3.1 SWPPP PREPARATION, APPROVAL AND UPDATES

A. As part of the water pollution control work, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, hereafter referred to as the “SWPPP,” is required for this contract. The SWPPP shall conform to the provisions in Section 7- 1.01G, “Water Pollution,” of the CalTrans Standard Specifications, the requirements in the Manuals, the requirements of the Permit, and these special provisions. If required, the SWPPP shall be submitted to the RWQCB with a Notice of Intent. Upon the RWQCB approval and the Forest Service approval of the SWPPP, the SWPPP shall be considered to fulfill the provisions in Section 7-1.01G, “Water Pollution,” of the CalTrans Standard Specifications for development and submittal of a Water Pollution Control Program.

B. No work having potential to cause water pollution, as determined by the Forest Service or RWQCB, shall be performed until the Forest Service and RWQCB has approved the SWPPP.

C. The Contractor shall designate a Water Pollution Control Manager. The Water Pollution Control Manager shall be responsible for the preparation of the SWPPP and any required modifications or amendments and

STORM WATER POLLUTION CONTROL Section 01 57 24-4 shall be responsible for the implementation and adequate functioning of the various water pollution control practices employed. The Water Pollution Control Manager shall serve as the primary contact for all issues related to the SWPPP or its implementation, monitoring and maintenance. The Contractor shall submit to the Forest Service a statement of qualifications, describing the training, previous work history and expertise of the individual selected by the Contractor to serve as Water Pollution Control Manager.

Identify all pollutant sources including sources of sediment that may affect the quality of storm water discharges associated with construction activity (storm water discharges) from the construction site, and

Identify non-storm water discharges, and

Identify, construct and implement in accordance with a time schedule, and maintain BMPs to reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water discharges from the site during the duration of the work.

Develop a maintenance schedule for BMPs installed before and during construction designed to reduce or eliminate pollutants after construction is completed (post-construction BMPs).

The SWPPP shall apply to all areas that are directly related to construction activities and other site work including, but not limited to, staging areas, storage yards, and access roads within or outside of the Project limits.

F. As a minimum, the SWPPP shall incorporate pollution control practices in the following categories:
