Oil absorbent and spill containment materials shall be located on site when mechanical equipment is in operation within 100 feet of the proposed watercourse crossings. If a spill occurs, no additional work shall commence in-channel until (1) the mechanical equipment is inspected by the contractor, and the leak has been repaired, (2) the spill has been contained, and (3) NMFS and NOAA RC and/or the Corps are contacted and have evaluated the impacts of the spill. Absorbent and spill containment materials will otherwise be inspected regularly to ensure functionality.
