Site Operation 

 Section VI 



A. GENERAL GUIDELINES 



1. Changing the course of any active channel should be avoided 



2. All gravel removal operations should be conducted in a clean and 

 efficient environmentally acceptable manner. For example: 



a. All fuels and toxic materials should be stored out of the flood- 

 plain 



b. Avoid fueling and servicing equipment within the active flood- 

 plain to reduce spills and disposal of materials (e.g., used 

 crankcase oil and lubricants) 



c. The by-products from support operations occurring at the material 

 site (such as gray water, domestic sewage and solid waste) should 

 be disposed of in an approved fashion (consult current Federal 

 and State regulations). In general these by-products should 



not be discarded within the active or inactive floodplains with- 

 out proper treatment. 



3. Floodplain access and travel should occur only as designated in the 

 approved work plan 



4. Buffer zones should not be disturbed in any manner that would reduce 

 their function. For example: 



a. Vegetative structure, width, and banks of flood-flow buffers 

 should not be altered 



b. Heavy equipment should not repeatedly traffic low-flow buffers, 

 or reduce their height or configuration
