Equipment Cleaning. (All days)
Equipment Cleaning. District may require mechanized equipment to be cleaned (pressure washed or blown with pressurized air) and inspected before moving into the natural area to reduce the risk of spreading noxious weed seeds. Equipment inspection will be arranged with District’s project manager and conducted at a location not on the project area that is mutually agreed to by District Point of contact and Contractor.
Equipment Cleaning. (a) Areas, known
Equipment Cleaning. All machinery or heavy equipment that will be entering the stream bed, channel, and bank shall be cleaned of materials deleterious to aquatic life including oil, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluid, soil, and other debris. Cleaning of equipment shall take place outside of the stream bed, channel, and bank.
Equipment Cleaning. All snow tractors shall be washed before moving into the project area so that the equipment is free of soil, seeds, vegetative material, or other debris that could contain or hold seeds of noxious weeds. Equipment will be considered clean when visual inspection does not reveal soil, seeds, plant material, or other such debris. Disassembly of equipment components or specialized inspection equipment is not required. CONTRACTOR shall notify the COUNTY at least five days in advance of moving equipment in so that arrangements can be made for inspection.
Equipment Cleaning. Contractor shall:
A. Clean equipment at regular monthly intervals to maintain a professional appearance, preserve the life of the equipment, and to meet all code requirements.
Equipment Cleaning. Equipment cleaning is a critical component to the agricultural protection as it reduces the likelihood of soil and manure transport which contain organisms of concern from one field to the next. Vehicles and Equipment that will be used on the Project will be thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to arriving to ensure they are free of soil/ seeds/ debris. Manitoba Hydro Equipment Cleaning Record Form (Appendix A) will be completed for each vehicle/equipment and submitted to Manitoba Hydro prior to being mobilized onto the Project ROW. Vehicles/Equipment will also require inspections and possibly either rough or fine cleaning depending on the shape of equipment, time of year and biosecurity risk when moving from one parcel of land to another within the Project. The application of disinfectant may also be required after the initial cleaning occurs. These steps will provide the required protection of crops and farmlands for the duration of the Project. Rough Cleaning Rough cleaning is the removal of soil, plant material or crop debris using hand tools such as brooms, brushes, scrapers and shovels. Rough cleaning will occur on-site before leaving the cleaning area. This step in the cleaning of mats, vehicles and equipment must occur on-site before leaving the controlled access zone to a off-project washing facility. Fine Cleaning Fine cleaning involves the use of high-pressure air, hot water or steam to remove accumulated soil, plant material or crop debris. The emphasis will be on High Risk areas of vehicles/equipment where heavy concentrations of soil or crop debris has accumulated (tires, tracks, wheel xxxxx, etc.).
