AD SYSTEMS EXPANSION EVERETT, WA <br /> • If permanent infiltration ponds are used for flow control during construction,these facilities should be <br /> protected from siltation during the construction phase. <br /> Element 4:Install Sediment Controls <br /> • Prior to leaving a construction site, or prior to discharge to an infiltration facility, stormwater runoff <br /> from disturbed areas shall pass through a sediment pond or other appropriate sediment removal <br /> BMP. Runoff from fully stabilized areas may be discharged without a sediment removal BMP, but must <br /> meet the flow control performance standard of Element #3, bullet #1. Full stabilization means <br /> concrete or asphalt paving; quarry spalls used as ditch lining; or the use of rolled erosion products, a <br /> bonded fiber matrix product, or vegetative cover in a manner that will fully prevent soil erosion. The <br /> Local Permitting Authority shall inspect and approve areas stabilized by means other than pavement <br /> or quarry spalls. <br /> • Sediment ponds, vegetated buffer strips, sediment barriers or filters, dikes, and other BMPs intended <br /> to trap sediment on-site shall be constructed as one of the first steps in grading. These BMPs shall be <br /> functional before other land disturbing activities take place. <br /> • Earthen structures such as dams, dikes, and diversions shall be seeded and mulched according to the <br /> timing indicated in Element#5. <br /> • BMPs intended to trap sediment on site must be located in a manner to avoid interference with the <br /> movement of juvenile salmonids attempting to enter off-channel areas or drainages, often during <br /> non-storm events, in response to rain event changes in stream elevation or wetted area. <br /> Element 5:Stabilize Soils <br /> • All exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized by application of effective BMPs that protect the <br /> soil from the erosive forces of raindrop impact and flowing water, and wind erosion. <br /> • From October 1 through April 30, no soils shall remain exposed and unworked for more than 2 days. <br /> From May 1 to September 30, no soils shall remain exposed and unworked for more than 7 days.This <br /> condition applies to all soils on site, whether at final grade or not. These time limits may be adjusted <br /> by the local permitting authority if it can be shown that the average time between storm events <br /> justifies a different standard. <br /> • Soils shall be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on the <br /> weather forecast. <br /> • Applicable practices include, but are not limited to, temporary and permanent seeding, sodding, <br /> mulching, plastic covering, soil application of polyacrylamide (PAM), the early application of gravel <br /> base on areas to be paved, and dust control. <br /> • Soil stabilization measures selected should be appropriate for the time of year, site conditions, <br /> estimated duration of use, and potential water quality impacts that stabilization agents may have on <br /> downstream waters or ground water. <br /> • Soil stockpiles must be stabilized from erosion, protected with sediment trapping measures, and when <br /> possible, be located away from storm drain inlets,waterways and drainage channels. <br /> • Linear construction activities, including right-of-way and easement clearing, roadway development, <br /> pipelines, and trenching for utilities, shall be conducted to meet the soil stabilization requirement. <br /> Contractors shall install the bedding materials, roadbeds, structures, pipelines, or utilities and re- <br /> stabilize the disturbed soils so that: <br /> NOVEMBER 20, 2017 STORM WATER DRAINAGE SUMMARY PAGE 11 <br />
