Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Introduction

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb I or more acres of land or from smaller sites that are part of a larger, common plan of development or sale which will disturb a cumulative total of 1 or more acres. For the purpose of the NPDES program, construction activities are defined as clearing, grading, excavation, and other construction-related activities (e.g.,

stockpiling of fill material, placement of raw materials at the site).

In the State of Oklahoma, the NPDES program has been delegated to the Water Quality Division of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (Oklahoma DEQ). Construction projects that will disturb greater than I acre of land are issued a certificate of permit coverage under Oklahoma DEQ General Permit OK.RIO (Permit), which authorizes the discharge of stormwater associated with construction activities into State waters. Coverage under the Permit is obtained by developing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOi) to the Oklahoma DEQ. The SWP3 must be developed prior to NOi submittal.

Stormwater discharges from construction activities associated with the Groundwater Remediation Project (Project) for Cimarron Environmental Response Trust (CERT) are authorized under the Permit; copies of the Permit and NOi are provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively. The Permit authorization will be included in Appendix B once received.

The SWP3 described herein establishes a plan to manage the quality of stormwater runoff from construction activities associated with the Project and was developed in accordance with the requirements and guidelines specified in the Permit. The SWP3 was also written with the assistance of and information from the EPA's 2007 Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan: A Guide for Construction Sites.

This SWP3 must be used by onsite construction personnel to reduce soil erosion and to minimize the potential for sediment and other on site pollutants to leave the Project site and enter waters of the State of Oklahoma. The SWP3 identifies a set of best management practices (BMPs) to be implemented on the Project site; however, BMPs may need to be moved, added, or redesigned to control erosion and sedimentation to the extent practicable. The SWP3 must be updated and revised when stormwater control measures are modified due to a change in design, construction method, operation, maintenance procedure, etc.

Doug Cox, Site BMP Installation Remediation Services, Inc. (918) 688-9617 Superintendent and Maintenance Foreman 1.3 Standard Permit Conditions This section discusses State and Federal penalties for noncompliance with the Permit, as well as standard Permit conditions. The staff responsible for implementation of the SWP3 must be familiar with the requirements of the SWP3 and the Permit.

1.3.1 Duty to Comply with Permit Conditions The Oklahoma DEQ and EPA have substantial penalties for noncompliance with the Permit. Bums &

McDonnell has a duty to comply with Permit conditions. Failure to comply with Permit conditions is a violation of the Permit and statutes under which it was issued and is grounds for enforcement action including terminating Permit coverage, modification of Permit coverage, or denial of the Permit renewal application, as well as potential criminal, civil, and administrative penalties.

1.3.2 Notice of Intent The Oklahoma DEQ requires all projects that disturb more than 1 acre to submit a NOi and develop a SWP3. A copy of this SWP3 will be kept for public inspection in the site manager's truck.

CERT 1-3 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Introduction If a modification to the NOi is necessary, due to changes to the Project (e.g., the extent of disturbance has increased), an amended NOi must be submitted to the Oklahoma DEQ. However, an amended NOi should not be submitted if the extant of the disturbance has decreased. The amendment must include the Project's assigned Permit number and the requested change. The SWP3 must be updated to reflect the modifications.

1.3.3 Site Notice Posting Requirements A copy of the NOi and a Construction Site Notice (Appendix C) must be posted at the entrance to the Project site so it is visible from a public road. At a minimum, the Construction Site Notice must include the Project description, the NPDES Permit tracking number, and a contact name and phone number for obtaining additional Project information.

1.3.4 SWP3 Modification The SWP3 must be modified, including site map(s), within 7 calendar days for any of the following conditions:

  • A new operator becomes active on Project site
  • Construction plans, erosion or sediment control BMPs, or other construction activities have changed and are no longer accurately reflected in the SWP3
  • Operational control of a portion of the Project site has change
  • Site inspections or investigations by Oklahoma DEQ have determined that modifications are necessary
  • Oklahoma DEQ determines it necessary to installed and/or implement additional controls to meet the requirements of the Permit (e.g., an approved Total Maximum Daily Load report applies to the site)
  • A revision to local, State, or Federal regulations affect the erosion and sediment control BMPs implemented onsite SWP3 modifications shall also include the date and the name of the person authorizing the modification.

If there are multiple operators (or subcontractors) impacted by the modifications, the permittee must immediately notify them of the modifications.

1.3.5 Notice of Termination Permit coverage is terminated by submitting a Notice of Termination (NOT) to the Oklahoma DEQ within 30 days of final stabilization and completion of the Project. Authorization to discharge will be CERT 1-4 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Introduction terminated when DEQ issues a termination letter to the permittee indicating that all termination requirements have been met and their completed NOT has been processed. A copy of the NOT form is included in Appendix D.

1.3.6 Retention of Records A copy of the SWP3 must be maintained onsite (e.g., construction office, site manager's truck) from the date of Project initiation to the date of Project completion. Records must be maintained for dates when clearing occurs, construction activities temporarily or permanently cease, stabilization measures are initiated, and final stabilization is achieved. Bums & McDonnell must retain copies of the SWP3, reports required by the Permit, and records of data used to complete the NOi for a period of at least 3 years from the date that the Project site is finally stabilized and the NOT submittal date. The time period may be extended at the request of the Director of the Oklahoma DEQ at any time.

1.4 SWP3 Certification CERT must certify the SWP3 by signing the Owner's Certification form (located at the front of this document). This form must also be attached to any Project-related document identified by Part 6.7 of the Permit. By signing the Contractor Certification form (also located near the front of this document, copy as needed), contractors and subcontractors signify that they have read, understand, and will adhere to the SWP3 before conducting construction work that involves soil disturbance. The signed certification confirms that CERT has notified the contractor or subcontractor that a SWP3 has been prepared for the Project and that it will perform the necessary actions identified to comply with the SWP3 and the Permit.

CERT 1-5 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Construction Activities and Site Description 2.0 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AND SITE DESCRIPTION The following sections include a description of the construction activities that will take place for the Project as well as information regarding the natural resources in and adjacent to the Project site.

2.1 Nature of Construction Activity The Project will construct four injection trenches and one extraction trench in Logan County, Oklahoma (35°53'00.84"N, 97°34'34.03"W) to test the groundwater injection and extraction efficiency as part of final design for a groundwater remediation project. The goal of the groundwater remediation project is to reduce the concentration of contaminates (e.g., uranium, nitrates, and fluorides) in the groundwater to levels that will allow unrestricted release of the site and license termination from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Oklahoma DEQ. Major soil-disturbing activities associated with the Project include trenching, excavation, backfilling, and vehicular traffic. The Project site is approximately 665 acres, of which an estimated 1 acre will be disturbed. Construction is scheduled to begin on September 18, 2017, with an estimated completion date of January 15, 2018. This SWP3 has been developed to address all construction activities associated with the Project.

2.2 Planned Sequence of Major Construction Activities The following is a chronological list of the planned sequence of activities and implementation of temporary BMPs for Project construction:

1. Install erosion and sediment control BMPs, including silt fence, prior to any earth-disturbing activities (September 2017).
2. Strip and stockpile topsoil (September 2017).
3. Excavate the test trenches to the specified depth and dimensions (September to November 2017).
4. Clean and scour the sidewalls of the trenches (October to November 2017).
5. Install groundwater injection/extraction well piping and risers (October to November 2017).
6. Backfill trenches with aggregate to prescribed depth and cover with geotextile (October to November 2017).
7. Backfill trench to existing grade with trenching spoils (October to November 2017).
8. Re-establish topsoil and vegetative soil cover (November to December 2017).
9. Upon achievement of final stabilization, remove temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs.
10. Submit the NOT to Oklahoma DEQ.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Construction Activities and Site Description 2.3 Site Maps The General Vicinity Map, Detailed Water Resources Map, and Soils Map are provided in Appendix E.

2.4 Soils According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Web Soil Survey of Logan County, Oklahoma, 23 soil types are found on the Project site. These soil types are detailed in Table 2-1 and depicted on the Soils Map. The erosion factor K, with possible values ranging from 0.02 to 0.69, signifies how susceptible a soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water. The larger the K value, the more susceptible the soil is to erosion. The upper horizons of the soil within the Project site have a low to moderately high susceptibility to erosion by water, with erosion K factors between 0.05 and 0.49.

2.5 Estimate of Runoff Coefficient The runoff coefficient "e" is the ratio of the volume of stormwater runoff from a site compared to the total volume of precipitation that falls on the site. Major variables affecting "e" are rainfall intensity and duration. For a given terrain, the ratio of runoff to rainfall is expected to increase as storm intensity or duration increase. An estimate of "e" is needed for runoff conditions on the Project site before construction activities commence and after the area is stabilized. Based on site evaluations and available CERT 2-3 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Construction Activities and Site Description soils data, the pre-construction "C" value for the Project site is 0.22. Because no additional impervious surfaces are being added to the site, the post-construction "C" value is anticipated to be 0.22. The "C" value was determined using the 1992 Rational Method from Design and Construction of Urban Storm Water Management Systems, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (Appendix E).

2.6 Potential Pollutants The primary pollutant sources on the Project site will be disturbed soils and subsequent stormwater runoff caused by grading and site excavation operations, vehicle tracking, and soil stockpiling. BMPs must be used on the Project site to control erosion and minimize sedimentation of disturbed soils. Other potential pollutants that may be present onsite are included in Table 2-2.

During Project construction, the following discharges may occur:

  • Water used to wash vehicles where detergents are not used
  • Water used to control dust in accordance with Part 3.3.1.F of OKRI0
  • Uncontaminated ground water or spring water
  • Flows from emergency firefighting activities, if measures are taken by permittee or site/facility, as soon as practicable, to reduce any such pollutant releases, minimizing impacts on water quality and ensuring public health and safety CERT 2-4 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Construction Activities and Site Description

  • Uncontaminated flows from excavation dewatering activities, if operational and structural controls are used to reduce pollutant releases in order to avoid or minimize the impacts on water quality in accordance with Part 3 .3. l.M of OKR 1O; these structural controls must be included in the SWP3 .
  • Uncontaminated air conditioning or compressor condensate
  • Landscape irrigation
  • Potable water, including uncontaminated waterline flushing The following discharges will not be associated with the Project.
  • Fire hydrant flushings
  • Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as solvents.
  • Routine external building wash down that does not use detergents and/or the external surfaces do not contain leachable hazardous substances (e.g., paint or caulk containing polychlorinated biphenyls ).
  • Pavement wash waters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not occurred

( unless all spilled material has been removed) and where detergents are not used.

2. 7 Threatened and Endangered Species According to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, no State-listed threatened or endangered species are known to occur in Logan County, Oklahoma. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation, two federally listed endangered species and three threatened species are listed as potentially occurring in Logan County, Oklahoma. These species and their respective status are listed in Table 2-3.

CERT 2-5 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Construction Activities and Site Description Critical habitat for the Arkansas River shiner is located adjacent to the Project site. However, it has been determined that Project activities are "not likely to adversely affect" the listed species or critical habitat.

The USFWS concurrence letter is provided in Appendix F.

2.8 Cultural Resources According to the National Register of Historic Places and the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office, no historic properties are located on or near the Project site. Additionally, no architectural properties are listed on or nominated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. While cultural resources are not anticipated in the area of disturbance, workers must stop work immediately and notify Burns & McDonnell and the construction office upon discovery of items with potential historical significance, including but not limited to: arrowheads, bones, old bottles or building materials, building foundations, and suspected gravesites. If human remains are unearthed during excavation work, then the area must be secured, and the local law enforcement agency must be contacted immediately.

2.9 Water Quality and Impaired Waters According to the U.S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Project site, the first receiving waters are the Cimarron River (OK620910010010_10) and its unnamed tributaries, as depicted on the Detailed Water Resources Map provided in Appendix E. This segment of the Cimarron River is not listed as impaired on the 2014 Oklahoma Section 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. The Project will maintain a natural vegetated buffer (refer to Section 4.1) along all streams and will use BMPs (Chapter 3.0 and Chapter 4.0) as depicted on the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESC Plan) in Appendix G to retain sediment onsite during construction. Project activities are not anticipated to adversely impact the receiving waters.

The Oklahoma DEQ has identified certain waterbodies and watersheds as Outstanding Resource Waters or Aquatic Resources of Concern (ARC) based on water quality or species habitat. In order to minimize sediment impacts, additional controls are required on projects that discharge to these sensitive waterbodies. No Outstanding Resource Waters are located on or adjacent to the Project site; however the Cimarron River has been designated as an ARC. According to Addendum A of the Permit, a 2-mile corridor (1 mile from each bank) must be established along the Cimarron River and is depicted on the General Vicinity Map, Detailed Water Resources Map, and ESC Plan. The additional requirements outlined in Part 3.3.2.A.2, Part 3.5.2, and Part 10.2 of the Permit (refer to Chapter 5.0 and Chapter 6.0) will be adhered to in the ARC corridor due to this designation.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Controls - Structural Practices 3.0 CONTROLS - STRUCTURAL PRACTICES The following sections detail the structural erosion and sediment control BMPs and practices that must be implemented prior to the start of major earth-disturbing activities on the Project site.

3.1 Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Practices Erosion and sediment control BMPs must be in place prior to soil-disturbing activities and must be maintained throughout construction. To limit the potential of sediment leaving the Project site, erosion and sediment control BMPs may be required in other locations of the Project site as work progresses.

These BMPs must be evaluated by the contractor/owner's representative in the field; if measures are changed, then the SWP3 must be modified in accordance with Chapter 6.0 of this document. The minimum temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs that will be used for the Project are discussed in the following subsections.

3.1.1 Street Sweeping Construction equipment and vehicles will use an existing aggregate access road to gain access to the site.

Soil and sediment tracked off the Project site and onto the surface of a public roadway, paved area, or sidewalk must be removed by sweeping and/or shoveling the roadway, paved area, or sidewalk surfaces, or by using other similarly effective means of sediment removal. Tracked-out soil and sediment must not be hosed or swept into any stormwater conveyance ( unless it is connected to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), storm drain inlet, or surface water. Tracked-out soil and sediment must be removed by the end of the same work day in which the track-out occurs or by the end of the next work day if track-out occurs on a non-work day.

3.1.2 Silt Fence Silt fence will be used to intercept and retain sediment carried by sheet flow from disturbed areas and to limit sediment-laden runoff from leaving the Project site during construction. Silt fence should be placed perpendicular to the direction of water flow and as close to the topographic contours as possible, with the ends extending upslope. Silt fence should also be placed downslope of disturbed areas where sheet or rill erosion would occur and around soil stockpiles. Silt fence must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis, and sediment buildup must be removed when sediment reaches 50 percent of the height of the barrier. Silt fence may be installed with an additional wire backing to provide extra strength in locations that may receive higher stormwater runoff volumes. Locations requiring silt fence are indicated on the ESC Plan in Appendix G, and installation details for silt fence can be found in Appendix H.

CERT 3-1 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Controls - Structural Practices 3.1.3 Dewatering If dewatering becomes necessary, then the contractor will submit to Bums & McDonnel a dewatering plan, including appropriate BMPs, prior to any dewatering activities. Dewatering must be completed in such a way as to limit turbidity, including the use of filter bags or other appropriate measures. Dewatering waters will not be discharged to any wetlands, within natural vegetative buffers, or in a way that could cause erosion or scouring. Intakes shall draw from the top of the water column to the extent practicable to limit sediment and suspended solids from being pumped. Dewatering will not be allowed without Bums

& McDonnell's approval. The ESC Plan (Appendix G) indicates the location specified for dewatering activity discharges, and filter bag details are provided in Appendix H.

3.1.4 Soil Stockpiles Soil stockpiles must be located outside of any natural buffers and the I 00-year floodplain, and they must be protected with silt fence. All inactive soil stockpiles, that will not be used for 14 or more days, shall be covered or temporarily stabilized to avoid direct contact with precipitation, limit sediment discharge, and control the generation of dust (OKR IO Parts 3 .3. l.E and 3 .3 .2). Topsoil will be stockpiled separate from subsoil to preserve the seed bank and aid in restoration. Any excess subsoil, displaced by the aggregate fill, will be tested for contamination. Subsoil that is found to be contaminated will be disposed of in a manner consistent with State and Federal regulations. Subsoil that is not contaminated will be spread in a thin layer, outside of any natural buffers and the I 00-year floodplain, and stabilized onsite. Soil stockpile locations are indicated on the ESC Plan in Appendix G.

3.1.5 Material Storage and Equipment Staging Area There will be no dedicated onsite material storage areas or equipment and construction staging areas on this Project. Construction equipment will be staged overnight at the trench location, within the silt fence perimeter. For the trenches that are located within the 100-year floodplain, the equipment will be staged overnight at the soil stockpile location, within the silt fence perimeter.

3.2 Permanent Stormwater Control Practices Permanent stormwater control BMPs are those that will be left in place after construction is finished and the site is stabilized to manage stormwater flow and quality. These BMPs must be in place prior to completion of the Project and before submitting the NOT. No permanent stormwater control BMPs are anticipated for this Project. If it is determined by the contractor/owner's representative in the field that permanent stormwater control BMPs need to be installed, then the SWP3 must be modified in accordance with Chapter 6.0 of this document.

CERT 3-2 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Controls - Stabilization Practices 4.0 CONTROLS - STABILIZATION PRACTICES The following sections detail the stabilization practices to be implemented during and after Project construction activities.

4.1 Stabilization Stabilization measures must be initiated immediately whenever earth-disturbing activities have permanently or temporarily ceased on any portion of the Project site and will not resume for a period exceeding 7 calendar days. Temporary and permanent stabilization activities must be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than 7 calendar days after the initiation of stabilization.

As soon as practicable, but no later than 7 calendar days after the initiation of soil stabilization measures, the contractor is required to have completed:

I. For vegetative stabilization, all activities necessary to initially seed or plant the area to be stabilized; and/or

2. For non-vegetative stabilization, the installation or application of all such non-vegetative measures.

4.2 Temporary Stabilization If earth-disturbing activities cease for a period exceeding 7 calendar days, on a portion of the project, and temporary stabilization becomes necessary. an annual grass (e.g., wheat, rye) will be planted in accordance with specifications outlined in Appendix H.

If seeding alone is not sufficient to control for erosion, then an erosion control blankets (ECB) may be used as a structural control. Staples, pins, or stakes must be used to limit movement or displacement of the ECB. ECBs should consist of natural fibers or be UV-degradable over time and should be used with caution in certain areas because the blanket netting may pose a threat to certain wildlife species if they become entangled in the netting matrix. Installation and maintenance details for ECBs are provided in Appendix H.

4.3 Final Stabilization The Project is considered finally stabilized when all soil-disturbing activities have been completed and a uniform (i.e., evenly distributed, without large bare areas of IO square feet or greater) perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70 percent of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been CERT 4-1 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Controls - Stabilization Practices established on all unpaved areas. For those areas not covered by permanent vegetation control measures, an equivalent permanent stabilization measure (e.g., riprap, gabions, or geotextiles) must be used.

4.4 Permanent Vegetative Cover Permanent sodding, or seeding and mulching, will occur on disturbed areas within the Project site where construction has terminated. The contractor must submit its seeding plan and mixture to Bums &

McDonnell for approval prior to restoration activities. Bums & McDonnell is specifying that the contractor apply the seed in accordance with Oklahoma Department of Transportation Commission specifications.

Areas of soil disturbance may need supplementation from fertilizer prior to establishing vegetative cover.

Soil tests may be necessary to determine the most appropriate fertilizer for each location. Fertilizer must be applied in amounts consistent with manufacturer's specifications, Any departures from the specifications must be documented. Fertilizer shall be applied at the appropriate time of the year and timed to coincide as closely as possible with the period of maximum vegetation uptake and growth.

Fertilizer shall not be applied before heavy rains, in stormwater conveyance channels, or on frozen ground. All local, State, and Federal requirements regarding fertilizer application shall be followed.

CERT 4-2 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Other Controls 5.0 OTHER CONTROLS The following sections detail other controls to be implemented during the Project construction activities to limit the potential for pollutants and sediment to reach waters of the State.

5.1 Natural Vegetated Buffer When land-disturbing activities will occur within an ARC corridor, a natural vegetated buffer of at least 100 feet is required along all perennial and intermittent streams; a 50-foot vegetated buffer is required along all ephemeral streams and drainages. No disturbance is expected to take place within the vegetated buffers established in the ARC corridor, and erosion and sediment control BMPs (Chapter 3 .0) will be implemented to limit sedimentation in the Cimarron River.

5.2 Dust Control Preventative measures will be taken during times of extreme drought or heavy winds when exposed soil is susceptible to wind erosion. In areas where bare soil is exposed, water or other approved and acceptable dust palliatives will be applied to the soil to limit wind erosion. Precautions should be taken not to over-water and erode soils. In addition, appropriate speed limits will be established within the Project site to limit the generation of dust. Spoil piles should be temporarily stabilized or covered to limit wind erosion.

5.3 Waste Materials Solid and liquid waste (including sediment, asphalt, concrete millings, floating debris, paper, plastic, fabric, and construction and demolition debris) must be disposed of in accordance with applicable disposal requirements and regulations. Solid or liquid wastes must not be disposed of onsite (e.g., buried or poured), but must be taken offsite for proper disposal. Waste container lids must be closed during precipitation events when not in use, when there is a significant chance of precipitation, and/or when the site is inactive or work is not in progress. If the waste container does not have a lid or could leak, other means to limit discharge of pollutants are required (e.g., cover with a tarp, place under a temporary roof, provide secondary containment). Waste containers must be inspected regularly, and waste stored onsite will be kept from contacting stormwater to the extent practicable.

5.4 Sanitary Waste Contractors and subcontractors must comply with local and State portable toilet regulations. Each contractor or subcontractor must provide sanitary facilities for its crews on the Project site for the duration of construction activities. These must not be placed in low-lying areas or near a waterbody and must be CERT 5-1 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Other Controls positioned so they are secure and cannot be tipped over. Sanitary facilities should be used by construction personnel and must be serviced regularly by a licensed contractor.

5.5 Hazardous Waste Hazardous or toxic waste must be separated from construction and domestic waste and must be stored in sealed containers constructed of suitable materials to prevent leakage or corrosion. These containers should be stored within appropriately sized secondary containment. Hazardous waste material must be disposed of in the manner specified by the manufacturer and by local, State, and Federal regulations.

Spills must be cleaned up immediately and in accordance with protocols outlined in Chapter 7.0. Site personnel must be made aware of these requirements.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Maintenance and Inspection

  • Check whether all erosion and sediment controls and pollution prevention controls are installed and operational, and determine if controls require replacement, repair, or maintenance.
  • Check for the presence of conditions that could lead to spills, leaks, or other accumulations of pollutants.
  • Identify locations where new or modified stormwater controls are necessary to meet the requirements of Parts 3 .3 and 3 .4 of the Permit.
  • Check discharge points and banks of any surface waters flowing within the Project boundaries or adjacent areas for signs of visible erosion and sedimentation that are attributable to site discharge; if discharge points are not accessible, check nearby downstream locations to the extent practicable.
  • Identify incidents of noncompliance.
  • If discharge is occurring at the time of an inspection:

o Identify all points of the property from which a discharge occurs.

o Observe and document the visual quality of the discharge (color, odor, oils, suspended solids, and other stormwater pollutants).

o Document whether stormwater controls are operating effectively and note controls that are not operating effectively.

  • Inspect locations where vehicles enter or exit the Project site for evidence of offsite sediment tracking along public paved roadways.

In areas of the Project site where construction activities have permanently or temporarily ceased and will not resume for a period exceeding 7 calendar days, stabilization measures must be initiated immediately.

The inspection frequency may be reduced to once per month in areas where seeding has been completed, appropriate non-vegetative cover ( e.g., hydromulch, erosion control blankets) has been provided, or temporary, non-vegetative stabilization (e.g., riprap, geotextiles, gabions) has been installed. Inspections shall immediately increase to the standard frequency if construction activities resume.

6.1.3 Inspection Report A report summarizing each inspection must be prepared including:

  • Inspection date
  • Name and title of the person making the inspection
  • Summary of inspection findings
  • Rain gauge or weather station precipitation CERT 6-2 Burns & McDonnell

Each inspection record must be signed in accordance with OKR 10 Part 6. 7.2 and must be filed and made available onsite.

6.2 SWP3 Staff Training SWP3 staff training will be conducted by Mr. Lux or his designee prior to the start of earth-disturbing activities. Personnel with the following responsibilities must be trained to understand the requirements of this SWP3:

  • Design, installation, and maintenance/repair of stormwater controls
  • Application and storage of chemicals
  • Taking corrective actions Personnel must also be trained to understand:
  • The location and the maintenance requirements for each stormwater control
  • The pollution prevention requirements outlined in this SWP3
  • How to conduct inspections, record applicable findings, and take necessary corrective actions 6.3 Corrective Action In all circumstances, reasonable methods must be implemented immediately to minimize or limit the discharge of pollutants until a permanent solution is installed and made operational. This includes repairing, modifying, or replacing any stormwater control used on the Project site and the cleanup and disposal of spills and releases. For any of the following conditions, a new or modified control must be installed no later than 7 calendar days from the discovery of any of the following:
  • A required stormwater control was never installed or was installed incorrectly.
  • A stormwater control is not effective enough for the discharge to meet applicable water quality standards.
  • A prohibited discharge (OKRI0 Parts 3.1 and 3.3.3.A) is occurring or has occurred.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Spill Prevention and Control 7.0 SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL This chapter describes measures to prevent, control, and minimize impacts from a spill of a hazardous, toxic, or petroleum substance during construction of the Project. It also describes the transport, storage, and disposal procedures for the potentially hazardous materials to be used on the Project site and outlines the procedures to be followed in the event of a spill of a contaminating or toxic substance.

As per 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 112, a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan) must be prepared if the Project site will have 1,320 gallons or more of petroleum storage capacity in 55-gallon-sized or larger containers. This includes temporary tanks or fueling trucks used to "store" petroleum onsite. The truck would be subject to the SPCC Plan rules when parked on the construction site and used for "storage."

If the cumulative petroleum quantity stored onsite by a contractor or subcontractor exceeds 1,320 gallons, then the contractor or subcontractor must maintain a certified SPCC Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112.

7 .1 Materials Management Practices The proper use and storage of materials and equipment greatly reduce the potential for contaminating stormwater runoff. The following list of good housekeeping practices should be implemented during the Project:

  • Hazardous materials, chemicals, fuels, and oils should not be stored within 100 feet of a stream bank, wetland, water supply well, spring, or other waterbody.
  • Fueling of construction equipment should not be conducted within 100 feet of a stream bank, wetland, water supply well, spring, or other waterbody.
  • The minimum amount of hazardous or toxic materials should be stored onsite.
  • Onsite materials should be stored in a neat, orderly manner, in appropriate containers, and under a roof or other enclosure.
  • Products should be kept in original containers with the original manufacturer's label.
  • Substances should not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Whenever possible, a container's contents should be used completely prior to container disposal.
  • If surplus product must be disposed of, then the manufacturers' and local- and State-recommended methods for proper disposal should be followed.

CERT 7-1 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Spill Prevention and Control 7.1.1 Non-Petroleum Products Due to the chemical makeup of specific products, certain handling and storage procedures are required to promote the safety of handlers and limit the possibility of pollution. Care should be taken to follow directions and warnings for products used on the Project site. Pertinent information can be found on the Safety Data Sheet (SOS) for each product. The SOS must be kept onsite.

7.1.2 Petroleum Products Onsite vehicles should be monitored for leaks and receive regular maintenance to reduce the chance of leakage. Inspections for leaks or spillage must occur during the inspection of BMPs. Petroleum products must be stored in tightly sealed, clearly labeled containers. If feasible, the containers should be stored in a covered truck or trailer that provides secondary containment.

Bulk storage tanks with a capacity of greater than 55 gallons must have secondary containment.

Containment can be provided by temporary earthen berms lined with plastic sheeting or other means approved by Burns & McDonnell. After each rainfall event, the site inspector must inspect the contents of the secondary containment area for excess water. If no sheen is visible, then the collected water can be pumped to the ground in a manner that does not cause scouring. If sheen is present, then the water must be treated prior to discharge or must be transported and disposed of offsite in accordance with local, State, and Federal requirements.

Bulk fuel or lubricating oil dispensers should not have a self-locking mechanism that allows for unsupervised fueling. Fueling operations should be observed to immediately detect and contain spills.

No waste oil or other petroleum-based products will be disposed of onsite (e.g., buried or poured), but must be taken offsite for proper disposal.

7 .2 Spill Response In addition to the material management practices discussed previously, the following spill control and cleanup practices must be used to limit stormwater pollution in the event of a spill.

  • Contractors and subcontractors must make onsite personnel aware of cleanup procedures and the location of spill equipment.
  • Spills must be contained and cleaned up immediately after discovery.
  • Manufacturer's methods for spill cleanup of a material must be followed, as described on the material ' s SOS.

CERT 7-2 Burns & McDonnell

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Spill Prevention and Control

  • Materials and equipment needed for cleanup procedures must be kept readily available onsite, either at an equipment storage area or on contractors' or subcontractors' trucks; equipment to be kept onsite will include, but not be limited to, brooms, dust pans, shovels, granular absorbents, sand, sawdust, absorbent pads and booms, plastic and metal trash containers, gloves, and goggles.
  • Toxic, hazardous, or petroleum product spills, required by regulation to be reported, must be documented to the appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies.
  • Spills must be documented, and a record of spills must be kept with this SWP3.

The Federal reportable spill quantities for hazardous materials are listed in 40 CFR Part 302.4, List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities. A procedure for determining a reportable spill is included in Appendix J of this SWP3 , along with a copy of the Spill Report Form to be completed in the event of a reportable spill. The reportable spill quantities for hazardous materials in the State of Oklahoma follow the Federal reportable quantities listed in 40 CFR Part 302.4.

If a spill occurs onsite, then the contractor's or subcontractor's superintendent must initiate initial spill response, including measures to localize the spill impact via containment. The contractor's or subcontractor's superintendent must notify Mr. Lux (Table 1-1 ), within 15 minutes of discovering a spill.

Mr. Lux will coordinate spill response procedures to document the spill and provide the contractor guidance and support necessary to remediate the spill. Mr. Lux will then contact the following authorities, as necessary:

  • Federal o National Response Center: (800) 424-8802 or (202) 267-2675 o EPA (Region 6) 24-hour Emergency Response Center: (866) 3 72-7745
  • State o Oklahoma DEQ, Environmental Complaints Program: (800) 522-0206 Additionally, a written description of the release must be submitted to the permitting authorities within 7 calendar days of knowledge of the release. The written description must include:
  • Description of the release, including the date of the release, the type of material, and the estimated quantity of the spill.
  • Circumstances leading up to the release
  • Description of the steps taken to prevent and control future releases CERT 7-3 Burns & McDonnell

Except as provided in Part 2.1.4 of this permit, prior to NOI submittal, develop a SWP3 covering either the entire site or all portions of the site where they are operators (as defined in Part 8.23) according to the requirements in this permit. A "joint" SWP3 may be developed and implemented as a cooperative effort where there is more than one operator at a site. You are required to submit a copy of your complete SWP3 to DEQ for review if your discharges meet the special conditions listed in Part 2.4 of the permit. If your discharges do not meet the special conditions listed in Part 2.4 of the permit, you are not required to submit a copy of the SWP3 when you submit your NOL However, you may be required to submit an SWP3 for review upon request by DEQ.

C. Submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) available in Addendum B of this permit. Only one NOI need be submitted to cover all of the Operator's activities on a common plan of development or sale (e.g., you do not need to submit a separate NOi for each separate lot in a residential subdivision or for two separate buildings being constructed at a manufacturing facility, provided the SWP3 covers each area for which you are an operator).

The SWP3 must be implemented upon commencement of construction activities.

D. Pay the applicable application fee and annual permit fee established in OAC 252:606 OPDES Standards. An invoice of the permit fee due will be sent to you if the fee is not included with the NOI or upon your request.

E. Receive an authorization from DEQ. The fee must be received before the Operator's authorization can be issued.

1.3.2 Any new operator on site, including those who replace an operator who has previously obtained permit coverage, must submit an NOI to obtain permit coverage.

1.3 .3 Once authorization is issued by DEQ, you are authorized to discharge stormwater from construction activities under the terms and conditions of this permit. DEQ may deny coverage under this permit and requires submittal of an application for an individual OPDES permit based on a review of the NOI or other information (see Part 6.11 of this permit).

OKRl0 Page 5 1.4 Terminating Coverage 1.4.1 Permittees wishing to terminate coverage under this permit must submit a Notice of Termination (NOT) available in Addendum C of the permit. The permittee's authorization to discharge under this permit will be terminated when DEQ's termination letter has been issued. (see Part 2.2 of the Permit) 1.4.2 All permittees must submit an NOT within 30 days after one or more of the following conditions have been met:

A. Final stabilization (as defined in Part 8.31 of this Permit) has been achieved on all portions of the site for which the permittee is responsible (including, if applicable, returning agricultural land to its pre-construction agricultural use);

B. For residential subdivision only: final stabilization has been completed and the ownership of all lots has been transferred to new owners and the permittee is no longer responsible for the construction activities for the subdivision. A Notification of Change of Ownership (NCO) has been signed, and included in the SWP3 (see also Parts 2.2 of this Permit); and C. When another operator has assumed control according to Part 6.7.3 over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized. The NOT must be submitted with the new operator's NOi; 1.4.3 DEQ will review NOTs for completeness and accuracy and inspect the site for which the NOT was submitted within 30 days of receipt of the NOT.

Upon completing the inspection, DEQ will notify the permittee of any needed changes to the site conditions, or that the site has met the termination requirements under this permit. Only one NOT Form can be submitted to DEQ within a 90-day period. Additional compliance inspections may occur within this 90-day period at the discretion of DEQ.

Part 2 NOi and NOT Requirements 2.1 NOi Requirements

2. 1. 1 Operators Parties defined as operators (as defined in Part 8.23 of this Permit) due to their operational control over construction plans and specifications, including the ability to make modifications to those plans and specifications and/or operators with day-to-day operational control over construction activities at a project, must ensure that they are in compliance with all permit conditions, including their SWP3s and receive authorization from DEQ prior to the commencement of construction activities (i.e., the initial disturbance of soils associated with clearing, grading, excavation activities, or other construction activities).

3 .2.2 SWP3 Requirements The SWP3 required under this permit must be modified within 14 calendar days of knowledge of the release to provide a description of the release, the circumstances leading to the release, and the date of the release.

In addition, the plan must be reviewed to identify measures to prevent the reoccurrence of such releases and to respond to such releases, and the plan must be modified where appropriate.

3.3 Non-Numeric Technology Based Effluent Limitations The stormwater control requirements in this part are the non-numeric technology-based effluent limitations that apply to all discharges from construction sites eligible for coverage under this permit. These requirements apply the national effluent limitations guidelines and new source performance standards found at 40 CFR Part 450.21 3.3.1 Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements You must design, install and maintain effective erosion and sediment controls that minimize the discharge of pollutants from construction activities. To meet this requirement, you must comply with the following requirements:

  • Area of Disturbance. You are required to minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activities. You are also subject to the deadlines for temporarily and/or permanently stabilizing exposed portions of your site pursuant to Part 3 .3 .2 of this permit.
  • Design Requirements. You must address the following factors in designing your stormwater controls:
1. The expected amount, frequency, intensity, and duration of precipitation;
11. Stormwater volume and velocity must be controlled to minimize soil erosion and pollutant discharges; iii. The nature of stormwater runoff and run-on at the site, including factors such as expected flow from impervious surfaces, slopes, and site drainage features. You must design stormwater controls to control both peak tlowrates and total stormwater volume to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in the immediate vicinity of outlets; and 1v. Soil characteristics, including the range of soil particle sizes expected to be present on the site.

You must also meet the following requirements of erosion and sediment controls:

A. Direct discharges from your stormwater controls to vegetated areas. Direct discharges from your stormwater controls to vegetated areas of your site to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater

OK.RIO Page 10 infiltration to reduce pollutant discharges, including any natural buffers established under Parts 1.2.2.E and 3.3.1.B, unless infeasible. Use velocity dissipation devices if necessary to prevent erosion when directing stormwater to vegetated areas.

B. Provide and Maintain Natural Buffers and Equivalent Erosion and Sediment Controls. When any waters of the State are located on or immediately adjacent to the site, you must maintain at least 50 feet of natural buffer zone, as measured from the top of the bank to disturbed portions of your site, from any named or unnamed receiving streams, creeks, rivers, lakes or other water bodies unless 100 feet of natural buffer is required by Part 1.2.2.E. There are exceptions from this requirement for water crossings, limited water access, and stream restoration authorized under a CW A Section 404 permit. 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 are not required to comply with the requirements in this part, unless you will remove portions of the preexisting development (for exceptions also see Part H.3 of Addendum H).

Where some natural buffer exists but portions of the area within 50 feet of the surface water are occupied by preexisting development disturbances, you may refer to Addendum H for sediment control alternatives.

Additionally, this requirement is not intended to interfere with any other ordinance, or regulation, statute or other provision of the law.

C. Install Perimeter Controls. Install sediment controls along those perimeter areas of your site that will receive stormwater from earth-disturbing activities. Examples of perimeter controls include, but are not limited to filter berms, silt fences, fiber rolls, compost socks, silt dikes, vegetative strips and temporary diversion dikes.

For linear construction sites where perimeter controls are infeasible (e.g., due to a limited or restricted rights-of-way), you must maximize the use of other controls as necessary to minimize pollutant discharges to perimeter areas of the site and document in your SWP3 why it is impracticable in other areas of the project.

Remove sediment before it has accumulated to one-half of the above-ground height of any perimeter control.

D. Minimize Sediment Track-Out. You must minimize the sediment track-out onto streets, other paved areas, and sidewalks from vehicles exiting your construction site. To comply with this requirement, you must:

1. Restrict vehicle use to properly designated exit points 2 . Use appropriate stabilization techniques at all points that exit onto paved roads. Example of appropriate stabilization techniques include, but are not limited to, use of aggregate stone with an underlying geotextile or non-woven filter fabric, and turf mats.
3. Stabilization is not required for exit points at linear utility construction sites if other controls at the exit point are provided to minimize sediment track-out. Example of other exit controls include, but are not limited to, preventing the use of exit points during wet periods; minimizing exit point use by keeping vehicles on site to the extent possible; limiting exit size to the width needed for vehicle and equipment usage; using scarifying and compaction techniques on the soil; and avoiding establishing exit points in environmentally sensitive areas;
4. Implement additional track-out controls as necessary to ensure that sediment removal occurs prior to vehicle exit; examples of additional track-out controls include, but are not limited to, use of wheel washing, rumble strips, and rattle plates and
5. Where sediment has been tracked-out from your site onto the surface of paved street, sidewalks or other paved areas outside of your site, you must remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which the track-out occurs or by the end of the next work day if track-out occurs on a non-work day. You must remove the track-out by sweeping, shoveling, or vacuuming these surfaces, or by using other similarly effective means of sediment removal. You are prohibited from hosing or sweeping tracked-out sediment into any storm water conveyance ( unless it is connected to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), storm drain inlet, or surface waters of the State.

E. Control Discharges from Stockpiled Sediment or Soil. For any stockpiles or land clearing debris composed in whole of sediment or soil, you must comply with the following requirements:

OKRl0 Page 11

1. Locate the piles outside of any natural buffers established under Parts 1.2.2.E or 3.3.1.B and physically separated from any stormwater conveyances, drain inlets, and area where stormwater flow is concentrated;
2. Install a sediment barrier along all downgradient perimeter areas. Examples of sediment barriers include, but are not limited to, berms, dikes, fiber rolls, silt fences, sandbags, and gravel bags;
3. Provide cover or appropriate temporary stabilization to avoid direct contact with precipitation or to minimize sediment discharge in accordance with Part 3.3.2 of this permit. Examples of cover include tarps, blown straw and hydro-seeding;
4. Do not hose down or sweep soil or sediment accumulated on pavement or other impervious surfaces into any storm water conveyance ( unless connected to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), storm drain inlet, or surface water; and
5. Unless infeasible, contain and securely protect from wind.

F. Minimize Dust. In order to avoid pollutants from being discharged into surface waters, to the extent feasible, you must minimize the generation of dust through the appropriate application of water or other dust suppression techniques.

G. Minimize the Disturbance of Steep Slopes. You must minimize the disturbance of steep slopes (i.e., slopes of 40% or greater). If it is not feasible to avoid disturbance of steep slopes, you must:

1. Divert concentrated or channelized flows of stormwater away from and around areas of disturbance on steep slopes;
2. Use specialized erosion and sediment controls for steep slopes, such as temporary and permanent seeding with soil binders, erosion control blankets, surface roughening, reducing the continuous slope length with terracing or diversions, gradient terraces, interceptor dikes and swales, grass-lined channels, pipe slope drains, subsurface drains, level spreaders, check dams, seep berms, and triangular silt dikes; and
3. Use stabilization practices designed to be used on steep slopes. You must comply with the stabilization requirements as required in Part 3 .3 .2 of this permit.

H. Preserve Topsoil. You must preserve native topsoil on your site, unless infeasible; you must stockpile and reuse it in areas that will be stabilized with vegetation if applicable.

I. Minimize Soil Compaction. In areas of your site where final vegetative stabilization will occur or where infiltration practices will be installed, you must either:

1. Restrict vehicle and equipment use in these locations to avoid soil compaction; or
2. Prior to seeding or planting areas of exposed soil that have been compacted, use techniques that condition the soils to support vegetative growth, if necessary.

J. Protect Storm Drain Inlets. If you discharge to any storm drain inlet that carries stormwater flow from your site directly to surface water (and it is not first directed to a sediment basin, sediment trap, or similarly effective control), and you have the authority to access the storm drain inlet, you must comply with . the following requirements:

1. Install inlet protection measures that remove sediment from your discharge prior to entry into the storm drain inlet.
2. Clean, or remove and replace, the protection measures as sediment accumulates, the filter becomes clogged, and/or performance is compromised. Where there is evidence of sediment accumulation adjacent to the inlet protection measure, you must remove the deposited sediment by the end of the same work day in which it is found or by the end of the following work day if removal by the same work day is not feasible.

K. Constructed Stormwater Conveyance Channels . Design channels to avoid unstabilized areas on the site and to reduce erosion, unless infeasible, and minimize erosion of channels and their embankments, outlets, adjacent streambanks, slopes, and downstream waters during discharge conditions through the use of erosion

OKR 10 Page 12 controls and velocity dissipation devices within and along the length of any constructed stormwater conveyance channel, and at any outlet to provide a non-erosive flow velocity. Examples of velocity dissipation devices include, but are not limited to, silt dikes, check dams, gravel bags, sediment traps, riprap, and grouted riprap at outlets.

L. Installed sediment basins. If you install a sediment basin, you must comply with the following:

1. Provide storage for either the calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm, or 3,600 cubic feet per acre drained;
2. When discharging from the sediment basin and impoundment, utilize outlet structures that withdraw water from the surface of the sediment basins in order to minimize the discharge of pollutants, unless infeasible;
3. Prevent erosion of the sediment basin using stabilization controls (e.g., erosion control blankets), and the inlet/outlet using erosion controls and velocity dissipation devices;
4. Sediment basins must be situated outside of surface waters and any natural buffers established under Parts 1.2.2.E and 3.3.1.B and
5. Remove accumulated sediment to maintain at least 1/2 the design capacity and conduct all other appropriate maintenance to ensure the basin or impoundment remains in effective operating condition.

M. Dewatering Practices. You are prohibited from discharging groundwater or accumulated stormwater that is removed from excavations, trenches, foundations, vaults, or other similar points of accumulation associated with a construction activity, unless such waters are first effectively managed by appropriate controls.

Examples of appropriate controls include, but are not limited to, sediment basins or sediment traps, sediment socks, dewatering tanks, tube settlers, weir tanks, filtration systems (e.g., bag or sand filters), and passive treatment systems that are designed to remove sediment. Appropriate controls to use downstream of dewatering controls to minimize erosion include, but are not limited to, vegetated buffers, check dams, riprap, and grouted riprap at outlets. Uncontaminated clear dewatering water can be discharged without being routed to a control. You must also meet the following requirements for dewatering activities:

1. Do not discharge visible floating solids or foam;
2. Use an oil-water separator or suitable filtration device (such as a cartridge filter) that is designed to remove oil, grease, or other products if dewatering wastewater is found to contain these materials;
3. To the extent feasible, utilize vegetated, upland areas of the site to infiltrate dewatering water before discharge. In no case will surface waters be considered part of the treatment area;
4. At all points where dewatering water is discharged, comply with the velocity dissipation requirements of Part 3.3.1.K;
5. With backwash water, either haul away for disposal or return it to the beginning of the treatment process; and
6. Replace and clean the filter media used in dewatering devices when the pressure differential equals or exceeds the manufacturer's specifications.

3 .3 .2 Stabilization Requirements Implement and maintain stabilization measures to minimize erosion from exposed portions of your site in accordance with Part 3.3.2.A of this part.

A. Stabilization Deadlines

1. Initiate the installation of stabilization measures immediately in any disturbed areas where construction activities have permanently ceased on any portion of the site or will be temporarily inactive for 14 or more calendar days on any portion of the site.

The term "immediately" is used to define the deadline for initiating stabilization measures. In the context of this provision, "immediately" means as soon as practicable, but no later than the end of the

OKRl0 Page 13 next work day, following the day when the earth-disturbing activities have temporarily or permanently ceased.

2. Complete the installation of stabilization measures as soon as practicable, but no later than 14 calendar days after stabilization measures has been initiated, or 7 calendar days if you discharge to an impaired water, or ORW, or ARC (see Part 3.3 .2.A.2.c.):
a. For vegetative stabilization, all activities necessary to initially seed or plant the area to be stabilized; and/or
b. For non-vegetative stabilization, the installation or application of all such non-vegetative measures to provide effective cover.
c. If you discharge to an impaired water, or Outstanding Resource Water (ORW), or ARC, you are required to complete the stabilization activities specified in Parts 3.3.2.A.2.a and b within 7 calendar days after the temporarily or permanent cessation of earth-disturbing activities.

B. Stabilization Criteria

1. If you use vegetative cover to stabilize an exposed portion of your site for temporary and final stabilization (also see Part 8.31 Definitions of Temporary and Final Stabilization), you must comply with one of the following criteria:
a. Established uniform perennial vegetation (i.e., evenly distributed without large bare areas\ that provides 70% or more of the cover that is provided by vegetation native to local undisturbed areas.

When background vegetation covered less than 100% of the ground prior to commencing earth-disturbing activities, the 70% coverage criteria is adjusted as in following example: if vegetation covered 50% of the ground prior to construction, then the requirement would be to provide a total vegetative cover at final stabilization of70% of 50% (0.70 X 0.50 = 0.35), or 35% of the site.

b. Immediately after seeding or planting the area to be stabilized, to the extent necessary to prevent erosion on the seeded or planted area, you must select, design, and install non-vegetative stabilization measures to provide effective cover to the area while vegetation is becoming established. Examples of non-vegetative stabilization measures include, but are not limited to riprap and gravel.
2. If you are using non-vegetative controls ( e.g., hydro-mulch, erosion control blankets, riprap, geotextiles, and gabions) to stabilize exposed portions of your site, or if you are using such controls to temporarily protect areas that are being seeded and planted, you must provide effective non-vegetative cover to stabilize such exposed portions of your site.

3.3.3 Pollution Prevention Requirements You are required to design, install, implement and maintain effective pollution prevention measures in order to minimize or prevent the discharge of pollutants. To meet this requirement, you must:

  • Eliminate certain pollutant discharges from your site (see Part 3.3.3.A of this part);
  • Properly maintain all pollution prevention controls (see Part 3.3.3.B of this part); and
  • Comply with pollution prevention standards for pollutant-generating activities that occur at your site (see Part 3.3.3.B of this part).

A. Prohibited Discharges. You are prohibited from discharging the following from your construction site:

2. Wastewater from the washout and cleanout of stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other construction materials, unless managed by an appropriate control as described in Part 3.3.3.B.4; 3

Large bare area is defined as an area with 10 ft:2 or more with no perennial vegetative cover established

OKRI0 Page 14

3. Fuels, oils, or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance;
4. Soaps, detergents or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing; and
5. Toxic or hazardous substances from a spill or other release.

B. Maintenance Requirements. You must ensure that all pollution prevention controls installed in accordance with this part remain in effective operating condition and are protected from activities that would reduce their effectiveness. You must inspect all pollutant-generating activities and pollution prevention controls in accordance with your inspection frequency requirements (see Part 4.3.13.B) and document your findings in accordance with Part 4.3.13.E. If you find that controls need to be replaced, repaired, or maintained, you must make the necessary repairs or modifications in accordance with the following:

1. General Maintenance Requirements: You must initiate work to fix the problem immediately after discovering the problem, and complete such work by the close of the next work day, if the problem does not require significant repair or replacement, or if the problem can be corrected through routine maintenance.
2. Washing of Equipment or Vehicles
a. You must provide an effective means of minimizing the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing, wheel wash water, and other types of washing prior to discharges. Examples of "effective means" include, but are not limited to, locating activities away from waters of the State and stormwater inlets or conveyances and directing wash waters to a sediment basin or sediment trap, using filtration devices, such as filter bags or sand filters, or using other similarly effective controls;
b. Ensure there is no discharge of soaps, detergents, or solvents in equipment and vehicle wash water.

For storage of soaps, detergents or solvents, you must provide either cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent these materials from coming into contact with rainwater, or a similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these areas.

3. Storage, Handling, and Disposal of Construction Products, Materials and Wastes. You must minimize the exposure to precipitation and stormwater of any of the products, materials, or wastes specified below that are present at your site by complying with the requirements in this Part. To ensure you meet this requirement, you must:
a. For building products: In storage areas, provide either cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent these products from coming into contact with rainwater, or a similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these areas.
b. For pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers, and landscape materials:

(1) In storage areas, provide either cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent these chemicals from coming into contact with rainwater, or a similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these areas; and (2) Comply with all application and disposal requirements included on the registered pesticide, herbicide, insecticide, and fertilizer label.

c. For diesel fuel, oil, hydraulic fluids, other petroleum products, and other chemicals:

(1) To comply with the prohibition in Part 3.3.3.A.3 store chemicals in water-tight containers, and provide either cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent these containers from coming into contact with rainwater, or a similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these areas (e.g., spill kits), or provide secondary containment (e.g.,

spill berms, decks, spill containment pallets); and (2) Clean up spills immediately, using dry clean-up methods where possible, and dispose of used materials properly. Do not clean surfaces or spills by hosing the area down. Eliminate the source of the spill to prevent a discharge or a continuation of an ongoing discharge.

OKR10 Page 15

d. For hazardous or toxic waste (e.g., paints, caulks, sealants, fluorescent light ballasts, solvents, petroleum-based products, wood preservatives, additives, curing compounds, and acids):

( 1) Separate hazardous or toxic waste from construction and domestic waste; (2) Store waste in sealed containers, which are constructed of suitable materials to prevent leakage and corrosion, and which are labeled in accordance with applicable Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements and all other applicable federal, state, or local requirements; (3) Store all containers that will be stored outside within appropriately-sized secondary containment (e.g., spill berms, decks, spill containment pallets) to prevent spills from being discharged, or provide a similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these areas (e.g., storing chemicals in covered areas or having a spill kit available on site);

(4) Dispose of hazardous or toxic waste in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended methods of disposal and in compliance with federal, state, and local requirements; and (5) Clean up spills immediately, using dry clean-up methods where possible, and dispose of used materials properly. Do not clean surfaces or spills by hosing the area down. Eliminate the source of the spill to prevent a discharge or a furtherance of an ongoing discharge.

e. For construction and domestic waste (e.g., packaging materials, scrap construction materials ,

masonry products, timber, pipe and electrical cuttings, plastics, styrofoam, concrete, and other trash or building materials): Provide waste containers (e.g., dumpster or trash receptacle) of sufficient size and number to contain construction and domestic wastes. In addition, you must:

( 1) Keep waste container lids closed during precipitation event when not in use, when there is a significant chance of precipitation (forecasted), and/or the site is inactive or work is not in progress. Waste containers must be covered at the end of daily work shifts and when workers are not present. For waste containers that do not have lids and could leak, provide either (a) cover (e.g., a tarp, plastic sheeting, temporary roof) to minimize exposure of wastes to precipitation, or (b) a similarly effective means designed to minimize the discharge of pollutants (e.g., secondary containment);

(2) On work days, clean up and dispose of waste in designated waste containers; and (3) Clean up immediately if containers overflow.

f. For sanitary waste: Position portable toilets so that they are secure and will not be tipped or knocked over and located away from water of the State and stormwater inlets or conveyances.
4. Washing of Applicators and Containers Used for Paint, Concrete, or Other Materials. To comply with the prohibition in Parts 3 .3 .3 .A. I and 2, you must provide an effective means of eliminating the discharge of water from the washout and cleanout of stucco, paint, concrete, form release oils, curing compounds, and other construction materials. To comply with this requirement, you must:

OKRI0 Page 16

c. Locate any washout or cleanout acttv1t1es as far away as possible from surface waters and stormwater inlets or conveyances, and, to the extent practicable, designate areas to be used for these activities and conduct such activities only in these areas.

C. Emergency Spill Notification. You are prohibited from discharging toxic or hazardous substances from a spill or other release, consistent with Part 3.3.3.A.5 of this part. 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 established under either 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, or 302 occurs during a 24-hour period, you must notify the NRC at (800) 424-8802 or, in the areas of Oklahoma, call the DEQ's Hotline at (800)522-0206 as soon as you have knowledge of the discharge. You must also, within 7 calendar days of knowledge of the release, provide a description of the release, the circumstances leading to the release, and the date of the release.

Local requirements may necessitate additional reporting of spills or discharges to local emergency response, public health, or drinking water supply agencies.

D. Fertilizer Discharge Restrictions. You are required to minimize discharges of fertilizers containing nitrogen or phosphorus. To meet this requirement, you must comply with the following requirements:

1. Apply at a rate and in amounts consistent with manufacturer's specifications, or document departures from the manufacturer' s specifications;

3.4 Numeric Technology-Based Effluent Limitation 3.4.1. Numeric Effluent Limitation and Monitoring Requirements for Asphalt Batch Plants If you have discharges of stormwater from asphalt batch plants, you must comply with the limitations and monitoring requirements required in Addendum F of this permit. The numeri~ ~mu~nl limilaliuns in following Table 3.1 apply to stormwater discharges associated with any activities for asphalt batch plants, not for concrete batch plants.

TABLE 3.1 NUMERIC EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS FOR ASPHALT BATCH PLANTS Parameter Limitation Monitoring Frequency Sample Type Total Suspended Solids 23 mg/I, daily max. I /year Grab (TSS) 15 mg/I, 30-day avg.

Oil and Grease 15 mg/I, daily max. I/year Grab 10 mg/I, 30-day avg.

pH 6.5-9.0 s.u. I/year Grab If the project lasts less than one year, you must collect at least one sample. Also you must comply with quarterly visual monitoring and annual numeric effluent limitation monitoring and document those results as specified in your SWP3 (see Addendum F of this permit).

Monitoring for compliance with the above numeric effluent limitations must be conducted in accordance with test procedures approved in 40 CFR Part 136, and samples must be analyzed by an accredited laboratory in accordance with OAC 252:301. Where more than one test procedure is approved for the analysis of a pollutant or pollutant parameter, the test procedure must be sufficiently sensitive to meet the minimum quantification levels (MQLs) established in OAC 252:690 or, where an MQL has not been established in OAC 252:690, to quantify the amount of pollutant present at or below the level of the above numeric effluent limitations.

OKRI0 Page 17 3.5 Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations Your stormwater discharges must be controlled as necessary to meet applicable water quality standards. Operators seeking coverage under this permit shall not cause or have the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to a violation of a water quality standard. Where a discharge is already authorized under this permit and is later determined to cause or have the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to the violation of an applicable water quality standard, DEQ will notify the operator of such violation(s). The permittee shall take all necessary actions to ensure future discharges do not cause, have the reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to the violation of a water quality standard and document these actions in the SWP3. If violations remain or re-occur, then coverage under this permit may be terminated by DEQ, and an alternative general permit or individual permit may be issued.

Compliance with this requirement does not preclude any enforcement activity as provided by the Clean Water Act (CW A) for the underlying violation. If such violation is determined, DEQ may require you to:

  • Develop a supplemental BMP action plan describing SWP3 modifications in accordance with Part 4.1.4 to address adequately the identified water quality concerns;
  • Submit valid and verifiable data and information that are representative of ambient conditions and indicate that the receiving water is attaining water quality standards; or
  • Cease discharges of pollutants from construction activity and submit an alternative general permit or individual permit application.

3 .5 .1 Discharges to Waters Identified as Impaired Waters If you discharge to impaired water that is impaired for Sediment and/or Turbidity within 1 mile, you are required to comply with the additional requirements in this part.

A. Identify whether you discharge to one or more waterbodies impaired for sediment and/or turbidity. If you discharge to impaired waters, you must indicate so in your NOI and comply with the following requirements in Parts 3 .5. l .B, C. and D of this part. If you indicate in your NOI that you do not discharge to impaired water, DEQ may determine, based on additional information, that you are considered to be discharging to an impaired water. If this is the case, you will be notified of DEQ's determination, and be provided with an opportunity to comply with additional requirements as a condition of your permit coverage, consistent with Part 3 .5 .1.

B. Site inspection requirements. You are required to comply with the following modified inspection requirements:

You must conduct site inspections once every 7 calendar days at a minimum, 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 or within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a discharge caused by snowmelt; C. Corrective actions. If the inspection or visual examination results indicate any permit violations, you must implement the corrective actions required in Part 4.3 .14. However, a violation would result if you fail to implement the required corrective actions. If you are subject to the numeric limit in Part 3 .4 (Table 3 .1 for asphalt batch plant) you must implement the monitoring requirement according to Addendum F of this permit. If your sample results indicate that you have exceeded the numeric limit, you must implement the corrective actions according to Part 4.3.14.

D. Stabilization requirements. You are required to comply with the following modified stabilization requirements:

You are required to comply with the stabilization requirements as specified in Parts 3 .3 .2.A. l and 2 within 7 calendar days after the temporary or permanent cessation of earth-disturbing activities.

3.5.2 Discharges to waters identified as an ORW or ARC If you discharge to waters identified as ORW (see Addendum E of this permit) or your sites are located within areas identified as an ARC and you are relying on option b in Part 1.2.2.E.2 (see Part 10 and Addendum A of this permit), you must implement inspections, corrective actions and stabilization requirements provided in Part 3.5.1 above. Also you must comply with the following additional requirements:

OKRI0 Page 18 A. In order to minimize sediment discharges, if any OR W or ARC is located on or immediately adjacent to your site, you must ensure that a vegetated buffer zone of at least 100 feet is retained or successfully established/planted between the area disturbed and all perennial or intermittent streams. A vegetated buffer zone of at least 50 feet must be retained or successfully established/planted between the areas disturbed during construction and all ephemeral streams or drainages. If the nature of the construction activity or the construction site makes a buffer impossible, you must provide equivalent controls. See Addendum H of this permit for information to assist you in developing equivalent controls.

B. For drainage locations serving 5 or more acres disturbed at one time, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin and/or sediment traps shall be used to minimize sediment discharges within the areas of the OR W or ARC. You may use the information in Parts 3.3.1.L and 4.3.1 l.A.4 to assist you in complying with this requirement.

For common drainage locations that serve an area with 5 or more acres disturbed at one time, 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 overall storage of 3,600 cubic feet of 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(s).

In determining whether installing a sediment basin(s) is attainable, you may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available area on site, etc. In any event, you 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 5 or more disturbed acres at one time and where a temporary sediment basin(s) or equivalent controls are not attainable, smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps should be used. Where neither the sediment basin(s) 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.

C. For any portion of the site that discharges to an ORW or ARC, instead of the inspection frequency specified in Part 4.3 .13 .B, 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 the occurrence of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater.

D. For initiating and completing stabilization, you are required to complete the stabilization activities within 7 calendar days after the temporary or permanent cessation of earth-disturbing activities.

3.6 Responsibilities of Operators Permittees may meet one or both of the operational control components iri the definition of "operator" found in Part 8.23 of this permit. Either Parts 3 .6.1 or 2 or both will apply depending on the type of operational controls exerted by an individual permittee.

3.6.1 Operational Control over Construction Plans and Specifications If you have operational control over construction plans and specifications, including the ability to make modifications to those plans and specifications (e.g., developer, owner, or operator), you must ensure that:

A. The project specifications meet the minimum requirements of Part 4 and all other applicable permit conditions of this permit; B. The SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where you have operational control over project specifications (including the ability to make modifications in specifications), and ensure all other permittees implementing portions of the S WP3 who may be impacted by any changes to the plan are notified of such modifications in a timely manner; and

OKRIO Page 19 C. The SWP3 for portions of the project where you are the operator indicates the name and DEQ permit number for parties with day-to-day operational control of those activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWP3 or other permit conditions. If these parties have not been identified at the time the SWP3 is initially developed, the permittee with operational control over project specifications shall be considered to be the responsible party until such time as the authority is transferred to another party (e.g., general contractor) and the plan updated.

3.6.2 Operational Control over Day-to-Day Activities If you have operational control over day-to-day activities, you must ensure that:

A. The SWP3 for portions of the project where you are the operator meets the minimum requirements of Part 4 of this permit and identifies the parties responsible for implementation of control measures; B. The SWP3 indicates areas of the project where you have operational control over day-to-day activities; and.

C. The SWP3 for portions of the project where you are the operator indicates the names and their permit numbers of the parties with operational control over project specifications (including the ability to make modifications in specifications).

3 .6.3 Responsibilities of Operators at a Larger Common Plan of Development The criteria within the definition of "Operator" allow for more than one entity to be active at a construction site that is considered a larger common plan of development. For example, the developer and one or more builders may be engaged in construction activity within a residential subdivision at the same time, and any or all may be considered operators as defined by this permit. Where it is determined to be more efficient or desirable, this permit allows for all construction activities at a larger common plan of development to be covered by a single permit and the SWP3 held by a "Primary Operator", usually the developer.

For the purposes of this provision, "Primary Operator" for a construction project that has more than one operator means an operator who has chosen to obtain coverage under this permit for all discharges from all earth-disturbing activities at a construction site that is considered to be a larger common plan of development even if such discharges originate from portions of the site operated by another entity, such as a builder or utility contractor.

For the purposes of this provision, "Secondary Operator" for a construction project that has more than one operator means an operator who has elected to have the discharges from earth-disturbing activities on a portion of a larger common plan of development to which he/she has operational control covered by the permit and SWP3 held by the Primary Operator rather than obtaining separate permit coverage for those discharges. If an operator who may be considered a Secondary Operator under this provision elects not to have their discharges from earth-disturbing activities covered by the Primary Operator's permit, this operator must obtain separate permit coverage.

A. Responsibilities of the Primary Operator. The Primary Operator is ultimately responsible for the runoff from the perimeter of the development. Regardless of the reason for the runoff, the Primary Operator is responsible for ensuring sufficient overall controls for the development. The Primary Operator is responsible for obtaining permit coverage for the development and for developing and maintaining an SWP3 for the development. The Primary Operator shall identify all Secondary Operators in the SWP3 and identify the specific areas of the development where they will be active. The Primary Operator shall ensure that Secondary Operators are aware of all SWP3 requirements, BMPs and other control measures that apply to their operations. Contractor Certifications (Part 4.4 of this permit) or similar written instruments should be used to document this notification. The Primary Operator shall not terminate permit coverage until at least one of the following conditions has been met:

1. All construction, including landscaping and lot development, has been completed, and final stabilization has been achieved.
2. All lots are sold and developed, and there are no temporary common controls for subdivision outfalls, i.e. sediment basins, large sediment traps, check dams, etc.

OKRI0 Page 20

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:

If applicable, sampling locations if the project is subject to the Part 3.4.1 numeric technology-based limitations for asphalt batch plants. Also indicate the sampling location(s) and all discharge points, and indicate which discharge points are considered "substantially identical".

4.3 .6 Construction Site Pollutants Identify and list all pollutants ( e.g., sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, paints, caulks, sealants, fluorescent light ballasts, contaminated substrates, solvents, fuels) and all pollutant-generating activities associated with those pollutants. You must take into account where potential spills and leaks could occur that contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges, and any known hazardous or toxic substances, such as PCBs and asbestos, which will be disturbed or removed during construction.

4.3.7 A Copy of the Permit Requirements Include a copy of this permit and signed NOI in your SWP3. Do not submit it to DEQ if you are required to submit your SWP3 for DEQ's review (see Part 2.4 of this permit).

4.3.8 Measures to Protect ARC and ORW Include information on whether listed endangered or threatened species or critical habitat are found in proximity to the construction activity, and whether such species may be affected by the stormwater discharges or stormwater discharge-related activities (see Addendum A and Parts 1.2.2.E and 10 of this permit) and on whether discharge to waters identified as ORW (see Addendum E). If your site discharges into the area identified as ARC and ORW, you must describe and implement the measures specified in Part 3.5.2 necessary to protect these endangered species and threatened habitat and resource waters in the SWP3, including any equivalent sediment controls specified in Addendum H (Buffer Requirements).

4.3.9 Federal, State or Local Historic Properties Include documentation required in Part 9 of this permit.

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.

D. Requirements for Inspections.

1. Areas that need to be inspected. During your site inspection, you must at a minimum inspect the following areas of your site:

Owned and operated by a state, city, town, borough, county, parish, district, association, or other public body (created by or pursuant to state law) having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or other wastes, including special districts under State law such as a sewer district, flood control district or drainage district, or similar entity, or an Indian tribe or an authorized Indian tribal organization, or a designated and approved management agency under section 208 of the CWA that discharges to waters of the United States;
b. Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater;
c. Which is not a combined sewer; and
d. Which is not part of a Public Owned Treatment Works (POTW) as defined at 40 CFR § 122.2.

Note: A Phase II MS4 can also be owned or operated by Federal and State government, such as systems at military bases, large hospital or prison complexes, and highways and other thoroughfares. [see 40 CFR § 122.26(b)(l6)]

20. Non-Process Water means utility wastewaters (e.g., water treatment residuals, boiler blowdown, and air pollution control wastewaters from heat recovery equipment); treated or untreated wastewaters from groundwater remediation systems; dewatering water for building foundations; and other wastewater streams not associated with a production process.
21. NOi means Notice of Intent, (DEQ Form 606-002A, and see Part 2 of this permit.)
22. NOT means Notice of Termination (DEQ Form 606-003, and see Part 2 of this permit).
23. Operator for the purpose of this permit and in the context of stormwater associated with construction activity, means any party defined in 20.a orb, associated with a construction project that meets either of the following two criteria:
a. The party has operational control over construction plans and specifications, including the ability to make modifications to those plans and specifications (e.g. in most cases this is the owner of the site); or
b. The party has day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project that are necessary to ensure compliance with a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) for the site or other permit conditions (e.g.,

they are authorized to direct workers at a site to carry out activities required by the SWP3 or comply with other permit conditions; in most cases this is the general contractor of the project).

In addition, "owner" refers to the party that owns the structure being built. Ownership of the land where construction is occurring does not necessarily imply the property owner is an operator (e.g., a landowner whose property is being disturbed by construction of a gas pipeline or a landowner who allows a mining company to remove dirt, shale, clay, sand, gravel, etc. from a portion of his property).

OKRl0 Page 38 This definition is provided to inform permittees of DEQ's interpretation of how the regulatory definitions of "operator" and "facility or activity" are applied to discharges of stormwater associated with construction activity.

24. OPDES means the Oklahoma Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
25. Outstanding Resource Waters means those waters of the State which are designated as such in Oklahoma's Water Quality Standards OAC 785:45-5-25, Addendum A of this permit.
26. Permit means the General Permit OKRl O for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities within the State of Oklahoma.
27. Permittee means a person who has submitted an NOI and has received authorization to discharge stormwater from construction or land disturbing activities under this permit.
28. Point Source means any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including but are not limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, landfill leachate collection system, or vessel or other floating craft, from which pollutants or wastes are or may be discharged. This term does not include return flows from irrigated agriculture or agricultural stormwater runoff.
29. Pollutant means any material, substance, or property which may cause pollution (e.g., dredged spoil, solid waste, sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials, heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, and industrial or municipal waste).
30. Runoff Coefficient means the fraction of total rainfall that will appear at the conveyance as runoff.
31. Stabilization is the process of covering exposed ground surfaces with vegetative or non-vegetative practices that reduce erosion and prevent sediment discharge from occurring.
  • "Temporary stabilization" refers to the stabilization of exposed portions of the site in order to provide temporary cover (1) during the establishment and growth of vegetation, and/or (2) in areas where earth-disturbing activities will occur again in the future.
  • "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:

A. A uniform (e.g., evenly distributed, without large bare areas 5) perennial vegetative cover with a 70% or more of the cover that is provided by vegetation native to local undisturbed areas; and/or B. Equivalent permanent non-vegetative stabilization measures to provide effective cover (such as the use of riprap and gravel).

30.2. For individual lots in residential construction, either of the following criteria is met:

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.

5 Large bare area is defined as an area with IO ft 2 or more with no perennial vegetative cover established

OKRI O Page 39

33. Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity is defined at 40 CFR 122.26 (b) (14) & (15) and incorporated here by reference. 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. Provided, waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet federal and state requirement other than cooling ponds as defined in the Clean Water Act or rules promulgated thereto and prior converted cropland are not waters of the State.

(as defined in Oklahoma Statutes§ 27A O.S. §1-1-201).

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:

State Historic Preservation Office Oklahoma Historical Society 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive Oklahoma City, OK 73105 (405)521-6249 www.okhistory.org/shpo/shpom.htm Oklahoma Archeological Survey 111 East Chesapeake Norman, OK 73019 405/325-7211 www.ou.edu/cas/archsur

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 have been completed and a uniform (e.g., evenly distributed, without large bare areas 6 ) 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

Large bare area is defined as an area with 10 ft 2 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.

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.

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 .

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 %

Best Management Practices Defined:

  • Fescue: Buffer strip (100 feet or 50 feet) at the end of the overland flow path ofFescue grass, the area has not been grazed
  • Grama Grass: Buffer strip (100 feet or 50 feet) at the end of the overland flow path of Grama grass, at least the third year after seeding
  • Range Grass: Buffer zone (100 feet or 50 feet) at the end of the overland flow path of a generic low production range grass
  • Weeds: Buffer zone (100 feet or 50 feet) at the end of the overland flow path of at least 5 years of growth of generic weeds started from volunteer germination
  • 12" Wattle: 12 inch straw sock or wattle installed at the base of the runoff area
  • 6" Wattle: 6 inch straw sock or wattle installed at the end of the overland flow path
  • Roll Material: Erosion control blanket placed over the disturbed area
