Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <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 /> • Plastic Covering(BMP C123) <br /> • Temporary Seeding (BMP C120) <br /> The topography of the site is relatively flat and will not trigger high amounts of erosion. <br /> Stabilization BMPs such as temporary seeding and/or plastic covering shall be implemented, as <br /> necessary,to prevent erosion on exposed soils. <br /> Alternate soil stabilization 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 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, no soils shall remain <br /> exposed and unworked for more than 7 days during the dry season (May 1 to September 30) <br /> and 2 days during the wet season(October 1 to April 30). Regardless of the time of year, all <br /> soils shall be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on <br /> weather forecasts. <br /> In general, cut and fill slopes will be stabilized as soon as possible and soil stockpiles will be <br /> temporarily covered with plastic sheeting. All stockpiled soils shall be stabilized from erosion, <br /> protected with sediment trapping measures, and where possible, be located away from storm <br /> drain inlets, waterways, and drainage channels. <br /> 3.1.6 Element#6—Protect Slopes <br /> All cut and fill slopes will be designed, constructed, and protected in a manner that minimizes <br /> erosion. The following specific BMPs will be used to protect slopes for this project: <br /> • Interceptor Dike and Swale (BMP C200) <br /> • Check Dams (BMP C207) <br /> The topography of the site is relatively flat. Interceptor ditches and check dams will capture and <br /> convey stormwater away from slopes to minimize erosion. <br /> 8 <br />
