6.1 Endangered Species Protection

Under which criterion is project eligible for Endangered Species coverage under the NPDES permit (EPA)?

DA DB De On ~E

Criterion A.

Criterion B.

Criterion C

Criterion D.

No federally-listed threatened or endangered species or their designated critical habitat(s) are likely to occur in your site's "action area" as defined in Appendix A of EPA permit.

The construction site's discharges and discharge-related activities were already addressed in another operator's valid certification of eligibility for your action area under eligibility Criterion A, C, D, E, or F and there is no reason to believe that federally-listed species or federally-designated critical habitat not considered in the prior certification may be present or located in the "action area". To certify your eligibility under this Criterion, there must be no lapse ofNPDES permit coverage in the other operator's certification.

By certifying eligibility under this Criterion, you agree to comply with any effluent limitations or conditions upon which the other operator's certification was based. You must include in your NOI the tracking number from the other operator's notification of authorization under this permit. If your certification is based on another operator's certification under Criterion C, you must provide EPA with the relevant supporting information required of existing dischargers in Criterion C in the EPA NOI form.

Federally-listed threatened or endangered species or their designated critical habitat(s) are likely to occur in or near your site's "action area," and your site's discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to adversely affect listed threatened or endangered species or critical habitat. This determination may include consideration of any stormwater controls and/or management practices you will adopt to ensure that your discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to adversely affect listed species and critical habitat. To make this certification, you must include the following in your NOI: 1) any federally listed species and/or designated habitat located in your "action area"; and 2) the distance between your site and the listed species or designated critical habitat (in miles). You must also include a copy of your site map with the

NOL

Coordination between you and the Services has been concluded. The coordination must have addressed the effects of your site's discharges and discharge-related activities on federally-listed threatened or endangered species and federally-designated critical habitat, and must have resulted in a written concurrence from the relevant Service(s) that your site's discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to adversely affect listed species or critical habitat. You must include copies of the

[15]

Criterion E.

Criterion F.

correspondence between yourself and the Services in your SWPPP and

NOL

Consultation between a Federal Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the National Marine Fisheries Service under section 7 of the ESA has been concluded. The consultation must have addressed the effects of the construction site's discharges and discharge-related activities on federally-listed threatened or endangered species and federally designated critical habitat. The result of this consultation must be either:

i. a biological opinion that concludes that the action in question (taking into account the effects of your site's discharges and discharge-related activities) is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed species, nor the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat; or

n. written concurrence from the applicable Service(s) with a finding that the site's discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to adversely affect federally-listed species or federally-designated habitat.

You must include copies of the correspondence between yourself and the Services in your SWPPP and NOL

Your construction activities are authorized through the issuance of a permit under section 10 of the ESA, and this authorization addresses the effects of the site's discharges and discharge-related activities on federally listed species and federally-designated critical habitat. You must include copies of the correspondence between yourself and the Services in your SWPPP and NOL

Support Documentation for Endangered Species criterion eligibility is filed in TAB 16.

[17]

Control measures at the construction site are selected, installed, implemented, and maintained to minimize pollutants in the discharge as necessary to meet applicable water quality standards.

The objectives of this SWPPP include:

• Stabilize the site as soon as possible (targeting the preparation and implementation of erosion and sediment controls to get the site to final grade, and either permanently or temporarily stabilize all bare soil areas as soon as possible).

• Perimeter controls will be installed before ground disturbing activities are initiated.

• Perimeter protection will remain in place until final stabilization has been achieved.

• Slopes and channels will be protected by conveying concentrated stormwater runoff around the top of slopes and stabilize slopes as soon as possible. A void disturbing natural channels and the vegetation along natural channels as much as possible.

• Divert stormwater coming on to the site by conveying it safely around, through, or under the work area. (Divert the clean water, trap the dirty water.)

• Protect receiving waters and other environmentally sensitive waters or areas adjacent to the site.

• Follow pollution prevention measures by providing proper containers for waste and garbage at the site. Store hazardous materials and chemicals so that they are not exposed to stormwater.

• Minimize the area and duration of exposed soils. Clear only land that will be under construction in the near future.

7.l Natural Buffers or Equivalent Sediment Controls (Required for EPA CGP states only - ID, WA)

This section only applies if a surface water is located within 50 feet of the project's earth disturbing activities.

7.2 Perimeter Controls

All Perimeter Sediment Controls will be installed prior to ground disturbing activities taking place. There will be no clearing or grubbing outside the physical clearance limits.

Locations and design specifications of BMPs are shown on the erosion and sediment control plan sheets in TAB 6.

The following perimeter c~mtrols will be implemented:

Control measure: Silt Fence

Implementation: The silt fence shall be functional before other land disturbing activities take place. Silt fence should be functional throughout the duration of construction and for a long enough duration following construction to allow disturbed areas to stabilize following revegetation and seeding.

Maintenance requirements: Silt fences should be inspected periodically for damage (such as tearing by wind, animals, or equipment) and for the amount of sediment that has accumulated.

Remove the sediment when it reaches one-half the height of the silt fence. In situations where access is available, machinery can be used. Otherwise, the silt should be removed manually. The following are key elements to remember:

- The sediment deposits should be removed when heavy rain or high water is anticipated.

- The sediment deposits should be placed in an area where there is little danger of erosion.

- The silt fence should not be removed until adequate vegetative growth ensures no further erosion of the slopes. Generally, the fabric is cut at ground level, the wire and posts are removed, then the sediment is spread, seeded, and protected (mulched) immediately.

Control measure: Straw Wattle

Implementation: The Straw Wattles shall be functional before other land disturbing activities take place. Straw Wattles should be functional throughout the duration of construction and for a long enough duration following construction to allow disturbed areas to stabilize following revegetation and seeding.

Maintenance requirements: Remove sediment before it has accumulated to one-half of the above-ground height of the straw wattles. It is the Contractor's responsibility to upgrade erosion control measures as necessary if the sediment controls are ineffective and turbid water is observed discharging from the site.

Add other measures as needed.

7 .3 Sediment Track-Out

The following methods will be implemented to minimize off-site vehicle tracking of sediment onto paved surfaces. If sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment will be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impacts.

7.4 Stockpiled Soil or Other Erodible Materials

Stockpile management includes measures to minimize surface erosion and sediment transport from soil stockpiles or other erodible materials.

Locate erodible stockpiles away from drainages including storm sewer inlets and culvert inlets.

Locations of stockpiles are shown on the erosion and sediment control plan sheets in TAB 6.

D Not applicable to this project. Reason: Click here to enter text.

Control measure: Plastic sheets

Implementation: All the soil stockpiles or other erodible materials should be covered by plastic all the time.

Maintenance requirements: Contractor should check the plastic cover frequently to make sure the soil or other erodible material is covered all the time.

Control measure: Temporary construction access

Implementation: Temporary construction access will be installed at the beginning of construction and will provide access to and from the sites. Vehicle use will be restricted to designated construction entrances to minimize the tracking out of sediment.

Maintenance requirements: Where sediment has been tracked-out from the site onto the surface of off-site streets, other paved areas, and sidewalks, remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which the track-out occurs or by the end of the next work day if track-out occurs on a non-work day. Remove the track-out by sweeping, shoveling, or vacuuming these surfaces, or by using other similarly effective means of sediment removal. Hosing or sweeping tracked-out sediment into any stormwater conveyance (unless it is connected to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), storm drain inlet, or surface water is prohibited.

Add other measures as needed.

Minimize soil compaction in areas where final vegetative stabilization will occur and where infiltration practices will be installed.

D Not applicable to this project. Reason: Click here to enter text.

If applicable:

Control measure: heavy equipment and small repeated forces

Implementation: During construction, soil compaction should be minimized. This includes compaction by heavy equipment and small repeated forces such as persistent foot traffic.

Limiting on-site stockpiling of materials and parking also reduces soil compaction. Staging areas should be chosen carefully, located preferably in an area that is already designed to be a hard surface such as a driveway, patio, or plaza, and well away from important trees or sensitive areas. In some cases, it is possible to use existing roads or parking areas adjacent to the site for materials storage.

7.9 Storm Drain Inlets and Culvert Inlets

Applicable for stormwater drain inlets which are connected to separate storm sewer systems (usually in urban locations) AND for culvert inlets that discharge stormwater from the project into surface waters.

Locations and design specifications of BMPs are shown on the erosion and sediment control plan sheets in TAB 6.

D Not applicable to this project. Reason: Click here to enter text.

If applicable:

The following BMPs are applicable to:

IZI Storm Drain Inlets

IZI Culvert Inlets

Control measure: All existing culverts must be protected in place to maintain full functionality of existing drainage patterns. Storm water runoff from construction site must be passed through sediment control BMPs as indicated on erosion control plans, standard details, and compliant with NPDES-CGP permit.

Implementation: Install perimeter silt fence to intercept construction stormwater before discharging to receiving waterbody.

Maintenance requirements: Clean, or remove and replace, the protection measures as sediment accumulates, the filter fabric becomes clogged, and/or performance is compromised. Where there is evidence of sediment accumulation adjacent to the protection measure, Contractor must remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which it is found or by the end of the following work day if removal by the same work day is not feasible

Control measure: Drainage structures in areas where no work occurs will remain and will be protected. To prevent discharge of turbid water downstream, all existing catch basins located within the disturbance area will be protected with storm drain inlet protection. Proposed inlets will also be protected with catch basin inserts, and where feasible, their outlets will be temporarily plugged until the site is stabilized. The Contractor shall remove inlet protection at the end of the project without releasing captured sediment into the storm system.

[25]

Implementation: The inlet structures should be protected during construction to not allow sediment plug.

Maintenance requirements: Clean, or remove and replace, the protection measures as sediment accumulates, the filter becomes clogged, and/or performance is compromised. Where there is evidence of sediment accumulation adjacent to the inlet protection measure, remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which it is found or by the end of the following work day if removal by the same work day is not feasible.

Add other measures as needed.

7.10 Constructed Stormwater Conveyance Channels and Culvert Outlets

Describe velocity dissipation and/or erosion control devices to be installed at stormwater conveyance channels (such as roadside ditches) and culvert outlets. Includes permanent and temporary devices (specify).

7.13 Dewatering Practices

Discharge of ground water or accumulated stormwater that is removed from excavations, trenches, foundations, etc. into surface waters is prohibited unless such waters are first effectively managed by appropriate sediment controls. Uncontaminated non-turbid dewatering water can be discharge without being routed to a control.

D Not applicable to this project

If applicable:

[27]

Specific dewatering practice: Dewatering Filter Bag/Filter Sock or other standard practices

Implementation: Install dewatering devices. Install site specific barrier, prior to dewatering to prevent exterior water from entering construction area. All dewatering discharges must be treated to remove sediment before discharging from the construction site.

Maintenance: When a sediment basin or trap is used to enable settling of sediment from construction dewatering discharges, inspect the basin for sediment accumulation. Remove sediment prior to the basin or trap reaching half full. Inspect treatment facilities prior to any dewatering activity. If using a sediment control practice such as a sediment trap or basin, complete all maintenance requirements as described in the fact sheets prior to dewatering.

Properly dispose of used dewatering bags, as well as sediment removed from the dewatering BMPs. Depending on the size of the dewatering operation, it may also be necessary to revegetate or otherwise stabilize the area where the dewatering operation was occurring.
