Trans 401.08Trans 401.08 Erosion control implementation plan. Trans 401.08(1)(a)(a) The prime contractor shall prepare an ECIP for a project, shall provide the ECIP to the appropriate region office of the department of transportation, and shall either deliver personally or send the ECIP by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the appropriate regional liaison of the department of natural resources and to the department of transportation, at least 14 days before the pre–construction conference, or at a time and manner agreed upon by the department of transportation, department of natural resources and prime contractor. Trans 401.08(1)(am)(am) The prime contractor shall select best management practices from the matrix published under s. Trans 401.07 (1m) (a) when preparing an ECIP. The prime contractor may not employ best management practices that are not specified in the matrix unless the department of transportation has specifically approved that use in writing. Trans 401.08(1)(ar)1.1. The department of transportation may not hold a pre-construction conference until at least 14 days after the prime contractor delivered or mailed the ECIP to the department of natural resources, unless either of the following occurs before the pre-construction conference is held: Trans 401.08(1)(ar)1.a.a. The region director of the department of transportation has notified the regional director of the department of natural resources in writing that the department of transportation intends to hold the pre-construction conference. Trans 401.08(1)(ar)2.2. If the department of transportation holds a pre-construction conference within 14 days after the prime contractor delivered or mailed the ECIP to the department of natural resources, the department of natural resources shall have 14 days after the prime contractor delivered or mailed the ECIP to the department of natural resources to review the ECIP and deliver written comments to the department of transportation and to the prime contractor.

A description of appropriate best management practices that will be employed at the selected site to prevent sediments and pollutants from reaching waters of the state. The plan shall clearly describe the appropriate best management practices for each major activity identified and the timing during the construction process that the measures will be implemented. The description of best management practices shall include, when appropriate, the following minimum requirements: Trans 401.08(2)(b)12.a.a. Description of permanent or temporary best management practices, including a schedule for implementing them.
