Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br />3.0 Construction Stormwater BMPs <br />3.1 The 12 BMP Elements <br />3.1.1 Element #1 — Mark Clearing Limits <br />To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits of <br />construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Trees that are to be <br />presetved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated, both in the <br />field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native topsoil shall be retained in an <br />undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible. The BMPs relevant to marking the clearing <br />limits that will be applied for this project include: <br />• Construction Fence (BMP C103) <br />Alternate BMPs for marking clearing limits are included in Appendix C as a quick reference tool <br />for the onsite inspector in the event the BMP(s} listed above are deemed ineffective or <br />inappropriate during construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES <br />Permit (Appendix D). To avoid potential erosion and sediment control issues that may cause a <br />violation(s) of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit (as provided in Appendix D), the <br />Certiiied Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or <br />more of the alternative BMPs listed in Appendix C after the first sign that existing BMPs are <br />ineffective ar failing. <br />3.1.2 Element #2 — Establish Construction Access <br />Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where <br />necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public <br />roads, and wheel washing, street sweeping, and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent <br />sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site. The <br />specific BMPs related to establishing construction access that will be used on this project <br />include: <br />• Stabilized Construction Entrance (BMP C105) <br />Alternate construction access 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 ineffcctive or <br />failing. <br />9 <br />
