08/13/2003 | LOREN MAKUS | NPDES | REVIEW | Denied | Revise the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan consistent with the following comments: Operators 1. Identify all operators for the project site, and the areas over which each operator has control. (Part IV.C.1) 2. Indicate in the SWPPP the name(s) of the party(ies) with operational control over project specifications (including the ability to make modifications in specifications). (Part IV.B.2.c) 3. Indicate in the SWPPP the areas of the project where the operator has operational control over project specifications, including the ability to make modifications in specifications. (Part IV.B.1.b) 4. Indicate in the SWPPP the name(s) of the party(ies) with day-to-day operational control of those activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWPPP or other permit conditions. Provide a table for recording the names and responsibilities for each party responsible for activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWPPP or other permit conditions. (Part IV.B.1.d) 5. Indicate in the SWPPP the areas of the project where each operator has operational control over day-to-day activities. (Part IV.B.2.c) Project/Site Description 6. Describe the intended sequence of activities that disturb soils at the site (e.g., grubbing, excavation, grading, utilities, and infrastructure installation). (Part IV.C.2.b) 7. Revise the listed sequence of soil disturbing activities so that it is applicable to this project. The project does not seem to include clearing and grubbing and culvert construction which are listed in the sequence. The project also appears to include asphalt removal and building construction. Revise the list accordingly. (Part IV.C.2.c) 8. The Sequence of Major Activities also includes clearing and grubbing of the site and omits asphalt removal and building construction. Revise this section to be consistent with the project as described in other submitted documents. (Note that this section can be combined with the list of soil disturbing activities.) (Part IV.C.2.c) 9. If the "sediment trap" and "sediment basin" called out in several places in the SWPPP is the silt fence that is indicated on the site map, revise the descriptions to call it "silt fence. Clarify that the silt fence will be installed before any grading or asphalt removal occurs." 10. Provide an estimate of the runoff coefficient of the site for pre-construction conditions. (Part IV.C.2.d) 11. Provide a general location map (e.g., U.S.G.S. quadrangle map, a portion of a city or county map, or other map) with enough detail to identify the location of the construction site and the receiving waters within one mile of the site. (Part IV.C.2.e) 12. Identify the nearest receiving water(s), including ephemeral and intermittent streams, dry sloughs, arroyos. (Part IV.C.4) Site Map. 13. Show, on the site map, directions of stormwater flow (e.g., use arrows to show which ways stormwater will flow) and approximate slopes anticipated after major grading activities. (Part IV.C.3.a) 14. Show, on the site map, areas of soil disturbance and areas that will not be disturbed. (Part IV.C.3.b) 15. Show, on the site map, locations of structural and nonstructural controls identified in the SWPPP. (Part IV.C.3.c) 16. Show, on the site map, locations where stabilization practices are expected to occur. (Part IV.C.3.d) 17. Show, on the site map, locations where stormwater discharges to a surface water (including ephemeral waters or dry washes) and to MS4s. (Part IV.C.3.g) Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources. 18. Identify the location and describe any stormwater or non-stormwater discharges at the site associated with activity other than construction. (Part IV.C.5) 19. Identify the location and describe any stormwater or non-stormwater discharges at the site associated other pollutant sources such as fueling operations, materials stored on-site, waste piles, etc. (Part IV.C.5) 20. Identify and address offsite material storage areas or borrow areas used solely by the operator's project. (Part IV.C.6) Stormwater Controls. 21. Describe all pollution control measures (i.e., BMPs) that will be implemented as part of the construction project to control pollutants in stormwater discharges. (Part IV.D.1) 22. The Spill Prevention Material Management Practices section indicates "concrete trucks will not be allowed to wash out or discharge surplus concrete or drum washout on-site unless used for or incorporated into a structure. Designating a washout location that prevents drum washout from entering a drainageway is preferable. 23. For each major activity identified in the project description, the SWPPP must clearly describe appropriate control measures; the general sequence during the construction process that the measures will be implemented; and which operator is responsible for the control measure's implementation. (Part IV.D.1) Erosion and Sediment Controls. 24. Specify that erosion and sediment controls shall be designed to retain sediment on site to the extent practicable. (Part IV.D.2.a) 25. Specify that all control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained per the manufacturers' specifications and good engineering practices. If periodic inspections or other information is discovered that indicates a control has been used inappropriately, or installed incorrectly, the operator must replace or modify the control for site situations as soon as practicable and before the next anticipated storm event. (Part IV.D.2.b) 26. Specify that when sediment escapes the construction site, offsite accumulations of sediment must be routinely removed and at a frequency sufficient to ensure no adverse effects on water quality. (Part IV.D.2.a) (Part IV.D.2.c) 27. Describe good housekeeping procedures to prevent litter, construction debris, and construction chemicals exposed to stormwater from becoming a pollutant source for stormwater discharges. (Part IV.D.3) Stabilization Practices. 28. Describe and identify interim and permanent stabilization practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be implemented. Clarify the timing for the installation of the ABC relative to the construction schedule. The ABC should be installed as soon as possible to provide maximum stabilization. (Part IV.D.4.a) 29. Specify that the operator must initiate stabilization measures within 14 days in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased. (Part IV.D.4.b) 30. The operator must maintain the following records as part of the SWPPP. Provide pages to record the required information. (Part IV.D.4.c) a. Dates when major grading activities occur. (Part IV.D.4.c.i) b. Dates when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a portion of the site. (Part IV.D.4.c.ii) c. Dates when stabilization measures are initiated and completed and reasons for delay, if applicable, under IV.D.4.b. (Part IV.D.4.c.iii) Structural Practices 31. Describe post-construction stormwater management measures that will be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in stormwater discharges after construction operations have been completed. Such measures must be designed and installed consistent with applicable local drainage requirements. (Part IV.D.6) Non-Stormwater Discharges 32. Describe measures to minimize the generation of dust. (Part IV.D.8.b) 33. Describe construction and waste materials expected to be stored on-site. Provide a page or pages to record updates as appropriate. Describe controls to reduce pollutants from these materials including storage practices to minimize exposure of the materials to stormwater, and spill prevention and response practices. (Part IV.D.8.c) Permit Related Records 34. Include a copy of the general permit and the NOI that was or will be submitted to ADEQ. If other agreements with any state, local, or federal agencies exist that would affect the provisions or implementation of the SWPPP, include copies of those agreements. (Part IV.F) 35. The grading plan and landscape plan may be incorporated into the SWPPP by reference. The requirements of the plans must be treated by the operator as part of the SWPPP. (Part IV.G) Inspections 36. Provide example forms for Compliance Evaluation Reports (Inspection Reports). At a minimum the forms must include: a. The inspection date. (Part IV.H.5.a) b. Name(s) and title(s) and qualifications of person(s) making the inspection. Qualifications must either be on/attached to the report or alternatively, if the SWPPP documents the qualifications of the inspectors by name, that portion of the SWPPP may be referenced. (Part IV.H.5.b) c. Weather information for the period since the last inspection (or since commencement of construction activity if the first inspection), including best estimate of the beginning of each storm event, duration of each event, time elapsed since last storm event, and approximate amount of rainfall for each event (in inches) . (Part IV.H.5.c) d. Location(s) of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site. (Part IV.H.5.d) e. Location(s) and identification of BMPs that need to be maintained; failed to operate as designed or prove inadequate. (Part IV.H.5.e) f. Location(s) where additional BMPs that do not exist at the time of inspection are needed. ((Part IV.H.5.f) g. Corrective actions required, including any changes to SWPPP necessary and implementation dates. (Part IV.H.5.g) h. Identification of all sources of non-storm water and the associated pollution prevention control measures. (Part IV.H.5.h) i. Identification of material storage areas and, evidence of or potential for, pollutant discharge from such areas. (Part IV.H.5.i) j. Compliance certification statement. (Part IV.H.6) k. Signature line with certification statement. (Part IV.H.6) Signature Requirements 37. Include a certification and signature for each operator in accordance with Part VII.K. (Part IV.J.1) 38. All NOIs must be signed and certified as follows: a) For a corporation: By a responsible corporate officer.
