Land Position

• Rosemont’s Project is located on Federal, State and Private Land

• Permit conditions due to these varying land ownerships are specific and not negotiable

• In general:

• No cross country travel is allowed

• Work areas will be strictly enforced

• Authorized personnel only may work behind restrictive/protective fencing

• Resource protective measures such as lighting, fire, or archaeological requirements can be enforced by

the Forest Service

• Non-compliance with ANY measure cited in a permit, authorization, or contract term can result in

• Permit requirements are spelled out in Rosemont’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and include:

• Preparation and maintenance of SWPPP

• List of potential pollutant sources

• Implementation of BMPs and erosion/sediment controls in work areas

• Structural controls (such as berms and straw wattles)

• Shall provide portable lighting equipment specifications/configurations for approval prior to mobilizing to site.

• Shall provide a daily log of portable lighting usage including lighting configuration, aimings, products used, and hours of operations per work location.

Lighting will be checked for compliance with requirements prior to mobilization by contractor. Failure to obtain required approvals prior to mobilization may be cause for stop work order.

Light Pollution Control - Light PlantsGeneral guidelines for site operation of

portable/temporary light plants are:

• Light plants may only be used during construction

activities occurring before sunrise or after sunset.

• Lighting must be turned off if work activity is

suspended.

• Focus lighting toward the hillside and at an angle

below the horizon or the ridgeline of the immediate

landscape.

• Directing light toward State Route 83, local

residential properties/buildings or the night sky is

strictly prohibited (unless authorized for

special/limited use by Environmental Department).

Other site specific lighting constraints to be

determined.

Light Pollution Control - Light PlantsCurrent specifications regarding light plants include:

• Only LED portable work light plants are allowed.

• 2700K or 3000K maximum correlated color temperature (CCT) LED sources.

• A maximum mounting height of about 25 feet.

• Luminaires shall be carefully aimed prior to each work shift to focus light to:

• Capture task area only; and

• Minimize off-site spill light and glare.

• Task lighting shall be extinguished when not needed.

• The following are prohibited from use as portable work lighting at

the Rosemont project:

• LED sources in excess of 3000 CCT

• Any metal halides

• High pressure sodium luminaires

• Balloon lights59

Fire Prevention

General guidelines and practices for fire prevention and control, include: • All equipment and vehicles must have a

round-nosed shovel and a fire extinguisher rated 2A:10B:C or larger.

• Where access across natural/vegetated areas is required, travel routes shall be wetted down.

• Vehicles shall be parked on cleared areas (pads/roads/work areas) and not on or over vegetation.

• A “Hot Work Permit” is required prior to performing hot work in all areas. Hot work includes activities such as welding, cutting and grinding.

• Additional requirements pertain to performing hot work in wildland or desert brush areas (i.e., undisturbed/ vegetated/uncultivated/grass areas).

Fire Prevention

Hot work in wildland or desert brush areas shall comply with the following:• The surrounding land is adequately wetted and/or

cleared.• Pre-approved areas will be cleared (as needed)

of vegetation within the plausible range of sparks for the activity.

• An adequate spark shield to prevent sparks from carrying may also be used

• A fire watch shall be in-place and have:• Two-way communication device, • A fire extinguisher rated 2A:10B:C or larger, • A shovel, and/or• Other available means of fire prevention (i.e., water

truck).

• A fire watch shall also watch for fire for 30 minutes after the hot work is complete, with a return check 90 minutes later.

Fire Prevention

Rosemont has developed spark protection guidelines outlined below:

• All internal combustion engines shall be equipped with qualified spark arresters that are maintained and unmodified and meet USDA Forest Service 5100-1a or the Society of Automotive Engineers Recommended Practices J335 or J350.

• Mufflers and catalytic converters on all vehicles shall be maintained in good working order.

• Vehicles with catalytic converters shall not be parked or operated in wildland or desert brush areas (i.e., undisturbed/uncultivated/grass areas) unless on a designated roadway.

Air Permit Compliance

• Water trucks shall be used on all areas or activities that could generate wind blown dust.

• Contractors, vendors, service vehicles all must keep under the posted speeds (or as directed by Rosemont).

• Contractors shall log work areas and watering schedules on their daily sheets.

Control fugitive dust emissions is specifically required to meet a “zero visible emissions” standard. Measures that must be taken to meet this standard include:

Air Permit Compliance

Contractor shall keep a daily log of the following:• Water source used to fill water truck (well, tank, impoundment, etc.)

• Fill time (and duration) and volume of water removed from source (gallons).
