a. Prevent the high pH water (8.5 or above) from entering storm sewer systems or <br />surface waters; or 40 <br />b. If necessary, adjust or neutralize the high pH water until it is in the range of pH <br />6.5 to 8.5 (su) using an appropriate treatment BMP such as carbon dioxide <br />(CO2) sparging or dry ice. The Permittee must obtain written approval from <br />Ecology before using any form of chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging <br />or dry ice. <br />7. The Permittee must perform pH analysis on site with a calibrated pH meter, pH <br />test kit, or wide range pH indicator paper. The Permittee must record pH sampling <br />results in the site log book. <br />S5. REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS <br />A. High Turbidity Reporting <br />Anytime sampling performed in accordance with Special Condition S4.0 indicates <br />turbidity has reached the 250 NTUs or more (or transparency less than or equal to 6 cm) <br />high turbidity reporting level, the Permittee must either call the applicable Ecology <br />Region's Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) number by phone within 24 <br />hours of analysis or submit an electronic ERTS report (or submit an electronic report <br />through Ecology's Water Quality Permitting Portal (WQWebPortal) — Permit Submittals <br />when the form is available). See the CSWGP web site for links to ERTS and the <br />WQWebPortal: http://www.ecy.wa.goy/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/ • <br />index.htmL Also, see phone numbers in Special Condition S4.C.5.b.i. <br />B. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) <br />Permittees required to conduct water quality sampling in accordance with Special <br />Conditions S4.0 (Turbidity/Transparency), S4.13 (pH), S8 (303[4]/TMDL sampling), <br />and/or G13 (Additional Sampling) must submit the results to Ecology. <br />Permittees must submit monitoring data using Ecology's WQWebDMR web application <br />accessed through Ecology's Water Quality Permitting Portal. To find out more <br />information and to sign up for WQWebDMR go to: http://www.ecy.wa.g_oy/programs/ <br />wq/hermits/paris/Rortal.html. <br />Permittees unable to submit electronically (for example, those who do not have an <br />internet connection) must contact Ecology to request a waiver and obtain instructions on <br />how to obtain a paper copy DMR at: <br />Department of Ecology <br />Water Quality Program - Construction Stormwater <br />PO Box 47696 <br />Olympia, Washington 98504-7696 <br />Permittees who obtain a waiver not to use WQWebDMR must use the forms provided to <br />them by Ecology; submittals must be mailed to the address above.
