Planning/Design/Environmental Clause Samples
The Planning/Design/Environmental clause outlines the responsibilities and requirements related to project planning, design development, and compliance with environmental regulations. It typically specifies which party is responsible for obtaining necessary permits, conducting environmental assessments, and ensuring that the design meets all applicable legal and regulatory standards. For example, the clause may require the contractor to submit design documents for approval or to implement measures that minimize environmental impact. Its core function is to allocate responsibility for these critical pre-construction activities, ensuring that the project proceeds in accordance with legal, technical, and environmental requirements, thereby reducing the risk of delays or non-compliance.
Planning/Design/Environmental. Perform site visits for proposed new meter installations and existing meter installations. Evaluate current installations and meters for compliance with SOPs. Determine if meter requires calibration or repair. Develop site-specific plans to make each meter consistent with developed SOPs. • Site Visit Summary Documentation Install flow meters as described in the Engineering Packet and SOPs. Upgrade existing meter installations that are not compliant with developed SOPs. Have all meters repaired that are identified as needing repair. Have all meters identified requiring calibration properly calibrated. • Site Visit Summary Documentation Based on the data gap analysis, identify and select additional GSP-related monitoring points and bring all monitoring network points (new and existing) up to monitoring program standards. Anticipated activties include establishing appropriate location data and descriptions for points, mapping monitoring networks, surveying monitoring point elevations, and developing network instructions. • Monitoring Networks Technical Memorandum Investigate opportunities or methods to reduce and optimize groundwater pumping practices. Engage agricultural groundwater users to identify opportunities/methods to reduce and/or optimize groundwater pumping practices. Prioritize and investigate opportunities and methods identifies including working with surface water delivery agencies to determine extent of surface water delivery flexibility and determine optimized delivery schedule. Develop a groundwater pumping optimization work plan. Obtain landowner access agreements where necessary. Under take work identified in the work plan including the purchase and installation of irrigation efficiency measures, evaluation of recording metered pumping, and calculating reduction in groundwater extraction from measures undertaken. Develop technical results and recommendations document(s) that describe the results of the various evaluations and investigations and provides recommendations for optimizing groundwater and surface water use in the basin. This document will be used to inform planning efforts and future project evaluations. • Technical results and recommendations document(s) Project Title: Sierra Valley Subbasin GSP Development Grantee: Sierra Valley Groundwater Management District Project serves a need of a Disadvantaged Area?: Yes Local Cost Share Required: 0% Amendment #2 Budget Categories Grant Amount Local Cost Share (Non-State Fund Source)1 To...
