Contractor shall: <br /> Ensure that a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) perform or supervise all maintenance, <br />inspection and repair activities relating to construction storm water BMPs. <br /> Perform and document quarterly inspections of the entire job site for the presence of <br />unauthorized and authorized non-storm water discharges and their sources. <br /> Perform weekly inspections and at least once each 24-hour period during an extended storm <br />event in order to identify and record BMPs that need maintenance to operate effectively, <br />that have failed, or that could fail. <br /> Prior to each qualifying rain event, visually inspect all stormwater drainage areas for spills, <br />leaks, uncontrolled pollutant areas, poor BMP implementation, etc. and execute the proper <br />corrective measures. <br /> Visually inspect storm water discharges at all discharge locations within two business days <br />(48 hours) after each qualifying rain event. <br /> Visually inspect the discharge of stored or contained storm water after a rain event with <br />precipitation of ½ inch or greater (the qualifying rain event). <br /> Record the time, date and rain gauge readings for all qualifying events. <br /> <br />Maintain on-site records of all inspections (locations, personnel, corrective actions, etc.) <br />Exemptions to these visual inspection requirements are during dangerous weather conditions <br />(flooding, electrical storms, etc.) and outside normal business hours. An explanation of these events <br />shall be placed in this SWPPP and the Annual Report as to why inspections were not conducted. <br />Sample visual inspection logs are included in Appendix H and the inspection logs shall logged in <br />Appendix H. <br />SECTION 7.6 - WATER QUALITY SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS <br />The contractor is required to monitor runoff for non-visible pollutants in the event of a BMP <br />failure, breach, or spill. An area unaffected by the failure, breach, or spill must also be sampled to <br />serve as a basis of comparison. All sampling and analysis shall be reported directly onto the <br />SMARTS website (http://smarts.waterboards.ca.gov/smarts/faces/SwSmartsLogin.jsp). <br />Hardcopies may be kept in AppendixH for back up.
