Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Batista Dunkin’ Page 1


1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared for major activities associated with construction of Batista Southeast Dunkin’. This SWPPP includes the elements necessary to comply with the national baseline general permit for construction activities enacted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and all local governing agency requirements. This SWPPP must be implemented at the start of construction.

This SWPPP has been developed in accordance with the “New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity” General Permit Number GP-0-15-002, effective January 29, 2015 through January 28, 2020. The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify and detail stormwater management, pollution prevention, and erosion and sediment control measures necessary during and following completion of construction.

This SWPPP and the accompanying plans entitled “Engineering Plan Set” have been submitted as a set. These engineering drawings are considered an integral part of this SWPPP. Therefore, this SWPPP is not considered complete without them. References made herein to “the plans” or to a specific “sheet” refer to these drawings.

This report considers the impacts associated with the intended development with the purpose of:

1. Maintaining existing drainage patterns as much as possible while continuing the conveyance of upland watershed runoff;

2. Controlling increases in the rate of stormwater runoff resulting from the proposed development so as not to adversely alter downstream conditions; and

3. Mitigating potential stormwater quality impacts and preventing soil erosion and sedimentation resulting from stormwater runoff generated both during and after construction.

The analysis and design completed and documented in this report is intended to be part of the application made for a commercial, redevelopment project completed on behalf of the Owner.

1.1 Project Description

The Applicant, ECB Realty, LLC (Steven Batista), is proposing amendments to an approved site plan for a 0.92-acre parcel located at 1617 NYS Route 22 in the Town of Southeast, at the intersection of NYS Route 22 and NYS Route 312. The current applicant is proposing to construct a 2,400 square foot (SF) Dunkin’ (formerly known as Dunkin’ Donuts) with drive-thru on the site.

The 0.92-acre site is currently vacant, since a former gas station on the site has been removed by the previous applicant, and the site has been remediated to the satisfaction of NYSDEC. The 0.92-acre parcel is identified on the Town of Southeast tax map as Section 46 Block 1 Lot 21. A location map of the site has been provided in Appendix G, as Figure 1.

The project site is located within the New York City Watershed located east of the Hudson River, and construction activities will involve soil disturbance between 5,000 square feet and one acre of land. This type of project is included in Table 1 of Appendix B of GP-0-15-002. Therefore, this SWPPP only includes erosion and sediment controls.



.

This project is located within the Town of Southeast regulated, traditional land use control Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4). Therefore, an MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form is required to accompany NOIs submitted to the NYSDEC.

Runoff from the project site will discharge to an unnamed class C water course which is not included in the list of Section 303(d) water bodies included in Appendix E of GP-0-15-002.

Project construction activities will consist primarily of site grading, paving, building construction, water supply, and sewage collection necessary to support the proposed redevelopment. Construction phase pollutant sources anticipated at the site are disturbed (exposed) soil, vehicle fuels and lubricants, chemicals associated with building construction, and building materials. Without adequate control there is the potential for each type of pollutant to be transported by stormwater.

1.2 Stormwater Pollution Controls

The stormwater pollution controls outlined herein have been designed and evaluated in accordance with the following standards and guidelines:

• New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, dated January 2015 (Design Manual).

• New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, dated November 2016 (SSESC).

• New York City Department of Environmental Protection Final Regulations (effective May 1, 1997, as amended April 4, 2010)

Stormwater quality will be enhanced through the implementation of temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures, and other construction-phase pollution controls outlined herein.

1.3 Conclusion

This project is subject to the requirements of the Town of Southeast regulated MS4, and this SWPPP has been prepared in conformance with the current Design Manual and SSESC. As such, GP-0-15-002 coverage will be effective five (5) business days from the date the NYSDEC receives the electronically submitted eNOI and signed “MS4 SWPPP Acceptance” form, or ten (10) business days from the date the NYSDEC receives the complete paper NOI and signed “MS4 SWPPP Acceptance” form.

3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS

3.1 Land Use and Topography

The project site is an abandoned gas station and based on correspondence with the NYSDEC it has been inactive for approximately six to eight years. The parcel is zoned for HC-1 (Highway Commercial) use.

The overall site is slightly to moderately sloping, with slopes ranging from 0 to 25 percent. Site elevations range from approximately 98 feet above mean sea level (MSL) to 120 feet above MSL. The western and southern portions of the site are higher in elevation than the northern and eastern portions of the site.

Runoff from the site currently enters a closed drainage network within the NYSDOT right-of-ways along NYS Routes 22 and 312 where it is conveyed to a stream located at the North West Corners of the NYSD Route 22 and 312.

3.2 Soils and Groundwater

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Survey for Putnam and Westchester Counties was reviewed and provided surficial soil conditions for the study area. The SCS identified the presence of Ridgebury and Paxton soil series soil types. Soil data as provided by the SCS is presented in Table 1.

Table 1: USDA Soil Data

Map Symbol & Description Hydrologic Soil

Group Permeability (inches/hour)

Erosion Factor K

Depth to Water Table

(feet)

Depth to Bedrock (inches)

RdB – Ridgebury loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes

C 0.6-6.0 0.24 0-0.5 >60

PnC – Paxton fine sandy loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes

C 0.6-2.0 0.24 1.5-2.5 >60

Upon review of the soil data presented in Table 1, the project site does not contain soils with a soil slope phase of E or F.

The Soil Conservation Service defines the hydrologic soil groups as follows:

• Type A Soils: Soils having a high infiltration rate and low runoff potential when thoroughly wet. These soils consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.

• Type B Soils: Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet and consisting mainly of moderately deep to deep, moderately well to well drained soils with moderately fine to moderately course textures. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.



• Type C Soils: Soils having a low infiltration rate when thoroughly wet and consisting chiefly of soils with a layer that impedes downward movement of water and soils with moderately fine-to-fine texture. These soils have a low rate of water transmission.

• Type D Soils: Soils having a very low infiltration rate and high runoff potential when thoroughly wet. These soils consist chiefly of clays that have high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a permanent high water table, soils that have a clay pan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very low rate of water transmission.

The soils map for the study area is presented in Appendix G, as Figure 2.

3.3 Watershed Designation

The project site is located in the New York City Watershed East of the Hudson, which is listed in both Appendix C and Appendix D of GP-0-15-002. Within this watershed, all projects that involve soil disturbances between 5000 square feet and one acre of land must obtain coverage under the general permit, and are required to prepare a SWPPP that only includes erosion and sediment controls

3.4 Receiving Water Bodies

The nearest natural classified water course into which runoff from the project site will discharge is an unnamed, 864-304 regulated water course tributary to the Bog Brook Reservoir.

This water course is classified by NYSDEC as a Class C water course and is not included in the Section 303(d) list of impaired waters found in Appendix E of GP-0-15-002.

3.5 Aquifer Designation

The project site is not located over a US EPA designated Sole Source aquifer; nor is it located over a Primary or Principal aquifer listed in the NYSDEC Technical and Operational Guidance Series (TOGS) 2.1.3 (1980).

3.6 Wetlands

On January 30, 2013, the project site was evaluated by Chazen employees for the presence of regulated wetlands and it was determined that the project site does not contain NYSDEC or Federally Regulated Wetlands.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Environmental Resources Mapper, on May 28, 2013, indicated that, although State regulated wetlands are not located on-site, the NYSDEC wetland bearing the designation BR-40 is located to the southeast of the project site approximately 650 feet from the property boundary and the NYSDEC wetland bearing the designation BR-9 is located to the northwest of the project site approximately 750 feet from the property boundary.



3.7 Flood Plains

According to the National Flood Insurance Program Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Town of Southeast, New York, Community Panel Number 361041 0162 E, the project site lies within Flood Zone X, an area of outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. Therefore, there is no 100-year flood plain boundary to be shown on the project plans.

3.8 Listed, Endangered, or Threatened Species

Chazen has completed a preliminary Endangered and Threatened Species investigation report for the Batista Dunkin’ site in the Town of Southeast, Putnam County, NY. The investigation found that the US Fish and Wildlife Service identified Indiana Bat, Bog Turtle, New England Cottontail and Bald Eagle as occurring in Putnam County. The NY Natural Heritage Program identified that Bald Eagles and Bog Turtles were identified as occurring within one mile of the site. On January 22, 2013, biologists from the Chazen Companies made an inspection of the site and surrounding areas. The biologists found that the site is completely lacking in suitable habitat for threatened and endangered species. This is due in large part to the existing development of the site (vacant gas station), and the urbanized and degraded condition of the immediate landscape. The trees on the site are identified as an early successional variant of the Northern Hardwood Forest community. The trees are overwhelmingly dominated by sugar maple. The Site’s trees were generally found to be devoid of certain micro-habitat features, such as exfoliating/loose bark, cavities, crevices or snags. This is likely due to the relatively young age of the forest community. As such, the community does not represent habitat for Indiana bat. No wetland or water surface features were identified within or directly adjacent to the Site’s forested habitat, or elsewhere on site. Therefore the site does not represent bog turtle habitat. The site does not have thickets or other habitat associated with New England Cottontail. The site does not have open water areas that would be suitable for Bald Eagle foraging or nesting.

Suitable bog turtle habitat is found less than half a mile from the site (the southern portion of NYSDEC wetland BR-9), and radio-telemetry studies find that bog turtles can travel more than half a mile to reach other suitable habitats. However, at this site, any turtle would need to cross NYS Route 312 or Route 22 before reaching the site. Both roadways have very high traffic counts (10,493 and 24,000 per day respectively in 2010). Both of these roads are significant barriers for animal (especially turtle) migration. Such “barriers” diminish the likelihood of turtles successfully entering the Site, thereby alleviating the need for additional mitigation measures beyond the silt fencing already planned as part of the project’s erosion control plan.

3.9 Historic Places

A State Preservation Historical Information Network Exchange search on the New York State Historic Preservation Office website, performed on November 30, 2012, revealed the property is not listed or eligible for listing on the State or National Register of Historic Places. A printout of the historic places screening map is presented in Appendix G, as Figure 3.

In addition, the stormwater discharges from the project site will not adversely impact downstream properties so long as the stormwater management practices have been constructed in accordance with

this SWPPP.



4.0 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE

This project has not received written approval from Town of Southeast allowing the disturbance of more than five acres of land at any one time. Therefore, if the Contractor’s construction sequence requires the disturbance of more than five acres at any one time, written approval must be obtained from NYSDEC prior to disturbing more than five acres at once.

The “Erosion and Sediment Control Plan” and the “Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Prior to Construction” in the accompanying drawings identifies the major construction activities that are the subject of this SWPPP. The order (or sequence) in which the major activities are expected to begin is presented on the accompanying drawings, though each activity will not necessarily be completed before the next begins. In addition, these activities could occur in a different order if necessary to maintain adequate erosion and sediment control. If this is the case, the contractor shall notify the Owner’s/Operator’s Engineer overseeing the implementation of the SWPPP.

The Contractor will be responsible for implementing the erosion and sediment control measures identified on the plans. The Contractor may designate these tasks to certain subcontractors as they see fit, but the ultimate responsibility for implementing these controls and ensuring their proper function remains with the Contractor.

Refer to the accompanying plans for details and specifications regarding the construction sequencing schedule.



5.0 CONSTRUCTION-PHASE POLLUTION CONTROL

The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify the temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures that have been incorporated into the design of this project. These measures will be implemented during construction, to minimize soil erosion and control sediment transport off-site, and after construction, to control the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff from the developed site.

Erosion control measures, designed to minimize soil loss, and sediment control measures, intended to retain eroded soil and prevent it from reaching water bodies or adjoining properties, have been developed in accordance with the following documents:

• NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activity, Permit No. GP-0-15-002 (effective January 29, 2015 through January 28, 2020)

• New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, NYSDEC (November 2016)

The SWPPP and accompanying plans outline the construction scheduling for implementing the erosion and sediment control measures. These documents include limitations on the duration of soil exposure, criteria and specifications for placement and installation of the erosion and sediment control measures, a maintenance schedule, and specifications for the implementation of erosion and sediment control practices and procedures.

Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures that shall be applied during construction generally include:

1. Minimizing soil erosion and sedimentation by stabilization of disturbed areas and by removing sediment from construction site discharges.

2. Preservation of existing vegetation to the greatest extent practical. Following the completion of construction activities in any portion of the site, permanent vegetation shall be established on all exposed soils.

3. Site preparation activities to minimize the area and duration of soil disruption.

4. Establishment of permanent traffic corridors to ensure that “routes of convenience” are avoided.

5.1 Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Measures

The temporary erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections are included as part of the construction documents.

5.1.1 Stabilized Construction Entrance

Prior to construction, stabilized construction entrance(s) will be installed, per accompanying plans, to reduce the tracking of sediment onto public roadways.

Construction traffic must enter and exit the site at the stabilized construction entrance(s). The intent is to trap dust and mud that would otherwise be carried off-site by construction traffic.

The entrance(s) shall be maintained in a condition, which will control tracking of sediment onto public rights-of-way or streets. When necessary, additional aggregate will be placed atop the filter fabric to



assure the minimum thickness is maintained. All sediment and/or soil spilled, dropped, or washed onto public rights-of-way must be removed immediately. Periodic inspection and needed maintenance shall be provided after each substantial rainfall event.

5.1.2 Dust Control

Water trucks shall be used as needed during construction to reduce dust generated on-site. Dust control must be provided by the Contractor(s) to a degree that is acceptable to the Owner, and in compliance with the applicable local and state dust control requirements.

5.1.3 Temporary Soil Stockpile

Materials, such as topsoil, will be temporarily stockpiled (if necessary) on the site during the construction process. Stockpiles shall be located in an area away from storm drainage, water bodies and/or courses, and will be properly protected from erosion by a surrounding silt fence barrier.

5.1.4 Silt Fencing

Prior to the initiation of and during construction activities, a geotextile filter fabric (or silt fence) will be established downgradient of all disturbed areas. These barriers may extend into non-impact areas to provide adequate protection of adjacent lands.

Clearing and grubbing will be performed only as necessary for the installation of the sediment control barrier. To facilitate effectiveness of the silt fencing, daily inspections and inspections immediately after significant storm events will be performed by the Contractor(s). Maintenance of the fence will be performed as needed.

5.1.5 Temporary Seeding

Because this site directly discharges to one of the 303(d) segments listed in Appendix E or is located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C of GP-0-15-002, temporary soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days from the date the soil disturbance activity has temporarily ceased.

5.1.6 Stone and Block Drop Inlet Protection

Concrete blocks surrounded by wire mesh and crushed stone will be placed around both existing catch basins, and proposed catch basins once they have been installed, to prevent sediment from entering the catch basins and storm sewer system. During construction, crushed stone shall be replaced as necessary to ensure proper function.

5.1.7 Filter Fabric Drop Inlet Protection

Install filter fabric or silt fence with wooden stakes at the perimeter of existing or proposed catch basins located in lawn areas, to prevent sediment from entering the catch basins and storm sewer system. Remove sediment accumulation and repair or replace fabric as necessary to ensure proper function.

5.1.8 Erosion Control Blanket

Erosion control blankets shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s requirements on all slopes exceeding 3:1. Erosion control blankets provide temporary erosion protection, rapid vegetative establishment, and long-term erosion resistance to shear stresses generated by high runoff flow velocities associated with steep slopes.



5.1.9 Temporary Sediment Trap

Temporary sediment traps shall be constructed to intercept sediment-laden runoff, reduce the amount of sediment leaving the disturbed areas, and protect drainage ways, properties, and rights-of-way.

Accumulated sediment shall be removed from the trap when it reaches no greater than 50 percent of the design capacity. Sediment shall not be placed downstream from the embankment, adjacent to a stream, or floodplain.

Temporary sediment traps depicted on the accompanying plans have been designed to provide 3,600 CF of storage per acre of tributary watershed.

5.1.10 Temporary Diversion Swales

Temporary diversion swales shall be used to divert off-site runoff around the construction site and divert runoff from stabilized areas around disturbed areas. Temporary diversion swales can be used to direct runoff from disturbed areas into sediment traps.

5.1.11 Dewatering Operations

Dewatering will be used to intercept sediment-laden stormwater or pumped groundwater and allow it to settle out of the pumped discharge prior to being discharged from the site. Water from dewatering operations shall be treated to eliminate the discharge of sediment and other pollutants. Water resulting from dewatering operations shall be directed to temporary sediment traps or dewatering devices. Temporary sediment traps and dewatering bags will be provided, installed, and maintained at downgradient locations to control sediment deposits to downstream surfaces. Clearing and grubbing will be performed only as necessary for the installation of the sediment control filter; and unlike sediment control barriers, trenching is not required. The ends of the filter sock should be directed upslope, to prevent stormwater from running around the end of the sock. The preferred anchoring method is to drive stakes through the center of the sock at regular intervals; alternatively, stakes can be placed on the downstream side of the sock. To facilitate effectiveness of the compost filter sock, daily inspections and inspections immediately after significant storm events will be performed by the Contractor(s) to ensure that they are intact and the area behind the sock is not filled with sediment. Maintenance of the sock will be performed as needed.

5.2 Permanent Erosion and Sediment Control Measures

The permanent erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections are included as part of the construction documents.

5.2.1 Establishment of Permanent Vegetation

Disturbed areas that will be vegetated must be seeded in accordance with the contract documents. The type of seed, mulch, and maintenance measures as described in the contract documents shall also be followed.

Because this site directly discharges to one of the 303(d) segments listed in Appendix E or is located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C of GP-0-15-002, permanent soil stabilization measures must



be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days from the date the soil disturbance activity has permanently ceased.

Final site stabilization is achieved when all soil-disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80 percent has been established or equivalent stabilization measures (such as the use of mulches or geotextiles) have been employed on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures.

5.3 Other Pollutant Controls

Other necessary pollutant controls are listed below:

5.3.1 Solid and Liquid Waste Disposal

No solid or liquid waste materials, including building materials, shall be discharged from the site with stormwater. All solid waste, including disposable materials incidental to any construction activities, must be collected and placed in containers. The containers shall be emptied periodically by a licensed trash disposal service and hauled away from the site.

Substances that have the potential for polluting surface and/or groundwater must be controlled by whatever means necessary in order to ensure that they do not discharge from the site. As an example, special care must be exercised during equipment fueling and servicing operations. If a spill occurs, it must be contained and disposed of so that it will not flow from the site or enter groundwater, even if this requires removal, treatment, and disposal of soil. In this regard, potentially polluting substances should be handled in a manner consistent with the impact they represent.

5.3.2 Sanitary Facilities

Temporary sanitary facilities will be provided by the Contractor throughout the construction phase. They must be utilized by all construction personnel and will be serviced by a licensed commercial Contractor. These facilities must comply with state and local sanitary or septic system regulations.

5.3.3 Water Source

Non-stormwater components of site discharge must be clean water. Water used for construction, which discharges from the site, must originate from a public water supply or private well approved by the Health Department. Water used for construction that does not originate from an approved public supply must not discharge from the site; such water can be retained in temporary ponds/sediment traps until it infiltrates and/or evaporates.

5.4 Construction Housekeeping Practices

During the construction phase, the Contractor(s) will implement the following measures:

5.4.1 Material Stockpiles

Material resulting from clearing and grubbing operations that will be stockpiled on-site, must be adequately protected with downgradient erosion and sediment controls.



5.4.2 Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance

The Contractor(s) will designate areas for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and repair. The Contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) will utilize those areas. The areas will be protected by a temporary perimeter berm.

5.4.3 Detergents

The use of detergents for large-scale washing is prohibited (i.e., vehicles, buildings, pavement surfaces, etc.)

5.4.4 Spill Prevention and Response

A Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall be developed for the site by the Contractor(s). The plan shall detail the steps required in the event of an accidental spill and shall identify contact names and phone numbers of people and agencies that must be notified.

The plan shall include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials to be stored on-site. All workers on-site will be required to be trained on safe handling and spill prevention procedures for all materials used during construction. Regular tailgate safety meetings shall be held and all workers that are expected on the site during the week shall be required to attend.

5.4.5 Concrete Wash Areas

Concrete trucks will be allowed to wash out or discharge surplus concrete or drum wash water on the site, but only in specifically designated diked and impervious washout areas, which have been prepared to prevent contact between the concrete wash and stormwater. Waste generated from concrete wash water shall not be allowed to flow into drainage ways, inlets, receiving waters, or highway right of ways, or any location other than the designated concrete wash areas. Proper signage designating the “Concrete Wash Areas” shall be placed near the facility. Concrete wash areas shall be located at minimum 100 linear feet from drainage ways, inlets, and surface waters.

The hardened residue from the concrete wash areas will be disposed of in the same manner as other non-hazardous construction waste materials. Maintenance of the wash area is to include removal of hardened concrete. Facility shall have sufficient volume to contain all the concrete waste resulting from washout and a minimum freeboard of 12 inches. Facility shall not be filled beyond 95% capacity and shall be cleaned out once 75% full unless a new facility is constructed. The Contractor will be responsible for seeing that these procedures are followed.

Sawcut Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) slurry shall not be allowed to enter drainage ways, inlets, and/or surface waters. Sawcut residue should not be left on the surface of pavement or be allowed to flow over and off pavement.

The Project may require the use of multiple concrete wash areas. All concrete wash areas will be located in an area where the likelihood of the area contributing to stormwater discharges is negligible. If required, additional BMPs must be implemented to prevent concrete wastes from contributing to stormwater discharges.

5.4.6 Material Storage

Construction materials shall be stored in a dedicated staging area. The staging area shall be located in an area that prevents negative impacts of construction materials on stormwater quality.



Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, and other toxic material must be stored in waterproof containers. Except during application, the contents must be kept in trucks or within storage facilities. Runoff containing such material must be collected, removed from the site, treated, and disposed of at an approved solid waste or chemical disposal facility.



6.0 INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, AND REPORTING

6.1 Inspection and Maintenance Requirements

6.1.1 Pre-Construction Inspection and Certification

Prior to the commencement of construction, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall conduct an assessment of the site and certify that the appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been adequately installed and implemented. The Contractor shall contact the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional once the erosion and sediment control measures have been installed.

6.1.2 Construction Phase Inspections and Maintenance

Because this project site is located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix D of GP-0-15-002, and is between 5,000 square feet and acre in proposed soil disturbance, site inspections are not required by a qualified professional however are required by the trained professional.

The purpose of site inspections is to assess performance of pollutant controls. Based on these inspections, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional will decide whether it is necessary to modify this SWPPP, add or relocate sediment barriers, or whatever else may be needed in order to prevent pollutants from leaving the site via stormwater runoff. The general contractor has the duty to cause pollutant control measures to be repaired, modified, maintained, supplemented, or whatever else is necessary in order to achieve effective pollutant control.

Examples of particular items to evaluate during site inspections are listed below. This list is not intended to be comprehensive. During each inspection the inspector must evaluate overall pollutant control system performance as well as particular details of individual system components. Additional factors should be considered as appropriate to the circumstances.

1. Locations where vehicles enter and exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking. A stabilized construction entrance will be constructed where vehicles enter and exit. This entrance will be maintained or supplemented as necessary to prevent sediment from leaving the site on vehicles.

2. Sediment barriers must be inspected and, if necessary, they must be enlarged or cleaned in order to provide additional capacity. All material from behind sediment barriers will be stockpiled on the up slope side. Additional sediment barriers must be constructed as needed.

3. Inspections will evaluate disturbed areas and areas used for storing materials that are exposed to rainfall for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. If necessary, the materials must be covered or original covers must be repaired or supplemented. Also, protective berms must be constructed, if needed, in order to contain runoff from material storage areas.

4. Grassed areas will be inspected to confirm that a healthy stand of grass is maintained. The site has achieved final stabilization once all areas are covered with building foundation or pavement, or have a stand of grass with at least 80 percent density. The density of 80 percent or greater must be maintained to be considered as stabilized. Areas must be watered, fertilized, and reseeded as needed to achieve this goal.



5. All discharge points must be inspected to determine whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing significant impacts to receiving waters.

The inspection reports must be completed entirely and additional remarks should be included if needed to fully describe a situation. An important aspect of the inspection report is the description of additional measures that need to be taken to enhance plan effectiveness. The inspection report must identify whether the site was in compliance with the SWPPP at the time of inspection and specifically identify all incidents of non-compliance.

Within one (1) business day of the completion of an inspection, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall notify the Owner/Operator and appropriate contractor or subcontractor of any corrective actions that need to be taken. The contractor or subcontractor shall begin implementing the corrective actions within one (1) business day of the notification and shall complete the corrective actions in a reasonable time frame.

In addition to the inspections performed by the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional, the Contractor shall perform routine inspections that include a visual check of all erosion and sediment control measures. All inspections and maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the inspection and maintenance schedule provided on the accompanying plans. Sediment removed from erosion and sediment control measures will be exported from the site, stockpiled for later use, or used immediately for general non-structural fill.

It is the responsibility of the general contractor to assure the adequacy of site pollutant discharge controls. Actual physical site conditions or contractor practices could make it necessary to install more structural controls than are shown on the accompanying plans. (For example, localized concentrations of runoff could make it necessary to install additional sediment barriers, sediment traps, etc.) Assessing the need for additional controls and implementing them or adjusting existing controls will be a continuing aspect of this SWPPP until the site achieves final stabilization.

6.1.3 Temporary Suspension of Construction Activities

For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been temporarily suspended (e.g. Winter shutdown) and temporary stabilization measures have been applied to all disturbed areas, the frequency of Trained Contractor inspections can be reduced to once every 30 calendar days. Prior to reducing the frequency of inspections, the Owner/Operator shall notify the NYSDEC Region 3 stormwater contact person Town of Southeast in writing.

6.1.4 Partial Project Completion

For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been shut down with partial project completion, all areas disturbed as of the project shutdown date have achieved final stabilization and the inspections by the Trained Contractor can stop. Prior to the shutdown, the Owner/Operator shall notify the NYSDEC Region 3 stormwater contact person and the Town of Southeast in writing.

If soil disturbance activities have not resumed within two years from the date of shutdown, a Notice of Termination (NOT) shall be properly completed and submitted to the NYSDEC.



6.1.5 Post-Construction Inspections and Maintenance

Inspections and maintenance of final stabilization measures be performed in accordance with Appendix F, once all disturbed areas are stabilized.

6.2 Reporting Requirements

6.2.1 Inspection and Maintenance Reports

Inspection/maintenance reports shall be prepared prior to and during construction in accordance with the schedule outlined herein and in the SPDES General Permit GP-0-15-002 Part IV.C. The reports shall be prepared to identify and document the maintenance of the erosion and sediment control measures. A sample inspection form is provided in Appendix D.

Specifically, each inspection shall record the following information:

1. Date and time of inspection.

2. Name and title of person(s) performing inspection.

3. A description of the weather and soil conditions (e.g. dry, wet, saturated) at the time of the inspection.

4. A description of the condition of the runoff at all points of discharge from the construction site. This shall include identification of any discharges of sediment from the construction site. Include discharges from conveyance systems (i.e. pipes, culverts, ditches, etc.) and overland flow.

5. A description of the condition of all natural surface waterbodies located within, or immediately adjacent to, the property boundaries of the construction site which receive runoff from disturbed areas. This shall include identification of any discharges of sediment to the surface water body.

6. Identification of all erosion and sediment control practices and pollution prevention measures that need repair or maintenance.

7. Identification of all erosion and sediment control practices and pollution prevention measures that were not installed properly or are not functioning as designed and need to be reinstalled or replaced.

8. Description and sketch of areas with active soil disturbance activity, areas that have been disturbed but are inactive at the time of the inspection, and areas that have been stabilized (temporary and/or final) since the last inspection.

9. Corrective action(s) that must be taken to install, repair, replace or maintain erosion and sediment control practices and pollution prevention measures

10. Identification and status of all corrective actions that were required by previous inspection.

11. Color photographs, with date stamp, that clearly show the condition of all practices that have been identified as needing corrective actions. The Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall



attach paper color copies of the digital photographs to the inspection report being maintained onsite within seven (7) calendar days of the date of the inspection. The Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall also take digital photographs, with date stamp, that clearly show the condition of the practice(s) after the corrective action has been completed. The Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall attach the paper color copies of the digital photographs to the inspection report that documents the completion of the corrective action work within seven (7) calendar days of that inspection.

All inspection reports shall be signed by the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional. Pursuant to Part II.C.2 of GP-0-15-002, the inspection reports shall be maintained on site with the SWPPP.

6.2.2 Site Log Book

The Owner/Operator shall retain a copy of the SWPPP required by GP-0-15-002 at the construction site from the date of initiation of construction activities to the date of final stabilization.

During construction, the Owner’s/Operator’s Engineer shall maintain a record of all SWPPP inspection reports at the site in the Site Log Book. The Site Log Book shall be maintained on-site and made available to the permitting authority, if necessary.

6.2.3 Post Construction Records and Archiving

Following construction, the Owner/Operator shall retain copies of the SWPPP, the complete construction Site Log Book, and records of all data used to complete the NOI to be covered by this permit, for a period of at least five years from the date that the site is finally stabilized. This period may be extended by the NYSDEC, at its sole discretion, at any time upon written notification.

Records shall be maintained of all post construction inspections and maintenance work performed in accordance with the requirements outlined in Appendix F.

Appendix F: Post-Construction Inspections and Maintenance

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Batista Southeast Dunkin’ Appendix F-1


POST CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

1. SITE COVER

a. Inspections

Site cover and associated structures and embankments should be inspected periodically for the first few months following construction and then on a biannual basis. Site inspections should also be performed following all major (i.e., intense storms, thunder storms, cloud burst, etc.) storm events. Items to check for include (but are not limited to):

i. Differential settlement of embankments, cracking or erosion.

ii. Lack of vigor and density of grass turf.

iii. Accumulation of sediments or litter on lawn areas, paved areas, or within catch basin sumps.

iv. Accumulation of pollutants, including oils or grease, in catch basin sumps.

v. Damage or fatigue of storm sewer structures or associated components.

b. Mowing and Sweeping

Vegetated areas and landscaping should be maintained to promote vigorous and dense growth. Lawn areas should be mowed at least three times a year (more frequent mowing may be desired for aesthetic reasons). Resultant yard waste shall be collected and disposed of off-site.

Paved areas should be swept at least twice a year. Additional sweeping may be appropriate in the early spring for removal of deicing materials

c. Debris and Litter Removal

Accumulation of litter and debris should be removed during each mowing or sweep operation.

d. Structural Repair or Replacement

Components of the system which require repair or replacement should be addressed immediately following identification.

e. Catch Basins

The frequency for cleanout of catch basin sumps will depend on the efficiency of mowing, sweeping, and debris and litter removal. Sumps should be cleaned when accumulation of sediments are within six inches of the catch basin outlet pipe.

Disposal of material from catch basins sumps, drainage manholes, and trench drains shall be in accordance with local, state, and federal guidelines.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Batista Southeast Dunkin’ Appendix F-2


f. Grassed Swales

Swale maintenance will include periodic mowing, occasional spot reseeding and weed control to keep grass cover dense and vigorous. Resultant yard waste shall be collected and disposed of off-site. Application of fertilizers and pesticides should be restricted or limited.

g. Rip-rap Dissipation structures

Rip-rap used to dissipate energy from pipe outfalls shall be cleaned or replaced when it becomes overburdened with silt or sediment.

h. Winter Maintenance

To prevent impacts to storm water management facilities, the following winter maintenance limitations, restrictions, or requirements are recommended:

i. Remove snow and ice from inlet structures, basin inlet and outlet structures and away from culvert end sections.

ii. Snow removed from paved areas should not be piled at inlets/outlets of the storm water management basin.

iii. Use of deicing materials should be limited to sand and “environmentally friendly” chemical products. Use of salt mixtures should be kept to a minimum.

iv. Sand used for deicing should be clean, course material free of fines, silt, and clay.

v. Materials used for deicing should be removed during the early spring by sweeping and/ or vacuuming.
