During the wetter months of the year, or when large storm events are predicted during <br />the summer months, each work area should be stabilized so that if showers occur, the <br />work area can receive the rainfall without excessive erosion or sediment transport. The <br />required measures for an area to be "buttoned -up" will depend on the time of year and <br />the duration the area will be left un-worked. During the winter months, areas that are <br />to be left un-worked for more than 2 days should be mulched or covered with plastic. <br />During the summer months, stabilization will usually consist of seal -rolling the subgrade. <br />Such measures will aid in the contractor's ability to get back into a work area after a <br />storm event. The stabilization process also includes establishing temporary storm water <br />conveyance channels through work areas to route runoff to the approved treatment <br />facilities. <br />5. Any disturbed areas should be revegetated as soon as possible. If it is outside of the <br />growing season, the disturbed areas should be covered with mulch, as recommended in <br />the erosion control plan. Straw mulch provides a cost-effective cover measure and can <br />be made wind -resistant with the application of a tackifier after it is placed. <br />6. Surface runoff and discharge should be controlled during and following development. In <br />no case should water be discharged on or above steep slope areas. Uncontrolled <br />discharge may promote erosion, sediment transport, and increase the risk of landslide <br />activity. <br />7. Soils that are to be reused around the site should be stored in such a manner as to <br />reduce erosion from the stockpile. Protective measures may include, but are not limited <br />to, covering with plastic sheeting, the use of low stockpiles in flat areas, or the use of silt <br />fences around stockpile perimeters. <br />8. On -site erosion control inspections and turbidity monitoring (when required) should be <br />performed in accordance with Ecology requirements. Weekly and monthly reporting to <br />Ecology should be performed on a regularly scheduled basis. Temporary and <br />permanent erosion control and drainage measures should be adjusted and maintained, <br />as necessary, for the duration of project construction. <br />It is our opinion that with the proper implementation of the TESC plans and by field -adjusting <br />appropriate mitigation elements (best management practices) throughout construction, as <br />recommended by the erosion control inspector, the potential adverse impacts from erosion <br />hazards on the project may be mitigated. <br />August 29, 2016 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. <br />SKL11d-KE160351A2-ProjectsJ20160351JKEJWP Page 9 <br />
