Project Information (1.0)
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared per the requirements of
the Washington State NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit Conditions of Approval
for the Elliot Farms project in the City of Renton, Washington. The proposed Plat of Elliott Farms
is an attached single-family residential project consisting of 45 lots, zoned R-14. The tax parcel
number is 2223059004 and is 6.07 acres in size. The site is located on the south side and adjacent
to Maple Valley Hwy (WA-169) at the eastern terminus of 140th Way SE (Private Road) in the
Molasses Creek Condominiums, in a portion of Section 22, Township 23 North, Range 5 East,
W.M., in the City of Renton.
The site is rectangular in shape with 691.70’ of frontage along Maple Valley Hwy (WA-169).
Condominium units, known as Molasses Creek Phase 1, is located on the west side of the project
that provides access into the project. A single family residential development, known as Pioneer
Place, is located to the east and a single family residence is located south. A wetland exists at
the southwest corner of the site with a 50’ buffer. This site is currently undeveloped, but contains
remnants from an existing farm, including partially buried building foundations and concrete slabs.
Existing on-site utilities were constructed along the northern portion of the site for this
development. On-site soils are mapped as Newberg (till soils).
The proposed on-site road will utilize vertical curb and gutter with depressed curb and sidewalk
at driveway connections. The road will connect to the existing 140th Way S.E that was stubbed
to the property by Molasses Creek. The private alley will be extended into the site to provide
private access and circulation. An emergency access will be provided to WA-169. Frontage
improvements along WA-169 are required, including new asphalt, new curb and gutter, sidewalk,
and planter strip. The project is proposing to install a piped conveyance system along the frontage
to convey the runoff from WA-169 and a portion of the site to the existing ditch along Molasses
creek frontage.
The on-site topography is generally flat. The southwest corner of the project gently slopes toward
the wetland. Please refer to Section 4.0 for a discussion on maintaining wetland hydrology. The
remaining portion of the site drains into the roadside ditch along WA-169. There is an existing
drainage ditch along the east side of the project that conveys off-site upstream flows from the
southeast. The elevations on the site range from 107 to 87. The project will be mass graded to
provide flat home sites for the future homes. It is expected that that site will import soils to provide
necessary cover over existing and future utilities.
The drainage system for this project is required to meet the requirements of the 2009 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the
KCSWDM. Flow control is exempt for this project as the projects drainage flows to the Cedar
River which is listed as a receiving water in core requirement no. 3. The water quality facility
(wetpond) that was built with previous development was sized to accommodate the project.
Construction activities will include demolition, clearing & grading, roadwork, stormwater
conveyance installation, utilities installation, foundation excavation, home construction, driveway
& patio construction, and landscaping. Construction is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2021 and
estimated to be completed on December 31, 2022. The purpose of this SWPPP is to describe the
proposed construction activities and all temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control
(TESC) measures, pollution prevention measures, inspection/monitoring activities, and
Page | 6
recordkeeping that will be implemented during the proposed construction project. The objectives
of the SWPPP are to:
1. Implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and sediment, and
to identify, reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater contamination and water pollution
from construction activity.
2. Prevent violations of surface water quality, ground water quality, or sediment
management standards.
3. During the construction phase prevent adverse water quality impacts including,
impacts of beneficial uses of the receiving water by controlling peak flow rates and
volumes of stormwater runoff at the Permittee's outfalls and downstream of the
outfalls.
This SWPPP was prepared using the Ecology SWPPP Template downloaded from the Ecology
website on March 15, 2021. The Template has been revised to incorporate all items in the General
NPDES Permit as well as provide more project specific BMPs that will be utilized onsite. This
SWPPP was prepared based on the requirements set forth in the Construction Stormwater
General Permit, Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW 2012).
The site project information for the site is summarized below.

Proposed Construction Activities (1.2)
The site will be cleared according to the T.E.S.C. and Grading Plans. The permanent stormwater
conveyance system will be built according to the Road and Drainage Plans. The proposed
development includes site development and eventual home construction of 45 residential lots for
the construction of attached two- and three-unit buildings pathways and roadways. A system of
pipes and catch basins will be installed to convey stormwater runoff from the developed site and
any onsite contributing basin areas to the existing stormwater facility located west of 140th Way
SE. The existing facility was designed to provide the required water quality and was sized to
accommodate this project.
Page | 8
The site will be constructed in two phases, the Site Development Phase and the Vertical
Construction Phase.
The site development construction phase includes the following activities: Clearing & Grubbing,
Demolition, Sediment Pond and Sediment Trap, Mass Grading/Site Grading, Infrastructure
(utilities, curb and gutter, sidewalks, drives, etc.), and paving operations.
Description of site drainage including flow from and onto adjacent properties. Must be consistent
with Site Map in Appendix A:
In the developed condition stormwater runoff will be routed to the offsite existing stormwater
facility. Through the project constructed conveyance pipes that connect to the offsite stormwater
pipe system within Molasses Creek Apartments and the roadside ditch along WA-169. A portion
of the developed site will be directed to the existing wetland to the south to maintain wetland
hydrology.
In the developed condition the site will be mostly developed. All nonimpervious developed
surfaces will be vegetated with a variety of local shrubs and grass.
Contaminated Site Information:
There are no activities that will result in the contamination of soil and or groundwater planned for
the site during clearing, grading, and/or the construction of the attached two- and three-unit
residences.

Construction Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) (2.0)
The following sections describe BMPs that will be utilized during the construction of the project.
Alternate BMPs for the 12 BMP Elements may be implemented on a need by need basis, should
the 12 Elements below be deemed ineffective or inappropriate during the construction to satisfy
the requirements set forth in the General NPDES Permit. To avoid potential erosion and sediment
control issues that may cause violation(s) of the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit, the
Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead will promptly initiate the implementation of one or
more alternate BMPs after the first sign that existing BMPs are ineffective or failing.
The SWPPP is a living document reflecting current conditions and changes throughout the life
of the project. These changes may be informal (i.e. hand-written notes and deletions). Update
the SWPPP when the CESCL has noted a deficiency in BMPs or deviation from original design.
The 12 Elements (2.1)
Element 1: Preserve Vegetation / Mark Clearing Limits (2.1.1)
5.06 acres of the site are to be developed and mass graded to balance cut and fills. To protect
adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits of
construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Trees that are to be
preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated, both in the
field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native top shall be retained in an
undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible. The BMP relevant to marking the clearing
limits that will be applied for this project include the following:
List and describe BMPs:
High Visibility Fence (BMP C103)
Install colored orange fence to protect areas that are not to be disturbed, and mark trees
to be preserved.
Silt Fence (BMP C233)
Silt fencing shall be used to control sediment flow offsite throughout the construction
process.
Installation Schedules: All BMPs to preserve vegetation and mark clearing limits are to be
installed prior to clearing and grading
Inspection and Maintenance plan: All fencing is to be inspected at the end of each day's work
and repaired if found to noncompliant with BMP specifications
Responsible Staff: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
Page | 10
Element 2: Establish Construction Access (2.1.2)
Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized, yet where
necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public
roads. Street sweeping and street cleaning shall be employed where necessary to prevent
sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled onsite. The specific
BMPs related to establishing construction access hat will be used on this project are as follows:
List and describe BMPs:
Stabilized Construction Entrance (BMP C105)
One quarry spall construction entrance will be placed at the dead end of 124th PL SE,
near the proposed entrance to the site. This stabilized construction entrance will be used
to minimize the amount of sediment transported off site onto the existing roadway by
construction traffic.
Construction Road/Parking Area Stabilization (BMP C107)
Proposed roads shall be stabilized immediately after grading to reduce erosion by
construction traffic or surface water runoff. During vertical construction, apply quarry spall
base on drive approaches for buildings lot/pad access or in other high traffic areas such
as material equipment storage and concrete washout areas.
Concrete Washout Area (BMP C154)
Conduct washout off-site, or perform on-site concrete washout in a designated area.
This is done to prevent pollutants from entering surface or ground water
If sediment is tracked off site, clean the affected roadway thoroughly at the end of each day or
more frequently, as necessary. Remove sediment from roads by shoveling, sweeping, or pickup
and transport of the sediment to a controlled sediment disposal area.
Conduct street washing only after sediment removal in accordance with special condition
S9.D.2.d. Control street wash wastewater by pumping back on site or otherwise preventing it from
discharging off site into catch basins, stormwater conveyance systems, creek, or rivers that
connect to waters of the State.
Installation Schedules: Installation schedule to be determined by the General Contractor
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspection and maintenance is to take place at the end of
each day's work.
Responsible Staff: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
Page | 11
Element 3: Control Flow Rates (2.1.3)
Will you construct stormwater retention and/or detention facilities?
Yes No
Will you use permanent infiltration ponds or other low impact development (example: rain
gardens, bio-retention, porous pavement) to control flow during construction?
Yes No
List and describe BMPs:
Temporary Sediment Trap (BMP C240)
The contractor shall size and constructed temporary sediment pond located in Tract D
near Lot 19, or other approved locations. A temporary outfall shall discharge runoff to the
existing drainage ditch located along the South side of SR-169 and used during
construction to mitigate onside runoff.
Temporary Sediment Pond (BMP C241)
The contractor shall size and constructed temporary sediment pond located in the western
portion of Tract A, or other approved locations. A temporary outfall shall discharge runoff
to the existing drainage ditch located along the South side of SR-169 and used during
construction to mitigate onside runoff.
The project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest. As a result, the project must
comply with the Minimum Requirement 7 (Ecology 2012). Minimum Requirement 7 states that
projects must provide flow control to reduce the impacts of stormwater runoff from impervious
surfaces and land cover conversions.
Essentially, discharge rates of stormwater from the site will be controlled where increases in
impervious area or soil compaction during construction could lead to downstream erosion, or
where necessary to meet local agency stormwater discharge requirements (e.g. discharge to
combined sewer systems).
Installation Schedules: Installation schedule to be determined by the General Contractor
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspection and maintenance is to take place at the end of
each day's work.
Responsible Staff: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
Page | 12
Element 4: Install Sediment Controls (2.1.4)
All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal
BMP before leaving the construction site. The specific BMPs to be used for controlling sediment
on this project are as follows:
List and describe BMPs:
Silt Fence (BMP C233)
During site development phase, silt fence will be used along the downhill perimeter of the
project to prevent sediment from leaving the site.
During the homebuilding phase, sediment control will not be necessary on all lots prior to
disturbance, as many are flat with well established grass cover. Temporary stabilized lots
with slope, or less well established grass cover will be inspected during wet weather
conditions and, if required, silt fence may be used as a sediment control. Before removing
vegetation on the lots, silt fence will be installed as a sediment control behind curb.
Storm Drain Inlet Protection (BMP C220)
Catch basins and storm drain inlets within the project boundary and downstream will have
an approved from of inlet protection installed. This will prevent coarse sediment from
entering the drainage system prior to permanent stabilization of the disturbed draining
area.
In additions, sediment will be removed from paved areas in and adjacent to construction
work areas manually or using a mechanical sweepers, as needed to minimize tracking of
sediments on vehicle tires away from the site and to minimize the transmission of
sediments from adjacent streets in runoff
The following BMPs will be implemented as end-of-pipe sediment controls as required to meet
permitted turbidity limits in the sit discharge(s). Prior to the implementation of these methods,
sediment sources and erosion control and soil stabilization BMP efforts will be maximized to
reduce the need for end-of-pipe sediment controls.
Temporary Sediment Trap (BMP C240)
Temporary Sediment Pond (BMP C241)
Construction Stormwater Filtration (BMP C251)
Construction Stormwater Chemical Treatment (BMP C250) (Implemented only with prior
written approval from Ecology.)
Page | 13
Implement BMP C250/251 above end-of-pipe measures only if sediment sources and erosion
control and soil stabilization BMP efforts are not sufficient to reduce sedimentation
Installation Schedules: Installation schedule to be determined by the General Contractor.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspection and maintenance is to take place at the end of
each day's work.
Responsible Staff: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead

Yes No
List and describe BMPs:
Temporary and Permanent Seeding (BMP C120)
Following final or fine grading activity in the rear and side yards, permanent seeding shall
be placed on exposed soil to provide permanent erosion protection.
Mulching (BMP C121)
During the site development phase, mulching will be used for areas that will be unworked
for more than 2 days. Temporary seeding will be applied to areas that will be unworked
for more than 7 days. During the home building phase, the construction area will be
significantly stabilized through well established grass cover. Proposed driveways will
receive base course materials as described under Element #2 above. Areas cleared for
building foundations or utility and irrigation placement will be temporarily stabilized by one
of the following methods which are based on the period exposed soils are left unworked:
o If exposed soils are left unworked for more than 7 days during the dry season and
2 days during the wet season but less than 30 days, mulching shall be applied.
o If exposed soils are left unworked for more than 30 days, temporary or permanent
seeding shall be applied.
Page | 15
Nets and Blankets (BMP C122)
Once final or fine grading activity has been completed, install Jute Matting on slopes prior
to planting.
Sodding (BMP C124)
Following final or fine grading activity in the front yard, sod shall be placed on exposed
soil to provide permanent and immediate erosion protection.
Plastic Covering (BMP C123)

Utilize stockpile management during all phases of construction per BMP. Cover stockpiles
with plastic covering to prevent erosion during rain events.
Wattles (BMP C235)
Install wattles downslope of newly landscaped areas to control sediment runoff until
stabilization.
Cement or Calcium Chloride may be used for soil stabilization and dewatering. See section 4.2.2
for pH Sampling Requirements.
The project site is located west of the Cascade Mountain Crest. As such, no soils shall remain
exposed and unworked for more than 7 days during the dry season (May 1 to September 30) and
2 days during the wet season (October 1 to April 30). Regardless of the time of year, all soils
shall be stabilized at the end of the shift before a holiday or weekend if needed based on weather
forecasts.
Cut and fill slopes will be stabilized as soon as possible and soil stockpiles will be temporarily
covered with plastic sheeting. All stockpiled soils shall be stabilized from erosion, protected with
sediment trapping measures, and where possible, be located away from storm drain inlets,
waterways, and drainage channels.

The following sections describe the controls, including storage practices to minimize exposure of
the materials to stormwater as well as spill prevention and response practices. All pollutants,
including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur onsite shall be handled and disposed
of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater.
Vehicles, construction equipment, and/or petroleum product storage/dispensing:
All vehicles, equipment, and petroleum product storage/dispensing areas will be inspected
regularly to detect any leaks or spills, and to identify maintenance needs to prevent leaks
or spills. Secondary containment such as drip pans will be placed under any leaking
vehicles or equipment. All petroleum product storage containers will be placed in
secondary containment (see spill prevention and control below).
On-site fueling tanks and petroleum product storage containers shall include secondary
containment.
Page | 20
Spill prevention measures, such as drip pans, will be used when conducting maintenance
and repair of vehicles or equipment or when vehicle/equipment leaks are observed.
In order to perform emergency repairs on site, temporary plastic will be placed beneath
and, if raining, over the vehicle.
Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately following any discharge or spill
incident.
Chemical storage:
Any chemicals stored in the construction areas will conform to the appropriate source
control BMPs listed in Volume IV of the Ecology stormwater manual. In Western WA, all
chemicals shall have cover, containment, and protection provided on site, per BMP C153
for Material Delivery, Storage and Containment in SWMMWW 2012.
Application of agricultural chemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, shall be
conducted in a manner and at application rates that will not result in loss of chemical to
stormwater runoff. Manufacturers’ recommendations for application procedures and rates
shall be followed.
Concrete and grout:
Process water and slurry resulting from concrete work will be prevented from entering the
waters of the State by implementing Concrete Handling measures (BMP C151) and
Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution Prevention (BMP C152).
Sanitary wastewater:
Proper sanitary and septic waste management are waste management and material
pollution controls that 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. Implement as follows:
o Facilities should be located away from drainage facilities, watercourses, and from
traffic circulation.
o Provide a sufficient quantity of facilities to accommodate the workforce.
o Temporary sanitary facilities must be equipped with containment to prevent
discharge of pollutants to the stormwater drainage system of the receiving water.
o When subjected to high winds or risk of high winds, temporary sanitary facilities
should be secured to prevent overturning.
o Sanitary facilities should be located in a convenient location.
o Sanitary or septic wastes should be treated or disposed of in accordance with state
and local requirements.
Page | 21
o Sanitary facilities should be maintained in good working order by a licensed
service.
Solid and Liquid Waste:
Solid and liquid waste generated during construction such as construction materials,
contaminated materials, and waste materials from maintenance activities will be prevented
from entering the waters of the State. Solid and liquid waste shall be handled in
accordance with BMPs for Storage of Liquid, Food Waste, or Dangerous Waste
Containers and BMPs for Loading and Unloading Areas for Liquid or Solid Materials.
o Solid waste will be stored in secure, clearly marked containers.
o Promptly contain and clean up solid and liquid pollutant leaks and spills including
oils, solvents, fuels, and dust from manufacturing operations on any exposed soil,
vegetation, or paved area.
o Sweep paved material handling and storage areas regularly as needed, for the
collection and disposal of dust and debris that could contaminate stormwater. Do
not hose down pollutants from any area to the ground, storm drain, conveyance
ditch, or receiving water unless necessary for dust control purposes to meet air
quality regulations.
Installation Schedules: The described BMPs will be implemented while all pollution generating
materials are onsite.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspection and maintenance is to take place at the end of each
day's work.
Responsible Staff: Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
Will maintenance, fueling, and/or repair of heavy equipment and vehicles occur on-site?
Yes No
Spill Prevention and Control BMPs
Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to drainage systems or watercourses from leaks
and spills by reducing the chance for spills, stopping the source of spills, containing and cleaning
up spills, properly disposing of spill materials, and training employees. This best management
practice covers only spill prevention and control. However, Materials Delivery and Storage (BMP
C153), also contains useful information, particularly on spill prevention.
To the extent that the work can be accomplished safely, spills of oil, petroleum products,
and substances listed under 40 CFR parts 110,117, and 302, and sanitary and septic
wastes should be contained and cleaned up immediately.
Store hazardous materials and wastes in covered containers and protect from vandalism.
Page | 22
Place a stockpile of spill cleanup materials where it will be readily accessible.
Train employees in spill prevention and cleanup.
Designate responsible individuals to oversee and enforce control measures.
Spills should be covered and protected from stormwater runon during rainfall to the extent
that it doesn’t compromise cleanup activities.
Do not bury or wash spills with water.
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 WSDOE
regulations.
Contain water overflow or minor water spillage and do not allow it to discharge into
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.
Keep waste storage areas clean, well organized, and equipped with ample clean supplies
as appropriate for the materials being stored. Perimeter controls, containment structures,
covers, and liners should be repaired or replaced as needed to maintain proper function.
Cleanup:
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 materials are also hazardous and must be sent to either a certified laundry (rags)
or disposed of as hazardous waste.
Never hose down or bury dry material spills. Clean up as much of the material as possible
and dispose of properly.
The spill kit should include, at a minimum:
o 1-Water Resistant Nylon Bag
o 3-Oil Absorbent Socks 3”x 4’
o 2-Oil Absorbent Socks 3”x 10’
o 12-Oil Absorbent Pads 17”x19”
o 1-Pair Splash Resistant Goggles
o 3-Pair Nitrile Gloves
o 10-Disposable Bags with Ties
o Instructions
Spill kits will be located in areas with a high potential for spills and deployed in a manner
that allows rapid access and use by contractors. Some heavy equipment may have on-
board spill kits for small spills. Spill control kits will be inspected and inventoried each
construction season to confirm all required items are present. Spill control kits will be
inventoried after each emergency event and restocked as needed.
Page | 23
Minor Spills:
Minor spills typically involve small quantities of oil, gasoline, paint, etc. which can be
controlled at the discovery of the spill.
Contain the spread of the spill.
Use absorbent materials on small spills rather than hosing down or burying the spill.
Notify the project foreman immediately
Recover spilled materials.
Clean the contaminated area and properly dispose of contaminated materials.
If the spill occurs on paved or impermeable surfaces, clean up using "dry" methods
(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.
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
cessation of all other activities. Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
Significant/Hazardous Spills
For significant or hazardous spills that cannot be controlled by personnel in the immediate
vicinity, the following steps should be taken:
o Notify the local emergency response by dialing 911. In addition to 911, the
contractor will notify the proper City or County officials. All emergency phone
numbers will be posted at the construction site.
o Contact your Supervisor and the Divisional Environmental Manager. For spills of
federal reportable quantities, (examples are listed below) in conformance with the
requirements in 40 CFR parts 110,119, and 302, the Division Environmental
Manager (DEM) will notify the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802. The
DEM will notify the Department of Ecology and any other applicable agencies.
The services of a spills contractor or a Haz-Mat team should be obtained immediately.
Construction personnel should not attempt to clean up until the appropriate and qualified
staffs have arrived at the job site.
Notification should first be made by telephone and followed up with a written report. Other
agencies which may need to be consulted include, but are not limited to, the Public Works
Department, the Coast Guard, the Highway Patrol, the City/County Police Department and
Department of Ecology.

Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP
specification (see Volume II of the SWMMWW or Chapter 7 of the SWMMEW).
Visual monitoring of all BMPs installed at the site will be conducted at least once every calendar
week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the
site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency may be reduced to
once every calendar month.
All temporary ESC BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization is
achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Trapped sediment shall be stabilized on-site or removed. Disturbed soil resulting from removal
of either BMPs or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Additionally, protection must be provided for all BMPs installed for the permanent control of
stormwater from sediment and compaction. BMPs that are to remain in place following
completion of construction shall be examined and restored to full operating condition. If
sediment enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility
shall be returned to conditions specified in the construction documents.

Monitoring and Sampling Requirements (4.0)
Monitoring includes visual inspection, sampling for water quality parameters of concern, and
documentation of the inspection and sampling findings in a site log book. A site log book will be
maintained for all on-site construction activities and will include:
A record of the implementation of the SWPPP and other permit requirements
Site inspections
Stormwater sampling data
Create your own Site Inspection Form or use the Construction Stormwater Site Inspection Form
found on Ecology’s website. https://www.ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Permits-
certifications/Stormwater-general-permits/Construction-stormwater-permit
File a blank form under Appendix D.
The site log book must be maintained on-site within reasonable access to the site and be made
available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
Numeric effluent limits may be required for certain discharges to 303(d) listed waterbodies. See
CSWGP Special Condition S8 and Section 5 of this template.
Site Inspection (4.1)
Site inspections will be conducted at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours
following any discharge from the site. For sites that are temporarily stabilized and inactive, the
required frequency is reduced to once per calendar month.
The discharge point(s) are indicated on the Site Map (see Appendix A) and in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the CSWGP.
Stormwater Quality Sampling (4.2)
Turbidity Sampling (4.2.1)
Requirements include calibrated turbidity meter or transparency tube to sample site discharges
for compliance with the CSWGP. Sampling will be conducted at all discharge points at least
once per calendar week.
Method for sampling turbidity:
Table 8 – Turbidity Sampling Method
Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter (required for disturbances 5 acres or greater in size)
x Transparency Tube (option for disturbances less than 1 acre and up to 5 acres in size)
The benchmark for turbidity value is 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and a transparency
less than 33 centimeters.
Page | 34
If the discharge’s turbidity is 26 to 249 NTU or the transparency is less than 33 cm but equal to
or greater than 6 cm, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9. Make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark.
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
If the turbidity exceeds 250 NTU or the transparency is 6 cm or less at any time, the following
steps will be conducted:
1. Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology Region’s
Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) within 24 hours.

Compliance with the water quality limit for turbidity is achieved.
o 1 - 5 NTU over background turbidity, if background is less than 50 NTU
o 1% - 10% over background turbidity, if background is 50 NTU or greater
The discharge stops or is eliminated.
Page | 35
pH Sampling (4.2.2)
pH monitoring is required for “Significant concrete work” (i.e. greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete or recycled concrete over the life of the project).The use of engineered soils
(soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement-treated base [CTB], cement kiln
dust [CKD] or fly ash) also requires pH monitoring.
For significant concrete work, pH sampling will start the first day concrete is poured and
continue until it is cured, typically three (3) weeks after the last pour.
For engineered soils and recycled concrete, pH sampling begins when engineered soils or
recycled concrete are first exposed to precipitation and continues until the area is fully
stabilized.
If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following measures will be taken:
1. Prevent high pH water from entering storm sewer systems or surface water.
2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water to the range of 6.5 to 8.5 su using appropriate
technology such as carbon dioxide (CO2) sparging (liquid or dry ice).
3. Written approval will be obtained from Ecology prior to the use of chemical treatment
other than CO2 sparging or dry ice.

8.0 CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (CSWPP) ANALYSIS
AND DESIGN
A. Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan Analysis and Design
The erosion and sediment control plans were prepared in accordance with the 2009 King
County Surface Water Design Manual, and standard industry practices throughout the
construction process to limit the amount of sediment traveling into the downstream
systems.
The BMPs being proposed include a stabilized rocked construction entrance, silt fence
where needed, NGPE fencing, straw mulch for the areas that reach final grade in the lot
areas, V-ditches with rock check dams, temporary sediment ponds, and hydro seeding.
Clearing limits are shown on the final engineering plans.
Two temporary sediment ponds have been placed at the downstream drainage points of
the project. A sediment pond (sediment pond #1) is located at the northwest corner and
one a sediment trap is located at the northeast corner (sediment trap #2). Sediment pond
#1 has a basin area of 3.29 acres. Sediment trap #1 has a basin area of 1.43 acres.
The WWHM program was used to size the sediment pond and sediment trap. The full basin
area was assumed to be landscape (grass) area. The 2-year predicted flow rate was used
to size the sediment trap and the 10-year flow rate was used to size the sediment pond.
Sediment Trap #1 (NE CORNER):
S.A. = 2 x Q2/0.00096 = 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
Q2 = 0.134 (See WWHM calculations)
S.A. = 0.134 x 2080 = 279 sf
S.A. Required = 279 sf
S.A. Provided = 1,015 sf
Sediment Pond #1 (NW corner):
S.A. = 2 x Q10/0.00096 = 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
Q10 = 0.745 (See WWHM calculations)
S.A. = 0.745 x 2080 = 396 sf
S.A. Required = 1,550 sf
S.A. Provided = 1,630 sf
· Find Size of Dewatering Orifice:
A0 = SA(2H)0.5 SA = 1,550 sf
0.6 x 3,600Tg0.5 H = 3.5 feet
T = 24 hours
G = 32.2 ft/s2
A0 = 1,550(2 x 3.5)0.5
0.6 x 3,600 x 24 x 32.20.5
A0 = 0.0139 sf
21397.002-TIR.docx
· Find Orifice Diameter:
D = 24 x p
0A =13.54 x 0A 13.54 x √0.0139
D = 1.60 inches
B. Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill (SWPPS) Plan Design
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared with the final
engineering plan approval process. The SWPPP report will be prepared following the
Department of Ecology (DOE) format and will be kept on-site during all construction
activities. The SWPPP report will include a narrative discussion of construction BMP’s that
will be implemented during construction, based on the 13 required elements as defined by
DOE. The SWPPP report will also outline inspection, monitoring, and reporting
requirements to meet the requirements of the NPDES permit.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill (SWPPS) Site Plan is also included in the
construction plans. This plan provided suggested locations for:
· equipment parking/maintenance areas
· chemical storage areas with secondary containment
· construction materials and construction waste storage areas
· truck wheel washout areas
This plan also provides general locations of erosion control such as silt fencing, temporary
sediment traps, construction entrances, and clearing limits.
The site is generally underlain by alluvial soils. A seasonally high groundwater table will be
present during the wet winter and early spring months.
Potential Spill Sources or Releases
Potential spill sources during construction will include materials and equipment brought on-
site. Potential spill sources include; fueling, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, backhoes,
bulldozers, water trucks, support trucks, lighting units, pumps, and generators. Equipment
staging and maintenance areas for fueling, hazardous materials, and hazardous waste
materials have been designated on the SWPPS. Construction debris will be present during
demolition of the existing on-site buildings. No fuel tanks, gasoline, oils and hydraulic fuels
will be stored on-site.
Control Pollutants
Pollutants other than sediment will be controlled as part of the implemented SWPPS plan.
Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles that may result in discharge or
spillage of pollutants to the ground or surface water runoff will be conducted using spill
prevention measures. Contaminated surfaces will be cleaned immediately following any
discharge or spill incident. Spills will be reported within 24 hours. Emergency repairs may
be performed on-site using temporary plastic placed beneath and, if raining, over the
vehicle.

Concrete truck chutes and pumps shall be washed out only into formed areas awaiting
installation of concrete or asphalt. Unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump shall
be returned to the originating batch plant for recycling. Hand tools including, but not limited
to, screeds, shovels, rakes and trowels shall be washed off only into formed areas awaiting
installation of concrete or asphalt. When no formed areas are available, washwater and
leftover product shall be contained in a lined container or in a sump designed to receive
the materials. Contained concrete shall be disposed of in manner that does not violate
groundwater or surface water quality standards. Recommended BMP’s include Concrete
Handling (BMP C151)
Spill Prevention and Containment
The following is a list of BMP’s that will be used for the project.
· Store and maintain equipment in a designated area.
· Reduce the amount of hazardous materials and waste by substituting non-hazardous
or less hazardous materials.
· Use secondary containment (drain pan) to catch spills when removing or changing
fluids.
· Use proper equipment (pumps, funnels) to transfer fluids
· Keep spill kits readily accessible.
· Check incoming vehicles for leaking oil and fluids.
· Transfer used fluids and oil filters to waste or recycling drums.
· Inspect equipment immediately, if necessary.
· Implement a preventative maintenance schedule for equipment and vehicles.
· Perform fueling in designated fueling area.
· Do not “top-off” tanks
· Use secondary containment (drain pan) to catch spills.
· Keep spill kits readily accessible.
· Inspect fueling areas routinely for leaks and spills.
· Monitor pollution prevention BMP’s and maintain records/reports of all inspections
using the worksheets at the end of this section.
Spill Response
Response in the first 15 minutes is critical to minimize the impacts to human health and
the environment and to minimize property damage and cleanup costs. The contractor will
respond immediately to spills and regulated materials. Spill response equipment shall be
stored in spill response kits located in a clearly marked and accessible area. The standard
approach toward spill response will be as follows:
· Stop operations.
· Stop the source of the spill.
· Use appropriate materials to absorb, berm, or cover the area to prevent further
contamination.
21397.002-TIR.docx
· Notify the construction manager.
· Determine the method of clean up required. All methods shall comply with the state
or local requirements to spill response.
· Contact a cleanup response firm if necessary.

A SWPPP report has also been prepared following the Department of Ecology (Ecology)
format and will be kept on-site during all construction activities. The SWPPP report
includes a narrative discussion of construction BMP’s that will be implemented during
construction, based on the 12 required elements as defined by Ecology. The SWPPP
report also outlines inspection, monitoring, and reporting requirements to meet the
requirements of the NPDES permit.
