(2) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP):

The SWPPP shall include all information and permit requirements specified in the CGP, and shall also be consistent with applicable state or local programs.

Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer and documented in the SWPPP, the contractor shall not expose a surface area of greater than 750,000 square feet to erosion through clearing and grubbing, or excavation and filling operations within the project limits until temporary or permanent Control Measures for that portion of the project have been installed and accepted by the Engineer.

The contractor shall indicate each 750,000 square-foot sub-area in the SWPPP, along with proposed Control Measures for each sub-area. The SWPPP shall also include the sequence of construction for each sub-area, and installation of the required temporary or permanent Control Measures.

The contractor shall give installation of permanent Control Measures priority over reliance on temporary measures. Permanent Control Measures and drainage structures shall be installed as soon as possible in the construction sequencing of the project, preferably concurrent with construction of the related sub-area or drainage device.

The project plans may include erosion/sediment control plans and details along with a Control Measure Index Sheet (CMIS) to assist the contractor in preparing the SWPPP. The contractor and the contractor’s ECC, or other qualified designee, as described in Subsection 104.09(B)(3), shall review the contract documents, and prepare the SWPPP for review by the Engineer. The contractor shall use the Department’s SWPPP Template to prepare the SWPPP. The template is available on the Department’s Water Resources website.

The SWPPP shall specify the mechanism whereby revisions may be proposed by the contractor or the Engineer throughout the project and incorporated into the plan, including the review and approval procedure. The Engineer and contractor shall jointly approve and sign each revision to the SWPPP before implementation. Any revisions made by the contractor to amend the approved SWPPP will require two to seven calendar days for review.

The contractor shall prepare the SWPPP for the Engineer’s review including all information specified herein. The contractor shall submit the SWPPP to the Engineer at the preconstruction conference.

Within 10 calendar days of the SWPPP submittal, the Engineer and contractor will jointly review the contractor’s SWPPP. The contractor shall include any additional revisions directed by the Engineer. The SWPPP shall meet the terms and conditions of the CGP and be compatible with construction sequencing and maintenance of traffic plans.

When agreement has been reached, the Engineer and contractor’s ECC will sign the SWPPP. The Engineer's signature will constitute approval of the SWPPP. Upon approval of the SWPPP, the contractor and the Engineer shall each file a Notice of Intent (NOI) as specified in Subsection 104.09(B)(6). The Engineer will provide a copy of the Department’s NOI to the contractor to be included in the SWPPP.

The SWPPP shall be maintained in accordance with the CGP. A current copy shall be maintained at a location approved by the Engineer and amended as necessary from the time the contractor files its NOI until the NOT is submitted. The SWPPP shall be available for inspection by entities identified in the CGP, and for use by the Engineer.

No condition of the CGP or the SWPPP shall release the contractor from any responsibilities or requirements under other environmental statutes or regulations.

In accordance with the CGP, the Engineer and the contractor shall confirm the frequency of inspections appropriate for the project. The contractor shall identify the frequency in the SWPPP. The contractor shall inform the Engineer when each inspection will be performed a minimum of 72 hours in advance so the Engineer can jointly perform the inspection if desired.

The contractor shall monitor rainfall on the site with a commercially manufactured rain gauge accurate to within 0.10 inches of rain. Rainfall records shall be maintained in the

SWPPP.

(3) Erosion Control Coordinator (ECC):

The contractor shall designate an erosion control coordinator (ECC) to be responsible for approval and implementation of the SWPPP, as well as all other applicable requirements of the CGP. The contractor’s ECC shall have the qualifications described in Subsection 104.09(B)(4).

The contractor shall not assume that the person proposed as ECC will be accepted by the Department merely because the experience and education requirements listed herein have been met.

After approval, the contractor shall designate the ECC as a duly authorized representative of the contractor in accordance with, and as defined in, the CGP. Documentation of the delegation of a duly authorized representative shall be included as part of the SWPPP.

The ECC shall be capable of identifying existing and predictable effects of the contractor's operations, and shall have complete authority to direct the contractor’s personnel and equipment to implement the requirements described herein, including prompt placement of corrective measures to minimize or eliminate pollution and damage to downstream watercourses. Corrective measures shall be completed in the timeframe required by the CGP and included in the SWPPP as required by the CGP.

The ECC shall at all times be aware of the contractor’s work activities, schedule, and effect of the work on the environment. Should the ECC not be present at the project site on a full-time basis, the contractor shall establish procedures to ensure that its ECC is promptly notified of any damage or displacement of the required erosion control measures, whether from construction, vandalism, or other causes.

The contractor bears all risks and liabilities for the failure of its ECC to properly implement the requirements of the CGP.

Failure of the contractor to properly maintain the Control Measures required in the approved SWPPP may be cause for the Engineer to reject the ECC and issue a stop work order, as specified in Subsection 104.09(B)(7).

(4) ECC Certification Requirements:

The ECC shall have successfully completed the mandatory two-day (16 hour) “Erosion Control Coordinator” training class (hereinafter referred to as the training class) provided by the Associated General Contractors (Arizona Chapter), phone (602) 252-3926. No other training can be substituted.

The training class certification is valid for three years. Within 60 days of the end of the three year period, in order to maintain the training class certification, the ECC shall successfully complete either a six-hour “Erosion Control Coordinator Refresher” class (hereinafter referred to as the refresher class), also provided by the Associated General Contractors (Arizona Chapter), or the two-day training class specified above. The refresher class will be required every three years thereafter, prior to the expiration date listed on the previous certificate. Should more than three years (and 60 day grace period) elapse from completion of either the training class or refresher class, the contractor’s ECC will be required to successfully complete the two-day training class in order to again be eligible for consideration.

In addition, the contractor’s ECC shall have documented experience equal to a minimum of one year from either of the following two categories:

(a) Experience in the implementation of SWPPPs. The ECC’s experience shall demonstrate full-time responsibility for directly supervising construction personnel in the installation, inspection, and maintenance of pollution prevention measures.

(b) Experience in stabilization of disturbed areas in environments similar to those on the project.

The contractor’s documentation shall provide details indicating the types of relevant experience and shall provide the number of months of each type of experience to be considered for approval.

The contractor’s documentation shall also indicate that the proposed ECC has completed the training class or refresher class. To be considered for approval, the contractor’s documentation shall include a copy of the proposed ECC’s certification.

(5) Acceptance of ECC and SWPPP:

The contractor shall submit documentation indicating the qualifications of the ECC to the Engineer for approval no later than the pre-construction conference. The Engineer will review the proposed candidate’s information within seven calendar days. The contractor may begin development of the SWPPP prior to approval of the ECC. However no clearing, grubbing, earthwork, or other work elements that may be subject to the requirements of the CGP shall be started until the ECC has been approved, the SWPPP finalized and implemented, the NOI completed and filed, and the CGP authorization received by the contractor and the Engineer. If sampling is required, the SWPPP and SAP shall also be reviewed and approved by ADEQ prior to ground disturbance by the contractor.

(6) Notice of Intent:

After the project SWPPP has been approved by the Engineer, the Engineer and the contractor will each complete separate Notice of Intent (NOI) forms for the project. The contractor shall submit the NOI to ADEQ as required by the CGP.

Unless notified otherwise by ADEQ, the contractor will be authorized to begin implementation of the approved SWPPP seven calendar days after acknowledgement of receipt of both NOIs by ADEQ or whenever an authorization certificate is issued by ADEQ, whichever occurs first.

(7) Non-Compliance:

The Engineer may reject the contractor’s ECC if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the conditions of the CGP or the SWPPP are not being fulfilled. Rejection of the contractor’s ECC shall be for failure to complete any of the following:

(a) Should the Engineer determine that the SWPPP is not being properly implemented; the contractor will be notified in writing of such deficiencies. The contractor’s ECC shall fully implement, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the requirements of the approved SWPPP within three working days.

(b) Should any corrective measures required in the CGP not be completed within the time periods specified therein, the Engineer will notify the contractor in writing. The contractor’s ECC shall complete all required corrective measures within two calendar days of such notification, except that direct inflows of sediment into a watercourse shall be corrected within 24 hours.

(c) Should the Engineer determine that routine maintenance of the project’s Control Measures is not being adequately performed; the contractor will be notified in writing. Within three working days, the contractor’s ECC shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Engineer that such steps have been taken to correct the problem.

In the event of the ECC’s failure to comply with the CGP or any of the above requirements, the Engineer will direct the contractor to stop all affected work and propose a new ECC as soon as possible. However, all Control Measures specified in the SWPPP shall be maintained at all times. No additional work on construction items affected by the SWPPP will be allowed until a new ECC has been approved by the Engineer. The contractor will not be allowed compensation or an extension of contract time for any delays to the work because of the failure of the contractor’s ECC to properly fulfill the requirements of the

SWPPP.

(8) Notice of Termination:

Upon written approval of the Engineer, the contractor shall complete and submit a Notice of Termination (NOT) to the Engineer for approval. After approval by the Engineer, the contractor shall submit the NOT to ADEQ.

The NOT shall be submitted as described in the CGP.

A copy of the SWPPP and the NOT shall be provided to the Engineer within seven days of the contractor receiving acknowledgement from ADEQ. The copies may be either electronic or hard copies.

(C) Aquifer Protection Requirements (Concrete Washout Facilities):

If the contractor’s work requires the use of temporary concrete washout facilities, the contractor shall comply with the requirements of ADEQ’s APP Type 1 Permit (APP 1.12).

APP 1.12 covers wastewater to an impoundment from washing concrete from trucks, pumps, and ancillary equipment. The contractor shall address concrete washout activities in the project SWPPP.

(D) Measurement and Payment:

Measurement and payment for work specified in the SWPPP will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 810. Control Measures specified in the contract which are to be accomplished under any of the other various contract items will be paid for as specified under those items.

If a force account pay item for Control Measures is included in the bidding schedule, the contractor may be reimbursed for such additional Control Measures proposed by the contractor but not included with the plans or specifications. Such additional Control Measures must be approved in writing by the Engineer before use. Items for Control Measures approved by the Engineer will be paid in accordance with Subsection 109.04(D).

No measurement or payment will be made for such additional items not approved by the Engineer.

No measurement or payment will be made to the contractor for time spent in preparing, reviewing, and revising the SWPPP, the SAP, or providing other required documentation, the cost being considered as included in the price of contract items. No measurement or payment will be made for inspections, training of personnel, the contractor’s erosion control coordinator, the contractor's pollution prevention practices and requirements, or maintenance of the Control Measures during a suspension of work, the costs being considered as included in contract items.

No measurement or payment will be made, except as specified below for external laboratory testing, for labor, equipment, and materials required in the SAP, the cost being considered to be included in contract items.

If an item is included on the bidding schedule for Construction Monitoring (Laboratory Testing), the contractor will be reimbursed for those samples tested, as required in the approved SAP, by an accredited laboratory approved by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The contractor will be reimbursed for the invoice amount of each required test, plus an additional markup of ten percent of the invoice amount. No measurement or payment will be made for in-field testing and related equipment, the cost being considered to be included in contract items.

No measurement or payment will be made for temporary concrete washout facilities, the cost being considered to be included in contract items.
