Amendments shall show additional water pollution control practices or revised operations, including those areas or operations not shown in the initially approved SWPPP. Amendments to the SWPPP shall be prepared and submitted for review and approval in the same manner as specified for the SWPPP approval. Subsequent amendments shall be submitted within a time approved by the Forest Service, but in no case longer than the time specified for the initial submittal and review of the SWPPP. At a minimum, the SWPPP shall be amended annually and submitted to the Forest Service 25 days prior to the defined rainy season.

N. The Contractor shall keep one copy of the approved SWPPP and approved amendments at the project site. The SWPPP shall be made available upon request of a representative of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Water Resources Control Board, United States Environmental Protection Agency or the local storm water management agency. Requests by the public shall be directed to the Forest Service.

3.2 SWPPP IMPLEMENTATION

A. Upon approval of the SWPPP, the Contractor shall be responsible throughout the duration of the project for sampling and analysis (if required), installing, constructing, inspecting, maintaining, removing and disposing of the water pollution control practices included in the SWPPP and any amendments.

Implementation of the SWPPP begins when construction begins, and before initial clearing, grubbing, and grading operations. Unless otherwise directed by the Forest Service, the Contractor’s responsibility for SWPPP implementation shall continue throughout any temporary suspension of work ordered.

B. If the Contractor or the Forest Service identifies a deficiency in any aspect of the implementation of the approved SWPPP or amendments, the deficiency shall be corrected immediately. The deficiency may be corrected at a later date and time, if requested by the Contractor, and approved by the Forest Service in writing, but not later than the onset of the precipitation. If the Contractor fails to correct the identified deficiency by the date agreed or prior to the onset of precipitation the project shall be in noncompliance.

C. If the Contractor fails to conform to the provisions of “Water Pollution Control,” the Contracting Officer may order the suspension of construction operations, which create water pollution.

D. Implementation of water pollution control practices may vary by season. The Construction Site BMP

Reference Manual and these special provisions shall be followed for control practice selection of year round, rainy season and non-rainy season water pollution control practices.

E. YEAR- ROUND IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

STORMWATER POLLUTION CONTROL Section 01 57 24-7

1. The Contractor shall conduct sampling and analysis (if required), and have a year-round program for implementing, inspecting and maintaining water pollution control practices for soil stabilization, wind erosion control, tracking control, sediment control, non-storm water control, waste management and materials pollution control.

2. As part of the SWPPP, the Contractor’s shall have a “weather triggered” action plan and have the ability to deploy standby BMPs as needed to completely protect the exposed portion of the project site within 48 hours of a predicted storm event.

3. The National Weather Service weather forecast shall be monitored and used by the Contractor on a daily basis. An alternative weather forecast proposed by the Contractor may be used if approved by the Forest Service. If precipitation is predicted, the necessary water pollution control practices shall be developed prior to the onset of the precipitation.

4. A minimum of 100% of the material needed to install weather triggered BMPs necessary to completely protect the exposed portions of the site from erosion, and to prevent sediment discharges, must be stored on site. Areas that have already been protected from erosion using physical stabilization or established vegetation stabilization BMPs as determined by the Contracting Officer, are not considered to be “exposed” for purposes of this requirement.

5. Disturbed soil areas shall be considered active whenever the soil disturbing activities have occurred, continues to occur or will occur during the ensuing 21 days. Non-active areas shall be protected as prescribed in the Construction Site BMP Manual within 14 days of cessation of soil disturbing activities or prior to the onset of precipitation, whichever occurs first.

6. In order to provide effective erosion control the Contractor may be requested to apply permanent erosion control in small or multiple units as disturbed soil areas are deemed substantially complete by the Forest Service.

7. The Contractor shall implement, maintain, and inspect the following temporary sediment control practices on a year-round basis, as conditions warrant. The listed practices shall remain in place until their use is no longer needed, as determined by the Forest Service.

8. The active disturbed soil area of the project site shall be not more than 1 acre. The Contracting Officer may approve, on a case-by-case basis, expansions of the active disturbed soil area limit. Soil stabilization and sediment control materials shall be maintained on site sufficient to protect the unprotected disturbed soil area.
