2.0 OBJECTIVE

A storm water pollution prevention plan must be prepared for storm water discharges that will reach Waters of West Virginia, including discharges to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), and to identify and address potential sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges from the construction site, including off-site material storage areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, borrow areas, equipment staging areas, vehicle repair areas, fueling areas, etc., used by the permitted project. The SWPPP must describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges associated with construction activity at the construction site and assure compliance with the terms and conditions of the general permit.

3.0 Non-Storm Water Discharges

All discharges authorized by this permit shall be composed entirely of storm water.

4.0 SWPPP REVIEW AND AMMENDMENTS

4.1 Review

This SWPPP must be retained on-site at the construction site or, if the site is inactive or does not have an on-site location to store the plan, a notice must be posted describing the location of the SWPPP. This SWPPP must be made readily available at the time of an on-site inspection.

4.2 Amendments

This SWPPP will be revised or updated when the following occurs:

1. Change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants and that has not been previously addressed in this SWPPP.

2. Results of inspections or investigations indicating this

SWPPP is proving ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in discharges authorized under the general permit.

3. To identify any new contractor and/or subcontractor that will implement a measure of the SWPPP.

All other permittees implementing portions of the SWPPP that will be impacted by a change to the SWPPP will be notified of the change in a timely fashion.

The revisions to the SWPPP will be documented on the “SWPPP Revision Documentation Form” found in the front of this document.

The authorized representative with regulatory authority (corporate officer or proprietor) to approve the SWPPP shall sign the modified plan certifying that the SWPPP revision information is true and accurate.

5.0 SITE OR PROJECT DESCRIPTION

5.1 Description of Construction Activity & Environmental Impacts

– See Appendix A: Attachment 9 - Project Description and Attachment 13 - ES Narrative. Also refer to Appendix B - Drawings

5.2 Construction Activity with Potential Pollutants and Sources

Potential pollutant sources at the Fords Run Drainage Project are limited to sediment from excavation and fill placement, surfacing of the gravel access road, asphalt pavement repair/replacement, rip rap placement, revegetation including fertilizer, seeding, and mulching, and diesel fuel and grease.

No herbicides or pesticides will be used onsite. No cement will be stored onsite and concrete will not be mixed onsite. No concrete is required for the project. A discussion of each potential pollution source follows:

• Excavation and Fill: Soils will be excavated as shown on the plans and will generally be handled using heavy construction equipment including; track mounted dozers and excavators, and off-road wheel mounted dump trucks. Soils will be excavated and placed immediately as compacted fill onsite. Soils that are excavated and not immediately placed as compacted fill will be stockpiled onsite in a high area not subject to run-on. Erosion will be controlled by preventing run on to disturbed areas and sediment will be controlled by temporary sediment control measures shown on the plans.

• Surfacing of the access road, pavement repair/replacement, and rip rap placement: Base stone aggregate for the access road, asphalt pavement, and rip rap will be hauled to the site from a commercial source in street legal dump trucks and placed at once in permanent position. Materials will not be stock piled onsite and will not be sediment producing.

• Revegetation: Disturbed areas will be hydroseeded at completion.

Fertilizer, seed, and mulch will be mixed in the hydro-seeder and sprayed into permanent position. Sediment from disturbed areas will be controlled by the temporary erosion and sediment control measures shown on the plans until the site is revegetated in accordance with the regulations. Permanent hydroseed mix will be applied during the spring and fall when conditions are optimal for germination and revegetation.

5.3 Major Activities Schedule – See Appendix A: Attachment 14 – Construction Sequence

The following schedule sheet is an intended schedule or sequence of major activities that will disturb the soil for major portions of the site.

5.8 Erosion and Sediment Control Site Map – See Appendix A:

Attachment 13 – ES Narrative and Appendix B: Drawings.

5.9 Industrial Discharges

This project does/does not (circle one) involve discharges associated with industrial activities other than commercial construction activities.

For construction occurring on an industrial site, reference existing multi-sector SWPPP, if applicable.

There are/are not (circle one) dedicated concrete or asphalt plants associated with this project.

There will be no discharge of process wastewater from concrete or asphalt plants. Water from equipment and vehicle washing, wheel washing, concrete and bituminous washout, and washout from paints, oils, and other construction materials is production waste water and cannot be disposed of on site or discharged without an individual NPDES permit. It must be contained and removed for processing and proper disposal.

5.10 Receiving Waters

The first named water body that receives stormwater discharges from the site is _Fords Run__________________. (See Figures 1 thru 3, Site Location and Drainage Maps)

The Designated Uses for this water body are:

NA – Natural Stream to be restored by this project.

5.11 WVDEP Construction General Permit, WV0115924. Refer to

DEP Website for General Permit information.

5.12 Threatened and/or Endangered Species

To be eligible for coverage under the construction stormwater permit, facilities must provide documentation on whether a listed endangered or threatened species, or critical habitat, are found with the proximity of the project. The facility used The Endangered Species Guidance provided in the Notice of Intent to help determine the status of the site. See copies of approval letters included in Appendix E.

A visual inspection of the area indicated (Check One):

No endangered or threatened species and/or critical habitat located within the proximity of the facility.

The following species and/or critical habitat and findings were noted:

NOTE: Include documentation regarding authorization under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), comprehensive site assessments, and/or BMP’s that are protective of listed endangered and threatened species and/or critical habitat, where applicable.

5.13 Historical Determination

The adverse effects on historic properties must be considered before a facility can be covered by the construction general permit. The National Register of Historic Places web site was reviewed and revealed the following (Check One):

None of the listed sites are located in the vicinity of the facility, or listed sites will not be affected by the facility.

The following sites are located in the vicinity of the facility (West Virginia State Historic Preservation written agreement included in Appendix A.)

NOTE: Include written agreement with the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) that outlines all measures to be undertaken to mitigate or prevent adverse effects to the historic property, where applicable. See Appendix E.

5.14 Total Maximum Daily Loading (TMDL)

The WVDEP (Check One)

Currently, there is no TMDL established for the receiving stream that would regulate potential pollutants from the construction site.

The enhanced BMP’s chosen for this site and discussed in this SWPPP are expected to ensure that storm water discharges are protective of water quality standards.

6.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS

This section includes descriptions of control measures that will be implemented to control pollutants in the storm water discharges. The control measures shall, at a minimum, be designed to effectively minimize the discharge of pollutants by design, installation, and maintenance, in order to meet effluent limitations required by 40 CFR 450.21. These limitations were incorporated into the reissued WV0115924, effective February 10, 2019.

6.1 Short and Long-Term Goals/Criteria

• Retain sediment on-site to the extent practicable with consideration for local topography, soil type, and rainfall.

• Select, install, and maintain control measures according to the manufacturer or designer’s specifications.

• Remove sediment accumulations if sediment escapes the site at a frequency to minimize further negative effects and, whenever feasible, prior to the next storm event.

• Remove sediment from sediment traps and sedimentation ponds no later than the time that the wet storage design capacity has been reduced by 50%.

• Remove sediment from silt fences before reaching 50% of BMP height (above ground).

• Address off-site material storage areas in erosion and sediment control efforts (overburden and dirt stockpiles, borrow areas).

6.2 Best Practicable Technology (BPT)

The chosen controls shall include designs that are effective at minimizing pollutants, and should be installed and maintained to:

• Control storm water volume and velocity in ways that minimize soil erosion.

• Control storm water runoff during peak flow and total storm runoff volume to minimize channel and stream bank erosion and scour around discharge points.

• Minimize exposed soils generated during construction.

• Preserve topsoil where feasible.

• Minimize disturbance of steep slopes on site.

• Minimize sediment discharge with erosion and sediment controls that are designed and installed to address:

o Duration, amount, frequency and intensity of precipitation, o Nature of resulting runoff, o Soil characteristics: range of particle sizes present.

• Use natural buffers around waters of the state and direct runoff to these areas, where feasible.

o Discharges to Outstanding Natural Resource Waters and impaired streams must have a 100-foot buffer zone, o Explain alternative practices where site constraints limit buffer zones.

• Minimize soil compaction unless dictated by site development

• Utilize outlet structures that withdraw water from the surface of settling basins or impoundments.

6.3 Site-Specific Erosion and Sediment Controls – See

Appendix A: Attachment 13 – ES Narrative and Attachment B:

Drawings

7.0 STABILIZATION PRACTICES

The site stabilization practices described in this SWPPP include temporary and permanent stabilization measures that ensure that disturbed portions of the site are stabilized, and that existing vegetation is preserved when possible. Final stabilization measures may include but are not limited to permanent protection such as pavement, compacted gravel, permeable pavements/pavers, buildings, stable waterways (riprap, concrete, grass or pipe), a healthy, vigorous stand of grass or natural vegetation that uniformly covers at least 70 percent of the ground, stable outlet channels with velocity dissipation that directs site runoff to a natural watercourse, and any other approved structure or material.

7.1 Deadline to Initiate Stabilization Measures

The types of activities that constitute the initiation of stabilization include, but are not limited to:

• Prepping soil for vegetative or non-vegetative stabilization

• Applying mulch or other non-vegetative product

• Seeding or planting

• Starting stabilization practices on a portion of the area to be stabilized

• Finalizing arrangements to have stabilization product fully installed.

Except as noted below, stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than 7 days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has permanently ceased or 4 days for sites required to use enhanced BMP’s.

• Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 4th day, as applicable after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceases is precluded by natural causes, stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as conditions allow.

• Where construction activity will resume on a portion of the site within 14 days from when activities ceased, (i.e., the total time period that construction activity is temporarily halted is less than 14 days) then stabilization measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of the site by the seventh day after construction activities have temporarily ceased.

• Areas where the seed has failed to germinate adequately (uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70%) within 30 days after seeding and mulching must be reseeded immediately, or as soon as weather conditions allow.

7.2 Deadline to Complete Installation of Stabilization Measures

As soon as practicable, but no later than 7 days after initiation of soil stabilization measures, the site will have completed:

• Vegetative Stabilization – initial seeding or planting, and/or

• Non-Vegetative – installation or application of stabilization measures.

With extenuating circumstances like frozen conditions, stabilization measures will be completed as soon as practicable. Routine inspections will be continued until final stabilization requirements are met.

7.3 Other Deadlines

Where the site is affected by circumstances beyond the control of the Stormwater Permittee, and vegetative stabilization measures are proposed, the following deadlines apply:

• Immediately initiate, and within 7 days complete installation of temporary non-vegetative measures to prevent erosion.

• As soon as conditions allow, the activities required to plant and initially establish vegetation will proceed.

The circumstances that led to the inability to complete the deadlines outlined in sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this SWPPP will be documented, with the outline of a schedule for initiating and completing stabilization.

7.4 Stabilization Records

The stabilization practices implemented will be recorded on the “Stabilization Practice Schedule” found in Appendix D. If construction activities temporarily or permanently cease, then it will be noted in the Stabilization Practice Schedule.

STRUCTURAL CONTROLS

8.1 Structural Control Requirements

Sediment traps and sediment basins may be used to control solids in storm water runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten (10) acres.

Sediment basins must utilize outlet structures that release water from the surface, unless infeasible.

At a minimum, super silt fence, belted reinforced silt fence, standard silt fences, 18” silt socks, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of the construction.

8.2 Site Structural Controls – See Appendix A: Attachment 13 – ES Narrative and Appendix B – Drawings.

The structural controls required are shown on the attached Design Drawings. These controls described in attached Attachment 13 and are used to divert flows away from exposed soils, to limit the contact of runoff with disturbed areas, or to lessen the off-site transport of eroded soils.

9.0 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT – SEE APPENDIX A: ATTACHMENT

18 – FINAL MANAGEMENT AND APPENDIX B: DRAWINGS

If any permanent storm water controls (e.g. detention ponds, catch basin filter inserts, etc.) or velocity dissipation devices are installed during the construction process to control pollutants in storm water discharges and will remain in place after the completion of construction operations will be noted on the Structural Control Sheet found in the Site Information section of the Appendix D.

10.0 OTHER CONTROLS

10.1 Other Control Requirements

To minimize off-site tracking of sediments and generation of dust, typical controls may include stabilized construction entrances, shoveling and sweeping, watering for dust control, etc.

All construction and waste materials that pose a potential pollutant source to the storm water runoff from the construction site will be stored in such a manner so as to prevent or minimize storm water contact.

To demonstrate that all applicable state and local regulations governing waste disposal, sanitary sewer or septic systems are being obeyed, the following practices are in place:

• The site will have the typical waste lumber, insulation, sheetrock, roofing, used paint supplies, etc. commonly found on a construction site. Either a roll off dumpster or wire fence containment will be provided for storing trash and rubbish until it can be properly disposed of. The dumpster or fence containment will be covered when not in use to prevent storm water from coming into contact with the trash and rubbish.

• Any concrete or asphalt plants associated with the project will be permitted and operated under their appropriate stormwater pollution prevention control plans.

• Any controls required for endangered or threatened species or their habitat, and/or those required by the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) will be installed properly and maintained accordingly.

10.2 Other Controls at the Site:

If any other controls will be used, it will be described on the Other Control Sheet shown below.

Other Controls Sheet

Controls Rationale

Dust - Water as needed

Off-site Tracking - Shoveling or sweeping as needed

Sewage - Port-a-toilets for workers; POTW for residence

Construction Litter and Trash - Covered dumpster to minimize waste materials contact with storm water

11.0 APPROVED LOCAL PLAN

The local requirements for an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan may or may not be met by the information contained in this SWPPP.

Additional information may be requested to fully comply with these local requirements.

12.0 MAINTENANCE

All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified in this SWPPP must be maintained in effective operating condition. If through inspections the permittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively, maintenance must be performed within 24 hours for active construction sites and before the next anticipated storm event to maintain the continued effectiveness of storm water controls. If maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, maintenance must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as practicable. Erosion and sediment controls that have been intentionally disabled, run-over, removed, or otherwise rendered ineffective must be replaced or corrected immediately upon discovery.

13. 0 INSPECTIONS OF CONTROLS – SEE INSPECTION LOG APPENDIX D

The permittee shall ensure site inspections are conducted by a Qualified Person in accordance with this section. The purpose of the inspections is to ensure compliance with the approved plan, and when the approved plan is not effective at protecting water quality, the inspection is to document that plan improvements are needed.

The person(s) inspecting the site may be a staff person or a third party hired to conduct such inspections as long as they meet the definition of a Qualified Person.

The site must be inspected as listed below.

• At least once every four (4) calendar days and

• Within 24 hours of the occurrence of a precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater, or the occurrence of runoff from snowmelt sufficient to cause a discharge.

Reductions in inspection frequency may occur in accordance with the following:

Stabilized areas:

The permittee may reduce the frequency of inspections to twice per month, no more than 14 calendar days apart, in any area of the site where final stabilization has been completed. If construction activity resumes in this portion of the site at a later date, the inspection frequency immediately increases to that required previous to the reduced frequency. The beginning and ending dates of this period must be recorded in the inspection report.

Exceptions:

For “linear projects”, where disturbed portions have undergone final stabilization at the same time active construction continues elsewhere, the permittee may reduce the frequency of inspections to twice per month no more than 14 calendar days apart, in any area of the site where the final stabilization has been completed. Inspect once more within 24 hours of the occurrence of a precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater. If there are no issues or evidence of stabilization problems, further inspections may be suspended. If “wash-out” of stabilization materials and/or sediment is observed, following re-stabilization, the reduced inspection frequency is suspended. Inspections must continue until final stabilization is visually confirmed following a precipitation event of 0.25 inches or greater.

Frozen conditions:

If the permittee suspends construction activities due to frozen conditions, inspections on the site may be temporarily suspended until thawing conditions begin to occur if:

• Runoff is unlikely due to continuous frozen conditions that are likely to continue at the site for at least three (3) months based on historic seasonal averages. If unexpected weather conditions (such as above freezing temperatures or rain events) make discharges likely, the permittee must immediately resume the regular inspection frequency as applicable;

• Land disturbances have been suspended and all disturbed areas of the site have been stabilized.

If still conducting construction activities during frozen conditions, the permittee may reduce the inspection frequency to once per month if:

• Runoff is unlikely due to continuous frozen conditions that are likely to continue at the site for at least three (3) months based on historic seasonal averages. If unexpected weather conditions (such as above freezing temperatures or rain events) make discharges likely, the permittee must immediately resume the regular inspection frequency; and

• Except for areas undergoing construction activities, disturbed areas of the site have been stabilized, the beginning and ending dates of this period must be documented in the inspection report.

14.0 CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY

Each control measure implemented on site is identified on the attached Design Drawings. The contractor is responsible for implementing that measure in the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.

The contractor is unknown at this time, therefore a list of contractors and subcontractors and the control measures their operations impact requirement is not available at this time.

All contractors and subcontractors working at the site are informed of the terms and conditions of the SWPPP and their obligation to follow the plan. In doing so, they agree not to perform their operations counter to the plan without first contacting the Permittee in order that the necessary adjustments to the SWPPP plan can be made to assure that pollutants are not discharged from the site in the storm water runoff.

15.0 UTILITY COMPANIES

No control measures relating to the installation of utility service are required at this time.

16.0 EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION

In the event of an unauthorized discharge that causes an emergency condition, the operator shall notify the hotline (WVDEP24-hour Elkview Emergency Response Unit) by telephone at 1-(304) 558-5938 or 1-(800) 642-3074 and the National Response Center at 1-(800)-424-8802 no later than one hour after learning of the discharge. Notification will be made regardless of the amount of the discharge. A written notification shall be provided within five (5) calendar days after the telephone notification, in accordance with the general permit requirements. The written submission shall contain a description of the noncompliance and its cause; the period of noncompliance, including exact dates and time, and if, the noncompliance has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the noncompliance.

17. EMPLOYEE TRAINING – See Attached Training Log Appendix D

Describe an employee training program for all on-site personnel directly involved with construction activities at all levels of responsibility that reiterates the components and goal of the SWPPP.

• Training should address topics such as spill and leak response and internal reporting, good housekeeping, and routine inspection and maintenance.

• Training shall be on a quarterly basis while construction activities are occurring.

• A list of attendees and topics covered at each training session shall be documented and maintained in the SWPPP.

FORDS RUN DRAINAGE PROJECT

BARBOUR COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA

CIVIL TECH PROJECT NO. 21146

Attachment No. 9: PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Fords Run Drainage Project is located in Barbour County, WV. Refer to Drawing No. 00 for the site location. The following provides a description of the project site and proposed modifications:

Site Description:

A description of the site and past mining is summarized below. The reader is referred to the attached Drawing 01 - Existing Site Conditions map for feature locations.

According to the OSM51 report, the Lower Kittanning Coal was deep mined by the Ketchum Coal Company at this site in the 1960’s. This site has also been used for coal refuse disposal and, according to information provided, reclamation work has been performed on two previous occasions to grade the refuse and construct armored drainage features to carry surface runoff downslope to Fords Run. Fords Run is also carried to the site in a grouted channel and then passes below the toe of the refuse through a 48-inch diameter RCP. This pipe is blocked and leaking into an adjacent channel about 550 ft. downstream of the inlet and this leakage then combines with red AMD from the refuse and flows downstream to Fords Run just downstream of the outlet of the 48-inch RCP. Failed drainage channels carrying surface runoff from the refuse reclamation area have caused substantial erosion and overflow at the inlet to 48-inch diameter RCP. This overflow floods the adjacent county road and causes refuse to accumulate on the highway. See Drawing 01 – Existing Site Conditions.

The project goal is to repair, replace, and reconfigure grading and drainage from the old refuse reclamation area to prevent erosion and overflow to the highway. As part of this project, Fords Run will be returned to a channel and the existing 48-inch RCP will be removed and backfilled. The pipe removed will be stockpiled onsite for the property owner’s use if deemed practical. Substantial AMD flows from the mine refuse and is affecting an active permit operated by Kanawha Energy (Permit # P-0713-00) Mine No.

10 Prep Plant. This uncontrolled AMD and refuse have prompted complaints from the permit holder, DEP, and the WVDOH. A rock toe constructed of crushed limestone is planned to capture and properly convey this seepage to Fords Run.

Mining Study:

Based on our review of information provided by the WVGS, the Lower, Middle, and Upper Kittanning are the coal seams of interest at this site. No mining is indicated in the Lower or Middle Kittanning Coal seams on the WVGS web site. There is a mine and portal opening shown on the WVGS web site in the Upper Kittanning. The entry to the mine suggests the elevation is about 1409 ft. We have located two areas that topography suggests may be portals. However, only one of these locations actually corresponds with the elevation of the mine as indicated on the mine map. DEP personnel investigated this possible mine entry following our initial site visit on January 5, 2022. However, DEP did not report any evidence of mine drainage or a dangerous impoundment on their site visit following our January 5 visit. This observation would be consistent with the structural contours for the Upper, Middle, and Lower Kittanning Seams shown on the WVGS which suggests the coal dips into the hillside to the north and west. Based on this information, the presence of AMD and an impoundment within the Upper Kittanning mine workings at this site is unlikely and the DEP has eliminated the mine entry from the scope of this project.

During our site inspection, we did not observe wetland areas, and since no streams will be impacted, it was agreed that a permit from the USACE should not be required. A design approach and summary follows:

Design Approach and Summary:

1. Temporary erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented including; temporary sump, pump, and dewatering bag(s), rock check dams, super silt fence, erosion control matting (ECM), and stabilized construction entrances as shown on the Plans. The construction sequence has been planned to utilize proposed permanent channels to prevent run-on into disturbed areas during construction and promote maintenance of vegetative buffers.

2. Clearing and grubbing.

3. Stripping and removal/stockpile of surface soil suitable for use as soil cover.

4. Demolition (48-Inch RCP Pipe Removal)

5. Rip rap channel and rock toe construction.

6. Channel repair, replacement, and re-alignment.

7. Minor grading of refuse to correct erosion features.

8. Installation of soil cover.

9. Revegetation.

NOTES

1. No swelling has been considered in this estimate. However, for material balance purposes, we have considered 15% shrinkage for the refuse excavated onsite. The gross excavation is 23,865.8 CY. Reducing this amount by 15% for shrinkage due to compaction of the refuse, the excavation volume refuse available for use as random fill will be 20285.9 CY.

2. Total gross excess material is approximately 11994.6 CY. However, adjusting for shrinkage of the refuse excavation, the total excess will be 8414.7 CY

3. Total waste site air volume is 45,293 CY. This volume exceeds the excess material volume.

4. The total borrow site volume is approximately 11,360 CY including coal refuse and soil borrow. Considering 60% of the total borrow volume is soil suitable for use as soil cover, we estimate the total volume of soil cover material available is 6,816 CY.

In addition, we believe the soil cover removed from pipe removal can be stockpiled and re-used. Therefore, we believe adequate soil cover will be available.

5. The project should require approximately 1,700 CY of Rock Fill and 4,030 CY of Riprap.

6. Approximately 5212 CY of Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) will be required.

Please note all disturbed areas have been included in the LOD area provided in this application and as shown on attached Drawings.

Discussion of Fords Run Drainage Project Slip Potential: Based on information provided on the NRCS Web Soil Survey for the Fords Run project location, the soils located within the project area are rated as low to high soil slippage potential. See the attached WSS soil slippage potential map. The project does not include significant sidehill cut or fill or other grading that is likely to result in slope instability. Clearing and grubbing will be minimized and in general, land disturbance will be minor and limited to that necessary to access the site and construct the ditches. Therefore, there should be no greater potential for slope instability during or after the planned construction than that which exists at present within this area. In fact, the installation of ditches to improve drainage will serve to control runoff and minimize future instability. The final slope within the borrow area will be constructed relatively flat to approximate original contours and will have a low potential for slope instability. No construction activities or disturbance within the drainage area is planned.

Attachment No. 13: NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF TEMPORARY EROSION AND

SEDIMENT CONTROLS

Erosion and sediment controls are shown on the attached:

Drawings 09 and 10 - Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Measures -1 and 2.

Drawing E1 – Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Details

Refer to Attachment No. 14 for a detailed Construction Sequence outlining the installation procedures proposed for these controls.

Temporary Erosion and Sediment controls will include:

1. Three (3) Stabilized Construction Entrances (SCE)

2. 1500 Linear Feet of Super Silt Fence (Reinforced Belted Silt may be used in lieu of constructed super silt fence if approved by WVDEP)

3. 13134 SY of Rolled Erosion Control Product (RECP)

4. 14 Rock Check Dams

5. 2 Silt Bags

In addition, vegetative barriers will be maintained to the extent possible. We should note, sediment basins have not been included in the recommended BMP’s due to the topography onsite and the anticipated environmental impacts of excavating, constructing, and removing sediment traps within the project area. As discussed below and in the construction sequence, the BMPs will be installed as construction progresses to collect and drain surface drainage during construction while preventing sedimentation of the receiving stream using Super Silt Fence, RECP, and rock check dams.

A narrative discussion of each of these controls is provided below:

1. Temporary controls including the stabilized construction entrances and super silt fence will be installed/constructed prior to land disturbance where shown on the plans or as required to prevent erosion and sedimentation of the receiving stream.

2. As outlined in the Project Description included as Attachment 9, onsite drainage flows to Fords Run via existing drainage ditches and erosion rills, and also through a clogged and leaking 48-inch CMP. Erosion rills will be filled to direct drainage to new drainage ditches DC-2 and DC-3, and the 48-inch pipe will be removed and a new rip rap ditch DC-1 will be constructed. In addition, a crushed limestone rock fill toe will be constructed at the base of existing refuse to reduce the effects of AMD prior to entering Fords Run. We intend to utilize the existing drainage pattern to the

ATTACHMENT NO 13 - TO SWPPP

extent possible during construction to prevent siltation of Fords Run as discussed in the Construction Sequence – Attachment 14 and as follows:

• Initially, the clogged 48-inch pipe will be removed, and ponded water drained and treated prior to discharge to Fords Run. Drainage Ditch DC-1 will be constructed simultaneously from downstream to upstream and the limestone toe will be constructed at the toe of the refuse.

• All flow entering Fords Run will be pumped around the work area during construction. If the discharge is noted to be turbid, it will be pumped through a silt bag prior to discharging into Fords Run.

• Drainage Ditches DC-2 and DC-3 will be constructed from downstream to upstream prior to filling erosion rills. Once these ditches have been constructed, erosion rills will be filled and the drainage patterns will be restored directing flow to the drainage ditches and Fords Run.

• Rock check dams will be installed in the ditches as they are being constructed to collect sediment and prevent siltation of Fords Run.

• Material excavated from the project and the borrow material will be used for filling erosion rills and soil cover. Super silt fence will also be installed around the excavation (borrow area) and fill areas and RECP will be placed on the completed fill slopes to prevent siltation of Fords Run.

• All seeding and mulching will be performed in accordance with the project specifications. See attached Specification Section 6.0 “Revegetation”.

Maintenance and Seeding Notes are also provided on attached Drawings 09 and 10.

3. Permanent vegetative control will be implemented at completion of each stage of construction and within 4 days of completion within the seeding season.

4. Temporary seeding and mulching will be provided if the site is inactive for 7 days or if the work is completed outside the dates allowed for permanent seeding.

5. The contractor will be required to adjust sediment control measures as work progresses and as required to prevent sedimentation of Fords Run.

6. Erosion and sediment controls will be maintained as required by the WVDEP.

7. Sediment will be removed from control devices as it collects.
