Prior to placement of the hardened structures, the channel will be excavated to remove sediment and debris. This work also includes, but is not limited to, clearing and grubbing, temporary construction crossings, material disposal areas, temporary traffic controls, demolition of abandoned structures, surface and ground water control, and all incidental related work.
