Sources of Supply and Quality Requirement: The contractor must provide weed-free certification for all imported rock, topsoil and erosion control materials. Weed-free certification must meet or exceed the North American Weed Management Association (NAWMA) standards. These standards include that all imported components be inspected in the State/Province of origin by proper officials or authority (described below). For a material source provider to be considered certified weed-free, all staging areas, work areas, vehicles and facilities associated with producing the material must be inspected by a qualified government inspector, or other proper officials or authority (described below), and determined to be free of all noxious weed and invasive plant species. Proper official or authority: A. Designated Park inspector B. Representative of that State's Dept. of Agriculture C. Representative of Shasta County Weed Management Area D. University Extension Agent E. An individual designated by that State's law or regulations. This individual will be trained and certified in accordance with the state's/province's standard operating procedures. In an effort to avoid introduction of non-native/noxious plant species, no hay or straw bales or any sort of material will be used for temporary erosion control. Before dump trucks, haul trucks, machinery and/or equipment are brought into the park, they will be pressure or steam washed in order to remove non-native seeds. Cleaning will consist of the removal of dirt, grease, debris and materials that may harbor weeds and their seeds. Cleaning must occur away from the project site. Construction equipment will be inspected by NPS staff prior to entering the park to ensure compliance with cleanliness requirements. Inadequately cleaned equipment will be rejected. All haul trucks bringing fill material from outside the park will be covered to prevent seed transport and dust deposition along the road corridor. Equipment and disturbance will be limited to within the construction limits, and to roadsides, bridge areas, and staging areas. Sources of rock, sand, gravel, earth, soil, or other imported natural material must be inspected for noxious weeds prior to acceptance. The contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer (CO) a list of proposed sources for import materials 30 calendar days in advance of importing material. The list shall also include the end use and any temporary storage requirements of those materials. Natural Resources staff will inspect sources of materials that pose a risk, either by their end use or storage requirements, of allowing invasive, non-native plants (also known as noxious weeds) to establish in the park. Materials may be rejected if non-native invasive plants are present at the source and seeds could be present in the material. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer (CO), potentially contaminated material may be accepted if mitigating measures are implemented. Measures might include: Stripping the top 12 inches of source material, requiring fresh material stored less than 1 month, or sterilizing the material. Contaminated materials that contain fines and have an end use on the surface will require sterilization before importing to the park. Another mitigation measure would be to utilize materials immediately after it has been mined and processed. Contractor shall deliver material directly from the source to the NRA Area without intermediary storage or staging. Shipping vessels shall be covered to prevent spillage or windblown contents during transit. Material must be transported and stored such they will not acquire invasive non-native plants from adjacent vegetation. Material can not be staged on site at the quarry for any length of time. Once the material is mined, it is immediately shipped to the park in haul trucks that have been pressure washed (see above). The reason for this is to ensure that the material does not acquire invasive non-native seeds from adjacent vegetation. Shipping vessels shall be covered to prevent spillage or blowing of their contents while in transit. Disturbed areas will be monitored for up to three years following construction to identify growth of noxious weeds or non-native vegetation. Treatment of non-native vegetation will be completed in accordance with NPS 77-7, Integrated Pest Management Manual. All imported rock and/or topsoil material for the project must be inspected and accepted by the park. Subsurface rock material or recently exposed material (within 1-month of hauling to project site) that has not been exposed to weed sources may be acceptable upon inspection by the park. Park will inspect all proposed material sources prior to use or transport of materials into the park. Notify the CO two weeks in advance, to allow for Park inspection of proposed source. A copy of certified weight tickets shall accompany each load as well as delivery location clearly marked on every weight ticket. All invoices submitted for payment shall include location of delivery, date, tonnage, and copy of certified weight ticket. 1-gallon samples of the stockpiled material will be submitted to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) prior to delivery and shall include the source location where the COR has the option to perform an onsite inspection of the supply source (quarry).
