CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES - EROSION AND SEDIMENT POLLUTION CONTROL

Provision Body:

I. Observe the applicable following procedures during the entire period of construction as directed:

(a) Conduct all operations as specified in the erosion and sediment pollution control plan and in such a manner to minimize turbidity in streams. Do not discharge water containing sediments or pollutants into the streams.

(b) Direct flowing water away from project construction areas.

(c) Limit movement of equipment through the streambed in accordance with the approved plan so as to prevent unnecessary siltation or disturbance. Permit equipment to cross flowing channels only on rock roadways and/or bridges to prevent constant turbulency and siltation.

Construct rock crossings, causeways or cofferdams with rock having a minimum size of 75 mm (3 inches) or larger as directed; also, the surface may be choked with stone aggregate having a minimum size of 9.5 mm (3/8-inch). Do not use earth or other materials which may cause sedimentation, for any crossings, causeways or cofferdams.

(d) Seed and/or stabilize all stream banks immediately upon completion of grading.

(e) Seed all cut and fill slopes when they have reached a vertical height of 4.5 m (15 feet). On areas where permanent seeding will not be performed within a period of 20 days after the excavation or embankment operations have been completed place temporary seeding (annual Ryegrass) and mulching on all soil areas.

(f) Control the entire grading area at all times during construction by placing the erosion and sediment pollution control devices that can be installed prior to disturbing the earth and the stabilization devices as soon as the required earthwork has been performed.

(g) For any excavation material stockpiled more than 20 days, take interim stabilization measures to minimize erosion of the stockpile slopes.

(h) Clean the sedimentation structures during construction as specified in Section 861. Dispose of silt fencing and sediment removed from the project, as directed.

(i) Separate all water originating outside of the project from that originating within.

(j) During the life of the contract, be responsible for the maintenance of all erosion and sediment pollution control devices.

Section 107.28 EROSION AND SEDIMENT POLLUTION CONTROL PLANS AND PERMITS. Revise to read as follows:

107.28 EROSION AND SEDIMENT POLLUTION CONTROL PLANS AND PERMITS—Install and maintain erosion and sediment (E&S) pollution control devices as indicated or submit an alternate plan for accomplishing equal or better temporary and permanent erosion and water pollution control. If an alternate plan is submitted, do not start work until the plan is approved by the County Conservation District and the Department. If a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is involved, do not start work until the plan is approved by the DEP or the authorized County Conservation District and the Department. Concrete clean out areas, either contractor designed or indicated within the contract documents, are incidental to the contract items.

When a general or individual NPDES Permit is involved:

At the preconstruction conference, submit a Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency (PPC) Plan and identify a licensed professional (Professional Engineer, Geologist, Land Surveyor or Landscape Architect) registered in the Commonwealth and if applicable, their designee to be present onsite and responsible for implementing critical stages of the

Within 14 days of completing the construction of a stormwater control measure (SCM) as determined by the licensed professional or designee, submit a completed Chapter 102 SCM Construction Certification Form for each SCM to the Representative through PPCC. Form CS-102 has information required to complete the Chapter 102 Form(s). Ensure the General Project and SCM Information, Construction Information, and Licensed Professional Certification sections are completed by the identified licensed professional responsible for overseeing the critical stages of the approved PCSM plan.

Prepare an as-built (record) PCSM Plan to be sealed and signed by the identified licensed professional registered in the Commonwealth. All construction survey, plan preparation, and engineering required for the as-built (record) PCSM Plan will be incidental to the contract items. The as-built (record) PCSM Plan must accurately reflect deviations from the approved PCSM Plan including, but not limited to, plan locations, dimensions, inverts/elevations, materials used and grading. Update the as-built (record) PCSM Plan as construction of the project’s PCSM features progresses. Have the identified licensed professional immediately notify the Representative of all deviations from the approved PCSM Plan. Deviations to the approved PCSM Plan must be submitted for approval. Assist with the determination and documentation if the as-built deviations require a permit amendment or if the PCSM features must be removed and replaced as indicated on the PCSM Plan.

Assist the Representative in performing visual site inspections weekly and after each precipitation event greater than 0.25 inches to ensure the project's E&S Best Management Practices (BMPs) are functioning properly. Immediately initiate corrective actions, at no additional cost to the Department, upon notification by the Representative of noncompliance with the provisions of this section that the Representative has determined requires immediate corrective action under Department policies. For all other notifications of noncompliance, initiate corrective actions within 24 hours. Failure or refusal to promptly comply with such notice upon receipt may, at the Department’s sole discretion, result in: the withholding payment of estimates for work completed until the requirements of the E&S Plan are met, assessment of E&S noncompliance liquidated damages as specified in Section 108.07(d) or issuance of a written order stopping all or part of the work until the corrective action has been taken and the requirements of the E&S Plan are met.

For subsurface PCSM SCMs (e.g., infiltration trench), the infiltration surface is the bottom elevation before placing stone or other

September 2, 2026 13:36:57 PM Page 19 of 79 media. All contributing drainage areas to the PCSM SCM must receive permanent stabilization or otherwise adequately protected, as determined by the identified licensed professional, before exposing the infiltration surface. Conduct tests:

Within 4 days of completing grading to the final elevation of the infiltration surface, unless delayed by weather, in which case testing must be conducted at the earliest practicable time when weather conditions are satisfactory.

No sooner than 24 hours after rainfall exceeding 0.5 inches in a 24-hour period. Do not perform a test until the infiltration surface is free of standing water.

Acceptable infiltration test methods are as follows:

Double ring infiltrometer. Perform tests according to either:

Protocol 1 (Methodology for Double-Ring Infiltrometer Field Test) in Appendix C of the Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual, as amended; or

ASTM D3385 (Standard Test Method for Infiltration Rate of Soils in Field Using Double-Ring Infiltrometer).
