Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> Silt fence will be placed just inside of the clearing and grading limits around the entire site <br /> perimeter prior to any clearing or grading. Erosion prevention and sediment control materials <br /> will be kept on the project site at all times, stockpiled and readily available. The proposed <br /> sediment ponds will be used as settling basins during construction. <br /> Alternate sediment control 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 /> In addition, sediment will be removed from paved areas in and adjacent to construction work <br /> areas manually or using mechanical sweepers, as needed, to minimize tracking of sediments on <br /> vehicle tires away from the site and to minimize wash off of sediments from adjacent streets in <br /> runoff. <br /> Whenever possible, sediment laden water shall be discharged into onsite, relatively level, <br /> vegetated areas (BMP C240 paragraph 4, Volume II page 116). <br /> In some cases, sediment discharge in concentrated runoff can be controlled using permanent <br /> stormwater BMPs (e.g., infiltration swales, ponds, trenches). Sediment loads can limit the <br /> effectiveness of some permanent stormwater BMPs, such as those used for infiltration or <br /> biofiltration; however, those BMPs designed to remove solids by settling (wet ponds or detention <br /> ponds) can be used during the construction phase. When permanent stormwater BMPs will be <br /> used to control sediment discharge during construction, the structure will be protected from <br /> excessive sedimentation with adequate erosion and sediment control BMPs. Any accumulated <br /> sediment shall be removed after construction is complete and the permanent stormwater BMP <br /> will be restabilized with vegetation per applicable design requirements once the remainder of <br /> the site has been stabilized. <br /> The following BMPs will be implemented as end-of-pipe sediment controls as required to meet <br /> permitted turbidity limits in the site discharge(s). Prior to the implementation of these <br /> technologies, sediment sources and erosion control and soil stabilization BMP efforts will be <br /> maximized to reduce the need for end-of-pipe sedimentation controls. <br /> ■ Temporary Sediment Pond (BMP C241) <br /> ■ Construction Stormwater Filtration (BMP C251) <br /> • Construction Stormwater Chemical Treatment (BMP C 250) (implemented <br /> only with prior written approval from Ecology). <br /> 8 <br />
