Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> 3.1.3 Element#3—Control Flow Rates <br /> In order to protect the properties and waterways downstream of the project site, stormwater <br /> discharges from the site will be controlled. The specific BMPs for flow control that can be used <br /> on this project include: <br /> • Project Scheduling (BMP C162) <br /> • Interceptor Ditch(BMP C200) <br /> • Check Dams (BMP C207) I <br /> • Silt Fence (BMP C233) or Straw Wattles (BMP C235) <br /> • Portable Water Storage Tanks (e.g. Baker Tanks) for Sedimentation <br /> Excessive stormwater discharge from the site to the combined sewer could create a combined <br /> sewer overflow condition downstream of the project site. The contractor should not allow <br /> discharge above the existing 2-year rate for the site (see Section 2.2) during a storm event. <br /> Stormwater captured on site should be retained as necessary in a sedimentation tank or pond and <br /> slowly released to avoid surcharging the combined sewer during peak flow events. <br /> Alternate flow control BMPs are included in Appendix C as a quick reference tool for the onsite <br /> inspector in the event the BMP(s) listed above are deemed ineffective or inappropriate during <br /> construction to satisfy the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit(Appendix D). <br /> 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 alternative <br /> BMPs listed in Appendix C after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing. <br /> The project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest. As such, the project must <br /> comply with Minimum Requirement 7 (Ecology 2005). <br /> In general, discharge rates of stormwater from the site will be controlled where increases in <br /> impervious area or soil compaction during construction could lead to downstream erosion, or <br /> where necessary to meet local agency stormwater discharge requirements (e.g. discharge to <br /> combined sewer systems). <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) or Straw Wattles (BMP C235) <br /> 6 1 <br />
