Notes Stormwater Erosion Sediment Water Quality

1. This document outlines erosion control, sediment control, and water quality notes for a construction project. It details requirements for emergency contacts, standby crews, erosion control plans, proper installation and maintenance of devices, stockpiling and containment of soils, and best practices to minimize pollution runoff from the site. 2. Key requirements include having emergency contacts available at all times, submitting erosion control plans for approval, keeping drainage features clear, removing sediment after storms, containing soil stockpiles and construction wastes, and maintaining the site so that stormwater does not carry pollutants off-site. 3. The notes aim to prevent erosion damage, sedimentation, and pollution of nearby waterways through proper

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT


ENGINEERING DIVISION 10/08

EROSION CONTROL, SEDIMENT CONTROL,


AND WATER QUALITY NOTES

EROSION CONTROL, SEDIMENT CONTROL, AND WATER QUALITY NOTES:

1. In case of emergency, call ______________at: (714) __________ during business


hours, and (714) __________ all other times.

2. A stand-by crew for emergency work shall be available at all times. Necessary
materials shall be available on site and stockpiled at convenient locations to
facilitate rapid construction of temporary devices when rain is imminent.
3. The civil engineer or other responsible individual shall submit plans for review by
the City Engineer detailing the placing of erosion control facilities to protect areas
subject to storm damage. All devices must be in place and working at all times.
Failure to provide these devices will be cause to revoke permits or approvals by the
City Engineer and/or Building Official.

4. Devices shall not be moved or modified without the approval of the City Inspector.
5. Except as otherwise approved by the City Inspector, removable protective devices
shown shall be in place at the end of each working day or on weekends when the 5
day rain probability forecast exceeds 40%.

6. The placement of additional devices to reduce erosion damage within the site is left
to the discretion of the field engineer.

7. Desilting basins may not be removed or made inoperable without prior approval of
the City Inspector.

8. Erosion control devices shall be modified as needed as the project progresses, and
plans of these changes submitted for approval as required.

9. Insure that all existing drainage courses and culverts are maintained in working
condition and free of silt & debris.

10. Sediment from areas disturbed by construction shall be retained on site using
structural controls to the Maximum Extent Practicable.

11. All loose soil and debris which may create a potential hazard to offsite property
shall be removed from the site as directed by the Inspector.

12. After a rainstorm, all silt and debris shall be removed from check berms and
desilting basins and basins pumped dry.

13. Stockpiles of soil shall be properly contained to minimize sediment transport from
the site to streets, drainage facilities or adjacent properties via runoff, vehicle
tracking, or wind.
Erosion Control, Sedument Control,
and Water Quality Notes

14. Appropriate BMPs for construction-related materials, wastes, spills or residues shall
be implemented to minimize transport from the site to streets, drainage facilities, or
adjoining property by wind or runoff.
15. Runoff from equipment and vehicle washing shall be contained at construction sites
unless treated to remove sediment and other pollutants.
16. All construction contractor and subcontractor personnel are to be made aware of
the required Best Management Practices and good housekeeping measures for the
project site and any associated construction staging areas.

17. At the end of each day of construction activity all construction debris and waste
materials shall be collected and properly disposed in trash or recycle bins.

18. Fill slopes at the site perimeter must drain away from the top of slope at the
conclusion of each working day.

19. A guard shall be posted on the site whenever the depth of water in any device
exceeds two (2) feet.

20. Construction sites shall be maintained in such a condition that an anticipated storm
does not carry wastes or pollutants off the site. Discharges of material other than
stormwater are allowed only when necessary for performance and completion of
construction practices and where they do not: cause or contribute to a violation of
any water quality standard; cause or threaten to cause pollution, contamination or
nuisance; or contain a hazardous substance in a quantity reportable under federal
regulations 40 cfr parts 117 and 302.
Potential pollutants include but are not limited to: solid or liquid chemical spills;
wastes from paints, stains, sealants, glues, lime, pesticides, herbicides, wood
preservatives and solvents, asbestos fibers, paint flakes or stucco fragments; fuels,
oils, lubricants, and hydraulic, radiator or battery fluids; concrete, detergent or
floatable wastes; wastes from any engine/equipment steam cleaning or chemical
degreasing; and superchlorinated potable water line flushings.
21. During construction, disposal of such materials should occur in a specified and
controlled temporary area on-site physically separated from potential stormwater
runoff, with ultimate disposal in accordance with local, state and federal
requirements.
22. Dewatering of contaminated groundwater, or discharging contaminated soils via
surface erosion is prohibited. Dewatering of non-contaminated groundwater
requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from
the respective state regional water quality control board.
23. Take necessary precautions to insure that adjacent property not suffer damage due
to debris, mud, or inundation caused by grading activities within permitted area.
24. Place erosion protection around all outlets of downdrains that are not fully
connected to the ultimate drainage device.
Erosion Control, Sedument Control,
and Water Quality Notes

25. Place erosion protection around all ultimate inlets while the possibility of siltation
exists prior to ultimate slope planting becoming effective.

26. Restore all vegetation and planting on the existing slope to original condition.
