The tile shall be placed true and square to the curb edge in accordance with the Plans and Special Provisions. The cast-in-place tiles shall be tamped or vibrated into the fresh concrete to ensure that the field level of tile is flush to the adjacent concrete surface. The Plans indicate that the tile field level (base of truncated dome) is flush to adjacent surfa ces to permit proper water drainage and eliminate tripping hazards between adjacent finishes. The toler ance for elevation differences between tile and adjacent surface is 1/16”.

Immediately after tile placement, the tile elevation is to be checked to adjacent concrete. The tile elevation and slope should be set consistent with the Plans to permit water drainage to curb as the design dictates.

While concrete is workable a steel trowel shall be used to trow el the concrete around the tile perimeter to the field level of the tile.

During and after the tile installation and the concrete curing stage, it is imperative that there is no walking, leaning or external force placed on the tile to rock the tile, causing a void between the underside of the tile and concrete.

Following the curing of the concrete, the protective plastic wr ap shall be removed from the tile face by cutting the plastic with a sharp knife tight to the concrete/tile interface. If concrete bleeding occurs, a wire brush shall clean the residue without damage to the tile surface.

CLEANING AND PROTECTING – The Contractor shall protect the tile against damage during construction period to comply with tactile tile manufacturer’s specification.

The Contractor shall clean tactile tiles for the final time not more than 4 days prior to date scheduled for final inspection prior to the f inal acceptance for maintenance by the City of Salinas. Clean tactile tile by method specified by the manufacturer and/or the City Engineer.

As a Resident or Business Operator

• What we do on land affects the
quality of water we drink and use in
so many ways.

• Many small sources of pollution
add up to cause big water quality
problems.

• Pressure washing or hosing
down sidewalks or driveways
contribute to water pollution .

Mop, sweep or use other dry methods
to clean pavement or grounds around
your home or business.

• Excessive runoff from land-
scape irrigation can result in water
pollution by carrying fertilizers,
pesticides or silt offsite to local water
ways. Regularly inspect your irrigation
system to prevent excessive runoff.
• Trash and Debris dumped or left to
accumulate on residential or business
grounds can wind up local waterways.

Dispose of trash properly. Keep areas
clean and free of trash and debris.

• Natural things such as soil, leaves,
grass clippings, and pet waste ca n
cause water pollution.

• Waste dumped into storm
sewers goes into creeks and
waterways without treatment.

• Automobiles and other vehicles
cause water pollution as well as air
pollution

Everyone can make a difference!

What is an
Illicit Dischar g e?

An illicit discharge is defined as
“any discharge into a municipal storm
sewer system that is not composed en-
tirely of stormwater”. Some of the pollut-
ants that fall into this broad category are:

• Car wash wastewater

• Gas and motor oil

• Grass clippings

• Household cleansers

• Paints

• Pesticides

• Pet waste

• Solvents

• Weed killer

Sometimes these pollutants are
carried through the storm drainage system
by rain, wind, or improper disposal into
Salinas Waterways. This can result in
serious health and water quality problems.

In addition, wildlife and the overall
appearance of the creek or waterway is
adversely affected by illicit discharges.

Six Easy Ways That
You Can Keep Illicit
Discharges Out of Our
Local Creeks

There are simple steps that we can take
to solve the problems that our local waterways
face. It is up to YOU, the homeowner and busi-
ness owners who call Salinas home, to clean it up
and to help keep it clean!

1. Used oil, antifreeze, and batteries can
be recycled. Clean up any spills immedi-
ately—kitty litter or sawdust will absorb the
spill. Be sure to sweep these up as well.

2. Wash your car on the grass so that water,
detergent, and dirt will be filtered by the
soil. Better yet, take your car to a com-
mercial car wash, where the dirty water is
sent to the wastewater treatment plant.

3. Empty bottles of house-
hold cleansers, pesti-
cides, and weed killer
should be disposed of
according to label direc-
tions.

4. Grass clippings in the street should be
swept up aft er each mowing. Grass clip-
pings left in the street are
being washed down into the
storm sewers and end up in
the local waterways where
they have the potential to
cause algae blooms.

5. Many ho usehold products, including
paints, paint thinners, and solvents
can be taken free of charge to Salinas
Valley Solid Waste Authority, Household
Hazardous Waste drop-off site at 128
Sun St. Salinas, CA 93901, (831) 775-
3000. Paint brushes used with water
based paint can
be rinsed in the sink.

If you have a small
amount of left-over
paint in a can, stuff it
loosely with newspaper, let the paint
dry out completely and put it in the
trash.

6. When walking your pet use a bag or use
a scooper to clean up your pet’s
waste. In order to keep animal waste
from contaminating our community,
anyone who walks a pet should properly
dispose of waste by picking it up, wrap-
ping it, and either placing it into the
trash or flushing it UNWRAPPED!

Construction
Sediment from excavation and other
construction projects is the most common
pollutant washed from work sites.

Sediment entering the waterways through
storm drains harms aquatic life and
disrupts the food chain upon which both
fish and people depend.

Erosion Control General Practices
• Keep all construction debris away
from the street, gutter and storm
drain. Look for and clean up material
that may have traveled away from
your property.
• Keep materials out of the rain by
storing them indoors or outdoors with
a secure roof or plastic sheeting.
• Schedule grading and excavation
projects for dry weather.
• Cover excavated material and
stockpiles of asphalt and sand with
plastic tarps.
• Prevent erosion by planting fast -
growing annual and perennial grasses.

These will shield and bind soil.

Water Pollution Prevention
It’s Up to Us

Only “rain” is allo wed in our storm drain
system. Rain, industrial and household
water mixed with urban pollutants creates
stormwater pollution. The pollutants
include:

Urban runoff pollution (oil and other
automotive fluids, paint and construction
debris, yard and pet wastes, pesticides
and litter).
• Flows through the storm drain to the
Salinas River and the Reclamation
Ditch that takes water and debris
straight from Salinas streets to the
Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary.
• Contaminates our rivers and ditches,
harms aquatic life and increases the
risk of flooding by clogging gutters
and catch basins.
• Oil and grease, for example, clog fish
gills and block oxygen from entering
the water. If oxygen levels in the
water become too low, aquatic
animals may be harmed and/or die.

Household Hazardous Waste Disposal
• Household toxics —such as common
household cleaners, paint products
and motor oil —can pollute our rivers
and poison the groundwater if not
disposed of as hazardous waste.
• Take your household chemicals and
toxics to the local Household
Hazardous Waste Facility.

Concrete & Masonry
Fresh co ncrete and mortar application
materials can wash down or blow into the
street, gutter or storm drain.
• Do not mix up more fresh concrete or
cement than you will use.
• Store bags of cement and plaster
under cover. Protect these materials
from rainfall, runoff and wind, away
from gutters and storm drains.
• Never dispose of cement washout or
concrete dust onto driveways, streets,
gutters or storm drains.

Painting
Paints and solvents contain chemicals that
are harmful to aquatic life. Toxic
chemicals can come fro m liquid or solid
products or from cleaning residues on
rags. It is especially important to prevent
these chemicals from entering storm
drains.

Paint Cleanup
• Never clean brushes or rinse paint
containers into a street, gutter or
storm drain.
• For oil-based paints, paint out brushes
to the extent possible. Clean with
thinner and then filter and reuse
thinner.
• For water -based paints, paint out
brushes to the extent possible, then
rinse in the sink.
• When thoroughly dry, used brushes,
empty paint cans (lids off ), rags and
drop cloths may be disposed of as
trash.

Paint Removal
• Chemical paint stripping residue,
including saturated rags, is a
hazardous waste and should be taken
to a household hazardous waste
collection event.
• Chips and dust from marine paints or
paints containing lead or tributyl tin
are also hazardous wastes. Sweep
them up and save them for a
hazardous waste collection event.

Paint Recycling
• Reuse leftover paint for touch -ups or
recycle it at a local household
hazardous waste collection event.

Landscaping & Gardening
• Intensive gardening and landscaping
increase the likelihood that garden
chemicals and soil will wash into
storm drains. Pesticides and
herbicides not only kill garden
invaders, they also harm insects,
poison fish and contaminate grou nd
and river water.
• Use organic or non -toxic fertilizers
and pesticides. Do not fertilize or use
gutters or storm drains.
• Store pesticides, fertilizers and
chemicals in a covered area to
prevent runoff.
• Do not blow, sweep, hose or rake
leaves into the stre et, gutter or storm
drain.
• Place clippings and pruning waste in
approved containers for pick up.
• Conserve water by using drip
irrigation, soaker hoses or micro-spray
systems.
