MANAGEMENT OF EROSION, SEDIMENTATION, AND STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION

220.01 Description

This work consists of overseeing the construction and maintenance of erosion and sediment control measures, in accordance with these specifications, in compliance with the details shown in the Contract, and as approved by the Resident Engineer. The purpose of this work is to minimize or elim inate air pollution and pollution of rivers, streams, impoundments, and private properties from the discharge of dust and/ or storm water associated with construction activity. Below is a listing of terms and definitions as they apply to these specificatio ns: Authorization to Discharge. The document issued from ODEQ , as a result of the NOI application, serving as the official notification of the site specific permit. BMPs (Best Management Practices) . A wide range of project management practices, schedules, activities, or prohibition of practices, that when used alone or in combination, prevent or reduce erosion, sedimentation, and/or pollution of adjacent properties, water bodies, and wetlands. BMPs include temporary or permanent structural and nonstructura l devices and practices. Completion Date. See Subsection 101.05, "Definitions," or Subsection 105.17, “Project Completion and Acceptance.” Erosion. The detachment and movement of soi l particles from their original location by force of water, wind, ice, and gravity. MANAGEMENT OF EROSI ON, SEDIMENTATION, AND STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION 220.01 Erosion Control. Erosion control reduces the potential of soil particles from being detached by the use of soil stabilizing practices. These practices are noted in the SWM P and SWPPP . Final Stabilization. A point in time when all earth -disturbing activities are complete and permanent erosion and sediment controls are established and functional. The stabilized site is protected from erosive forces of raindrop impact and wat er flow. Typically, all unpaved areas except graveled shoulders, crushed aggregate base course, or other areas not covered by permanent structures are protected by either a uniform blanket of perennial vegetation (at least 70 percent of native background cover as found in the undisturbed surrounding area) or equivalent stabilization measures including but not limited to riprap, geotextiles, gabions or paved ditches. NOI (Notice of Intent). The OPDES General Permit application form to commence earth -disturb ing activities for storm water discharges on projects which have earth disturbing activities of 1 acre or more. NOT (Notice of Termination). The OPDES General Permit application form indicating the end of earth -disturbing activities and the attainment of Final Stabilization . OPDES. Oklahoma Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Act. ODEQ. Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. ODEQ/OPDES General Permit. The General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities, issued by the ODEQ under the OPDES regulations. It requires a SWPPP before earth -disturbing activities for the project. ODEQ is the regulatory, enforcement and permitting authority for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the State of Oklahoma. Sediment Control. Sediment control minimizes detached particles from leaving the site or entering a water body by the use of structural practices. These practices are noted in the SWMP and SWPPP . Sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when the eroded particles are deposited in a new location. SPRP (Spill Prevention and Response Plan). The Contractor’s detailed plan for prevention of pollution that stems from the use, containment, cleanup, and disposal of hazardous material, including petroleum products generated by construction activities and the use of construction equipment. SWMP (Storm Water Management Plan) . The Department ’s general plan for control of project -related Erosion and Sedimentation . It is developed by the Department and included in the Contract documents. It se rves as a resource for bid estimation and a framework from which the Contractor develops the project SWPPP . The SWMP normally consists of the following:  SWMP Information Sheet;  Site Specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Sheets;  Summary of Disturbed A reas Draining to a Common Outfall  Contract Pay Items with Plan Notes;  Summary of Temporary and Permanent Erosion and Sediment Controls; and  Site Specific Drainage Map.

220.04 Management of Erosion, Sedimentation, and Storm Water Pollution Prevention

SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan). The Contractors plan for erosion and sediment control and storm water management under the OPDES General Permit . The SWPPP is developed by incorporating pertinent information supplied by the Department ( SWMP ) with the Contractors’ information and describi ng site -specific controls and management of issues identified for the project based upon construction sequences and activities. See specific requirements in Subsection 220.04.C, "Contractor Responsibilities for SWPPP ."

220.02 Materials

ODEQ’s final inspection must not have any critical exceptions for the project to be declared complete and the Contractor relieved of any related construction site responsibilities, in accordance with Subsection 105.17 , “Project Completion and Acceptance. ” ODEQ will require the Contractor to apply for a new permit if the project does not have 70 percent stabilization or any other discrepancies are found. ODEQ offers a n inspection Request form that will aid the Contractor in determining whether a project will be accepted for termination before it submits the NOT. An Inspection Request can only be submitted to ODEQ every 90 days.
G.Off-Site Pollution Prevention Plan Prepare and submit SWPPP documenta tion complying with the latest version of the OPDES General Permit to ODEQ for all related work to take place outside the project right -of-way. Submit copies of required SWPPP’s storm water permit documents for borrow pits, work/maintenance yards, and was te disposal yards, asphalt and concrete plants dedicated to the project to the Resident Engineer at least 48 hr before related work starts. Install, repair, and maintain BMPs outside of the project limits at no additional cost to the Department.
H.Contra ctor's Operations Keep to a minimum project activity within the right -of-way in areas other than on the paved roadway to prevent damage and destruction of existing vegetation. Keep all construction areas in an orderly condition, and promptly dispose of all refuse and discarded materials. Repair or replace erosion and sediment control measures damaged due to negligence, improper installation, or lack of maintenance at no additional cost to the Department.
1.Sequence of Operations Schedule and conduct an on -site inspection with the Resident Engineer to review and designate the locations and types of erosion and sediment control protection to be placed prior to beginning any work that will disturb existing vegetation. Indicate on the SWPPP, proposed erosion and sediment control devices used to divert flows, store flows, limit runoff from exposed areas, stabilize exposed soil, and filter sediment for each phase of the scheduled work. Coordinate the placement of the temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures shown in the SWMP with up -to-date documented amendments to ensure effective and continuous erosion and sediment control throughout construction. Do not initiate earth -disturbing operations until the Resident Engineer has reviewed the SWPPP and the appropriate erosion control measures are in place.
2.Protection of Watercourses Locate and construct stockpiles, waste disposal areas, maintenance and storage yards, and haul roads within the project limits in a manner that will prevent sediment and other pollutants from

220.04 Management of Erosion, Sedimentation, and Storm Water Pollution Prevention

entering streams and water impoundment areas or leaving the project site. Maintain a 50 ft. buff er zone from watercourses when practicable. Do not operate mechanized equipment in perennial streams, unless otherwise allowed in the Contract. Clear streambeds and watercourses, as soon as practical , of false work, piling, debris, and other obstructions placed during construction which are not part of the finished work. Do not deposit any waste, including concrete or asphalt, or clean haul trucks in these areas. Provide concrete truck washout areas i n accordance with the OPDES General Permit. Recover slurry from drill shaft operations and remove it from the project. Do not allow slurry to flow into streambeds.

3.Earthwork Operations Protect excavation or embankment slopes as construction progresses . A maximum length of 1 mi [1.6 km] may be exposed without either placement of temporary (eg. seeding, mulching, soil retention blankets, or other approved soil stability), or permanent (eg. seeding, sprigging, or sodding) erosion control measures. Obtai n approval from the Resident Engineer in the preconstruction schedule for any increase or decrease in the amount of the area exposed by construction operations. In addition to the maximum exposed surface area, no exposed area shall remain unprotected for more than 14 calendar days without being stabilized. Stabilize areas within 50 ft [15 m] of any streams within 48 hr of inactivity of construction operations. Install temporary or permanent erosion or sediment control measures on excavation or embankment slopes as work progresses in vertical increments of not more than 10 ft [3 m] unless otherwise directed by the Resident Engineer. Maintain the top of the subgrade in all roadway sections through all construction stages so as to prevent silt from leaving t he construction limits.
4.Inspection and Maintenance of Measures Inspect and document all measures at least once every 7 calendar days and within 24 hr of ½ in [12.5 mm] or greater rainfall event. Maintain all erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with the specifications at all times during the life of the Contract for all disturbed areas, material storage areas, discharge locations, drainage structures and vehicle entrances/exits for off-site tracking. Repair damaged measures; remove trap ped sediment, and correct measures that are not working within 3 calendar days. Initiate repairs as needed or as directed by the Resident Engineer within 1 calendar day of damage occurring to erosion or sediment control measures that could result in disch arge of sediment into live streams, water impoundments, or other nearby bodies of water. Remove accumulated silt before the control measures reach 50 percent capacity. Document each inspection of erosion and sediment control measures on a SWPPP Inspection and Maintenance Report form approved by the Engineer, or a form proposed by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer. Submit copies of the completed inspection forms signed by qualified personnel to the Resident Engineer within 24 hr of the inspection s. Install a rain gauge at the project site and document rainfall amounts in the inspection schedule or reports. MANAGEMENT OF EROSION, SEDIMENTAT ION, AND STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION 220.06
5.Removal of Control Measures Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control features from the project area when no longer required, unle ss otherwise designated in the Contract or directed by the Resident Engineer. Restore the areas of removal as close as possible in order to meet the previous ground lines, cover, and features. Obtain approval from the Resident Engineer to deposit sediment removed from control features within the right -of-way. If silt is disposed in stabilized areas, re -stabilize the area at no cost as directed by the Resident Engineer.
I.Storm Water Compliance Inspections Perform periodic storm water compliance inspectio ns and document each inspection in accordance with Subsection 220.04.H.4, “Inspection and Maintenance of Measures.” The Resident Engineer shall perform periodic inspections for compliance with OPDES Permit or Gener al Permit requirements and SWPPP documentation and control measures. The ODEQ may inspect for compliance with NOI requirements at any time until the NOT is submitted.

220.05 Method of Measuremen T

SWPPP Documentation and Management will be measured on a lu mp sum basis. Erosion and sediment control applications attributed to the Contractor’s negligence, carelessness, lack of maintenance or are outside the right -of-way for material source or waste sites, haul roads, equipment storage and Contractor offsite fa cilities will not be measured for payment. Non -Compliance Damages: The OPDES program is an integral part of the project, and any failure to maintain the measures in the field or lack of orderly documentation, including but not limited to continuous inspec tion reports and revisions of the SWPPP, may result in non -compliance citations by the ODEQ and/or other local, state and federal agencies. The Department will consider one or more of the following actions for failure to comply:  Withhold a portion of paym ent for the lump sum item for SWPPP Documentation and Management;  Withhold progressive payments for the project;  Stop work on the project;  Suspension of bidding for the Contractor;  Apply non -compliance assessments in accordance with Subsection 220.06 , or  Apply non -compliance assessments in accordance with Subsection 220.06 .  The Resident Engineer will proceed to maintain the project in accordance with Subsection 105.14, "Maintenance During Construction."
