Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> 3.1.3 Element#3—Control Flow Rates <br /> The project site is consists of less than 2.5 acres being converted from native vegetation to <br /> pasture,therefore, this element is not required. <br /> 3.1.4 Element#4—Install Sediment Controls <br /> All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal <br /> BMP before leaving the construction site or prior to being discharged to an infiltration facility. <br /> The specific BMPs to be used for controlling sediment on this project include: <br /> • Silt Fence (BMP C233) <br /> Alternate sediment control BMPs are included in Appendix C as a quick reference tool for the <br /> onsite inspector in the event the BMP(s) listed above are deemed ineffective or inappropriate <br /> during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit (Appendix <br /> D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a violation(s) of the <br /> NPDES 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 C after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or <br /> 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 on <br /> vehicle tires away from the site and to minimize washoff of sediments from adjacent streets in <br /> runoff. <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 detention <br /> ponds) can be used during the construction phase. When permanent stormwater BMPs will be <br /> used to control sediment discharge during construction, the structure will be protected from <br /> excessive sedimentation with adequate erosion and sediment control BMPs. Any accumulated <br /> sediment shall be removed after construction is complete and the permanent stormwater BMP <br /> will be restabilized with vegetation per applicable design requirements once the remainder of the <br /> site has been stabilized. <br /> 3.1.5 Element#5—Stabilize Soils <br /> Exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized with the application of effective BMPs to prevent <br /> erosion throughout the life of the project. The specific BMPs for soil stabilization that shall be <br /> used on this project include: <br /> 6 <br />
