Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> 6.2.2 pH Sampling <br /> Stormwater runoff will be monitored for pH starting on the first day of any activity that includes <br /> more than 40 yards of poured or recycled concrete, or after the application of"Engineered Soils" <br /> such as Portland cement treated base, cement kiln dust, or fly ash. This does not include <br /> fertilizers. For concrete work, pH monitoring will start the first day concrete is poured and <br /> continue until 3 weeks after the last pour. For engineered soils, the pH monitoring period begins <br /> when engineered soils are first exposed to precipitation and continue until the area is fully <br /> stabilized. <br /> Stormwater samples will be collected daily from all points of discharge from the site and <br /> measured for pH using a calibrated pH meter, pH test kit, or wide range pH indicator paper. If <br /> the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following steps will be conducted: <br /> 1. Prevent the high pH water from entering storm drains or surface water. <br /> 2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water if necessary using appropriate <br /> technology such as CO2 sparging (liquid or dry ice). <br /> 3. Contact Ecology if chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging is <br /> planned. <br /> 26 17576.003.doc <br />
