Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> 6.2 Stormwater Quality Monitoring <br /> The applicant will monitor for the parameter(s) of concern described in the sections below and <br /> document monitoring results in the site log book during construction. The applicant will manage <br /> stormwater and construction dewatering discharges such that the discharge is consistent with <br /> applicable water quality requirements. <br /> Where there is no off site discharge from the construction site during a calendar week, sampling <br /> is not required. Sampling is not required outside of normal working hours or during unsafe <br /> conditions. <br /> 6.2.1 Turbidity Sampling <br /> Monitoring requirements for the proposed project will include either turbidity or water <br /> transparency sampling to monitor site discharges for water quality compliance with the 2005 <br /> Construction Stormwater General Permit(Appendix D). Sampling will be conducted at all <br /> discharge points at least once per calendar week. <br /> Turbidity or transparency monitoring will follow the analytical methodologies described in <br /> Section S4 of the 2005 Construction Stormwater General Permit(Appendix D). The key <br /> benchmark values that require action are 25 NTU for turbidity (equivalent to 32 cm <br /> transparency) and 250 NTU for turbidity (equivalent to 6 cm transparency). If the 25 NTU <br /> benchmark for turbidity (equivalent to 32 cm transparency) is exceeded, the following steps will <br /> be conducted: <br /> 1. Ensure all BMPs specified in this SWPPP are installed and functioning as <br /> intended. <br /> 2. Assess whether additional BMPs should be implemented, and document revisions <br /> to the SWPPP as necessary. <br /> 3. Sample discharge location daily until the analysis results are less than 25 NTU <br /> (turbidity) or greater than 32 cm(transparency). <br /> If the turbidity is greater than 25 NTU (or transparency is less than 32 cm)but less than 250 <br /> NTU (transparency greater than 6 cm) for more than 3 days, additional treatment BMPs will be <br /> implemented within 24 hours of the third consecutive sample that exceeded the benchmark <br /> value. Additional treatment BMPs to be considered will include., but are not limited to, off-site <br /> treatment, infiltration, filtration and chemical treatment. <br /> 18 <br />
