C. Fees

4.3.1.1 Construction Activities - Storm Water Discharge Permit Compliance. The contractor shall provide a copy of the final NOI package to the Civil Engineer Squadron Natural Resources Management Element (341 CES/CEANQ) at least 10 business days prior to construction start date. The contractor shall perform the following in accordance with the permit:

A. The SWPPP shall be maintained on the construction site.

B. During construction the contractor shall perform inspections as outlined in Part III of the General Permit, record all SWPPP changes, modifications, and updates in logbooks or as notations on the documents cited in Section 4.3.1 (B).

C When the contactor determines that the site has achieved final stabilization the contractor will prepare and submit a Notice of Termination to 341 CES/CEANQ for review prior to submittal to MDEQ. 341 CES/CEANQ will inspect the site and determine if final stabilization has been achieved. MAFB defines final stabilization as:

the time at which all soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed, and a vegetative cover has been established with a density of at least 70 percent. This minimum percentage cover is required regardless of the pre-disturbance coverage.

The Notice of Termination shall not be submitted to MDEQ until 341 CES/CEANQ concurs that final stabilization was achieved.

4.3.1.2 The contractor should reference the Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s website:http://www.deq.state.mt.us/wqinfo/mpDES/stormwaterconstruction.asp for Notice of Intent Forms, instructions, SWPPP information, and other guidelines for complying with Montana storm water requirements.
