Mr.Kevin Neal - 2 - 15 May 2002 `B.1. Storm water discharges and authorized nonstorm water discharges to any surface or ground water shall not adversely impact human health or the environment." The inspection also found inadequate implementation of storm water Best Management Practices (BMPs) for erosion and sediment control. Failure to implement controls or BMPs in accordance with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP) is a violation of Special Provision C.2 which states, `All dischargers shall develop and implement a SWPPP in accordance with Section A: Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. The Discharger shall implement controls to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges from their construction sites to the BAT/BCT performance standard." Failure to implement BMPs on disturbed soil is a violation of Section A.7.1 which states, "All disturbed areas of the construction site must be stabilized." In addition,the discharge of sediments to surface waters or surface water drainage courses is a violation of Section A.8 which states, "At a minimum, the discharger/operator must implement an effective combination of erosion and sediment control on all disturbed areas during the rainy season." Furthermore, not conducting regular site inspections is a violation of Section A.11 and Section B.3,which state, "Inspections will be performed before and after storm events and once each 24-hour period during extended storm events to identify BMP effectiveness and implement repairs or design changes as soon as feasible depending upon field conditions." In response to this Notice of Violation (NOV), we expect you take the following corrective actions: 1. Implement the SWPPP immediately. Make the SWPPP available at the construction site at all times. 2. Inspect the site before each anticipated storm event, during an extended storm event, and after each storm event to ascertain that BMPs are being effective in controlling the discharge of sediment and construction materials into surface water or surface water drainage courses.However, inspection should not be limited to the wet season.You are required to implement the SWPPP year round until we issue a notice of termination for the site. Inspection reports must be included in the SWPPP and retained for at least three years or until the site receives a notice of termination,whichever comes first; 3. Ensure that all disturbed soil, slopes, roadways, and creek banks are completely stabilized; 4. Ensure that soil,waste, and construction material piles have adequate controls and are prevented from being discharged to surface water or surface water drainage courses; and
