About this file
This is a Draft Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the SHR Aviation Flight Line Pavement Replacement Project, prepared for the San Bernardino International Airport Authority and the San Bernardino County Project and Facilities Management Department. The project encompasses approximately 1,330 acres at 199 Hangar Way in San Bernardino, California, with 5.53 acres of anticipated ground disturbance. The project involves demolition and reconstruction of flight line pavement through three sequential phases, with grading activities covering approximately 241,000 square feet and an estimated 6,069 cubic yards of material removal. Construction is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2026, and conclude on October 31, 2026. The site is classified as Risk Level 1 based on sediment and receiving water risk determinations, with discharge directed to the Santa Ana River. The SWPPP was prepared by Huitt-Zollars, Inc., with Kevin C. Carter, PE serving as the Qualified SWPPP Developer and is dated March 2026.
The plan details comprehensive stormwater management requirements in compliance with California's General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities (2022 CGP, Order No. 2022-0057-DWQ). Best Management Practices include erosion control measures such as scheduling, wind erosion control, and non-vegetated stabilization; sediment controls including fiber rolls, street sweeping, and storm drain inlet protection; tracking controls via stabilized construction entrances and tire wash stations; and materials and waste management protocols addressing vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling and maintenance, concrete operations, and hazardous waste handling. The site requires visual BMP inspections weekly, daily tracking control inspections, qualifying precipitation event-triggered inspections, and quarterly non-stormwater discharge observations. Monitoring locations include two drainage areas on the north and south sides of the project, with discharge to existing underground infiltration systems and a proposed ADS infiltration system. The plan establishes post-construction stormwater management measures and requires final stabilization using the 70 percent final cover method supported by pre- and post-project photographs before Notice of Termination submission.

Section 2 Project Information
2.1 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1.1 Site Description
The SHR Aviation Flight Line Pavement Replacement Project site is Risk Level 1 that comprises approximately 1,330 acres and is located at 199 Hangar Way, situated in the northern portion of the San Bernadino International Airport, in San Bernadino, California. The project site is located approximately 1,200 feet south of East 3rd Street, and 2,500 feet north of the Santa Ana River. The project is located at a latitude of 34.102140 and a longitude of -117.228538 and is identified on the Erosion Control Plan in Appendix A.
2.1.2 Existing Conditions
As of the initial date of this SWPPP, the project site is fully developed, consisting of a single-story maintenance hangar, administration building, asphalt paved parking/flightline areas, and multiple helicopter landing pads. The project site was previously developed with the San Bernadino County Sherrif’s Department’s Emergency Operations Division. There are no known historic sources of contamination at the site. Soil sampling and analysis is required when soil contamination is found or suspected. The results of this analysis are on Appendix Q.
2.1.3 Existing Drainage
The project site slopes to the West with a central horizontal ridgeline that diverts a northern and southern slope. The elevation of the project site ranges from 1135 feet to 1140 feet above mean sea level (msl). Surface drainage at the site is split by a ridgeline and currently flows northwest toward the adjacent property and is conveyed through Eastgate Building I’s underground filtration system, and southwest onto an existing taxiway and is conveyed into an existing drainage swale. Existing site topography, drainage patterns, and stormwater conveyance systems are shown on the Erosion Control Plan in Appendix A.
The project discharges to the Santa Ana River. The water quality impairments (303 (d) list and TMDLs identified in the 2022 CGP Table H-1 for the receiving waters are identified in the Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Applicable 303(d) List Impairments and TMDLs
Receiving Water Water Quality Impairment
303(d) list TMDL (2022 CGP Table H-1)
[Additional compliance actions applicable to the project are discussed in more detail in Section 7.7.]
2.1.4 Geology and Groundwater
Based on field investigation report, number W1755-99-07 by geotechnical consultant, all the borings encountered alluvium deposits either unconsolidated or semi-consolidated, generally of
SHR Aviation Flight Line Pavement Replacement 2-2 March 2026 dry brown silt and poorly graded sand, extending through depths of 20 ½ feet below the existing site grades. Groundwater occurs beneath the site at approximately 66 feet below ground surface, and the closest ground water information was found 0.3 miles north of the site.
2.1.5 Project Description
Project grading will occur on approximately 241,000 square feet of the project, which comprises approximately 0.004% percent of the San Bernadino International Airport. The limits of grading are shown on the Erosion Control Plan in Appendix A. Grading will include cut activities, with the total graded material estimated to be 6,069 cubic yards. Zero cubic yards of fill material will be imported during grading activities. Actions regarding the disposal of graded materials are to be determined. Construction activities will be phased sequentially as follows: Phase 1 & 1A, Phase 2 & 2B, and Phase 3. Phases 1, 2 and 3 primarily consist of the demolition and reconstruction of the total project area, and phases 1A and 2B consist of pavement marking and actions needed to resume normal site operation.
2.1.6 Developed Condition
Post-construction surface drainage will be directed to the north and southwest as surface flow through stormwater conveyance systems and will discharge into northern catch basins and southern trench drains, which will flow to respective underground collection and treatment systems.
Post-construction drainage patterns and conveyance systems are presented on the Erosion Control Plan in Appendix A.

Risk Level 1 sites are subject to the narrative effluent limitations specified in the 2022 CGP, and may be subject to numeric effluent limits for applicable TMDLs, dewatering activities, active treatment systems and passive treatment systems used on site. The narrative effluent limitations require stormwater discharges associated with construction activity to minimize or prevent pollutants in stormwater and authorized non-stormwater through the use of controls, structures, and best management practices (BMPs). This SWPPP has been prepared to address Risk Level 1 requirements (2022 CGP Attachment D).
2.5 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
The site sediment risk was determined based on construction taking place between May 1, 2026, and October 31, 2026. Modification or extension of the schedule (start and end dates) may affect risk determination and permit requirements. The LRP shall contact the QSD if the schedule changes during construction to address potential impact to the SWPPP. The estimated schedule for planned work can be found in Appendix E.
SHR Aviation Flight Line Pavement Replacement 2-6 March 2026
2.6 POTENTIAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY AND POLLUTANT
SOURCES
Appendix F includes a list of construction activities and associated materials that are anticipated to be used onsite as well as the pollutant source assessment form that was completed for the project. These activities and associated materials will or could potentially contribute pollutants, other than sediment, to stormwater runoff.
The anticipated activities and associated pollutants were used in Section 3 to select the BMPs for the project. Locations of anticipated pollutants and associated BMPs are shown on the Site Map in Appendix A.
Additionally, proper measures will be taken to ensure that trench spoils or any other soils disturbed during construction activities that are contaminated are not discharged with stormwater or non-stormwater discharges into storm drains or water bodies (except pursuant to a separate NPDES Permit). If contaminated soils are found on site, and the responsible party cannot be identified or fails to take action, soils will be sampled to determine proper handling and protect public safety. The appropriate local, State, and federal agencies along with the appropriate Regional Water Board will be notified when contaminated soils are observed.
For sampling requirements for non-visible pollutants associated with construction activity, please refer to Section 7.7.1. For a full and complete list of onsite pollutants, refer to the Safety Data Sheets (SDS), which are retained onsite at the construction trailer or are available electronically at the site.
2.7 TMDL REQUIREMENTS
Based on the project’s receiving water and the pollutant source assessment, the following TMDLs are applicable to the project (See 2022 CGP Attachment H).

3.2 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Erosion and sediment controls are required by the 2022 CGP to provide effective reduction or elimination of sediment related pollutants in stormwater discharges and authorized non-stormwater discharges from the Site. Applicable BMPs are identified in this section for erosion control, sediment control, tracking control, and wind erosion control.
3.2.1 Erosion Control
Erosion control, also referred to as soil stabilization, consists of source control measures that are designed to prevent soil particles from detaching and becoming transported in stormwater runoff. Erosion control BMPs protect the soil surface by covering and/or binding soil particles.
This construction project will implement the following practices to provide effective temporary and final erosion control during construction:
1. Preserve existing vegetation where required and when feasible.
2. The area of soil disturbing operations shall be controlled such that the Contractor is able to implement erosion control BMPs quickly and effectively.
3. Stabilize non-active areas within 14 days of cessation of construction activities or sooner if stipulated by local requirements.
4. Control erosion in concentrated flow paths by applying erosion control blankets, check dams, erosion control seeding, or alternate methods.
5. Prior to the completion of construction, apply permanent erosion control to remaining disturbed soil areas.
Sufficient erosion control materials shall be maintained onsite to allow implementation in conformance with this SWPPP.
The following erosion control BMP selection table, Table 3-2 indicates the BMPs that will be implemented to control erosion on the construction site. Fact Sheets for temporary erosion control BMPs are provided in Appendix G.
These temporary erosion control BMPs shall be implemented in conformance with the following guidelines and as outlined in the BMP Factsheets provided in Appendix G. If there is a conflict between documents, the Site Map will prevail over narrative in the body of the SWPPP or guidance in the BMP Fact Sheets. Site specific details in the Site Map prevail over standard details included in the Site Map. The narrative in the body of the SWPPP prevails over guidance in the BMP Fact Sheets.
