E. Stake: Metal stakes of 3/8 inch diameter rebar, not less than twelve (12) inches in length, will be required, one (1) per bait station, to aid in securing the bait blocks and containers. F. Tie -Wire: Sixteen and one-half (16.5) gauge or heavier black annealed tie -wire shall be used to secure all bait stations. G. Paint: Red, yellow, green and white enamel paint in aerosol containers will be required for marking bait locations. Blue enamel paint will be required if Contractor is informed his/her work is unsatisfactory and Contractor is required to redo his/her work. H. Method of Bait Installation: All protective bait stations shall be installed at approximately equally spaced intervals. The location for installation of the bait stations may be seen on a map available for inspection at the SMCMVCD office. The exact installation site shall be selected by the Contractor and shall be entirely dependent upon the Contractor's observation of the conditions existing at each site. All bait stations must be located a safe distance above the high water line and every effort must be made to take advantage of natural vegetation, etc., so as to provide the greatest possible concealment from children. Under no circumstances shall bait stations be installed or placed in areas where children are known to play. In areas where it is obvious that children do not play, the bait stations must still be adequately concealed so as not to be conspicuous to the ordinary child. Contractor will not deface private improvements and will be required to exercise his/her judgment in a prudent manner regarding the location of bait stations, etc. The bait block with the "Caution" tag must be secured to the stake through a hole made in the center of the end cap of the bait container and then placed into this excavation and secured into the ground by the stake at the rear of the excavation. The open end of the container should face out and slightly downward. The tie - wire should be drawn tight, bringing the station to rest against the stake. The installation shall be completed by covering and tightly packing the station with earth so that only about one (1) to three (3) inches of the reduced open end of the container remains exposed. The approximate location of each bait station shall be marked in the field by the contractor by painting a red colored dot approximately one (1) to two (2) inches in diameter on some plainly visible object such as a stone, boulder or tree. The painted dot shall be situated approximately ten (10) feet away from the bait station so as to designate its general but not specific location. One dot if the bait station is located on the same side or two dots if the bait station is located on the opposite creek bank.
