Element#3- Control Flow Rates <br /> In order to protect the properties and waterways downstream of the project site, stormwater <br /> discharges from the site will be controlled. The specific BMPs for flow control that shall be <br /> used on this project are identified in Appendix 2B. <br /> Alternate flow control BMPs are included in Appendix 2C as a quick reference tool for the <br /> onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s)are deemed ineffective or inappropriate <br /> during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit. To <br /> avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation of the NPDES <br /> Construction Stormwater permit, the Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will <br /> promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs after the first sign <br /> that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing. <br /> In general, discharge rates of stormwater from the site will be controlled where increases in <br /> impervious area or soil compaction during construction could lead to downstream erosion, or <br /> where necessary to meet local agency stormwater discharge requirements(e.g. discharge to <br /> combined sewer systems). <br /> Element#4-Install Sediment Controls <br /> All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment <br /> removal BMP before leaving the construction site or prior to being discharged to an infiltration <br /> facility. The specific BMPs to be used for controlling sediment on this project are identified in <br /> Appendix 2B. <br /> Alternate sediment control BMPs are included in Appendix 2C as a quick reference tool for <br /> the onsite inspector in the event the primary BMP(s)are deemed ineffective or inappropriate <br /> during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit <br /> (Appendix 2D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a <br /> violation of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit,the Certified Erosion and Sediment <br /> Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the alternative BMPs <br /> at the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing. <br /> In addition, sediment will be removed from paved areas in and adjacent to construction work <br /> areas manually or using mechanical sweepers, as needed,to minimize tracking of sediments <br /> on vehicle tires away from the site and to minimize wash off of sediments from adjacent <br /> streets in runoff. <br /> Whenever possible, sediment laden water shall be discharged into onsite, relatively level, <br /> vegetated areas(BMP C240 paragraph 4, Volume II page 116). <br /> In some cases, sediment discharge in concentrated runoff can be controlled using permanent <br /> stormwater BMPs(e.g., infiltration swales, ponds,trenches). Sediment loads can limit the <br /> effectiveness of some permanent stormwater BMPs, such as those used for infiltration or <br /> biofiltration; however,those BMPs designed to remove solids by settling (wet ponds or <br /> detention ponds)can be used during the construction phase. When permanent stormwater <br /> BMPs will be used to control sediment discharge during construction, the structure will be <br /> protected from excessive sedimentation with adequate erosion and sediment control BMPs. <br /> II Any accumulated sediment shall be removed after construction is complete and the <br /> permanent stormwater BMP will be restabilized with vegetation per applicable design <br /> requirements once the remainder of the site has been stabilized. <br /> 1800 41 st Street-Parking Expansion <br /> Drainage Report <br />
