Other Permits May Be Required:

Construction activities within the City of Eugene are required to obtain an individual commercial erosion prevention permit when:

1. The area of disturbance is greater than 500 square feet of land at any one time and the project is located within a sensitive area as defined by RD-6.645-E-1.

2. The project results in the excavation and/or import of more than 5,000 cubic feet (185 cubic yards) of soil/material.

3. The project disturbs one acre or more.

4. Constructing new infrastructure or facilities and meets any of the above requirements.

• For projects over one acre of soil disturbance, and being constructed by a public agency, on agency-controlled land (including City of Eugene rights-of-way), plans must be submitted directly to the DEQ for a 1200CA permit through DEQ’s online permit portal, Your DEQ Online (YDO). In addition to DEQ 1200CA permit coverage, a separate City of Eugene Commercial Erosion Permit application must be obtained to ensure compliance with City of Eugene erosion program requirements.

• A DEQ 1200-CN Construction Stormwater General permit packet is issued along with the City Commercial Erosion Prevention Permit for sites greater than one acre but less than five, and that are being constructed by a private entity on non-agency-controlled land.

• For private construction projects disturbing five or more acres, a City (agent) issued DEQ 1200-C Construction Stormwater Permit is required.

• For projects with over one acre of disturbance, an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must be prepared by a certified professional.

• Individual commercial erosion permits require additional review time, and an on-site pre-construction meeting with a City Erosion Prevention Specialist, as well as additional permit fees.

Permit Holder Requirements:

Measures necessary to meet the outcomes of the program per R-6.645-D of the Administrative Order will be required on all projects covered by the Annual Erosion Prevention Permit. Authorized project work varies in size and location but is generally approached as outlined below.

General Requirements for all projects:

• Prior to the start of construction activity, all work sites will be inspected by the applicant to anticipate impacts the project might have on stormwater quality.

• Prior to starting any ground disturbing activity, the applicant shall determine and install the appropriate erosion prevention and sediment control measures necessary to prevent impacts to the public stormwater system, related natural resources, adjacent properties, and the public Right-of-Way.

o The erosion control measures will be used to ensure that sediment and sediment-laden water do not leave the project site or violate applicable water quality standards.

• At a minimum, the following measures shall be installed at all construction sites covered under the Annual Erosion Prevention Permit:

o Stormwater inlet protection shall be installed prior to beginning any construction work.

▪ Inlet protection devices shall have overflow capability and be maintained in good repair during the entire project.

▪ Inlet protection is to be removed only after the construction site has been permanently stabilized.

o Concrete saw cutting and concrete pouring will occur in a manner such that no concrete washout, saw-cutting slurry or other cementitious material is allowed to enter the public stormwater system, natural resources or adjacent properties. All residual (wet or dry) concrete and cementitious material shall be swept up from street, sidewalks, etc.

following finishing work.

▪ Concrete wash-out facilities shall be utilized at every pour site to contain all washout water and all waste materials should be disposed of properly off-site.

▪ Extra care must be taken if pouring concrete during/just prior to forecasted rain events. Fresh/green concrete must not come in contact with stormwater -generally within 18 hours of pouring.

o Protect exposed soils and stockpiles from precipitation and provide temporary and permanent stabilization to exposed soils at end of day and end of project.

o A supply of materials necessary to meet the outcomes and implement the construction site management plan or other best management erosion control practices under all weather conditions shall be available on site.

Additional measures may be required during construction as the site changes, and for unexpected storm events to ensure that sediment and sediment-laden water do not leave the construction site.

• During the official Wet Weather Season (October 15 – April 30th) additional requirements apply.

See “Wet Weather Requirements” below.

• The applicant is responsible for removing all structural measures deployed at the project site, following permanent stabilization.

• All construction within the public Right-of-Way shall conform to the City of Eugene Standard Specifications, as amended.

• Hazardous substances, such as paints, thinners, fuel, oil and other chemicals shall not be released onto the site, adjacent properties, or into water features, the City’s stormwater system, or related natural resources.

▪ Hazardous materials spill kits should be kept on every project site to manage and contain any fluid spills.

• No discharge is permitted into the City’s stormwater system or related natural resources of construction-related contaminants resulting from activities such as, but not limited to, concrete sawing, cleaning, or washing of equipment, tools, or vehicles.

• The applicant shall remove any sediment, gravel mud and/or debris associated with their construction activities that have accumulated on the street, in catch basin sumps and/or storm drain lines, by the end of the workday. If construction is occurring during the wet-weather season (October 15 – April 30), removal must be done immediately.

• Construction debris and garbage will be disposed of properly at the end of every workday.

• All streets, sidewalks and bike paths in the work area shall be swept clean of soil, gravel and other debris at the end of each workday.

• Finally, the applicant shall conduct one annual erosion prevention training for field staff on the requirements of the Annual Erosion Prevention Permit. City Erosion Prevention staff are available to assist with this free training if requested.

Wet Weather Season Requirements (October 15 to April 30):

During wet weather season additional BMPs shall be installed to ensure that all outcomes are being met.

• Temporary stabilization measures are required to ensure that sediment and sediment-laden water do not enter roadways, drainage systems, storm systems, or rivers, in violation of applicable water quality standards. All exposed soils and stockpiles must be covered at the end of shift every day.

• All sediment and debris in the public right-of-way shall be cleaned-up/swept immediately and not left to be tracked or washed into the city stormwater system.

• Permanent stabilization of all exposed soils during the wet weather period shall occur within 24 hours of final grade.

City of Eugene | Public Works | Engineering | Erosion Prevention | 99 West 10th Avenue | Eugene, OR 97401

Page | 4

Temporary Stabilization Requirements:

• All exposed soils and slopes shall be covered a minimum of one day before expected rain events (e.g. a 30% or greater chance or precipitation in the next 24 hours).

• During wet weather season, exposed soils shall be stabilized at the end of each workday.

• Temporarily stabilize exposed soils and slopes in active work areas every 14 days, or more frequently if needed or directed.

• Temporary stabilization measures for unfinished earthwork scheduled for re-disturbance at a later date include, but are not limited to:

o Straw mulch, compost mulch, plastic sheeting, matting, chemical soil stabilization, etc.

o If using seeding for temporary stabilization, vegetation must achieve 70% or greater ground surface coverage with live plants.

Permanent Stabilization Requirements:

• Incorporate permanent erosion control features into the project site at the earliest practical time.

Immediately perform permanent stabilization at each completed excavation and embankment area upon reaching finish grade within 14 days of reaching finished grade. Final stabilization methods include, but are not limited to:

o Seeded mulch: Sites with exposed soil or slopes less than 1v:3h – Apply seeded organic/compost mulch per standard specifications 280.44(f) o Seeded mulch and matting. Sites with slopes steeper than 1v:3h – Apply seed and mulch then apply a biodegradable fabric matting to slope in accordance to manufacture specifications or refer to RD1055 – Matting and Sub-Sec.280.42(c) of the Standard Specifications.

o Compost or bark mulch

• Remove all temporary erosion prevention and sediment control measures. Sweep up and properly dispose of accumulated silt and sediment.

• Clean-out any stormwater catch-basins impacted by the construction activities (e.g. use a vactor truck to clean the sump and associated storm drain lines).

• Sweep or vacuum all sidewalks, bike paths and streets to remove all gravel, soil and other construction materials from the hard surface.

Dewatering Requirements:

Extracted groundwater from excavated areas and building foundations is a major source of sediment-laden water impacts to the city’s stormwater system.

• All sediment laden water must be treated to remove all sediment and tested to ensure that the discharge meets DEQ discharge requirements before being discharged to the public stormwater system, open drainage ditch, stream, ditches or wetlands.

• Active treatment dewatering systems using flocculent must be reviewed and approved by City of Eugene Erosion Prevention Program staff prior to operation.

o If the extracted water cannot be filtered/treated to meet DEQ discharge requirements, the water must either be “land-applied” or hauled off-site to a suitable disposal site.

o Land application must be to a vegetated area large enough to allow infiltration and/or filtering of the sediment laden water so that no sediment-laden water leaves the site or enters the city’s stormwater system.

o The property owner’s permission must be obtained prior to land-application of the extracted water.

• Dewatering ‘filter bags’ are effective at removing coarse material and strongly encouraged to be one of the treatment measures available at every construction site where dewatering is anticipated.

• If the permit holder encounters groundwater that is suspected to contain contaminants other than sediment, they should notify the City and contact the local DEQ office to determine disposal options. Only with DEQ authorization can this water be discharged to the stormwater system or surface waters of the State.
