Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> 3.0 Construction Stormwater BMPs <br /> 3.1 The 14 BMP Elements <br /> 3.1.1 Element #1 — Mark Clearing Limits <br /> To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits <br /> of construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Areas that are to <br /> be preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated, both in <br /> the field and on the plans. The BMPs relevant to marking the clearing limits that will be applied <br /> for this project include: <br /> ■ High Visibility Plastic or Metal Fence (BMP C103) <br /> The clearing limits shall be as shown on the plans and all vegetation outside of the clearing <br /> limits preserved. <br /> Alternate BMPs for marking clearing limits are included in Appendix C as a quick reference tool <br /> for the onsite inspector in the event the BMP(s) listed above are deemed ineffective or <br /> inappropriate during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES <br /> Permit (Appendix D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a <br /> violation(s) of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit (as provided in Appendix D), the <br /> Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or <br /> more of the alternative BMPs listed in Appendix C after the first sign that existing BMPs are <br /> ineffective or failing. <br /> 3.1.2 Element #2 — Establish Construction Access <br /> Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where <br /> necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public <br /> roads. Street sweeping and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent sediment from <br /> entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site. The specific BMPs <br /> related to establishing construction access that will be used on this project include: <br /> • Construction Access (BMP C105) <br /> • The roads shall be swept daily should sediment collect on them. <br /> Alternate construction access BMPs are included in Appendix C as a quick reference tool for the <br /> onsite inspector in the event the BMP(s) listed above are deemed ineffective or inappropriate <br /> during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit <br /> (Appendix D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a <br /> violation(s) of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit (as provided in Appendix D), the <br /> Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or <br /> more of the alternative BMPs listed in Appendix C after the first sign that existing BMPs are <br /> ineffective or failing. <br /> 5 17576.003.doc <br />
