Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP
specification (see Volume 11 of the SWMMWW or Chapter 7 of the SWMMEW).
Visual monitoring of all BMPs installed at the site will be conducted at least once every calendar
week and within 24 hours of any stormwater or non-stormwater discharge from the site. If the
site becomes inactive and is temporarily stabilized, the inspection frequency may be reduced to
once every calendar month.
All temporary ESC BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after final site stabilization is
achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed.
Trapped sediment shall be stabilized on -site or removed. Disturbed soil resulting from removal
of either BMPs or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized.
Additionally, protection must be provided for all BMPs installed for the permanent control of
stormwater from sediment and compaction. BMPs that are to remain in place following
completion of construction shall be examined and restored to full operating condition. If
sediment enters these BMPs during construction, the sediment shall be removed and the facility
shall be returned to conditions specified in the construction documents.

4 Monitoring and Sampling Requirements
Monitoring includes visual inspection, sampling for water quality parameters of concern, and
documentation of the inspection and sampling findings in a site log book. A site log book will be
maintained for all on -site construction activities and will include:
• A record of the implementation of the SWPPP and other permit requirements
• Site inspections
• Stormwater sampling data
Create your own Site Inspection Form or use the Construction Stormwater Site Inspection Form
found on Ecology's website.
http://www. ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/index. htmI
File a blank form under Appendix D.
The site log book must be maintained on -site within reasonable access to the site and be made
available upon request to Ecology or the local jurisdiction.
Numeric effluent limits may be required for certain discharges to 303(d) listed waterbodies. See
CSWGP Special Condition S8 and Section 5 of this template.
4.1 Site Inspection
Site inspections will be conducted at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours
following any discharge from the site. For sites that are temporarily stabilized and inactive, the
required frequency is reduced to once per calendar month.
The discharge point(s) are indicated on the Site Map (see Appendix A) and in accordance with
the applicable requirements of the CSWGP.
4.2 Stormwater Quality Sampling
4.2.1 Turbidity Sampling
Requirements include calibrated turbidity meter or transparency tube to sample site discharges
for compliance with the CSWGP. Sampling will be conducted at all discharge points at least
once per calendar week.
Method for sampling turbidity:
Check the analysis method you will use:
Table 8 — Turbidity Sampling Method
❑
Turbidity Meter/Turbidimeter (required for disturbances 5 acres or greater in size)
❑
Transparency Tube (option for disturbances less than 1 acre and up to 5 acres in size)
The benchmark for turbidity value is 25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and a transparency
less than 33 centimeters.
Page 1 19
If the discharge's turbidity is 26 to 249 NTU or the transparency is less than 33 cm but equal to
or greater than 6 cm, the following steps will be conducted:
1. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Special Condition S9. Make appropriate
revisions within 7 days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark.
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period.
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
If the turbidity exceeds 250 NTU or the transparency is 6 cm or less at any time, the following
steps will be conducted:
Telephone or submit an electronic report to the applicable Ecology Region's
Environmental Report Tracking System (ERTS) within 24 hours.
• Central Region (Benton, Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas, Klickitat, Okanogan,
Yakima): (509) 575-2490 or
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/spills/forms/nerts online/CRO nerts online.html
• Eastern Region (Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant,
Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman): (509) 329-3400
or http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/spills/forms/nerts online/ERO nerts online.html
• Northwest Region (King, Kitsap, Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish,
Whatcom): (425) 649-7000 or
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/spills/forms/nerts online/NWRO nerts online.html
• Southwest Region (Clallam, Clark, Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Lewis,
Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Skamania, Thurston, Wahkiakum,): (360) 407-6300 or
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/spills/forms/nerts online/SWRO nerts online.html
2. Immediately begin the process to fully implement and maintain appropriate source
control and/or treatment BMPs as soon as possible. Address the problems within 10
days of the date the discharge exceeded the benchmark. If installation of necessary
treatment BMPs is not feasible within 10 days, Ecology may approve additional time
when the Permittee requests an extension within the initial 10-day response period
3. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book.
4. Continue to sample discharges daily until one of the following is true:
• Turbidity is 25 NTU (or lower).
• Transparency is 33 cm (or greater).
• Compliance with the water quality limit for turbidity is achieved.
0 1 - 5 NTU over background turbidity, if background is less than 50 NTU
0 1 % - 10% over background turbidity, if background is 50 NTU or greater
• The discharge stops or is eliminated.
Page 120
4.2.2 pH Sampling
Less than 1000 CY is anticipated being poured over the life of the project.
pH monitoring is required for "Significant concrete work" (i.e., greater than 1000 cubic yards
poured concrete over the life of the project). The use of recycled concrete or engineered soils
(soil amendments including but not limited to Portland cement -treated base [CTB], cement kiln
dust [CKD] or fly ash) also requires pH monitoring.
For significant concrete work, pH sampling will start the first day concrete is poured and
continue until it is cured, typically three (3) weeks after the last pour.
For engineered soils and recycled concrete, pH sampling begins when engineered soils or
recycled concrete are first exposed to precipitation and continues until the area is fully
stabilized.
If the measured pH is 8.5 or greater, the following measures will be taken:
1. Prevent high pH water from entering storm sewer systems or surface water.
2. Adjust or neutralize the high pH water to the range of 6.5 to 8.5 su using appropriate
technology such as carbon dioxide (CO2) sparging (liquid or dry ice).
3. Written approval will be obtained from Ecology prior to the use of chemical treatment
other than CO2 sparging or dry ice.
Method for sampling pH:
Check the analysis method you will use: N/A

requested in writing in accordance with Special Condition S5.G.2.b of the CSWGP.
6.1.3 Updating the SWPPP
The SWPPP will be modified if:
• Found ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in stormwater
discharges from the site.
• There is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance at the construction
site that has, or could have, a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to waters
of the State.
The SWPPP will be modified within seven (7) days if inspection(s) or investigation(s) determine
additional or modified BMPs are necessary for compliance. An updated timeline for BMP
implementation will be prepared.
Page 123
6.2 Reporting
6.2.1 Discharge Monitoring Reports
Cumulative soil disturbance is one (1) acre or larger; therefore, Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) will be submitted to Ecology monthly. If there was no discharge during a given
monitoring period the DMR will be submitted as required, reporting "No Discharge". The DMR
due date is fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar month.
DMRs will be reported online through Ecology's WQWebDMR System.
To sign up for WQWebDMR go to:
http://www.ecV.wa.gov/programs/wq/permits/paris/webdmr.html
6.2.2 Notification of Noncompliance
If any of the terms and conditions of the permit is not met, and the resulting noncompliance may
cause a threat to human health or the environment, the following actions will be taken:
1. Ecology will be notified within 24-hours of the failure to comply by calling the applicable
Regional office ERTS phone number (Regional office numbers listed below).
