2.6.1 NPDES Storm Water Program General Construction Permit

2.6.1.1 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY LESS THAN ONE ACRE:

01431-4

2.6.1.1.1 For construction activity that disturbs less than

1 acre of land the Contractor shall implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in Section D, Erosion and Sediment Controls.

2.6.1.2 WETLANDS, EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS:

2.6.1.2.1 WETLANDS: The Contractor shall not enter, disturb, destroy, place fill into, or allow discharge of contaminants into any wetlands except as specifically authorized herein. The Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of wetlands on Minot AFB property.

Authorization to enter specific wetlands identified shall not relieve the Contractor from any obligation to protect other wetlands within, adjacent to, or in the vicinity of the construction site and associated boundaries. Maps showing locations of wetlands within Minot AFB can be obtained from 5

CES/CEIE.

2.6.1.2.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for providing

erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with Federal, State and local laws. This applies in all cases, even for construction activity that disturbs less than an acre of soil. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be such that water quality standards are not violated as a result of the Contractor’s construction activities. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be kept to a minimum. The Contractor shall construct or install temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs). BMPs may include, but not be limited to, vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization, silt fences, construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins. The Contractor’s best management practices shall also be in accordance with the Base National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which may be reviewed at the Minot AFB Environmental Management Office. Any temporary measures shall be removed after the area has been stabilized.

2.6.2 For discharge of ground water, the Contractor shall obtain a State permit specific for pumping and discharging ground water prior to surface discharging in accordance with the requirements of the State Storm Water Discharges From Construction Sites permit. Refer to the NDDH web site.

2.6.3 PROTECTION OF WATER RESOURCES: The Contractor shall control the disposal of fuels, oils, concrete, calcium chloride, acids or harmful materials, both on and off the Government premises and shall comply with applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws concerning pollution of rivers, streams, and wetlands while performing work under this contract.

Water used in on-site material processing, concrete curing, foundation and concrete cleanup, and other waste waters shall not be allowed to reenter a stream if an increase in the turbidity of the stream could result therefrom.

01431-5

2.6.3.1 DEWATERING OF GROUNDWATER: For temporary dewatering of groundwater encountered during construction, the Contractor shall land apply all water generated at the locations indicated on drawings in accordance with Paragraph: LAND APPLICATION.

2.6.3.1.1 LAND APPLICATION: Land application shall follow

state requirements; however, no permit will be necessary. "Land application" implies that the Contractor shall discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting action, soil erosion, discharge into storm sewers, defined drainage areas, or discharge into the "waters of the State" shall occur. The Contractor shall contact the State of North Dakota, Division of Water Quality and Permit Program, to discuss the water quality parameters for chemical contaminants (such as chlorine), oil, grease, and total suspended solids and shall ensure that all water intended for land application will meet the state requirements.

2.6.4 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL: The Contractor shall be

responsible for providing erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be such that local, state, and federal water quality standards are not violated as a result of the Contractor's construction activities. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be held to a minimum. For areas subject to erosion including, but not limited to, steep slopes, soils spreading areas, and stockpile areas, the Contractor shall disturb as little vegetation as possible, minimize the period of time that the soil is exposed, prevent surface water runoff from flowing across disturbed areas, stabilize disturbed soils as soon as possible, and provide adequate drainage for the increased runoff. Sedimentation/erosion control features may include, but not be limited to, vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization, construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins.

Runoff management practices should be employed in areas where the potential for storm water contamination exists that cannot be addressed by a prevention or source reduction measure. Runoff management procedures may include vegetative swales, reuse of collected storm water, infiltration devices, and detention/sedimentation basins. Any erosion and sediment control measures which are damaged or found to be ineffective shall be remedied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. Any areas damaged by erosion shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

2.6.5 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN: The Contractor shall include a Spill Prevention and Response Plan in the Implementation Proposal.

The plan shall describe the Contractor's procedures for preventing and responding to spills of hazardous materials.
