Diving must be performed in accordance with the latest edition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1; the Portland District Diving Regulation, NWPR 385-1-93; the U.S. Navy Diving Manuals, NAVSEA 0994-LP001-0910 and NAVSEA 0994-LP001-0920; 29 CFR 1910, Subpart T; and ADCI Consensus Standards inclusive of all other references listed therein. All diving operations must be considered incidental to the work specified elsewhere herein. No separate payment for diving work will be made. 1.2 REFERENCES The latest editions of the publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to in the text by basic designation only.

The Page 1 following must be submitted in accordance with Sections 01 33 00, SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES, and 01 35 26.00 25, GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. SD-01 Prefabrication Submittals Dive Team Personnel; G Dive Plan and General Schedule; G Equipment Certification; G Emergency Management Plan; G Activity Hazard Analysis; G Company Safe Practice Manual For Diving; G 1.4 PRE-QUALIFIED DIVE COMPANIES AND DIVE TEAM PERSONNEL a. Effective 1 May 2008, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District will no longer utilize its Dive Pre-Qualification Program. b. As a result, any domestic commercial dive Contractor meeting the minimum standards set forth in the most recent edition of the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, and in the Portland District's Dive Safety Regulation, NWPR 385-1-93 (see Appendix A of this Section), will be eligible to compete for routine diving work. The Dive Contractor must have no State or Federal OSHA safety violations within the 12 months preceding the due date of the bid or proposal. c. Once awarded, Contract performance is contingent upon the Contractor's submission of an acceptable Dive Plan, Activity Hazard Analysis, and Emergency Management Plan for the specific diving operation to be conducted. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all diver credentials and equipment certifications meet the standards outlined in the most recent edition of EM 385-1-1 and NWPR 385-1-93. 1.5 DIVING ENVIRONMENT a. The estimated maximum working depth is approximately 130-135 feet below water surface. b. The estimated maximum depth (distance from water surface to bottom) the diver(s) will be exposed to is approximately 140-145 feet below water surface. c. Turbidity may limit visibility to 10 feet or less. d. The current water velocity through the work area is estimated to be approximately less than 1 knot. e. Water temperature(s) are estimated to vary between 45 and 55 degrees F. f. Underwater operations will not require diver(s) to perform work Page 2 within confined spaces and/or enclosed areas or areas with an overhead. g. The overall work site is a restricted access area and is not open to commercial and private vessels. 1.6 DIVE PLAN AND GENERAL SCHEDULE a. No later than 60 working days prior to the first planned diving operation, the Dive Plan and General Schedule must be submitted to coordinate unit outages at the Project and other concurrent work. The Dive Plan and General Schedule must detail dive locations and must be flexible enough to accommodate conflicts with allowable unit outages. Personnel and equipment certification must be included in the plan. A site specific Emergency Management Plan must be included in the Dive Plan in accordance with NWPR 385-1-93. A job specific Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) must be prepared in accordance with NWPR 385-1-93 and EM 385-1-1, paragraph 01.A.09, and must be included in the Dive Plan. Adjustments must be coordinated with the Contracting Officer (CO). Dive locations and schedules must be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00, SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES, for approval. b. Scheduling Individual Dives. The Contractor must notify the CO in writing a minimum of seven calendar days in advance of each scheduled dive. Failure to give the full seven days notice may result in delays to the work if a DSI is not available. The Government is not liable for delays if the Contractor fails to give the required seven days written notice. c. In the event it becomes necessary to cancel or reschedule a dive, the Contractor is required to notify the Government at least two work days prior to the first day of the scheduled dive during normal business hours (Monday through Friday excluding holidays). Failure to provide such notification will make the Contractor liable for the daily rate for the DSI from the date of the cancellation until the dive commences; the Contactor will not be charged for more than seven days delay for each dive cancellation. However, each time a dive is cancelled or rescheduled, it is treated as a new dive for purposes of scheduling DSI's and determining delay costs. When computing delay costs, a partial day is considered a full day; DSI delay costs will be permanently deducted from the Contractor's pay at the rate of $1,000.00 per day.

  • Surface-Supplied Diver Training Manual
    Surface-supplied Diver Training Manual Tennessee Aquarium Chattanooga, TN Published by the Diving Control Board Tennessee Aquarium Chattanooga, TN 1st Edition 2007 Purpose Surface-supplied diving is defined in the Tennessee Aquarium Diving Safety Manual (TADSM) as a diving mode in which the diver in the water is supplied from the dive location with compressed gas for breathing and is in voice communication with the tender on the surface. This definition is based upon the requirements outlined in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Code of Federal Regulations. (29 CFR 1910 Subpart T) This federal law outlines the criteria for all commercial diving. The surface-supplied diving mode requires gear and techniques that are not introduced in recreational diver training. This text was designed by the Tennessee Aquarium Diving Control Board to introduce Aquarium divers to the fundamental principles associated with surface-supplied diving. This text should be accompanied by proper practical training, as outlined in Appendix A, to promote safe surface-supplied diving under the auspice of the Tennessee Aquarium. Figure 1 – Secret Reef Dive Show- A primary use of surface-supplied diving at the Tennessee Aquarium. i Introduction There are numerous advantages to surface-supplied diving that make it an excellent choice for many diving operations. First, the diver has the benefit of an unlimited air supply. With a surface-supplied diving system, a diver can theoretically stay underwater forever. Of course, in reality, there are comfort, thermal, and decompression limits. For deep technical diving, a surface-supplied rig relieves the diver of the need to carry numerous stage bottles.

  • Seasonal Life History of Oncorhynchus Mykiss in the South Fork John Day River Basin, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ian A. Tattam for the degree of Master of Science in Fisheries Science presented on December 22, 2006. Title: Seasonal Life History of Oncorhynchus mykiss in the South Fork John Day River Basin, Oregon Abstract approved: ______________________________________________ Hiram W. Li Understanding seasonal changes in growth, survival, and movement rates is crucial to salmonid management. These life history characteristics provide a context for evaluation of management actions. We evaluated the life history of individually marked Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri in the South Fork John Day River basin in Northeastern Oregon. This thesis focuses on Murderers and Black Canyon creeks, two tributaries to the South Fork John Day. These are semi-arid, mid elevation basins with naturally reproducing populations of summer steelhead and redband trout (both O. mykiss). Summer steelhead populations in this basin have declined from historic abundances, and are protected under the Endangered Species Act. In Chapter 2, we evaluate life history variation in Murderers Creek during four consecutive seasons. Growth rate varied significantly with season (F3,88 = 62.56, P < 0.0001), with most growth occurring during spring. Location and season interacted (F6,88 = 4.45, P < 0.001) to influence individual growth rates. As a result, regions of high growth potential shifted up and down-stream seasonally. However, we found low rates of O. mykiss movement (< 3 %) in Murderers Creek during summer, suggesting that individuals did not track resource availability at a large scale. Apparent survival rate varied among reaches, but was consistently higher in the upstream most reach compared to the two lowermost reaches.
