Proposed Construction Activities (1.2)
Description of site development:
The proposed development will subdivide two existing parcels into 8 single-family residential
lots. The proposal will include new right-of-way improvements on both SE 132nd Street and
164th Avenue SE.
Description of construction activities:
The project site will be cleared and graded prior to the start of construction. The development of
the site will include site grading and utilities installation. Utilities will include stormwater, sanitary
sewer, potable water, road development, and all private utilities.
Description of site drainage including flow from and onto adjacent properties:
A Level 2 Downstream Analysis from the engineering Technical Information Report has been
included in this section.
Level II Downstream Analysis
Task 1: Study Area Definition and Maps
The project site is split between two major basins, May Creek basin to the north and Lower
Cedar River basin to the south.
The north portion of the site drains to a large wetland located just south of SE 128th Street via
existing conveyance systems in SE 132nd Street and 164th Avenue SE. The south portion of the
site drains to a stormwater pond (King County Stormwater Facility D97367) located near Liberty
High School. This drainage path conveys stormwater runoff through private properties to the
pond, located approximately ¼ mile south of the site.
Task 2: Resource Review
The following resources were utilized for the downstream analysis:
· Adapted Basin Plan – Based on the King County iMap website, the site borders two
basins, May Creek and Lower Cedar River.
· Floodplain/Floodway (FEMA) Maps – The site is not within a mapped 100-year
floodplain.
· Offsite Analysis Reports – The downstream analysis for Harmony Grove (Threadgill Plat)
was used in assessing the downstream analysis for the south basin.
· Sensitive Area Information – Based on the King County iMap website, the site is not
located within a coal mine, 100-year floodplain, seismic, erosion, landslide, or wetland
area.
· King County iMap Drainage Complaints – Drainage Complaints from the King County
iMap website and King County Water and Land Resources Division have been reviewed
and utilized for this report.
Task 3: Field Inspection
On August 17, 2016 and November 11, 2016, field inspections were performed on the study
area to locate any existing or potential problems. The following section (Task 4) of this report
provides a detailed description of each drainage component in the downstream flowpath of the
two basins.
Task 4: Drainage System Description and Problem Descriptions
The downstream conveyance systems are described below. Components of each system are
itemized and illustrated in the offsite analysis drainage system tables.
North Basin:
The roadside ditch (Component 1 on North Offsite Analysis Drainage Table) in SE 132nd Street picks up
the flows from the northern basin and conveys to east where the flow enters a 12” ADS pipe. The runoff
is then routed to 164th Avenue SE via series of 12” ADS pipes and Type 1 catch basins. (Components 2 to
6) The flow then enters a roadside ditch near the intersection of SE 131st Place and 164th Avenue SE
where it enters a 12” concrete pipe culvert (Component 8), crosses SE 131st Place and continues to flow
north in a 12” ADS pipe (Component 9) The stormwater then enters a roadside ditch (Component 10)
and travel north to a low point where it enters 12” concrete pipe culvert (Component 12) and crosses
164th Avenue SE. The stormwater then enters a wetland stream channel (Component 13) and flows
north to the wetland area. The runoff from the wetland is discharged to a stream channel located just
south of SE 128th Street and flows up north along the 164th Avenue SE (Components 15 and 16).
South Basin:
The runoff from the Basin S1 including the south portion of the site drains to a private open ditch
located on the west property line of the parcel just south of the site. (Component 1 on South
Offsite Analysis Drainage Table) The runoff then enters series of pipe system with Type I catch
basins (Components 2 to 4) through private properties and connects to a Type I catch basin
located on the north side of SE 135th Street. (Component 5) The flow then crosses SE 135th
Street and enters a private 12” storm pipe. (Component 6) The stormwater is then routed to an
open channel that carries flow to south where it connects to a stream channel in a forested
area. (Components 7 and 8)
The steam channel meanders through the forested area and enters 30” concrete culvert pipe
located on the north property fence line of Liberty High School. (Component 9) The flow then
enters a short stream channel with 30” CMP with trash rack (Component 11) and eventually
ends up in the detention pond. (Component 12)
The stream channel meanders through the forested area and enters a 30” concrete culvert
located on the north property fence line of Liberty High School. (Component 9) The flows are
then conveyed by a short stream channel before entering a 30” CMP culvert with trash rack
(Component 11). This element outlets to the detention pond near Liberty High School.
(Component 12)
Existing Drainage Component Conditions:
Drainage components in both basins were in good condition at the time of field inspection, and
there were no signs of erosion or flooding in any of the drainage components. Besides the
stream channels to the wetland and heavily forested areas, most of the ditches and catch
basins were well maintained and no major sediment accumulations were observed.
Capacity Analysis:
Using the Ration Method, 25-year flows were determined and compared with the capacity of
existing drainage components. Based on the Manning formula, a 12” diameter pipe sloped at 2
to 10 percent has conveyance capacity ranging from 5.46 to 12.21 CFS. The capacities for the
open ditches in the north basin ranges from 40 to 167 CFS.
Based on the capacity estimation above, south basin pipe components 2 to 6 meet the 25-year
peak flow requirement. Downstream Drainage Complains:
Drainage complaints along the downstream systems after 2006 were identified and obtained
from King County Water and Land Resources Division. For the south basin, no drainage
complains were identified for the ¼ mile reach. Five drainage complaints were identified for the
north basin. (Refer to Appendix E for the copies of drainage complaints) Those complaints are
mainly for the stream channel north of the wetland near SE 128th Street and mostly concerning
high-water level of the channel due to beaver dam activities and debris blocking the culvert inlet.
It is our opinion that those complaints can be addressed with regular maintenance and frequent
inspection of the channel. With regular maintenance, no flooding or erosion problem is
anticipated with the existing channel.
Task 5: Mitigation of Existing and Potential Problems
The downstream analysis shows that the project has a minor type 1 conveyance system
nuisance problem. To mitigate the problem, the project will provide detention/wet vaults that
meet the flow control duration standard matching forested conditions. The duration-matching
criteria of the proposed detention/wet vaults prevent increases in overflow volume by
maintaining or reducing the developed flow volumes to existing forested condition for peak flows
rangin 50% of the 2-year up to the full 50-year.
Description of final stabilization:
Final stabilization will include revegetation and landscaping of exposed areas, as well as paving
of roads and sidewalks. A full description can be seen in the landscape plan in the engineering
plan sheets.
Contaminated Site Information:
Proposed activities regarding contaminated soils or groundwater:
There are no known contaminated soils on site.
Construction Stormwater Best Management Practices
(BMPs) (2.0)
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)
The limits of clearing and grading will be marked in several ways around the site depending on
the location. Combination high visibility orange/silt fencing will be installed along clearing limits.
Several trees and other areas of natural vegetation are scheduled to be retained on the site.
Trees that are within the clearing limits will need to be protected with a tree protection fence.
The development will employ the listed BMPs in order to protect vegetation from three kinds of
injuries: Construction Equipment, Grade Changes, and Excavations.
During the clearing effort, the topsoil and duff materials should be kept in a separate stockpile
for future use to help promote grass growth during project close out.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation
BMP C103: High Visibility Fence
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Installation Schedules: Marking the clearing limits is one of the first things to be accomplished
on the construction site. Prior to any site clearing or grading, areas that are to remain
undisturbed during project construction shall be delineated. Once all plat construction is
complete, leaving just the residences to be constructed, the clearing limit BMP’s may be
removed as approved by the City. Portions of fencing may remain in place if the residence
construction is scheduled to begin.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: The clearing limits should be observed on a daily basis and
thoroughly inspected weekly to ensure they are in place and functioning to protect areas that
are not being cleared. If tree roots have been exposed or injured, “prune” cleanly with an
appropriate pruning saw or loppers directly above the damaged roots and rcover with native
soils. The uphill side of the fencing should be checked regularly for signs of clogging. Sediment
deposits should be removed when the deposit reaches approximately one-third the height of the
silt fence. Any damaged or missing portions of the clearing limit BMP’s should be repaired or
replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 2: Establish Construction Access (2.1.2)
A stabilized construction entrance is proposed for this site. If construction vehicles are observed
to be tracking soil onto the roads, the construction entrance will be maintained via the
replacement/cleaning of the quarry spalls. If refreshment of the construction access proves
ineffective, a wheel wash can be installed at the construction access. A gravel construction
parking area is proposed for contractor staging.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C105: Stabilized Construction Entrance
BMP C107: Construction Road/Parking Area Stabilization
Installation Schedules: The stabilized construction entrance should be established at the start of
construction for all active access points. The construction road/parking area stabilization should
be established after preliminary grading is completed.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: The construction entrance will be observed daily for any
deficiencies such as dirt or mud covering the rocks. Also, the public roads will be observed on a
continual basis during vehicle exiting to ensure no soil deposits are being tracked onto the
roadway. If the construction entrance proves inadequate to prevent soil from being deposited
onto the roadway, additional measures will be necessary, including street sweeping and the use
of a wheel wash for pervasive failures. Other stabilized areas will be inspected regularly,
especially after large storm events. Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMP’s should
be repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 3: Control Flow Rates (2.1.3)
At all times, flow rates shall be controlled for this project. Natural drainage patterns shall be
protected as much as possible during construction, and concentrated flow should not be
permitted. Properties and waterways downstream from development sites shall be protected
from erosion due to increases in the volume, velocity, and peak flow rate of stormwater runoff
from the project site. The two stormwater detention/water quality vaults will be utilized as
temporary sediment ponds. Prior to leaving the construction site, stormwater runoff will be
directed to these facilities in order to control flow rates. Check dams and outlet protections will
be utilized to reduce flow velocities and prevent scour.
Will you construct stormwater retention and/or detention facilities?
Yes No
Two permanent stormwater detention/water quality vaults and associated infrastructure
will be constructed on site. The vaults have been sufficiently sized to accommodate the
devoped site flows.
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:
BMP C207: Check Dams
BMP C209: Outlet Protection
BMP C241: Temporary Sediment Pond
Installation Schedules: Construction of the BMPs and associated infrastructure is scheduled for
the beginning of the project. The measures described above are required throughout
construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: The BMPs should be inspected on a weekly basis to verify
that the capacity has not diminished due to sedimentation in such a way that the BMP loses
efficiency. Check dams shall be monitored for performance and sediment accumulation during
and after each runoff producing rainfall. Sediment should be removed when it reaches one half
the sump depth. Rock lining should be added as needed to maintain the intended function of the
check dams and outlet protection. Sediment should be removed from the pond when it reaches
1-foot in depth. Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMPs should be repaired or
replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 4: Install Sediment Controls (2.1.4)
In order to minimize the discharge of pollutants, this project will utilize the listed sediment control
BMPs. The two stormwater detention/water quality vaults will be utilized as temporary sediment
ponds. Areas of disturbed soil shall be routed directly to the vaults before discharging from the
site. Silt fencing, as well as interceptor swales will serve to convey flows to the sediment control
BMPs.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C233: Silt Fence
BMP C241: Temporary Sediment Pond
Installation Schedules: Implimentation of sediment control BMPs is scheduled for the beginning
of the project. These BMPs will be functional before other land disturbing activities take place.
The measures described above are required throughout construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: The sediment control facilities should be inspected on a
weekly basis to verify that the capacity has not diminished due to sedimentation in such a way
that the BMP loses efficiency. The uphill side of the fencing should be checked regularly for
signs of clogging. Sediment deposits should be removed when the deposit reaches
approximately one-third the height of the silt fence. Sediment should be removed from the pond
when it reaches 1-foot in depth. Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMPs should be
repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 5: Stabilize Soils (2.1.5)
Soils on site will be stabilized as appropriate through a variety of methods. These BMPs will be
implemented when soil is to remain unworked or at the threat of rain throughout the project.
Areas to be paved will be stabilized by the early application of a gravel base.
Stock piles will be covered with plastic sheeting unless an extended period of storage is
expected, in which case the stockpiles should be seeded and covered with mulch and an
erosion control net. Runoff from plastic sheeting will be directed to an acceptable discharge
location.
During the hot summer months, dust control is necessary. This is accomplished by applying
water to dry soils routinely. The water should not be applied in a way that creates runoff,
however.

Will you construct during the wet season?
Yes No
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation
BMP C120: Temporary and Permanent Seeding
BMP C121: Mulching
BMP C123: Plastic Covering
BMP C140: Dust Control
Installation Schedules: Soil Stabilization BMPs will be applied as deemed necessary. Exposed
areas should be evaluated and covered to prevent impacts to roadways, drainage ways, or
surface waters. Seeding shall be used throughout the project on disturbed areas that have
reached final grade or that will remain unworked for more than 30 days.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Soil Stabilization BMPs should be reviewed daily and
thoroughly inspected weekly and after each rainfall event to ensure they are functioning
appropriately. All deficiencies shall be repaired or replaced in accordance with the number of
days exposed soils may be left exposed. Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMPs
should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 6: Protect Slopes (2.1.6)
The steepest slopes existing on the site are located in the northeastern edge of the construction
area. All slopes created on the site will be stabilized upon completion of grading with a
combination of hydroseed and mulch. Seeding will be utilized on disturbed areas that have
reached final grade of that will remain unworked for more than 30 days.
Will steep slopes be present at the site during construction?
Yes No
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C120: Temporary and Permanent Seeding
BMP C121: Mulching
Installation Schedules: Slopes are to be protected throughout construction.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Stabilized slopes created during construction should be
inspected on a weekly basis and after every rainfall event. Repairs to stabilization BMPs should
be made in accordance to the exposed soils schedule. Areas that fail to establish at least 80
percent cover will be reseeded as necessary. Any damaged or missing portions of the site
BMPs should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 7: Protect Drain Inlets (2.1.7)
Catch basin inserts will be installed on all onsite and downstream catch basins.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C220: Storm Drain Inlet
Installation Schedules: Storm drain inlets are to be installed prior to the start of construction for
all existing inlets. Constructed onsite catch basins will be protected prior to the first gravel lift.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: All facilities should be inspected weekly and after every
rainfall event. BMPs showing 1/3 of their capacity full of sediment should have the sediment
removed or the unit replaced. Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMPs should be
repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets (2.1.8)
A permanent drainage system will be constructed to convey flows to the stormwater
detention/water quality vaults. Runoff will be directed to these BMPs via a series of temporary
interceptor swales and culverts. The swales will be constructed with a check dams to reduce the
stormwater flow velocities. Outlet protection in the form of riprap pads have been included at
applicable locations to reduce flow velocities and scouring.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C207: Check Dams
BMP C209: Outlet Protection
Installation Schedules: Stabilization BMPs are to be implemented after temporary channels are
constructed. Channel lining shall be used if other measures prove insufficient for stabilization.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Check dams shall be monitored for performance and
sediment accumulation during and after each runoff producing rainfall. Sediment should be
removed when it reaches one half the sump depth. Rock lining should be added as needed to
maintain the intended function of the check dams and outlet protection. Any damaged or
missing portions of the site BMPs should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 9: Control Pollutants (2.1.9)
The following pollutants are anticipated to be present on-site:
Table 2 – Pollutants
Pollutant (and source, if applicable)
Gasoline in vehicles
Concrete poured in place
There are no known pollutants contained on the existing site. During construction, the contractor
will need to conduct maintenance, fueling, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles at the
designated gravel contractor parking area, as spills of hazardous materials could result in an
environmental event.
If a wheel wash is incorporated into the protection plan, the contractor will discharge wheel
wash wastewater to a separate on-site treatment system that prevents discharge to surface
water, such as closed-loop recirculation or upland land application, or to the sanitary sewer, with
local sewer district approval.
Concrete will be handled in ways to eliminate concrete, concrete process water, and concrete
slurry from entering waters of the state.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C151: Concrete Handling
BMP C152: Sawcutting and Surfacing Pollution Prevention
BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment
BMP C154: Concrete Washout Area
Installation Schedules: BMPs will be implemented at the beginning of construction and as
needed throughout the project. Concrete washout BMPs shall be in place prior to the
commencement of concrete work.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Inspection of the concrete washout area should be done
weekly and prior to expected concrete pours. Washout facilities must be cleaned, or new
facilities must be constructed and ready for use one the washout is 75% full. Secondary
containment facilities should be inspected daily and repaired or replaced as necessary.
Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately following any discharge or spill incident.
Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMPs should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Will maintenance, fueling, and/or repair of heavy equipment and vehicles occur on-site?
Yes No
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C153: Material Delivery, Storage and Containment

During this construction activity, the pH levels of stormwater runoff must be monitored. If pH
levels exceed 8.5, the level will need to be corrected. The use of CO2 per WDOE standards will
rapidly neutralize the water and make it suitable for discharge.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C252 High pH Neutralization using CO2
Installation Schedules: pH neutralization using CO2 will be implemented as necessary to correct
pH levels in excess of 8.5.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Operators will keep written records related to treatment as
detailed in the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. A copy of this record
should be given to the client/contractor who should retain the record for three years.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Concrete trucks must not be washed out onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches,
streets, or streams. Excess concrete must not be dumped on-site, except in designated
concrete washout areas with appropriate BMPs installed.
Element 10: Control Dewatering (2.1.10)
The proposed stormwater detention/water quality vaults will require dewatering during the
construction process. Dewatering water will be discharged via one of the approved treatment or
disposal options by the Washington DOE. Discharges can be directed through existing
vegetation or vegetative filtration areas as long as runoff does not occur.
List and describe BMPs:
BMP C236: Vegetative Filtration
Installation Schedules: Dewatering BMPs will be established prior to the commencement of
dewatering activities.
Inspection and Maintenance plan: Containment facilities should be inspected regularly and
repaired or replaced as necessary. Any damaged or missing portions of the site BMPs should
be repaired or replaced immediately.
Responsible Staff: CESCL
Element 11: Maintain BMPs (2.1.11)
All temporary and permanent Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) BMPs shall be maintained
and repaired as needed to ensure continued performance of their intended function.
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 will 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 will be examined and restored to full operating condition. If sediment
enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility will be
returned to conditions specified in the construction documents.
Element 12: Manage the Project (2.1.12)
The project will be managed based on the following principles:
· Projects will be phased to the maximum extent practicable and seasonal work limitations
will be taken into account.
· Inspection and monitoring:
o Inspection, maintenance and repair of all BMPs will occur as needed to ensure
performance of their intended function.
o Site inspections and monitoring will be conducted in accordance with Special
Condition S4 of the CSWGP. Sampling locations are indicated on the Site Map.
Sampling station(s) are located in accordance with applicable requirements of
the CSWGP.
· Maintain an updated SWPPP.
o The SWPPP will be updated, maintained, and implemented in accordance with
Special Conditions S3, S4, and S9 of the CSWGP.
As site work progresses the SWPPP will be modified routinely to reflect changing site
conditions. The SWPPP will be reviewed monthly to ensure the content is current.

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 6 – 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.
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.

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.
4. Continue to sample discharges daily until one of the following is true:
· Turbidity is 25 NTU (or lower).
· Transparency is 33 cm (or greater).
· 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.
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.

Reporting and Record Keeping (6.0)
Record Keeping (6.1)
Site Log Book (6.1.1)
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
· Sample logs
Records Retention (6.1.2)
Records will be retained during the life of the project and for a minimum of three (3) years
following the termination of permit coverage in accordance with Special Condition S5.C of the
CSWGP.
Permit documentation to be retained on-site:
· CSWGP
· Permit Coverage Letter
· SWPPP
· Site Log Book
Permit documentation will be provided within 14 days of receipt of a written request from
Ecology. A copy of the SWPPP or access to the SWPPP will be provided to the public when
requested in writing in accordance with Special Condition S5.G.2.b of the CSWGP.
Updating the SWPPP (6.1.3)
The SWPPP will be modified if:
· Found ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site.
· There is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction
site that has, or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters
of the State.
The SWPPP will be modified within seven (7) days if inspection(s) or investigation(s) determine
additional or modified BMPs are necessary for compliance. An updated timeline for BMP
implementation will be prepared.
Reporting (6.2)
Discharge Monitoring Reports (6.2.1)
Cumulative soil disturbance is one (1) acre or larger; therefore, Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) will be submitted to Ecology monthly. If there was no discharge during a given
monitoring period the DMR will be submitted as required, reporting “No Discharge”. The DMR
due date is fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar month.
DMRs will be reported online through Ecology’s WQWebDMR System.
Notification of Noncompliance (6.2.2)
If any of the terms and conditions of the permit is not met, and the resulting noncompliance may
cause a threat to human health or the environment, the following actions will be taken:
1. Ecology will be notified within 24-hours of the failure to comply by calling the applicable
Regional office ERTS phone number (Regional office numbers listed below).
2. Immediate action will be taken to prevent the discharge/pollution or otherwise stop or
correct the noncompliance. If applicable, sampling and analysis of any noncompliance
will be repeated immediately and the results submitted to Ecology within five (5) days of
becoming aware of the violation.
3. A detailed written report describing the noncompliance will be submitted to Ecology
within five (5) days, unless requested earlier by Ecology.
Anytime turbidity sampling indicates turbidity is 250 NTUs or greater, or water transparency is 6
cm or less, the Ecology Regional office will be notified by phone within 24 hours of analysis as
required by Special Condition S5.A of the CSWGP.
