2.2 Storm Water Run-On from Offsite AreasThe Construction General Storm Water Permit requires (Section XIV.A.4) that the SWPPP address calculations and design details as well as BMP controls for site run-on.

The project site currently consists of …. The project will develop …. Current run-on and post construction run-on will (not) change as a result of this project.

2.3 Findings of the Construction Site Sediment and Receiving Water Risk Determination

A site risk analysis was conducted using the CGP’s Risk Determination Worksheet to determine the Risk Level for this project.

Project location and schedule information was used to determine the R-factor, K-factor, and LS-factor components for the project.

The EPA’s Rainfall Erosivity Calculator tool to calculate the project R-factor. R = xxx.xx

The project K-factor was obtained using the []. K = xx.xx

The project LS-factor was obtained using the []. LS = x.xx

The project erosion estimate (R*K*LS) is xx.xx tons per acre, which translates to a “low” Site Sediment Risk Factor.

The project site is located in the ___________Watershed. It drains to the ___________ which flows to the ___________. None of the downstream receiving waterbodies are on the 303(d) list or have a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for sediment. The project does not drain to a sediment impaired water body; therefore, it has a “Low” Receiving Water Risk.

The combination of a “Low” Site Sediment Risk Factor and a “Low” Receiving Water Risk results in a Risk Level 1 project.

The Risk Determination Worksheets are included in Appendix B.

2.4 Construction ScheduleEstimated Project Start Date: Month Day, Year

Estimated Project Completion Date: Month Day, Year

If the project completion date will need to be extended beyond the original end date, the Risk Level will need to be recalculated.

The Contractor shall provide a detailed schedule for the ground disturbing and BMP installation activities. Scheduled activities should include describe construction activities, and final stabilization. A detailed construction schedule should be placed in Appendix E.

2.5 Potential Construction Site Pollutant SourcesA list of potential pollutants and their respective sources is located in the following sections. This list should be used to identify any areas of the site where additional BMPs are necessary to


reduce or prevent pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges. The list identifies non-visible pollutants which are known, or should be known, to occur on the construction site. At a minimum, when developing BMPs, Client organization/company Name will do the following:

1. Consider the quantity, physical characteristics (e.g., liquid, powder, solid), and locations of each potential pollutant source handled, produced, stored, recycled, or disposed of at the site.

2. Consider the degree to which pollutants associated with those materials may be exposed to and mobilized by contact with storm water.

3. Consider the direct and indirect pathways that pollutants may be exposed to storm water or authorized non-storm water discharges.

4. Conduct an assessment of past spills or leaks, non-storm water discharges, and discharges from adjoining areas.

5. Ensure retention of sampling, visual observation, and inspection records.

6. Ensure effectiveness of existing BMPs to reduce or prevent pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges.

2.6 Identification of Non Storm Water DischargesAll efforts are to be made to minimize non-storm water discharges. On-site inspections will include observations for non-storm water discharges. Activities that may result in discharges will be monitored and controlled as needed.

Authorized non-storm water discharges include:

Discharges from fire-fighting activities.

Fire hydrant flushing.

Waters used to wash vehicles where detergents are not used.

Water used to control dust.

Potable water including uncontaminated water line flushing.

Routine external building wash down that does not use detergents.

Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate.

Uncontaminated ground water or spring water.

Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as solvents.

Uncontaminated excavation dewatering.


Landscape irrigation.

The discharge of non-storm water is authorized under the following conditions:

The discharge does not cause or contribute to a violation of any water quality standard.

The discharge does not violate any provision of the Construction General Storm Water Permit.

The discharge is not prohibited by the applicable Basin Plan

The SWPPP includes and implements BMPs required by the General Permit to prevent or reduce the contact of the non-storm water discharge with construction materials or equipment

The discharge does not contain toxic constituents in toxic amounts or (other) significant quantities of pollutants.

The sampling information is reported in the Annual Report.

If any of the above conditions are not satisfied, the discharge is not authorized by the General Permit and not permitted by this SWPPP. Notify the RWQCB of any anticipated non-storm water discharges not already authorized by the General Permit, the Phase II MS4 Permit, or another NPDES permit, to determine whether a separate NPDES permit is necessary.

2.6.1 Expected Non-Storm Water Discharges and Controls

Allowable non-storm water discharges anticipated to be encountered in this project include the following:

Fire Hydrant Flushing

In the event there is a need to flush the fire hydrant the person performing the operation will ascertain from the owner, contractor of the water line, or, fire department that there are no chemicals or other pollutants contained in the water. The flushed water will be diverted away from disturbed soils and into the storm drain system via a paved surface or lined channel so that erosion, scour and sediment laden discharges will be avoided. If chlorination is present, water will be dechlorinated prior to discharge. Contractor will place gravel bag check dams in the drainage swale to slow the velocity of the discharge. Contractor will verify that velocity dissipaters are installed, maintained and functioning prior to the discharge. Contractor will monitor discharged water and cease operations in the event sediment or other pollutants are being discharged as a result of the fire hydrant flushing.

Responsible party: Underground contractor, water department, fire department

Waters to Control Dust

Dust control will be implemented via a small diameter (3/4" to 1") fire or garden hose or with a water truck depending on the area being serviced when wind exceeds 15 MPH or when there is visible dust generated from the site. Water to be used for dust suppression shall be non-chlorinated. Water will be sprayed to avoid any surface run off. Any discharges from the property will be observed and operations ceased if levels of sediment in the discharge pose a negative impact on the drainage system or receiving waters.


Responsible party: QSP & all trades are responsible to control dust for their operations.

Potable Water Including Uncontaminated Water Line Flushing

Domestic water lines will be flushed prior to completion. The owner or contractor of the water line will confirm that there are no chemicals or other pollutants contained in the water. If water supply is chlorinated, dechlorination steps will be taken prior to discharge, most likely using dechlorination tablets. Most of the discharge will infiltrate into the ground due to the permeability of existing soils. Any run off will be diverted away from disturbed soils and into the storm drain system via a paved surface or lined channel so that erosion, scour and sediment laden discharges will be avoided. Contractor will place gravel bag check dams in the drainage swale to slow the velocity of the discharge. Contractor will verify that velocity dissipaters are installed, maintained and functioning prior to the discharge. Contractor will monitor discharged water and cease operations in the event sediment or other pollutants are being discharged as a result of the uncontaminated water line flushing. Prior to discharge from the site, potable water must be de-chlorinated.

Responsible party: Underground "wet" utility contractor

Routine external building wash downs without detergents

Building siding may be washed down prior to the application of paint.

The contractor will use the least amount of water possible to wash the buildings. Any residues including calking or adhesives will be removed and properly disposed of prior to the wash down. Contractor will use a spray nozzle that will shut off and stop the flow of water when not in use. Contractor will inspect inlet protection to be sure it is in place and functional prior to wash down. Sediment controls will be installed at the low end of the drainage swales in an area where it will prevent the water from discharging directly into the inlets. Inlets will be in place and functional.

Responsible party: Painting contractor

Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate

The discharges from air conditioning condensate is expected to be seasonal and at a minimum. Waters will be diverted into the landscaped and permeable areas so as not to be discharged into the storm drain system. The discharges will be monitored and if there is a chance of discharge to the storm drain system, BMPs will be installed to divert the water to a permeable area.

Responsible party: QSP

Landscape Irrigation

Irrigation water will be sprayed on permeable surfaces only. Landscape irrigation areas will be monitored to prevent over watering. Watering times and schedules will be adjusted in the event there is surface run off from the irrigated areas.

Responsible party: QSP & Landscape and irrigation contractor.


Any changes in construction that will produce other allowable non-storm water discharges will be identified. The SWPPP will be amended and the appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be implemented.

Compliance with the General Permit does not relieve the project of other potentially applicable discharge requirements of the various other plan requirements such as but not limited to the Basin Plan, ASBS, the Phase II MS4 Permit, or adopted TMDL allocations.

8 CONSTRUCTION SITE MONITORING PROGRAM (CSMP)8.1 IntroductionThis Construction Site Monitoring Program (CSMP) is a guide for the Client organization/company Name QSP and/or qualified individual(s) supervised by the QSP for monitoring and sampling procedures and instructions. This CSMP has been designed to meet Risk Level 1 requirements for the project title.

The QSP is to determine whether BMPs included in the SWPPP are effective and if immediate actions are needed and/or SWPPP revisions are necessary to reduce pollutants in storm water and authorized non-storm water discharges. The QSP is responsible for implementing the requirements of the CSMP from the commencement to the completion of construction activity. Additionally, the QSP must ensure the site is stabilized after all construction activity has been completed.

This CSMP was developed to address the following objectives:

To demonstrate that the site is in compliance with the Discharge Prohibitions of this General Permit.

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

To determine whether immediate corrective actions, additional Best Management Practice (BMP) implementation, or SWPPP revisions are necessary to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges.

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.

Revisions to the CSMP are the responsibility of Client organization/company Name and will be performed when any of the following occur:

Site conditions or construction activities change such that a change in monitoring is required to comply with the requirements and intent of the General Permit.

The RWQCB reviews the CSMP and requires revisions to be made.

The RWQCB requires additional CSMP requirements including sampling and analysis of discharges to CWA § 303(d)-listed water bodies.

8.1.3 General Provisions

A qualifying rain event is defined in the CGP as a rain event producing ½ inch or more of precipitation.

A minimum of 48 hours of dry weather will be used to distinguish between separate qualifying rain events.

Visual monitoring, inspections, and sample collection are not required under the following conditions:

o During dangerous weather conditions such as flooding and electrical storms

o Outside of scheduled site business hours.

If no required visual observations (inspections) or samples are collected due to these exceptions, include a written explanation (Exemption Record) in Appendix G-3 of the SWPPP and in the Annual Report. Each Exemption Record shall document the reasons why the visual monitoring, inspection, and/or sample collection was not conducted.

All completed forms (CSMP Checklists, Discharge Sampling Reports, and Exemption Records), and follow up actions shall be kept in the field copy of the SWPPP (Appendix G) throughout the duration of construction and for at least 3 years after NOT has been issued.

8.2 Visual Monitoring, Inspections, and Recording MethodsThe following sections describe the tasks required for each of the visual monitoring and inspections required in Section 8.1.1. The locations for each visual monitoring and inspection are described in Section 8.1.2 and shown in the CSMP Locations Map in Appendix G. All corrective actions shall be recorded as an attachment to the form on which they were identified. If identified deficiencies require design changes, including additional BMPs, the implementation of changes will be initiated within 72 hours of identification and be completed as soon as possible. When design changes to BMPs are required, the SWPPP shall be amended to reflect the changes.

8.2.1 Weekly BMP Inspection

Weekly inspections of all BMPs shall be conducted to:

Inspect all storm water drainage areas for the presence or absence of floating and suspended materials, a sheen on the surface, discolorations, turbidity, odors, and source(s) of any observed pollutants;


Identify any spills, leaks, or uncontrolled pollutant sources that have or may discharge from the site;

Inspect all BMPs;

Identify all BMPs that need maintenance to operate effectively;

Identify all BMPs that have failed;

Identify all BMPs that could fail to operate as intended;

Identify the need for additional BMPs;

If needed implement appropriate corrective action items to repair all BMPs that need maintenance or have failed (include updates in SWPPP); and

Inspect all locations of stored or contained storm water for the presence or absence of floating and suspended materials, a sheen on the surface, discolorations, turbidity, odors, and source(s) of any observed pollutants.

Weekly BMP inspections shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form. Weekly BMP inspections shall be performed once during each week throughout the project. All corrective action shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form or included as an attachment.

8.2.2 Quarterly Non-Storm Water Inspection

Quarterly inspections of each drainage area shall be conducted to:

Identify any presence or evidence of any non-storm water discharge for each drainage area (authorized or unauthorized);

Record pollutant characteristics (floating and suspended material, sheen, discoloration, turbidity, odor, etc.);

Identify source of discharge; and

If needed implement appropriate corrective action items to eliminate unauthorized non-storm water discharges and to reduce or prevent pollutants from contacting non-storm water discharges.

Quarterly BMP inspections shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form. Quarterly BMP inspections shall be performed once during each quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December) throughout the project.

8.2.3 Pre-Storm, During Storm, and Post-Storm Inspection

Pre-storm, during storm, and post-storm inspections shall be conducted to:

Inspect all storm water drainage areas for the presence or absence of floating and suspended materials, a sheen on the surface, discolorations, turbidity, odors, and source(s) of any observed pollutants;

Identify any spills, leaks, or uncontrolled pollutant sources that have or may discharge from the site;

Inspect all BMPs;


Identify all BMPs that need maintenance to operate effectively;

Identify all BMPs that have failed;

Identify all BMPs that could fail to operate as intended;

Inspect all locations of stored or contained storm water for the presence or absence of floating and suspended materials, a sheen on the surface, discolorations, turbidity, odors, and source(s) of any observed pollutants.

Pre-storm inspections shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form. Pre-storm inspections shall be performed within 48-hours prior to a predicted rain event with a 50% or greater probability of precipitation. The forecast shall be recorded from http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ and included as an attachment to the CSMP Checklist form. All corrective action shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form or included as an attachment.

During storm inspections shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form. During storm inspections shall be performed each day that rainfall occurs within an extended rain event. This applies to rain events which were predicted to have a 50% or greater probability of precipitation or have accumulated at least ½ inch of rain. All corrective action shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form or included as an attachment.

Post-storm inspections shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form. Post-storm inspections shall be performed within 48-hours following the conclusion of a qualifying rain event. A summary of precipitation for the entire qualifying rain event shall be included as an attachment to the CSMP Checklist form. All corrective action shall be recorded on the CSMP Checklist form or included as an attachment.

8.3 Sampling Collection and Recording Methods

8.3.1 Sampling Methods

The QSP shall be responsible for all sampling requirements. The QSP may designate and train another person to perform the sampling. Any person, besides the QSP, that will perform sampling should be listed below.

Type of Sampling Person to Perform Sampling Phone NumberNon-Visible Pollutant List person, default is QSP ###-###-####

All samples that require laboratory analysis should be take to TBD or a comparable lab. An example Chain of Custody (COC) for TBD is included in Appendix K. Records of all COCs shall be kept in Appendix K. Contact information for TBD is included below:

Insert Laboratory Name & Address


http://www.srh.noaa.gov/

All sample collected must meet the following conditions:

Samples shall be taken at all applicable discharge points shown on the CSMP Locations Map in Appendix G to effectively characterize the site conditions.

Rain event samples shall be collected during the first two hours of discharge from a qualifying rain event. If it is unclear whether or not the discharge is part of a qualifying rain event, a sample should still be taken.

Records of all analytical results from the project shall be kept in Appendix K of the SWPPP. Records shall be kept for at least three years after the NOT is issued.

Records shall include the method detection limits and reporting units, and the analytical techniques or methods used. Quality assurance/quality control records and results.

8.3.2 Non-Visible Pollutant Sampling

Non-visible pollutant sampling is required due to any breach, malfunction, leakage, or spill observed during a visual inspection which could result in the discharge of pollutants to surface waters that would not be visually detectable in storm water.

Non-visible pollutant samples collected must meet the following conditions:

Samples that are taken shall be analyzed for all non-visible pollutant parameters shown in Table 5, below.

A sample shall be collected of storm water that has not come in contact with the disturbed soil or the materials stored or used on-site (uncontaminated sample) for comparison with the discharge sample.

Compare the uncontaminated sample to the samples of discharge using field analysis or through laboratory analysis.

Potential Non-Visible Pollutants

Potential pollutants are shown in detail in Section 2.5. A summary of potential non-visible pollutants is shown in Table 5, below.
