9. Threshold vibration levels for this project
10. Procedures to be employed if thresholds are exceeded
11. Procedures to be employed for detection of ground movement
3.0 Specific Requirements:
The specific requirements for the CVMCP are as follows:
A. Minimum Vibration Monitoring Control Program Technical Requirements are as
follows:
1. Zone of Influence for Vibration Impacts - A/E to fill in
2. Threshold Vibration Levels - A/E to fill in
3. Mitigation Procedures if Thresholds are Exceeded during Construction -
A/E to fill in
CONTRACTOR must develop his own technical requirements for his CVMCP,
however, they must be at least as stringent as the criteria shown above.
B. CONTRACTOR shall identify and assign a Vibration Control Specialist (VCS)
to formulate and execute the CVMCP. The VCS shall be a Professional
Engineer, licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with a background in
geotechnical and structural engineering and shall have a minimum of 3 years of
demonstrated experience in vibration monitoring and related work. The
qualifications of the VCS shall be identified in the CVMCP.
C. Pre-Construction Structural Condition Assessment:
1. The CONTRACTOR shall retain a qualified engineering firm to
perform a pre-construction structural condition assessment to
document the conditions of nearby buildings and other sensitive nearby
s tructures prior to the beginning of construction. The pre-construction
structural condition assessment shall be performed on all properties
that could be affected by any construction activity due to, but not
limited to, vibration within the zone of influence, or as otherwise
defined in the approved CVMCP. The OWNER is responsible for
Last Revised July 18, 2018
3
contacting the individual property owners and obtaining permission for
the CONTRACTOR to perform the pre-construction structural
condition assessments. The CONTRACTOR shall allow a minimum
of four (4) weeks from approval of the CVMCP until start of the
pre-construction structural condition assessment, to allow the
OWNER to obtain permission from property owners. With the
written approval of the property owner, the pre-construction structural
condition assessment shall include video and photographic
documentation of all exteriors and interiors including installation of
crack monitors on façade or interior cracks that might propagate due to
construction vibrations. All documentation of existing building
conditions and information concerning the type and location of crack
monitors shall be submitted to the OWNER in a pre-construction
structural condition assessment report prior to construction.
2. The inspection of each and every residence and building shall include
a detailed inspection of the condition of all walls, floors, ceilings and
other structural elements, equipment that may be in place, pavements,
sidewalks, wells, and other miscellaneous structures that may become
subject to possible damage claims. Such deficiencies as noted shall be
suitably marked on the structure in such a manner as not to
permanently deface such structures. The conditions shall be recorded
in permanent notes accompanied by sketches and colored photographs
as required to fully delineate the extent of deficiencies.
3. The results of these inspections shall be recorded in typed form,
accompanied by the sketches and photographs, and shall be signed by
those making the inspection. The CONTRACTOR should, where
possible, have a representative of the property owner present during
these inspections and should secure the signature of the representative
on the completed documents.
4. Upon acceptance of the pre-construction structural condition
assessments by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall provide one
(1) copy to each impacted property owner who allowed permission
of the pre-construction structural condition assessment, for their
records, and three (3) copies of all assessments performed, to the
OWNER.
5. A pre-construction structural condition assessment report will be
prepared and include an evaluation to identify residential
Last Revised July 18, 2018
4
structures and features susceptible to damage due to contractor
activities as justification for selecting specific locations to
monitor cracks and vibrations during the construction.
D. Pre-Construction Horizontal and Vertical Survey:
1. In order to detect any settlement or movement of buildings and
structures (such as swimming pools) that may be affected by his work,
the CONTRACTOR shall establish a system of vertical and horizontal
control points on or about buildings, structures and swimming pools as
identified within the zone of influence in the CVMCP, prior to
excavation, pile driving, vibratory driving or driving sheeting. These
control points shall be tied to the City’s horizontal and vertical
controls and should not conflict or be moved with the proposed
construction activities. The CONTRACTOR shall submit a copy of
this Survey Plan to the OWNER for review. The CONTRACTOR shall
engage these services from a Land Surveyor licensed in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. Readings shall be taken of these points
and permanently recorded prior to the start of excavation, pile driving or
vibratory driving. CONTRACTOR shall coordinate and obtain approval
for access onto private property to establish control points.
2. Control points shall be checked weekly or more often if necessary, by
Land Surveyor. Three copies of the original horizontal and vertical
control points log and subsequent readings shall be submitted on an
approved form to the OWNER within 48 hours after observations have
been made. Any settlement and/or horizontal movement detected,
exceeding ¼ inch, shall be reported immediately to the OWNER, as
shall any cracks, sags, or damage of any nature to affected properties
not noted in the original pre-construction survey. In the event of such
movement or damage, the CONTRACTOR shall take immediate
remedial action to halt further movement and repair damaged structures
and shall keep the OWNER informed of the results.
E. Crack Monitoring during Construction:
If deemed necessary as determined by the pre-construction structural condition
assessment, the CONTRACTOR shall install crack monitors at specific
locations identified. During construction, the CONTRACTOR shall perform
periodic readings of the crack monitors that were installed during the pre-
construction structural condition assessment. The frequency of the readings
Last Revised July 18, 2018
5
shall be determined by the VCS and specified in the approved CVMCP. All
readings shall be provided to the OWNER within 48 hours of taking the
reading. Provided that the crack readings confirm that vibrations are not
contributing to increasing the crack width, the crack monitors may be read
once per week. More frequent readings may be necessary, as determined by
the VCS, during activities that are expected to have greater earthborn
vibrations or during periods where the groundwater is changing rapidly. If
the crack readings suggest that vibrations from the project site are
contributing to crack width, then the CONTRACTOR shall immediately
notify the OWNER and suspend those activities which are generating the
earthborn vibrations until the proper course of action has been determined by
the CONTRACTOR.
F. Vibration Monitoring during Construction:
1. Prior to construction, a plan of the vibration monitoring locations,
within the zone of influence, shall be submitted to the OWNER. The
locations of the vibration monitoring shall be selected by the
CONTRACTOR based on the properties surveyed in the pre-
construction structural condition assessment report and the
construction activities anticipated nearby. The CONTRACTOR shall
monitor vibrations at the locations selected, within the zone of
influence, during all construction activities. The locations of the
vibration monitors shall be adjusted during construction as necessary.
2. The vibration monitors shall be established at the site so that
background vibrations may be determined prior to beginning
construction. The sensitivity range of the seismograph shall be
selected so that the recording is initiated below the maximum
allowable particle velocity as specified by the ENGINEER and extends
above the highest expected intensity. Specific activities of the
vibration source shall be indexed in time to allow correlation with the
arrivals of the vibration.
3. The VCS shall be on the site during pile driving or vibratory driving
and at all other times that the specialist deems that significant or
damaging vibrations may result from the CONTRACTOR's
activities.
4. Project Vibration Criteria: The maximum allowable particle velocity
shall be identified in the approved CVMCP. If during construction, the
Last Revised July 18, 2018
6
data from the monitors indicate that vibrations are close to or
exceeding the established criteria, then the CONTRACTOR shall
immediately notify the OWNER and suspend those activities which
are generating the vibrations until the proper course of action has been
determined by the CONTRACTOR.
5. Instrumentation: The vibration monitors shall consist of digital
seismographs that display the particle velocities and associated
frequencies plotted against the criteria for this project. Each
seismograph shall contain geophones with response capability in
three mutually perpendicular axes or components: one vertical and
two horizontal (radial and transverse). The frequency response of
the geophones shall be linear from at least 4 Hz to more than 200
Hz. The sensitivity shall range from less than 0.02 in/sec to more
than 5.0 in/sec. The BlastMate III by Instantel is one type of
seismograph that is suitable for this project however an equal can
be used if approved by the OWNER.
6. Calibration and Instrument Use: The CONTRACTOR shall field
calibrate the vibration monitors before the start of each recording
period. The transducer shall be positioned with longitudinal axis
toward the vibration source. Transducer must be adequately coupled
with the ground. Operation of all vibration monitors shall be in
accordance with the instrument manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations. Vibration records shall be collected in waveform
plot or strip chart plot. The peak vector sum of the particle
velocity in longitudinal, transverse, and vertical planes shall be
shown along with the respective dominant or principle frequencies.
The highest recorded particle velocity (i.e., the vector sum of the
three orthogonal directions), when indexed to a particle vibration
event, shall be reported as the peak particle velocity. The recorded
peak particle velocity shall be compared to criteria appropriate for
the subject of concern.
7. Complaints: The CONTRACTOR is responsible for resolving all
vibration complaints. In the event of a complaint to the OWNER, the
OWNER shall contact the CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR
shall investigate the complaint and prepare a report documenting all
relevant data such as the time and date presented in the complaint, a
description of the construction activities during the subject time/date,
Last Revised July 18, 2018
7
data from the monitoring instruments for the subject time/date,
complaint information and a description (including photographs, if
possible) of the alleged damage. Provided the results of the complaint
report confirm that the vibrations induced by the CONTRACTOR are
not causing damage, the CONTRACTOR may continue all construction
operations. If the results of the complaint report show that readings
from the monitors indicate the vibrations are exceeding the established
criteria or are contributing to crack width, then the CONTRACTOR
shall take steps to modify the construction activity to achieve
acceptable readings. The OWNER will not extend the contract time or
reimburse the CONTRACTOR for delays resulting from resolution of
vibration complaints.
8. Notification of Exceeding Vibration Limits: The Contractor shall
employ a cellular phone notification method to notify the necessary
parties before the allowable vibration parameters are exceeded. Those
being notified shall be, but not limited to the OWNER’s inspectors,
CONTRACTOR's VCS, CONTRACTOR's Superintendent and
CONTRACTOR's representative authorized to make changes to
activity to remedy exceeding parameters.
G. Post-Construction Structural Condition Assessment:
1. Following completion of the work, the CONTRACTOR shall conduct
a post-construction inspection of all structures previously inspected
under the pre-construction structural condition assessment.
2. Documentation procedures shall be identical to those performed under
the pre-construction structural condition assessment. Changes or
deviations from the pre-construction structural condition assessment
in any structure shall be identified and described in the post-
construction structural condition assessment report.
3. Each property owner who allowed permission for the post-
construction structural condition assessment shall receive one copy
of the report. Three copies of the post-construction structural
condition assessment report shall be submitted to the OWNER for his
records.
4.0 Submittals:

in construction related activities shall follow to ensure that the P2 for this project is adhered to
in accordance with 9VAC25-870-56 of the Virginia Stormwater Management Program
Regulation and as specified in 40 CFR 450.21 (d) of the Federal Regulations.
This Pollution Prevention Specification is required for all projects that are exempt from
obtaining Construction General Permit or are not required to prepare a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan in accordance with 9VAC25-870-10 et seq.
2.0 P2 Compliance Procedures:
A. Contractor Review and Acknowledgment of P2:
The Contractor shall:
1. Ensure that all site personnel involved in construction related activities
understand and adhere to the requirements of the P2.
2. Maintain a copy of this P2 in a central location accessible by all personnel on
the site.
B. Pollution Prevention Specification Requirements:
1. Dust Control – Construction traffic shall enter and exit the site at the stabilized
construction entrance. The purpose is to trap dust and mud that would
otherwise be carried off-site by construction traffic.
Dust control shall be provided by the Contractor in compliance with applicable
local, state, and federal dust control regulations. Both during and at the
completion of construction activities the site shall be stabilized (per the E&S
plan) to reduce the potential for dust generation.
2. Effluent from de-watering activities shall be filtered or passed through an
approved sediment trapping device, or both, before being discharged from the
site. No contaminated effluent or groundwater may be discharged to state
waters or wetlands or the Owner’s storm drain system without a separate
VPDES discharge permit from the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality (VDEQ). Such permit shall be obtained by the Owner, or if directed by
the Owner shall be obtained by the Contractor prior to discharge.
3. Dewatering to Sanitary Sewer – No dewatering effluent may be discharged to
Last Revised January 28, 2019
2
the sanitary system by the Contractor without prior written authorization of
both the Owner and the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD). The
Owner will obtain required approvals from the HRSD, or if directed by the
Owner, the Contractor shall obtain required approvals from HRSD, prior to any
discharge to the sanitary sewer system. The Contractor is responsible for
complying with all effluent and/or flow limitations contained in any permits
secured relating to dewatering discharges.
4. Solid Waste Disposal – Solid materials, including building materials, shall not
be discharged from the site. All solid wastes, including disposable materials
incidental to the major construction activities, shall be collected, removed from
the site, and properly disposed of by the Contractor. Solid waste shall be
protected from coming into contact with stormwater by closing or covering
waste containers during precipitation events and at the end of the business day.
All stormwater runoff coming into contact with waste shall be properly
managed to ensure that pollutants do not leave the site with runoff.
5. Sanitary Facilities – All personnel involved with construction activities shall
comply with state and local sanitary and septic system regulations. Temporary
sanitary facilities, if provided, shall be utilized by all construction personnel
and shall be serviced by a commercial operator.
6. Water Source – Non stormwater components of site discharge shall be clean
water. Water used for construction which discharges from the site shall
originate from a public water supply or private well approved by the Virginia
Department of Health. Water used for construction that does not originate from
an approved public supply shall not discharge from the site. It shall be retained
in ponds until it infiltrates and/or evaporates.
7. Material resulting from clearing and grubbing shall be stockpiled up slope from
adequate sedimentation controls or hauled off-site.
8. All soil stockpile areas shall be maintained sufficiently far from water bodies,
wetlands, stormwater inlets, and stormwater conveyances to minimize sediment
release to these features and shall be protected from erosion in accordance with
Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Minimum Standard 2 to preclude
migration of sediments into these features.
9. The Contractor shall designate areas for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and
repair. These areas shall be protected by a temporary perimeter berm or filter
fabric.
10. Use of detergents for large scale washing is prohibited (e.g., vehicles,
buildings, pavement surfaces, etc.)
11. Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, and other toxic material shall be stored
in waterproof containers. Except during working hours, the contents shall be
kept locked in trucks or within locked storage facilities. Runoff containing
such material shall be collected, removed from the site, treated, and disposed at
an approved solid waste or chemical disposal facility. The Contractor shall
maintain a list of all of the chemicals on the Construction site and shall update
the list as additional chemicals are brought onto the site during the entire term
of site construction activities.
12. Fuel - At the end of each work day all on-site fuel tanks shall have fill ports and
hose nozzles secured by a lock. No key for this lock shall be left onsite except
when secured in another locked container or facility. Each fuel tank shall be of
Last Revised January 28, 2019
3
double walled construction or placed in a containment basin designed to hold
110% of the contents of the tank, or both, and shall have spill cleanup materials
accessible to personnel.
13. Water used to remove cementitious materials from surfaces (such as the
washout of concrete trucks, washing of concrete or masonry tools, mortar pans,
etc.) shall not discharge from the site. This water shall be collected in a leak
proof container(s) and either allowed to evaporate or be hauled off site and
disposed of properly by the Contractor. The Contractor shall take all steps
necessary to prevent these containers from overflowing from rainfall.
Hardened concrete or mortar residue shall be managed as a solid waste and
disposed of in accordance with local, State and Federal requirements.
14. Unused wet concrete shall not be dumped on bare ground to harden at
construction sites because this can contribute to ground water and surface water
contamination. Contractor shall either provide an excess concrete pit with leak-
proof bottom protection (separate from the concrete washout pit), or dump the
excess concrete on impervious surface and allow to harden so it can be crushed
and recycled as aggregate.
C. Spill Response Activities:
Discharge and/or spill of petroleum, oil, lubricants or other hazardous substances are
subject to reporting and cleanup requirements. In general, all petroleum, oil, lubricants
or other hazardous substances spilled on site shall be cleaned up and disposed of by the
Contractor in accordance with State and Federal regulations. Spills of solid materials
(powders, mixes, granules) shall be cleaned up, placed in a sealed container and
