i Introduction and Project Description
' 300.1 Introduction and Project Description
This project will create anew residential subdivision, consisting of 18 lots, 16 for single-
family homes and two open space lots. The site is located in the City of Carlsbad, County
of San Diego off of Black Rail Road, south of the intersection of Black Rail Road and
Poinsettia Lane and east of Black Rail Road. Reference numbers for the City of Carlsbad ' are CT 03-06, DWG. NO. 434.9A and DWG. NO. 434. The existing site is undeveloped
gently sloping terrain with the highest point at roughly an elevation 381 located near the
northwesterly corner of the property boundary. At the easterly property boundary a
I
moderate to steep slope to the lowest point of the site, located near the northeasterly corner
- of the property, to roughly an elevation of 318 hilly terrain, which drains into two large
drainage courses east of the site that ultimately flow into Batiquitos Lagoon. Associated
I drainage structures include a curb inlet at the eastend of the proposed cul-de-sac street
- (Zephyr Court) that will collect stormwater runoff and distribute it through a stormwater
media filtration device. When the runoff is filtered it will then drain out onto an energy
I dissipator at the toe of the eastern slope. Additional runoff is carried by D-75 brow ditches,
which drain to either curb outlets in Black Rail Road or energy dissipators at the eastern
end of the site. Public water and sewer mains will also be constructed in the new on site I street, Zephyr Court, and inspected by Carlsbad Municipal Water District.
1 300.2 Unique Site Features
An existing slope on the eastern portion of the site terminates at an existing drainage
I course, which will drain the majority of the site runoff. An open space lot will be dedicated
on the map to protect existing sensitive vegetation as well as the portion of the drainage
course at the eastern boundary of the site. Soil for this site has been classified as type D
I (please refer to map on next page)
300.3 Construction Site. Estimates -
The following are estimates of the construction site:
I Construction site area 5.26 acres
Percentage impervious area before construction 0 %
I Runoff coefficient before construction (1) 0.41

I Body of SWPPP
i 500.1 Objectives
This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has six main objectives:
Identify all pollutant sources, including sources of sediment that may affect the
quality of storm water discharges associated with construction activity (storm water
discharges) from the construction site, and
I . Identify non-storm water discharges, and
Identify, construct, implement in accordance with a time schedule, and maintain Best
I Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water
discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges from the construction site
I
during construction, and
Develop a maintenance schedule for BMPs installed during construction designed to
reduce or eliminate pollutants after construction is completed (post-construction I BMPs).
I . Identify a sampling and analysis strategy and sampling schedule for discharges from
construction activity which discharge directly into water bodies listed on Attachment
3 of the Permit (Clean Water Act Section 303(d) [303(d)] Water Bodies listed for
I Sedimentation).
For all construction activity, identify a sampling and analysis strategy and sampling
I - schedule for discharges that have been discovered through visual monitoring to be
potentially contaminated by pollutants not visually detectable in the runoff.
-
I This SWPPP conforms to the required elements of the General Permit No. CAS000002
issued by the State of California, State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). This
SWPPP will be modified and amended to reflect any amendments to the Permit or any
I changes in construction or operations that may affect the discharge of pollutants from the
construction site to surface waters, groundwaters, or the municipal separate storm sewer
system (MS4). The SWPPP will also be amended if it is in violation of any condition of the
I Permit or has not achieved the general objective of reducing pollutants in storm water
discharges. The SWPPP shall be readily available on-site for the duration of the project.

1 500.3.3 Nature of Fill Material and Existing Data Describing the Soil
Sedimentary formational units underlie site fills/topsoils at the property. The sedimentary ' units typically consist of fine to medium sandstone found in a general blocky and well-
cemented condition. A thin veneer of topsoil overlies site Terrace Deposits. Topsoils
consist of silty to clayey sand found in a general moist and blocky condition. Old fill soil
I occupies the original canyon terrain at the eastern margin of the site. Existing fill soils may
reach more than 30 feet in thickness and consist of sands and clays. Asphalt and concrete
I
debris up to 2 feet in diameter comprising up to 50% of the fill were encountered below 10
feet. Site existing fills and topsoils are not suitable for support of new fills, structures and
improvements in their present condition. Natural groundwater is not expected to impact
I project grading or the long-term stability of the developed site. (Vinje & Middleton
Engineering, Inc., Job No 03-236-P, sites Conditions listed from the Preliminary
Geotechnical Investigation May 22, 2003.)
I Existing site features that, as a result of past usage, may contribute pollutants to storm
water (e.g., toxic materials that are known to have been treated, stored, disposed, spilled,
or leaked onto the construction site) include:
I
NS-3, Old AC Paving to be removed as necessary per the project plans.
The use of farming related chemicals has left detectable amounts of toxic
materials in the soil. According to the Modified Phase 1 Environmental Site
I Report prepared by Vinje & Middleton Engineering, it was estimated that
roughly 1000 cubic yards of soil are impacted with elevated levels of
I organochlorine pesticides, which potentially pose inhalation and exposure
concerns. The report recommends that the affected areas be excavated to a depth
of one foot below the surface and then incorporated into the fill material (existing
I on site) during re-grading of the eastern boundary. Furthermore, it is stated that the soil must be heavily diluted with water to reduce fugitive dust. It is also
suggested that this operation be done during morning hours, as winds will be
I calm. Lastly, that a member of Vinje & Middleton be present during removal, so
as to collect samples for analysis, in order to confirm adequate removal of the
I
contaminated soil.
Remove all existing debris from site prior to the commencement of installing erosion
I
control measures, to ensure they do not contribute to site pollution.
500.3.4 Erosion Control
I Erosion control, also. referred to as soil stabilization, consists of source control measures
that are designed to prevent soil particles from detaching and becoming transported in

I storm water runoff. Erosion control BMPs protect the soil surface by covering and/or
binding soil particles. This project will incorporate erosion control measures required by
the contract documents, and other measures selected by the- Contractor. This project will
I implement the following practices for effective temporary and final erosion control during
construction:
1 1) Preserve existing vegetation where required and when feasible.
' 2) Apply temporary erosion control to remaining active and non-active areas as
required by the California Stormwater BMPs Handbook
- Construction, and the
contract documents. Reapply as necessary to maintain effectiveness.
I 3) Implement temporary erosion control measures at regular intervals throughout the
defined rainy season to achieve and maintain the contract's disturbed soil area
I requirements. Implement erosion control prior to the defined rainy season.
-
Stabilize non-active areas as soon as feasible after the cessation of construction
-
I activities.
-
Control erosion in concentrated flow paths by applying erosion control blankets,
erosion control seeding, and lining swales as required in the contract documents.
Apply seed to areas deemed substantially complete by the Owner during the
I defined rainy season.
- -
At completion of construction, apply permanent erosion control to all remaining
1 disturbed soil areas.
Sufficient erosion control materials will be maintained on-site to allow implementation in
I conformance with Permit requirements and described in this SWPPP. This includes
implementation requirements for active areas and non-active areas that require
I
deployment before the onset of rain.
Implementation and locations of temporary erosion control BMPs are shown on the Water
I Pollution Control Drawings (WPCDs) in Attachment B and/or described in this section.

Implementation of Erosion Control BMPs
I . BMPs will be deployed in a sequence to follow the progress of grading and
construction. As the locations of soil disturbance change, erosion and
I
sedimentation controls will be adjusted accordingly to control storm water
runoff at the downgrade perimeter and drain inlets. BMPs will be mobilized as
follows:
1 Year-round:
. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Manager (SWPPM) will monitor weather
I using National Weather Service reports to track conditions and alert crews to the
onset of rainfall events.
I . Disturbed soil areas will be stabilized with temporary erosion control or with
permanent erosion control as soon as possible after grading or construction is
i
complete.
During the rainy season:
I . Disturbed areas will be stabilized with temporary or permanent erosion control
I
before rain events.
0 Disturbed areas that are substantially complete will be stabilized with permanent
erosion control (soil stabilization) and vegetation (if within seeding window for
I seed establishment).
I
. Prior to forecast storm events, temporary erosion control BMPs will be deployed
and inspected.
During the non-rainy season:
The project schedule will sequence construction activities with the installation, of
both erosion control and sediment control measures. The construction schedule will be arranged as much as practicable to leave existing vegetation undisturbed
until immediately prior to grading.

1 500.3.5 Sediment Control
Sediment controls are structural measures that are intended to complement and enhance
the selected erosion control measures and reduce sediment discharges from active
construction areas. Sediment controls are designed to intercept and settle out soil particles
that have been detached and transported by the force of water. This project will
incorporate sediment control measures required by the contract documents, and other
measures selected by the Owner/Developer/Contractor.
I Sufficient quantities of temporary sediment control materials will be maintained on-site
throughout the duration of the project, to allow implementation of temporary sediment
I controls in the event of predicted rain, and for rapid response to failures or emergencies, in
conformance with other Permit requirements and as described in this SWPPP. This
includes implementation requirements for active areas and non-active areas before the
I onset of rain.
I Implementation and locations of temporary sediment control BMPs are shown on the
Water Pollution Control Drawings (WPCDs) in Attachment B. The BMP Consideration
Checklist in Attachment C indicates all the BMPs that will be implemented to control
sediment on the construction site; these are:

collected regardless of the time of the year, status of the construction site, or day of the
week.
All storm events that occur during daylight hours will be sampled up to a maximum of
four rain events within a 30-day period. In conformance with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency definition, a minimum of 72 hours of dry weather will be used to
distinguish between separate rain events.
Sampling Locations
Sampling locations are based on proximity to identified discharge or run-on location(s),
accessibility for sampling, personnel safety, and other factors in accordance with the
applicable requirements in the General Permit. Sampling locations are shown on the
WPCDs and include:
A sample location (designated number 1) is upstream of all direct discharge from the
construction site for the collection of a control sample to be analyzed for the
prevailing condition of the receiving water without any influence from the
construction site. The control sample will be used to determine the background
levels of Sedimentation/ Siltation in the 303(d) listed water-body upstream of the
project, if any.
Sample location number 1 is locatedat the northeast corner of the project site.
A sample location (designated number 2) is immediately downstream from the last
point of direct discharge from the construction site for the collection of a sample to
be analyzed for potential increases in Sedimentation/ Siltation in the 303(d) listed
water body caused by' the storm water discharged from the project, if any.
Sample location number 2 is located directly downstream of the storm drain
outf all.
One' sampling location(s) (designated number(s) 1) has been identified for the
collection of samples of run-on to the project site with the potential to combine with
discharges from the construction site in other than MS4 to the 303(d) water body.
These samples will identify potential Sedimentation/ Siltation that originates off the
project site and contributes to direct storm water discharges from the construction
site to the 303(d) listed water body.
Sample location number 1 is located at the northeast corner of the project site.

600.5. 7 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
For an initial verification of laboratory or field analysis, duplicate samples will be collected
at a rate of 10 percent or 1 duplicate per sampling event. The duplicate sample will be
collected, handled, and analyzed using the same protocols as primary samples. A
duplicate sample will be collected at each location immediately after the primary sample
has been collected. Duplicates will be collected where contamination is likely, not on the
background sample. Duplicate samples will not influence any evaluations or conclusions;
however, they will be used as a check on laboratory quality assurance.
600.5.8 Data Management and Reporting
A copy of all water quality analytical results and QA/QC data will be submitted to the
Owner/ Developer within 5 days of sampling (for field analyses) and within 30 days (for
laboratory analyses).
Lab reports and COGs will be reviewed for consistency between lab methods, sample
identifications, dates, and times for both primary samples and QA/QC samples. All data,
including COG forms and Sampling Activity Logs, shall be kept with the SWPPP.
600.5.9 Data Evaluation
An evaluation of the water quality sample analytical results, including figures with sample
locations, will be submitted to the Owner/Developer with the water quality analytical
results and the QA/QC data.

disturbing and re-stabilization activities. Incorporate the construction schedule into the
SWPPP.
Include on the schedule, details on the rainy season implementation and deployment of:
- Erosion control BMPs
- Sediment control BMPs
- Tracking control BMPs
- Wind erosion control BMPs
- Non-stormwater BMPs
- Waste management and materials pollution control BMPs
Include dates for activities that may require non-stonnwater discharges such as dewatering,
sawcutting, grinding, drilling, boring,, crushing,. blasting, painting, hydro-demolition, mortar
mixing, pavement cleaning etc.
Workout the sequencing and timetable for the start and completion of each item such as site
clearing and grubbing, grading, excavation, paving, foundation pouring utilities installation,
etc., to minimize the active construction area during the rainy season.
- Sequence trenching activities so that most open portions are closed before new
trenching begins.
- Incorporate staged seeding and re-vegetation of graded slopes as work progresses.
- Schedule establishment of permanent vegetation during appropriate planting time for
specified vegetation.
Non-active areas should be stabilized as soon as practical after the cessation of soil
disturbing activities or one day prior to the onset of precipitation.
Monitor the weather forecast for rainfall.
When rainfall is predicted, adjust the construction schedule to allow the implementation of
soil stabilization and sediment treatment controls on all 'disturbed areas prior to the onset of
rain.
Be prepared year round to deploy erosion control and sediment control BMPs. Erosion may
be caused during dry seasons by un-seasonal rainfall, wind, and vehicle tracking. Keep the
site stabilized year round, and retain and maintain rainy season sediment trapping devices
in operational condition.
Apply permanent erosion control to areas deemed substantially complete during the
project's defined seeding window.
Costs
Construction scheduling to reduce erosion may increase other construction costs due to reduced
economies of scale in performing site grading. The cost effectiveness of scheduling techniques
should be compared with the other less effective erosion and sedimentation controls to achieve a
cost effective balance.

Description and Purpose
Carefully planned preservation of existing vegetation minimizes
the potential of removing or injuring existing trees, vines,
shrubs, and grasses that protect soil from erosion.
Suitable Applications
Preservation of existing vegetation is suitable for use on most
projects. Large project sites often provide the greatest
opportunity for use of this BMP. Suitable applications include
the following:
a Areas within the site where no construction activity occurs, None
or occurs at a later date. This BMP is especially suitable to
multi year projects where grading can be phased.
a Areas where natural vegetation exists and is designated for
preservation Such areas often include steep slopes,
watercourse, and building sites in wooded areas.
a Areas where local, state, and federal government require
preservation, such as vernal pools, wetlands, marshes,
certain oak trees, etc. These areas are usually designated on
the plans, or in the specifications, permits, or
environmental documents.
a Where vegetation designated for ultimate removal can be .;:
temporarily preserved and be utilized for erosion control and
sediment control.

EC-2 Preservation Of Existing Vegetation
Limitations
Requires forward planning by the owner/developer, contractor, and design staff.
Limited opportunities for use when project plans do not incorporate existing vegetation into
the site design.
For sites with diverse topography, it is often difficult and expensive to save existing trees
while grading the site satisfactory for the planned development.
Implementation
The best way to prevent erosion is to not disturb the land. In order to reduce the impacts of new
development and redevelopment, projects may be designed to avoid disturbing land in sensitive
areas of the site (e.g., natural watercourses, steep slopes), and to incorporate unique or desirable
existing vegetation into the sites landscaping plan. Clearly marking and leaving a buffer area
around these unique areas during construction will help to preserve these areas as well as take
advantage of natural erosion prevention and sediment trapping.
Existing vegetation to be preserved on the site must be protected from mechanical and other
injury while the land is being developed. The purpose of protecting existing vegetation is to
ensure the survival of desirable vegetation for shade, beautification, and erosion control.
Mature vegetation has extensive root systems that help to hold soil in place, thus reducing
erosion. In addition, vegetation helps keep soil from drying rapidly and becoming susceptible to
erosion; To effectively save existing vegetation, no disturbances of any kind should be allowed
within a defined area around the vegetation. For trees, no construction activity should occur
within the drip line of the tree.
Timing
Provide for preservation of existing vegetation prior to the commencement of clearing and
grubbing operations or other soil disturbing activities in areas where no construction activity
is planned or will occur at a later date.
Design and Layout
Mark areas to be preserved with temporary fencing. Include sufficient setback to protect
roots.
- Orange colored plastic mesh fencing works well.
- Use appropriate fence posts and adequate post spacing and depth to completely support
the fence in an upright position.
Locate temporary roadways, stockpiles, and layout areas to avoid stands of trees, shrubs,
and grass.
Consider the impact of grade changes to existing vegetation and the root zone.
u Maintain existing irrigation systems where feasible. Temporary irrigation may be required.
Instruct employees and subcontractors to honor protective devices. Prohibit heavy
equipment, vehicular traffic, or storage of construction materials within the protected area.

Preservation Of Existing Vegetation, EC-2
Costs
There is little cost associated with preserving existing vegetation if properly planned during the
project design, and these costs may be offset by aesthetic benefits that enhance property values.
During construction, the cost for preserving existing vegetation will likely be less than the cost of
applying erosion and sediment controls to the disturbed area. Replacing vegetation
inadvertently destroyed during construction can be extremely expensive, sometimes in excess of
$10,000 per tree.
Inspection and l9diflLefldliLG
During construction, the limits of disturbance should remain clearly marked at all times.
Irrigation or maintenance of existing vegetation should be described in the landscaping plan. If
damage to protected trees still occurs, maintenance guidelines described below should be
followed:
Verify that protective measures remain in place. Restore damaged protection measures
immediately.
Serious tree injuries shall be attended to by an arborist.
Damage to the crown, trunk, or root system of a retained tree shall be repaired immediately.
: Trench as far from tree trunks as possible, usually outside of the tree drip line or canopy.
Curve trenches around trees to avoid large roots or root concentrations. If roots are
encountered, consider tunneling under them. When trenching or tunneling near or under
trees to be retained, place tunnels at least 1.8 in. below the ground surface, and not below the
tree center to minimize impact on the roots.
Do not leave tree roots exposed to air. Cover exposed roots with soil as soon as possible. If
soil covering is not practical, protect exposed roots with wet burlap or peat moss until the
tunnel or trench is ready for backfill.
Cleanly remove the ends of damaged roots with a smooth cut.
Fill trenches and tunnels as soon as possible. Careful filling and tamping will eliminate air
spaces in the soil, which can damage roots.
If bark damage occurs, cutback all loosened bark into the undamaged area, with the cut
tapered at the top and bottom and drainage provided at the base of the wood. Limit cutting
the undamaged area as much as possible.
Aerate soil that has been compacted over a trees root zone by punching holes 12 in. deep
with an iron bar, and moving the bar back and forth until the soil is loosened. Place holes 18
in. apart throughout the area of compacted soil under the tree crown.
Fertilization
- Fertilize stressed or.damaged broadleaf trees to aid recovery.
- Fertilize trees in the late fall or early spring:

i Hydroseeding EC-4
Description and Purpose
Hydroseeding typically consists of applying a mixture of wood
fiber, seed, fertilizer, and stabilizing emulsion with hydro-
mulch equipment, to temporarily protect exposed soils from
erosion by water and wind.
Suitable Applications
Hydroseeding is suitable for soil disturbed areas requiring
temporary protection until permanent stabilization is
established, and disturbed areas that will be re-disturbed
following an extended period of inactivity.
Limitations
Hydro seeding may be used alone only when there is
sufficient time in the season to ensure adequate vegetation
establishment and coverage to provide adequate erosion
control. Otherwise, hydroseeding must be used in
conjunction with mulching (i.e., straw mulch).
Steep slopes are difficult to protect with temporary seeding.
Temporary seeding may not be appropriate in dry periods
without supplemental irrigation.

EC-4 Hydroseeding
Implementation
In order to select appropriate hydro seeding mixtures, an evaluation of site conditions shall be
performed with respect to:
- Soil conditions - Maintenance requirements
- Site topography - Sensitive adjacent areas
- Season and climate - Water availability
- Vegetation types - Plans for permanent vegetation
The local office of the u.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an excellent
source of information onappropriate seed mixes.
The following steps shall be followed for implementation:
Avoid use of hydro seeding in areas where the BMP would be incompatible with future
earthwork activities and would have to be removed.
Hydroseeding can be accomplished using a multiple step or one step process. The multiple
step process ensures maximum direct contact of the seeds to soil. When the one step
process is used to apply the mixture of fiber, seed, etc., the seed rate shall be increased to
compensate for all seeds not having direct contact with the soil.
Prior to application, roughen the area to be seeded with the furrows trending along the
contours..
Apply a straw mulch to keep seeds in place and to moderate soil moisture and temperature
until the seeds germinate and grow.
All seeds shall be in conformance with the California State Seed Law of the Department of
Agriculture. Each seed bag shall be delivered to the site sealed and clearly marked as to
species, purity, percent germination, dealer's guarantee, and dates of test. The container
shall be labeled to clearly reflect the amount of Pure Live Seed (PLS) contained. All legume
seed shall be pellet inoculated. Inoculant sources shall be species specific and shall be
applied at a rate of 2 lb of inoculant per 100 lb seed.
Commercial fertilizer shall conform to the requirements of the California Food and
Agricultural Code. Fertilizer shall be pelleted or granular form.
Follow up applications shall be made as needed to cover weak spots and to maintain
adequate soil protection.
Avoid over spray onto roads, sidewalks, drainage channels, existing vegetation, etc.
Costs .
Average cost for installation and maintenance may vary from as low as $300 per acre for flat
slopes and stable soils, to $1600 per acre for moderate to steep slopes and/or erosive soils.

fertilized, and mulched within the planting season, using not less than half the original
application rates.
Irrigation systems, if applicable, should be inspected daily while in use to identify system
malfunctions and line breaks. When line breaks are detected, the system must be shut down
immediately and breaks repaired before the system is put back into operation.
Irrigation systems shall be inspected for complete coverage and adjusted as needed to
maintain complete coverage.

Description and Purpose
An earth dike is a temporary berm or ridge of compacted soil
used to divert runoff or channel water to a desired location. A
drainage swale is a shaped and sloped depression in the soil
surface used to convey runoff to a desired location. Earth dikes
and drainage swales are used to divert off site runoff around the
construction site, divert runoff from stabilized areas and
disturbed areas, and direct runoff into sediment basins or traps.

I - Divert sediment laden runoff into sediment basins or traps
Limitations
I Dikes should not be used for drainage areas greater than 10 acres or along slopes greater than 10
percent. For larger areas more permanent drainage structures should be built. All drainage
I
structures should be built in compliance with local municipal requirements.
Earth dikes may create more disturbed area on site and become barriers to construction
equipment
I m Earth dikes must be stabilized immediately, which adds cost and maintenance concerns.
I
Diverted stormwater may cause downstream flood damage.
Dikes should not be constructed of soils that may be easily eroded.
I . Regrading the site to remove the dike may add additional cost.
Temporary drains and swales or any other diversion of runoff should not adversely impact
I
.upstream or downstream properties.
Temporary drains and swales must conform to local floodplain management requirements.
I • Earth dikes/drainage swales are not suitable as sediment trapping devices.
It may be necessary to use other soil stabilization and sediment controls such as check darns,
I . plastics, and blankets, to prevent scour and erosion in newly graded dikes, swales, and
ditches.
I Implementation .. .
The temporary earth dike is a berm or ridge of compacted soil, located in such a manner as to
divert stormwater to a sediment trapping device or a stabilized outlet, thereby reducing the
I potential for erosion and offsite sedimentation. Earth dikes can also be used to divert runoff
from off site and from undisturbed areas away from disturbed areas and to divert sheet flows
away from unprotected slopes.
I An earth dike does not itself control erosion or remove sediment from runoff. A dike prevents
erosion by directing runoff to an erosion control device such as a sediment trap or directing
I
.runoff away from an erodible area. Temporary diversion dikes should not adversely impact
adjacent properties and must conform to local floodplain management regulations, and should
not be used in areas with slopes steeper than io%.
I Slopes that are formed during cut and fill operations should be protected from erosion by runoff.
A combination of a temporary drainage swale and an earth dike at the top of a slope can divert
runoff to a location where it can be brought to the bottom of the slope (see EC-ii, Slope Drains).
A combination dike and swale is easily constructed by a single pass of a bulldozer or grader and

i EC-9 Earth Dikes and Drainage Swales
Im Temporary stabilization may be achieved using seed and mulching for slopes less than 5%
and either rip-rap or sod for slopes in excess of 5%. In either case, stabilization of the earth
dike should be completed immediately after construction or prior to the first rain.
I z If riprap is used to stabilize the channel formed along the toe of the dike, the following
typical specifications apply:
Channel Grade Riprap Stabilization
0.5-1.0% 4 in. Rock
1.1-2.0% 6in. Rock
2.1-4.0% 8 in. Rock
4.1-5.0% 8 in.-.12 in. Riprap
The stone riprap, recycled concrete, etc. used for stabilization should be pressed into the soil
I with construction equipment.
Filter cloth maybe used to cover dikes in use for long periods.
I . Construction activity on the earth dike should be kept to a minimum.
Drainage Swales
I Drainage swales are only effective if they are properly installed. Swales are more effective than
dikes because they tend to be more stable. The combination of a swale with a dike on the
downhill side is the most cost effective diversion.
I Standard engineering design criteria for small open channel and closed conveyance systems
should be used (see the local drainage design manual). Unless local drainage design criteria
I - state otherwise, drainage swales should be designed as follows:
No more than 5 acres may drain to a temporary drainage swale.
I • Place drainage swales above or below, not on, a cut or fill slope.
Swale bottom width should be at least 2 ft
I • Depth of the swale should be at least 18 in.
I . Side slopes should be :i or flatter.
Drainage or swales should be laid at a grade of at least 1 percent, but not more than 15
I
percent.
The swale must not be overtopped by the peak discharge from a 10-year storm, irrespective
of the design criteria stated above.
Remove all trees, from-the stumps, obstructions, and other objectionable material swale
when it is built.
I • Compact any fill material along the path of the swale.

Is Stabilize all swales immediately. Seed and mulch swales at a slope of less than 5 percent,
'5 and use rip-rap or sod for swales with a slope between and 15 percent. For temporary
swales, geotextiles and mats (EC-7) may provide immediate stabilization.
I a Irrigation may be required to establish sufficient vegetation to prevent erosion.
I
Do not operate construction vehicles across aswale unless a stabilized crossing is provided.
Permanent drainage facilities must be designed by a professional engineer (see the local
drainage design criteria for proper design).
I . At a minimum, the drainage swale should conform to predevelopment drainage patterns and
capacities.

i Velocity Dissipation Devices EC-l0
Description and Purpose
Outlet protection is a physical device composed of rock, grouted
riprap, or concrete rubble, which is placed at the outlet of a pipe
or channel to prevent scour of the soil caused by concentrated,
high velocity flows.
Suitable Applications
Whenever discharge velocities and energies at the outlets of
culverts, conduits, or channels are sufficient to erode the next
downstream reach. This includes temporary diversion
structures to divert runon during construction.
These devices maybe used at the following locations:
- Outlets of pipe, drains, culverts, slope drains, diversion
ditches, swales, conduits, or channels.
- Outlets located at the bottom of mild to steep slopes.
- Discharge outlets that carry continuous flows of water.
- Outlets subject to short, intense flows of water, such as
flash floods.
- Points where lined conveyances discharge to unlined
conveyances
Limitations .It
a Large storms or high flows can wash away the rock outlet
protection and leave the area susceptible to erosion.

Sediment captured by the rock outlet protection may be difficult to remove without
removing the rock.
Outlet protection may negatively impact the channel habitat.
Grouted riprap may breakup in areas of freeze and thaw.
If there is not adequate drainage, and water builds up behind grouted riprap, it may cause
the grouted riprap to break up due to the resulting hydrostatic pressure.
Implementation
General -
Outlet protection is needed where discharge velocities and energies at the outlets of culverts,
conduits or channels are sufficient to erode the immediate downstream reach. This practice
protects the outlet from developing small eroded pools (plange pools), and protects against gully
erosion resulting from scouring at a culvert mouth.
Design and Layout
As with most channel design projects, depth of flow, roughness, gradient, side slopes, discharge
rate, and velocity Should be considered in the outlet design. Compliance to local and state
regulations should also be considered while working in environmentally sensitive streambeds.
General recommendations for rock size and length of outlet protection mat are shown in the
rock outlet protection figure in this BMP and should be considered minimums. The apron
length and rock size gradation are determined using a combination of the discharge pipe
diameter and estimate discharge rate: Select the longest apron length and largest rock size
suggested by the pipe size and -discharge rate. Where flows are conveyed in open channels such
as ditches and swales, use the estimated discharge rate for selecting the apron length and rock
size. Flows should be same as the culvert or channel design flow but never the less than the
peak 5 year flow for temporary structures planned for one rainy season, or the 10 year peak flow
for temporary structures planned for two or three rainy seasons.
There are many types of energy dissipaters, with rock being the one that is represented in,
the attached figure.
Best results are obtained when sound, durable, and angular rock is used.
I • Install riprap, grouted riprap, or concrete apron at selected outlet. Riprap aprons are best
suited for temporary use during construction. Grouted or wired tied rock riprap can
minimize maintenance requirements.
ro Rock outlet protection is usually less expensive and easier to install than concrete aprons or
energy dissipaters. It also serves to trap sediment and reduce flow velocities.
I is Carefully place riprap to avoid damaging the filter fabric.
- Stone 4 in. to 6 in. may be carefully dumped onto filter fabric from a height not to exceed
I 12 in.
- Stone 8 in. to 12 in. must be hand placed onto filter fabric, or the filter fabric may be
covered with 4 in. of gravel and the.8 in, to 12 in. rock may be dumped from a height not I to exceed 16 in.

I - Stone greater than 12 in. shall only be dumped onto filter fabric protected with a layer of
gravel with a thickness equal to one half the D50 rock size, and the dump height limited to
twice the depth of the gravel protection layer thickness.
I m For proper operation of apron: Align apron with receiving stream and keep straight
throughout its length. If a curve is needed to fit site conditions, place it in upper section of
apron.
Outlets on slopes steeper than 10 percent should have additional protection.
Costs
Costs are low if material is readily available. If material is imported, costs will be higher.
Average installed cost is $150 per device.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect BMPs prior to forecast rain, daily during extended rain events, after rain events,
weekly during the rainy season, and at two-week intervals during the non-rainy season.
Inspect BMPs subjected to non-stormwater discharges daily while non-stormwater
discharges occur.
Inspect apron for displacement of the riprap and damage to the underlying fabric. Repair
fabric and replace riprap that has washed away. If riprap continues to wash away, consider
using larger material. -
Inspect for scour beneath the riprap and around the outlet. Repair damage to slope's or
underlying filter fabric immediately.
Temporary devices should be completely removed as soon as the surrounding drainage area
has been stabilized or at the completion of construction.

Water Conservation Practices NS-1
I
I
El
Description and Purpose
Water conservation practices are activities that use water
during the construction of a project in a manner that avoids
causing erosion and the transport of pollutants offsite. These
practices can reduce or eliminate non-stormwater discharges.
Suitable Applications
Water conservation practices are suitable for all construction
sites where water is used, including piped water, metered
water, trucked water, and water from a reservoir.
Limitations
None identified.
Implementation
Keep water equipment in good working condition.
Stabilize water truck filling area.
Repair water leaks promptly.
Washing of vehicles and equipment on the construction site
is discouraged.
Avoid using water to clean construction areas. If water
must be used for cleaning or surface preparation, surface
should be swept and vacuumed first to remove dirt This will
minimize amount of water required.

I NS-3 Paving and Grinding Operations
I i Protect drainage courses, particularly in areas with a grade, by employing BMPs to divert
runoff or to trap and filter sediment.
i If paving involves an onsite mixing plant, follow the stormwater permitting requirements for
industrial activities.
I i Stockpile material removed from roadways away from drain inlets, drainage ditches, and
watercourses, These materials should be stored consistent with WM-3, Stockpile
Management.
Disposal of PCC and AC waste should be in conformance with WM-8, Concrete Waste
Management.
Saw Cutting, Grinding, and Pavement Removal
Shovel or vacuum saw-cut slurry and remove from site. Cover or barricade storm drains
during saw cutting to contain slurry.
When paving involves AC, the following steps should be implemented to prevent the
discharge of grinding residue, uncompacted or loose AC, tack coats, equipment cleaners, or
unrelated paving materials: -
AC grindings, pieces, or chunks used in embankments or shoulder backing must not be
allowed to enter any storm drains or watercourses. Install silt fence until structure is
stabilized or permanent controls are in place. Examples of temporary perimeter controls
can be found in EC-9, Earth Dikes and Drainage Swales; SE-1, Silt Fence; or SE-5, Fiber
Rolls.
- Collect and remove all broken asphalt and recycle when practical. Old or spilled asphalt
must be recycled or disposed. -
- Any AC chunks and pieces used in embankments must be placed abovethe water table
and covered by at least i ft of material.
Do not allow saw-cut slurry to enter storm drains orwatercourses. Residue from grinding
operations should be picked up by means of a vacuum attachment to the grinding machine,
should not be allowed to flow across the pavement, and should not be left on the surface of
the pavement. See also WM-8, Concrete Waste Management; and WM-io, Liquid Waste
Management.
Dig out activities should not be conducted in the rain.
Collect dig out material by mechanical or manual methods. This material may be recycled
for use as shoulder backing or base material.
If dig out material cannot be recycled, transport the material back to an approved storage
site.
Asphaltic Concrete Paving -

and return-to aggregate base stockpile or dispose of properly.
Allow aggregate rinse to settle. Then, either allow rinse water to dry in a temporary pit as
described in WM-8, Concrete Waste Management, or pump the water to the sanitary sewer
I if allowed by the local wastewater authority.
Sealing Operations
I • During chip seal application and sweeping operations, petroleum or petroleum covered
aggregate must not be allowed to enter any storm drain or watercourses. Apply temporary
perimeter controls until structure is stabilized.
I • Drainage inlet structures and manholes should be covered with filter fabric-during
application of seal coat, tack coat, slurry seal, and fog seal.
I • Seal coat, tack coat, slurry seal, or fog seal should not be applied if rainfall is predicted to
occur during the application or curing period.
I Paving Equipment
Leaks and spills from paving equipment can contain toxic levels of heavy metals and oil and
grease.. Place drip pans or absorbent materials under paving equipment when not muse.
I . . Clean up spills with absorbent materials rather than burying. See NS-1o, Vehicle and
Equipment Maintenance, WM-4, Spill Prevention and Control, and WM-io, Liquid Waste
Management. . S
Substances used to coat asphalt transport trucks, and asphalt spreading equipment should
not contain soap and should be non-foaming and non-toxic.
I • Use only non-toxic substances to coat asphalt transport trucks and asphalt spreading
equipment.
I r • Paving equipment parked onsite should be parked over plastic to prevent soil
contamination.
S
I • Clean asphalt coated equipment offsite whenever possible. When cleaning dry, hardened
asphalt from equipment, manage hardened asphalt debris as described in WM-5, Solid
Waste Management. Any cleaning onsite should follow NS-8, Vehicle and Equipment

Targeted Constituents
Description and Purpose
Vehicle and equipment cleaning procedures and practices
eliminate or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater
from vehicle and equipment cleaning operations. Procedures
I and practices include but are not limited to: using offsite
facilities; washing in designated, contained areas only;
eliminating discharges to the storm drain by infiltrating the
wash water; and training employees and subcontractors in
proper cleaning procedures.
Suitable Applications
These procedures are suitable on all construction sites where
vehicle and equipment cleaning is performed.
Limitations
Even phosphate-free, -biodegradable soaps have been shown to
be toxic to fish before the soap degrades. Sending
vehicles/equipment offsite should be done in conjunction with
TR-1, Stabilized Construction Entrance/Exit.
Implementation
Other options to washing equipment onsite include contracting -
with either an offsite or mobile commercial washing business.
These businesses may be better equipped to handle and dispose
of the wash waters properly. Performing this work offsite can
also be economical by eliminating the need for a separate washing
operation onsite.

i NS-8 Vehicle and Equipment Cleaning
.Use phosphate-free, biodegradable soaps.
Educate employees and subcontractors on pollution prevention measures.
Do not permit steam cleaning onsite. Steam cleaning can generate significant pollutant
concentrates.
I . Cleaning of vehicles and equipment with soap, solvents or steam should not occur on the
project site unless resulting wastes are fully contained and disposed of. Resulting wastes
should not be discharged or buried, and must be captured and recycled or disposed
I according to the requirements of WM-io, Liquid Waste Management or WM-6, Hazardous
Waste Management, depending on the waste characteristics. Minimize use of solvents. Use
of diesel for vehicle and equipment cleaning is prohibited.
All vehicles and equipment that regularly enter and leave the construction site must be
cleaned offsite. -
I • When vehicle and equipment washing and cleaning must occur onsite, and the operation
cannot be located within a structure or building equipped with appropriate disposal
facilities, the outside cleaning area should have the following characteristics:
- Located away from storm drain inlets, drainage facilities, or watercourses
- Paved with concrete or asphalt and bermed to contain wash waters and to prevent runon
and runoff
- Configured with a sump to allow collection and disposal of wash water
- No discharge of wash waters to storm drains or watercourses
- Used only when necessary
When cleaning vehicles and equipment with water:
- Use as little water as possible. High-pressure sprayers may use less water than a hose
and should be considered
I - Use positive shutoff valve to minimize water usage
- Facility wash racks should discharge to a sanitary sewer, recycle system or other
I approved discharge system and must not discharge to the storm drainage system,
watercourses, or to groundwater
I Costs
-
Cleaning vehicles and equipment at an offMte facility may reduce overall costs for vehicle and
equipment cleaning by eliminating the need to provide similar services onsite. When onsite
I cleaning is needed, the cost to establish appropriate facilities is relatively low on larger, long-
duration projects, and moderate to high on small, short-duration projects

I Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance NS-10
Description and Purpose
Prevent or reduce the contamination of stormwater resulting
from vehicle and equipment maintenance by running a "dry
and clean site". The best option would be to perform
maintenance activities at an offsite facility. If this option is not
available then work should be performed in designated areas
only, while providing cover for materials stored outside,
checking for leaks and spills, and containing and cleaning up
spills immediately. Employees and subcontractors must be
trained in proper procedures.
Suitable Applications
These procedures are suitable on all construction projects
where an onsite yard area is necessary for storage and
maintenance of heavy equipment and vehicles.
Limitations
Onsite vehicle and equipment maintenance should only be used
where it is impractical to send vehicles and equipment offsite
I for maintenance and repair. Sending vehicles/equipment
offsite should be done in conjunction with TR-1, Stabilized
Co nstructio n Entrance/Exit.-
Outdoor vehicle or equipment maintenance is a potentially
significant source of stormwater pollution. Activities that can
contaminate stormwater include engine repair and service,
I - changing or replacement of fluids, and outdoor equipment storage
and parking (engine fluid leaks). For further information on
vehicle or equipment servicing, see NS-8, Vehicle and Equipment
1 Cleaning, and NS-9, Vehicle and Equipment Fueling.

If maintenance must occur onsite, use designated areas, located away from drainage courses.
I Dedicated maintenance areas should be protected from stormwater runon and runoff, and
should be located at least 50 ft from downstream drainage facilities and watercourses.
Drip pans or absorbent pads should be used during vehicle and equipment maintenance
I work that involves fluids, unless the maintenance work is performed over an impermeable
surface in a dedicated maintenance area.
Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible.

Safer Alternative Products
Consider products that are less toxic or hazardous than regular products. These products
are often sold under an "environmentally friendly" label.
I • Consider use of grease substitutes for lubrication of truck fifth-wheels. Follow
manufacturers label for details on specific uses.
I . Consider use of plastic friction plates on truck fifth-wheels in lieu of grease. Follow
manufacturers label for details on specific uses.
I Waste Reduction -
Parts are Often cleaned using solvents such as trichloroethylene, trichlo ro ethane, or methylene
chloride. Many of these cleaners are listed in California Toxic Rule as priority pollutants. These
I materials are harmful and must not contaminate stormwater. They must be disposed of as a
hazardous waste. Reducing the number of solvents makes recycling easier and reduces
hazardous waste management costs. Often, one solvent can perform ajob as well as two
I different solvents. Also, if possible, eliminate or reduce the amount of hazardous materials and
waste by substituting non-hazardous or less hazardous materials. For example, replace
chlorinated organic solvents with non-chlorinated solvents. Non-chlorinated solvents like
I
kerosene or mineral spirits are less toxic and less expensive to dispose of properly. Check the
list of active ingredients to see whether it contains chlorinated solvents. The "chlor" term
indicates that the solvent is chlorinated. Also, try substituting a wire brush for solvents to clean
I
parts.
Recycling and Disposal
Separating wastes allows for easier recycling and may reduce disposal costs. Keep hazardous
I wastes separate, do not mix used oil solvents, and keep chlorinated solvents (like,-
trichloroethane) separate from non-chlorinated solvents (like kerosene and mineral spirits).
Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums. Don't leave full drip pans
I or other open containers lying around. Provide cover and secondary containment until these
materials can be removed from the site.
I Oil filters can be recycled. Ask your oil supplier or recycler about recycling oil filters.
Do not dispose of extra paints and coatings by dumping liquid onto the ground or throwing it
I into dumpsters. Allow coatings to dry or harden before disposal into covered dumpsters.
Store cracked batteries in a non-leaking secondary container. Do this with all cracked batteries,
even if you think all the acid has drained out. If you drop a battery, treat it as if it is cracked.
I Put it into the containment area until you are sure it is not leaking.
Costs -
I All of the above are low cost measures. Higher costs are incurred to setup and maintain onsite
maintenance areas.

Hazardous chemicals such as acids, lime, glues, adhesives, paints, solvents, and curing
compounds
Concrete compounds
Other materials that may be detrimental if released to the environment
Limitations
Space limitation may preclude indoor storage.
Storage sheds often must meet building and fire code requirements.
Implementation
The following steps should be taken to minimize risk:
Temporary storage area should be located away from vehicular traffic.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all materials stored.
Construction site areas should be designated for material delivery and storage.
Material delivery and storage areas should be located near the construction entrances, away
from waterways, if possible.
- Avoid transport near drainage paths or waterways.
- Surround with earth berms. See EC-9, Earth Dikes and Drainage Swales.
- Place in an area which will be paved.
Storage of reactive, ignitable, or flammable liquids must comply with the fire codes of your
area. Contact the local Fire Marshal to review site materials, quantities, and proposed
storage area to determine specific requirements. See the Flammable and Combustible
Liquid Code, NFPA3o.
. An up to date inventory of materials delivered and stored onsite should be kept
Hazardous materials storage onsite should be minimized.
Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible.
During the rainy season, consider storing materials in a covered area. Store materials in
secondary containments such as earthen dike, horse trough, or even a children's wading pool
for non-reactive materials such as detergents, oil, grease, and paints. Small amounts of
material may be secondarily contained in bus boy" trays or concrete mixing trays.
Do not store chemicals, drums, or bagged materials directly on the ground. Place these
items on a pallet and, when possible, in secondary containment.

i Material Delivery and Storage WM-1
I . If drums must be kept uncovered, store them at a slight angle to reduce ponding of rainwater
on the lids to reduce corrosion. Domed plastic covers are inexpensive and snap to the top of
drums, preventing water from collecting.
Chemicals should be kept in their original labeled containers.
I practices.
. Employees and subcontractors should be trained on the proper material delivery and storage
Employees trained in emergency spill cleanup procedures must be present when dangerous
I materials or liquid chemicals are unloaded.
If significant residual materials remain on the ground after construction is complete,
properly remove materials and any contaminated soil. See WM-7, Contaminated Soil I Management. If the area is to be paved, pave as soon as materials are removed to stabilize
the soil
Material Storage Areas and Practices
Liquids, petroleum products, and substances listed in 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, or 302 should
be stored in approved containers and drums and should not be overfilled. Containers and
drums should be placed in temporary containment facilities for storage.
A temporary containment facility should provide for a spill containment volume able to
I contain precipitation from a 25 year storm event, plus the greater of io% of the aggregate
volume of all containers or i00% of the capacity of the largest container within its boundary,
whichever is greater.
I • A temporary containment facility should be impervious to the materials stored therein for a
minimum contact time of 72 hours.
1 . A temporary containment facility should be maintained free of accumulated rainwater-and
spills. In the event of spills or leaks, accumulated rainwater and spills should be collected
and placed into drums. These liquids should be handled as a hazardous waste unless testing
I determines them to be non-hazardous. All collected liquids or non-hazardous liquids should
be sent to an approved disposal site.
Sufficient separation should be provided between stored containers to allow for spill cleanup
and emergency response access.
Im Incompatible materials, such as chlorine and ammonia, should not be stored in the same
temporary containment facility.
I
• Throughout the rainy season, each temporary containment facility should be covered during
non-working days, prior to, and during rain events,
I
. Materials should be stored in their original containers and the original product labels should
be maintained in place in a legible condition. Damaged or otherwise illegible labels should
be replaced immediately.

i WM-1 Material Delivery and Storage
I . Bagged and boxed materials should be stored on pallets and should not be allowed to
accumulate on the ground. To provide protection from wind and rain throughout the rainy
season, bagged and boxed materials should be covered during non-working days and prior to
- and during rain events.
• Stockpiles should be protected in accordance with WM-3, Stockpile Management.
I • Materials should be stored indoors within existing structures or sheds when available.
• Proper storage instructions should be posted at all times in an open and conspicuous
I location.
• An ample supply of appropriate spill clean up material should be kept near storage areas.
• Also see WM-6, Hazardous Waste Management, for storing of hazardous materials.
Material Delivery Practices
Keep inventory delivered an accurate, up-to-date of material and stored onsite.
•
I dangerous
Arrange for employees trained in emergency spill cleanup procedures to be present when
materials or liquid chemicals are unloaded.
Spill Cleanup
I • Contain and clean up any spill immediately.
• Properly remove and dispose of any hazardous materials or contaminated soil if significant
I residual materials remain on the ground after construction is complete. See WM-7,
Contaminated Soil Management.
See WM-4, Spill Prevention and Control, for spills of chemicals and/or hazardous materials.
Cost
The largest cost of implementation maybe in the construction of a materials storage area
that is covered and provides secondary containment.
Inspection and Maintenance
-
Inspect and verify that activity—based BMPs are in place prior to the commencement of
associated activities. While activities associated with the BMP are under way, inspect weekly
during the rainy season and of two-week intervals in the non-rainy season to verify

Keep an ample supply of spill cleanup materials near the storage area.
Keep storage areas clean, well organized, and equipped with ample cleanup supplies as
appropriate for the materials being stored.
Repair or replace perimeter controls, containment structures, covers, and liners as needed to
maintain proper function.

The following steps should be taken to minimize risk:
Minimize use of hazardous materials onsite.
Follow manufacturer instructions regarding uses, protective equipment, ventilation,
I flammability, and mixing of chemicals. -
Train personnel who use pesticides. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation and
I county agricultural commissioners license pesticide dealers, certify pesticide applicators,
and conduct onsite inspections.
I . Do not over-apply fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Prepare only the amount needed.
Follow the recommended usage instructions. Over-application is expensive and
environmentally harmful. Unless on steep slopes, till fertilizers into the soil rather than
I
hydro seeding. Apply surface dressings in several smaller applications, as opposed to one
large application, to allow time for infiltration and to avoid excess material being carried
offsite by runoff. Do not apply these chemicals just before it rains.
Train employees and subcontractors in proper material use.
Supply Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials.
Dispose of latex paint and paint cans, used brushes, rags, absorbent materials, and drop
cloths, when thoroughly dry and are no longer hazardous, with other construction debris.
1 . Do not remove the original product label; it contains important safety and disposal
information. Use the entire product before disposing of the container.
Mix paint indoors. or in a containment area. Never clean paintbrushes or rinse paint
containers into a street, gutter, storm drain, or watercourse. Dispose of any paint thinners,
I
residue, and sludge(s) that cannot be recycled, as hazardous waste.
. For water-based paint, clean brushes to the extent practicable, and rinse to a drain leading to
a sanitary sewer where permitted, or into a concrete washout pit or temporary sediment
I trap. For oil-based paints, clean brushes to the extent practicable, and filter and reuse
thinners and solvents.
I . Use recycled and less hazardous products when practical. Recycle residual paints, solvents,
non-treated lumber, and other materials.

Limitations
. In some cases it may be necessary to use a private spill cleanup company.
• This BMP applies to spills caused by the contractor and subcontractors.
I . Procedures and practices presented in this BMP are general. Contractor should identify
appropriate practices for the specific materials used or stored onsite
I Implementation
The following steps will help reduce the stormwater impacts of leaks and spills:
I Education
Be aware that different materials pollute in different amounts. Make sure that each
- employee knows what a "significant spill" is for each material they use, and what is the
1 appropriate response for "significant' and "insignificant" spills.
Educate employees and subcontractors on potential dangers to humans and the
I environment from spills and leaks.
Hold regular meetings to discuss and reinforce appropriate disposal procedures (incorporate
into regular safety meetings).
Establish a continuing education program to indoctrinate new employees.
Have contractor's superintendent or representative oversee and enforce proper spill
prevention and control measures.
I General Measures
To the extent that the work can be accomplished safely, spills of oil, petroleum products,
substances listed under 40 CFR parts 110,117, and 302, and sanitary and septic wastes
I should be contained and cleaned up immediately.
Store hazardous materials and wastes in covered containers and protect from vandalism.
I • Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible.
I
. Train employees in spill prevention and cleanup.
Designate responsible individuals to oversee and enforce control measures.
I • Spills should be covered and protected from stormwater runon during rainfall to the extent
that it doesn't compromise clean up activities.
Do not bury or wash spills with water. -

I
i Spill Prevention and Control WM-4
I • Store and dispose of used clean up materials, contaminated materials and recovered spill
material that is no longer suitable for the intended purpose in conformance with the
provisions in applicable BMPs.
Do not allow water used for cleaning and decontamination to enter storm drains or
watercourses. Collect and dispose of contaminated water in accordance with WM-io, Liquid
I
Waste Management.
: Contain water overflow or minor water spillage and do not allow it to discharge into
I
. drainage facilities or watercourses.
Place proper storage, cleanup, and spill reporting instructions for hazardous materials
stored or used on the project site in an open, conspicuous, and accessible location.
I .. Keep waste storage areas clean, well organized, and equipped with ample cleanup supplies
as appropriate for the materials being stored. Perimeter controls, containment structures,
I covers, and liners should be repaired or replaced as needed to maintain proper function.
Cleanup
I . Clean up leaks and spills immediately. .
Use a rag for small spills on paved surfaces, a damp mop for general cleanup, and absorbent
material for larger spills. If the spilled material is hazardous, then the used cleanup
1 materials are also hazardous and must be sent to either a certified laundry (rags) or disposed
of as hazardous waste.
I . Never hose down or bury dry material spills. Cleanup as much of the material as possible
and dispose of properly. See the waste management BMPs in this section for specific
information.
I Minor Spills . .
Minor spills typically involve small quantities of oil, gasoline, paint, etc. which can be ' controlled by the first responder at the discovery of the spill.
Use absorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down or burying the spill.
I • Absorbent materials should be promptly removed and disposed of properly.
I
. Follow the practice below for a minor spill: -
- Contain the spread of the spill.
Recover spilled materials.
- Clean the contaminated area and properly dispose of contaminated materials.
I Semi-Significant Spills
Semi-significant spills still can be controlled by the first responder along with the aid of
other personnel such as laborers and the foreman, etc. This response may require the
I . cessation of all other activities.

I
n ill Prevention and Control WM-4
I . Spills should be cleaned up immediately:
- Contain spread ofthe spill.
I - Notify the project foreman immediately.
- If the spill occurs on paved or impermeable surfaces, clean up using "dry" methods
1 (absorbent materials, cat litter and/or rags). Contain the spill by encircling with
absorbent materials and do not let the spill spread widely.
- If the spill occurs in dirt areas, immediately contain the spill by constructing an earthen
dike. Dig up and properly dispose of contaminated soil.
- If the spill occurs during rain, cover spill with tarps or other material to prevent
contaminating runoff.
I Significant/Hazardous Spills
. For significant or hazardous spills that cannot be controlled by personnel in the immediate
vicinity, the following steps should be taken:
I - Notify the local emergency response by dialing 911. In addition to 911, the contractor will
notify the proper county officials. It is the contractor's responsibility to have all
I
emergency phone numbers at the construction site.
- Notify the Governor's Office of Emergency Services Warning Center, (916) 845-8911.
I - For spills of federal reportable quantities, in conformance with the requirements in 40
CFR parts 110,119, and 302, the contractor should notify the National Response Center
at (800) 424-8802.
I - Notification should first be made by telephone and followed up with a written report.
- The services of a spills contractor or a Haz-Mat team should be obtained immediately.
I Construction personnel should not attempt to clean up until the appropriate and
qualified staffs have arrived at the job site.
I - Other agencies which may need to be consulted include, but are not limited to, the Fire
Department, the Public Works Department, the Coast Guard, the Highway Patrol, the
City/County Police Department, Department of Toxic Substances, California Division of
I Oil and Gas, Cal/OSHA, etc.
Reporting
I . Report significant spills to local agencies, such as the Fire Department; they can assist in
cleanup.-
I
. Federal regulations require that any significant oil spill into a water body or onto an
adjoining shoreline be reported to the National Response Center (NRC) at 800-424-8802

Limitations
I Temporary stockpiling of certain construction wastes may not necessitate stringent drainage
related controls during the non-rainy season or in desert areas with low rainfall.
I Implementation
The following steps will help keep a clean site and reduce stormwater pollution:
I • Select designated waste collection areas onsite.
Inform trash-hauling contractors that you will accept only watertight dumpsters for onsite
I use. Inspect dumpsters for leaks and repair any dumpster that is not watertight.
Locate containers in a covered area or in a secondary containment.
I • Provide an adequate number of containers with lids or covers that can be placed over the
container to keep rain out or to prevent loss of wastes when it is windy.
I . Plan for additional containers and more frequent pickup during the demolition phase of
construction.
I Collect site trash daily, especially during rainy and windy conditions.
.Remove this solid waste promptly since erosion and sediment control devices tend to collect
I
litter.
Make sure that toxic liquid wastes (used oils, solvents, and paints) and chemicals (acids,
pesticides, additives, curing compounds) are not disposed of in dumpsters designated for
I construction debris.
Do not hose out dumpsters on the construction site. Leave dumpster cleaning to tha trash
I hauling contractor.
Arrange for regular waste collection before containers overflow.
I • Cleanup immediately if a container does spill. -
Make sure that construction waste is collected, removed, and disposed of only at authorized
disposal areas.
Education
I . Have the contractor's superintendent or representative oversee and enforce proper solid
waste management procedures and practices.
I . Instruct employees and subcontractors on identification of solid waste and hazardous waste.

Require that employees and subcontractors follow solid waste handling and storage
procedures.
Prohibit littering by employees, subcontractors, and visitors.
Minimize production of solid waste materials wherever possible.
Collection, Storage, and Disposal
Littering on the project site should be prohibited.
To prevent clogging of the storm drainage system, litter and debris removal from drainage
grates, trash racks, and ditch lines should be a priority.
Trash receptacles should be provided in the contractor's yard, field trailer areas, and at
locations where workers congregate for lunch and break periods.
• Litter from work areas within the construction limits of the project site sh6u1d be collected
I and placed in watertight dumpsters at least weekly, regardless of whether the litter was
generated by the contractor, the public, or others. Collected litter and debris should not be
placed in or next to drain inlets, stormwater drainage systems, or watercourses.
I . Dumpsters be to thé of sufficient size and number should provided contain solid waste
generated by the project.
I • Full dumpsters should be removed from the project site and the contents should be disposed

WM-5 Solid Waste Management
For disposal of hazardous waste, see WM-6, Hazardous Waste Management. Have
hazardous waste hauled to an appropriate disposal and/or recycling facility.
Salvage or recycle useful vegetation debris, packaging and surplus building materials when
practical. For example, trees and shrubs from land clearing can be used as a brush barrier,
or converted into wood chips, then used as mulch on graded areas. Wood pallets, cardboard
boxes, and construction scraps can also be recycled.

LI
I
Suitable Applications
Contaminated soil management is implemented on
construction projects in highly urbanized or industrial areas
where soil contamination may have occurred due to spills, illicit
discharges, aerial deposition, past use and leaks from
underground storage tanks.
Limitations
Contaminated soils that cannot be treated onsite must be
disposed of offsite by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. The
presence of contaminated soil may indicate contaminated water
as well. See NS-2, Dewatering Operations, for more
information.
The procedures and practices presented in this BMP are
general. The contractor should identify appropriate practices
and procedures for the specific contaminants known to exist or
discovered onsite.
I
I
I
I
I
Implementation
Most owners and developers conduct pre-construction
environmental assessments as a matter of routine. Contaminated
soils are often identified during project planning and development
with known locations identified in the plans, specifications and in
the SWPPP. The contractor should review applicable reports and
investigate appropriate call-outs inthe plans, specifications, and A A

SWPPP. Recent court rulings holding contractors liable for cleanup costs when they
1 unknowingly move contaminated soil highlight the need for contractors to confirm a site
assessment is completed before earth moving begins.
The following steps will help reduce stormwater pollution from contaminated soil:
Conduct thorough, pre-construction inspections of the site and review documents related to
I the site. If inspection or reviews indicated presence of contaminated soils, develop a plan
before starting work.
I
• Look for contaminated soil as evidenced by discoloration, odors, differences in soil
properties, abandoned underground tanks or pipes, or buried debris.
Prevent leaks and spills. Contaminated soil cthi be expensive to treat and dispose of
I properly. However, addressing the problem before construction is much less expensive than
after the structures are in place.
The contractor may further identify contaminated soils by investigating
- Past site uses and activities
I - Detected or undetected spills and leaks
- Acid or alkaline solutions from exposed soil or rock formations high in acid or alkaline
I forming elements
- Contaminated soil as evidenced by discoloration, odors, differences in soil properties,
I abandoned underground tanks or pipes, or buried debris.
Suspected soils should be tested at a certified laboratory.
I Education
Have employees and subcontractors complete a safety training program which meets 29
CFR 1910.120 and 8 CCR 5192 covering the potential haards as identified, prior to I performing any excavation work at the locations containing material classified as hazardous.
Educate employees and subcontractors in identification of contaminated soil and on
I contaminated soil handling and disposal procedures.
Hold regular meetings to discuss and reinforce disposal procedures (incorporate into regular
I safety meetings).
Handling Procedures for Material with Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL)
I . Materials from areas designated as containing (ADL) may, if allowed by the contract special
provisions, be excavated, transported, and used in the construction of embankments and/or
backfilL
Excavation, transportation, and placement operations should result in no visible dust.
Caution should be exercised to prevent spillage of lead containing material during transport.

I Contaminated Soil Management WM-7
I m Quality should be monitored during excavation of soils contaminated with lead.
Handling Procedures for Contaminated Soils
I
• Minimize onsite storage. Contaminated soil should be disposed of properly in accordance
with allapplicable regulations. All hazardous waste storage will comply with the
requirements in Title 22, CCR, Sections 66265.250 to 66265.260.
I . Test suspected soils at an approved certified laboratory.
. Work with the local regulatory agencies to develop options for treatment or disposal if the
I soil is contaminated.
. Avoid temporary stockpiling of contaminated soils or hazardous material.
I . Take the following precautions if temporary stockpiling is necessary:
I
- Cover the stockpile with plastic sheeting or tarps.
- Install a berm around the stockpile to prevent runoff from leaving the area.
I Do not stockpile in or near storm drains or watercourses.
Remove contaminated material and hazardous material on exteriors of transport vehicles
I and place either into the current transport vehicle or into the excavation prior to the vehicle
leaving the exclusion zone.
I
• Monitor the air quality continuously during excavation operations at all locations containing
hazardous material.
. Procure all permits and licenses, pay all charges and fees, and give all notices necessary and
I incident to the due and lawful prosecution of the work, including registration for
transporting vehicles carrying the contaminated material and the hazardous material.
I . Collect water from decontamination procedures and treat or dispose of it at an appropriate
disposal site.
I . Collect non-reusable protective equipment, once used by any personnel, and dispose of at an
appropriate disposal site.
. Install temporary security fence to surround and secure the exclusion zone. Remove fencing
I when no longer needed.
Excavate, transport, and dispose of contaminated material and hazardous material in
I accordance with the rules and regulations of the following agencies (the specifications of
these agencies supersede the procedures outlined in this BMP):

I Procedures for Underground Storage Tank Removals
Prior to commencing tank removal operations, obtain the required underground storage
I tank removal permits and approval from the federal, state, and local agencies that have
jurisdiction over such work.
To determine if it contains hazardous substances, arrange to have tested, any liquid or I sludge found in the underground tank prior to its removal.
Following the tank removal, take soil samples beneath the excavated tank and perform
1 analysis as required by the local agency representative(s).
The underground storage tank, any liquid or sludge found within the tank, and all
I contaminated substances and hazardous substances removed during the tank removal and
transported to disposal facilities permitted to accept such waste.
Water Control
All necessary precautions and preventive measures should be taken to prevent the flow of
water, including ground water, from mixing with hazardous substances or underground
storage tank excavations. Such preventative measures may consist of, but are not limited to,
berms, cofferdams, grout curtains, freeze walls, and seal course concrete or any combination
thereof.
If water does enter an excavation and becomes contaminated, such water, when necessary to
proceed with the work, should be discharged to clean, closed top, watertight transportable
holding tanks, treated, and disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local laws.
Costs
Prevention of leaks and spills is inexpensive. Treatment or disposal of contaminated soil can be
quite expensive.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect and verify that activity—based BMPs are in place prior to the commencement of
associated activities. While activities associated with the BMP are under way, inspect weekly
during the rainy season and of two-week intervals in the non-rainy season to verify
continued BMP implementation.
Arrange for contractor's Water Pollution Control Manager, foreman, and/or construction
supervisor to monitor onsite contaminated soil storage and disposal procedures.
Monitor air quality continuously during excavation operations at all locations containing
hazardous material.
Coordinate contaminated soils and hazardous substances/waste management with the
appropriate federal, state, and local agencies.

The following steps will help reduce stormwater pollution from concrete wastes:
Discuss the concrete management techniques described in this BMP (such as handling of
concrete waste and washout) with the ready-mix concrete supplier before any deliveries are
made.
Incorporate requirements for concrete waste management into material supplier and
subcontractor agreements.
Store dry and wet materials under cover, away from drainage areas.
Avoid mixing excess amounts of fresh concrete.
Perform washout of concrete trucks offsite or in designated areas only
I
• Do not wash out concrete trucks into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams.
Do not allow excess concrete to be dumped onsite, except in designated areas.
I • For onsite washout:
- Locate washout area at least 50 feet from storm drains, open ditches, or water bodies.
Do not allow runoff from this area by constructing a temporary pit or bermed area large
I enough for liquid and solid waste.
- Wash out wastes into the temporary pit where the concrete can set, be broken up, and
I then disposed properly.
Avoid creating runoff by draining water to a bermed or level area when washing concrete to
I remove fine particles and expose the aggregate.
Do not wash sweepings from exposed aggregate concrete into the street or storm drain.
I Collect and return sweepings to aggregate base stockpile or dispose in the trash.
Education
I
• Educate employees, subcontractors, and suppliers on the concrete waste management
techniques described herein.
Arrange for contractor's superintendent or representative to oversee and enforce concrete
I waste management procedures.
Concrete Slurry Wastes
PCC and AC waste should not be allowed to enter storm drains or watercourses.
PCC and AC waste should be collected and disposed of or placed in a temporary concrete
I washout facility.
A sign should be installed adjacent to each temporary concrete washout facility to inform
concrete equipment operators to utilize the proper facilities.

i Concrete Waste Management WM-8
Below grade concrete washout facilities are typical. Above grade facilities are used if
excavation is not practical.
I
• A foreman or construction supervisor should monitor onsite concrete working tasks, such as
saw cutting coring, grinding and grooving to ensure proper methods are implemented.
Saw-cut PCC slurry should not be allowed to enter storm drains or watercourses. Residue
I from grinding operations should be picked up by means of a vacuum attachment to the
grinding machine. Saw cutting residue should not be allowed to flow across the pavement
and should not be left on the surface of the pavement. See also NS-3, Paving and Grinding
I Operations; and WM-io, Liquid Waste Management.
Slurry residue should be vacuumed and disposed in a temporary pit (as described in OnSite
I' Temporary Concrete Washout Facility, Concrete Transit Truck Washout Procedures, below)
and allowed to dry. Dispose of dry slurry residue in accordance with WM-5, Solid Waste
Management.
I Onsite Temporary Concrete Washout Facility, Transit Truck Washout
Procedures
I
• Temporary concrete washout facilities should be located a minimum of 50 ft from storm
drain inlets, open drainage facilities, and watercourses. Each facility should be located away
from construction traffic or access areas to prevent disturbance or tracking.
I . A sign should be installed adjacent to each washout facility to inform concrete equipment
operators to utilize the proper facilities.
I • Temporary concrete washout facilities should be constructed above grade or below grade at
the option of the contractor. Temporary concrete washout facilities should be constructed

Description and Purpose
Proper sanitary and septic waste management prevent the
discharge of pollutants to stormwater from sanitary and septic
waste by providing convenient, well-maintained facilities, and
arranging for regular service and disposal.
Suitable Applications
Sanitary septic waste management practices are suitable for use
at all construction sites that use temporary or portable sanitary
and septic waste systems.
Limitations
None identified.
I Implementation
Sanitary or septic wastes should be treated or disposed of in
I .accordance with state and local requirements. In many cases,
one contract with a local facility supplier will be all that it takes
to make sure sanitary wastes are properly disposed.
I Storage and Disposal Procedures
Temporary sanitary facilities should be located away from
I . drainage facilities, watercourses, and from traffic
circulation. When subjected to high winds or risk of high
winds, temporary sanitary facilities should be secured to

plastic Or wire mesh for support. The silt fence detains ' sediment-laden water, promoting sedimentation behind the
fence.
Silt Fence
. Do not use in locations where ponded water may cause flooding.
Do not place fence on a slope, or across any contour line. If not installed at the same

Filter fences will create a temporary sedimentation pond on the upstream side of the fence
and may cause temporary flooding. Fences not constructed on a level contour will be
overtopped by concentrated flow resulting in failure of the filter fence.
Improperly installed fences are subject to failure from undercutting, overlapping, or
collapsing.
- Not effective unless trenched and keyed in.
- Not intended for use as mid-slope protection on slopes greater than :i (H:V).
- Do not allow water depth to exceed 1.5 ft at any point.
Implementation
General
A silt fence is a temporary sediment barrier consisting of filter fabric stretched across and
attached to supporting posts, entrenched, and, depending upon the strength of fabric used,
supported with plastic or wire mesh fence. Silt fences trap sediment by intercepting and
detaining small amounts of sediment-laden runoff from disturbed areas in order to promote
sedimentation behind the fence.
I Silt fences are preferable to straw bale barriers in many cases. Laboratory work at the Virginia
Highway and Transportation Research Council has shown that silt fences can trap a much
higher percentage of suspended sediments than can straw bales. While the failure rate of silt
I .fences is lower than that of straw bale barriers, there are many instances where silt fences have
been improperly installed. The following layout and installation guidance can improve
performance and should be followed:
Use principally in areas where sheet flow occurs.
Don't use in streams, channels, or anywhere flow is concentrated. Don't use silt fences to I divert flow. .
I
. Don't use below slopes subject to creep, slumping, or landslides.
Select filter fabric that retains 8% of soil by weight, based on sieve analysis, but that is not
finer than an equivalent opening size of 70.
I • Install along a level contour, so water does not pond more than 1.5 ft at any point along the
silt fence.
The maximum length of slope draining to any point along the silt fence should be 200 ft or
less.
The maximum slope perpendicular to the fence line should be i:i.

I . Provide sufficient room for runoff to pond behind the fence and to allow sediment removal
equipment to pass between the silt fence and toes of slopes or other obstructions. About
1200 ft2 of ponding area should be provided for every acre draining to the fence.
I . Turn the ends of the filter fence uphill to prevent stormwater from flowing around the fence.
Leave an undisturbed or stabilized area immediately down slope from the fence where
I feasible.
Silt fences should remain in place until the disturbed area is permanently stabilized.
I Design and Layout *
Selection of a filter fabric is based on soil conditions at the construction site (which affect the
I equivalent opening size (EOS) fabric specification) and characteristics of the support fence
(which affect the choice of tensile strength). The designer should specify a filter fabric that
retains the soil found on the construction site yet that it has openings large enough to permit
I drainage and prevent clogging. The following criteria is recommended for selection of the
equivalent opening size:
If 50 percent or less of the soil, by weight, will pass the U.S. Standard Sieve No. 200,
I select the EOS to retain 85 % of the soil. The EOS should not be finer than EOS 70.
2. For
I
all other soil types, the EOS should be no larger than the openings in the U.S.
Standard Sieve No. 70 except where direct discharge to a stream, lake, or wetland
will occur, then the EOS should be no larger than Standard Sieve No. 100.
I To reduce the chance of clogging, it is preferable to specify a fabric with openings as large as
allowed by the criteria. No fabric should be specified with an EOS smaller than U.S. Standard
Sieve No. 100. If 85% or more of a soil, by weight, passes through the openings in a No. 200
I sieve, filter fabric should not be used. Most of the particles in such a soil would not be retained
if the EOS was too large and they would clog the fabric quickly if the EOS were small enough to
capture the soil.
1 The fence should be supported by a plastic or wire mesh if the fabric selected does not have
sufficient strength and bursting strength characteristics for the planned application (as
I
. recommended by the fabric manufacturer). Filter fabric material should contain ultraviolet
inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum of six months of expected usable construction
life at a temperature range of o °F to 120 °F.
I • Layout in accordance with attached figures.
For slopes steeper than 2:1 (H:V) and that contain a high number of rocks or large dirt clods
I that tend to dislodge, it may be necessary to install additional protection immediately
adjacent to the bottom of the slope, prior to installing silt fence. Additional protection may
be a chain link fence or a cable fence.
I . For slopes adjacent to sensitive receiving waters or Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs),
silt fence should be used in conjunction with erosion control BMPs.

SE-1 Silt Fence
I Materials
. Silt fence fabric should be woven polypropylene with a minimum width of 36 in. and a
minimum tensile strength of 100 lb force. The fabric should conform to the requirements in
I ASTM designation D4632 and should have an integral reinforcement layer. The
reinforcement layer should be a polypropylene, or equivalent, net provided by the
manufacturer. The permittivity of the fabric should be between 0.1 sec-1 and 0.15 sec-1 in
I conformance with the requirements in ASTM designation D4491.
. Wood stakes should be commercial quality lumber of the size and shape shown on the plans.
Each stake should be free from decay, splits or cracks longer than the thickness of the stake
or other defects that would weaken the stakes and cause the stakes to be structurally
unsuitable.
I . Staples used to fasten the fence fabric to the stakes should be not less than 1.75 in. long and
should be fabricated from 15 gauge or heavier wire. The wire used to fasten the tops of the
stakes together when joining two sections offence should be 9 gauge or heavier wire.
I Galvanizing of the fastening wire will not be required.
. There are new products that may use prefabricated plastic holders for the silt fence and use
I bar reinforcement instead of wood stakes. If bar reinforcement is used in lieu of wood
stakes, use number four or greater bar. Provide end protection for any exposed bar
reinforcement.
I Installation Guidelines
Silt fences are to be constructed on a level contour. Sufficient area should exist behind the fence
for ponding to occur without flooding or overtopping the fence.
A trench should be excavated approximately 6 in. wide and 6 in. deep along the line the
proposed silt fence.
Bottom of the silt fence should be keyed-in a minimum of 12 in.
Posts should be spaced a maximum of 6 ft apart and driven securely into the ground a
minimum of 18 in. or 12 in. below the bottom of the trench.
When standard strength filter fabric is used, a plastic or wire mesh support fence should be
fastened securely to the upslope side of posts using heavy—duty wire staples at least 1 in..
long. The mesh should extend into the trench. When extra-strength filter fabric and closer
post spacing are used, the mesh support fence may be eliminated. Filter fabric should be
purchased in a long roll, and then cut to the length of the barrier. When joints are necessary,
filter cloth should be spliced together only at a support post, with a minimum 6 in. overlap
and both ends securely fastened to the post.
. The trench should be backfllled with compacted native material.
Construct silt fences with a setback of at least 3 ft from the toe of a slope. Where a silt fence
is determined to be not practicable due to specific site conditions, the silt fence may be
constructed at the toe of the slope, but should be constructed as far from the toe of the slope
as practicable. Silt fences close to the toe of the slope will be less effective and difficult to
maintain.

. To promote sedimentation behind the dam.
SE-5 Fiber Rolls To prevent erosion by reducmg the velocity of channel flow
in small intermittent channels and temporary swales. - SE-6 Gravel Bag Berm
SE-8 Sandbag Barrier
r In small open channels that drain 10-acres or less.
In steep channels where stormwater runoff velocities
exceed 5 ft/s.
I I During the establishment of grass linings in drainage
ditches or channels.

I SE-4 Check Dams
Not appropriate in channels that drain areas greater than 10 acres.
Not appropriate in channels that are already grass-lined unless erosion is expected, as
J installation may damage vegetation.
Require extensive maintenance following high velocity flows.
Promotes sediment trapping which can be re-suspended during subsequent storms or
removal of the check dam.
I Implementation
General
Check dams reduce the effective slope and create small pools in swales and ditches that drain 10
I acres or less. Reduced slopes reduce the velocity of stormwater flows, thus reducing erosion of
the swale or ditch and promoting sedimentation. Use of check dams for sedimentation will
likely result in little net removal of sediment because of the small detention time and probable
I scour during longer storms. Using a series of check dams will generally increase their
effectiveness. A sediment trap (SE-3) may be placed immediately upstream of the check dam to
increase sediment removal efficiency.
I Design and Layout
Check dams work by decreasing the effective slope in ditches and swales An important
I consequence of the reduced slope is a reduction in capacity of the ditch or swale. This reduction
in capacity must be considered when using this BMP, as reduced capacity can result in
overtopping of the ditch or swale and resultant consequences. In some cases, such as a
I 'permanent" ditch or swale being constructed early and used as a "temporary" conveyance for
construction flows, the ditch or swale may have sufficient capacity such that the temporary
reduction in capacity due to check dams is acceptable. When check dams reduce capacities ' beyond acceptable limits, there are several options:
Don't use check dams. Consider alternative BMPs.
I • Increase the size of the ditch or swale to restore capacity.
Maximum slope and velocity reduction is achieved when the toe of the upstream dam is at the
same elevation as the top of the downstream dam. The center section of the dam should be
lower than the edge sections so that the check dam will direct flows to the center of the ditch or
swale.
Check dams are usually constructed of rock, gravel bags, sandbags, and fiber rolls. A number of
products manufactured specifically for use as check dams are also being used, and some of these
products can be removed and reused. Check dams can also be constructed of logs or lumber,
and have the advantage of a longer lifespan when compared to gravel bags, sandbags, and fiber
rolls. Straw bales can also be used for check dams and can work if correctly installed; but in
practice, straw bale check dams have a high failure rate. Check dams should not be constructed
from straw bales or silt fences, since concentrated flows quickly wash out these materials.
Rock check dams are usually constructed of 8 to 12 in. rock. The rock is placed either by hand or
mechanically, but never just dumped into the channel. The dam must completely span the ditch

Check Dams SE-4
or swale to prevent washout. The rock used must be large enough to stay in place given the
expected design flow through the channel.
Log check dams are usually constructed of 4 to 6 in. diameter logs. The logs should be
embedded into the soil at least 18 in. Logs can be bolted or wired to vertical support logs that
have been driven or buried into the soil.
Gravel bag and sandbag check dams are constructed by stacking bags across the ditch or swale,
shaped as shown in the drawings at the end of this fact sheet.
Manufactured products should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If grass is planted to stabilize the ditch or swale, the check dam should be removed when the
grass has matured (unless the slope of the swales is greater than 4%).
The following guidance should be followed for the design and layout of check dams:
Install the first check dam approximately 16 ft from the oulfall device and at regular
intervals based on slope gradient and soil type.
Check dams should be placed at a distance and height to allow small pools to form between
each check dam.
Backwater from a downstream check dam should reach the toes of the upstream check dam.
A sediment trap provided immediately upstream of the check dam will help capture
sediment. Due to the potential for this sediment to be resuspended in subsequent storms,
the sediment trap must be cleaned follOwing each storm event. -
High flows (typically a 2-year storm or larger) should safely flow over the check dam without
an increase in upstream flooding or damage to the check dam.
Where grass is used to line ditches, check dams should be removed when grass has matured
I sufficiently to protect the ditch or swale.
Gravel bags may be used as check dams with the following specifications:
Materials
Gravel bags used for check dams should conform to the requirements of SE-6, Gravel Bag
Berms. Sandbags used for check dams should conform to SE-8, Sandbag Barrier. Fiber rolls
used for check dams should conform to SE-5, Fiber Rolls. Straw bales used for check dams
should conform to SE-9, Straw Bale Barrier. -
Installation
Rock should be placed individually by hand or by mechanical methods (no dumping of rock)
to achieve complete ditch or swale coverage.
• Tightly abut bags and stack according to detail shown in the figure at the end of this section. ' Gravel bags and sandbags should not be stacked any higher than 3 ft.
Fiber rolls and straw bales must be trenched in and firmly staked in place.

Description and Purpose
A fiber roll consists of straw, flax, or other similar materials
bound into a tight tubular roll. When fiber rolls are placed at
the toe and on the face of slopes, they intercept runoff; reduce
its flow velocity, release the runoff as sheet flow, and provide
removal of sediment from the runoff. By interrupting the
length of a slope fiber rolls can also reduce erosion.
Suitable Applications
Fiber rolls may be suitable:
Along the toe, top, face, and -at grade breaks of exposed and
erodible slopes to shorten slope length and spread runoff as
sheet flow
At the end of a downward slope where it transitions to a
steeper slope
Along the perimeter of a project

SE-6 Gravel Bag Berm
- Along the face and at grade breaks of exposed and erodible slopes to shorten slope length
and spread runoff as sheet flow
- At the top of slopes to divert runoff away from disturbed slopes
- As check dams across mildly sloped construction roads
Limitations
i Gravel berms may be difficult to remove.
Removal problems limit their usefulness in landscaped areas.
Gravel bag berm may not be appropriate for drainage areas greater than 5 acres.
Runoff will pond upstream of the filter, possibly causing flooding if sufficient space does not
exist
Degraded gravel bags may rupture when removed, spilling contents.
Installation can belabor intensive.
Berms may have limited durability for long-term projects.
When used to detain concentrated flows, maintenance requirements increase.
Implementation
General
A gravel bag berm consists of a row of open graded gravel—filled bags placed- on a level contour-;
When appropriately placed, a gravel bag berm intercepts and slows sheet flow runoff, causing
temporary ponding. The temporary ponding provides quiescent conditions allowing sediment
to settle. The open graded gravel in the bags is porous, which allows the ponded runoff to flow
slowly through the bags, releasing the runoff as sheet flows. Gravel bag-berms also interrupt the
slope length and thereby reduce erosion by reducing the tendency of sheet flows to concentrate
into rivulets, which erode rills, and ultimately gullies, into disturbed, sloped soils. Gravel bag
berms are similar to sand bag barriers, but are more porous.
Design and Layout
. Locate gravel bag berms on level contours.
- -Slopes between 20:1 and 2:1 (H:V): Gravel bags should be placed at a maximum interval
of 50 ft (a closer spacing is more effective), with the first row near the slope toe.
- Slopes 2:1 (H: V) or steeper: Gravel bags should be placed atamaximum interval of 25 ft
(a closer spacing is more effective), with the first row placed the slope toe.
Turn the ends of the gravel bag barriers up slope to prevent runoff from going around the
berm-.
Allow sufficient space up slope from the gravel bag berm to allow ponding, and to provide
room for sediment storage.

Description and Purpose
I Street sweeping and vacuuming includes use of self-propelled
and walk-behind equipment to remove sediment from streets
and roadways, and to clean paved surfaces in preparation for
I final paving. Sweeping and vacuuming prevents sediment from
the project site from entering storm drains or receiving waters.
Suitable Applications I Sweeping and vacuuming are suitable anywhere sediment is
- tracked from the project site onto public or private paved
streets and roads, typically at points of egress. Sweeping and I vacuuming are also applicable during preparation of paved
surfaces for final paving.
I Limitations
Sweeping and vacuuming may not be effective when sediment
is wet or when tracked soil is caked (caked soil may need to be I scraped loose).
I
I
I
I
Implementation
Controlling the number of points where vehicles can leave
the site will allow sweeping and vacuuming efforts to be
focused, and perhaps save money.
Inspect potential sediment tracking locations daily.
Visible sediment tracking should be swept or vacuumed on a
daily basis.

Costs
U Rental rates for self-propelled sweepers vary depending on hopper size and duration of -rental.
Expect rental rates from $58/hour (Q yd3 hopper) to $88/hour '9 yd3 hopper), plus operator
costs. Hourly production rates vary with the amount of area to be swept and amount of
I sediment. Match the hopper size to the area and expect sediment load to minimize time spent
dumping.
I Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect BMPs prior to forecast rain, daily during extended rain events, after rain events,
weekly during the rainy season, and at two-week intervals during the non-rainy season.
I • When actively in use, points of ingress and egress must be inspected daily.
When tracked or spilled sediment is observed outside the construction limits, it must be
I removed at least daily. More frequent removal, even continuous removal, may be required
in some jurisdictions.
I I Be careful not to sweep up any unknown substance or any object that maybe potentially
hazardous.
I I Adjust brooms frequently; maximize efficiency of sweeping operations.
After sweeping is finished, properly dispose of sweeper wastes at an approved dumpsite.

Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Description and Purpose
Storm drain inlet protection consists of a sediment filter or an
impounding area around or upstream of a storm drain, drop
inlet, or curb inlet. Storm drain inlet protection measures
temporarily pond runoff before it enters the storm drain,
allowing sediment to settle. Some filter configurations also
remove sediment by filtering, but usually the ponding action
results in the greatest sediment reduction.
Suitable Applications
Every storm drain inlet receiving sediment-laden runoff should
be protected.
Limitations
is Drainage area should not exceed 1 acre.
Straw bales, while potentially effective, have not produced
I in practice satisfactory results, primarily due to improper
installation.
I . Requires an adequate area for water to pond without
encroaching into portions of the roadway subject to traffic.
I . Inlet protection usually requires other methodsof
temporary protection to prevent sediment-laden
stormwater and non-stormwater discharges from entering the
I storm drain system.
. Sediment removal may be difficult in high flow conditions or if
runoff is heavily sediment laden. If high flow conditions are

expected, use other onsite sediment trapping techniques in conjunction with inlet
protection. -
I
• Frequent maintenance is required. -
For drainage areas larger than 1 acre, runoff should be routed to a sediment-trapping device
designed for larger flows. See BMPs SE-2, Sediment Basin, and SE-3, Sediment Traps.
Excavated drop inlet sediment traps are appropriate where relatively heavy flows are
expected, and overflow capability is needed.
I Implementation
General
I Large amounts of sediment may enter the storm drain system when storm drains are installed
before the upsiope drainage area is stabilized, or where construction is adjacent to an existing
storm drain. In cases of extreme sediment loading, the storm drain itself may clog and lose a
I major portion of its capacity. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to prevent sediment from
entering the system at the inlets.
Inlet control measures presented in this handbook should not be used for inlets draining more
than one acre. Runoff from larger disturbed areas should.be first routed through SE-2,
Sediment Basin or SE-3, Sediment Trap. Different types of inlet protection are appropriate for
different applications depending on site conditions and the type of inlet. Inlet protection
methods not presented in this handbook should be approved by the local stormwater
management agency.
I Design and Layout
Identify existing and planned storm drain inlets that have the potential to receive sediment-
laden surface runoff. Determine if storm drain inlet protection is needed and which method to
use.
Limit upstream drainage area tol acre maximum. For larger drainage areas, use SE-2,
I Sediment Basin, or SE-3, Sediment Trap, upstream of the inlet protection device.
The key to successful and safe use of storm drain inlet protection devices is to know where
I
runoff will pond or be diverted.
- Determine the acceptable location and extent of ponding in the vicinity of the drain inlet.
The acceptable location and extent of ponding will influence the type and design of the
I storm drain inlet protection device.
-
- Determine the extent of potential runoff diversion caused by the storm drain inlet
I protection device. Runoff ponded by inlet protection devices may flow around the device
and towards the next downstream inlet. In some cases, this is acceptable; in other cases,
serious erosion or downstream property damage can be caused by these diversions. The
I possibility of runoff diversions will influence whether or not storm drain inlet protection
is suitable; and, if suitable, the type and design of the device.
I
• The location and extent ofponding, and the extent of diversion, can usually be controlled
through appropriate placement of the inlet protection device. In some cases, moving the

inlet protection device a short distance upstream of the actual inlet can provide more
I efficient sediment control, limit ponding to desired areas, and prevent or control diversions.
Four types of inlet protection are presented below. However, it is recognized that other
I effective methods and proprietary devices exist and may be selected.
- Filter Fabric Fence: Appropriate for drainage basins with less than a 590 slope, sheet
1 flows, and flows under 0.5 cfs.
- Excavated Drop Inlet Sediment Trap: An excavated area around the inlet to trap
I
. sediment (SE-3).
- Gravel bag barrier: Used to create a small sediment trap upstream of inlets on sloped,
paved streets. Appropriate for-sheet flow or when concentrated flow may exceed 0.5 cfs,
I . and where overtopping is required to prevent flooding.
- Block and Gravel Filter: Appropriate for flows greater than 0.5 cfs.
I . • Select the appropriate type of inlet protection and design as referred to or as described in
this fact sheet.
Provide area around the inlet for water to pond without flooding structures and property.
Grates and spaces around all inlets should be sealed to prevent seepage of sediment-laden
I water.
Excavate sediment sumps (where needed) 1 to 2 ft with 2:1 side slopes around the inlet.
I Installation -
DI Protection Type i -Filter Fabric Fence - The filter fabric fence (Type i) protection
I . is shown in the attached figure. Similar to constructing a silt fence; see BMP SE-1, Silt
- Fence. Do not place filter fabric underneath the inlet grate since the collected sediment may
fall into the drain inlet when the fabric is removed or replaced.
Excavate a trench approximately 6 in. wide and 6 in. deep along the line of the silt fence
- inlet protection device.
Place 2 in. by 2 in. wooden stakes around the perimeter of the inlet a maximum 0f3 ft
apart and drive them at least 18 in. into the ground or 12 in. below the bottom of the
I
trench. The stakes must be at least 48 in.
3. Lay fabric along bottom of trench, up side of trench, and then up stakes. See SE-1, Silt
Fence, for details. The maximum silt fence height around the inlet is 24 in.
I 4. Staple the filter fabric (for materials and specifications, see SE-1, Silt Fence) to wooden
stakes. Use heavy-duty wire staples at least 1 in. in length.

I .DI Protection Type 3 - Gravel bag - The gravel bag barrier (Type 3) is shown in the
figures. Flow from a severe storm should not overtop the curb. In areas of high clay and
silts, use filter fabric and gravel as additional filter media. Construct gravel bags in
accordance with SE-6, Gravel Bag Berm. Gravel bags should be used due to their high
I permeability.
Use sandbag' made of geotextile fabric (not burlap) and fill with 0.75 in. rock or 0.25 in.
I pea gravel.
Construct on gently sloping street.
Leave room upstream of barrier for water to pond and sediment to settle.
Place several layers of sandbags -overlapping the bags and packing them tightly
together.
Leave gap of one bag on the top row to serve as a spillway. Flow from a severe storm
(e.g., 10 year storm) should not overtop the curb.
.• DI Protection Type 4 -Block and Gravel Filter -The block and gravel filter (Type 4)
is shown in the figures. Block and gravel filters are suitable for curb inlets commonly used in
residential, commercial, and industrial construction.
Place hardware cloth or comparable wire mesh with 0.5 in. openings over the drop inlet
so that the wire extends a minimum of i ft beyond each side of the inlet structure. If
more than one strip is necessary, overlap the strips. Place filter fabric over the wire
mesh.
Place concrete blocks lengthwise on their sides in a single row around the perimeter of
the inlet, so that the open ends face outward, not upward. The ends of adjacent blocks
should abut. The height of the barrier can be varied, depending on design needs, by
stacking combinations of blocks that are 4 in., 8 in., and 12 in. wide. The row of blocks
should be at least 12 in. but no greater than 24 in. high.
Place wire mesh over the outside vertical face (open end) of the concrete blocks to
prevent stone from being washed through the blocks. Use hardware cloth or comparable
wire mesh with 0.5 in. opening.
Pile washed stone against the wire mesh to the top of the blocks. Use 0.75 to 3 in.
Costs
. Average annual cost for installation and maintenance (one year useful life) is $200 per inlet.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect BMPs prior to forecast rain, daily during extended rain events, after rain events,
weekly during the rainy season, and at two-week intervals during the non-rainy season.

Make sure the stakes are securely driven in the ground and are in good shape (i.e., not bent,
cracked, or splintered, and are reasonably perpendicular to the ground). Replace damaged
stakes.
Gravel Filters. If the gravel becomes clogged with sediment, it must be, carefully removed
from the inlet and either cleaned or replaced. Since cleaning gravel at a construction site
may be difficult, consider using the sediment-laden stone as fill material and put fresh stone
around the inlet. Inspect bags for holes, gashes, and snags, and replace bags as needed.
Check gravel bags for proper arrangement and displacement.
Sediment that accumulates in the BMP must be periodically removed in order to maintain

Description and Purpose
A stabilized construction access is defined by a point of
entrance/exit to a construction site that is stabilized to reduce
the tracking of mud and dirt onto public roads by construction
vehicles.

Where poor soils are encountered.
I
•
Where dust during dry = is a problem weather conditions.
Limitations I . Entrances and exits require periodic top dressing with
additional stones.
I • This BMP should be used in conjunction with street
sweeping on adjacent public right of way.
I • Entrances and exits should be constructed on level ground
only. -
I i Stabilized construction entrances are rather expensive to
construct and when a wash rack is included, a sediment trap of
some kind must also be provided to collect wash water runoff. A I AIIF mJ.crokr m

Stabilized Construction Entrance/Exit TC-1
I Implementation
General
A stabilized construction entrance is a pad of aggregate underlain with filter cloth located at any
I point where traffic will be entering or leaving a construction site to or from a public right of way,
street, alley, sidewalk, or parking area. The purpose of a stabilized construction entrance is to
reduce or eliminate the tracking of sediment onto public rights of way or streets. Reducing ' tracking of sediments and other pollutants onto paved roads helps prevent deposition of
sediments into local storm drains and production of airborne dust.
Where traffic will be entering or leaving the construction site, a stabilized construction entrance
should be used. NPDES permits require that appropriate measures be implemented to prevent
tracking of sediments onto paved roadways, where a significant source of sediments is derived
from mud and dirt carried out from unpaved roads and construction sites.
Stabilized construction entrances are moderately effective in removing sediment from
equipment leaving a construction site. The entrance should be built on level ground.
Advantages of the Stabilized Construction Entrance/Exit is that it does remove some sediment
from equipment and serves to channel construction traffic in and out of the site at specified
locations. Efficiency is greatly increased when a washing rack is included as part of a stabilized
construction entrance/exit.
Design and Layout
: Construct on level ground where possible.
Select 3 to 6 in. diameter stones.
Use minimum depth of stones of 12 in. or as recommended by soils engineer.
construct length of 50 ft minimum, and 30ftminimum width.
Rumble racks constructed of steel panels with ridges and installed in the stabilized
entrance/exit will help remove additional sediment and to keep adjacent streets clean.
Provide ample turning radii as part of the entrance.
Limit the points of entrance/exit to the construction site.
Limit speed of vehicles to control dust.
Properly grade each construction entrance/exit to prevent runoff from leaving the
construction site.
Route runoff from stabilized entrances/exits through a sediment trapping device before
discharge.
Design stabilized entrance/exit to support heaviest vehicles and equipment that will use it.
Select construction access stabilization (aggregate, asphaltic concrete, concrete) based on
longevity, required performance, and site conditions. Do not use asphalt concrete (AC)
grindings for stabilized construction access/roadway.

. If aggregate is selected, place crushed aggregate over geotextile fabric to at least 12 in. depth,
or place aggregate to a depth recommended by a geotechnical engineer. A crushed aggregate
greater than in. but smaller than 6 in. should be used.
Designate combination or single purpose entrances and exits to the construction site.
Require that all employees, subcontractors, and suppliers utilize the stabilized construction
access.
Implement SE-7, Street Sweeping and Vacuuming, as needed
All exit locations intended to be used for more than a two-week period should have stabilized
construction entrance/exit. BMPs.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect and verify that activity—based BMPs are in place prior to the commencement of
associated activities. While activities associated with the BMPs are under way, inspect
weekly during the rainy season and of two-week intervals in the non-rainy season to verify
continued BMP implementation.
Inspect local roads adjacent to the site daily. Sweep or vacuum to remove visible
accumulated sediment.
Remove aggregate, separate and dispose of sediment if construction entrance/exit is clogged
with sediment.
Keep all temporary roadway ditches clear.
Check for damage and repair as needed.
Replace gravel material when surface voids are visible.
Remove all sediment deposited on paved roadways within 24 hours;
Remove gravel and filter fabric at completion of construction
Costs
Average annual cost for installation and maintenance may vary from $1,200 to $4,800 each,
averaging $2,400 per entrance. Costs will increase with addition of washing rack, and sediment
trap. With wash rack, costs range from $1,200 - $6,000 each, averaging $3,600 per entrance.

WE-1 Wind Erosion Control
Oil or oil-treated subgrade should not be used for dust control because the oil may migrate
into drainageways and/or seep into the soil.
Effectiveness depends on soil, temperature, humidity, and wind velocity.
Chemically treated sub grades may make the soil water repellant, interfering with long-term
infiltration and the vegetation/re-vegetation of the site. Some chemical dust suppressants
may be subject to freezing and may contain solvents and should be handled properly.
Asphalt, as a mulch tack or chemical mulch, requires a 24-hour curing time to avoid
I adherence to equipment, worker shoes, etc. Application should be limited because asphalt
surfacing may eventually migrate into the drainage system.
In compacted areas, watering and other liquid dust control measures may wash sediment or
other constituents into the drainage system.
Implementation
General
California's Mediterranean climate, with short wet seasons and long hot dry seasons, allows the
soils to thoroughly dry out. During these dry seasons, construction activities are at their peak,
and disturbed and exposed areas are increasingly subject to wind erosion, sediment tracking
and dust generated by construction equipment.
Dust control, as a BMP, is a practice that is already in place for many construction activities.
Los Angeles, the North Coast, and Sacramento, among others, have enacted dust control
ordinances for construction activities that cause dust to be transported beyond the construction
project property line.
Recently, the State Air Resources Control Board has, under the authority of the Clean Air Act,
started to address air quality in relation to inhalable particulate matter less than 10 microns
(PM-b). Approximately 90 percent of these small particles, are considered to be dust Existing,
dust control regulations by local agencies, municipal departments, public works department,
and public health departments are in place in some regions within California.
Many local agencies require dust control in Order to comply with local nuisance laws, opacity
laws (visibility impairment) and the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The following are
measures that local agencies may have already implemented as requirements for dust control
from contractors:
Construction and Grading Permits: Require provisions for dust control plans.
Opacity Emission Limits: Enforce compliance with California air pollution control laws.
Increase Overall Enforcement Activities: Priority given to cases involving citizen complaints.
Maintain Field Application Records: Require records of dust control measures from
contractor; 0
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: (SWPPP): Integrate dust control measures into
SwPPP.

Dust Control Practices
Dust control BMPs generally stabilize exposed surfaces and minimize activities that suspend or
track dust particles. The following table shows dust control practices that can be applied to site
conditions that cause dust. For heavily traveled and disturbed areas, wet suppression
(watering), chemical dust suppression, gravel asphalt surfacing, temporary gravel construction
entrances, equipment wash-out areas, and haul truck covers can be employed as dust control
applications. Permanent or temporary vegetation and mulching can be employed for areas of
occasional or no construction traffic. Preventive measures would include minimizing surface
areas to be disturbed, limiting onsite vehicle traffic to 15 mph, and controlling the number and
activity of vehicles on a site at any given time.

I Additional preventive measures include:
. Schedule construction activities to minimize exposed area (EC-1, Scheduling).
I . Quickly stabilize exposed soils using vegetation, mulching, spray-on adhesives, calcium
chloride, sprinkling, and stone/gravel layering.
I i Identify and stabilize key access points prior to commencement of construction.
.. Minimize the impact of dust by anticipating the direction of prevailing winds.
Direct most construction traffic to stabilized roadways within the project site.
Water should be applied by means of pressure-type distributors or pipelines equipped with a
spray system or hoses and -nozzles that will ensure even distribution.
All distribution equipment should be equipped with a positive means of shutoff.
Unless water is applied by means of pipelines, at least one mobile unit should be available at
all times to apply water or dust palliative to the project.

WE-1 Wind Erosion Control
If reclaimed wastewater is used, the sources and discharge must meet California
Department of Health Services water reclamation criteria and the Regional Water Quality
Control Board requirements. Non-potable water should not be conveyed in tanks or drain
pipes that will be used to convey potable water and there should be no connection between
potable and non-potable supplies. Non-potable tanks, pipes, and other conveyances should
be marked, "NON-POTABLE WATER -DO NOT DRINK."
Materials applied as temporary soil stabilizers and soil binders also generally provide wind
erosion control benefits.
Pave or chemically stabilize access points where unpaved traffic surfaces adjoin paved roads.
Provide covers for haul trucks transporting materials that contribute to dust.
Provide for wet suppression or chemical stabilization of exposed soils.
Provide for rapid cleanup of sediments deposited on paved roads. Furnish stabilized
construction road entrances and vehicle wash down areas.
Stabilize inactive construction sites using vegetation or chemical stabilization methods.
Limit the amount of areas disturbed by clearing and earth moving operations by scheduling
these activities in phases.
FOr chemical stabilization, there are many products available for chemically stabilizing gravel
roadways and stockpiles. If chemical stabilization is used, the chemicals should not create any
adverse effects on stormwater, plant life, or groundwater.
Costs
Installation costs for water and chemical dust suppression are low, but annual costs may be
quite high since these measures are effective for only a few hours to a few days.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect and verify that activity-based BMPs are in place prior to the commencement of
associated activities. While activities associated with the BMP are under way, inspect weekly
during the rainy season and at two-week intervals in the non-rainy season to verify
continued BMP implementation.
Check areas protected to ensure coverage.
Most dust control measures require frequent, often daily, or multiple times per day
attention.

Notes:
1 If specific pollutant is known, analyze only for that specific pollutant. See MSDS to verify..
For each construction material, test for one of the pollutant indicators. Bolded pollutant indicates lowest analysis cost or best indicator. However, the
composition of the specific construction material, if known, is the first criterion for selecting which analysis to use.
-3. See www.hach.com, www.lamotte.com, www.ysi.com and www.chemetrics.com for some of the test kits
If the type of inorganic fertilizer is unknown, analyze for all pollutant indicators listed.
Only if special handling requirements are required in the contract documents for aerially deposited lead (ADL)
If used with a dye or fiber matrix, it is considered visually observable and no testing is required.
Based upon research conducted by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the following copolymers/polymers do not discharge
pollutants and water quality sampling and analysis is not required: Super Tak TM, M-BinderTM, Fish Stik TM, Pro40dcTM, Fisch-BondTM, and SoilMaster WRTM.
