Information contained in this SWPPP narrative sheet summarizes requirements of the GENERAL PERMIT
AUTHORIZATION TO DISCHARGE STORMWATER ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY UNDER THE
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM/STATE DISPOSAL SYSTEM PROGRAM - Permit No: MN
Rl0000l as they apply to this project. All provisions of the permit including those not specifically cited herein shall
apply to this project. The Contractor is responsible to be familiar with and comply with all conditions of the permit.
The full text of the permit is available at:
http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/water/water-types-and-programs/stormwater/construction-
stormwater/mpca-to-re-issue-construction-stormwater-general-permit.html
SWPPP AMENDMENTS
Permittee must amend SWPPP as necessary to include additional requirements to correct problems identified or
address the following situations.
1.There is a change in design, construction, operation, maintenance, weather or seasonal conditions.
2.Inspections or investigations by site owner or operators, USEPA or MPCA officials determine the SWPPP is
not minimizing discharge of pollutants to surface waters or underground waters or discharges are causing
water quality standard exceedances.
3.The SWPPP is not achieving the objectives of minimizing pollutants in stormwater discharges associated
with construction activity, or the SWPPP is not consistent with the terms and conditions of the permit.
4.The MPCA determines that the project's stormwater discharges may cause, have reasonable potential to
cause, or contribute to non-attainment of any applicable water quality standard, or the SWPPP does not
incorporate the applicable requirements of the permit.
EROSION PREVENTION PRACTICES
The location of areas not to be disturbed must be delineated on the project before site work begins.
Disturbance on steep slopes (>33.3%) shall be minimized. Where required, techniques such as phasing and
stabilizing practices designed for steep slopes shall be used.
All exposed soils must be stabilized as soon as possible, but in no case later than 14 days after the construction
activity has temporarily or permanently ceased.
For public waters that have been promulgated "work in water restrictions" during fish spawning time frames, all
exposed soil areas that are within 200 feet of the water's edge, and drain to these waters must complete
stabilization within 24-hours during the time period.
Stormwater conveyance channels shall be routed around unstabilized areas. Erosion controls and velocity
dissipation devices shall be used at outlets within and along the length of any constructed conveyance channel.
The normal wetted perimeter of all ditches or swales, including storm water management pond slopes, that drain
waters from the site must be stabilized within 200' of any property edge or discharge point, including storm sewer
inlets, within 24 hours of connection.
Stabilization of the remaining portions of any temporary or permanent ditches or swales within 14 calendar days
after connecting to a surface water or property edge and construction in that portion of the ditch has temporary
or permanently ceased.
Temporary or permanent ditches or swales used as sediment containment during construction do not need to be
stabilized during temporary period of use and shall be stabilized within 24 hours after no longer used as sediment
containment.
Mulch, hydromulch, tackifier, or similar practice shall not be used in any portion of a temporary or permanent
drainage ditch. Refer to erosion and sediment control plan for temporary and permanent stabilization measures
for ditches and swales.
Stormwater discharges shall be directed to vegetated areas where feasible. Velocity dissipation devices shall be
used at discharge point.
Phased construction will be used to extent practical or as indicated in the plans to minimize exposed soils.
Rapid stabilization shall be of type and quantity indicated in the project specifications. Additional rapid
stabilization may be necessary to minimize erosion throughout the duration of the project. Type and quantity shall
be determined by the engineer or inspector prior to installation. In extreme cases, the contractor shall use any
available rapid stabilization to immediately mitigate erosion, then further remedy the situation with approval by
owner or engineer.
SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES
Practices must be established on all down gradient perimeters and be located up gradient of any buffer zones.
Perimeter controls must be in place before up gradient land- disturbing activities begin and shall remain in place
until final stabilization.
All sediment controls practices shall be re-installed if they have been adjusted or removed to accommodate short-
term activities and replaced immediately after the short term activity has ceased. Short term activities shall be
performed as quickly as possible. Sediment control practices shall be re-installed even before the next
precipitation event if the activity is not complete.
All storm drains must be protected by appropriate BMPs during construction until all sources to the inlet have
been stabilized. Inlet protection may be removed for specific safety concerns identified by the Permittee or
jurisdictional authority. The removal shall be documented in the SWPPP and retained on site. Temporary
stockpiles must have silt fence or other effective sediment controls and shall not be placed in surface waters or
natural buffers.
Vehicle tracking BMPs shall be installed to minimize track out of sediment from the construction site. Method
shall be approved by engineer prior to commencement of construction activities. Street sweeping shall be used if
vehicle tracking BMPs are not adequate to prevent sediment from being tracked onto the street.
Soil compaction shall be minimized and topsoil shall be preserved, unless infeasible or if construction activities
dictate soil compaction or topsoil stripping.
A 50 foot natural buffer, or redundant BMPs (where a buffer is infeasible) must be maintained when a surface
water is located within 50 feet of disturbance activities and site runoff flows to the surface water.
If polymers, flocculants, or other sedimentation treatment chemicals are used on site, 1) conventional erosion and
sediment controls shall be sowed prior to chemical placement, 2) chemicals shall be chosen based on soil types,
and expected turbidity, pH, and flow rate of stormwater flowing into the treatment system, and 3) chemicals shall
be used with accepted engineering practices and dosing specifications.
TEMPORARY SEDIMENTATION BASINS
The temporary sedimentation basin shall be constructed and made operational prior to disturbance of 10 or more
acres draining to a common location.
Temporary sedimentation basins are required prior to runoff leaving the construction site or entering surface
waters when 10 or more acres of disturbed soils drain to a common location. The basin must provide 3,600 cubic
feet of "storage below the outlet per acre drained. If hydraulic calculations are available, the temporary
sedimentation basin must provide a storage volume equivalent to the 2-year, 24-hour storm, but in no case less
than 1800 cubic feet per acre drained. The temporary sedimentation basin must be constructed and made
operational concurrent with the start of soil disturbance up gradient of the pond. The temporary sedimentation
basin shall be designed to prevent short circuiting. The outfall shall be designed to remove floatable debris, allow
for complete drawdown of the pond for maintenance activities, and have energy dissipation. The emergency
spillway shall be stabilized.
Temporary sedimentation basins shall be situated outside of surface waters and any required buffer zone, and
must be designed to avoid draining wetlands, unless the impact is in compliance with the requirements of this
permit.
Excessive sediment-laden water that is not properly filtered will not be permitted to discharge from site.
DEWATERING AND BASIN DRAINING
Turbid or sediment-laden waters related to dewatering or basin draining shall be discharged to a temporary or
permanent sedimentation basin on the project site unless infeasible. The temporary or permanent basin may
discharge to surface waters if the basin water has been visually checked to ensure adequate treatment has been
obtained in the basin and that the nuisance conditions will not result from the discharge. Discharge points shall be
adequately protected from erosion and proper velocity dissipation provided.
All water from dewatering or basin-draining activities must be discharged in a manner that does not cause
nuisance conditions, erosion in the receiving channels or on down slope properties, or inundation in wetlands
causing significant adverse impacts to the wetland.
If filters with backwash waters are used, the backwash water shall be hauled away for disposal, returned to the
beginning of the treatment process, or incorporated into site in a manner that does not cause erosion. Backwash
water may be discharged to sanitary sewer if permission is granted by the sanitary sewer authority.
POLLUTION PREVENTION
Building products that have the potential to leach pollutants must be under cover to prevent discharge or
protected by an effective means designed to minimize contact with stormwater.
Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers, treatment chemicals, and landscape materials must be under cover.
Hazardous materials and toxic waste must be properly stored in sealed containers to prevent spills, leaks or other
discharge. Restricted access storage areas must be provided to prevent vandalism.
Solid waste must be stored, collected and disposed of in compliance with Minn. R. CH 7035.
Portable toilets must be positioned so that they are secure and will not be tipped or knocked over. Sanitary waste
must be disposed of properly in accordance with Minn. R. CH 7041.
Discharge of spilled or leaked chemicals, including fuel, from any area where chemicals or fuel will be loaded or
unloaded shall be prevented using drip pans or absorbents. Supplies shall be available at all times to clean up
discharged materials and that an appropriate disposal method must be available for recovered spilled materials.
Exterior vehicle or equipment washing on the project site shall be limited to a defined area of the site. Runoff
from the washing area shall be contained in a sediment basin or other similarly effective controls and waste from
the washing activity must be properly disposed of. No engine degreasing is allowed on site. Effective containment
for all liquid and solid wastes generated by concrete and other washout operations related to construction activity
shall be effectively contained. Liquid and solid washout waste shall not contact the ground, and containment must
be designed so that it does not result in runoff from the washout operations or areas. A sign must be installed
adjacent to each washout facility that requires site personnel to utilize the proper facilities for disposal of concrete
and other washout wastes.
INFESTED WATERS:
MN DNR permits are not valid for work in waters that are designated as infested waters unless accompanied by an
Infested Waters Permit or written notification has been obtained from MN DNR stating that such permit is not
required. There is no exception for pre-existing permits. If a MN DNR Permit has been issued for the project and
the water is later designated as infested, the Contractor shall halt all work covered by the MN DNR Permit until
until such time as an Infested Waters Permit is obtained or that written notification is obtained stating that such
permit is not required.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
A trained person shall routinely inspect the entire construction site at least once every 7 days during active
construction and within 24-hours after a rainfall event greater than 0.5 inches in 24 hours. Following an inspection
that occurs within 24-hours after a rainfall event, the next inspection must be conducted within 7 days.
All inspections and maintenance conducted during construction must be recorded within 24 hours in writing and
records must be retained with the SWPPP. Inspection report forms are available in the Project Specifications.
Inspection report forms other than those provided shall be approved by the engineer.
Where parts of the project site have permanent cover, but work remains on other parts of the site, inspections
may be reduced on these areas to once per month.
Where the site has permanent cover on all exposed areas and no construction activity is occurring anywhere on
site, the site must be inspected during non-frozen conditions at least once per month for 12 months. Following
the 12th month of permanent cover and no construction activity, inspections shall be terminated until
construction activity resumes or notification from MPCA has been issued that erosion has been detected at the
site.
During frozen ground conditions, inspections may be suspended and shall resume within 24 hours after runoff
occurs or 24 hours prior to resuming construction activity, whichever is first.
Inspection and maintenance shall resume until another Permittee has obtained coverage under this Permit or the
project has undergone Final Stabilization, and an NOT has been submitted.
All erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs shall be inspected to ensure integrity and effectiveness during
all routine and post-rainfall inspections. All non-functioning BMPs must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented
with functional BMPs by the end of the next business day after discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow
access.
All perimeter control devices must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented when they become non-functional or
the sediment reaches one-half (1/2) of the height of the device. These repairs must be made by the end of the
next business day after discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow.
Temporary and permanent sediment basins must be drained and the sediment removed when the depth of
sediment collected in the basin reaches one-half (1/2) the storage volume. Drainage and sediment removal must
be completed within 72 hours of discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow.
Surface waters, including drainage ditches and conveyance systems, must be inspected for erosion and sediment
deposition during each inspection. All deltas and sediment deposited in drainage ways, catch basins, and other
drainage systems shall be removed. The removal and stabilization must take place within seven (7) days of
discovery unless precluded by legal, regulatory, or physical access constraints. The Permittee is responsible for
obtaining all applicable permits prior to conducting any work in surface waters.
Construction site vehicle exit locations must be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking onto paved
surfaces. Tracked sediment must be removed from all paved surfaces both on and off site within 24-hours of
discovery, or if applicable, within a shorter time to comply with the permit.
Streets and other areas adjacent to the project must be inspected for evidence of off-site accumulations of
sediment. If sediment is present, it must be removed in a manner and at a sufficient frequency to minimize
off-site impacts.
All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that no sediment from ongoing construction activity is reaching
the infiltration area and that equipment is not being driven across the infiltration area.
FINAL STABILIZATION
Final Stabilization is not complete until all of the following requirements have been met:
1.All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and all soils are stabilized by a uniform
perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70% of its expected final growth density over the entire
pervious surface area, or other equivalent means necessary to prevent soil failure under erosive conditions.
2.Permanent stormwater management system is constructed, meets all requirements of the Permit, and is
operating as designed. Temporary or permanent sedimentation basins that are to be used as permanent
water quality management basins have been cleaned of any accumulated sediment. All sediment has been
removed from conveyance systems, and ditches are stabilized with permanent cover.
3.All temporary synthetic and structural erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs have been removed.
BMPs designed to decompose on site may be left in place.
4.For residential construction only, individual lots are considered finally stabilized if the structure(s) are
finished, temporary erosion protection and down gradient perimeter control has been completed and the
residence has been sold to the homeowner. Also, the "Homeowner Fact Sheet" has been provided to the
homeowner
