- All activities, including maintenance procedures, will be controlled to prevent the entry of petroleum products, debris, rubble, concrete, and other harmful substances into the water
- All disturbed vegetated areas will be stabilized and restored with native/non-invasive species upon the completion of work in that area
- Water discharge from dewatering activities associated with the construction of culverts or the installation of storm sewers will be directed to a filter bag (e.g. Terrafix envirobag) for treatment
- Construction equipment will not work or travel in any watercourse except as specified in the permits/approvals
