Prohibitions and applicable Numeric Action Levels (NALs) of the CSWRCB

CGP;

b. To determine whether non-visible pollutants are present at the construction site and are causing or contributing to exceedance of water quality objectives;

c. To determine whether immediate corrective actions, additional BMP implementation, or SWPPP revisions are necessary to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges;

and

d. To determine whether BMPs included in the SWPPP are effective in preventing or reducing pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges.

Include a description of the following items:

1. Visual observation locations, visual observation procedures, and visual observation follow-up and tracking procedures;

2. Sampling locations, and sample collection and handling procedures.

Include detailed procedures for sample collection, storage, preservation, and shipping to the testing lab to assure that consistent quality control and quality assurance is maintained. Attach an example Chain of Custody form used when handling and shipping samples to the monitoring program; and

3. Identification of the analytical methods and related method detection limits (if applicable) for each required parameter.

1.4.1.2 Non-Visible Pollutants

Designate trained personnel to collect water quality samples. Document the personnel and training in the CSMP. Training shall consist of the following elements:

1. SWPPP and CSMP review,

2. Health and safety review, and

3. Sampling simulations.

The CSMP shall describe the following water quality sampling procedures:

c. Quality assurance and quality control,

d. Sample labeling,

e. Collection documentation,

f. Sample shipping,

g. Chain of custody,

h. Sample numbering, and

i. Precautions from the construction site health and safety plan.

For discharges into bodies of water listed as impaired due to sedimentation/siltation, samples will be analyzed for both settleable solids in accordance with the requirements of EPA Method 160.5, and total suspended solids in accordance with EPA Method 160.2; or for suspended sediment concentration in accordance with the requirements in ASTM D 3977.

Identify locations for sampling and analysis of storm water discharges to characterize discharges associated with construction activity from the entire project disturbed area and the reason for their selection. Show sampling locations shall on the Site Maps. The point of compliance for samples is at the project boundary. The sampling locations shall include:

a. Upstream/up-gradient from direct discharges from the construction site from a representative and accessible location as close as possible and upstream from the effluent discharge point;

b. Immediately downstream/down-gradient from the last point of direct discharge from the construction site from a representative and accessible location as close as possible and downstream from the effluent discharge point;

c. Immediately downhill from the locations where water flows onto into the water body.

This project has the potential to discharge non-visible pollutants in storm water from the construction site. Include a description of the sampling and analysis strategy and implement monitoring of non-visible pollutants in the

CSMP.

Identify potential non-visible pollutants that will be present on the construction site associated with the following:

a. Construction materials and wastes;

b. Existing contamination due to historical site usage; or

c. Application of soil amendments, including soil stabilization products, with the potential to alter pH or contribute toxic pollutants to storm water.

Show the locations planned for storage and use of the potential non-visible pollutants on the Site Maps.

Describe the schedule for collecting effluent samples from all discharge points where non-visible pollutants are discharged off-site in the CSMP.

The following list of conditions requires sampling when observed during inspections:

a. Materials or wastes containing potential non-visible pollutants are not stored under watertight conditions.

b. Materials or wastes containing potential non-visible pollutants are stored under watertight conditions, but:

1. A breach, leakage, malfunction, or spill is observed;

2. The leak or spill has not been cleaned up before precipitation; and

3. There is the potential for discharge of non-visible pollutants to surface waters or drainage system.

c. Construction activities; such as application of fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, methyl methacrylate concrete sealant, or non-pigmented curing compound; have occurred during precipitation or within 24 hours preceding precipitation, and have the potential to discharge pollutants to surface waters or drainage system.

d. Soil amendments, including soil stabilization products, with the potential to alter pH levels or contribute toxic pollutants to storm water runoff have been applied, and have the potential to discharge pollutants to surface waters or drainage system (unless independent test data are available that demonstrate acceptable concentrations of non-visible pollutants in the soil amendment).

e. Storm water runoff from an area contaminated by historical usage of the site has the potential to discharge pollutants to surface waters or drainage system.

Identify water flow paths sampling locations for collecting downstream and control samples, and the reason for their selection. Select the control sampling location so the sample does not come into contact with materials, wastes or areas associated with potential non-visible pollutants or disturbed soil areas. Show non-visible pollutant sampling locations on the Site Maps. Identify the analytical method to be used for downhill and control samples for potential non-visible pollutants on the project.

Samples to be analyzed by a laboratory shall be sampled, preserved, and analyzed by a State-certified laboratory in conformance with the requirements in 40 CFR 136, "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants." Identify the laboratory, sample containers, preservation requirements, holding times, and analysis method in the CSMP.

Ensure that the analyzing laboratories will receive samples within 48 hours of the physical sampling (unless otherwise required by the laboratory), and shall use only the sample containers provided by the laboratory to collect and store samples. Keep Water quality analytical results, and quality assurance and quality control data for a period of three years, and retained on-site while construction is ongoing. Also, provide an evaluation of whether the downhill or downstream samples show levels of the tested parameter higher than in the control sample. If downhill or downstream samples show increased levels, assess the water pollution control measures, site conditions, and surrounding influences to determine the probable cause for the increase. As determined by the assessment, repair or modify water pollution control measures to address increases and amend the SWPPP as necessary. Electronic results (in one of the following file formats: .xls, .txt) shall have the following information:

a. Sample identification number.

b. Contract number.

c. Constituent.

d. Reported value.

e. Analytical method.

f. Method detection limit.

g. Reported limit.

h. Data Qualifiers.

Maintain the water quality sampling documentation and analytical results with the SWPPP on the project site. If construction activities or knowledge of site conditions change such that discharges or sampling locations change, amend the CSMP as necessary.

2.1 REQUIRED BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

2.1.1 Erosion Control BMPs

Weed seed banks in the agricultural fields to be converted to native habitat areas have been shown to have weed seed banks averaging 200 lbs. per acre.

Weeds typically germinate and grow quickly. Weed growth can be used as an erosion control BMP. Coordinate weed control methods with management of erosion control BMP’s to ensure that adequate quantities of weeds are present to provide adequate erosion protection. Weeds that have grown and have been killed by herbicide applications will continue to provide erosion protection for some period of time. Long term erosion control will be provided by seeding and establishing native grasses. Follow the additional recommendations as provided in Section 32 92 33 GRASS SEEDING AND EROSION CONTROL to be in compliance for seeding or other long-term BMPs. In disturbed areas that will be more highly prone to erosion, install and maintain a combination of two or more of the following five erosion control BMPs for soil protection in each area: hydraulic mulch, hydroseeding, broadcast seeding, soil binders, straw mulch, or geotextile and mats.

Choose the BMPs with minimum longevity to meet the duration of the project, and those which offer habitat sensitive, biodegradable or photodegradable features, when allowed by site conditions.

2.1.1.1 Scheduling

Utilize scheduling as an erosion control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Scheduling, EC-1" fact sheet. Schedule work to eliminate soil disturbance activities during rain events. If work is to be done when rainfall is predicted, adjust the construction schedule to allow the implementation of erosion and sedimentation controls on all disturbed area prior to rainfall.

2.1.1.2 Preservation Of Existing Vegetation

Utilize this BMP as an erosion control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Preservation of Existing Vegetation, EC-2" fact sheet. Identify and protect vegetation that provides erosion and sedimentation control benefits when possible. Provide temporary fencing prior to the commencement of soil disturbing activities to protect existing vegetation.

2.1.1.3 Hydraulic Mulch

This BMP shall meet the CASQA CABMPHB "Hydraulic Mulch, EC-3" fact sheet standards.

2.1.1.4 Hydroseeding

This BMP shall meet the CASQA CABMPHB "Hydroseeding, EC-4" fact sheet

Hydroseeding requires sufficient time in the season to ensure adequate vegetation establishment and erosion control prior to rainfall. If conditions for seeding (per specifications, BMP factsheet , and manufacturers recommendations) cannot be met within 14-days of the area becoming inactive, install Geotextiles or mats to ensure soil cover until the optimum seeding time is available. Follow the paragraph titled, "Geotextiles and Mats" and specification section 32 92 33 GRASS SEEDING AND EROSION CONTROL for product and installation requirements.

2.1.1.5 Soil Binders

This BMP shall meet the CASQA CABMPHB "Soil Binders, EC-5" fact sheet

2.1.1.6 Straw Mulch

This BMP shall meet the CASQA CABMPHB "Straw Mulch, EC-6" fact sheet

2.1.1.7 Geotextiles And Mats

The use of plastic liners is discouraged, use plastic material only where deemed necessary and shall be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to use. Material selection, site preparation, seeding, anchoring, and installation requirements are detailed in the CASQA CABMPHB fact sheet.

This BMP shall meet the CASQA CABMPHB "Geotextiles and Mats, EC-7" fact sheet standards.

When seed is placed in combination with Rolled Erosion Control Products, seed the area before blanket installation. Re-seed all areas disturbed during blanket installation. Ensure blankets are anchored and are uniformly in contact with the soil. If direct contact with the soil cannot be maintained (such as on rocky slopes) use alternate erosion control methods shall be used rather than rolled erosion control products.

2.1.2 Sediment Control BMPs

Install and maintain the following sediment control BMPs. Choose the following BMPs with minimum longevity to meet the duration of the project, and those that offer habitat sensitive, biodegradable or photodegradable features, when allowed by site conditions. Do not use of sandbags or straw bales shall unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer.

2.1.2.1 Silt Fence

Install and maintain silt fences as a sediment control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Silt Fence, SE-1" fact sheet. Secondary to fiber rolls, silt fences are temporary linear sediment barriers of permeable fabric designed to intercept and slow the flow of sediment-laden sheet flow runoff. Properly trench and key in silt fences for full effectiveness.

Remove and properly dispose damaged silt fences and replace with new ones.

Remove sediment when the sediment accumulation reaches 1/3 of the barrier height. Design and layout, materials and installation requirements are detailed in the CASQA CABMPHB fact sheets, which shall be adhered to.

2.1.2.2 Sediment Basin

If necessary, install and maintain sediment basins as a sediment control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Sediment Basin, SE-2" fact sheet. Use sediment basins where sediment-laden water may enter the drainage system or watercourse and/or in association with dikes, temporary channels, and pipes used to convey runoff from disturbed areas. Use sediment basins in conjunction with erosion control practices to reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the basin.

The QSP shall inspect the sediment basin prior to any likely forecasted rain event, daily during rain events, after rain events, and a minimum of once per week when a rain event is not likely. Periodically remove accumulated sediment in order to maintain BMP effectiveness. The QSP shall ensure the sediment is removed when sediment accumulation reaches one-half the designated sediment storage volume. The QSP shall ensure all standing storm water from the basins is removed within 96 hours after accumulation.

Basins with an impounding levee greater than 4.5 feet tall, measured from the lowest point of the impounding area to the highest point of the levee, and basins capable of impounding more than 35,000 square feet, shall be designed by a Registered Civil Engineer.

2.1.2.2 Fiber Rolls

Install and maintain fiber rolls as a sediment control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Fiber Rolls, SE-5" fact sheet. Preferred over silt fences, fiber rolls (or straw wattles) consists of straw, flax, or other similar materials bound into a tight tubular roll. Use fiber rolls containing biodegradable materials with photodegradable netting. Properly trench and stake fiber rolls for full effectiveness. Repair split, torn, unraveling or slumping fiber rolls within 48 hours of identification.

Remove sediment when sediment accumulation reaches 1/3 the designed sediment storage depth. When installing on a slope, the slope inclination controls the required spacing as detailed in the CASQA CABMPHB fact sheet, and the Risk Level 2 requirements in the CSWRCB CGP (see paragraph MAINTENANCE, MONITORING AND INSPECTIONS). Fiber rolls shall comply with Section 32 92 33 Grass Seeding and Erosion Control paragraph titled “Straw Wattles.”

2.1.2.3 Street Sweeping And Vacuuming

Utilize this BMP as a sediment control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Street Sweeping and Vacuuming, SE-7" fact sheet. Implement this BMP anywhere sediment is tracked from the project site onto public or private paved roads, especially at points of ingress/egress. Use Self-propelled or walk-behind equipment to remove sediment and clean paved areas.

Kick brooms or sweeper attachments are not allowed. Sweep and/or vacuum visible sediment tracking to eliminate unauthorized non-storm water discharge from reaching surface water or drainage systems. When tracked or spilled sediment is observed outside the construction limits, remove it immediately; continuous removal may be required. If sediment is wet or when tracked soil is caked, scrape the soil loose. The discharge of any debris

(litter, rubble, discarded refuse, and remains of destroyed inorganic anthropogenic waste) is prohibited. After sweeping is finished, properly dispose of sweeper wastes at an approved dumpsite.

2.1.2.4 Storm Drain Inlet Protection

Install and maintain this BMP as a sediment control BMP in accordance with the CASQA CABMPHB "Storm Drain Inlet Protection, SE-10" fact sheet.
