3. All construction activity by the Primary Operator is completed, final stabilization has been achieved on all areas under the control of the Primary Operator, and the remaining undeveloped lots have been sold to other new operator(s) and NCOs (see Part 2.2.3 of this permit) for the new operator(s) have been prepared and signed, or to operators that have obtained separate permit coverage.

B. Responsibilities of Secondary Operators Secondary Operators must be thoroughly familiar with and adhere to provisions of the permit, the NOI, the SWP3 and all BMPs and control measures which apply to their areas of activity. Secondary Operators must notify the Primary Operator prior to beginning any earth-disturbing activity and execute any written notification required by the Primary Operator. Secondary Operators must avoid damaging or interfering with the effectiveness of any control measure on the construction site or notify the Primary Operator if such occurs.

3.6.4 Responsibilities of the Operator of Utility Installation If you have operational control over utility installation (e.g., telephone, electric, gas, cable TV, etc.), your activities must be covered under an SWP3, either a "joint SWP3" for the larger common plan of development or sale, or your own SWP3. You are responsible for maintenance of the SWP3 on the areas disturbed by your activities. You must ensure the protection of endangered species, implementation of BMPs, and final stabilization requirements. This applies to utility companies and their subcontractors. If you are a contractor and do not meet the definition of "Operator" (see Part 8.23 of this permit), you are not required to submit an NOI for the Permit coverage. You may be covered as specified under Part 3.6.3, by a "contractor certification" or similar arrangement (see Addendum D of this permit).

Part 4 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3) 4.1 General Requirements 4.1.1 An SWP3 must be prepared according to the requirements in Part 4 prior to submission of an NOi. The SWP3 must be kept up-to-date throughout coverage under this permit.

If a SWP3 was prepared under the 2012 permit, operator must review and update the SWP3 to ensure that requirements of this permit are addressed prior to submitting an NOI for coverage under this permit.

4.1.2 SWP3s shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. Use of a licensed professional engineer (PE) for SWP3 preparation is not required by the permit. However, if any part of the SWP3 involves the practice of engineering4, then those engineering practices and designs are required to be prepared by a licensed professional engineer. The SWP3 shall identify potential sources of pollution that may reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges from the construction site. The SWP3 shall describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with construction activity at the construction site and assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.

4.1.3 When developing SWP3s, applicants must follow the procedures in Part 10 of this permit to determine whether listed endangered or threatened species or critical habitat would be affected by the applicant's stormwater discharges or stormwater discharge-related activities. Any information on whether listed species or critical habitats are found in proximity to the construction site must be included in the SWP3. Any terms 4

Statutes and Rules of Oklahoma State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors, Section 472.2 "Definitions" states "practice of engineering means any service or creative work, the adequate performance of which requires engineering education, training and experience in the application of special knowledge of the mathematical, physical and engineering sciences to such services or creative work as consultation, investigation, evaluation, planning and design of engineering works and systems, planning the engineering use of land and water, teaching of advanced engineering subjects or courses related thereto, engineering research, engineering surveys, engineering studies, and the inspection or review of construction for the purposes of assuring compliance with drawings and specifications; any of which embraces such services or work, either public or private, in connection with any utilities, structures, buildings, machines, equipment, processes, work systems, projects, and industrial or consumer products or equipment of a mechanical, electrical, chemical, environmental, hydraulic, pneumatic or thermal nature, insofar as they involve safeguarding life, health or property, and including such other professional services as may be necessary to the design review and integration of a multidiscipline work, planning, progress and completion of any engineering services ."

OKRI O Page 21 or conditions that are imposed under the eligibility requirements of Parts 1.2.2.E, 3.5.2 and 10 of this permit to protect listed species or critical habitat from stormwater discharges or stormwater discharge-related activity must be incorporated into the SWP3. Permittees must implement the applicable provisions of the SWP3 required under this part as a condition of this permit.

4.1.4 If your construction site discharges into a receiving water (within 1 mile) which has been listed on the Clean Water Act 303(d) list of impaired waters, and your discharges contain the pollutant(s) for which the waterbody is impaired, you must document in your SWP3 how the BMPs and other controls selected for your site will control the discharge of the pollutant(s) of concern. If Part 3.5.1 applies to your discharge, you must include in your SWP3 the additional requirements specified in that part.

The 303(d) list of Impaired Waters in Oklahoma can be found in Appendix C of the Integrated Report on the DEQ's webpage at http://www.deq.state.ok.us/W0Dnew/305b 303d/index.html, or the DEQ GIS Map and Data Viewer at http://deq.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html 4.1.5 If a TMDL or watershed plan or local compliance plan has been approved for the waterbody, you must also describe how your SWP3 is consistent with any TMDL or watershed plan or local compliance plan applicable to your discharge. Permittees must incorporate any limitations, conditions, or requirements applicable to their discharges into the SWP3 to ensure that the waste load allocations (WLAs) or load allocations (LAs) and/or the TMDL's associated implementation plan will be met within any timeframe established in the TMDL report or watershed plan. Monitoring and reporting of the discharges may also be required as appropriate to ensure compliance with the TMDL or watershed plan.

Approved TMDL reports or watershed plans can be downloaded from DEQ's website at http://www.deg .state.ok. us/wqdnew /tmdl/index.html 4.1.6 If the industrial activities associated with a concrete or asphalt batch plant are directly related to your construction site and are covered under this permit, you must develop the SWP3 for such industrial activities according to Addendum F of this permit.

4.2 Signature, Posting a Notice, Making Plans Available, and DEQ's Notification 4.2.1 The SWP3 shall be signed in accordance with Part 6.7, and be retained on-site in accordance with Part 5 of this permit.

4.2.2 The Permittee shall post a notice near the mam entrance of the construction site with the following information:

A. The OPDES permit number for the project or a copy of the NOi if a permit number has not yet been assigned; B. The name and telephone number of a local contact person; C. A brief description of the project; and D. The location of the SWP3 if the site is inactive or does not have an on-site location to store the plan.

If posting this information near a main entrance is infeasible due to safety concerns, the notice shall be posted in a local public building. If the construction project is a linear construction project (e.g., pipeline, highway, etc.), the notice must be placed in a publicly accessible location near where construction is actively underway and moved as necessary. This permit does not provide the public with any right to trespass on a construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site; nor does this permit require that permittees allow members of the public access to a construction site.

4.2.3 The permittee shall make SWP3s available upon request to: DEQ and/or any State, Federal, or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans, grading plans or stormwater management plans; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation; local government officials; or the operator of a municipal separate storm sewer receiving discharges from the site. The copy of the SWP3 that is required to be kept on-site or locally available must be made available to DEQ for review at the time of an on-site inspection. Also, in the interest of public involvement, DEQ encourages permittees to make their SWP3s available to the public for viewing during normal business hours.

OKRl0 Page 22 4.2.4 DEQ may notify the permittee at any time that the SWP3 does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this Part. Such notification shall identify those provisions of this permit that are not being met by the SWP3 as well as those requiring modification in order to meet the minimum requirements of this Part. Within 7 calendar days of receipt of such notification from DEQ (or as otherwise provided by DEQ),

the permittee shall make the required changes to the SWP3 and shall submit to DEQ a written certification that the requested changes have been made. DEQ may take appropriate enforcement action for the period of time the permittee was operating under a plan that did not meet the minimum requirements of this permit.

4.3 Contents of SWP3 The SWP3 must include the following information, at a minimum:

OKRI0 Page 24 4.3.10 Water Quality Impaired Water and TMDL Requirements Include information on whether stormwater discharges or stormwater discharge-related activities would have an effect on water quality impaired receiving waters. The permittee must describe how the BMPs and other controls selected for the site will reduce and avoid the discharges of pollutants of concern into any 303( d) impaired waters, including requirements of Parts 4.1.4 and 3 .5 .1 of this permit. The permittee must describe and implement any measures necessary to meet the requirements of an approved TMDL or watershed plan and/or associated implementation schedule established in the TMDL or watershed plan. Monitoring and reporting of discharge quality may also be required if necessary to ensure compliance with an approved TMDL or watershed plan (see Part 4. 1.5 of this permit).

4.3.11 Stormwater Controls Description Include a description of all control measures (i.e., structural and non-structural BMPs) required in Parts 3.3, 3 .4 (if applicable) and 3 .5 of this permit. The description and implementation of control measures must include the following:

A. Erosion and Sediment Controls

1. Utilize EPA's national BMP menu and/or other references to select appropriate control measures, and provide the descriptions of the selected control measures for your site. The selected control measures must meet the following requirements, as well as being in compliance with state and local regulations for your site, including:
a. The construction-phase erosion and sediment controls should be designed to retain sediment on site to the extent practicable;
b. All control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and good engineering practices. If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used inappropriately or incorrectly, the Permittee must replace or modify the control for site situations;
c. If sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment must be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impact (e.g., fugitive sediment in streets could be washed into storm sewers by the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets);
d. Sediment must be removed from sediment traps or sedimentation ponds when design capacity has been reduced by 50%;
e. Litter, construction debris, and construction chemicals (e.g., fuel, hydraulic fluids, etc.) exposed to storm water shall be prevented from becoming a pollutant source for stormwater discharges (e.g., by screening outfalls or picking up daily);
f. Off-site construction storage areas (also including overburden and stockpiles of dirt, borrow areas, etc.) used solely by the permitted project are considered a part of the project and shall be addressed in the SWP3; and
g. Many applications of straw and hay bales for erosion and sediment control are proving ineffective, maintenance-intensive and expensive. Therefore, straw or hay bales as BMP controls within the State are not allowed. Alternatives to straw or hay bales can be silt fence, rock check dams, fiber rolls, geotextiles, compost blankets, filter fabric, gravel bags and other designs.
2. Include natural buffers and/or equivalent sediment controls required in Part 3.3.1.B of this permit.
3. Describe the specific vegetative and/or non-vegetative stabilization practices that will be used to achieve temporary and final stabilization on the exposed portions of your site as required in Part 3.3.2 of this permit.
4. Include a description of structural practices to divert flows from exposed soils, retain flows, or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site to the degree attainable.

Structural practices may include but are not limited to: silt fences, earth dikes, drainage swales, sediment traps, check dams, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, level spreaders, storm drain inlet protection, rock outlet protection, reinforced soil retaining systems, gabions, and temporary or permanent sediment

OKRl0 Page 25 basins (also see Part 3.3.1.L of this permit). Placement of structural practices in floodplains should be avoided to the degree attainable. The installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 of the CWA. If you install a sediment basin or similar impoundment, you must meet the following requirements:

a. For common drainage locations that serve an area with 10 or more acres disturbed at one time (or 5 acres if required by Part 3.5.2), a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin(s) that provides overall storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, shall be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site. Where no such calculation has been performed, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin(s) providing 3,600 cubic feet of overall storage per acre drained, or equivalent control measures, shall be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site. When computing the number of acres draining into a common location, it is not necessary to include flows from off-site areas and flows from onsite areas that are either undisturbed or have undergone final stabilization where such flows are diverted around both the disturbed area and the sediment basin.

In determining whether installing sediment basin(s) is attainable, the Permittee may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available area on site, etc. In any event, the Permittee must consider public safety, especially as it relates to children, as a design factor for the sediment basin(s) and alternative sediment controls shall be used where site limitations would preclude a safe design. For drainage locations that serve 10 or more disturbed acres at one time and where a temporary sediment basin or equivalent controls is not attainable, smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps should be used.

Where neither the sediment basin nor equivalent controls are attainable due to site limitations, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries of the construction area and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions. DEQ encourages the use of a combination of sediment and erosion control measures in order to achieve maximum pollutant removal.

b. For drainage locations serving less than 10 acres, smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps should be used. At a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down-slope boundaries (and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of the construction area unless sediment basin( s) providing overall storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm or 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained is provided. D EQ encourages the use of a combination of sediment and erosion control measures in order to achieve maximum pollutant removal.
c. Velocity dissipation devices shall be placed at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel to provide a non-erosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and protected (e.g. no significant changes in the hydrological regime of the receiving water).

B. Pollution Prevention I. Describe procedures that you will follow to prevent and respond to spills and leaks (also see Parts 3.2.2 and 3.3.3.C of this permit), including:

a. Procedures for expeditiously stopping, containing, and cleaning up spills, leaks, and other releases.

Identify the name or position of the employee(s) responsible for the detection and response to spills orleaks;and

b. Procedures for notification of appropriate facility personnel, emergency response agencies, and regulatory agencies where a leak, spill, or other release containing a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable quantity consistent with Part 3.2 and established under either 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, or 302, occurs during a 24-hour period. Contact information must be in locations that are readily accessible and available.

You may also reference the existence of Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans developed for the construction activity under Part 311 of the CWA, or spill control programs otherwise required by an OPDES permit for the construction activity, provided that you keep a copy of that other plan on site.

OKRI0 Page 26

2. Describe waste management procedures for how you will handle and dispose of all wastes generated at your site, including, but are not limited to, clearing and demolition debris, sediment removed from the site, construction and domestic waste, hazardous or toxic waste, and sanitary waste.
3. For application of fertilizers, document any departures from the manufacturer specifications where appropriate (also see Part 3.3.3.D of this permit).

C. Monitoring (if applicable)

If the discharges from the facilities are subject to the numeric limitations in Part 3.4.1 and Addendum F of this permit, the SWP3 must document the procedures you will follow for taking samples or observation consistent with Addendum F, including:

1. Locations where samples will be collected. For linear projects, document which locations are considered substantially identical and why they are substantially identical;
2. Personnel responsible for taking and handling samples, analyzing samples, and recording the results;
3. The normal working hours associated with the project (see Addendum F of this permit);
4. Equipment to be used for taking samples and for analysis;
5. Procedures to be followed for ensuring that samples are taken (see Addendum F of this permit); and
6. Procedures for notifying and activating your sampling team when a discharge is occurring or is expected to occur.

D. Approved Local Plans Permittees which discharge stormwater associated with construction activities must ensure their SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified in applicable sediment and erosion site plans of site permits, or stormwater management site plans, or site permits approved by local officials. The SWP3 must be updated as necessary to remain consistent with any changes applicable to protecting surface water resources in sediment erosion site plans or site permits, or stormwater management site plans or site permits approved by local officials for whom the Permittee receives written notice.

4 .3. 12 Maintenance All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective operating condition. If site inspections required by Part 4.2.13 identify BMPs that are not operating effectively, maintenance shall be performed before the next anticipated storm event, or as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of stormwater controls. If existing BMPs need to be modified or if additional BMPs are necessary for any reason, implementation must be completed before the next storm event whenever practicable. If maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, the situation must be documented in the SWP3 and maintenance must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as possible. Any maintenance checklists or other forms that will be used must be included in the SWP3.

4.3 .13 Inspections A. Person(s) Responsible for Inspecting Site The person(s) inspecting your site may be a person on your staff or a third party you hire to conduct such inspections. You are responsible for ensuring that the person who conducts inspections is a "qualified person." A "qualified person" is a person knowledgeable in the principles and practice of erosion and sediment controls and pollution prevention, who possesses the skills to assess conditions at the construction site that could impact stormwater quality, and the skills to assess the effectiveness of any stormwater controls selected and installed to meet the requirements of this permit. An inspection form shall be developed and included in your SWP3.

B. Frequency of Inspections At a minimum, you must conduct a site inspection once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater and within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a discharge generated by snowmelt,

OKRIO Page 27 unless you are subject to Parts 3.5.1.B or 3.5.2.C. If a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater, or snowmelt, causes your site to discharge, within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the end of the storm event or the beginning of the snowmelt discharge you must conduct a site inspection when the discharge is occurring and comply with the requirements of Part 4.3.13.D.

C. Reductions in Inspection Frequency.

You may reduce the frequency of inspections to once per month in areas of your site where you have initiated vegetative stabilization that meets the criteria in Part 3.3.2.A, once you have completed the initial seeding or planting, and provided protection with non-vegetative cover pursuant to Part 3 .3 .2.B.2, or you have installed temporary, non-vegetative stabilization that meet the criteria in Part 3.3.2.B.2. If construction activity resumes at a later date, the inspection frequency shall immediately increase to that is required in Part 4.3.13.B.

  • "Final stabilization" refers to the stabilization of exposed portions of the site using practices that provide permanent cover and qualify the permittee for permit termination.

30.1. All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and either of the two following criteria is met:

5 A. A uniform (e.g., evenly distributed, without large bare areas ) perennial vegetative cover with a 70% or more of the cover that is provided by vegetation native to local undisturbed areas; and/or B.

A. The homebuilder has completed final stabilization as specified above; or B. The homebuilder has established temporary stabilization for an individual lot prior to occupation of the home by the homeowner and informed the homeowner of the need for, and benefits of, final stabilization. (Homeowners typically have an incentive to put in the landscaping functionally equivalent to final stabilization as quickly as possible to keep mud out of their homes and off sidewalks and driveways.); or 30.3. For construction projects on land used for agricultural purposes (e.g., pipelines across crop or range land),

final stabilization may be accomplished by returning the disturbed land to its pre-construction agricultural use. Areas disturbed that were not previously used for agricultural activities, such as buffer strips immediately adjacent to "waters of the State," and areas that are not being returned to their pre-construction agricultural use must meet the final stabilization criteria 30.1 or 2 above.

32. Stormwater means rainwater runoff, snowmelt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage.

Most relevant to this permit is 40 CFR 122.26 (b) (14) (x) and 40 CFR 122.26 (b) (15) (i), that relates to construction activity including clearing, grading, and excavation activities that result in the disturbance of one or more acres of total land area, or less than one acre if part of a larger common plan of development or sale.
34. Stormwater Discharge-Related Activity is defined as disturbance activities that cause, contribute to, or result in point source stormwater pollutant discharges, including but are not limited to excavation, site development, grading, and other land disturbing activities; and control measures to control stormwater discharges including the siting, construction, and operation of best management practices (BMPs) to control, reduce, or prevent storm water pollution.
35. Takes or Taking means any action that would "harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect" any threatened or endangered species. Harm may include significant habitat modification that actually injures a species.
36. Total Maximum Daily Load or TMDL means the sum of the individual waste load allocations (WLAs) for point sources, safety, reserves, and loads from nonpoint sources and natural background.
37. Waters of the State means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses, waterways, wells, springs, irrigation systems, drainage systems, storm sewers and all other bodies or accumulations of water, surface and underground, natural or artificial, public or private, which are contained within, flow through, or border upon this state or any portion thereof, and shall include under all circumstances the waters of the United States which are contained within the boundaries of, flow through, or border upon this state or any portion thereof.

Part 9 Historic Preservation The EPA has determined that DEQ's NPDES permitting activities are not Federal undertakings and, therefore, are not subject to review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. However, applicants and permittees must comply with the State Antiquities Act (Title 53, Chapter 20, Section 361) where applicable and the Burial Desecration Law (Title 21, Chapter 47, Section 1168.0-1168.6), as well as with any applicable local laws concerning the identification and protection of historic properties.

Applicants and permittees who may receive Federal funding or other Federal assistance in the completion of their projects must be aware that compliance with Section 106 of the Act may apply. For information about the Section 106 review process in Oklahoma, Oklahoma properties listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and related topics, contact:

OKRl0 Page 40 Part 10 Endangered Species Addendum A is a Registry of Federally Identified Aquatic Resources of Concern (ARC) and State Identified ARC.

10.1 Background DEQ is seeking to ensure the activities regulated by the Permit are protective of endangered and threatened species and critical habitat. To ensure that those goals are met, operators seeking permit coverage are required under Part 1.2.2.E to assess the impacts of their stormwater discharges and stormwater discharge-related activities on identified endangered and threatened species and designated critical habitat. This may be accomplished by following Steps I and 2 listed below in Part I 0.2. It is not necessary to contact DEQ if you can comply with the provisions listed in Step 2. DEQ strongly recommends that applicants follow these steps at the earliest possible stage to ensure that measures to protect identified species are incorporated early in the planning process. At minimum, the procedures should be followed when developing the S WP3.

Permittees and contractors have an independent obligation to ensure that their activities do not result in any prohibited "take" of identified species. Many of the measures required in the Permit and in these instructions to protect identified species may also assist operators in ensuring that their construction or land disturbing activities do not result in a prohibited take of a species. Operators who plan construction or land disturbing activities within the corridor of a Federally identified ARC or a State identified ARC, (see Addendum A), may meet the requirements of Step 2.

This permit provides for the possibility of multiple operators and contractors at a construction site. Applicants should be aware that in some cases they may meet the permit eligibility requirements by relying on another permittee's certification of eligibility under Part 1.2.2.E.2.a, b, c, or d. This is allowed under Part 1.2.2.E.2.e of the permit, however, the other permittee's certification must apply to the contractor's project area and must address the effects from the Contractor's stormwater discharges and stormwater discharge-related activities on listed species and critical habitat. By certifying eligibility under Part 1.2.2.E.2.e, the applicant agrees to comply with any measures or controls upon which the other operator's certification under Part 1.2.2.E.2.a., b., c., or d. was based. This situation will typically occur where a developer or primary contractor, such as one for construction of a subdivision or industrial park, conducts a comprehensive assessment of effects on listed species for the entire construction project, certifies eligibility under Part 1.2.2.E.2.a, b, c, or d and that certification is relied upon by other operators (i.e.,

contractors) at the site. However, applicants that consider relying on another operator's certification should carefully review that certification along with any supporting information. If an applicant does not believe that the operator's certification provides adequate coverage for the applicant's stormwater discharges and stormwater discharge-related activities or for the applicant's particular project area, the applicant should provide its own independent certification under Part 1.2.2.E.2.a, b, c, or d.

10.2 Procedures To receive coverage under the CGP, applicants must assess the potential effects of their stormwater discharges and stormwater discharge-related activities on listed species. To make this assessment, applicants must follow the steps outlined below prior to completing and submitting a NOi form (see Addendum B of this permit).

Step 1: Determine Whether the Project Area Drains to ARC A. Refer to Addendum A of this permit, that lists all of the waters of Oklahoma which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation consider to be sensitive because they harbor populations of federal or state listed species or their designated critical habitat.

B. If the applicant's proposed construction site is not located within any of these areas, the proposed construction stormwater discharge or stormwater discharge related activities are not likely to significantly affect endangered and threatened species. The applicant may then skip Step 2 and further investigation is unnecessary.

C. If the applicant's proposed construction site is located within the corridor of any ARC, the applicant must continue on to Step 2.

OKRIO Page 41 Step 2: Implementation of Stormwater Control Measures to Protect Endangered and Threatened Species in ARC:

A. Applicants whose proposed construction site is located within an ARC must incorporate the following measures into the SWP3 for this site unless permit coverage is allowed under Parts 1.2.2.E.2.d ore. Other pollutants such as, but are not limited to, oil, grease, solid waste (i.e. building material scrap, and trash), and human and hazardous waste, (e.g., paint and solvents), are not authorized for discharge under this permit. These potential pollutants must be properly managed and their contact with stormwater minimized or eliminated to the greatest extent practicable.

I. Consistent with Parts 3.3 and 3.5 of this permit, sediment, solid waste and human waste must be retained on site to the greatest extent practicable; all control measures must be properly installed and maintained at all times; and off-site accumulations of any escaped sediment must be removed.

2. A vegetated buffer zone of at least l 00 feet must be retained or successfully established or planted between the area disturbed during construction and all perennial or intermittent streams on or adjacent to the construction site. A vegetated buffer zone at least 50 feet wide must be retained or successfully established or planted between the areas disturbed during construction and all ephemeral streams or drainages. Buffer zones shall be measured from the top of the first defined bank of the stream and shown on the site map in the SWP3.

If characteristics of the site or the project make it impossible to maintain the required buffer, refer to Addendum H (Buffer Requirements) for information to assist you in developing equivalent sediment controls. You must maintain the buffer or selected alternative throughout your period of coverage under this permit and no construction activities may be conducted in this area. All discharges through the buffer must be non-channelized or non-concentrated, and must first be treated by the site's sediment and erosion controls.

4. Document in your SWP3 the following:
a. If the buffer is less than 100 or 50 feet, the width of the buffer vegetation to be retained; and
b. Information you relied on to comply with the requirement to achieve the equivalent sediment load reduction as an undisturbed naturally vegetated l 00 or 50-foot buffer.
4. For any disturbances within the required l 00 or 50-foot buffer area, you must comply with the following stabilization requirements, which replace the corresponding requirements in Part 3.3.2:
a. You must immediately initiate stabilization in any disturbed areas of the buffer where earth-disturbing activities have permanently or temporarily ceased on any portion of the site, and will not resume for a period exceeding 7 calendar days. For the purposes of this permit, earth-disturbing activities have temporarily ceased when all construction activities within any area of your construction site will not resume for a period of 14 or more days, and earth-disturbing activities have permanently ceased when clearing and excavation within any area of your construction site has been completed, and final grade has been reached.
b. Within 7 calendar days of initiating stabilization, you are required to have completed:
1. For vegetative cover, all soil conditioning, seeding, watering, mulching, and any other required activities related to the planting and establishment of vegetation; and/or
11. For non-vegetative cover, the installation or application of all non-vegetative measures.
5. You are not required to comply with this buffer requirement for the following types of construction projects, provided that you limit the area of disturbance to the minimum needed to complete the construction and to access the site, and that you retain the natural vegetation in the buffer outside this area:
a. Construction of water crossings authorized under a CW A Section 404 permit (where required) for water lines, sewer lines, utility lines, and roadways;
b. Construction of water-dependent structures and water access areas (piers, boat ramps, etc.) approved under a CW A Section 404 permit (where required); or

OKRlO Page 42

c. Development of a site where no naturally vegetated buffer area exists due to prior disturbances.
6. You must conduct inspections within 7 calendar days and within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater instead of the inspection frequency specified in Part 4.3.13 .B.
7. You must meet any local requirements affecting construction in the buffer.

B. Consistent with Parts 3.3.2 and 3.5.2.D, an implementation schedule must be included which describes the stabilization practices that will be used to control erosion during construction and when construction has permanently ceased. The preservation of mature vegetation on-site is preferred.

C. Consistent with Parts 3.3. l and 4.3.11, structural BMPs must be successfully implemented to divert uphill stormwater flows from crossing disturbed areas, to store flows (e.g., retention ponds) or to otherwise control runoff from disturbed areas during construction. At a minimum this must include silt fencing and vegetated buffer strips on all down slope boundaries of the area disturbed during construction. The construction of temporary or permanent stormwater detention or retention structures ( e.g., ponds) is preferred, but these must not be constructed within intermittent or perennial stream channels or within floodplains.

D. Consistent with Part 3 .3 .1.K and 4.5 .11.A.4.c, velocity dissipation devices must be incorporated into the design of outfall channels and discharge locations. Outfalls must be screened to prevent the discharge of solid materials with stormwater runoff.

E. Hazardous construction materials and waste must be stored in a manner that minimizes their contact with stormwater. An emergency response must be included which addresses the handling of accidental spills (see Part 3.3.3 of this permit).

F. The applicant must comply with any terms and conditions imposed under the eligibility requirements of Part 1.2.2.E.2 a, b, c, d, ore to ensure that its stormwater discharges and stormwater discharge-related activities are protective of listed species and/or critical habitat. Such terms and conditions must be incorporated in the project's SWP3. If the eligibility requirements of Part 1.2.2.E.2 a, b, c, d, or e cannot be met, the applicant may seek relief from the appropriate service in the form of an approved take. As an alternative, the applicant may seek coverage under a DEQ individual permit.

ADDENDUM F -ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONCRETE AND ASPHALT BATCH PLANTS F.1 Site Description Describe the nature of industrial activities at your facility and include a site map. The site map shall specify boundaries of the facility, significant structures and impervious area, the locations of all stormwater monitoring points, if any.

F.2. Summary of Potential Pollutant Sources Document the area at your facility where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater.

Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to, material handling equipment or activities, industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste products.

Material handling activities include the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. (also see Part 4.3.6).

F.3. Sampling Data Provide a summary of any ex1stmg stormwater discharge sampling data taken at your facility. All stormwater sampling data collected during the term of this permit must also be summarized and included in this part of the SWP3. The SWP3 shall document the procedures for conducting the types of analytical monitoring specified by this permit.

F.4. Stormwater Controls Describe the type and location of existing non-structural and structural BMPs selected for each of the areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater. For areas where BMPs are not currently in place, describe appropriate BMPs that you will use to control pollutants in stormwater discharges.

Selection of BMPs should take into consideration:

A. Non-Structural BMPs

1. Good Housekeeping: You must keep all exposed areas of the facility in a clean, orderly manner where such exposed areas could contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges. Common problem areas include: around trash containers, storage areas and loading docks. Measures must also include: a schedule for regular pickup and disposal of garbage and waste materials, routine inspections for leaks and conditions of drums, tanks and containers.
2. Minimizing Exposure: You must minimize the exposure of manufacturing, processing, and material storage areas (including loading and unloading, storage, disposal, cleaning, maintenance, and fueling operations) to rain, snow, snowmelt, and runoff by either locating these industrial materials and activities inside or protecting them with storm resistant coverings (although significant enlargement of impervious surface area is not recommended).
3. Preventive Maintenance: You must have a preventive maintenance program which includes timely inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices, ( e.g., cleaning oil/water separators, catch basins) as well as inspecting, testing, maintaining and repairing facility equipment, and systems to avoid breakdowns or failures that may result in discharges of pollutants to surface waters.
4. Routine Facility Inspections (also see Part 4.3.13 of this permit): In addition to, or as part of the Comprehensive Site Evaluation Report required, you must have qualified facility personnel inspect all areas of the facility where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater. You shall develop the routine facility inspection procedures and document the evaluation of existing stormwater BMPs. You must correct any deficiencies in implementation of your SWP3 you find as soon as practicable, but not later than within 14 days of the inspection. You must document in your SWP3 the results of your inspections and the corrective actions you took in response to any

deficiencies or opportunities for improvement that you identify. You must develop and include an inspection form in your SWP3.

5. Corrective Action If any of the following conditions occur, you must review and revise the selection, design, installation, and implementation of your control measures to ensure that the condition is eliminated and will not be repeated in the future:
a. An unauthorized release or discharge (e.g., spill, leak, or discharge of non-stormwater not authorized by this or another OPDES permit) occurs at your facility;
b. A discharge violates a numeric effluent limit;
c. You become aware, or DEQ determines, that your control measures are not stringent enough for the discharge to meet applicable water quality standards;
d. An inspection or evaluation of your facility by a DEQ official, or local MS4, determines that modifications to the control measures are necessary to meet the non-numeric effluent limits in this permit; or
e. You find in your routine facility inspection, quarterly visual inspection, or comprehensive site inspection that your control measures are not being properly operated and maintained.

Within 14 days of such discovery, you must document any corrective action(s) to be taken to eliminate or further investigate the deficiency, or if no corrective action is needed, the basis for that determination. If you determine that changes are necessary following your review, any modifications to your control measures must be made before the next storm event if possible, or as soon as practicable following that storm event. These time intervals are not grace periods, but are schedules considered reasonable for documenting your findings and for making repairs and improvements. They are included in this permit to ensure that the conditions prompting the need for these repairs and improvements are not allowed to persist indefinitely.

6. Final Stabilization You must ensure in compliance with final stabilization requirements specified in Part 3 .3 .2 of the permit. All industrial activities at the mobile concrete batch plant or/and portable asphalt plant 6

have been completed and a uniform (e.g., evenly distributed, without large bare areas ) perennial vegetative cover with a 70% or more of the cover that was provided by vegetation to all undisturbed areas or equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as the use of riprap and gravel) have been employed.

7. Employee Training: You must describe a stormwater employee training program for the facility, including spill response, good housekeeping and material management practices, and must identify periodic dates (e.g., every 6 months during the months of July and January) for such training.
8. Spill Prevention You must identify and document where potential spills and leaks could occur that contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges and corresponding outfall(s) that can be affected by such spills and leaks. Also you must describe the procedures that will be followed for cleaning up spills or leaks.

B. Structural BMPs You must comply with Part 3.3.1 for sediment and erosion control. Also you could use the following BMPs, which include but are not limited to: stormwater detention structures (including wet ponds);

stormwater retention structures; flow attenuation by use of open vegetated swales and natural 6 2 Large bare area is defined as an area with 10 ft or more with no perennial vegetative cover established

depressions; infiltration of runoff onsite; and sequential systems (which combine several practices).

You must maintain all BMPs in effective operating condition. If site inspections indicate BMPs are not operating effectively, maintenance must be performed before the next anticipated storm event, or as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of stormwater controls.

F.5 Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation The concrete or asphalt batch plants covered under this permit must conduct an Annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation and file a report (see Addendum G ACSCER). At a minimum, your documentation of the comprehensive site evaluation must include the scope of the inspections, the name(s) of personnel making the inspections, the date(s) of the inspections, and major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3. Major observations should include, the location(s) of discharges of pollutants from the site, BMPs that need to be maintained;, BMPs that failed to operate as designed or that proved inadequate for a particular location, additional BMPs that are needed to address any conditions requiring corrective action identified during the inspection, previously unidentified discharges from the site, previously unidentified pollutants in existing discharges, evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system, evidence of pollutants discharging to receiving waters at all facility outfall(s), and the condition of and around the outfall, including flow dissipation measures to prevent scouring; and any required revisions to the SWP3 resulting from the inspection.

A. Frequency of the Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation You must conduct a comprehensive site compliance evaluation at least once a year. The inspections must be conducted by qualified personnel with at least one member of your stormwater pollution prevention team participating in the comprehensive site inspections. The qualified personnel you use may be either your own employees or outside consultants that you have hired, provided they are knowledgeable and possess the skills to assess conditions at your facility that could impact stormwater quality. They must also have the skills to assess the effectiveness of the BMPs you have chosen to use to control the quality of your stormwater discharges. If you decide to conduct more frequent inspections, your SWP3 must specify the frequency of inspections.

B. Scope of the Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation Your inspections must include all areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to storm water, as identified in Parts r .1 and areas where spills and leaks have occurred within the past three (3) years.

F.6 Maintaining Updated SWP3 A. Change in Your Physical Operation You must amend the SWP3 whenever there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance at your facility which has a significant effect on the discharge, or potential for discharge, of pollutants from your facility; B. Maintaining Your SWP3 You must amend the SWP3 whenever during inspections or investigations by you or by local, State, or Federal officials it is determined the SWP3 is ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants from sources identified under the SWP3 or is otherwise not achieving the general objectives of controlling pollutants in discharges from your facility.

F.7 Monitoring Requirements All facilities will be subject to quarterly visual monitoring. Also the Numeric Effluent Limitation Monitoring (NELM) is required once per year if your asphalt batch plants are covered under this permit.

Also these specific monitoring requirements and limitations are applied to the discharge at facilities with co-located activities. Where stormwater from the co-located activities is co-mingled, the monitoring requirements and limitations are additive.

A. Quarterly Visual Monitoring

The requirements and procedures for quarterly visual monitoring are applicable to all concrete and asphalt batch plants covered under this permit, regardless of your industrial activities.

1. You must perform and document a quarterly visual examination of a stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity from each outfall, except discharges exempted below. If no storm event resulted in runoff from the facility during a monitoring quarter, you are excused from visual monitoring for that quarter provided you document in your monitoring records that no runoff occurred. You must sign and certify the documentation in accordance with Part 6. 7 of the permit.
2. Your visual examination must be made during daylight hours (e.g., normal working hours). The visual examinations must be made of samples collected within the first 30 minutes of when the runoff or snowmelt begins discharging from your facility. The examination must document observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution. The examination must be conducted in a well-lighted area. No analytical tests are required to be performed on the samples. All such samples must be collected from the discharge resulting from a storm event that is greater than 0.1 inches in magnitude and that occurs at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> from the previously measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event. Where practicable, the same individual should carry out the collection and examination of discharges for the entire permit term.

The following Table is an example of what you should look for in a visual monitoring sample.

indicators of lead a reasonable person to believe stormwater pollution that the stormwater was polluted.

3. You must maintain your visual examination reports onsite with the SWP3. At a minimum, the report must include the examination date and time, locations, personnel, the nature of the discharge

(i.e., runoff or snow melt), results of observations of the stormwater discharge (including observations of color, odor, clarity, floating solids, settled solids, suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of stormwater pollution), and probable sources of any observed stormwater contamination. If applicable, the report shall include why it was not possible to take samples within the first 30 minutes and signed in accordance with Part 6.7.

B. Numeric Effluent Limitation Monitoring (NELM)

1. If your facility has discharges of stormwater from an asphalt batch plant, you must comply with the limitations and monitoring requirements of Part 3.4. l(also see Table 3.1) for all discharges containing asphalt batch plant runoff, regardless of your industrial activities.
2. Monitoring Periods. If the project takes less than one year to complete, you shall collect at least one sample. otherwise, you must start to collect your grab samples and analyze the samples annually within the following time periods:

The yearly monitoring periods are from January 1st to December 31st.

3. Collection and Analysis of Samples You must assess your sampling requirements on an outfall by outfall basis.
a. When and How to Sample. All required monitoring must be performed on a storm event that results in an actual discharge from your site (at least 0.1 inch of stormwater event defined as a "measurable storm event") that follows the preceding measurable storm event by at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> (3 days). The 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> (3 days) storm interval does not apply if you are able to document that less than a 72-hour (3 days) interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period. In the case of snowmelt, the monitoring must be performed at a time when a measurable discharge occurs at your facility.
b. Take a minimum of one grab sample within the first 30 minutes of the discharge resulting from a measurable storm event. If it is not practicable to take the sample during the first 30 minutes, the sample must be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes.

You must document in your SWP3 why it was not possible to take samples within 30 minutes. If the sampled discharge commingles with process or non-process water, attempt to sample the stormwater discharge before it mixes with the non-stormwater. In the case of snowmelt, samples must be taken during a period with a measurable discharge.

4. Storm Event Data For each monitoring event, except snowmelt monitoring, you must provide the date and duration (in hours) of the storm event(s); rainfall measurements or estimates (in inches) of the storm event; time (in days) since the previous measurable (greater than 0.1 inch rainfall) storm event; and an estimate of the total volume (in gallons) of the discharge sample. For snowmelt monitoring, you must identify the date of the sampling event.
5. Follow-up Monitoring Requirements if Discharge Exceeds Numeric Effluent Limit You must conduct follow-up monitoring within 30 calendar days, or during the next qualifying runoff event of implementing corrective action(s) taken pursuant to Part 4.5.14 in response to an exceedance of a numeric effluent limit contained in this permit.

Monitoring must be performed for any pollutant(s) that exceeds the effluent limit. You must continue to monitor, at least quarterly, until your discharge is in compliance with the effluent limit or until DEQ waivers the requirement for additional monitoring. You must include the results of follow-up monitoring in the report.

C. Representative Outfalls - Substantially Identical Discharges.

Applicable monitoring requirements apply to each outfall authorized by this permit, except as otherwise exempt from monitoring as a "substantially identical outfall." If your facility has 2 or more

outfalls that you believe discharge substantially identical effluents, based on similarities of the industrial activities and control measures, exposed materials that may significantly contribute pollutants to stormwater, and runoff coefficients of the outfalls' drainage areas, you may monitor the effluent of just one of the outfalls and report that the results also apply to the substantially identical outfall( s). You may monitor selected substantially identical outfall( s) on a rotating basis. For this to be permissible, you must describe each outfall authorized by this permit and rationale for any substantially identical outfall determinations, including the locations of the outfalls, why the outfalls are expected to discharge substantially identical effluents, estimates of the size of the drainage area (in square feet) for each of the outfalls; and an estimate of the runoff coefficient of the drainage areas (low: under 40 percent; medium: 40 to 65 percent; high: above 65 percent). The allowance for monitoring only one of the substantially identical outfalls is not applicable to any outfalls with numeric effluent limitations. You are required to monitor each outfall covered by a numeric effluent limit as identified in Part 3.4.1 (also see F.7.B.l).

F.8 Reporting A. Reporting Results ofNumeric Effluent Limitation Monitoring (NELM)

You are required to submit the results of your NELM to the DEQ according to the following schedule:

l. Save and submit monitoring results by March 1st of the year following the monitoring period.
2. Visual monitoring results must be retained with the SWP3. Do not submit unless requested to do so by the Executive Director.
3. If required, you must submit NELM results obtained from each outfall associated with industrial activity with electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) that started on December 21, 2016.

Instructions on how to register as a Preparer or Signatory for eDMR, as well as how to prepare and submit eDMR, can be found on DEQ website at http://www.deq.state.ok.us/wgdnew/ereporting/index.html . Assistance is also available by contacting DEQ at (405)702-8100 or deqreporting@deq.ok.gov .

B. Annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation Reporting Requirement

l. An Annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation Report using Form 606-006 found in Addendum G must be filed each year. The report must be filed by March 1st of each year beginning in 2018. If your permit becomes effective less than 1 month from the end of the yearly monitoring period, your first monitoring period starts with the next respective annual monitoring period.
2. The report must include requirements specified in Part F.5 of this Addendum and certified by an authorized representative of your facility (see Part 6.7 of this permit)

ADDENDUM H - BUFFER REQUIRMENTS The purpose of this Addendum is to assist you in complying with the requirements in Parts 3 .3. l .B and 3 .5.2.A of this permit regarding the establishment of natural buffers or equivalent sediment controls.

H.1 Sites that are required to provide and maintain natural buffers and/or equivalent erosion and sediment controls

  • If the land disturbing activities will occur within the Aquatic Resources of Concern (ARC) which are identified by USFWS and ODWC, a vegetated buffer of at least 100 feet is required between the area disturbed and all perennial or intermittent streams on or adjacent to the construction site, or a vegetated buffer of at least 50 feet is required between the area disturbed and all ephemeral streams. If your disturbing activities will be adjacent to the waters of the State, a vegetated buffer of at least 50 feet is required. Figure H - 1 illustrates when a site would be required to comply with the requirements in Part 3 .3. l .D due to their proximity to surface waters. If the surface water is not located within 50 feet of the earth-disturbing activities, Part 3.3.1 does not apply. If you determine that the buffer requirements apply to your site and those buffer requirements cannot be met, you may continue on to Part H. 2 of this Addendum.

Figure H - 1. Example of Earth-Disturbing Activities within 50 feet of surface water.

Area of Surface Water Earth Disturbance Buffer H.2 Compliance Alternatives to the Buffer Requirements The following are 3 compliance alternatives from which permittees can choose, unless you qualify for any of the exceptions in Part H.3 of the Addendum:

1. Provide and maintain a 100-foot or 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer; or
2. Provide and maintain an undisturbed natural buffer that is less than 100-feet or 50-feet and is supplemented by additional erosion and sediment controls that achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 100-foot or 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer; or
3. If infeasible to provide and maintain an undisturbed natural buffer of any size, implement erosion and sediment controls to achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 100-foot or 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer.

The compliance alternative selected must be maintained throughout the duration of permit coverage.

H.3 Exceptions to the Compliance Alternatives The following exceptions apply to the requirement of Parts 3.3 .1.B and 3.5.2.A

  • Construction approved under a CWA Section 404 permit; or
  • Construction of a water-dependent structure or water access areas (e.g., pier, boat ramp, trail); or
  • If there is no discharge of stormwater to waters of the State through the area between the disturbed portions of the site and any waters of the State located within 100-feet or 50-feet of the site; or
  • Where no natural buffer exists due to preexisting development disturbances (e.g., structures, impervious surfaces) that occurred prior to the initiation of planning for the current development of the .

site.

You must document in your SWP3 if any disturbances related to any of the above exceptions occurs within the buffer area on your site.

H.4 Requirements for Providing and Maintaining Natural Buffers This part of the Addendum applies to you if you choose either Compliance Alternative 1 (100-foot or 50-foot buffer) or Compliance Alternative 2 (a buffer of< 100 feet or< 50 feet supplemented by additional erosion and sediment controls that achieve the equivalent sediment load reduction as the 100-foot or 50-foot buffer).

A. Buffer Width Measurement Where you are retaining a buffer of any size, the buffer should be measured perpendicularly from any of the following points, whichever is further landward from the water:

1. The ordinary high water mark of the water body, defined as the line on the shore established by fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, and/or the presence of litter and debris; or
2. The edge of the stream or river bank, bluff, or cliff, whichever is applicable.

Refer to Figure H-2 and Figure H-3. You may find that specifically measuring these points is challenging if the flow path of the surface water changes frequently, thereby causing the measurement line for the buffer to fluctuate continuously along the path of the waterbody. Where this is the case, DEQ suggests that rather than measuring each change or deviation along the water's edge, it may be easier to select regular intervals from which to conduct your measurement. For instance, you may elect to conduct your buffer measurement every 5 to IO feet along the length of the water.

B. Limits to Disturbance within the Buffer You are considered to be in compliance with this requirement to provide and maintain a natural buffer if you retain and protect from construction activities the natural buffer that existed prior to the commencement of construction. If the buffer area contains no vegetation prior to the commencement of construction (e.g., sand or rocky surface), you are not required to plant vegetation. As noted above, any preexisting structures or impervious surfaces are allowed in the buffer provided you retain and protect from disturbance the vegetation in the buffer outside the preexisting disturbance.

To ensure that the water quality protection benefits of the buffer are retained during construction, you are prohibited from conducting any earth-disturbing activities within the buffer during permit coverage.

C. Discharges to the Buffer You must ensure that all discharges from the area of earth disturbance to the natural buffer are first treated by the site's erosion and sediment controls (for example, you must comply with the Part 3.3.1.C requirement to establish sediment controls along any perimeter areas of the site that will receive pollutant discharges),

and if necessary to prevent erosion caused by stormwater flows within the buffer, you must use velocity dissipation devices.

D. SWP3 Documentation You are required to document in your SWP3 the natural buffer width that is retained. For example, if you are complying with Compliance Alternative 1, you must specify in your SWP3 that you are providing a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer. Or, if you will complying with Compliance Alternative 2, you must document the reduced width of the buffer you will retaining (and you must also describe the erosion and sediment controls you will use to achieve an equivalent sediment reduction, as required in Part H.5 below. Note that you must also show any buffers on your site map in your SWP3. Additionally, if any disturbances related to the exceptions in Part H occur within the buffer area, you must document this in the SWP3.

H.5 Guidance for Providing the Equivalent Sediment Reduction as the 100-foot or SO-foot Buffer If you are selecting Compliance Alternative 2 (provide and maintain a buffer that is less than 100 feet or 50 feet that is supplemented by erosion and sediment controls that achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer) or Compliance Alternative 3 (implement erosion and sediment controls to achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer)

A. Determine whether it is Feasible to Provide a Reduced Buffer

DEQ recognizes that there will be a number of situations in which it will be infeasible to provide and maintain a buffer of any width. While some of these situations may exempt you from the buffer requirement entirely (See H.3), if you do not qualify for one of these exemptions, there still may be conditions or circumstances at your site that make it infeasible to provide a natural buffer. For example, there may be sites where a significant portion of the property on which the earth-disturbing activities will occur is located within the buffer area, thereby precluding the retention of natural buffer areas.

Therefore, you should choose Compliance Alternative 2 if it is feasible for you to retain some natural buffer on your site. (Note: For any buffer width retained, you are required to comply with the requirements in Part H.4, above, concerning the retention of vegetation and restricting earth disturbances.) Similarly, if you determine that it is infeasible to provide a natural buffer of any size during construction, you should choose Compliance Alternative 3.

B. Design Controls That Provide Equivalent Sediment Reduction as 100-foot or 50-foot Buffer You must next determine what additional controls must be implemented on your site that alone, or in combination with any retained natural buffer, achieve a reduction in sediment equivalent to that achieved by a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer.

Note that if only a portion of the natural buffer is less than 50 feet, you are only required to implement erosion and sediment controls that achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to the 50-foot buffer for discharges through that area. You would not be required to provide additional treatment of stormwater discharges that flow through 50 feet or more of natural buffer. See Figure H - 4.

Figure H - 4 Example of how to comply with the requirement to provide the equivalent sediment reduction when only a portion of your earth-disturbances discharge to a buffer of less than 50 feet.

Discharges through this Surface area are required to be treated to Water provide the equivalent sediment reduction as the SO-foot buffer.

Discharges through this area are not required to be treated to provide the equivalent sediment reduction as the SO-foot buffer since the SO-foot buffer is provided. *- ...~

Area of Earth Disturbance Steps to help you meet Compliance Alternative 2 and 3 requirements are provided below:

Step 1 - Estimate the Sediment Reduction from the 100-foot or 50-foot Buffer In order to design controls that match the sediment removal efficiency of a 100-foot or 50- foot buffer, you first need to know what this efficiency is for your site. The sediment removal efficiencies of natural buffers vary according to a number of site-specific factors, including precipitation, soil type, land cover, slope length, width, steepness, and the types of sediment controls used to reduce the

discharge of sediment prior to the buffer. DEQ has simplified this calculation by developing buffer performance tables covering a range of vegetation and soil types for the areas covered by the permit.

See Attachment 1, Tables H - 1 through H - 4.

Note: buffer performance values in Tables H - 1 through H - 4 represent the percent of sediment captured through the use of perimeter controls (e.g., silt fences) and 100-foot or 50-foot buffers at disturbed sites of fixed proportions and slopes. Using Tables H - 1 through H - 4 (see Attachment 1),

you can determine the sediment removal efficiency of a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer for your geographic area by matching the vegetative cover type and the type of soils that predominate at your site. For example, if your site is located in Oklahoma City (see Table H - 1), and your buffer vegetation corresponds most closely with that of fescue grass, and the soil type at your site is best typified as sand, your site's sediment removal efficiency would be 90 percent.

In this step, you should choose the vegetation type in the tables that most closely matches the vegetation that would exist naturally in the buffer area on your site regardless of the condition of the buffer. However, because you are not required to plant any additional vegetation in the buffer area, in determining what controls are necessary to meet this sediment removal equivalency in Step 2 below, you will be able to take credit for this area as a fully vegetated "natural buffer."

Similarly, if a portion of the buffer area adjacent to the surface water is owned by another party and is not under your control, you can treat the area of land not under control as having the equivalent vegetative cover and soil type that predominates on the portion of the property on which your construction activities are occurring. For example, if your earth-disturbances occur within 50 feet of a surface water, but the 10 feet of land immediately adjacent to the surface water is owned by a different party than the land on which your construction activities are taking place and you do not have control over that land, you can treat the 10 foot area adjacent to the stream as having the equivalent soil and vegetation type that predominates in the 40 foot area under your control. You would then make the same assumption in Step 2 for purposes of determining the equivalent sediment removal.

Alternatively, you may do your own calculation of the effectiveness of the 50-foot buffer based upon your site-specific conditions, and may use this number as your sediment removal equivalency standard to meet instead of using Tables H - 1 through H - 4. This calculation must be documented in your SWP3.

Step 2 - Design Controls That Match the Sediment Removal Efficiency of the 100-foot or 50-foot Buffer Once you have determined the estimated sediment removal efficiency of a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer for your site in Step 1, you must next select stormwater controls that will provide an equivalent sediment load reductions.

To make the determination that your controls and/or buffer area achieve an equivalent sediment load reduction as the 100-foot or 50-foot buffer, you may use stormwater controls listed in Tables H-1 through H-4 toselect a single designed control, such as 12" or 6" wattle, roll material, silt fence or straw mulch or gravel bag berm (see Attachment 1), or you will use a model or other type of calculator.

There are a variety of models available that can be used to support your calculation, including USDA's RUSLE-series programs and the WEPP erosion model, SEDCAD, SEDIMOT, or other models.

Alternatively, you may elect to install a combination of stormwater controls and to retain some amount of a buffer. Whichever control(s) you select, you must demonstrate in your SWP3 that the controls will provide at a minimum the same sediment removal capabilities as the 100-foot or 50-foot buffer (Step 1). You are allowed to take credit for the removal efficiencies of your required perimeter controls in your calculation of equivalency, because these were included in calculating the buffer removal efficiencies in Tables H - 1 through H - 4. (Note: You are reminded that the controls must be kept in effective operating condition until you have completed final stabilization on the disturbed portions of the site discharging to the surface water.)

If you are retaining a buffer of less than 100 feet or 50 feet, you may take credit for the removal that will occur from the reduced buffer and only need to provide additional controls to make up the difference between the removal efficiency of a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer and the removal efficiency of the narrower buffer. For example, if you are retaining a 30-foot buffer, you can account for the

sediment removal provided by the 30-foot buffer retained, and you will only need to design controls to make up for the additional removal provided by the 20-foot of buffer that is not being provided. To do this, you would plug the width of the buffer that is retained into RUSLE or another model, along with other stormwater controls that will together achieve a sediment reduction equivalent to a natural 50-foot buffer.

As described in Step 1 above, you can take credit for the area you have retained as a "natural buffer" as being fully vegetated, regardless of the condition of the buffer area.

For example, ifyour earth-disturbances occur within 30 feet of a surface water, but the 10 feet of land immediately adjacent to the surface water is owned by a different party than the land on which your construction activities are taking place and you do not have control over that land, you can treat the 10-foot area adjacent to the stream as having the equivalent soil and vegetation type a natural buffer, regardless of the activities that are taking place in the area. Therefore, you can assume (for purposes of your equivalency calculation) that your site is providing the sediment removal equivalent of a 30-foot buffer, and you will only need to design controls to make up for the additional removal provided by the 20- foot of buffer that is not being provided.

Step 3 - Document How Site-Specific Controls Will Achieve the Sediment Removal Efficiency of the 100-foot or 50-foot Buffer In Steps 1 and 2, you determined both the expected sediment removal efficiency of a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer at your site, and you used this number as a performance standard to design controls to be installed at your site, which alone or in combination with any retained natural buffer, achieves the expected sediment removal efficiency of a 100-foot or 50-foot buffer at your site. The final step is to document in your SWP3 the information you relied on to calculate the equivalent sediment reduction as an undisturbed natural buffer. DEQ will consider your documentation to be sufficient if it generally meets the following:

For Step 1: refer to the Table in Attachment 1 that you used to derive your estimated 100-foot or 50-foot buffer sediment removal efficiency performance. Include information about the buffer vegetation and soil type that predominate at your site, which you used to select the sediment load reduction value in Tables H - 1 through H - 4. Or, if you conducted a site-specific calculation for sediment removal efficiency, provide the specific removal efficiency, and the information you relied on to make your site-specific calculation.

For Step 2: (1) Specify a single designed stormwater control (see Table H H-4) or other stormwater controls that you used to estimate sediment load reductions from your site. Specify a model or other type of calculator that you used to support your calculation if any; and (2) the results of calculations showing how your controls will meet or exceed the sediment removal efficiency from Step 1. If you choose Compliance Alternative 3, you must also include in your SWP3 a description of why it is infeasible for you to provide and maintain an undisturbed natural buffer of any size.

ATTACHMENT 1 Sediment Removal Efficiency Tables: Percent of sediment removal was calculated for a 200-foot runoff area with a 100-foot buffer, and a 100-foot runoff area with a 50-foot buffer. DEQ recognizes that very high removal efficiencies, even where theoretically achievable by a 50-foot or 100-foot buffer, may be very difficult to achieve in practice using alternative controls. Therefore in the tables below, DEQ has limited the removal efficiencies to a maximum of 90%. Efficiencies that were calculated at greater than 90% are shown as 90%, and this is the minimum percent removal that must be achieved by alternative controls.

When more than one alternative BMP must be used to compensate for the loss of the buffer strip, this amount should be calculated using the following formula:

Removal Rate10101 = Removal Rate 1 + ( 1 - Removal Rate 1 )(Removal Rate 2 )

For example, if we are installing two BMPs that both have a 70% removal rate, the total removal rate 1s:

0.70 + (1 - 0.70)(0.70) = 0.91 = 91 %
