Construction Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) (2.0 <br /> The SWPPP is a living document reflecting current conditions and changes throughout the life <br /> of the project. These changes may be informal (i.e. hand-written notes and deletions). Update <br /> the SWPPP when the CESCL has noted a deficiency in BMPs or deviation from original design. <br /> The 13 Elements (2.1) <br /> Element 1 : Preserve Vegetation / Mark Clearing Limits (2.1.1) <br /> To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the <br /> limits of construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. In general, <br /> natural vegetation and native topsoil shall be retained in an undisturbed state to the <br /> maximum extent possible. The BMPs relevant to marking the clearing limits that will be <br /> applied for this project include: <br /> • Silt Fence (BMP C233) <br /> Clearing limits shall be marked in the initial stages of construction in order to establish the <br /> correct boundary for clearing and grubbing. Alternate BMPs for marking clearing limits are <br /> included in Appendix B as a quick reference tool for the onsite inspector in the event the <br /> BMP(s) listed above are deemed ineffective or inappropriate during construction to satisfy <br /> the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit (Appendix D). To avoid potential <br /> erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) of the NPDES <br /> Construction Stormwater permit (as provided in Appendix D), the Certified Erosion and <br /> Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or more of the <br /> alternative BMPs listed in Appendix B after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or <br /> failing. <br /> 7 <br />
