HORTON FARM ROAD BRIDGE NO. 472 RECONSTRUCTION

The bridge work in the contract shall include the replacement of Horton Farm Road Bridge No. 472. The work

shall include the demolition of the entire existing bridge superstructure and abutment backwalls, the partial

demolition of the abutments and pier to the limits shown on the contract drawings, and the demolition of the

wingwall parapets. The work for the bridge superstructure shall include the installation of plate girders,

precast concrete deck panels, closure pours, and cast-in-place concrete parapets on the deck. The work for

the bridge substructure shall include the installation of precast backwalls for the abutments, precast

approach slabs, cast-in-place bridge seats for the abutments and pier, and cast-in-place concrete parapets

on the wingwalls.

PROJECT INFORMATION

Brief Project Description

The work will take place on I-195 between Broadway and the Massachusetts State Line. Resurfacing of the

highway and ramps will affect mainline and entering/exiting traffic. The Horton Farm Road ramp bridge

superstructure will be replaced as part of this project. Travel over the bridge will be restricted to one lane for

the extent of the work. A closure and detour of Ramp FR-1 will be available as necessary to provide

additional work space during the evening hours.

While some work will be completed outside of existing roadway limits most portions of the work will require

temporary restrictions of traffic including lane closures, shoulder closures, lane shifts, road/ramp closures,

and detours. The duration of each such restriction will vary depending on the work operation and will range

from long-term (e.g. stationary lane shifts for construction of ramps and bridges) to short term (e.g. mobile

lane closures for installation of pavement markings.

with this contract.

2. The Contractor shall note that nighttime work, unless otherwise noted as required, is allowed.

3. The construction operations of this Project must be coordinated with the local community public officials. Upon award of the Contract and

approval of the schedule, but prior to the construction, the Contractor shall coordinate requirements for Uniformed Traffic Control Persons with the

Engineer who will coordinate with state and local police departments.

4. The Contractor shall maintain power to the Interstate Route 195 lighting system located within the areas in which vehicular traffic is maintained

during each construction phase.

5. The Contractor is advised that the signs and other traffic control devices shown on the Maintenance and Protection of Traffic Plans and Details

are minimum requirements. The Contractor shall be responsible to supplement these as required to ensure the public’s safety. Prior to beginning

work that affects traffic, the Contractor shall furnish and install the required signs and other traffic control devices.

6. In cases of emergency and/or as directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall move equipment to allow for the passage of emergency vehicles

and/or open closed lanes to maintain traffic flow.

7. The Contractor shall notify the Department in writing at least fourteen (14) days in advance of any intended lane restrictions and/or closures so

that adequate public notice can be given. Upon the Engineer’s approval, the Contractor shall coordinate the required traffic control.

8. All work must be performed in a manner that causes the least disruption to existing vehicular and pedestrian traffic for as short a period of time

as possible. When work commences in such areas, it shall be expeditiously completed without unnecessary interruptions.

9. The Contractor shall backfill or shall place steel plates, as approved by the Engineer, capable of supporting HS-25 wheel loading over all trenches

and excavations that are not protected by barrier at the end of work each day except when otherwise directed by the Engineer. There shall be no

additional compensation for backfilling, re-excavating and/or plating these trenches. Use of steel plates is restricted to local roads.

10. All temporary construction signs shall be removed, covered or otherwise concealed when they are not needed to properly warn drivers and/or

pedestrians. This includes the periods between erecting the signs and the start of operations, as well as when a phase is completed or suspended.

The Contractor shall be compensated for this under Item Code 937.0200, “Maintenance and Movement Traffic Protection”.

11. The measurement and payment for all traffic control devices and for the maintenance and movement of traffic protective devices will be made

under the appropriate bid items at the Contract unit bid prices.

13. Temporary construction signs shall not be placed so they encroach on open lanes of traffic. Signs shall be trimmed when placed on median

barriers to avoid encroaching on open travel lanes. This work shall be considered incidental and no extra payment shall be made.

14. All temporary signs shall be erected so that they are not obstructed by barrels or cones.

INTRODUCTION This Construction Site Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared for the State of Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) pursuant to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) Rhode Island Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (RIPDES) Program regulations (amended February 5, 2003). Pursuant to Rule 32 of the RIPDES Regulations, projects proposing to discharge storm water must seek authorization under a RIPDES General Permit. In accordance with the General Permit for Storm Water Discharge Associated with Construction Activity (General Permit), projects that disturb one (1) or more acres require the preparation of a SWPPP and RIDEM authorization following RIPDES review of a Notice of Intent (NOI). This SWPPP provides guidance for complying with the terms and conditions required under the General Permit, however, this document does not negate or eliminate the need to understand and adhere to all applicable RIPDES regulations. The purpose of erosion and sedimentation best management practices (BMPs) is to prevent pollutants from leaving the construction site and entering waterways or environmentally sensitive areas during and after construction. This SWPPP has been prepared prior to the initiation of construction activities to address anticipated worksite conditions. The best management practices (BMPs) depicted on the site plan and described in this narrative should be considered the minimum measures required to control erosion, sedimentation, and stormwater runoff at the site. Since construction is a dynamic process with changing site conditions, it is the operator’s responsibility to manage the site during the construction phases so as to prevent pollutants from leaving the site. This may require the owner or operator to revise and amend the SWPPP during construction to address varying site and/or weather conditions, such as by adding or realigning erosion or sediment controls, to ensure the SWPPP remains compliant with the General Permit. Records of these changes must be added to the amendment log attached to the SWPPP, and to the site plans as “red-lined” drawings. The RIDOT Resident Engineer and designated Inspector are required to review the SWPPP and sign the Party Certification pages (Section 8). The prime contractor and all subcontractors involved in earthwork or exterior construction activities are also required to review the SWPPP and sign the certification pages before construction begins.

It is the responsibility of the RIDOT Resident Engineer to maintain the SWPPP, including all attachments, amendments and inspection records, at the project field office and to make all records available for inspection by RIDEM during construction. (RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section II.A.)

Any questions regarding the SWPPP, BMPs, inspection requirements, or any other facet of this document may be addressed to the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit at 401-222-2023.

Please note: Even if practices are correctly installed on a site according to the approved plan, the site is only in compliance when erosion and sedimentation are effectively controlled throughout the entire site.

1.3 Existing and Proposed Soils, Slopes, Vegetation, and Drainage Patterns

Soil type(s): RIPDES Construction General Permit – IV.E.1.e

According to a review of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service soils map for Providence County, Rhode Island, on-site soils along I-195 corridor consist of Udorthents (UD) soil type. UD soil type consists of moderately well drained to excessively drained soils. The hazard of erosion for UD soil type is low.

A section of I-195 corridor at the eastern limits of the site, between Horton Farm Road (Bridge 472) and County Street/Warren Avenue, consist of Udorthents (UD), Paxton Fine Sandy Loam (PaB) and Merrimac Fine Sandy Loam (MmB) soil types. UD soil type consists of moderately well drained to excessively drained soils and. The hazard of erosion for UD soil type is low. The permeability of PaB soil type is slow or very slow in the substratum. The hazard of erosion for PaB soil type is moderate. MmB soil type consists of somewhat excessively drained soils and the permeability of the soil is moderately rapid. The hazard of erosion for MmB soil type is moderate.

Slopes:

Existing: Areas around Bridge 472 abutments will require grading and utility installation areas along the I-195 corridor edges (north and south) will require grading. The slopes of grading or filling areas vary with a maximum of 2:1 slope (50%).

Proposed: There is no change to existing slopes at areas impacted by construction activities. The slopes of grading or filling areas vary with a maximum of 2:1 slope (50%).

SECTION 2: EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROLS RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section IV.E.2.a

The purpose of erosion controls is to prevent sediment from moving onto, around, or off of the construction site. Properly installed and maintained erosion controls are the primary defense against sediment pollution.

Sedimentation controls are a second line of defense against moving sediment. The purpose is to prevent moving sediment from leaving the construction site and entering environmentally important areas.

Runoff controls are used to slow the velocity of concentrated water flows. By intercepting and diverting stormwater runoff to a stabilized outlet or treatment BMP, erosion and sedimentation are reduced.

Please note: Even if practices are correctly installed on a site according to the approved plan, the site is only in compliance when sediment and pollutants are effectively controlled throughout the entire site. If controls are repeatedly failing, it is the responsibility of the Resident Engineer and Construction Contractor to develop a corrective action plan that may include different controls than is depicted on the Approved Plan Set.

2.1 Minimize Disturbed Area and Protect Natural Features and Soil

As far as is practicable, existing vegetation will be protected and left in place, in accordance with the clearing limits shown on the approved Plans. Prior to any land disturbance activities commencing on the site, the Contractor will physically mark limits of disturbance (LOD) on the site and any areas to be protected within the site, so that workers can see the areas to be protected.

Natural vegetation shall be preserved on site where possible. This shall prevent erosion by providing continuous anchoring of the soil.

BMP Description: Topsoil stripped from the immediate construction area will be stockpiled as identified on the site plans. The stockpile will be in an area that will not interfere with construction phases and at least 15 feet away from areas of concentrated flows or pavement. The slopes of the stockpile will not exceed 2:1 to prevent erosion. A silt fence will be installed around the perimeter of the stockpile, in accordance with the RIDOT Stockpile Management Specifications. The stockpile will be temporarily stabilized with erosion controls. Installation Schedule: Topsoil stockpiles will be established during grading activities. Temporary stabilization will be applied immediately after the slopes of the stockpile have been graded and construction equipment transverses the slopes. Maintenance and Inspection: The area will be inspected weekly for erosion and immediately after storm events. Areas on or around the stockpile that have eroded will be stabilized immediately with erosion controls. Maintenance and inspection procedures for the silt fence are as described in RIDOT standard specifications.

2.2 Phase Construction Activity

Proper sequencing of construction activities is essential to maximize the effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures. The purpose is to reduce the amount and duration of soil exposed to erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking.

Construction sequencing and timing of construction activities will include:

1. Installation of all erosion and sediment controls that are required to be in place and functional before any earthwork begins. This will be done in accordance with Sections 201, 206 through 211 of the RIDOT Standard Specifications.

2. Upon acceptable completion of site preparation and installation of erosion and sediment controls, site construction activities may commence. Routine inspection and maintenance and/or modification of erosion and sediment controls while earthwork is being done is required.

3. Final stabilization of any disturbed areas after earthwork has been completed.

Phase I – BEFORE EARTHWORK

Site Mobilization: Work under this sequence of activities includes the installation of site erosion and

sedimentation controls, clearing and grubbing, installation of field offices, installation of temporary

fencing, installation of temporary utilities, and storage of construction materials. The approximate

duration of this phase is expected to be one month. The anticipated start date is July 2017.

Temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) measures will be installed in this phase prior to

construction activities. To prevent run-off of untreated stormwater and sediment from entering city

stormwater or sewer facilities, nearby water bodies, or adjacent properties, the following temporary

construction BMPs will be used:

1. Hay or straw bales barriers

2. Sediment fences

3. Filters for storm drain inlet protection

Phase II – DURING EARTHWORK

Bridge Demolition: Work under this sequence of activities includes the demolition, removal and disposal of the existing bridge superstructure, pier substructure, removal of existing the abutments backwalls, approach slabs, wingwall barriers, and removal and disposal of bituminous pavements, removal and disposal of existing site features. The approximate duration of this phase is expected to be thirty (30) days.

Bridge Construction: The work associated with this portion of the project includes the installation

of the new bridge superstructure using prefabricated deck panels that will be supported by steel plate girders, the concrete traffic barrier on the bridge, the pier substructure, abutment backwalls, wingwall barriers, and approach slabs. The approximate duration of this phase is expected to be three (3) months.

Roadway Improvements: Work under this sequence of activities includes the micro-milling and

overlay of I-195, cleaning and adjusting of storm drain structures, guard rail replacement



15

and installation of roadway lighting. The approximate duration of this phase is expected to be three (3) months.

To prevent run-off of untreated stormwater and sediment from entering city stormwater or sewer

facilities, nearby water bodies, or adjacent properties, the following temporary construction BMPs will be used:

1. Hay or straw bales barriers 2. Sediment fences 3. Filters for storm drain inlet protection

The approximate duration of this phase is expected to be thirteen (13) months. The anticipated start

date is August 2017.

Phase III – FINAL STABILIZATION

Site Restoration: The work associated with this portion of the project includes site restoration. Fine

grading, loaming and seeding will occur. Temporary erosion controls will be removed, as well as

temporary construction aides will be demobilized. The approximate duration of this phase is expected

to be one (1) month. The anticipated end date is October 2018.

2.3 Control Stormwater Flowing Onto and Through the Project

Structural BMPs will be used to prevent stormwater flow from coming onto the project area, and to divert and slow on-site stormwater flow from exposed soils to limit erosion, runoff, and the discharge of pollutants from the site.

Control measures &/or methods that may be used include diversion ditches or berms, compost filter socks, fiber rolls, gravel bag berms, slope drains, check dams, and riprap.

BMP Description: Sediment fences and straw or hay bales shall be placed across construction ditches during construction to limit the transport of sediment into drainage systems and waterways, in accordance with RIDOT standards 9.3.0. Installation Schedule: Construction ditches will be protected with silt fence and bales of straw or hay at all times during construction. Maintenance and Inspection: The area will be inspected weekly for erosion and immediately after storm events. The area will be inspected for erosion and accumulation of debris and sediment. Debris and sediment shall be removed and eroded embankments shall be repaired immediately.

2.4 Stabilizing Soils

Phased Clearing & Grubbing:



16

Only areas that can be reasonably expected to have active construction work being performed within 21-days of disturbance will be cleared/grubbed at any one time. It is NOT acceptable to clear and grub the entire construction site if disturbed portions will not be active within the 21-day time-frame.

Clearing/Grubbing will not take place during a rain event if erosion is likely to occur; nor will it occur if a rain event is forecasted and appropriate erosion controls can not be installed prior to the storm and in accordance with section 201, 206 through 211 of the RIDOT standard specifications.

No undisturbed areas will be cleared of existing vegetation after October 15th of any calendar year or during any period of full or limited winter shutdown. All disturbed soils exposed prior to October 15 of any calendar year will be seeded or protected by that date. Any such areas that do not have adequate vegetative stabilization, as determined by the resident engineer or environmental inspector, by November 15 of any calendar year, must be stabilized through the use of erosion control matting or hay mulch, in accordance with specifications contained within the RI Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (as amended). If work continues within any of these areas during the period from October 15 through April 15, care must be taken to ensure that only the area required for that Day’s work is exposed, and all erodible soil must be restabilized within 5 working days.

As per RIDOT Standard Specification 201.03.1 – Clearing and Grubbing: After clearing, and by the end of each day's grubbing operation, the Contractor will install erosion control measures that are indicated on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. Such erosion control measures will be installed in strict accordance with the requirements of SECTIONS 206, 207, and 208 of these Specifications, PERIMETER EROSION CONTROLS, CHECK DAMS, and TEMPORARY DEWATERING BASINS, respectively.

Initiating Stabilization Practices

As per RIPDES General Permit (Construction Activity) Section IV.E.2.a: Upon completion and acceptance of site preparation and initial installation of erosion and sediment controls the operator will initiate appropriate stabilization practices during all phases of construction on all disturbed areas as soon as possible but not more than fourteen (14) days after the construction activity in that area has temporarily or permanently ceased, unless the activity is to resume within twenty one (21) days.

Any disturbed areas that will not have active construction activity occurring within twenty one (21) days must be stabilized using the BMPs depicted on the approved plan set and in accordance with RIDOT Standard Specifications Section L.02 – Seeding, Section L.05 - Seed Stabilizers and Section M.18 – Landscape Materials (M.18.08 – Mulch and M.18.09 – Seed Stabilizer Materials).

Maintaining Stabilization

Controls and methods that may be used to maintain soil stabilization include the placement of geotextiles, erosion control blankets/mats, and temporary seeding. If the stabilization BMPs fail and erosion occurs, then alternative control measures &/or methods may need to be substituted, with approval of the RIDOT Resident Engineer and the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit.

The following stabilization practices shall be implemented and maintained during the duration of the construction: Temporary Stabilization: While no further clearing and grubbing is proposed, erosion controls will limit the amount of exposed soils to active work areas. When no longer active, work areas will be fully stabilized prior to proceeding to additional work phases. Soil stockpiles and disturbed portions of the Construction Project Area where construction will cease for more than 14 days shall be temporarily stabilized with hydroseed in order to prevent slope erosion. Hydroseed shall consist of wood fibers, seed fertilizer, and stabilizing emulsion and shall be applied at a rate of



17

eight pounds per 100 square feet. In winter (non-growing season), straw, jute netting and other commercially available matting shall be implemented on all exposed surfaces. Permanent Stabilization: Disturbed portions of the Subject Project Area where construction activities permanently ceases shall be stabilized by paving, placement of gravel, or planting as soon as practical, but no later than 14 calendar days of a temporary or permanent cessation of work. In winter (non-growing season), straw, spray on applications and other commercially available matting shall be implemented on all exposed surfaces.

2.5 Protect Slopes

Controls will be used to protect slopes from erosion from concentrated stormwater flow.

Slopes that will have concentrated stormwater flow will be protected using the BMPs depicted on the approved plan set and in accordance with RIDOT Standard Specifications Sections 202, 206 – 211, or any method approved of by the RIDOT Resident Engineer and the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit.

Control measures &/or methods that may be used to protect slopes include pipe slope drains, compost filter socks, fiber rolls, gravel bag berms, erosion control mats/blankets, and temporary vegetative cover.

BMP Description: Control matting shall be used on slopes 3:1 or steeper and in sloped planted areas subject to high wind exposure. Matting shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications. This matting shall serve to stabilize these steeper slopes and prevent erosion prior to the slope stabilization. The matting shall also assist in maintaining the soil moisture necessary to support dense vegetative plantings proposed for some of the steeper slopes. These dense plantings are proposed where environmental commitments require visual screening or where grass mowing would otherwise be difficult. On long cross slopes, compost filter socks shall be installed across the slope in order to intercept silt that flowed by the matting. The proposed filter socks as well as other blankets shall be properly staked to stabilize them and that the ends shall be overlapped a sufficient distance to prevent entrained sediment from bypassing the control. Installation Schedule: Matting shall be installed once the planted slopes have reached final grade. Maintenance and Inspection: The erosion control matting will be inspected weekly for erosion and immediately after storm events to determine if cracks, tears, or breaches have formed in the fabric; if so, the matting will be repaired or replaced immediately. Good contact with the soil must be maintained and erosion should not occur under the matting. Any areas where the matting is not in close contact with the ground will be repaired or replaced.

2.6 Protect Storm Drain Inlets

Storm drain inlet protection measures will be used to prevent soil and debris from entering storm drain inlets. These measures are usually temporary and are implemented before a site is disturbed. ALL stormwater inlets &/or catch basins that are operational during construction and may receive sediment-laden stormwater flow from the construction site must be protected using any of the BMPs outlined in the RIDOT Standard Specifications Section 209 – Storm Drain Protection, or any method approved of by the RIDOT Resident Engineer and the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit.

Control measures &/or methods that may be used include compost filter socks, fiber rolls, gravel bag berms, or catch basin inserts.

2.7 Protect Storm Drain Outfalls

Outfall protection will be used to prevent scour or severe erosion at discharge points. Outfalls often have high velocity, high volume flows, and require strong materials that will withstand the forces of the water. The function of these BMPs is to protect the soil surface, reduce velocity, and promote infiltration. Storm drain outlet BMPs also offer a last line of protection against sediment entering environmentally sensitive areas.

All stormwater outfalls that may discharge sediment-laden stormwater flow from the construction site must be protected.

Control measures &/or methods that may be used include compost filter socks, fiber rolls, gravel bag berms, or hay bales/silt fence.

BMP Description: Headwalls and flared ends shall be protected with baled hay or straw staked in place around the outlet in accordance with the construction details provided on the contract drawings and in accordance with RIDOT Standard 9.1.0. Installation Schedule: Baled Hay or straw shall be installed before construction activities begin on-site.

2.9 Retain Sediment On-Site and Control Dewatering Practices

Sediment traps, basins, and barriers are used to retain sediment on the site to protect streams, lakes, drainage systems, and adjacent property. These devices are used at the outlets of channels, diversions, and other runoff conveyance measures to allow sediment-filled water to pool and sediment to settle. These measures are often used as the last line of defense to stop sediment from leaving the site. The dewatering of non-contaminated non-stormwater (i.e. groundwater) or accumulated precipitation discharge of sediment-laden water into storm drains, streams, lakes or wetlands prior to sediment removal is prohibited. The dewatering of contaminated non-stormwater cannot be discharged without prior notice and approval from either the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) or the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC). Should dewatering of contaminated water be occurring on this construction project, appropriate permits will have been obtained, and will be included as part of the Contract Documents.

BMP Description: Storm drain outlet headwalls and flared ends shall be protected with sediment trap of baled hay or straw staked in place around the outlet in accordance with the construction details provided on the contract drawings and in accordance with RIDOT Standard 9.1.0. Installation Schedule: Baled Hay or straw shall be installed before construction activities begin on-site. Maintenance and Inspection: Baled Hay or straw will be inspected weekly and immediately after storm events to ensure that there are no gaps. If gaps or tears are found during the inspection, the baled hay or straw will be repaired or replaced immediately. Accumulated sediment will be removed and hauled off-site for disposal.

There are no dewatering activities required for the installation of the new bridge/utilities and the micro-milling and overlay of I-195 roadway.

2.10 Monitoring Weather Conditions

Care will be taken to avoid having unstabilized areas exposed during precipitation events. Weather forecasts will be routinely checked, and in the case of an expected precipitation event of over 0.25-inches over a 24-hour period, all BMPs will be inspected, and maintained as necessary, prior to the weather event.

In the case of an extreme weather forecast (greater than one-inch of rain over a 24-hour period), additional erosion/sediment controls will be installed where appropriate.

The weather station that will be utilized is Fox Point (KRIPROVI19)

2.11 Additional BMPs

BMP Description: Pavement cleaning and sweeping shall be applied in accordance with RIDOT Standard Specifications Section 931 to remove sediments and other contaminants from the paved surfaces.



21

Installation Schedule: Pavement cleaning and sweeping will occur weekly and before forecasted storm events on I-195 and ramps within the project limits. Maintenance and Inspection: All materials collected during pavement cleaning and sweeping will be disposed of at an off-site location by the contractor.

SECTION 3: GOOD HOUSEKEEPING BMPS RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section IV.E.2.c

The purpose of good housekeeping is to prevent daily construction activities from causing pollution.

Describe the key good housekeeping and pollution prevention measures that will be implemented to control pollutants in stormwater. Examples BMPs include the proper management of waste, material handling and storage, and equipment/vehicle fueling/washing/maintenance operations.

Include RIDOT Standard Specification or Standard Detail reference with maintenance requirements.

3.1 Off-site Tracking of Sediments

RIPDES Construction General Permit – IV.E.2.c.i

Any construction site access point will employ the BMPs depicted on the approved plan set and in accordance with RIDOT Standard Specifications Section 211 – Construction Accesses, or any method approved of by the RIDOT Resident Engineer and the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit. Construction accesses will be used in conjunction with the stabilization of construction roads to reduce the amount of mud picked up by construction vehicles. All RI STD 9.9.0 Construction Access roads will be constructed prior to any roadway accepting construction traffic.

If a Construction Access BMP is not designated on the plans, it is still the responsibility of the Operator to ensure that no sediment is tracked off of the construction site by any vehicles leaving the site. Additional control measures that may be used, upon approval, include a vehicle washing station and daily street sweeping.

The Operator will remain responsible for the clean-up of any mud or dirt that is tracked onto streets or paved areas, even with the installation of gravel construction entrances. Inspect access for excessive sediment build up. Remove sediment and rebuild the exit as necessary to retain effectiveness and prevent off-site tracking. Additional street cleaning may be required if unable to retain sediment on site.

BMP Description: Anti-tracking pads consisting of crushed stone and geogrid material shall be installed at the exits of the construction laydown area, as identified on the Site Plans, in accordance with RIDOT Standard 9.9.0 to prevent to prevent the off-site transport of sediment by construction vehicles. Additional anti-tracking pads will be installed at construction exit locations as requested by the RIDOT Resident Engineer. Installation Schedule: The stabilized exits will be installed before construction begins on the site. The anti-tracking pads will be placed on the pavement or gravel and will remain until all areas of the site have been stabilized. Maintenance and Inspection: The exits will be inspected weekly and after storm events or heavy use. The exits will be maintained in a condition that will prevent tracking or flowing of sediment onto I-195 and ramps within project limits. This could require adding additional crushed stone to the exit. All sediment tracked, spilled, dropped, or washed onto I-195 and ramps will be swept up immediately and hauled off-site for disposal. Sediment will be swept from the anti-tracking pad at least weekly, or more often if necessary. If excess sediment has clogged the pad, the exit will be top dressed with new crushed stone. Replacement of the entire pad might be necessary when the pad becomes completely filled with sediment. The pad will be reshaped as needed for drainage



23

and runoff control. Broken road pavement as a result of construction activities on roadways immediately adjacent to the project site will be repaired immediately. The removed stone and sediment from the pad will be hauled off-site for disposal.

3.2 Waste Disposal

Installation Schedule: The spill prevention and control procedures will be implemented once construction begins on-site.

Maintenance and Inspection: All personnel will be instructed, during tailgate training sessions, regarding the correct procedures for spill prevention and control. Notices that state these practices will be posted in the office trailer, and the individual who manages day-to-day site operations will be responsible for seeing that these procedures are followed.

3.4 Control of Allowable Non-Storm Water Discharges

RIPDES Construction General Permit – IV.E.2.c.iv

Non-storm water discharges must also be controlled to reduce the likelihood of contamination of the ‘clean’ water. Allowable discharges should be kept separate from stormwater flow through the use of BMPs.

For contaminated non-stormwater discharge(s), the requirements and regulations of the associated RIPDES individual permit or RIPDES Remediation General Permit must be adhered to at all times.

Any changes in construction activities that produce other allowable non-stormwater discharges will be identified, and the SWPPP will be amended and the appropriate erosion and sediment control will be implemented.

3.5 Establish Proper Building Material Staging Areas

RIPDES Construction General Permit – IV.E.2.c.v

Stock pile management consists of procedures and practices designed to minimize or eliminate the discharge of stockpiled material (soil, topsoil, base material, rubble) from entering drainage systems or water courses.

Stock piles will not be located within any of the constraint areas located on the “Constraint Map” (Section 1.12) and will be approved by the RIDOT Resident Engineer. They will have side slopes no greater than 30% and stockpiles of erodible material will be seeded and ringed with RI STD 9.1.0 to stabilize (or RIDOT approved equivalent: berms, dikes, fiber rolls, compost socks, sandbag, gravel bags).

If soil stockpiles are not stabilized with vegetation, then they must be securely covered at the end of each workday.

All chemicals and/or hazardous waste material must be stored properly and legally in covered areas, with containment systems constructed in or around the storage areas.

INSERT TEXT

3.8 Dust Control


Dust control procedures and practices will be used to suppress dust on a construction site during the construction process, as applicable. Precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind velocity and direction will determine amount and frequency of applications. However, the best method of controlling dust is to prevent dust production. This can best be accomplished by limiting the amount of bare soil exposed at one time. RIDOT Standard Specifications Section 907 – Dust Control – will be followed.



27

Dust Control methods may include watering, surface roughening, wind barriers, walls, and covers.

BMP Description: Dust from the site will be controlled in accordance with RIDOT Standard Specifications Section 907. Water and/or calcium chloride will be applied to disturbed areas. An average of one gallon of water per square yard of exposed area will be considered for each treatment. The exact number of applications and amount of water and/or calcium chloride shall be based upon field and weather conditions. Installation Schedule: Dust control will be implemented as needed once site grading has been initiated and during windy conditions (forecasted or actual wind conditions of 20 mph or greater) while site grading is occurring. The work shall be done upon order of the Resident Engineer. Maintenance and Inspection: At least one mobile unit will be available at all times to distribute potable water and/or calcium chloride to control dust on the project area. Each mobile unit will be equipped with a positive shutoff valve to prevent over watering of the disturbed area.

3.9 Sweeping


Sweeping of streets, roads, highways and parking lots that have accumulated significant amounts of pollutants (construction site sediment, trash, debris) will be done as necessary, or as directed by the RIDOT Resident Engineer. When construction exits are not keeping construction site sediment from the roadway, sweeping will be done on a daily basis. Disposal of collected sweeping material will follow RIDOT Standard Specifications Section 931 – Cleaning and Sweeping Pavement.

BMP Description: Anti-tracking pads consisting of crushed stone and geogrid material shall be installed at the exits of the construction laydown area, as identified on the Site Plans, in accordance with RIDOT Standard 9.9.0 to prevent to prevent the off-site transport of sediment by construction vehicles. Additional anti-tracking pads will be installed at construction exit locations as requested by the RIDOT Resident Engineer. Installation Schedule: The stabilized exits will be installed before construction begins on the site. The anti-tracking pads will be placed on the pavement or gravel and will remain until all areas of the site have been stabilized. Maintenance and Inspection: The exits will be inspected weekly and after storm events or heavy use. The exits will be maintained in a condition that will prevent tracking or flowing of sediment onto I-195 and ramps within project limits. This could require adding additional crushed stone to the exit. All sediment tracked, spilled, dropped, or washed onto I-195 and ramps will be swept up immediately and hauled off-site for disposal. Sediment will be swept from the anti-tracking pad at least weekly, or more often if necessary. If excess sediment has clogged the pad, the exit will be top dressed with new crushed stone. Replacement of the entire pad might be necessary when the pad becomes completely filled with sediment. The pad will be reshaped as needed for drainage and runoff control. Broken road pavement as a result of construction activities on roadways immediately adjacent to the project site will be repaired immediately. The removed stone and sediment from the pad will be hauled off-site for disposal.

SECTION 4: POST-CONSTRUCTION BMPs RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section IV.E.2.b

Post-Construction Best Management Practices are BMPs that are installed during the Construction Phase of a project to manage storm water flow after the construction project is completed.

Measures must be installed during the construction project to protect permanent or long term BMPs as they are installed so that they will function properly when they are brought online at the end of the construction phase.

Such long-term BMPs may include: infiltration basins, open vegetated swales and natural depressions, vegetated buffer strips, and detention/ retention structures. Controls may also be needed to prevent or minimize erosion at outfall locations or along the length of vegetated channels to reduce velocity flow from the structure to the receiving waters.

Control measures that may need to be implemented during the construction phase typically include measures to ensure proper installation of the long-term BMPs. Examples include: ensuring proper material staging areas, equipment routing (i.e. do not allow construction equipment to compact areas where infiltration BMPs will be installed), and final cleaning of structural BMPs before construction finalization.

4.1 Post-Construction BMPs

Post-construction BMPs are not proposed for this project as the majority of the project involves resurfacing existing roadway (I-195), replacing an existing bridge (No. 472) and associated improvements. There is no net increase of impervious areas at the project site.

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE and INSPECTIONS RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section IV.E.2.d

5.1 Maintenance

Maintenance procedures for erosion and sedimentation controls and stormwater management structures/facilities are described on the plans, in Section 212 of the RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction 2004 EDITION (as amended), and in the Stormwater Management Analysis documentation. As cited:

212.03 CONSTRUCTION METHODS. Erosion and pollution controls will be maintained by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Erosion and pollution controls must be able to prevent, under normal weather conditions, both the movement of soil materials and the intrusion of sediment-laden discharges into environmentally sensitive areas. Construction will not commence or continue until all specified erosion and pollution controls are in place, properly installed and accepted by the Engineer. Erosion and pollution controls will be routinely inspected by the Engineer. The Engineer will notify the Contractor immediately if problems develop. The Contractor will commence cleaning and maintenance measures no later than the next consecutive calendar day after receiving a directive from the Engineer to perform such measures. The Contractor will aggressively and expeditiously perform such cleaning and maintenance work until the original problem is remedied to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer. In the event of a weekend storm, the Contractor must have resources available to restore, and, if necessary, to replace any damaged controls.

The Contractor is required to have a full-time, on-site designated contact person responsible for working with the RIDOT Resident Engineer and the RIDOT designated Inspector to resolve SWPPP-related issues.

5.2 Inspections

RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section II.B & Section II.D Minimum Monitoring and Reporting Requirements All storm water control measures, disturbed areas, areas used for the storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation (including unstabilized soil stockpiles), discharge locations, and locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected at least once every seven (7) calendar days and within twenty-four (24) hours after any storm event which generates at least 0.25-inches of precipitation per twenty four (24) hour period and/or after a significant amount of runoff or snowmelt. An appropriate rain gauge (as identified in Section 2.4 of this SWPPP)) will be utilized for the determination of the storm events.

It is the responsibility of the RIDOT Resident Engineer to coordinate with the designated SWPPP Inspector listed in SECTION 8 of this document to initiate site inspections. Inspections will begin as soon as the Contractor is mobilized and on site.



31

General Notes

The RIDOT Designated Inspector will prepare a separate inspection report for each inspection.

The Inspection Reference Number will be a combination of the Construction Contract Number - consecutively numbered inspections. ex/ Inspection reference number for the 4th inspection of a project would be: 2011-AA-BBB-4

Each report will be signed and dated by the Inspector and forwarded to the Engineer within 24 hours of the inspection.

Each report will be signed and dated by the Engineer and forwarded to the Contractor’s designated representative.

Each report will be signed and dated by the Contractor upon receipt.

If Corrective Actions are required, the Contractor will initiate appropriate measures within 24 hours of receiving of the inspection report.

It is the responsibility of the RIDOT Resident Engineer to maintain a copy of the SWPPP, copies of all completed inspection reports, and amendments as part of the SWPPP documentation at the project field office during construction.

Submitting Reports to NRU The Inspector will submit all Inspection Reports to:

RIDOT Natural Resources Unit Two Capitol Hill, Rm. 323

Providence, RI 02903 At a minimum, the inspection reports must be submitted on a monthly basis, and must include:

A copy of each completed, dated, and signed inspection report

Associated photos – each photo should be dated and have a unique identification # and written description indicating where it is located within the project area. If a close up photo is required, it should be preceded with a photo including both the detail area and some type of visible fixed reference point. Photos should be annotated with Station numbers and other identifying information where needed.

A copy of the daily rainfall summary data for the month as reported by the selected rain gauge. One copy of the monthly inspection report will be printed double-sided (except for photo or plan sheet pages), and forwarded to the NRU by no later than the 10th of the month following the end of the reporting period. Content, frequency, &/or submission format of inspection reports may be changed with approval of the applicable Natural Resources Unit personnel for the Project. A copy of the inspection report is attached.

REFERENCE ATTACHMENT

5.3 Corrective Actions

RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section II.C If, in the opinion of the Engineer, corrective action is required, the Engineer will note it on the inspection report and will notify and direct the Contractor to take corrective action and make all necessary repairs whenever maintenance of the erosion and pollution controls is required. In accordance with the SWPPP and Section 212 of the RIDOT Standard Specifications, the Contractor will commence with the requisite cleaning and maintenance measures no later than the next consecutive calendar day after receiving such a directive from the Engineer, and will aggressively and expeditiously perform such cleaning and maintenance work until the original problem is remedied to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer. In accordance with the General Permit and the SWPPP, non-compliance issues will be addressed no later than seven (7) calendar days from the date of inspection. If the Engineer decides on any given day that those erosion and pollution controls specified in the Contract are not in place or have not been adequately maintained as specified in this Section, the daily charge set forth in Special Provision Code 212.1000 will be deducted from monies due the Contractor as a charge for failure to comply with this Specification. Moreover, the stated daily charge will continue each consecutive calendar day thereafter until the deficiencies noted have been corrected to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer.



33

SECTION 6: Amendments RIPDES Construction General Permit – Section IV.D This SWPPP is intended to be a working document. It is expected that amendments will be required throughout the construction of the project. Even if practices are installed on a site according to the approved plan, the site is only in compliance when erosion and sedimentation are effectively controlled throughout the entire site. The SWPPP will be amended whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, maintenance or other procedure which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants, or if the SWPPP proves to be ineffective in achieving its objectives (i.e. the selected BMPs are not effective in controlling erosion or sedimentation). All revisions must be recorded in the Record of Amendments Log Sheet within the SWPPP, and dated red-line drawings and/or a detailed written description must be appended to the SWPPP.

SWPPP Inspection Report

Instructions For all projects with one (1) acre or greater of soil disturbance, RIDOT is required to develop and enforce a Site-Specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in order to remain in compliance with the Rhode Island Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities (RIPDES Construction General Permit). As part of the SWPPP, a site-specific inspection report must be created and utilized.

Preparing the Inspection Report This inspection report template has been provided by RIDOT for the development of the site-specific SWPPP Inspection Report. It must be customized for each individual Project to meet the requirements of the RIPDES Construction General Permit. It is expected that this Inspection Report will be prepared as part of the preparation of the site-specific SWPPP. This inspection report template is designed to be customized according to the SWPPP document (initially) and then customized based on conditions at the site. Review the site-specific SWPPP and the Plans to develop the inspection report. On a copy of the site plan, number all stormwater BMPs and areas of the site that will be inspected. Include both structural (basins, outlet protection, swales, etc) and non-structural (construction entrances, perimeter barriers, trash areas, etc) BMPs and areas that will be inspected. Also identify all point source outfalls, areas of highly erodable soils, and the priority natural resource areas (i.e. streams, wetlands, mature trees, etc). List each BMP or area to be inspected separately in the site-specific BMP section of the inspection report. An appropriate rain gauge must be identified and utilized for the determination of the storm events. Rain gauges may be found on www.wunderground.com, www.nws.noaa.gov (or similar sites).

SWPPP Inspection Report Instructions for:

Resident Engineer

The RIDOT Resident Engineer (RE) must review the SWPPP and sign the Certification Statement for RIDOT Resident Engineer in Section 8. If the RE has any questions, contact the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit at 401-222-2023.

It is the responsibility of the RIDOT Resident Engineer to initiate contact with the Inspector to start the SWPPP Inspections BEFORE EARTHWORK BEGINS. The Inspector (typically a Consultant) will have been identified at the Pre-Construction meeting. Earthwork is NOT allowed to proceed until a SWPPP Inspection of the site has been completed.

After an Inspection has been performed, the RE must sign the ‘acknowledgement’ certification on Page 1 of the Inspection Report at time of receipt from the Inspector.

The RE must review the Inspection Report within 24-hours of receipt.

o If the RE agrees with the Inspection report, the RE must:

Fill out the “NOTICE TO CONTACTOR” box on the last page of the Report

Have the Contractor sign the ‘acknowledgement’ certification on Page 1

Make a copy of the Inspection Report with all 3 signatures for the Contractor’s use AND provide a copy to the Inspector

o If the RE disagrees with a corrective action item, the RE must:

Document objection with each item and provide justifiable reason in the inspection report. The contractor will not responsible for initiating corrective actions for such items. The RIDOT Natural Resources Unit will review such items if warranted.

Fill out the “NOTICE TO CONTACTOR” box on the last page of the Report

Have the Contractor sign the ‘acknowledgement’ certification on Page 1

Make a copy of the Inspection Report with all 3 signatures for the Contractor’s use AND provide a copy to the Inspector

It is the responsibility of the RIDOT Resident Engineer to maintain a copy of the SWPPP, copies of all completed & signed inspection reports, and amendments as part of the SWPPP documentation at the project field office during construction.



INSPECTORS

The RIDOT-designated inspector must sign the Certification Statement for RIDOT SWPPP Inspector in Section 8 of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

A separate inspection report will be prepared for each inspection.

Complete any items that will remain constant, such as the project information and BMP locations and descriptions. Then print out multiple copies (double-sided!) of this customized inspection report to use during the inspections.

The Inspection Reference Number shall be a combination of the Construction Contract Number - consecutively numbered inspections. ex/ Inspection reference number for the 4th inspection of a project would be: 2006-AA-BBB-4

Check the rain gauge for past & future weather data prior to inspection. Minimum Monitoring and Reporting Requirements

“…the site must be inspected at least once every seven (7) calendar days and within twenty-four (24) hours after any storm event which generates at least 0.25-inches of precipitation per twenty four (24) hour period and/or after a significant amount of runoff or snowmelt.” (RIPDES CGP)

When conducting the inspection, walk the site by following the site map and numbered BMPs locations for inspection. Also note whether the overall site issues have been addressed.

Associated photos – each photo should be dated and have a unique identification # and written description indicating where it is located within the project area. If a close up photo is required, it should be preceded with a photo including both the detail area and some type of visible fixed reference point. Photos should be annotated with Station numbers and other identifying information where needed.

For each inspection, the Inspector must determine if the Construction site is in compliance with the CGP, or not. The Inspector must check the appropriate check-box on Page 1 of the inspection report.

Each report must be signed and dated by the Inspector, and forwarded to the Engineer within 24-hours of the inspection.



INSPECTORS (continued)

The inspector will submit a Monthly Inspection Report to: RIDOT Natural Resources Unit, Two Capitol Hill, Rm. 323, Providence, RI 02903 At a minimum, the inspection reports must be submitted on a monthly basis, and must include:

A copy of each completed, dated, and signed inspection report

A copy of the daily rainfall summary data for the month as reported by the selected rain gauge (ex/ the monthly calendar from www.wunderground.com).

One copy of the Monthly Inspection Report will be printed double-sided (except for photo or plan sheet pages), and forwarded to the NRU by no later than the 10th of the month following the end of the reporting period.

Content, frequency, &/or submission format of inspection reports may be changed with approval of the applicable Natural Resources Unit personnel for the Project.



Contractor The Contractor must sign the ‘acknowledgement’ certification on Page 1 of the Inspection

Report at time of receipt from the Resident Engineer.

The RE will provide a copy of the signed Inspection Report to the Contractor.

The Inspection Report serves as your RIDOT directive to proceed with corrective actions.

In accordance with the SWPPP and Section 212 of the RIDOT Standard Specifications, the Contractor will commence with the requisite cleaning and maintenance measures no later than the next consecutive calendar day after receiving such a directive from the Engineer, and will aggressively and expeditiously perform such cleaning and maintenance work until the original problem is remedied to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer.

Progress on Corrective Action items will be documented by the Inspector in subsequent inspections.

Inspector, Resident Engineer, & Contractor Amendments The SWPPP shall be amended whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, maintenance or other procedure which has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants, or if the SWPPP proves to be ineffective in achieving its objectives. SWPPP Amendments may be recommended by any party, but all amendments must be approved by the Resident Engineer. The revision must be recorded in the Record of Amendments Log Sheet within the SWPPP, and dated red-line drawings and/or a detailed written description must be appended to the SWPPP. Inspection Forms must be revised to reflect all amendments by the Inspector. Questions Questions may be addressed to the RIDOT Natural Resources Unit, 2 Capitol Hill, Providence, RI 02903. 401-222-2023
