Night work may be required for lane closures on major arterials. The temporary traffic control plan shall specify hours of operation. No work activities shall be performed on an arterial street without an approved Temporary traffic control (TCP) permit. Whenever approved lane closures on arterial or collector streets or within the downtown core area are performed, the permittee shall be responsible for informing the local media (i.e. major local newspapers, radio stations, and television stations), law enforcement, fire protection, ambulance, transit agencies, and school districts of the approved closure. Reviewing applications and issuing authorizations for lane closures and parking restrictions outside the above-described limits shall be the responsibility of the Utility Inspector. However, when the Utility Inspector has concerns about unusual traffic control issues, the Utility Coordinator may refer the particular request to Traffic Operations personnel for authorization. To avoid noise disturbances, normal working times for work performed under a permit shall be restricted to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., unless specifically authorized by permit, license, or variance or as directed on the permit.

No person shall engage in any construction-related activity in a manner that can potentially impact water quality. All persons shall prevent and/or control erosion, sedimentation, and other construction-related impacts to stormwater quality in a manner designed to meet the outcomes specified in R-6.645 (D) Eugene City Code. Failure to implement measures that meet those outcomes shall subject the person to any or all of the following: stop-work order; citation for violation; administrative compliance order; and civil penalties. The permittee must promptly remove and clean all excess earth, stone, crushed rock, rubbish, debris, and any unused material that results from work performed. As work progresses, all public ways shall be thoroughly cleaned of all rubbish, excess earth, rock, and other debris resulting from such work. All cleanup shall be at the expense of the permittee. Upon failure to do so, within 24 hours of notification, the City may perform the work and charge the cost thereof to the permittee. If in the judgment of the Surface Technical Supervisor, a hazardous condition exists that affects the public health, safety, and welfare, the notification requirement may be waived and the City may take immediate necessary corrective action to remove the hazardous conditions and charge the costs thereof to the responsible party. Upon completion of the proposed work, the worksite and all disturbed landscaping shall be restored to a condition as near as possible to that which existed immediately prior to the work. Restoration may include but is not limited to, regrading, seeding, and mulching. Pursuant to R-6.645-F, no person shall commence
