Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) WA NP OLYM 115(1) / Repair Storm Damage at Mora Road Project i

Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Template To be covered under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Construction General Permit (CGP), all construction operators are required to develop a “Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan” (or “SWPPP”) prior to submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for permit coverage.

EPA created this SWPPP Template to help you develop a SWPPP that is compliant with the minimum requirements of Part 7 of EPA’s 2022 Construction General Permit (“2022 CGP”), and is customizable to your specific project and site.

Instructions for Using the SWPPP Template

Each section of the SWPPP Template includes instructions and space for your project and site information. Read the instructions for each section before you complete that section. Specific instructions on what information to include is indicated in each text field in blue text. Click on the blue text and the instructions will disappear once you start typing. The SWPPP Template is an editable document file so that you can easily add tables and additional text and delete unneeded or non-applicable fields. Note that some sections may require only a brief description while others may require several pages of explanation.

The following tips for using this template will help ensure that you meet the minimum permit requirements:

• Read the 2022 CGP thoroughly before you begin preparation of your SWPPP to ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit’s underlying requirements. You will also need to consult Part 9 of the permit to determine if your State or Tribe has included additional requirements that affect you.

• Complete the SWPPP prior to submitting your NOI for permit coverage. This is required in Parts 1.4 and 7.1.

• If you prepared a SWPPP under a previous version of EPA’s CGP, you must update your SWPPP to ensure that the 2022 CGP requirements are addressed prior to submitting your

NOI.

• If there is more than one construction operator for your project, consider coordinating development of your SWPPP with the other operators.

• Once EPA has provided your site with coverage under the CGP, include your NOI, your authorization email, and a copy of the CGP as attachments to the SWPPP. See Appendices B and C of the SWPPP Template.

While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions contained in the SWPPP Template, it is the permit, not the template, that determines the actual obligations of regulated construction stormwater discharges. In the event of a conflict between the SWPPP Template and any corresponding provision of the 2022 CGP, you must abide by the requirements in the permit. EPA welcomes comments on the SWPPP Template at any time and will consider those comments in any future revision of this document. You may contact EPA for CGP-related inquiries at cgp@epa.gov.

2.3 Nature of the Construction Activities

General Description of Project Provide a general description of the nature of your construction activities, including the age or dates of past renovations for structures that are undergoing demolition:

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in partnership with Olympic National Park and Quileute Tribe is proposing the Repair Storm Damage at Mora Road Project. The purpose of the project is to remediate issues related to erosion and access and to improve the quality of fish habitat.

Winter storms during the 2018/2019 season caused the Quillayute River to shift such that a majority of the river flow was directed toward the north bank, undermining a section of Mora Road at MP 1.25, resulting in closing the road in February 2019. Olympic National Park placed riprap protection at MP 1.25 as an interim measure in February 2019 to protect the remaining road prism until a design and subsequent permanent stabilization measures could be completed.

Permanent stabilization measures as proposed in this project will include installing a log structure immediately upstream of the MP 1.25 riprap. This dual-purpose log structure is intended to train the Quillayute River away from Mora Road, while also providing fish habitat and large woody material to the system. Live plants will be installed within and on top of the log structure to improve habitat quality. This structure is proposed to be 560 feet long, and consists of two deflector structures at the upstream and downstream end, with three revetment structures in between. Overall, the project length will be 640 feet.

Instructions (see CGP Parts 1.2.1.c and 7.2.3):

― Provide a general description of the nature of the construction activities at your site.

― Describe the size of the property (in acres or length in miles if a linear construction site), the total area expected to be disturbed by the construction activities (to the nearest quarter acre or quarter mile if a linear construction site), and the maximum area expected to be disturbed at any one time.

― A description of any on-site and off-site construction support activity areas covered by this permit;

― Indicate the type of construction site, whether there will be certain demolition activities, and whether the predevelopment land use was for agriculture.

― Provide a list and description of all pollutant-generating activities (e.g., paving operations; concrete, paint, and stucco washout and waste disposal; solid waste storage and disposal; and dewatering operations) and indicate for each activity the associated pollutants or pollutant constituents (e.g., sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, paints, caulks, sealants, fluorescent light ballasts, contaminated substrates, solvents, fuels) which could be discharged in stormwater from your construction site.

― Describe the construction support activities covered by this permit (see Part 1.2.1.c of the permit).

General Description of Project Provide a general description of the nature of your construction activities, including the age or dates of past renovations for structures that are undergoing demolition:

If you are conducting earth-disturbing activities in response to a public emergency, document the cause of the public emergency (e.g., mud slides, earthquake, extreme flooding conditions, widespread disruption in essential public services), information substantiating its occurrence (e.g., State disaster declaration or similar State or local declaration), and a description of the construction necessary to reestablish affected public services:

The proposed MP 1.25 Large Wood Structure will be constructed from the top of bank using heavy equipment. The types of equipment likely to be used for construction include excavators, off-road and on-road haul trucks, dozers, graders, pile drivers (vibratory and/or impact), cranes, chainsaws, pumps, and generators. Pile drivers will be used to install the vertical piles within the large wood structures.

This feature is within the 100-year floodplain, and a portion of this feature is within the Quillayute River Ordinary High Water (OHW). Prior to installation, a riprap buttress will be installed adjacent to the top of the bank to provide a stable platform from which excavation and structure installation can take place, while minimizing the risk of bank failure. A barge may also be used to allow for increased access during large wood structure installation. The large wood structure is expected to be installed according to the following sequence, while final sequencing will be the means and methods of the construction contractor:

1. Install temporary traffic control measures, temporary worksite isolation measures, and soil erosion and sediment control.

2. Perform fish salvage.

3. Construct temporary access road.

4. Excavate to subgrade.

5. Secure base logs with vertical pilings.

6. Place subsequent layers of logs and alluvial backfill material, intertwining logs to develop a complex structure. Place live stakes within face of structure during installation. Install vegetated riprap.

7. Place racking material at the front of the structure.

8. “Beaver cut” the vertical piling ends to provide a natural appearance flush with or beneath backfill.

9. Remove worksite isolation measures.

10. Install live plants within vegetated riprap area.

Business days and hours for the project to be determined by the contractor in accordance with all requirements.

SECTION 3: DOCUMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Endangered Species Protection

Eligibility Criterion Following the process outlined in Appendix D, under which criterion are you eligible for coverage under this permit?

☐ Criterion A: No ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat present in action area. Using the process outlined in Appendix D of the CGP, you certify that ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat(s) under the jurisdiction of the USFWS or NMFS are not likely to occur in your site’s “action area” as defined in Appendix A of the CGP.

Please Note: NMFS’ jurisdiction includes ESA-listed marine and estuarine species that spawn in inland rivers.

☐ Check to confirm you have provided documentation in your SWPPP as required by CGP Appendix D (Note: reliance on State resources is not acceptable; see CGP Appendix D).

Documentation: Not applicable.

Instructions (see CGP Parts 1.1.5, 7.2.9.a, Appendix D, and the “Endangered Species Protection” section of the Appendix H – NOI Form and Instructions as well as resources available at www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-cgp-threatened-and-endangered-species-eligibility):

Using the instructions in Appendix D of the permit, determine which criterion listed below (A-F) applies with respect to the protection of endangered species. To make this determination, you must use information from BOTH the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Both the NMFS and USFWS maintain lists of Endangered Species Act-listed (ESA-listed) species and designated critical habitat. Operators must consult both when determining their eligibility.

― Check only 1 box, include the required information, and provide a sound basis for supporting the criterion selected. Select the most conservative criterion that applies.

― Include documentation supporting your determination of eligibility required in the

Endangered Species Protection section of the NOI in NeT or the ESA worksheet in CGP Appendix D.

https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2022-01/2022-cgp-final-appendix-d-endangered-species-protection.pdf

Eligibility Criterion Following the process outlined in Appendix D, under which criterion are you eligible for coverage under this permit?

☐ Criterion B: Eligibility requirements met by another operator under the 2022 CGP. The construction site’s discharges and discharge-related activities were already addressed in another operator’s valid certification of eligibility for your “action area” under eligibility Criterion A, C, D, E, or F of the 2022 CGP and you have confirmed that no additional ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat under the jurisdiction of USFWS and/or NMFS not considered in the that certification may be present or located in the “action area.” To certify your eligibility under this criterion, there must be no lapse of NPDES permit coverage in the other CGP operator’s certification. By certifying eligibility under this criterion, you agree to comply with any conditions upon which the other CGP operator's certification was based. You must include in your NOI the NPDES ID from the other 2022 CGP operator’s notification of authorization under this permit and list any measures that you must comply with. If your certification is based on another 2022 CGP operator’s certification under criterion C, you must provide EPA with the relevant supporting information required of existing dischargers in Criterion C.

☐ Check to confirm you have provided documentation in your SWPPP as required by CGP Appendix D.

☐ Criterion C: Discharges not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat(s) under the jurisdiction of the USFWS and/or NMFS are likely to occur in or near your site’s “action area,” and you certify to EPA that your site’s discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed threatened or endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. This certification may include consideration of any stormwater controls and/or management practices you will adopt to ensure that your discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. To certify your eligibility under this criterion, indicate 1) the ESA-listed species and/or designated habitat located in your “action area” using the process outlined in Appendix D of this permit; 2) the distance between the site and the listed species and/or designated critical habitat in the action area (in miles); and 3) a rationale describing specifically how short- or long-term adverse effects to ESA-listed species will be avoided from the discharges and discharge-related activities. (Note: You must include a copy of your site map from your SWPPP showing the upland and in-water extent of your “action area” with your NOI.)

Eligibility Criterion Following the process outlined in Appendix D, under which criterion are you eligible for coverage under this permit?

☐ Criterion D: Coordination with USFWS and/or NMFS has successfully concluded.

Coordination between you and the USFWS and/or NMFS has concluded. The coordination must have addressed the effects of your site’s discharges and discharge-related activities on ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat under the jurisdiction of USFWS and/or NMFS, and resulted in a written confirmation from USFWS and/or NMFS that the effects of your site’s discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to result in any short- or long-term adverse effects. By certifying eligibility under this criterion, you agree to comply with any conditions you must meet for your site’s discharges and discharge-related activities to not likely result in any short- or long-term adverse effects. You must include copies of the correspondence with the participating agencies in your SWPPP and this NOI.

Eligibility Criterion Following the process outlined in Appendix D, under which criterion are you eligible for coverage under this permit?

☒ Criterion E: ESA Section 7 consultation has successfully concluded. Consultation between a Federal agency and the USFWS and/or NMFS under section 7 of the ESA has concluded. Consultations can be either formal or informal, and would have occurred only as a result of a separate Federal action (e.g., during application for an individual wastewater discharge permit or the issuance of a wetlands dredge and fill permit), and the consultation must have addressed the effects of your construction activity’s discharges and discharge-related activities on all ESA-listed threatened or endangered species and all designated critical habitat under the jurisdiction of each Service, as appropriate, in your action area. The result of this consultation must be either:

i. A biological opinion currently in effect that determined that the action in question (taking into account the effects of your facility’s discharges and discharge-related activities) is likely to adversely affect, but is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. The biological opinion must have included the effects of your facility’s discharges and discharge-related activities on all the listed species and designated critical habitat in your action area under the jurisdiction of each Service, as appropriate. To be eligible under (i), any reasonable and prudent measures specified in the incidental take statement must be implemented;

ii. Written concurrence (e.g., letter of concurrence) from the applicable Service(s) with a determination that your facility’s discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to adversely affect ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat. The concurrence letter must have included the effects of your facility’s discharges and discharge-related activities on all the ESA-listed species and/or designated critical habitat on your species list(s) acquired from USFWS and/or NMFS as part of this worksheet.

The consultation does not warrant reinitiation under 50 CFR §402.16; or, if reinitiation of consultation is required (e.g., due to a new species listing, critical habitat designation, or new information), the Federal action agency has reinitiated the consultation and the result of the consultation is consistent with the statements above. (Note: you must include any reinitiation documentation from the Services or consulting Federal agency with your

NOI.) -

☒ Check to confirm you have provided documentation in your SWPPP as required by

Documentation: Tab 16 – Endangered Species Act Documentation includes the signed biological opinion issued by USFWS which covers the marbled murrelet and northern spotted owl. Consultation with NMFS was not required because the project does not have potential to affect listed species under NMFS jurisdiction.

Eligibility Criterion Following the process outlined in Appendix D, under which criterion are you eligible for coverage under this permit?

☐ Criterion F: Issuance of section 10 permit. Potential take is authorized through the issuance of a permit under section 10 of the ESA by the USFWS and/or NMFS, and this authorization addresses the effects of the site’s discharges and discharge-related activities on ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat. You must include copies of the correspondence between yourself and the participating agencies in your SWPPP and your NOI.
