Element # 10: Control Dewaterina <br />It is anticipated that dewatering will not be needed. If dewatering is needed the <br />following guidance is provided. <br />Discharge foundation, vault, and trench dewatering water that has similar <br />characteristics to site stormwater runoff into a controlled conveyance system prior to <br />discharge to a stabilized outfall location. <br />Clean, non -turbid dewatering water, such as well -point groundwater, can be discharged <br />to systems tributary to state surface waters, provided the dewatering flow does not <br />cause erosion or flooding of receiving waters. These clean waters should not be routed <br />through stormwater sediment ponds/tanks. <br />Handle highly turbid or contaminated dewatering water from construction equipment <br />operation, clamshell digging, concrete tremie pour, or work inside a cofferdam <br />separately from stormwater at the site. <br />Other disposal options, depending on site constraints, may include: <br />• Infiltration <br />• Transport off -site in vehicle, such as a vacuum flush truck, for legal disposal in a <br />manner that does not pollute state waters <br />• Ecology approved on -site chemical treatment or other suitable treatment <br />technologies <br />• Use of a sedimentation bag with outfall to a ditch or swale for small volumes of <br />localized dewatering <br />Element #11: Maintain BMPs <br />Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be maintained and <br />repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. <br />Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with BMPs. <br />Sediment control BMPs shall be inspected weekly or after a runoff -producing storm <br />event during the "Dry Season" and daily during the ""Wet Season". The inspection <br />frequency for stabilized, inactive sites shall be determined by the City based on the level <br />of soil stability and potential for adverse environmental impacts. <br />Remove temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs within 30 days after final site <br />stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed and on the <br />approval of the inspector. Trapped sediment shall be removed or stabilized on site. <br />Permanently stabilize disturbed soil resulting from removal of BMPs or vegetation. <br />
