BMP 11. Reduce electricity use in temporary construction offices by using high <br />efficiency lighting and requiring that heating and cooling units be Energy Star compliant. <br />Require that all contractors develop and implement procedures for turning off computers, <br />lights, air conditioners, heaters, and other equipment each day at close of business. <br />Variance requested: Temporary construction offices will not be used for the <br />proposed soil investigations; therefore, this BMP does not apply. <br />BMP 12. For deliveries to project sites where the haul distance exceeds 100 miles and a <br />heavy duty class 7 or class 8 semi-truck or 53-foot or longer box type trailer is used for <br />hauling, a SmartWay27 certified truck will be used to the maximum extent feasible. <br />Variance requested: Vehicles of the type described above will not be needed for <br />the proposed soil investigations; therefore, this BMP does not apply. <br />BMP 13. Minimize the amount of cement in concrete by specifying higher levels of <br />cementitious material alternatives, larger aggregate, longer final set times, or lower <br />maximum strength where appropriate. <br />Variance requested: Concrete is not required for the proposed soil investigations; <br />therefore, this BMP does not apply. <br />BMP 14. Develop a project specific construction debris recycling and diversion program <br />to achieve a documented 50% diversion of construction waste. <br />Variance requested: The proposed soil investigations are not expected to generate <br />construction debris other than soil cuttings which must be disposed of at a landfill <br />per environmental permitting requirements; therefore, this BMP does not apply. <br />BMP 15. Evaluate the feasibility of restricting all material hauling on public roadways to <br />off-peak traffic congestion hours. During construction scheduling and execution <br />minimize, to the extent possible, uses of public roadways that would increase traffic <br />congestion. <br />Variance requested: The proposed project will not require substantial material <br />hauling and as the project location will change frequently, impacts to a particular <br />public roadway will be insignificant and unlikely to increase traffic congestion; <br />therefore, this BMP does not apply.
