7. Information to Bidders, WPDES Transportation Construction General Permit (TCGP) for Storm Water Discharges.

The following Project IDs have less than one acre of land disturbing construction activity and do not require coverage under the TCGP:

Project ID Design Calculated Amount of Land Disturbing Construction Activity (acres)

2695-05-72 0.2

If additional land disturbance is necessitated for the project due to proposed contractor means and methods, including temporary support activity sites, and the additional land disturbance results in a total cumulative land disturbance for the project of one acre or more, TCGP coverage will need to be obtained.

The department will be responsible for obtaining TCGP coverage for the project following department approval of the associated ECIP and DNR concurrence that the project has met the requirements for coverage under the TCGP. Do not begin land disturbing construction activity until the ECIP is approved and the DNR conveys TCGP coverage for the project.

Contractor necessitated changes resulting in the need for permit coverage will not be cause for schedule delays or other damages.

Stormwater discharge permit coverage for additional land disturbing construction activities related to contractor means and methods, including temporary support activity sites, will be considered as part of the ECIP review and approval process. Coverage under the TCGP for additional land disturbance areas will be considered if the areas meet all the following:

• Must meet the TCGP applicability criteria.

• Must be for the exclusive use of a WisDOT project.

• Land disturbance first commences after the ECIP approval, and the areas are fully restored to meet the final stabilization criteria of the permit upon completion of the work.

If TCGP coverage is deemed necessary and obtained for the project, conform to all permit requirements and post the “Certificate of Permit Coverage” in a conspicuous place at the construction site.

Permit coverage, if necessary, will be under the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Transportation Construction General Permit, (WPDES Permit No. WI-S066796-2), and is located at: :

https://widnr.widen.net/s/s5mwp2gd7s/finalsignedwisdotcsgp

Obtain any permits for areas that are not approved by the department for coverage under the TCGP.

8. Erosion Control.

Add to standard spec 107.20 the following:

Erosion control best management practices (BMP’s) shown on the plans are at suggested locations. The actual locations will be determined by the contractor’s ECIP and by the engineer. Include dust control and each dewatering or by-pass (mechanical pumping) operation in the ECIP submittal. The ECIP will supplement information shown on the plans and not reproduce it. The ECIP will identify how to implement the project’s erosion control plan. ECIP will demonstrate timely and diligently staged operations, continuing all construction operations methodically from the initial removals and topsoil stripping operations through the subsequent grading, paving, re-application of top soil, and restoration of permanent vegetation to minimize the period of exposure to possible erosion.

Provide the ECIP 14 days prior to the pre-construction meeting. Provide 1 copy of the ECIP to the department and 1 copy of the ECIP to the WDNR Liaison Ryan Pappas, (414) 750-7495, ryan.pappas@wisconsin.gov. Do not implement the ECIP without department approval and perform all work conforming to the approved ECIP.

Maintain Erosion Control BMP’s until permanent vegetation is established or until the engineer determines that the BMP is no longer required.

Stockpile excess materials or spoils on upland areas away from wetlands, floodplains, and waterways.

Prevent the discharge of sediment eroding from soil stockpiles. If soil stockpiles will be left for more than 14 days, install temporary stabilization measures as the engineer orders and as identified in the approved

ECIP.

When land disturbing construction activities have temporarily ceased and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days, install temporary stabilization measures as the engineer orders and as identified in the approved ECIP.

Final stabilization activity shall commence when land disturbing activities cease and final grade has been reached on any portion of the site.

Dewatering (Mechanical Pumping) for Treatment Water (sediment-laden) Operations If dewatering operations require pumping of water containing sediments (sand, silt, and clay particles), the discharge will not be allowed to leave the work site or discharge to a storm water conveyance system without sediment removal treatment. Do not allow any excavation for; structures, utilities, grading, maintaining drainage that requires dewatering (mechanical pumping) of water containing sediments (sand, silt, and clay particles) to leave the work site or discharge to a storm water conveyance system without sediment removal treatment.

Prior to each dewatering operation, submit to the department a separate ECIP amendment for sediment removal. Guidance on dewatering can be found on the Wisconsin DNR website located in the Storm Water Construction Technical Standards, Dewatering Code #1061, http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/const_standards.html.

Include reasoning, location, and schedule duration proposed for each operation. Per Code 1061, include all selection criteria: site assessment, dewatering practice selection, calculations, plans, specifications, operations, maintenance, and location of proposed treated water discharge. Provide a stabilized https://widnr.widen.net/s/s5mwp2gd7s/finalsignedwisdotcsgp http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/standards/const_standards.html discharge area. If directing discharge towards or into an inlet structure, provide additional inlet protection for back-up protection. Dewatering is considered incidental to the contract.

Maintaining Drainage Maintain drainage at and through worksite during construction conforming to standard spec 107.20, 204.3.2.1(3), 205.3.3 and 520.3.1(2). Use existing storm sewers, existing culvert pipes, existing drainage channels, temporary culvert pipes, or temporary drainage channels to maintain existing surface and pipe drainage. Pumps may be required to drain the surface, pipe, and structure discharges during construction. Costs for furnishing, operating, and maintaining the pumps is considered incidental to the contract.
