compliance with Special Conditions S4 (Monitoring) and S9 (SWPPPs) will <br />constitute compliance with the approved TMDL. <br />c. Where an applicable TMDL has not specified a waste load allocation for <br />construction stormwater discharges, but has not excluded these discharges, <br />compliance with Special Conditions S4 (Monitoring) and S9 (SWPPPs) will <br />constitute compliance with the approved TMDL. <br />d. Where an applicable TMDL specifically precludes or prohibits discharges from <br />construction activity, the operator is not eligible for coverage under this permit. <br />2. Applicable TMDL means a TMDL for turbidity, fine sediment, high pH, or <br />phosphorus that is completed and approved by EPA before January 1, 2016, or <br />before the date the operator's complete permit application is received by Ecology, <br />whichever is later. TMDLs completed after the operator's complete permit <br />application is received by Ecology become applicable to the Permittee only if they <br />are imposed through an administrative order by Ecology, or through a modification <br />of permit coverage. <br />S9. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN <br />The Permittee must prepare and properly implement an adequate Stormwater Pollution <br />Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction activity in accordance with the requirements of <br />this permit beginning with initial soil disturbance and until final stabilization. <br />• A. The Permittee's SWPPP must meet the following objectives: <br />1. To implement best management practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and <br />sedimentation, and to identify, reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater <br />contamination and water pollution from construction activity. <br />2. To prevent violations of surface water quality, ground water quality, or sediment <br />management standards. <br />3. To control peak volumetric flow rates and velocities of stormwater discharges. <br />B. General Requirements <br />1. The SWPPP must include a narrative and drawings. All BMPs must be clearly <br />referenced in the narrative and marked on the drawings. The SWPPP narrative <br />must include documentation to explain and justify the pollution prevention <br />decisions made for the project. Documentation must include: <br />a. Information about existing site conditions (topography, drainage, soils, <br />vegetation, etc.). <br />b. Potential erosion problem areas. <br />c. The 13 elements of a SWPPP in Special Condition S9.D.1-13, including BMPs <br />• used to address each element. <br />C'anstr uc°tio n Stor mwater General Permit <br />Page 27 <br />
