Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> 2. Continue daily sampling until the turbidity is less than 25 NTU (or <br /> transparency is greater than 32 cm). <br /> 3. Initiate additional treatment BMPs such as off-site treatment, infiltration, <br /> filtration and chemical treatment within 24 hours of the first 250 NTU <br /> exceedance. <br /> 4. Implement additional treatment BMPs as soon as possible, but within 7 <br /> days of the first 250 NTU exceedance. <br /> 5. Describe inspection results and remedial actions taken in the site log book <br /> and in monthly discharge monitoring reports as described in Section 7.0 of <br /> this SWPPP. <br /> 6.2.2 pH Sampling <br /> Stormwater runoff will be monitored for pH starting on the first day of any activity that includes <br /> more than 40 yards of poured or recycled concrete, or after the application of"Engineered Soils" <br /> such as, Portland cement treated base, cement kiln dust, or fly ash. This does not include <br /> fertilizers. For engineered soils,the pH monitoring period begins when engineered soils are first <br /> exposed to precipitation and continue until the area is fully stabilized. <br /> Stormwater samples will be collected daily from all points of discharge from the site and <br /> measured for pH using a calibrated pH meter,pH test kit, or wide range pH indicator paper. If <br /> the measured pH is 8.5 or greater,the following steps will be conducted: <br /> 1. Prevent the high pH water from entering storm drains or surface water. <br /> 2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water if necessary using appropriate technology such as <br /> CO2 sparging (liquid or dry ice). <br /> 3. Contact Ecology if chemical treatment other than CO2 sparging is planned. • <br /> Sampling and monitoring for pH will occur during the phase of construction when concrete <br /> pouring will be conducted until fully cured(3 weeks from last pour) and discharges are <br /> documented to be below pH 8.5. Samples will be collected weekly at the sedimentation pond <br /> prior to discharge to surface water. Samples will be analyzed for pH using a calibrated pH meter <br /> and recorded in the site log book. <br /> 1. The key benchmark pH value for stormwater is a maximum of 8.5. If a pH greater than <br /> 8.5 is measured in the sedimentation trap/pond(s)that has the potential to discharge to <br /> surface water,the following steps will be conducted: <br /> 2. Prevent(detain) all discharges from leaving the site and entering surface waters or storm <br /> drains if the pH is greater than 8.5 <br /> 21 <br />
