preparation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and must be included <br /> to the extent practical. In cases where the probable need to bypass is determined early, <br /> continued analysis is necessary up to and including the construction period in an effort to <br /> F r minimize or eliminate the bypass. <br /> Ecology will consider the following before issuing an administrative order for this type <br /> bypass. <br /> a. If the bypass is necessary to perform construction or maintenance-related activities <br /> essential to meet the requirements of this permit. <br /> b. If there are feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment <br /> facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance during <br /> normal periods of equipment down time,or transport of untreated wastes to <br /> another treatment facility. <br /> c. If the bypass is planned and scheduled to minimize adverse effects on the public and <br /> r the environment. <br /> After consideration of the above and the adverse effects of the proposed bypass and any <br /> other relevant factors, Ecology will approve, conditionally approve, or deny the request. <br /> The public must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on bypass incidents of <br /> significant duration,to the extent feasible. Approval of a request to bypass will be by <br /> administrative order issued by Ecology under RCW 90.48.120. <br /> B. Duty to Mitigate <br /> The Permittee is required to take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge or <br /> sludge use or disposal in violation of this permit that has a reasonable likelihood of adversely <br /> affecting human health or the environment. <br /> i ., <br /> ; •r <br /> i . <br /> I <br /> � I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I; <br /> E <br /> I <br /> Construction Stormwater General Permit Page 41 <br />
