A. Control pollutants by use of sediment and erosion controls, wastewater and stormwater management controls, construction site management practices, and other controls including State and local control requirements.

B. Sediment and Erosion Controls:

1. Refer to CGP for required minimum BMPs.

2. Establish methods for controlling sediment and erosion which address vegetative practices, structural control, silt fences, straw dikes, sediment controls, and operator controls as appropriate.

3. Institute stormwater management measures as required, including velocity dissipaters, and solid waste controls which address controls for building materials and offsite tracking of sediment.

4. Establish stabilized construction entrances and exits to sufficiently control sediment discharge from site.

5. Perform street sweeping at entrances and exits to prevent track out of sediment as needed.

6. Use concrete washout areas to ensure no discharge to underlying soil and surrounding areas.

C. Wastewater and Stormwater Management Controls:

1. Pollution Prevention Measures:

a. Use methods of dewatering, unwatering, excavating, or stockpiling earth and rock materials which include prevention measures to control silting and erosion, and which will intercept and settle any runoff of sediment-ladened waters.

b. Prevent wastewater from general construction activities such as drainwater collection, aggregate processing, concrete batching, and drilling, grouting, or other construction operations, from entering flowing or dry watercourses without the use of approved turbidity control methods.

c. Divert stormwater runoff from upslope areas away from disturbed areas.

2. Turbidity Prevention Measures:

a. Use methods for prevention of excess turbidity which include, but are not restricted to, intercepting ditches, settling ponds, gravel filter entrapment dikes, flocculating processes, recirculation, combinations thereof, or other approved methods that are not harmful to aquatic life.

01 57 30 - 8

b. Wastewaters discharged into surface waters shall meet conditions of the Section 401 and Section 402.

c. Do not operate mechanized equipment in waterbodies that have not been cleared by Section 404 permit and then only as necessary to perform required construction.

D. SPCC Plan and Requirements:

Pursuant to Section 311 of Clean Water Act, Contractor shall prepare SPCC whenever locations of construction site are such that oil from an accidental spillage could reasonably be expected to enter into or upon navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines and aggregate storage of oil at site is over 1,320-gallons or a single container has capacity in excess of 660-gallons.

2. SPCC shall be reviewed and certified by a registered professional engineer.

3. Prevent contamination of streamside soil and watercourse from cement; concrete or concrete washing, asphalt, paint or other coating materials, oil or other petroleum products and hazardous materials.

4. Clean up spills and notify COR immediately of any spill and cleanup procedures.

5. Provide staging and storage areas outside stream zone for equipment, construction materials, fuels, lubricants, solvents, and any other possible contaminates.

6. Perform refueling and vehicle maintenance at least 100-feet from potential receiving waters.

7. Inspect equipment to ensure seals prevent any fuel, engine oil or other fluids from leaking.

9. Cement and concrete delivery and transfer equipment shall be washed in contained areas protected from direct runoff until material sets to prevent contamination of streamside soil and watercourses.

E. Construction Site Management:

1. Contractor Construction Operations:

a. All elements of SWPPP shall be implemented by QSP.

b. Perform construction activities by methods that will prevent entrance, or accidental spillage, of solid matter, contaminants, debris, or other pollutants or wastes into streams, flowing or dry watercourses, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, or underground water sources:

1) Pollutants and wastes include, but are not restricted to: sediment, refuse, garbage, cement, sanitary waste, industrial waste, hazardous materials, radioactive substances, oil and other

01 57 30 - 9 petroleum products, aggregate processing tailings, mineral salts, and thermal pollution.

2. Stockpiled or Deposited Materials:

a. Stockpile or deposit excavated materials or other construction materials in designated areas. Do not stockpile or deposit excavated materials or other construction materials, near or on, stream banks, lake shorelines, or other watercourse perimeters where they can be washed away by high water or storm runoff or can in any way encroach upon the watercourse.

b. Cover inactive stockpiles with plastic. Inactive is defined as not scheduled to be re-disturbed for 14-days or more.

c. Install straw waddles around all stockpiles.

3. Petroleum Product Storage Tanks Management:

a. Place oil or other petroleum product storage tanks at least 100-feet from streams, flowing or dry watercourses, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs, and any other water source.

b. Do not use underground storage tanks.

c. Construct storage area dikes at least 12-inches high or graded and sloped to permit safe containment of leaks and spills equal to storage tank capacity located in the area plus sufficient freeboard to contain the 25-year rainstorm:
