suppliers, under the circumstances
described below.
1. If Engineer in its sole discretion determines that an item of equipment or material
proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and sufficiently similar so that
no change in related Work will be required, Engineer will deem it an "or equal" item. For
the purposes of this paragraph, a proposed item of equipment or material will be
considered functionally equal to an item so named if:
a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment Engineer determines that the proposed item:
1) is at least equal in materials of construction, quality, durability, appearance,
strength, and design characteristics;
EJCDC®C-700,Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.
Copyright°2018 National Society of Professional Engineers,American Council of Engineering Companies,
and American Society of Civil Engineers.All rights reserved.
00 7213-Page 28 of 70
2) will reliably perform at least equally well the function and achieve the results
imposed by the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole;
3) has a proven record of performance and availability of responsive service; and
4) is not objectionable to Owner.
b. Contractor certifies that, if the proposed item is approved and incorporated into the
Work:
1) there will be no increase in cost to the Owner or increase in Contract Times; and
2) the item will conform substantially to the detailed requirements of the item
named in the Contract Documents.
B. Contractor's Expense:Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed "or equal"
item at Contractor's expense.
C. Engineer's Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to
evaluate each "or-equal" request. Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data
about the proposed "or-equal" item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No "or-
equal"item will be ordered,furnished,installed,or utilized until Engineer's review is complete
and Engineer determines that the proposed item is an "or-equal,"which will be evidenced by
an approved Shop Drawing or other written communication. Engineer will advise Contractor
in writing of any negative determination.
D. Effect of Engineer's Determination: Neither approval nor denial of an "or-equal" request will
result in any change in Contract Price. The Engineer's denial of an "or-equal" request will be
final and binding, and may not be reversed through an appeal under any provision of the
Contract.
E. Treatment as a Substitution Request: If Engineer determines that an item of equipment or
material proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an "or-equal" item, Contractor may
request that Engineer consider the item a proposed substitute pursuant to Paragraph 7.06.
7.06 Substitutes
A. Contractor's Request;Governing Criteria: Unless the specification or description of an item of
equipment or material required to be furnished under the Contract Documents contains or is
followed by words reading that no substitution is permitted, Contractor may request that
Engineer authorize the use of other items of equipment or material under the circumstances
described below.To the extent possible such requests must be made before commencement
of related construction at the Site.
1. Contractor shall submit sufficient information as provided below to allow Engineer to
determine if the item of material or equipment proposed is functionally equivalent to that
named and an acceptable substitute therefor. Engineer will not accept requests for
review of proposed substitute items of equipment or material from anyone other than
Contractor.
2. The requirements for review by Engineer will be as set forth in Paragraph 7.06.13, as
supplemented by the Specifications,and as Engineer may decide is appropriate under the
circumstances.

00 7213-Page 29 of 70
3. Contractor shall make written application to Engineer for review of a proposed substitute
item of equipment or material that Contractor seeks to furnish or use.The application:
a. will certify that the proposed substitute item will:
1) perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the
general design;
2) be similar in substance to the item specified; and
3) be suited to the same use as the item specified.
b. will state:
1) the extent, if any, to which the use of the proposed substitute item will
necessitate a change in Contract Times;
2) whether use of the proposed substitute item in the Work will require a change in
any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract
with Owner for other work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed
substitute item; and
3) whether incorporation or use of the proposed substitute item in connection with
the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty.
c. will identify:
1) all variations of the proposed substitute item from the item specified;and
2) available engineering, sales, maintenance, repair, and replacement services.
d. will contain an itemized estimate of all costs or credits that will result directly or
indirectly from use of such substitute item, including but not limited to changes in
Contract Price, shared savings, costs of redesign, and claims of other contractors
affected by any resulting change.
B. Engineer's Evaluation and Determination: Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to
evaluate each substitute request, and to obtain comments and direction from Owner.
Engineer may require Contractor to furnish additional data about the proposed substitute
item. Engineer will be the sole judge of acceptability. No substitute will be ordered,furnished,
installed, or utilized until Engineer's review is complete and Engineer determines that the
proposed item is an acceptable substitute. Engineer's determination will be evidenced by a
Field Order or a proposed Change Order accounting for the substitution itself and all related
impacts, including changes in Contract Price or Contract Times. Engineer will advise
Contractor in writing of any negative determination.
C. Special Guarantee:Owner may require Contractorto furnish at Contractor's expense a special
performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.
D. Reimbursement of Engineer's Cost: Engineer will record Engineer's costs in evaluating a
substitute proposed or submitted by Contractor. Whether or not Engineer approves a
substitute so proposed or submitted by Contractor, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the
reasonable charges of Engineer for evaluating each such proposed substitute.Contractor shall
also reimburse Owner for the reasonable charges of Engineer for making changes in the
Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner) resulting
from the acceptance of each proposed substitute.

00 7213-Page 30 of 70
E. Contractor's Expense: Contractor shall provide all data in support of any proposed substitute
at Contractor's expense.
F. Effect of Engineer's Determination: If Engineer approves the substitution request, Contractor
shall execute the proposed Change Order and proceed with the substitution. The Engineer's
denial of a substitution request will be final and binding,and may not be reversed through an
appeal under any provision of the Contract. Contractor may challenge the scope of
reimbursement costs imposed under Paragraph 7.06.13, by timely submittal of a Change
Proposal.
7.07 Concerning Subcontractors and Suppliers
A. Contractor may retain Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of parts of the Work.
Such Subcontractors and Suppliers must be acceptable to Owner.The Contractor's retention
of a Subcontractor or Supplier for the performance of parts of the Work will not relieve
Contractor's obligation to Owner to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
B. Contractor shall retain specific Subcontractors and Suppliers for the performance of
designated parts of the Work if required by the Contract to do so.
C. Subsequent to the submittal of Contractor's Bid or final negotiation of the terms of the
Contract,Owner may not require Contractor to retain any Subcontractor or Supplier to furnish
or perform any of the Work against which Contractor has reasonable objection.
D. Prior to entry into any binding subcontract or purchase order, Contractor shall submit to
Owner the identity of the proposed Subcontractor or Supplier (unless Owner has already
deemed such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier acceptable during the bidding process or
otherwise). Such proposed Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed acceptable to Owner
unless Owner raises a substantive, reasonable objection within 5 days.
E. Owner may require the replacement of any Subcontractor or Supplier. Owner also may
require Contractor to retain specific replacements; provided, however, that Owner may not
require a replacement to which Contractor has a reasonable objection. If Contractor has
submitted the identity of certain Subcontractors or Suppliers for acceptance by Owner, and
Owner has accepted it(either in writing or by failing to make written objection thereto),then
Owner may subsequently revoke the acceptance of any such Subcontractor or Supplier so
identified solely on the basis of substantive, reasonable objection after due investigation.
Contractor shall submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected Subcontractor or
Supplier.
F. If Owner requires the replacement of any Subcontractor or Supplier retained by Contractor
to perform any part of the Work, then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in
Contract Price or Contract Times, with respect to the replacement; and Contractor shall
initiate a Change Proposal for such adjustment within 30 days of Owner's requirement of
replacement.
G. No acceptance by Owner of any such Subcontractor or Supplier, whether initially or as a
replacement, will constitute a waiver of the right of Owner to the completion of the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.

H. On a monthly basis, Contractor shall submit to Engineer a complete list of all Subcontractors
and Suppliers having a direct contract with Contractor, and of all other Subcontractors and
Suppliers known to Contractor at the time of submittal.
I. Contractor shall be solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating the work of
Subcontractors and Suppliers.
J. The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the identifications of any Drawings do not
control Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or Suppliers, or in delineating
the Work to be performed by any specific trade.
K. All Work performed for Contractor by a Subcontractor or Supplier must be pursuant to an
appropriate contractual agreement that specifically binds the Subcontractor or Supplier to
the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract for the benefit of Owner and Engineer.
L. Owner may furnish to any Subcontractor or Supplier, to the extent practicable, information
about amounts paid to Contractor for Work performed for Contractor by the Subcontractor
or Supplier.

arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such Work or other
action. It is not Contractor's responsibility to make certain that the Work described in the
Contract Documents is in accordance with Laws and Regulations, but this does not relieve
Contractor of its obligations under Paragraph 3.03.
C. Owner or Contractor may give written notice to the other party of any changes after the
submission of Contractor's Bid (or after the date when Contractor became bound under a
negotiated contract) in Laws or Regulations having an effect on the cost or time of

or a Field Order.
B. If an amendment or supplement to the Contract includes a change in the Contract Price or
the Contract Times,such amendment or supplement must be set forth in a Change Order.
C. All changes to the Contract that involve (1)the performance or acceptability of the Work,
(2)the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or (3) other
engineering or technical matters, must be supported by Engineer's recommendation. Owner
and Contractor may amend other terms and conditions of the Contract without the
recommendation of the Engineer.
11.02 Change Orders
A. Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders covering:
1. Changes in Contract Price or Contract Times which are agreed to by the parties, including
any undisputed sum or amount of time for Work actually performed in accordance with
a Work Change Directive;
2. Changes in Contract Price resulting from an Owner set-off, unless Contractor has duly
contested such set-off;
3. Changes in the Work which are: (a) ordered by Owner pursuant to Paragraph 11.05,
(b) required because of Owner's acceptance of defective Work under Paragraph 14.04 or
Owner's correction of defective Work under Paragraph 14.07, or (c) agreed to by the
parties, subject to the need for Engineer's recommendation if the change in the Work
involves the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise) or other

than 30 days after the completion of the Work set out in the Work Change Directive.
2. Owner believes that an adjustment in Contract Times or Contract Price is necessary,then
Owner shall submit any Claim seeking such an adjustment no later than 60 days after
issuance of the Work Change Directive.
11.04 Field Orders
A. Engineer may authorize minor changes in the Work if the changes do not involve an
adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Times and are compatible with the design
concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract
Documents.Such changes will be accomplished by a Field Order and will be binding on Owner
and also on Contractor,which shall perform the Work involved promptly.
B. If Contractor believes that a Field Order justifies an adjustment in the Contract Price or
Contract Times, then before proceeding with the Work at issue, Contractor shall submit a
Change Proposal as provided herein.
11.05 Owner-Authorized Changes in the Work
A. Without invalidating the Contract and without notice to any surety, Owner may, at any time
or from time to time, order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work. Changes involving
the design (as set forth in the Drawings,Specifications, or otherwise) or other engineering or
technical matters will be supported by Engineer's recommendation.
B. Such changes in the Work may be accomplished by a Change Order, if Owner and Contractor
have agreed as to the effect,if any, of the changes on Contract Times or Contract Price;or by
a Work Change Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly
proceed with the Work involved; or, in the case of a deletion in the Work, promptly cease
construction activities with respect to such deleted Work. Added or revised Work must be
performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents.

1. Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents,
then by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 13.03);
2. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract
Documents, then by a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for
overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with Paragraph 11.07.C.2); or
3. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract
Documents and the parties do not reach mutual agreement to a lump sum, then on the
basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 13.01) plus a
Contractor's fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.07.C).
C. Contractor's Fee: When applicable, the Contractor's fee for overhead and profit will be
determined as follows:
1. A mutually acceptable fixed fee; or
2. If a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based on the following percentages of the
various portions of the Cost of the Work:
a. For costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.13.1 and 13.01.13.2,the Contractor's fee will
be 15 percent;
b. For costs incurred under Paragraph 13.01.13.3,the Contractor's fee will be 5 percent;
c. Where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a
fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraphs 11.07.C.2.a and
11.07.C.2.b is that the Contractor's fee will be based on: (1)a fee of 15 percent of the
costs incurred under Paragraphs 13.01.13.1 and 13.01.6.2 by the Subcontractor that
actually performs the Work,at whatever tier,and (2)with respect to Contractor itself
and to any Subcontractors of a tier higher than that of the Subcontractor that actually
performs the Work, a fee of 5 percent of the amount (fee plus underlying costs
incurred) attributable to the next lower tier Subcontractor; provided, however, that
for any such subcontracted Work the maximum total fee to be paid by Owner will be
no greater than 27 percent of the costs incurred by the Subcontractor that actually
performs the Work;
d. No fee will be payable on the basis of costs itemized under Paragraphs 13.01.13.4,
13.01.13.5, and 13.01.C;
e. The amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to Owner for any change which
results in a net decrease in Cost of the Work will be the amount of the actual net
decrease in Cost of the Work and a deduction of an additional amount equal to
5 percent of such actual net decrease in Cost of the Work;and
f. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change or Change Proposal,
the adjustment in Contractor's fee will be computed by determining the sum of the
costs in each of the cost categories in Paragraph 13.01.E (specifically, payroll costs,
Paragraph 13.01.13.1; incorporated materials and equipment costs,
Paragraph 13.01.13.2; Subcontract costs, Paragraph 13.01.6.3; special consultants
costs, Paragraph 13.01.13.4; and other costs, Paragraph 13.01.13.5) and applying to
each such cost category sum the appropriate fee from Paragraphs 11.07.C.2.a
through 11.07.C.2.e, inclusive.

entire adjustment to which Contractor believes it is entitled as a result of said event.
3. Engineer's Initial Review: Engineer will advise Owner regarding the Change Proposal, and
consider any comments or response from Owner regarding the Change Proposal. If in its
discretion Engineer concludes that additional supporting data is needed before
conducting a full review and making a decision regarding the Change Proposal, then
Engineer may request that Contractor submit such additional supporting data by a date
specified by Engineer, prior to Engineer beginning its full review of the Change Proposal.
4. Engineer's Full Review and Action on the Change Proposal: Upon receipt of Contractor's
supporting data (including any additional data requested by Engineer), Engineer will
conduct a full review of each Change Proposal and, within 30 days after such receipt of
the Contractor's supporting data,either approve the Change Proposal in whole,deny it in
whole, or approve it in part and deny it in part. Such actions must be in writing, with a
copy provided to Owner and Contractor. If Engineer does not take action on the Change

written recommendation of final payment pursuant to Paragraph 15.06.13.
11.10 Notification to Surety
A. If the provisions of any bond require notice to be given to a surety of any change affecting the
general scope of the Work or the provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not
limited to,Contract Price or Contract Times),the giving of any such notice will be Contractor's
responsibility. The amount of each applicable bond will be adjusted to reflect the effect of
any such change.

ARTICLE 13—COST OF THE WORK;ALLOWANCES;UNIT PRICE WORK
13.01 Cost of the Work
A. Purposes for Determination of Cost of the Work: The term Cost of the Work means the sum
of all costs necessary for the proper performance of the Work at issue, as further defined
below.The provisions of this Paragraph 13.01 are used for two distinct purposes:
1. To determine Cost of the Work when Cost of the Work is a component of the Contract
Price, under cost-plus-fee,time-and-materials, or other cost-based terms;or
EJCDC®C-700,Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

and American Society of Civil Engineers.All rights reserved.
00 7213-Page 51 of 70
2. When needed to determine the value of a Change Order,Change Proposal,Claim,set-off,
or other adjustment in Contract Price. When the value of any such adjustment is
determined on the basis of Cost of the Work, Contractor is entitled only to those
additional or incremental costs required because of the change in the Work or because
of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
B. Costs Included: Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by Owner, costs included in
the Cost of the Work will be in amounts no higher than those commonly incurred in the
locality of the Project,will not include any of the costs itemized in Paragraph 13.01.C,and will
include only the following items:
1. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of Contractor in the performance of the
Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by Owner and Contractor in
advance of the subject Work. Such employees include, without limitation,
superintendents,foremen,safety managers,safety representatives,and other personnel
employed full time on the Work. Payroll costs for employees not employed full time on
the Work will be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the Work. Payroll costs
include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits,which
include social security contributions, unemployment, excise, and payroll taxes, workers'
compensation, health and retirement benefits, sick leave, and vacation and holiday pay
applicable thereto. The expenses of performing Work outside of regular working hours,
on Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays, will be included in the above to the extent
authorized by Owner.
2. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including
costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Suppliers' field services required in
connection therewith. All cash discounts accrue to Contractor unless Owner deposits
funds with Contractor with which to make payments, in which case the cash discounts
will accrue to Owner. All trade discounts, rebates, and refunds and returns from sale.of
surplus materials and equipment will accrue to Owner, and Contractor shall make
provisions so that they may be obtained.
3. Payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors for Work performed by Subcontractors.
If required by Owner, Contractor shall obtain competitive bids from subcontractors
acceptable to Owner and Contractor and shall deliver such bids to Owner,which will then
determine, with the advice of Engineer, which bids, if any, will be acceptable. If any
subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the Work
plus a fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work and fee will be determined in the same
manner as Contractor's Cost of the Work and fee as provided in this Paragraph 13.01.
4. Costs of special consultants (including but not limited to engineers, architects, testing
laboratories, surveyors, attorneys, and accountants) employed or retained for services
specifically related to the Work.
5. Other costs consisting of the following:
a. The proportion of necessary transportation, travel, and subsistence expenses of
Contractor's employees incurred in discharge of duties connected with the Work.
b. Cost,including transportation and maintenance,of all materials,supplies,equipment,
machinery, appliances, office, and temporary facilities at the Site, which are

consumed in the performance of the Work,and cost, less market value, of such items
used but not consumed which remain the property of Contractor.
1) In establishing included costs for materials such as scaffolding, plating, or
sheeting, consideration will be given to the actual or the estimated life of the
material for use on other projects;or rental rates may be established on the basis
of purchase or salvage value of such items,whichever is less. Contractor will not
be eligible for compensation for such items in an amount that exceeds the
purchase cost of such item.
c. Construction Equipment Rental
1) Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery, and the parts thereof, in
accordance with rental agreements approved by Owner as to price(including any
surcharge or special rates applicable to overtime use of the construction
equipment or machinery), and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading,
assembly, dismantling, and removal thereof. All such costs will be in accordance
with the terms of said rental agreements. The rental of any such equipment,
machinery, or parts must cease when the use thereof is no longer necessary for
the Work.
2) Costs for equipment and machinery owned by Contractor or a Contractor-related
entity will be paid at a rate shown for such equipment in the equipment rental
rate book specified in the Supplementary Conditions. An hourly rate will be
computed by dividing the monthly rates by 176. These computed rates will
include all operating costs.
3) With respect to Work that is the result of a Change Order, Change Proposal,
Claim, set-off, or other adjustment in Contract Price ("changed Work"), included
costs will be based on the time the equipment or machinery is in use on the
changed Work and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading, assembly,
dismantling, and removal when directly attributable to the changed Work. The
cost of any such equipment or machinery, or parts thereof, must cease to accrue
when the use thereof is no longer necessary for the changed Work.
d. Sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes related to the Work, and for which
Contractor is liable,as imposed by Laws and Regulations.
e. Deposits lost for causes other than negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor, or
anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them
may be liable, and royalty payments and fees for permits and licenses.
f. Losses and damages (and related expenses) caused by damage to the Work, not
compensated by insurance or otherwise, sustained by Contractor in connection with
the performance of the Work (except losses and damages within the deductible
amounts of builder's risk or other property insurance established in accordance with
Paragraph 6.04), provided such losses and damages have resulted from causes other
than the negligence of Contractor,any Subcontractor,or anyone directly or indirectly
employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable. Such losses
include settlements made with the written consent and approval of Owner. No such
losses, damages, and expenses will be included in the Cost of the Work for the
purpose of determining Contractor's fee.

of Cost of the Work will be determined in accordance with Paragraph 11.07.C.2.
E. Documentation and Audit: Whenever the Cost of the Work for any purpose is to be
determined pursuant to this Article 13,Contractor and pertinent Subcontractors will establish
and maintain records of the costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices.
Subject to prior written notice, Owner will be afforded reasonable access, during normal
business hours, to all Contractor's accounts, records, books, correspondence, instructions,
drawings, receipts, vouchers, memoranda, and similar data relating to the Cost of the Work
and Contractor's fee.Contractor shall preserve all such documents for a period of three years
after the final payment by Owner. Pertinent Subcontractors will afford such access to Owner,
and preserve such documents,to the same extent required of Contractor.
13.02 Allowances
A. It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in
the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be performed for such sums
and by such persons or entities as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer.
B. Cash Allowances: Contractor agrees that:
1. the cash allowances include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts)
of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and
all applicable taxes;and
2. Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the Site, labor, installation, overhead,
profit, and other expenses contemplated for the cash allowances have been included in
the Contract Price and not in the allowances, and no demand for additional payment for
any of the foregoing will be valid.
C. Owner's Contingency Allowance: Contractor agrees that an Owner's contingency allowance,
if any, is for the sole use of Owner to cover unanticipated costs.
D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by
Engineer to reflect actual amounts due Contractor for Work covered by allowances, and the
Contract Price will be correspondingly adjusted.
13.03 Unit Price Work
A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal
to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the
estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement.
B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for
the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Payments to
Contractor for Unit Price Work will be based on actual quantities.
C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate
to cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identified item.
D. Engineer will determine the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed
by Contractor. Engineer will review with Contractor the Engineer's preliminary
determinations on such matters before rendering a written decision thereon (by
recommendation of an Application for Payment or otherwise). Engineer's written decision

00 7213-Page 55 of 70
thereon will be final and binding (except as modified by Engineer to reflect changed factual
conditions or more accurate data) upon Owner and Contractor, and the final adjustment of
Contract Price will be set forth in a Change Order, subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph.
E. Adjustments in Unit Price
1. Contractor or Owner shall be entitled to an adjustment in the unit price with respect to
an item of Unit Price Work if:
a. the quantity of the item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially
and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the
Agreement;and
b. Contractor's unit costs to perform the item of Unit Price Work have changed
materially and significantly as a result of the quantity change.
2. The adjustment in unit price will account for and be coordinated with any related changes
in quantities of other items of Work, and in Contractor's costs to perform such other
Work, such that the resulting overall change in Contract Price is equitable to Owner and
Contractor.
3. Adjusted unit prices will apply to all units of that item.
ARTICLE 14—TESTS AND INSPECTIONS;CORRECTION,REMOVAL,OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
14.01 Access to Work
A. Owner, Engineer, their consultants and other representatives and personnel of Owner,
independent testing laboratories, and authorities having jurisdiction have access to the Site
and the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspection, and testing. Contractor
shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise them of Contractor's
safety procedures and programs so that they may comply with such procedures and programs
as applicable.

00 7213-Page 56 of 70
D. Contractor shall be responsible for arranging, obtaining, and paying for all inspections and
tests required:
1. by the Contract Documents, unless the Contract Documents expressly allocate
responsibility for a specific inspection or test to Owner;
2. to attain Owner's and Engineer's acceptance of materials or equipment to be
incorporated in the Work;
3. by manufacturers of equipment furnished under the Contract Documents;
4. for testing,adjusting, and balancing of mechanical, electrical, and other equipment to be
incorporated into the Work;and
5. for acceptance of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to
Contractor's purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work.
Such inspections and tests will be performed by independent inspectors,testing laboratories,
or other qualified individuals or entities acceptable to Owner and Engineer.
E. If the Contract Documents require the Work (or part thereof) to be approved by Owner,
Engineer, or another designated individual or entity, then Contractor shall assume full
responsibility for arranging and obtaining such approvals.
F. If any Work(or the work of others)that is to be inspected,tested, or approved is covered by
Contractor without written concurrence of Engineer, Contractor shall, if requested by
Engineer,uncover such Work for observation.Such uncovering will be at Contractor's expense
unless Contractor had given Engineer timely notice of Contractor's intention to cover the
same and Engineer had not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
14.03 Defective Work
A. Contractor's Obligation: It is Contractor's obligation to assure that the Work is not defective.
B. Engineer's Authority: Engineer has the authority to determine whether Work is defective,and
to reject defective Work.
C. Notice of Defects: Prompt written notice of all defective Work of which Owner or Engineer
has actual knowledge will be given to Contractor.
D. Correction,or Removal and Replacement:Promptly after receipt of written notice of defective
Work, Contractor shall correct all such defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed,
or completed, or, if Engineer has rejected the defective Work, remove it from the Project and
replace it with Work that is not defective.
E. Preservation of Warranties:When correcting defective Work, Contractor shall take no action
that would void or otherwise impair Owner's special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said
Work.
F. Costs and Damages: In addition to its correction, removal, and replacement obligations with
respect to defective Work, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages arising
out of or relating to defective Work, including but not limited to the cost of the inspection,
testing, correction, removal, replacement, or reconstruction of such defective Work, fines
levied against Owner by governmental authorities because the Work is defective, and the
costs of repair or replacement of work of others resulting from defective Work. Prior to final
payment,if Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the measure of such claims,costs,

00 7213-Page 57 of 70
losses, and damages resulting from defective Work, then Owner may impose a reasonable
set-off against payments due under Article 15.
14.04 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner
prefers to accept it, Owner may do so (subject, if such acceptance occurs prior to final
payment,to Engineer's confirmation that such acceptance is in general accord with the design
intent and applicable engineering principles, and will not endanger public safety). Contractor
shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages attributable to Owner's evaluation of and
determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by Engineer as to
reasonableness), and for the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid
by Contractor. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, the necessary revisions
in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work will be incorporated in a Change Order.
If the parties are unable to agree as to the decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the
diminished value of Work so accepted,then Owner may impose a reasonable set-off against
payments due under Article 15. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after final
payment, Contractor shall pay an appropriate amount to Owner.
14.05 Uncovering Work
A. Engineer has the authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work, whether
or not the Work is fabricated, installed, or completed.
B. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of Engineer, then Contractor shall, if
requested by Engineer, uncover such Work for Engineer's observation, and then replace the
covering,all at Contractor's expense.
C. If Engineer considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by Engineer or
inspected or tested by others,then Contractor, at Engineer's request,shall uncover, expose,
or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as Engineer may require,
that portion of the Work in question, and provide all necessary labor, material, and
equipment.
1. If it is found that the uncovered Work is defective, Contractor shall be responsible for all
claims,costs, losses,and damages arising out of or relating to such uncovering,exposure,
observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory replacement or reconstruction
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and
pending Contractor's full discharge of this responsibility the Owner shall be entitled to
impose a reasonable set-off against payments due under Article 15.
2. If the uncovered Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an
increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, directly attributable
to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement, and
reconstruction. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof,then
Contractor may submit a Change Proposal within 30 days of the determination that the
Work is not defective.
14.06 Owner May Stop the Work
A. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable
materials or equipment,or fails to perform the Work in such a way that the completed Work
will conform to the Contract Documents,then Owner may order Contractor to stop the Work,

Copyright°2018 National Society of Professional Engineers,American Council of Engineering Companies,
and American Society of Civil Engineers.All rights reserved.
00 7213-Page 58 of 70
or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however,this right
of Owner to stop the Work will not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to exercise this
right for the benefit of Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or
entity, or any surety for,or employee or agent of any of them.
14.07 Owner May Correct Defective Work
A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Engineer to correct
defective Work, or to remove and replace defective Work as required by Engineer, then
Owner may, after 7 days'written notice to Contractor,correct or remedy any such deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07, Owner shall proceed
expeditiously. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, Owner may exclude
Contractor from all or part of the Site,take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend
Contractor's services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and
equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored
elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's representatives, agents and employees,
Owner's other contractors, and Engineer and Engineer's consultants access to the Site to
enable Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages incurred or sustained by Owner in exercising the rights
and remedies under this Paragraph 14.07 will be charged against Contractor as set-offs
against payments due under Article 15. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include
but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or
damaged by correction, removal,or replacement of Contractor's defective Work.
D. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times because of any delay in
the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner's rights and
remedies under this Paragraph 14.07.
ARTICLE 15—PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR;SET-OFFS;COMPLETION;CORRECTION PERIOD
15.01 Progress Payments
A. Basis for Progress Payments:The Schedule of Values established as provided in Article 2 will
serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application
for Payment acceptable to Engineer. Progress payments for Unit Price Work will be based on
the number of units completed during the pay period,as determined under the provisions of
Paragraph 13.03. Progress payments for cost-based Work will be based on Cost of the Work
completed by Contractor during the pay period.
B. Applications for Payments
1. At least 20 days before the date established in the Agreement for each progress payment
(but not more often than once a month), Contractor shall submit to Engineer for review
an Application for Payment filled out and signed by Contractor covering the Work
completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting
documentation as is required by the Contract Documents.
2. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the
Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in
writing, the Application for Payment must also be accompanied by: (a) a bill of sale,
invoice, copies of subcontract or purchase order payments, or other documentation

00 7213-Page 59 of 70
establishing full payment by Contractor for the materials and equipment; (b) at Owner's
request, documentation warranting that Owner has received the materials and
equipment free and clear of all Liens; and (c) evidence that the materials and equipment
are covered by appropriate property insurance, a warehouse bond, or other
arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to
Owner.
3. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application must include an
affidavit of Contractor stating that all previous progress payments received by Contractor
have been applied to discharge Contractor's legitimate obligations associated with prior
Applications for Payment.
4. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the
Agreement.
C. Review of Applications
1. Engineer will,within 10 days after receipt of each Application for Payment,including each
resubmittal, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the
Application to Owner, or return the Application to Contractor indicating in writing
Engineer's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, Contractor
may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application.
2. Engineer's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner, based on Engineer's observations of
the executed Work as an experienced and qualified design professional,and on Engineer's
review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules,that to
the best of Engineer's knowledge, information and belief:
a. the Work has progressed to the point indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion,the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents,a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work
under Paragraph 13.03, and any other qualifications stated in the recommendation);
and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to
have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe the Work.
3. By recommending any such payment Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been
performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress,
or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to Engineer in the Contract; or
b. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle
Contractor to be paid additionally by Owner or entitle Owner to withhold payment to
Contractor.

00 7213-Page 60 of 70
4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's Work for the purposes of recommending
payments nor Engineer's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will
impose responsibility on Engineer:
a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work;
b. for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction, or
the safety precautions and programs incident thereto;
c. for Contractor's failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to
Contractor's performance of the Work;
d. to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used
the money paid by Owner;or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to
Owner free and clear of any Liens.
5. Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if,in Engineer's
opinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated in
Paragraph 15.01.C.2.
6. Engineer will recommend reductions in payment (set-offs) necessary in Engineer's
opinion to protect Owner from loss because:
a. the Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;
c. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with
Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04;
d. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental
Condition for which Contractor is responsible; or
e. Engineer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events that would
constitute a default by Contractor and therefore justify termination for cause under
the Contract Documents.
D. Payment Becomes Due
1. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer's
recommendation,the amount recommended(subject to any Owner set-offs)will become
due, and when due will be paid by Owner to Contractor.
E. Reductions in Payment by Owner
1. In addition to any reductions in payment (set-offs) recommended by Engineer, Owner is
entitled to impose a set-off against payment based on any of the following:
a. Claims have been made against Owner based on Contractor's conduct in the
performance or furnishing of the Work, or Owner has incurred costs, losses, or
damages resulting from Contractor's conduct in the performance or furnishing of the
Work, including but not limited to claims, costs, losses, or damages from workplace
injuries, adjacent property damage, non-compliance with Laws and Regulations, and
patent infringement;

00 7213-Page 61 of 70
b. Contractor has failed to take reasonable and customary measures to avoid damage,
delay, disruption, and interference with other work at or adjacent to the Site;
c. Contractor has failed to provide and maintain required bonds or insurance;
d. Owner has been required to remove or remediate a Hazardous Environmental
Condition for which Contractor is responsible;
e. Owner has incurred extra charges or engineering costs related to submittal reviews,
evaluations of proposed substitutes, tests and inspections, or return visits to
manufacturing or assembly facilities;
f. The Work is defective, requiring correction or replacement;
g. Owner has been required to correct defective Work in accordance with
Paragraph 14.07, or has accepted defective Work pursuant to Paragraph 14.04;
h. The Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;
i. An event has occurred that would constitute a default by Contractor and therefore
justify a termination for cause;
j. Liquidated or other damages have accrued as a result of Contractor's failure to
achieve Milestones,Substantial Completion, or final completion of the Work;
k. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where Contractor has
delivered a specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the satisfaction and
discharge of such Liens; or
I. Other items entitle Owner to a set-off against the amount recommended.
2. If Owner imposes any set-off against payment, whether based on its own knowledge or
on the written recommendations of Engineer, Owner will give Contractor immediate
written notice (with a copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action and the
specific amount of the reduction, and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining
after deduction of the amount so withheld. Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the
amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, if
Contractor remedies the reasons for such action. The reduction imposed will be binding
on Contractor unless it duly submits a Change Proposal contesting the reduction.
3. Upon a subsequent determination that Owner's refusal of payment was not justified,the
amount wrongfully withheld will be treated as an amount due as determined by
Paragraph 15.01.D.1 and subject to interest as provided in the Agreement.
15.02 Contractor's Warranty of Title
A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work,materials,and equipment furnished
under the Contract will pass to Owner free and clear of (1) all Liens and other title defects,
and (2) all patent, licensing, copyright, or royalty obligations, no later than 7 days after the
time of payment by Owner.
15.03 Substantial Completion
A. When Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use Contractor shall notify
Owner and Engineer in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete and request that
Engineer issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Contractor shall at the same time

and American Society of Civil Engineers.All rights reserved.
00 7213-Page 62 of 70
submit to Owner and Engineer an initial draft of punch list items to be completed or corrected
before final payment.
B. Promptly after Contractor's notification, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If Engineer does not consider
the Work substantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving the reasons
therefor.
C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will deliver to Owner a
preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion which will fix the date of Substantial
Completion. Engineer shall attach to the certificate a punch list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. Owner shall have 7 days after receipt of the preliminary
certificate during which to make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the
certificate or attached punch list. If, after considering the objections to the provisions of the
preliminary certificate, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially complete,
Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the preliminary certificate to Owner, notify
Contractor in writing that the Work is not substantially complete,stating the reasons therefor.
If Owner does not object to the provisions of the certificate, or if despite consideration of
Owner's objections Engineer concludes that the Work is substantially complete, then
Engineer will, within said 14 days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a final
certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised punch list of items to be completed or
corrected) reflecting such changes from the preliminary certificate as Engineer believes
justified after consideration of any objections from Owner.
D. At the time of receipt of the preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion, Owner and
Contractor will confer regarding Owner's use or occupancy of the Work following Substantial
Completion, review the builder's risk insurance policy with respect to the end of the builder's
risk coverage, and confirm the transition to coverage of the Work under a permanent
property insurance policy held by Owner. Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise in
writing, Owner shall bear responsibility for security, operation, protection of the Work,
property insurance, maintenance, heat, and utilities upon Owner's use or occupancy of the
Work.
E. After Substantial Completion the Contractor shall promptly begin work on the punch list of
items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. In appropriate cases Contractor
may submit monthly Applications for Payment for completed punch list items, following the
progress payment procedures set forth above.
F. Owner shall have the right to exclude Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable access to remove its property and
complete or correct items on the punch list.
15.04 Partial Use or Occupancy
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially
completed part of the Work which has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents,
or which Owner, Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and
usable part of the Work that can be used by Owner for its intended purpose without

00 7213-Page 63 of 70
significant interference with Contractor's performance of the remainder of the Work,subject
to the following conditions:
1. At any time,Owner may request in writing that Contractor permit Owner to use or occupy
any such part of the Work that Owner believes to be substantially complete. If and when
Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor,
Owner,and Engineer will follow the procedures of Paragraph 15.03.A through 15.03.E for
that part of the Work.
2. At any time, Contractor may notify Owner and Engineer in writing that Contractor
considers any such part of the Work substantially complete and request Engineer to issue
a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
3. Within a reasonable time after either such request,Owner,Contractor,and Engineer shall
make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If
Engineer does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer
will notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor. If Engineer
considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of
Paragraph 15.03 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that
part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to
compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 6.04 regarding builder's risk or other
property insurance.
15.05 Final Inspection
A. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is
complete, Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with Owner and Contractor and will
notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work,or
agreed portion thereof, is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall immediately take such
measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
15.06 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After Contractor has, in the opinion of Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections
identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract
Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, annotated record
documents (as provided in Paragraph 7.12), and other documents, Contractor may make
application for final payment.
2. The final Application for Payment must be accompanied (except as previously delivered)
by:
a. all documentation called for in the Contract Documents;
b. consent of the surety, if any,to final payment;
c. satisfactory evidence that all title issues have been resolved such that title to all Work,
materials, and equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any Liens or other

00 7213-Page 64 of 70
d. a list of all duly pending Change Proposals and Claims;and
e. complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien
rights arising out of the Work,and of Liens filed in connection with the Work.
3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens specified in Paragraph 15.06.A.2 and as approved
by Owner,Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor
that: (a)the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material,and equipment for
which a Lien could be filed; and (b) all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Workforwhich Owner might in any way be responsible,
or which might in any way result in liens or other burdens on Owner's property,have been
paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release
or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to Owner
to indemnify Owner against any Lien, or Owner at its option may issue joint checks
payable to Contractor and specified Subcontractors and Suppliers.
B. Engineer's Review of Final Application and Recommendation of Payment: If, on the basis of
Engineer's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and Engineer's
review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by
the Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work has been completed and
Contractor's other obligations under the Contract have been fulfilled, Engineer will,within 10
days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing Engineer's
recommendation of final payment and present the final Application for Payment to Owner
for payment. Such recommendation will account for any set-offs against payment that are
necessary in Engineer's opinion to protect Owner from loss for the reasons stated above with
respect to progress payments.Otherwise, Engineer will return the Application for Payment to
Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in
which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for
Payment.
C. Notice of Acceptability: In support of its recommendation of payment of the final Application
for Payment, Engineer will also give written notice to Owner and Contractor that the Work is
acceptable, subject to stated limitations in the notice and to the provisions of
Paragraph 15.07.
D. Completion of Work:The Work is complete (subject to surviving obligations) when it is ready
for final payment as established by the Engineer's written recommendation of final payment
and issuance of notice of the acceptability of the Work.
E. Final Payment Becomes Due:Upon receipt from Engineer of the final Application for Payment
and accompanying documentation, Owner shall set off against the amount recommended by
Engineer for final payment any further sum to which Owner is entitled, including but not
limited to set-offs for liquidated damages and set-offs allowed under the provisions of this
Contract with respect to progress payments. Owner shall pay the resulting balance due to
Contractor within 30 days of Owner's receipt of the final Application for Payment from
Engineer.
15.07 Waiver of Claims

appeal under the provisions of Article 17, set-off, or express reservation of rights by Owner.
Owner reserves all other claims or rights after final payment.
B. The acceptance of final payment by Contractor will constitute a waiver by Contractor of all
claims,and rights against Owner other than those pending matters that have been duly
submitted as a Claim, or appealed under the provisions of Article 17.
15.08 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion (or such longer period of time as
may be prescribed by the Supplementary Conditions or the terms of any applicable special
guarantee required by the Contract Documents), Owner gives Contractor written notice that
any Work has been found to be defective, or that Contractor's repair of any damages to the
Site or adjacent areas has been found to be defective, then after receipt of such notice of
defect Contractor shall promptly, without cost to Owner and in accordance with Owner's
written instructions:
1. correct the defective repairs to the Site or such adjacent areas;
2. correct such defective Work;
3. remove the defective Work from the Project and replace it with Work that is not
defective, if the defective Work has been rejected by Owner, and
4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any damage to other Work, to the
work of others, or to other land or areas resulting from the corrective measures.
B. Owner shall give any such notice of defect within 60 days of the discovery that such Work or
repairs is defective. If such notice is given within such 60 days but after the end of the
correction period, the notice will be deemed a notice of defective Work under
Paragraph 7.17.6.
C. If, after receipt of a notice of defect within 60 days and within the correction period,
Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of Owner's written instructions,or in an
emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, Owner may have the
defective Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work removed and replaced.
Contractor shall pay all costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers,architects,attorneys,and other professionals and all court or arbitration
or other dispute resolution costs)arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such
removal and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of
work of others). Contractor's failure to pay such costs, losses,and damages within 10 days of
invoice from Owner will be deemed the start of an event giving rise to a Claim under
Paragraph 12.01.13,such that any related Claim must be brought within 30 days of the failure
to pay.
D. In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start
to run from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications.
E. Where defective Work(and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected
or removed and replaced under this paragraph,the correction period hereunder with respect
to such Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or
removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.

ARTICLE 16—SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
16.01 Owner May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, Owner may suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a
period of not more than 90 consecutive days by written notice to Contractor and Engineer.
Such notice will fix the date on which Work will be resumed.Contractor shall resume the Work
on the date so fixed. Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price or an
extension of the Contract Times directly attributable to any such suspension. Any Change
Proposal seeking such adjustments must be submitted no later than 30 days after the date
fixed for resumption of Work.
16.02 Owner May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will constitute a default by
Contractor and justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or
suitable materials or equipment, or failure to adhere to the Progress Schedule);
2. Failure of Contractor to perform or otherwise to comply with a material term of the
Contract Documents;
3. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction; or
4. Contractor's repeated disregard of the authority of Owner or Engineer.
B. If one or more of the events identified in Paragraph 16.02.A occurs, then after giving
Contractor (and any surety) 10 days' written notice that Owner is considering a declaration
that Contractor is in default and termination of the Contract, Owner may proceed to:
1. declare Contractor to be in default, and give Contractor (and any surety) written notice
that the Contract is terminated; and
2. enforce the rights available to Owner under any applicable performance bond.
C. Subject to the terms and operation of any applicable performance bond, if Owner has
terminated the Contract for cause, Owner may exclude Contractor from the Site, take
possession of the Work, incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the
Site or for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and complete
the Work as Owner may deem expedient.
D. Owner may not proceed with termination of the Contract under Paragraph 16.02.B if
Contractor within 7 days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate begins to correct its failure
to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure.
E. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph 16.02.13, Contractor shall not be entitled to
receive any further payment until the Work is completed. If the unpaid balance of the
Contract Price exceeds the cost to complete the Work, including all related claims, costs,
losses,and damages(including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,architects,

attorneys, and other professionals) sustained by Owner, such excess will be paid to
Contractor. If the cost to complete the Work including such related claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceeds such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner. Such
claims,costs, losses,and damages incurred by Owner will be reviewed by Engineer as to their
reasonableness and, when so approved by Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order. When
exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph,Owner shall not be required to obtain
the lowest price for the Work performed.
F. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by Owner, the termination will not
affect any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor then existing or which may
thereafter accrue, or any rights or remedies of Owner against Contractor or any surety under
any payment bond or performance bond.Any retention or payment of money due Contractor
by Owner will not release Contractor from liability.
G. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions
of Paragraph 6.01.A,the provisions of that bond will govern over any inconsistent provisions
of Paragraphs 16.02.E and 16.02.D.
16.03 Owner May Terminate for Convenience
A. Upon 7 days' written notice to Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner, terminate the Contract. In such
case, Contractor shall be paid for(without duplication of any items):
1. completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents
prior to the effective date of termination,including fair and reasonable sums for overhead
and profit on such Work;
.2. expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and
furnishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses; and
3. other reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination, including costs incurred
to prepare a termination for convenience cost proposal.
B. Contractor shall not be paid for any loss of anticipated profits or revenue, post-termination
overhead costs,or other economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
16.04 Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, (1) the Work is suspended for more than 90
consecutive days by Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or (2)
Engineer fails to act on any Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted,or(3)
Owner fails for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, then
Contractor may, upon 7 days' written notice to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or
Engineer do not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the contract
and recover from Owner payment on the same terms as provided in Paragraph 16.03.
B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if
Engineer has failed to act on an Application for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted,
or Owner has failed for 30 days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due,
Contractor may, 7 days after written notice to Owner and Engineer, stop the Work until
payment is made of all such amounts due Contractor, including interest thereon. The

BEFORE THE GALLATIN COUNTY FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR
GALLATIN COUNTY,MONTANA
FINDINGS OF FACT AND ORDER:
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION
OF CITY OF BOZEMAN,FOR A FLOODPLAIN
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO PERFORM WORK
IN THE REGULATORY FLOODPLAIN OF
THE EAST GALLATIN RIVER
I. FINDINGS OF FACT
A. Section 76-5-101, et seq., MCA, establishes the minimum requirements for county floodplain
management regulations. `
B. The Gallatin County Floodplain Ordinance ("Floodplain Regulations") was adopted December 14, 2017
(Ordinance#2017-011).
C. The purpose of the Gallatin County Floodplain Regulations is:
To promote the public health, safety and general-welfare, to minimize flood losses in areas subject to flood
hazards and to promote wise use of the floodplain. These Regulations have been established with the
following purposes intended:
,1. To guide development of the 100 year floodplain areas of Gallatin County outside incorporated areas
consistent with the enumerated findings by:
1. recognizing the right and need of water courses to periodically carry more than the normal
flow of water;
2. participating in coordinating efforts of federal, state and local management activities for 100-
year floodplains;and,
3. insuring the regulations and minimum standards adopted, insofar as possible, balance the
greatest public good with the least private injury.
A Specifically it is the purpose of these Regulations to:
1. restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of flood, or
cause increased flood heightY or velocities;
2. require that uses vulnerable to floods, including public facilities which serve such uses, be
provided with flood protection at the time of initial construction;
3. identify lands unsuitable for certain development purposes because of flood hazards;
4. minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally
undertaken at the expense of the general public;
5. insure that potential buyers are notified that property is within a 100 year floodplain and
subject to the provisions of these Regulations; and,
6. insure that those who occupy 100 year floodplains assure responsibility for their actions.
F2020-003 - City of Bozeman Floodplain Permit 1
T). Intent of Review: The purpose of the floodplain permit application is to review required plans and
information, to determine if the project as proposed meets the purpose and requirements of the Floodplain
Regulations. A permit will be granted or denied by the Floodplain Administrator on the basis of whether
the proposed establishment, alteration or substantial improvement of an artificial obstruction or non-
conforming use meets the requirements of the Floodplain Regulations.
E. Description of Proposed Proiect: The application for a floodplain permit for the City of Bozeman
(Applicant), was received by the Planning Department on August 28, 2019, with information provided by
Dan March, P.E. of HDR Engineering (Applicant's Representative). The Applicant intends to perform
work in the regulatory floodplain to correct an avulsion that occurred in May of 2018 near their
wastewater treatment plant. The project includes channel alteration, bank stabilization, and placement of
fill to reconstruct an avulsed river bank to its pre-avulsion condition, and to redirect flow back into the
pre-avulsion channel. The Applicant's Representative has prepared a hydraulic model, which has been
reviewed by DNRC, to analyze the impact of the proposed project, and provided the required "No-Rise"
Certification, which was certified by Dan March, P.E. Only a small portion of the project extends into the
County's jurisdictional area, and work in that area is limited to rebuilding an irrigation ditch that existed in
this location prior to the avulsion.
F. Location of Proposed Proiect: The project site is generally located at the City of Bozeman wastewater
treatment plant located 2245 Springhill Road, Tract 2 of COS 473E in the Southwest One-Quarter(SW%)
Northeast One-Quarter (NE'/) of Section 26, Township One South (TOI S), Range Five East (R05E),
P.M.M., Gallatin County, MT. Reconstruction of the irrigation ditch will also occur on Lot I of Minor
Subdivision No. 394.
G. Record: The Floodplain Administrator's decision is based on the following information:
1. The application for a floodplain development permit received from the Applicant's Representative on
August 28, 2019, consisting of. cover letter, Joint Application Form and attachments (7 pages);
response to Gallatin County Submittal Requirements (4 pages); Flood Insurance Rate Map (I page);
floodplain analysis prepared by Dan March, P.E. memorandum with attachments including but not
limited to project plans and HEC-RAS analysis; alternatives assessment (5 pages); engineering
certification by Dan march, P.E. (1 page); and list of adjoining property owners; and
2. Cover letter with attachments submitted by Applicant on September 3, 2019, responding to comments

proposed project; and
4. 318 authorization from DEQ, SPA 124 Permit,401 certification,404 Permit;
5. September 26,2019 email from representative of owner of Lot 1 of Minor Subdivision No. 394;
6. October 1, 2019 letter from Dan March, P.E. confirming the design alternative that could result in
installation of rip-rap to the irrigation ditch does not change the previous "no-rise"determination; and
7. The Gallatin County Floodplain Regulations adopted on December 14, 2017.
H. Applicability of Gallatin County Floodplain Regulations to Proposed Proiect• The project site is
covered by the Flood Insurance Study, Gallatin County, Montana, and Incorporated Areas Federal
Emergency Management Agency, September 2, 2011. According to the corresponding Flood Insurance
Rate Map (3003 1 C0802D), the project is located in the floodway portion of Zone AE.
I. Legal Notice and Review Period: Notice of the subject floodplain permit application was published in
the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on September 8 & 15, 2019. Notice was also sent to adjoining landowners
F2020-003 - City of Bozeman Floodplain Permit 2
via first class mail. The Floodplain Administrator did not receive any public comment concerning the
project.
J. Compliance with Gallatin County Floodplain Reodations• The major components of the avulsion
repair project are within the City of Bozeman and have been reviewed and approved under separate pen-nit
by the City of Bozeman's Floodplain Administrator. The application materials describe the project in its
entirety, and include a hydraulic model and no-rise certification, which have been independently reviewed
by Marc Pitman, P.E. of Montana DNRC.
The only portion of the project within the Floodplain District and under the jurisdictional area of the
Gallatin County Floodplain Regulations is a portion of the reconstruction of the Beck Nelson Flannery
Ditch. The reconstruction will be approximately 350 feet in length from the existing headgate to an
existing irrigation culvert — it is only the downstream most 60 or so feet of the irrigation ditch that are
within the County jurisdictional area. The ditch will mostly be excavated into the post avulsion ground
topography, with a short (approximately 60-foot) section of berm construction required immediately
downstream of the headgate. The Floodplain Administrator has identified the below provisions of the
Gallatin County Floodplain Regulations as being applicable to the project:
Section 5.02.B.1: Per Section 5.02.B.1 of the Floodplain Regulations, excavation may take place in
the floodway provided: (a) a buffer strip of undisturbed land of sufficient width to.prevent flood flows
from channeling into the excavation is left between the edge of the channel and the edge of the
excavation; (b) the excavation meets all applicable laws and regulations of other local and state
agencies; and (c) the excavated material is stockpiled outside of the floodway, and if reasonably
attainable, outside the floodplain.
Floodplain Administrator's Response. With respect to the requirements of Section 5.02.B.1 the
Floodplain Administrator finds as follows:
(a) The County's jurisdictional area doesn't start for some distance downstream from the existing
irrigation diversion, which would be the likely point of concern for flood flows channeling into
the irrigation ditch. The ditch relies on the existing irrigation diversion, which will be further
protected from flood flows by the channel plug that will be installed upstream of the ditch to
reduce the likelihood of any future avulsion. The Applicant has indicated that the channel plug
design is such that water may flow over the top of the plug in flood events, as it did in this area
prior to the avulsion. For this reason ditch users have requested an alternate design includes
armoring a portion of the ditch. The impact of armoring the ditch has been addressed in a
October 1, 2019 memo from the Applicant's Representative, which states that such work
would not change the previous "no-rise" determination;
(b) The project has received the necessary regulatory approvals; and
(c) A condition of approval is included requiring any excess materials to be disposed of outside of
the regulatory floodplain upon completion of the project.
K. Additional Factors for Consideration: Section 4.013.1 requires the Floodplain Administrator to
consider additional factors, which follow:
a. The danger to life and property due to increased flood heights, increased floodwater velocities or
alterations in the pattern of flood flow caused by encroachments. The Applicant's Representative
states. "The project is designed and certified to cause `no-rise' in the base flood elevation."
F2020-003 - City of Bozeman Floodplain Permit: 3
b. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands or downstream to the injury of others. The
Applicant's Representative states: "The project is designed to withstand 100-yr flood discharge and is
certified to cause "no-rise"in the base flood elevation."
c. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the ability of these systems to prevent disease,
contamination and unsanitary conditions. The Applicant's Representative states: "Not applicable."
No water supply or sanitation system is proposed as part of this project; however it should be noted
that the primary point of this project is to restore East Gallatin River flows to the channel that is used
for the outfall from the City of Bozeman's wastewater treatment plant.
d. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effects of such
damage on the individual owner. The Applicant's Representative states: "The project is designed to
withstand 100-yr flood discharge and is certified to cause"no-rise"in the base flood elevation."
Floodplain Administrator Comments: The proposed reconstruction of the irrigation ditch should
be less vulnerable to flood damage after the larger project takes place than it was prior to the
avulsion. That said, damage to the facility could impair irrigator's ability to obtain water.
e. The importance of the services provided by the facility to the community. The Applicant's
Representative states: "Absolutely critical. The project returns the main channel of the river to its pre-
avulsion condition, thus providing an immediate and natural source of dilution for mixing treated
effluent discharged from the WRF outfall. Mixing flow is essential for preservation of public health
and safety."
Floodplain Administrator Comments: Restoring flows to the irrigation ditch through the existing
headgate will also benefit water users that rely on that water source.
f. The proposed development will be reasonably safe from flooding. The Applicant's Representative
states: "The project is designed to withstand 100-yr flood discharge and is certified to cause "no-rise"
in the base flood elevation."
g. The drainage at the site is adequate to reduce exposure to flood hazards. The Applicant's
Representative states: "The Bozeman WRF is located outside of the special flood hazard area
floodplain designated by FEMA. The project is designed to withstand 10-yr flood discharge and is
certified to cause "no-rise"in the base flood elevation."
h. The requirement of the facility for a water front location. The Applicant's Representative states:
"Inextricable."
Floodplain Administrator Comments: As described above, restoring flows to the channel that is
used for outfall from the Water Reclamation Facility is critical. Similarly, the water-front location
of the project is critical to restoration of flows into the irrigation ditch through the existing
headgate.
i. The availability of alternative locations not subject to flooding for the proposed use. The Applicant's
Representative states: "See Alternatives Assessment memo provided as.Attachment C."
Floodplain Administrator Comments: The memo referenced in the Applicant's response analyzed
alternatives for the project as a whole. Even if another alternative had been chosen, some work
would have necessary in the regulatory floodplain to reconnect the irrigation ditch to a diversion
point.
F2020-003 - City of Bozeman Floodplain Permit 4
j. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing development and anticipated development in the
foreseeable future. The Applicant's Representative states: "The project is designed to withstand 10-yr
flood discharge and is certified to cause"no-rise" in the base flood elevation."
k. The relationship of the proposed use to any adopted growth policy or other plans covering the project
area. The Applicant's Representative states: "Not applicable."
Floodplain Administrator Comments: The Gallatin County Growth Policy encourages
development to protect life and property from flooding, and encourages compliance with the
Floodplain Regulations. The subject project is not proposing new facilities in the floodplain,
rather the portion of the project that is subject to County review is simply the reconstruction of an
irrigation ditch that existed prior to the avulsion. The ditch reconstruction is being reviewed for
compliance with the requirements of the Floodplain Regulations.
1. The safety of access to the property in times of flooding for ordinary and emergency services. The
Applicant's Representative states: "Not applicable."
Floodplain Administrator Comments: The project is not expected to impact the safety of access to
the property in times of flooding.
m. Such other factors as are in harmony with the purposes of these Regulations, the Montana Floodplain
and Floodway Management Act and the National Flood Insurance Program. The Applicant's
Representative states: "The project is designed in compliance with local, state and federal regulations."
II. ORDER

B.Definition of Heavy Construction
The Administrative Rules of Montana(ARM),24.17.501(4)—(4)(a),states "Heavy construction projects include, but are
not limited to, those projects that are not properly classified as either `building construction', or `highway construction.'
Heavy construction projects include, but are not limited to, antenna towers, bridges (major bridges designed for
commercial navigation), breakwaters, caissons (other than building or highway), canals, channels, channel cut-offs,
chemical complexes or facilities (other than buildings), cofferdams, coke ovens, dams, demolition (not incidental to
construction), dikes, docks, drainage projects, dredging projects, electrification projects (outdoor),fish hatcheries,flood
control projects, industrial incinerators (other than building), irrigation projects,jetties, kilns, land drainage(not
incidental to other construction), land leveling(not incidental to other construction), land reclamation, levees, locks and
waterways, oil refineries (other than buildings),pipe lines,ponds,pumping stations(prefabricated drop-in units—not
buildings), railroad construction, reservoirs, revetments, sewage collection and disposal lines, sewers (sanitary, storm,
etc), shoreline maintenance, ski tows, storage tanks, swimming pools (outdoor), subways (other than buildings), tipples,
tunnels, unsheltered piers and wharves, viaducts (other than highway),water mains, waterway construction, water supply
lines (not incidental to building), water and sewage treatment plants (other than buildings)and wells."
C.Definition of Public Works Contract
Section 18-2-401(1 1)(a),MCA defines"public works contract"as "...a contract for construction services let by the state,
county, municipality, school district, or political subdivision or for nonconstruction services let by the state, county,
municipality, or political subdivision in which the total cost of the contract is in excess of$25,000...".
D.Prevailing Wage Schedule
This publication covers only Heavy Construction occupations and rates in the specific localities mentioned herein.These
rates will remain in effect until superseded by a more current publication. Current prevailing wage rate schedules for
E Building Construction,Highway Construction and Nonconstruction Services occupations can be found on the internet at
www.mtwagehourbopa.com or by contacting the department at(406)444-6543.
E.Rates to Use for Projects
ARM,24.17.127(1)(c),states "The wage rates applicable to a particular public works project are those in effect at the time the
bid specifications are advertised."
F.Wage Rate Adjustments for Multiyear Contracts
Section 18-2-417,MCA states:
"(1)Any public works contract that by the terms of the original contract calls for more than 30 months to fully perform
must include a provision to adjust, as provided in subsection (2), the standard prevailing rate of wages to be paid to the
workers performing the contract.
(2) The standard prevailing rate of wages paid to workers under a contract subject to this section must be adjusted 12
months after the date of the award of the public works contract. The amount of the adjustment must be a 3%increase. The
adjustment must be made and applied every 12 months for the term of the contract.
(3)Any increase in the standard rate ofprevailing wages for workers under this section is the sole responsibility of the
contractor and any subcontractors and not the contracting agency."
3
G. Fringe Benefits
Section 18-2-412, MCA states:
"(1) To full the obligation...a contractor or subcontractor may:
(a)pay the amount of fringe benefits and the basic hourly rate of pay that is part of the standard prevailing rate of wages
directly to the worker or employee in cash;
(b)make an irrevocable contribution to a trustee or a third person pursuant to a fringe benefit fund,plan, or program that
meets the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that is a bona fide program approved
by the U. S. department of labor; or
(c)make payments using any combination of methods set forth in subsections (1)(a)and(1)(b)so that the aggregate of
payments and contributions is not less than the standard prevailing rate of wages, including fringe benefits and travel
allowances, applicable to the district for the particular type of work being performed.
(2) The fringe benefit fund,plan, or program described in subsection (1)(b) must provide benefits to workers or employees
for health care,pensions on retirement or death, life insurance, disability and sickness insurance, or bona fide programs
that meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or that are approved by the U. S.
department of labor."
Fringe benefits are paid for all hours worked(straight time and overtime hours). However, fringe benefits are not to be
considered a part of the hourly rate of pay for calculating overtime, unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in
effect that specifies otherwise.
H. Dispatch City
ARM,24.17.103(11),defines dispatch city as "...the courthouse in the city from the following list which is closest to the center
of the job:Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, and Missoula."
I. Zone Pay
Zone pay is not travel pay. ARM,24.17.103(24),defines zone pay as "...an amount added to the base pay; the combined sum
then becomes the new base wage rate to be paid for all hours worked on the project. Zone pay must be determined by
measuring the road miles one way over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city to the center of the job."
See section H above for a list of dispatch cities.
J. Computing Travel Benefits
ARM,24.17.103(22),states " `Travel pay,'also referred to as `travel allowance,'is and must be paid for travel both to and
from the job site, except those with special provisions listed under the classification. The rate is determined by measuring the
road miles one direction over the shortest practical maintained route from the dispatch city or the employee's home, whichever
is closer, to the center of the job." See section H above for a list of dispatch cities.
K.Per Diem
ARM,24.17.103(18),states " Per diem'typically covers costs associated with board and lodging expenses.Per diem is paid
when an employee is required to work at a location outside the daily commuting distance and is required to stay at that location
overnight or longer. "
L.Apprentices
Wage rates for apprentices registered in approved federal or state apprenticeship programs are contained in those
programs. Additionally, Section 18-2-416(2), MCA states, "...The full amount of any applicable fringe benefits must be
paid to the apprentice while the apprentice is working on the public works contract." Apprentices not registered in
approved federal or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the appropriate journey level prevailing wage rate when
working on a public works contract.
4
M.Posting Notice of Prevailing Wages
Section 18-2-406,MCA,provides that contractors,subcontractors,and employers who are "...performing work or
providing construction services under public works contracts, as provided in this part, shall post in a prominent and
accessible site on the project or staging area, not later than the first day of work and continuing for the entire duration of
the project, a legible statement of all wages and fringe benefits to be paid to the employees."
N.Employment Preference
Sections 18-2-403 and 18-2-409,MCA require contractors to give preference to the employment of bona fide Montana
residents in the performance of work on public works contracts.
O.Projects of a Mixed Nature
Section 18-2-408,MCA states:
"(1) The contracting agency shall determine, based on the preponderance of labor hours to be worked, whether the public
works construction services project is classified as a highway construction project, a heavy construction project, or a building
construction project.
(2) Once the project has been classified, employees in each trade classification who are working on that project must be paid at
the rate for that project classification"
P.Occupations Definitions
You can find definitions for these occupations on the following Bureau of Labor Statistics website:
http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes stru.htm
Q.Welder Rates
Welders receive the rate prescribed for the craft performing an operation to which welding is incidental.
R.Foreman Rates
Rates are no longer set for foremen. However,if a foreman performs journey level work,the foreman must be paid at
least the journey level rate.
S.Proper Classification for Pipefitter and Laborer/Pipelayer Work on Water and Waste Water Treatment Plants
The proper classification for the following work is Pipefitter,when it is performed inside a building structure or
performed at a location which will later be inside of a building:Joining steel pipe larger than 12 inches in diameter with
bolted flange connections that has been pre-fabricated off site and does not require any modification such as cutting,
grinding,welding,or other fabrication in order to be installed. All other work previously classified as pipefitter remains in
that classification.The proper classification for that work when it is at a location that will always be outside a building is
Pipelayer,which is under the Laborer Group 3 classification.

318 Authorization Review
I have reviewed the above project on behalf of the Montana Department of
Environmental Quality(DEQ) pursuant to the Montana Water Quality Act Short-term
Water Quality Standards for Turbidity 75-5-318 MCA:
O This project will not increase turbidity if completed according to the conditions listed
in the 310 or 124 permit. Therefore, application to DEQ for a 318 authorization is not
required.
Impacts to the physical and biological environment from turbidity generated as a
result of this project are uncertain. Therefore,the applicant must contact the Montana
ODepartment of Environmental Quality, 1520 East Sixth Avenue, Box 200901, Helena,
MT 59620-0901,(406 444-3080) to determine project specific narrative conditions
required to meet short-term water quality standards and protect aquatic biota.
Turbidity generated from this project is expected to be short-term and have only
temporary and minor impacts on the physical and biological environment. Therefore,
Ocompliance with the conditions stated in the attached letter outlining DEQ's Short
Term Water Quality Standard for Turbidity Related to Construction Activity, as
well as other conditions listed in the 310 or 124 permit,are appropriate for this

Commercial and Institutional Developments
Discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal waters of the United States for the
construction or expansion of commercial and institutional building foundations and
building pads and attendant features that are necessary for the use and maintenance of
the structures. Attendant features may include, but are not limited to, roads, parking
lots, garages, yards, utility lines, storm water management facilities, wastewater
treatment facilities, and recreation facilities such as playgrounds and playing fields.
Examples of commercial developments include retail stores, industrial facilities,
restaurants, business parks, and shopping centers. Examples of institutional
developments include schools, fire stations, government office buildings, judicial
buildings, public works buildings, libraries, hospitals, and places of worship. The
construction of new golf courses and new ski areas is not authorized by this NWP.
The discharge must not cause the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of non-tidal waters of the
United States. The discharge must not cause the loss of more than 300 linear feet of
stream bed, unless for intermittent and ephemeral stream beds the district engineer
waives the 300 linear foot limit by making a written determination concluding that the
discharge will result in no more than minimal adverse environmental effects. The loss of
stream bed plus any other losses of jurisdictional wetlands and waters caused by the
NWP activity cannot exceed 12-acre. This NWP does not authorize discharges into
non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters.
Notification: The permittee must submit a pre-construction notification to the district
engineer prior to commencing the activity. (See general condition 32.)
(Authorities: Sections 10 and 404)
Note: For any activity that involves the construction of a wind energy generating
structure, solar tower, or overhead transmission line, a copy of the PCN and NWP
verification will be provided to the Department of Defense Siting Clearinghouse, which
will evaluate potential effects on military activities.
Nationwide Permit General Conditions
Note: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the
following general conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case-specific
conditions imposed by the division engineer or district engineer. Prospective permittees
should contact the appropriate Corps district office to determine if regional conditions
have been imposed on an NWP. Prospective permittees should also contact the
appropriate Corps district office to determine the status of Clean Water Act Section 401
water quality certification and/or Coastal Zone Management Act consistency for an
NWP. Every person who may wish to obtain permit authorization under one or more
NWPs, or who is currently relying on an existing or prior permit authorization under one
Effective 19 March 2017
or more NWPs, has been and is on notice that all of the provisions of 33 CFR 330.1
through 330.6 apply to every NWP authorization. Note especially 33 CFR 330.5 relating
to the modification, suspension, or revocation of any NWP authorization.
1. Navigation.
(a) No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
(b) Any safety lights and signals prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through
regulations or otherwise, must be installed and maintained at the permittee's expense
on authorized facilities in navigable waters of the United States.
(c) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal, relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein
authorized, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized
representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free
navigation.of the navigable waters, the permittee will be required, upon due notice from
the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions
caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against
the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
2. Aquatic Life Movements.
No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of those
species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that
normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound
water. All permanent and temporary crossings of waterbodies shall be suitably
culverted, bridged, or otherwise designed and constructed to maintain low flows to
sustain the movement of those aquatic species. If a bottomless culvert cannot be used,
then the crossing should be designed and constructed to minimize adverse effects to
aquatic life movements.
3. Spawning Areas.
Activities in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum
extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., through
excavation, fill, or downstream smothering by substantial turbidity) of an important
spawning area are not authorized.
4. Migratory Bird Breeding Areas.
Activities in waters of the United States that serve as breeding areas for migratory birds
must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
5. Shellfish Beds.
Effective 19 March 2017
No activity may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity
is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWPs 4 and 48, or is a
shellfish seeding or habitat restoration activity authorized by NWP 27.
6. Suitable Material.
No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.).
Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic
amounts (see section 307 of the Clean Water Act).
7. Water Supply Intakes.
No activity may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake, except where the
activity is for the repair or improvement of public water supply intake structures or
adjacent bank stabilization.
8. Adverse Effects from Impoundments.
If the activity creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects to the aquatic system
due to accelerating the passage of water, and/or restricting its flow must be minimized
to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Management of Water Flows.
To the maximum extent practicable, the pre-construction course, condition, capacity,
and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream
channelization, storm water management activities, and temporary and permanent road
crossings, except as provided below. The activity must be constructed to withstand
expected high flows. The activity must not restrict or impede the passage of normal or
high flows, unless the primary purpose of the activity is to impound water or manage
high flows. The activity may alter the pre- construction course, condition, capacity, and
location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or
relocation activities).
10. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains.
The activity must comply with applicable FEMA-approved state or local floodplain
management requirements.
11. Equipment.
Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
Effective 19 March 2017
12. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls.
Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used and maintained in
effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as
well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be
permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to
perform work within waters of the United States during periods of low-flow or no-flow, or
during low tides.
13. Removal of Temporary Fills.
Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre-
construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated, as appropriate.
14. Proper Maintenance.
Any authorized structure or fill shall be properly maintained, including maintenance to
ensure public safety and compliance with applicable NWP general conditions, as well as
any activity-specific conditions added by the district engineer to an NWP authorization.
15. Single and Complete Proiect.
The activity must be a single and complete project. The same NWP cannot be used
more than once for the same single and complete project.
16. Wild and Scenic Rivers.
(a) No NWP activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River
System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible
inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, unless the
appropriate Federal agency with direct management responsibility for such river, has
determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and
Scenic River designation or study status.
(b) If a proposed NWP activity will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic
River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for
possible inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, the
permittee must submit a pre-construction notification (see general condition 32). The
district engineer will coordinate the PCN with the Federal agency with direct
management responsibility for that river. The permittee shall not begin the NWP activity
until notified by the district engineer that the Federal agency with direct management
responsibility for that river has determined in writing that the proposed NWP activity will
not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation or study status.
(c) Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate
Federal land management agency responsible for the designated Wild and Scenic River
or study river (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Effective 19 March 2017
Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Information on these rivers is also
available at: http://www.rivers.gov/.
17. Tribal Rights.
No NWP activity may cause more than minimal adverse effects on tribal rights
(including treaty rights), protected tribal resources, or tribal lands.
18. Endangered Species.
(a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to directly or indirectly
jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act
(ESA), or which will directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat
of such species. No activity is authorized under any NWP which "may affect" a listed
species or critical habitat, unless ESA section 7 consultation addressing the effects of
the proposed activity has been completed. Direct effects are the immediate effects on
listed species and critical habitat caused by the NWP activity. Indirect effects are those
effects on listed species and critical habitat that are caused by the NWP activity and are
later in time, but still are reasonably certain to occur.
(b) Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the
requirements of the ESA. If pre- construction notification is required for the proposed
activity, the Federal permittee must provide the district engineer with the appropriate
documentation to demonstrate compliance with those requirements. The district
engineer will verify that the appropriate documentation has been submitted. If the
appropriate documentation has not been submitted, additional ESA section 7
consultation may be necessary for the activity and the respective federal agency would
be responsible for fulfilling its obligation under section 7 of the ESA.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district
engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the
vicinity of the activity, or if the activity is located in designated critical habitat, and shall
not begin work on the activity until notified by the district engineer that the requirements
of the ESA have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. For activities that
might affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species or designated critical
habitat, the pre-construction notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or
threatened species that might be affected by the proposed activity or that utilize the
designated critical habitat that might be affected by the proposed activity. The district
engineer will determine whether the proposed activity "may affect" or will have "no
effect" to listed species and designated critical habitat and will notify the non-Federal
applicant of the Corps' determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-
construction notification. In cases where the non- Federal applicant has identified listed
species or critical habitat that might be affected or is in the vicinity of the activity, and
has so notified the Corps, the applicant shall not begin work until the Corps has
provided notification that the proposed activity will have "no effect" on listed species or
critical habitat, or until ESA section 7 consultation has been completed. If the non-
Effective 19 March 2017
Federal applicant has not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must
still wait for notification from the Corps.
(d) As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS the district
engineer may add species- specific permit conditions to the NWPs.
(e) Authorization of an activity by an NWP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened
or endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate
authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental
take" provisions, etc.) from the FWS or the NMFS, the Endangered Species Act
prohibits any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to take a listed
species, where "take" means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word "harm" in the
definition of"take" means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may
include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures
wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding,
feeding or sheltering.
(f) If the non-federal permittee has a valid ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take permit
with an approved Habitat Conservation Plan for a project or a group of projects that
includes the proposed NWP activity, the non-federal applicant should provide a copy of
that ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit with the PCN required by paragraph (c) of this
general condition. The district engineer will coordinate with the agency that issued the
ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit to determine whether the proposed NWP activity and
the associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section 7
consultation conducted for the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit. If that coordination
results in concurrence from the agency that the proposed NWP activity and the
associated incidental take were considered in the internal ESA section 7 consultation for
the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit, the district engineer does not need to conduct a
separate ESA section 7 consultation for the proposed NWP activity. The district
engineer will notify the non-federal applicant within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-
construction notification whether the ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit covers the
proposed NWP activity or whether additional ESA section 7 consultation is required.
(g) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical
habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the FWS and NMFS or their world
wide Web pages at http://www.fws.gov/ or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and http://
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/esa/ respectively.
19. Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden Eagles.
The permittee is responsible for ensuring their action complies with the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The permittee is responsible
for contacting appropriate local office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine
applicable measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds or eagles, including whether
"incidental take" permits are necessary and available under the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act or Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act for a particular activity.
20. Historic Properties.
Effective 19 March 2017
(a) In cases where the district engineer determines that the activity may have the
potential to cause effects to properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National
Register of Historic Places, the activity is not authorized, until the requirements of
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) have been satisfied.
(b) Federal permittees should follow their own procedures for complying with the
requirements of section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. If pre-construction
notification is required for the proposed NWP activity, the Federal permittee must
provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will verify that the appropriate
documentation has been submitted. If the appropriate documentation is not submitted,
then additional consultation under section 106 may be necessary. The respective
federal agency is responsible for fulfilling its obligation to comply with section 106.
(c) Non-federal permittees must submit a pre-construction notification to the district
engineer if the NWP activity might have the potential to cause effects to any historic
properties listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for
listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including previously unidentified
properties. For such activities, the pre- construction notification must state which historic
properties might have the potential to be affected by the proposed NWP activity or
include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic properties or the potential for
the presence of historic properties. Assistance regarding information on the location of,
or potential for, the presence of historic properties can be sought from the State Historic
Preservation Officer, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, or designated tribal
representative, as appropriate, and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33
CFR 330.4(g)). When reviewing pre-construction notifications, district engineers will
comply with the current procedures for addressing the requirements of section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act. The district engineer shall make a reasonable
and good faith effort to carry out appropriate identification efforts, which may include
background research, consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation,
and field survey. Based on the information submitted in the PCN and these identification
efforts, the district engineer shall determine whether the proposed NWP activity has the
potential to cause effects on the.historic properties. Section 106 consultation is not
required when the district engineer determines that the activity does not have the
potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR 800.3(a)). Section 106
consultation is required when the district engineer determines that the activity has the
potential to cause effects on historic properties. The district engineer will conduct
consultation with consulting parties identified under 36 CFR 800.2(c) when he or she
makes any of the following effect determinations for the purposes of section 106 of the
NHPA: no historic properties affected, no adverse effect, or adverse effect. Where the
non-Federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the activity might have
the potential to cause effects and so notified the Corps, the non-Federal applicant shall
not begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no
potential to cause effects to historic properties or that NHPA section 106 consultation
has been completed.
(d) For non-federal permittees, the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee
within 45 days of receipt of a complete pre-construction notification whether NHPA
section 106 consultation is required. If NHPA section 106 consultation is required, the
Effective 19 March 2017
district engineer will notify the non- Federal applicant that he or she cannot begin the
activity until section 106 consultation is completed. If the non-Federal applicant has not
heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for notification
from the Corps.
(e) Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA (54 U.S.C.
306113) prevents the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant
who, with intent to avoid the requirements of section 106 of the NHPA, has
intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic property to which the permit
would relate, or having legal power to prevent it, allowed such significant adverse effect
to occur, unless the Corps, after consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (ACHP), determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance
despite the adverse effect created or permitted by the applicant. If circumstances justify
granting the assistance, the Corps is required to notify the ACHP and provide
documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of damage to the integrity of
any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation must
include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes
if the undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects
properties of interest to those tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate
interest in the impacts to the permitted activity on historic properties.
21. Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts.
If you discover any previously unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and
artifacts while accomplishing the activity authorized by this permit, you must
immediately notify the district engineer of what you have found, and to the maximum
extent practicable, avoid construction activities that may affect the remains and artifacts
until the required coordination has been completed. The district engineer will initiate the
Federal, Tribal, and state coordination required to determine if the items or remains
warrant a recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places.
22. Designated Critical Resource Waters.
Critical resource waters include, NOAA-managed marine sanctuaries and marine
monuments, and National Estuarine Research Reserves. The district engineer may
designate, after notice and opportunity for public comment, additional waters officially
designated by a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance,
such as outstanding national resource waters or state natural heritage sites. The district
engineer may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and
opportunity for public comment.
(a) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not
authorized by NWPs 7, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, and
52 for any activity within, or directly affecting, critical resource waters, including
wetlands adjacent to such waters.
(b) For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, and 54,
notification is required in accordance with general condition 32, for any activity proposed
Effective 19 March 2017
in the designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters.
The district engineer may authorize activities under these NWPs only after it is
determined that the impacts to the critical resource waters will be no more than minimal.
23. Mitigation.
The district engineer will consider the following factors when determining appropriate
and practicable mitigation necessary to ensure that the individual and cumulative
adverse environmental effects are no more than minimal:
(a) The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse
effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum
extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on site).
(b) Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing, or compensating
for resource losses) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the individual
and cumulative adverse environmental effects are no more than minimal.
(c) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all
wetland losses that exceed 1AO-acre and require pre- construction notification, unless
the district engineer determines in writing that either some other form of mitigation
would be more environmentally appropriate or the adverse environmental effects of the
proposed activity are no more than minimal, and provides an activity-specific waiver of
this requirement. For wetland losses of 1/10-acre or less that require pre- construction
notification, the district engineer may determine on a case-by- case basis that
compensatory mitigation is required to ensure that the activity results in only minimal
adverse environmental effects.
(d) For losses of streams or other open waters that require pre-construction notification,
the district engineer may require compensatory mitigation to ensure that the activity
results in no more than minimal adverse environmental effects. Compensatory
mitigation for losses of streams should be provided, if practicable, through stream
rehabilitation, enhancement, or preservation, since streams are difficult- to-replace
resources (see 33 CFR 332.3(e)(3)).
(e) Compensatory mitigation plans for NWP activities in or near streams or other open
waters will normally include a requirement for the restoration or enhancement,
maintenance, and legal protection (e.g., conservation easements) of riparian areas next
to open waters. In some cases, the restoration or maintenance/protection of riparian
areas may be the only compensatory mitigation required. Restored riparian areas
should consist of native species. The width of the required riparian area will address
documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns.
Normally, the riparian area will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the
district engineer may require slightly wider riparian areas to address documented water
quality or habitat loss concerns. If it is not possible to restore or maintain/protect a
riparian area on both sides of a stream, or if the waterbody is a lake or coastal waters,
then restoring or maintaining/protecting a riparian area along a single bank or shoreline
may be sufficient. Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the
district engineer will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., riparian
areas and/or wetlands compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic
environment on a watershed basis. In cases where riparian areas are determined to be
Effective 19 March 2017
the most appropriate form of minimization or compensatory mitigation, the district
engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory
mitigation for wetland losses.
(f) Compensatory mitigation projects provided to offset losses of aquatic resources must
comply with the applicable provisions of 33 CFR part 332.
(1) The prospective permittee is responsible for proposing an appropriate
compensatory mitigation option if compensatory mitigation is necessary to ensure that
the activity results in no more than minimal adverse environmental effects. For the
NWPs, the preferred mechanism for providing compensatory mitigation is mitigation
bank credits or in-lieu fee program credits (see 33 CFR 332.3(b)(2) and (3)). However, if
an appropriate number and type of mitigation bank or in-lieu credits are not available at
the time the PCN is submitted to the district engineer, the district engineer may approve
the use of permittee-responsible mitigation.
(2) The amount of compensatory mitigation required by the district engineer must
be sufficient to ensure that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal
individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects (see 33 CFR 330.1(e)(3)). (See
also 33 CFR 332.3(f)).
(3) Since the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially
valuable uplands are reduced, aquatic resource restoration should be the first
compensatory mitigation option considered for permittee-responsible mitigation.
(4) If permittee-responsible mitigation is the proposed option, the prospective
permittee is responsible for submitting a mitigation plan. A conceptual or detailed
mitigation plan may be used by the district engineer to make the decision on the NWP
verification request, but a final mitigation plan that addresses the applicable
requirements of 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (14) must be approved by the district
engineer before the permittee begins work in waters of the United States, unless the
district engineer determines that prior approval of the final mitigation plan is not
practicable or not necessary to ensure timely completion of the required compensatory
mitigation (see 33 CFR 332.3(k)(3)).
(5) If mitigation bank or in-lieu fee program credits are the proposed option, the
mitigation plan only needs to address the baseline conditions at the impact site and the
number of credits to be provided.
(6) Compensatory mitigation requirements (e.g., resource type and amount to be
provided as compensatory mitigation, site protection, ecological performance standards,
monitoring requirements) may be addressed through conditions added to the NWP
authorization, instead of components of a compensatory mitigation plan (see 33 CFR
332.4(c)(1)(ii)).
(g) Compensatory mitigation will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by
the acreage limits of the NWPs. For example, if an NWP has an acreage limit of 1/2-
acre, it cannot be used to authorize any NWP activity resulting in the loss of greater
than W- 'acre of waters of the United States, even if compensatory mitigation is
provided that replaces or restores some of the lost waters. However, compensatory
mitigation can and should be used, as necessary, to ensure that an NWP activity
already meeting the established acreage limits also satisfies the no more than minimal
impact requirement for the NWPs.
Effective 19 March 2017
(h) Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee programs, or
permittee-responsible mitigation. When developing a compensatory mitigation proposal,
the permittee must consider appropriate and practicable options consistent with the
framework at 33 CFR 332.3(b). For activities resulting in the loss of marine or estuarine
resources, permittee- responsible mitigation may be environmentally preferable if there
are no mitigation banks or in-lieu fee programs in the area that have marine or estuarine
credits available for sale or transfer to the permittee. For permittee- responsible
mitigation, the special conditions of the NWP verification must clearly indicate the party
or parties responsible for the implementation and performance of the compensatory
mitigation project, and, if required, its long-term management.
(i) Where certain functions and services of waters of the United States are permanently
adversely affected by a regulated activity, such as discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the United States that will convert a forested or scrub-shrub wetland to a
herbaceous wetland in a permanently maintained utility line right-of-way, mitigation may
be required to reduce the adverse environmental effects of the activity to the no more
than minimal level.
24. Safety of Impoundment Structures.
To ensure that all impoundment structures are safely designed, the district engineer
may require non-Federal applicants to demonstrate that the structures comply with
established state dam safety criteria or have been designed by qualified persons. The
district engineer may also require documentation that the design has been
independently reviewed by similarly qualified persons, and appropriate modifications
made to ensure safety.
25. Water Quality.
Where States and authorized Tribes, or EPA where applicable, have not previously
certified compliance of an NWP with CWA section 401 , individual 401 Water Quality
Certification must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(c)). The district engineer or
State or Tribe may require additional water quality management measures to ensure
that the authorized activity does not result in more than minimal degradation of water
quality.
26. Coastal Zone Management.
In coastal states where an NWP has not previously received a state coastal zone
management consistency concurrence, an individual state coastal zone management
consistency concurrence must be obtained, or a presumption of concurrence must
occur (see 33 CFR 330.4(d)). The district engineer or a State may require additional
measures to ensure that the authorized activity is consistent with state coastal zone
management requirements.
27. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions.
Effective 19 March 2017
The activity must comply with any regional conditions that may have been added by the
Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific conditions added
by the Corps or by the state, Indian Tribe, or U.S. EPA in its section 401 Water Quality
Certification, or by the state in its Coastal Zone Management Act consistency
determination.
28. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits.
The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project is prohibited, except
when the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by the NWPs does not
exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the highest specified acreage limit. For
example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under NWP 14, with
associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of
waters of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1/3-acre.
29. Transfer of Nationwide Permit Verifications.
If the permittee sells the property associated with a nationwide permit verification, the
permittee may transfer the nationwide permit verification to the new owner by submitting
a letter to the appropriate Corps district office to validate the transfer. A copy of the
nationwide permit verification must be attached to the letter, and the letter must contain
the following statement and signature:
When the structures or work authorized by this nationwide permit are still in
existence at the time the property is transferred, the terms and conditions of this
nationwide permit, including any special conditions, will continue to be binding
on the new owner(s) of the property. To validate the transfer of this nationwide
permit and the associated liabilities associated with compliance with its terms
and conditions, have the transferee sign and date below.
(Transferee)
(Date)
30. Compliance Certification.
Each permittee who receives an NWP verification letter from the Corps must provide a
signed certification documenting completion of the authorized activity and
implementation of any required compensatory mitigation. The success of any required
permittee-responsible mitigation, including the achievement of ecological performance
standards, will be addressed separately by the district engineer. The Corps will provide
the permittee the certification document with the NWP verification letter. The
certification document will include:
(a) A statement that the authorized activity was done in accordance with the NWP
authorization, including any general, regional, or activity-specific conditions;
(b) A statement that the implementation of any required compensatory mitigation was
completed in accordance with the permit conditions. If credits from a mitigation bank or
Effective 19 March 2017
in-lieu fee program are used to satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements, the
certification must include the documentation required by 33 CFR 332.3(I)(3) to confirm
that the permittee secured the appropriate number and resource type of credits; and
(c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the activity and mitigation.
The completed certification document must be submitted to the district engineer within
30 days of completion of the authorized activity or the implementation of any required
compensatory mitigation, whichever occurs later.
31. Activities Affecting Structures or Works Built by the United States.
If an NWP activity also requires permission from the Corps pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 408
because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) federally authorized Civil Works project (a "USACE project"), the
prospective permittee must submit a pre- construction notification. See paragraph
(b)(10) of general condition 32. An activity that requires section 408 permission is not
authorized by NWP until the appropriate Corps office issues the section 408 permission
to alter, occupy, or use the USACE project, and the district engineer issues a written
NWP verification.
32. Pre-Construction Notification.
(a) Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective permittee must
notify the district engineer by submitting a pre-construction notification (PCN) as early
as possible. The district engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30
calendar days of the date of receipt and, if the PCN is determined to be incomplete,
notify the prospective permittee within that 30 day period to request the additional
information necessary to make the PCN complete. The request must specify the
information needed to make the PCN complete. As a general rule, district engineers will
request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once.
However, if the prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information,
then the district engineer will notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still
incomplete and the PCN review process will not commence until all of the requested
information has been received by the district engineer. The prospective permittee shall
not begin the activity until either:
(1) He or she is notified in writing by the district engineer that the activity may
proceed under the NWP with any special conditions imposed by the district or division
engineer; or
(2) 45 calendar days have passed from the district engineer's receipt of the
complete PCN and the prospective permittee has not received written notice from the
district or division engineer. However, if the permittee was required to notify the Corps
pursuant to general condition 18 that listed species or critical habitat might be affected
or are in the vicinity of the activity, or to notify the Corps pursuant to general condition
20 that the activity might have the potential to cause effects to historic properties, the.
permittee cannot begin the activity until receiving written notification from the Corps that
there is "no effect" on listed species or "no potential to cause effects" on historic
properties, or that any consultation required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Effective 19 March 2017
Act (see 33 CFR 330.4(f)) and/or section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(see 33 CFR 330.4(g)) has been completed. Also, work cannot begin under NWPs 21,
49, or 50 until the permittee has received written approval from the Corps. If the
proposed activity requires a written waiver to exceed specified limits of an NWP, the
permittee may not begin the activity until the district engineer issues the waiver. If the
district or division engineer notifies the permittee in writing that an individual permit is
required within 45 calendar days of receipt of a complete PCN, the permittee cannot
begin the activity until an individual permit has been obtained. Subsequently, the
permittee's right to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked
only in accordance with the procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).
(b) Contents of Pre-Construction Notification: The PCN must be in writing and include
the following information:
(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee;
(2) Location of the proposed activity;
(3) Identify the specific NWP or NWP(s) the prospective permittee wants to use
to authorize the proposed activity;
(4) A description of the proposed activity; the activity's purpose; direct and
indirect adverse environmental effects the activity would cause, including the anticipated
amount of loss of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters expected to
result from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or other appropriate unit of measure; a
description of any proposed mitigation measures intended to reduce the adverse
environmental effects caused by the proposed activity; and any other NWP(s), regional
general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any
part of the proposed project or any related activity, including other separate and distant
crossings for linear projects that require Department of the Army authorization but do
not require pre-construction notification. The description of the proposed activity and
any proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed to allow the district
engineer to determine that the adverse environmental effects of the activity will be no
more than minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation or other
mitigation measures. For single and complete linear projects, the PCN must include the
quantity of anticipated losses of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters
for each single and complete crossing of those wetlands, other special aquatic sites,
and other waters. Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the
activity complies with the terms of the NWP. (Sketches usually clarify the activity and
when provided results in a quicker decision. Sketches should contain sufficient detail to
provide an illustrative description of the proposed activity (e.g., a conceptual plan), but
do not need to be detailed engineering plans);
(5) The PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites,
and other waters, such as lakes and ponds, and perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral
streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with
the current method required by the Corps. The permittee may ask the Corps to
delineate the special aquatic sites and other waters on the project site, but there may be
a delay if the Corps does the delineation, especially if the project site is large or
contains many wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters. Furthermore, the
45 day period will not start until the delineation has been submitted to or completed by
the Corps, as appropriate;
Effective 19 March 2017
(6) If the proposed activity will result in the loss of greater than 1AO-acre of
wetlands and a PCN is required, the prospective permittee must submit a statement
describing how the mitigation requirement will be satisfied, or explaining why the
adverse environmental effects are no more than minimal and why compensatory
mitigation should not be required. As an alternative, the prospective permittee may
submit a conceptual or detailed mitigation plan.
(7) For non-Federal permittees, if any listed species or designated critical habitat
might be affected or is in the vicinity of the activity, or if the activity is located in
designated critical habitat, the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or
threatened species that might be affected by the proposed activity or utilize the
designated critical habitat that might be affected by the proposed activity. For NWP
activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide
documentation demonstrating compliance with the Endangered Species Act.
(8) For non-Federal permittees, if the NWP activity might have the potential to
cause effects to a historic property listed on, determined to be eligible for listing on, or
potentially eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places, the PCN must
state which historic property might have the potential to be affected by the proposed
activity or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. For NWP
activities that require pre-construction notification, Federal permittees must provide
documentation demonstrating compliance with section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act;
(9) For an activity that will occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic
River System, or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for
possible inclusion in the system while the river is in an official study status, the PCN
must identify the Wild and Scenic River or the "study river" (see general condition 16);
and
(10) For an activity that requires permission from the Corps pursuant to 33
U.S.C. 408 because it will alter or temporarily or permanently occupy or use a U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers federally authorized civil works project, the pre-construction
notification must include a statement confirming that the project proponent has
submitted a written request for section 408 permission from the Corps office having
jurisdiction over that USACE project.
(c) Form of Pre-Construction Notification: The standard individual permit application
form (Form ENG 4345) may be used, but the completed application form must clearly
indicate that it is an NWP PCN and must include all of the applicable information
required in paragraphs (b)(1) through (10) of this general condition. A letter containing
the required information may also be used. Applicants may provide electronic files of
PCNs and supporting materials if the district engineer has established tools and
procedures for electronic submittals.
(d) Agency Coordination:
(1) The district engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state
agencies concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and conditions
of the NWPs and the need for mitigation to reduce the activity's adverse environmental
effects so that they are no more than minimal.
(2) Agency coordination is required for: (i) All NWP activities that require pre-
construction notification and result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the
Effective 19 March 2017
United States; (ii) NWP 21, 29, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 50, 51, and 52 activities that require
pre-construction notification and will result in the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of
stream bed; (iii) NWP 13 activities in excess of 500 linear feet, fills greater than one
cubic yard per running foot, or involve discharges of dredged or fill material into special
aquatic sites; and (iv) NWP 54 activities in excess of 500 linear feet, or that extend into
the waterbody more than 30 feet from the mean low water line in tidal waters or the
ordinary high water mark in the Great Lakes.
(3) When agency coordination is required, the district engineer will immediately
provide (e.g., via email, facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious
manner) a copy of the complete PCN to the appropriate Federal or state offices (FWS,
state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, and, if appropriate, the NMFS).
With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will have 10 calendar days from the date
the material is transmitted to notify the district engineer via telephone, facsimile
transmission, or email that they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments.
The comments must explain why the agency believes the adverse environmental effects
will be more than minimal. If so contacted by an agency, the district engineer will wait an
additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the pre- construction
notification. The district fully consider agency comments received within the specified
time frame concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and conditions
of the NWPs, including the need for mitigation to ensure the net adverse environmental
effects of the proposed activity are no more than minimal. The district engineer will
provide no response to the resource agency, except as provided below. The district
engineer will indicate in the administrative record associated with each pre-construction
notification that the resource agencies' concerns were considered. For NWP 37, the
emergency watershed protection and rehabilitation activity may proceed immediately in
cases where there is an unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property or
economic hardship will occur. The district engineer will consider any comments received
to decide whether the NWP 37 authorization should be modified, suspended, or revoked
in accordance with the procedures at 33 CFR 330.5.
(4) In cases of where the prospective permittee is not a Federal agency, the
district engineer will provide a response to NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of
any Essential Fish Habitat conservation recommendations, as required by section
305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
5) Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps with either electronic files or
multiple copies of pre- construction notifications to expedite agency coordination.

2017 NATIONWIDE PERMITS
REGIONAL CONDITIONS
OMAHA DISTRICT
STATE OF MONTANA
1. PCN Requirement. For all NWPs, permittees must notify the Corps in
accordance with General Condition No. 32 (PCN) for regulated activities, located
within or comprised of the following:
a. Wetlands Classified as Peatlands. Peatlands are seasonally waterlogged
areas with a surface accumulation of peat (organic matter) 30 centimeters (12
inches) or more thick. Any peat-covered areas, including fens, bogs, and
muskegs, are all peatlands.
i. PCN required for NWP 3, 5, 6, 20, 27, 32, and 38.
ii. All NWPs not listed above are revoked for use in peatlands.
b. Waters Adjacent to Natural Springs. Any projects located within 100 feet of
the water source in natural spring areas. A spring is defined as any location
where there is groundwater flow emanating from a distinct point. Springs do
not include seeps or other groundwater discharge areas where there is no
distinct point source.
c. Bank Stabilization Activities. Any project that involves bank stabilization
greater than 300 linear feet or includes features that extend out from the
existing bank line greater than 25% of the bankfull channel width.
d. Channel Straightening and Relocation Activities. Any project that involves
straightening, relocating and/or shortening an existing perennial stream
channel.
e. Tribal Reservations and Tribal Trust Lands. Any projects within the
boundaries of any Tribal Reservation or Tribal trust lands.
f. Specific Waterways Requiring PCN. Any projects within the following
waterways and their impoundments:
-Bitterroot River -Flathead Lake
-Clark Fork River (tributary to the -Milk River
Columbia River) -Missouri River
-Flathead River -Yellowstone River
2. Bank and Shoreline Stabilization Activities. The following additional
requirements apply to all bank and shoreline stabilization:
a. The revetment must conform to the existing bankline; must not extend above
the top of the bank (i.e. no new levees); and the slopes must be flatter than
the angle of repose for the selected revetment material (i.e. rock riprap
normally needs to be placed on a slope flatter than 1.5 Horizontal to 1 Vertical
Effective 19 March 2017
(1.5H:1 V).
b. The revetment must not wholly or partially block flows from entering a side
channel or an overflow channel.
3. Counter-Sinking Riprap Associated with Culvert Installation. When riprap
inlet and outlet protection is used below the OHWM (OHWM), it must be placed
to match the adjacent culvert bottom elevations. Where culvert bottom elevations
are lower than the stream bed elevation, the riprap must match the culvert
elevation.
4. Placement and Removal of Temporary Fills. Temporary fills in wetlands must
be placed on a horizontal marker layer, such as fabric or certified weed-free
straw, to delineate the pre-project ground elevation and facilitate complete fill
removal and site restoration.
5. Erosion and Sediment Control Blanket. All erosion control blanket or fabric
used in or adjacent to waters of the U.S. must be comprised of degradable
material to ensure decomposition. Do not use material that includes stabilized
netting or stabilized open mesh, as these products take a long time to degrade
and they can trap small animals, birds, amphibians and fish. This prohibition also
applies to mesh materials used for wattles, rolled materials, and bank wraps.
Erosion control blanket or fabrics that break down within 24 months are
acceptable. Non-degradable blankets or fabric may be allowed on a case-specific
basis if it will be buried beneath riprap or structures and it is not likely to be
exposed. Non-degradable blanket or fabric that becomes exposed within waters
of the U.S. must be removed.
6. Suitable Material. NWP General Condition No. 6 prohibits the use of unsuitable

REGIONAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO THE SPECIAL RIVER
MANAGEMENT ZONE OF THE UPPER YELLOWSTONE RIVER
Special River Management Zone (SRMZ) of the Upper Yellowstone River is defined
within the Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) as the 48-mile reach of the upper
Yellowstone River (River Miles 531 .8 to 483.6) from upstream of Emigrant River
downstream to a few miles below the Shields River and Mission Creek confluences (0.7
miles downstream from the bridge at the community of Springdale). It includes
secondary channels, side channels, and the main (primary) channels, and adjacent
wetlands within the channel migration zone (CMZ) or, in absence of a CMZ, within
areas flooded by the 100-year discharge. The SMRZ is located entirely within Park
County.
In addition to Regional Conditions 1 through 8, the following Regional Conditions 9
through 24 apply within the SRMZ described above:
9. SRMZ— Notification — All NWPs. Permittees must notify the Corps in
accordance with General Condition No. 32 (PCN) for any regulated activity in
waters of the U.S. within the SRMZ. This includes all activities within the
Yellowstone River, the portions of tributaries within the SRMZ, and wetlands
within the SRMZ.
10.SRMZ — Emergency Work. Activities requiring a Department of the Army (DA)
Permit that is necessary to prevent imminent loss of life or property is allowed
within the SRMZ. Contact the Corps as soon as reasonably possible by
telephone at 406-441-1375 and/or by Fax at 406-441-1380. Contact may also be
made in person or by sending an e-mail to: CENWO.ODRMT@usace.army.mil.
All such work will be fully reviewed under the SAMP provisions.
11.SRMZ - NWPs Revoked for Use. The following NWPs have been revoked for all
waters and activities within the 48-mile SRMZ:
NWP 17 - Hydropower Projects
NWP 21 - Surface Coal Mining Activities
NWP 29 - Residential Developments
NWP 39 - Commercial and Institutional Developments
NWP 42 - Recreational Facilities
NWP 43 - Stormwater Management Facilities
NWP 44 - Mining Activities
NWP 45 - Repair of Uplands Damaged by Discrete Events
NWP 49 - Coal Remining Activities
Effective 19 March 2017
NWP 50 - Underground Coal Mining Activities
12.SRMZ — Activities Requiring Individual Permit Review. The following project
activities are not authorized under a NWP in the SRMZ. These projects typically
have more than minimal adverse impacts and must be reviewed under standard
(individual) permit procedures.
a. New dams, new diversions, and/or new impoundments for any purpose;
b. Construction of ponds and new artificial stream channels, unless they are
necessary and appropriate elements of a stream or wetland restoration
project;
c. Hydraulic dredging and mining and mechanical excavation to obtain
aggregate, fill material, or minerals, including gold. Processing of material for
the purpose of obtaining select minerals or a specific gradation of material,
where only a portion of the sediment or alluvium is removed and the
remainder returned to the SRMZ, is not allowed under a NWP in the SRMZ.
13.SRMZ - Bank Stabilization Activities - All NWPs. For bank stabilization
activities associated with any NWP, including maintenance of bank stabilization,
the following Regional Conditions apply:
For bank revetments such as riprap, root wads, bioengineered revetments, or
combination revetments, a. through e. apply:
a. Revetments must conform to the existing eroded or eroding bankline, unless
such work is determined by the Corps to be biologically or geomorphically
beneficial for the upper Yellowstone River.
b. Revetment slopes must be flatter than the angle of repose for the selected
revetment material. For example, rock riprap normally needs to be placed on
a slope flatter than 1.5H:1 V.
c. Revetments are only permittable under NWPs if they are parallel to and near
the lateral boundaries of the SRMZ.
d. Revetments must not extend above the elevation of the adjacent natural bank
height (i.e., no new levees).
e. Revetments must not wholly or partially block flows from entering a side
channel, secondary channel, or an overflow channel, unless such work is
determined by the Corps to be necessary for maintaining or restoring the
geomorphic integrity of the upper Yellowstone River.
For bank stabilization structures that project into the stream, such as weirs,
barbs, vanes, or hard points, f. through k. apply:
f. Bank stabilization structures must not wholly or partially block flows from
entering a side channel, secondary channel, or an overflow channel, unless
such work is determined by the Corps to be necessary for maintaining or
restoring the geomorphic integrity of the upper Yellowstone River.
Effective 19 March 2017
g. Bank stabilization structures are only permittable under NWPs if they result in
an effective bankline that is approximately parallel to and near the lateral
boundaries of the CMZ.
h. Bank stabilization structures must be keyed into the bank far enough to prevent
flanking.
i. Bank stabilization structures cannot occupy more than 10% of the bankfull
channel area. Bankfull channel area pertains to the specific primary or
secondary channel in question, and is not the aggregate channel area of all
primary and secondary channels in multi-channel reaches.
j. Bank stabilization structures must not present hazardous obstructions to
boating, floating, or other river uses.
k. Bank stabilization structures that are low in elevation, project only a short
distance out from the bank, and angle upstream are more likely to qualify for
NWPs because they typically result in less adverse impact on aquatic
resources than structures that are tall, long, and point downstream.
14.SRMZ— Temporary Bank Stabilization — All NWPs. Temporary bank
stabilization is prohibited during seasonal high flows.
15.SRMZ — Sediment Management— All NWPs. Sediment removal is allowable
only to maintain function of existing facilities and structures, or as necessary to
maintain or restore the geomorphic integrity of the upper Yellowstone River.
Diversion or removal of sediment or alluvium from the river channel and adjacent
wetlands for other purposes is not allowed in the SRMZ under any NWP.
16.SRMZ — Temporary Vegetation Impacts —All NWPs. Limit clearing of riparian
or wetland vegetation to the absolute minimum necessary. Where temporary
riparian or wetland vegetation impacts are unavoidable, mow or cut off the
vegetation above the ground, leaving the topsoil and root mass intact. Restore
temporarily disturbed areas to original contours and use seeding and planting as
necessary to re-establish desirable vegetative cover, utilizing native species in
areas where native species were impacted.
17.SRMZ— NWP-11 —Temporary Recreational Structures. Temporary
recreational structures can be installed no earlier than seven (7) calendar days in
advance of an event and must be removed no later than seven (7) calendar days
after the event concludes.
18.SRMZ — NWP-12 — Utility Line Activities. Trench excavation and backfill for
utility lines is prohibited within the OHWM of main and secondary flow channels
and in adjacent wetlands.
19.SRMZ — NWP-13 — Bank Stabilization. Construction of temporary or permanent
levees is prohibited. Only bank stabilization that is parallel to and adjacent to the
valley wall and/or SRMZ boundary is allowed. All other bank stabilization must be
reviewed under standard (individual) permit procedures. Bank stabilization along
Effective 19 March 2017
existing roads, ditches, fills, and structures already located along the valley wall
is allowed under this Permit.
20.SRMZ— NWP-14 — Linear Transportation Protects. The construction of new
transportation facilities in waters of the U.S. is prohibited under this NWP and
must be reviewed under standard (individual) permit procedures. The expansion,
modification, improvement, replacement, reconstruction, and upgrading of
existing transportation facilities are allowed under this NWP within the SRMZ.
21.SRMZ — NWP- 27 —Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Establishment, and
Enhancement Activities. The construction of water control structures, dikes,
berms, current deflectors, bank stabilization, and ponds is prohibited within the
CMZ of the upper Yellowstone River unless it is demonstrated the proposed
features contribute to the restoration or rehabilitation of previously lost or
impaired functions of the upper Yellowstone River and adjacent aquatic areas.
22.SRMZ — NWP-30 — Moist Soil Management for Wildlife. Fire breaks within the
CMZ of the upper Yellowstone River must be reclaimed and restored within six
(6) months after the fire event ends.
23.SRMZ— NWP-33 —Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering.
Construction of temporary levees and other structures or fills in waters of the
U.S. that prevent or reduce overbank flow is prohibited.
24.SRMZ— NWP 40 — Agricultural Activities. Only those activities associated with
the reduction of existing adverse impacts on the upper Yellowstone River may be
authorized by this NWP. Examples of potentially allowable projects include work
associated with livestock management; moving livestock watering areas off the
river or out of the CMZ; removal of irrigation systems from the CMZ; and the
removal or conversion of irrigation systems from flood irrigation to sprinkler
irrigation.

temporary dams associated with construction activity.
3)This certification requires that materials used in stream bank or shore stabilization projects adhere to the
Montana Department of Environmental Quality's December 5,2000 guidelines for materials for stream
bagk stabilization. Tires may not be used to stabilize any banks in state waters.
4)This certification requires that all equipment be inspected for oil, gas,diesel,anti-freeze, hydraulic fluid
and other petroleum leaks. Equipment cannot continue operating in or near the water if a leak is
discovered.All such leaks will be properly repaired prior to equipment being allowed on the project site.
Leaks that occur after the equipment is moved to the project site will be fixed that same day or the next day
or be removed from the project area.If equipment is to be operated in or near water,a spill containment kit
shall be available at the project site and DEQ shall be notified of spills.
5)This certification requires that all permittees shall,to the maximum extent practicable, incorporate and
construct design features that eliminate bridge deck run-off containing sediment, salt,or other pollutants
from discharging directly into state water.To the extent practicable,bridge deck run-off,should be directed
to a detention basin of unspecified size prior to continuing into state waters.
6)This certification requires that riprap projects,to the extent practicable,avoid the use of geotextile fabric
as riprap bedding material.To the extent practicable,riprap voids shall incorporate approximately 30-50%
fines/soil and dormant plant material and/or root-stock.
F. Reopener Clause
DEQ reserves the right to add or alter terms and conditions as appropriate to carry out its responsibilities
with respect to water quality throughout the five year Nationwide Permit Cycle.
Policy on Streambank Stabilization
This policy outlines the guidelines for approved materials to be used for streambank stabilization in
Montana. This policy and a draft Environment Assessment were provided to the public for comment via
public notice MT-00-10 issued September 18,2000. Comments were accepted until October 17,2000.The
draft Environmental Assessment is adopted as the final Environmental Assessment with the Responses to
Comments incorporated.
Signed into policy 12/05/00 by Bonnie Lovelace, Chief, Water Protection Bureau and 12/06/00 by Jan
Sensibaugh, Administrator, Permitting&Compliance Division.
GUIDELINES FOR MATERIALS FOR STREAMBANK
STABILIZATION
The following guidelines represent the efforts of a work group composed of Conservation District
representatives, natural resource consultants, environmental interests, and state and federal regulatory
agencies. They are suggested by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and not necessarily
endorsed by all the work group members. These guidelines are only for use in areas where the use of
high- density, angular rock is not practicable. (The term "practicable" means available and capable of
being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall
project purposes [40 CFR 230.3(q)]). Sandstone or broken concrete may be acceptable alternatives to
high-density, angular rock in certain situations, although local regulation may prohibit their use. The use
of any river training device/structure may directly or cumulatively alter the ecology of Montana rivers
and streams. Cumulative impact considerations may preclude the use of any river training device.
Bank stabilization projects are sometimes authorized underthe followingjurisdictions:Local
Conservation District-Natural Streambed&Land Conservation Act(31 O);Montana Department of Fish
Wildlife and Parks—Stream Protection Act(SPA 124);County Floodplain Administrator-Floodplain
Permit;U.S.Army Corps of Engineers—Section 404/10 Permit;Montana Department of Environmental
Quality-75-5-318, MCA Authorization; Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation -
Navigable Rivers Land Use License/Easement.
The following optional design concepts should be considered in conjunction with the guidelines to
minimize environmental/aesthetic concerns:
• Utilize rock only in the lower* portion or toe of the riprap with woody structures/features,
biodegradable fabric, etc. in the upper* portions.
*The elevation at which the mean annual flow occurs is the division between "upper"and"lower."
Incorporate soil in the upper portions of the project with appropriate woody (usually willow)
plantings as near average water elevations as possible and herbaceous plantings elsewhere.
• Provide a temporary or permanent buffer strip(streamside area where protection promotes growth
and sustenance of woody vegetation) along the project length to provide for vegetation stability where
grazing or recreational use may impact plant growth.
• Preferably, plantings should be on slopes of 3:1 or flatter and irrigated, if possible.
(Note: Numerous documents with more detailed information are available. Contact the Natural Resource
Conservation Service or the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation for their "Stream Project
Manual.")
