SECTION 01356

STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL: The Contractor shall implement the storm water pollution prevention measures specified in this section in a manner that complies with requirements herein or JB MDL. Under the federal Clean Water Act, 33

USC §1251 et seq., and the New Jersey Water Pollution Control Act, NJSA 58:10A-1 et seq., this Specification applies to all construction projects that clear, grade or excavate parcels that are one acre or larger. See NJAC 7:14A-

1.2 “Storm Water Discharge,” also NJAC 7:8 Storm water Management. As a best management practice, this

Specification also applies to all construction projects that clear, grade or excavates parcels less than one acre. The

Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 section 438 (EISA 438) requires all federal projects which disturb an area greater than 5000 square feet must maintain or restore, to the maximum extent technically feasible, the predevelopment hydrology of the property with regard to the temperature, rate, volume, and duration of flow.

Following the design requirements for NJAC 7:8 will in most cases meet the intent of EISA 438.

1.3 EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROLS: The controls and measures required by the Contractor are set forth below.

A. STABILIZATION PRACTICES: The stabilization practices to be implemented shall include temporary seeding, mulching, protection of trees, preservation of mature vegetation, etc. In his daily report the

Contractor shall record the dates when the major grading activities occur (e.g., clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankment, digging and grading); when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a site or portion of a site; and when stabilization activities are initiated. Except as provided in the paragraphs Unsuitable Conditions and No Activity for Less Than 21 calendar Days, stabilization practices shall be as soon as practicable, but be initiated no more than after 14 calendar days in any portion of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased.

B. UNSUITABLE CONDITIONS: Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the fourteenth day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceases is precluded by unsuitable condition caused by the weather, stabilization practices shall be initiated as soon as practicable after condition become suitable.

C. NO ACTIVITY FOR LESS THAN 21 calendar DAYS: Where construction activity will resume on a portion of the site within 21 calendar days from when activities ceased (e.g., the total time period that construction activity is temporarily ceased is less than 21 calendar days), then stabilization practices do not have to be initiated on that portion of the site by the fourteenth day after construction activity temporarily ceased.

D. STRUCTURAL PRACTICES: Structural practices shall be implemented to divert flows from exposed soils and otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants, which includes, but is not limited to soils, sand and rock, from exposed areas of the site. Structural practices shall also include any device indicated and submitted on the drawing and specifications submitted for the proposed project.

E. SILT FENCES: The Contractor shall provide silt fences as a temporary structural practice to minimize erosion and sediment runoff. Silt fences shall be properly installed and maintained to effectively retain sediment immediately after completing each phase of work where erosion would occur in the form of sheet and rill erosion (e.g. clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankment and grading). Silt fences shall be installed in the location indicated on the drawings, if so indicated, or in any additional places to best effectuate and control erosion and sediment runoff. Particular attention shall be given to placing silt fences around the perimeter of the contraction site, or each portion of the construction site, as conditions dictate.

Final removal of silt fence barriers shall be upon approval by the Contracting Officer (CO) after the site is stabilized.

F. STRAW BALES: The Contractor shall provide bales of straw as a temporary structural practice to minimize erosion and sediment runoff. Bales shall be properly installed and maintained to effectively retain sediment immediately after completing each phase of work (e.g. clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankment and grading) and in each independent runoff area (e.g., after clearing and grubbing in an area between a ridge and drain). Bales shall be places as work progresses and shall be removed, replaced and/or relocated as needed from work to progress in the drainage area. Particular attention shall be given to placing bales around drains and storm sewers in order to effectively minimize erosion and sediment runoff into those receptacles. Areas where straw bales are to be used may also be indicated on the shop drawings, or in any additional places to best effectuate and control erosion and sediment runoff. Final removal of the straw bale barriers shall be upon approval by the Contracting Officer after the site is stabilized. In addition to the direction provided in this paragraph, rows of bales of straw shall be provided as follows:

1. Along the downhill perimeter edge of all areas disturbed.

2. Along the top of the slope or top bank of drainage ditches, channels, swales, etc., which traverse disturbed areas.

3. Along the toe of all cut slopes and fill slopes of the construction areas.

G. DIVERSION DIKES: Diversion dikes shall have a maximum channel slope of 2 percent and shall be adequately compacted to prevent failure. The minimum height measured from the top of the dike to the bottom of the channel shall be 0.5 m. The minimum base width shall be 1.8.m and the minimum top width shall be 0.6 m. The Contractor shall ensure that the diversion dikes are not damaged by construction operations or traffic. Diversion dikes shall be located as required for the project.

H. STORMWATER CATCH BASIN PROTECTION: The contractor shall provide appropriate protection for all Storm water catch basins or inlets within the construction area, and all basins and/or inlets immediately downstream from the construction site.
