SP 18 SECTION 8 – CONSTRUCTION 8‐1.01 HAZARDOUS WASTE AND CONTAINMENT When the presence of asbestos or hazardous substances are not shown on the plans or indicated in the specifications and the Contractor encounters materials which the Contractor reasonably believes to be asbestos or a hazardous substance as defined in Section 25914.1 of the Health and Safety Code, and the asbestos or hazardous substance has not been rendered harmless, the Contractor may continue work in unaffected areas reasonably believed to be safe. The Contractor shall immediately cease work in the affected area and report the condition to the Engineer in writing. In conformance with Section 25914.1 of the Health and Safety Code, removal of asbestos or hazardous substances including exploratory work to identify and determine the extent of the asbestos or hazardous substance will be performed by separate contract. If delay of work in the area delays the current controlling operation, the delay will be considered a right of way delay and the Contractor will be compensated for the delay in conformance with the provisions in Section 8‐1.07, “Delays,” of the Caltrans Specifications. 8‐1.02 DUST CONTROL Dust control shall conform to any requirements set forth in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Construction Notification Form, the provisions in Section 14‐9.03, “Dust Control” of the Caltrans Specifications and these Special Provisions.

The application of either water or dust palliative shall be under the control of the Engineer at all times." Watering shall conform to the provisions of Section 17, “Watering,” of the Caltrans Specifications and these Special Provisions.
