Plans and additional reports to be used in conjunction with this
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) are as follows:
■ Plans entitled "Mixed-Use Building, 1 Driscoll Road",
prepared by ABD Engineers, LLP, dated August 27, 2020, as
revised.
■ Stormwater Management Report for"Mixed-Use Building, 1
Driscoll Road" prepared by ABD Engineers, LLP, 411 Union
Street, Schenectady, NY 12305, dated August 12, 2021, as
revised.
1.4 DESCRIPTION: �PURPOSE AND TYPES OF SOIL DISTURBING ACTIVITIES�
The proposed mixed-use building is located at the intersection of
Driscoll Road and Route 9 in the City of Saratoga Springs,
Saratoga County, New York(see Exhibit 1). The site is bordered
on the east by Route 9, on the south by Driscoll Road, on the west
by woods, and on the north by a greenhouse.
The applicant is proposing to develop a 5.9±acre parcel in order to
construct a two-story 11,000� square foot mixed-use building,
asphalt parking, utilities, and stormwater management practices.
Access to the site will be provided off of Driscoll Road.
ABD Engineers,LLP 3 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
According to the Saratoga County NRCS, the primary soil type is
silt loam. Test pits were performed to verify the soil conditions
throughout the site. The eastern portion of the site in the area of
development consists of fine sand with no mottling or groundwater
observed to a depth of 7-8 feet below grade. Soil conditions
transition to a sandy/silty loam more to the west beyond the extents
of the proposed project. These areas contained mottling which
indicates the presence of high groundwater. As a result, the
infiltration systems will be located in the eastern sandy soils.
Percolation and infiltration tests resulted in average rates ranging
from 5 minutes per inch on the east end to 48 minutes per inch on
the west end. The stormwater management system is designed
based on a conservative infiltration rate of 4 in/hr (1" in 15
minutes). The site currently drains east ultimately to existing
culverts under Driscoll Road.
Soil disturbing activities include cuts and fills to produce suitable
grades for construction of the referenced components. Installation
of utilities will require trench excavation and back�lling. An area of
about 2.1� acres will be disturbed during construction.
1.5 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
See Stormwater Management Report.
1.SA STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Bi PLANNING PER CHAPTER 3&4 OF THE
NYSDEC STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DESIGN MANUAL AUGUST
2015
a. Site planning to preserve natural features and reduce impervious cover;
The development is mainly limited to flat and wooded areas. Impervious
surfaces included in the proposed project are building rooftop, driveway,
and parking. Infiltration is used to recharge the groundwater as in the pre-
development condition.
b. Calculation of the Water Quality Volume for the Site; The water quality
volume calculation has been provided in the referenced stormwater
management report and meets NYSDEC stormwater regulations. The
water quality volume has been provided based on RRV due to the soils
and topography of the site. The onsite soil type is sand silty loam and has
capacity for the use of infiltration practices.
c. Incorporation of Green Infrastructure Techniques and Standard SMP's
with RunoffReduction Volume (RRv) Capacity; Stormwater from the
developed area will be treated through the use of infiltration and meets
ABD Engineers,LLP 4 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
WQv and RRV requirements. The design utilizes underground infiltration
systems which will detain and treat runoff from up to a 100-year storm.
d. Design of Volume and PeakRate Control Practices; This project meets or
exceeds NYSDEC stormwater regulations. Calculations and further
discussions are attached to the stormwater management report prepared
for this project. Stormwater draining to the infiltration practices will be
treated and will infiltrate into the soils.
1.6 SEQUENCE OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES
The following is the general sequence of construction that will occur on the
site. Refer to the phasing plan on the site plans.
1.61 Site Preparation. Silt fence will be installed all along the
descending slopes of the limits of grading and at any other location
where siltation may occur. The silt fence shall remain in place until
all areas being served are stabilized. A temporary construction
entrance shall be established to capture mud and debris from
construction vehicles before they enter public roads. Clearing and
earth disturbance shall be limited to that necessary to install
temporary sediment control measures.
1.62 Rough Grading. Trees and other vegetation will be removed from
areas to be disturbed. Some topsoil stripping and stockpiling will
take place to be used later in landscaped areas. Earthmoving to
grade the site to approved�nish grades may then occur. Any
additional required silt fence will be installed. There shall not be
more than five (5) acres of disturbed soil at any one time without
prior written approval from the Department of Environmental
Conservation.
1.63 Building Site Preparation. The location of the building will be
graded to establish the �nished floor elevation. The construction of
the building will occur concurrently with the remaining site work.
1.64 Utility Installation. Water, sewer, utilities, and drainage facilities
will be installed once subgrades are established and fills are
compacted.
1.65 Paving. Driveway and parking will be paved.
1.66 Landscaping. Topsoil will be spread on areas to be landscaped
and areas will be planted/seeded in accordance with the plans. All
disturbed areas must be stabilized. In areas where soil disturbance
activity has temporarily or permanently ceased, the application of
soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next
business day and completed within fourteen (14) days from the
date the current soil disturbance activity ceased.

1.7 NAME OF RECEIVING WATERS
The nearest surface body of water is a tributary to the Kayaderosseras
Creek Stormwater from the proposed site will infiltrate and recharge
groundwater onsite.
2.0 CONTROLS
2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS. STABILIZATION PRACTICES.
Disturbed areas within the limits of grading will be stabilized by
planting/seeding and mulching. Where seeding stabilization is needed,
perennial rye grass applied at a rate of 150 pounds per acre may be used.
All seeded areas are then to be mulched using straw mulch at a rate of 2 ton
per acre. If anchoring of the straw mulch is needed, wood fiber mulch may
then be applied at a rate of 500 pounds per acre.
2.2 STRUCTURAL PRACTICES.
Silt fence or straw bale dikes will be placed on the downhill side of
exposed slopes and trenches before clearing or excavation take place. The
silt fence shall be Marafi 100X geotextile fabric, or equal, attached to
2"x2" minimum wooden stakes as per manufacturer's recommendations as
shown on the "Erosion and Sediment Control Details". It shall remain and
be inspected and maintained until the site is stabilized. Maintenance shall
be performed as needed, and sediment material removed when "bulges"
develop in the silt fence. Inspections of the straw bale dikes shall be
frequent, and repair replacements shall be made promptly as needed. Silt
barriers will also be installed in the flow line of drainage channels and
ditches. Erosion control barriers will be supplemented as necessary during
construction and will be maintained throughout the duration of site
construction activity by the Contractor.
Runoff will be directed away from excavated areas, and temporary swales
will be installed with a minimum grade of one percent. Stabilization shall
occur as soon as practicable.
Watering of excavation and fill areas to minimize wind erosion during
construction should be accomplished as required.
Stabilization in areas where soil disturbance has temporarily or
permanently ceased must be initiated by the end of the next business day
and completed within fourteen (14) days. During winter construction from
November 15 to the following April 1, the application of soil stabilization
measures should be initiated by the end of the next business day and
completed within three(3) days, in areas where soil disturbance activity
has temporarily or permanently ceased.
ABD Engineers,LLP 6 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
At any location where surface runoff from disturbed or graded areas may
flow off the construction area,temporary sediment control measures must
be installed to prevent sediment from traveling off site. No grading, filling,
or other disturbance is allowed within existing drainage swales.
At the end of each workday during earthwork, operators shall grade all
areas to temporary sediment trap(s). Temporary sediment traps shall be
dewatered after all rainfall events if captured water does not in�ltrate
within 24 hours after the end of rainfalL Traps should be dewatered to
sediment bags located in relatively level areas, preferably undisturbed
areas of native vegetation. At no time shall a basin be dewatered directly
to a stream or wetland.
Every 7-calendar day, a qualified inspector will inspect all erosion control
measures employed during construction activities to measure proper
performance. The inspection will include taking digital photos of all
E&SC measures needing corrective action as well as digital photos with
date stamp of the corrected work Any points of stormwater discharge
from the site are also to be observed during the site inspections and
condition reported.
In areas where construction would take place in"wet soils", curtain drains
or subsurface drainage will be installed to de-water the soils.
Construction vehicle traffic will be directed so as to avoid steep slopes and
areas to remain vegetated to the maximum extent practicable. The
Contractor will be held responsible for any soil exposure and/or erosion
that occurs outside the defined limits of work and haul roads, and will
immediately install erosion control measures and stabilize disturbed areas.
Furthermore, any fines that could arise as a result of improper
implementation of this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
will be the responsibility of the Contractor. Only the owner or his
designated representative will have the authority to authorize Contractor-
requested disturbance beyond the limits on these plans. Any applicant-
authorized changes will require signatory certification using the form in
this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
To prevent sediment-laden water from entering the storm drain system
through the inlets, all catch basins will be protected by the "fabric barrier
drop inlet protection" practice until the drainage areas served by these
catch basins are stabilized. The fabric barrier shall be inspected after each
rain event and repairs made as needed. Sediment shall be removed as
necessary and disposed of properly.
ABD Engineers,LLP 7 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
Locate temporary topsoil stockpiles in areas, which do not receive direct
runoff from swales or streams. The temporary topsoil stockpiles shall be
protected with diversion swales if necessary. Locate temporary topsoil
stockpile areas beyond proposed grading activities. To minimize erosion
potential, enclose temporary topsoil stockpile areas with silt fencing. Seed
temporary topsoil stockpile areas to reduce erosion if stored for prolonged
periods.
All silt or sediment accumulations will be cleaned from stormwater quality
management basins.
All temporary sediment traps and all drainage swales will be kept free of
debris and litter, and the vegetation should be maintained to allow
unobstructed flow of stormwater.
Any slopes or embankments, which have damaged vegetation, will be
reseeded as necessary.
All grass swale areas will be mowed so as to facilitate unobstructed flow
of stormwater.
2.3 OTHER CONTROLS
2.31 Waste Disposal
2.311 Waste Materials:
All waste materials generated during site preparation
and construction will be disposed of at a suitable
landfill, transfer station or C & D landfill. The
contractors shall inspect for and have litter picked up
on a daily basis.
2.312 Hazardous Waste
The proj ect will not be a generator of hazardous
waste and it is not anticipated that any hazardous
waste will be generated during construction. If there
are any materials generated, a licensed hazardous
waste carrier will be contracted to dispose of the
hazardous material at a suitable disposal site. If
hazardous materials are discovered during
construction, the work will be stopped until the issue
is resolved.
2.313 Sanitary Waste
Portable sanitary facilities will be made available to
construction personnel and will be serviced regularly.
ABD Engineers,LLP 8 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
2.32 Offsite Vehicle Tracking.
Earthwork equipment involved with the construction will
remain on the project site and will not regularly egress or
ingress the site. Any trucks used to bring in materials or
remove materials will do so over a stabilized construction
entrance so as to capture mud and debris before they enter
the public highway. The stabilized construction entrance
shall be 50 feet minimum in length by 24 feet minimum in
width. Typar 3401, or equal, �lter cloth will be placed over
the entire area prior to the placement of 6 inches of 2" stone.
The entrance shall be maintained in a condition that will
prevent tracking, or flowing of sediment onto public rights-
of-way. This may require periodic top dressing with
additional stone as conditions demand. Periodic inspection
and needed maintenance shall be provided after each rain. If
significant off-site vehicle tracking begins to occur, the
contractor will be directed to institute a regular street
sweeping program in the vicinity of the site.
3.0 TIMING OF CONTROLS/MEASURES
Prior to commencement of construction activity, Owner or operator must
identify the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) that will be responsible for
installing, constructing, repairing, replacing, inspecting and maintaining the
erosion and sediment control practices within this SWPPP. Temporary
structural erosion controls will be installed prior to earthwork as per the
aforementioned plans.
The Owner shall have a quali�ed inspector conduct an assessment of the
site prior to the commencement of construction, and certify in an
inspection report that the appropriate erosion and sediment controls
described in this SWPPP have been adequately installed or implemented
to ensure overall preparedness of the site for the commencement of
construction.
The Owner shall maintain a record of all inspection reports in a site
logbook The site logbook shall be maintained on site and made available

5.0 MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURES
5.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PRACTICES
These are the inspections and maintenance practices that will be used to
maintain erosion and sediment controls:
■ A trained individual, appointed by the Contractor's construction
manager, will supervise day to day activities on the site during soil
disturbing activities. A qualified inspector, appointed by the Owner,
will make at least one weekly inspection every 7-calandar days of
erosion control devices, as well as inspections with site photographs.
■ All measures will be maintained in good working order and be fully
operationaL If repair is necessary, it will be initiated within 24 hours of
discovery.
■ A qualified inspector must look for evidence of the soil erosion on the
site, potential of pollutants entering drainage systems, problems at
discharge points (such as turbidity in receiving water), and signs of soil
and mud transport from the site to the public road at the entrance.
■ Silt fence maintenance shall be performed as needed, and sediment
material removed when"bulges" develop in the silt fence.
■ Built up sediment will be removed from silt fence if it ever reaches one-
third the height of the structural control.
ABD Engineers,LLP 13 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
■ Silt fence will be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, to see if the
fabric is securely attached to the fence posts, and to see that the fence
posts are firmly in the ground.
■ All temporary sediment traps should be inspected for stability and
integrity once a week and after any storm event. Any structural failure
in sediment traps or trenches that serve them will be repaired within 24
hours after detection.
■ All temporary sediment traps shall be pumped dry after all rainfall
events that cause water to accumulate in the basins. Basins shall be
dewatered to an undisturbed upland area or to a sediment bag.
■ All temporary sediment traps shall be cleaned out when one half the
design depth of the basin has accumulated. All spoils shall be removed
to a stabilized upland area.
■ The "fabric barrier drop inlet protection", put in at all catch basins to
keep sediment from entering the storm drain system, shall be inspected
after each rain event and repairs made as needed. Sediment shall be
removed as necessary and disposed of properly.
■ Stabilized construction entrance inspection and needed maintenance
shall be provided after each rain.
■ The trained individual shall inspect for and have litter picked up on a
daily basis.
■ Where seeding stabilization is needed, perennial ryegrass applied at a
rate of 150 pounds per acre may be used. All seeded areas are then to
be mulched using straw mulch at a rate of 2 ton per acre. If anchoring
of the straw mulch is needed, wood fiber mulch may then be applied at
a rate of 500 pounds per acre.
■ Seeded and planted areas will be inspected for bare spots, washouts and
healthy growth. If necessary, replanting, reseeding or sodding will be
implemented.
■ A maintenance inspection report will be made after each inspection.
Reports should be compiled and maintained on site.
5.2 NON-STORMWATER DISCHARGES
Any water collected in excavated areas will be pumped to a
sediment bag located in an upland area or a sediment trap. Once the
material is dewatered, sediment will be removed to an upland area.

Asphalt trucks shall not discharge surplus asphalt on the site.
6.3 SPILL CONTROL PRACTICES
In addition to the good housekeeping and material management
practices discussed in the previous sections of this plan, the following
practices will be implemented for spill prevention and cleanup:
■ Manufacturer's recommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly
posted and site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the
location of the information and cleanup supplies. Any spill in excess
or suspected to be in excess of two gallons will be reported to the
NYSDEC Spill Response Unit. Notification to NYSDEC (1-800-457-
7362) must be completed within two hours of the discovery of the
spill.
■ Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the
material storage area onsite. Equipment and materials will include but
not be limited to: absorbent pads, brooms, dust pans, mops, rags,
gloves, goggles, litter, sand, sawdust, and plastic and metal trash
containers specifically for this purpose.
■ All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery.
■ The spill area will be kept well ventilated and personnel will wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent injury from contact with
spilled substance.
■ Spills of toxic or hazardous material will be reported to the appropriate
State or local government agency, regardless of the size.
■ The spill prevention plan will be adjusted to include measures to
prevent this type of spill from reoccurring, and how to clean up the
spill if there is another one. A description of the spill, what caused it,
and the cleanup measures will also be included.
■ The contractor/trained individual will be the spill prevention and
cleanup coordinator. He will designate at least three other site
personnel who will receive spill prevention and cleanup training.
These individuals will each become responsible for a particular phase
of prevention and cleanup. The names of responsible spill personnel
will be posted in the material storage area on the onsite construction
office or trailer.

7.0 LONG TERM POST-CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
Once the site is completely stabilized, inspections will be performed at least twice
a year (after the spring thaw and in the fall) and after major rain events. Sediments
will be pumped out and/or removed based on the inspections. It will be the
responsibility of The Owner, his heirs or assigns, for documenting these
inspections and clean out work.
Post-construction regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance will be
necessary to ensure the permanent structural features, such as the stormwater
management practices and the conveyance system components, remain optimally
functional and continue to reduce the risk of sediment loading of surface water
bodies.
The Owner shall overtake responsibility of inspecting and maintaining drainage
and erosion control features over the lifetime of the structures and stormwater
components. Maintenance personnel, employed by the Owner, must be aware of
the SWPPP and should be trained to recognize signs that stabilization measures
may not be performing optimally or are failing. The inspection of on-site
stabilization measures will become part of routine preventative maintenance
practiced by the Owner and his employees. Inspection and maintenance should be
performed as described below.
Inspection
Overall Site Inspection
The overall site, embankments, and vegetation should be inspected regularly after
every major rain event and at least twice a year(after the spring thaw and in the
fall). The inspection should include but are not limited to:
1. Density and condition of vegetation and ground cover.
2. Erosion, differential settlement or cracking of embankment.
3. Bulging or sliding of toe of embankments.
4. Sedimentation of on-site or downstream water bodies.
5. Sedimentation of culverts or swales.
6. Sedimentation of lawn areas, paved areas.
7. Accumulation of pollutants, including oils or grease.
8. Damage of fatigue of storm associated components.

Maintenance
Overall Site Mc�intenance
Maintenance vegetative and structural measures for soil protection is necessary to
keep the storm water system functioning properly. Maintenance should occur on a
regular basis and should include but is not limited to:
Seasonal M�intenance
1. Vegetated areas should be maintained to promote vigorous and
dense growth. Lawn areas should be mowed at least three times a
year but may require more frequent mowing depending on the
growth rate.
2. Paved areas should be swept at least twice a year and in the early
spring for removal of deicing materials.
3. Accumulation of litter and debris should be removed during each
mowing or sweep operation.
4. Deficiencies with the structural components of the storm system
should be addressed immediately following identification.
5. Cleanout of accumulated sediments and debris should occur.
6. Basin and drainage way maintenance will include periodic
mowing, occasional spot reseeding and weed control. Weeds and
woody plants should be eradicated or cut back since they reduce
the drainage efficiency.
7. Signs of scour should be repaired. Weeds and brush growth should
be controlled as needed.
8. Sediment buildup within the pretreatment area is removed when
25% of the volume has been exceeded.
Winter Maintenc�nce
1. Remove snow and ice away from culvert end sections.
2. Use of deicing materials should be limited to sand and
environmentally friendly chemical products. Use of salt mixtures
should be kept to a minimum.
3. Sand used for deicing should be clean, course material free of
fines, silt, and clay.
4. Materials used for deicing should be removed during the early
spring by sweeping and/or vacuuming.
ABD Engineers,LLP 19 Nl�zxed-tlse Bz�ilding
5190A-SWPPP 1 Driscoll Road
Stormwater Mana�ement Basin Mc�intenance
l. Side slope, embankments, inlets and overflow spillways should be
mowed at least three times a year but may require more frequent
mowing depending on the growth rate.
2. Accumulation of litter and debris should be removed during each
mowing or sweep operation.
3. Structural components of the basin which require repair or
replacement should be addressed immediately following
identification.
4. Stormwater management areas should be monitored periodically
for sediment accumulation. Sediments should be removed after
25% of the water quality volume capacity has been lost or when
inlets/outlets become clogged or restricted.
5. Spillways should be cleared of obstructions.
6. Inlet/outlet riprap damage due to scour be repaired.
7. Stormwater Management Facilities shall be inspected and
maintained at a minimum as specified in the NYSDEC Stormwater
Management Design Manual.
Unde���ound Infilt�ato� Chamber Maintenance
1. Isolator Row should be inspected annually at a minimum. Refer to
the O&M Manual in Appendix D.
2. Catch basin grates should be free of litter and debris to allow
unobstructed flow of runoff down into the system.
3. Standing water within the chambers should completely drain
within 48 hours. In the event the infiltration capacity has been
compromised, the underlying stone and fabric may need to be
replaced.

STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION AREA SEEDING
Definition & Scope
Providing temporary erosion control protection to disturbed
areas and/or localized critical areas for an interim period by
covering all bare ground that exists as a result of
construction activities or a natural event. Critical areas may
include but are not limited to steep excavated cut or fill
slopes and any disturbed, denuded natural slopes subject to
erosion.
Conditions Where Practice Applies
Temporary seedings may be necessary on construction sites
to protect an area, or section, where final grading is
complete, when preparing for winter work shutdown, or to
provide cover when permanent seedings are likely to fail
due to mid -summer heat and drought. The intent is to
provide temporary protective cover during temporary
shutdown of construction and/or while waiting for optimal
planting time.
Criteria
Water management practices must be installed as
appropriate for site conditions. The area must be rough
graded and slopes physically stable. Large debris and rocks
are usually removed. Seedbed must be seeded within 24
hours of disturbance or scarification of the soil surface will
be necessary prior to seeding.
Fertilizer or lime are not typically used for temporary
seedings.
IF: Spring or summer or early fall, then seed the area with
ryegrass (annual or perennial) at 30 lbs. per acre
(Approximately 0.7 lb./1000 sq. ft. or use 1 lb./1000 sq. ft.).
IF: Late fall or early winter, then seed Certified
`Aroostook' winter rye (cereal rye) at 100 lbs. per acre (2.5
lbs./1000 sq. ft.).
Any seeding method may be used that will provide uniform
application of seed to the area and result in relatively good
soil to seed contact.
Mulch the area with hay or straw at 2 tons/acre (approx. 90
lbs./1000 sq. ft. or 2 bales). Quality of hay or straw mulch
allowable will be determined based on long term use and
visual concerns. Mulch anchoring will be required where
wind or areas of concentrated water are of concern. Wood
fiber hydromulch or other sprayable products approved for
erosion control (nylon web or mesh) may be used if applied
according to manufacturers' specification. Caution is
advised when using nylon or other synthetic products. They
may be difficult to remove prior to final seeding and can be
a hazard to young wildlife species.

STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
TOPSOILING
Definition & Scope
Spreading a specified quality and quantity of topsoil
materials on graded or constructed subsoil areas to provide
acceptable plant cover growing conditions, thereby
reducing erosion; to reduce irrigation water needs; and to
reduce the need for nitrogen fertilizer application.
Conditions Where Practice Applies
Topsoil is applied to subsoils that are droughty (low
available moisture for plants), stony, slowly permeable,
salty or extremely acid. It is also used to backfill around
shrub and tree transplants. This standard does not apply to
wetland soils.
Design Criteria
1. Preserve existing topsoil in place where possible,
thereby reducing the need for added topsoil.
2. Conserve by stockpiling topsoil and friable fine
textured subsoils that must be stripped from the
excavated site and applied after final grading where
vegetation will be established. Topsoil stockpiles must
be stabilized. Stockpile surfaces can be stabilized by
vegetation, geotextile or plastic covers. This can be
aided by orientating the stockpile lengthwise into
prevailing winds.
3. Refer to USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service
soil surveys or soil interpretation record sheets for
further soil texture information for selecting
appropriate design topsoil depths.
Site Preparation
1. As needed, install erosion and sediment control
practices such as diversions, channels, sediment traps,
and stabilizing measures, or maintain if already
installed.
2. Complete rough grading and final grade, allowing for
depth of topsoil to be added.
3. Scarify all compact, slowly permeable, medium and
fine textured subsoil areas. Scarify at approximately
right angles to the slope direction in soil areas that are
steeper than 5 percent. Areas that have been overly
compacted shall be decompacted in accordance with
the Soil Restoration Standard.
4. Remove refuse, woody plant parts, stones over 3 inches
in diameter, and other litter.
Topsoil Materials
1. Topsoil shall have at least 6 percent by weight of fine
textured stable organic material, and no greater than 20
percent. Muck soil shall not be considered topsoil.
2. Topsoil shall have not less than 20 percent fine textured
material (passing the NO. 200 sieve) and not more than
15 percent clay.
3. Topsoil treated with soil sterilants or herbicides shall
be so identified to the purchaser.
4. Topsoil shall be relatively free of stones over 1 1/2
inches in diameter, trash, noxious weeds such as nut
sedge and quackgrass, and will have less than 10
percent gravel.
5. Topsoil containing soluble salts greater than 500 parts
per million shall not be used.
6. Topsoil may be manufactured as a mixture of a mineral
component and organic material such as compost.
Application and Grading
1. Topsoil shall be distributed to a uniform depth over the
area. It shall not be placed when it is partly frozen,
muddy, or on frozen slopes or over ice, snow, or
standing water puddles.
2. Topsoil placed and graded on slopes steeper than 5
percent shall be promptly fertilized, seeded, mulched,
and stabilized by "tracking" with suitable equipment.
3. Apply topsoil in the amounts shown in Table 4.7
below:

INTRODUCTION
An important component of any Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan is inspection and maintenance. The StormTech Isolator Row is
a technique to inexpensively enhance Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
removal and provide easy access for inspection and maintenance.
THE ISOLATOR ROW
The Isolator Row is a row of StormTech chambers, either SC-160LP,
SC -310, SC -310-3, SC -740, DC -780, MC -3500 or MC -4500 models,
that is surrounded with filter fabric and connected to a closely located
manhole for easy access. The fabric -wrapped chambers provide for
settling and filtration of sediment as storm water rises in the Isolator
Row and ultimately passes through the filter fabric. The open bottom
chambers and perforated sidewalls (SC -310, SC- 310-3 and SC -740
models) allow storm water to flow both vertically and horizontally out of
the chambers. Sediments are captured in the Isolator Row protecting
the storage areas of the adjacent stone and chambers from sediment
accumulation.
Two different fabrics are used for the Isolator Row. A woven geotextile
fabric is placed between the stone and the Isolator Row chambers.
The tough geotextile provides a media for storm water filtration and
provides a durable surface for maintenance operations. It is also
designed to prevent scour of the underlying stone and remain intact
during high pressure jetting. A non -woven fabric is placed over the
chambers to provide a filter media for flows passing through the
perforations in the sidewall of the chamber. The non -woven fabric is not
required over the SC-160LP, DC -780, MC -3500 or MC -4500 models as
these chambers do not have perforated side walls.
The Isolator Row is typically designed to capture the "first flush" and
offers the versatility to be sized on a volume basis or flow rate basis.
An upstream manhole not only provides access to the Isolator Row but
typically includes a high flow weir such that storm water flowrates or
volumes that exceed the capacity of the Isolator Row overtop the over
flow weir and discharge through a manifold to the other chambers.
The Isolator Row may also be part of a treatment train. By treating
storm water prior to entry into the chamber system, the service life can
be extended and pollutants such as hydrocarbons can be captured.
Pre-treatment best management practices can be as simple as
deep sump catch basins, oil -water separators or can be innovative
storm water treatment devices. The design of the treatment train and
selection of pretreatment devices by the design engineer is often
driven by regulatory requirements. Whether pretreatment is used or not,
the Isolator Row is recommended by StormTech as an effective means
to minimize maintenance requirements and maintenance costs.
Note: See the StormTech Design Manual for detailed information on
designing inlets for a StormTech system, including the Isolator Row.
Looking down the Isolator Row from the
manhole opening, woven geotextile is shown
between the chamber and stone base.

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCI
INSPECTION
The frequency of inspection and maintenance varies by location. A
routine inspection schedule needs to be established for each individual
location based upon site specific variables. The type of land use (i.e.
industrial, commercial, residential), anticipated pollutant load, percent
s
imperviousness, climate, etc. all play a critical role in determining the
actual frequency of inspection and maintenance practices.
At a minimum, StormTech recommends annual inspections. Initially,
the Isolator Row should be inspected every 6 months for the first year
of operation. For subsequent years, the inspection should be adjusted
based upon previous observation of sediment deposition.
The Isolator Row incorporates a combination of standard manhole(s) and strategically located inspection ports
(as needed). The inspection ports allow for easy access to the system from the surface, eliminating the need to
perform a confined space entry for inspection purposes.
If upon visual inspection it is found that sediment has accumulated, a stadia rod should be inserted to
determine the depth of sediment. When the average depth of sediment exceeds 3 inches throughout the length
of the Isolator Row, clean-out should be performed.
MAINTENANCE
The Isolator Row was designed to reduce the cost of periodic maintenance. By "isolating" sediments to just
one row, costs are dramatically reduced by eliminating the need to clean out each row of the entire storage
bed. If inspection indicates the potential need for maintenance, access is provided via a manhole(s) located on
the end(s) of the row for cleanout. If entry into the manhole is required, please follow local and OSHA rules for a
confined space entries.
Maintenance is accomplished with the JetVac process. The JetVac process utilizes a high pressure water
nozzle to propel itself down the Isolator Row while scouring and suspending sediments. As the nozzle is
retrieved, the captured pollutants are flushed back into the manhole for vacuuming. Most sewer and pipe
maintenance companies have vacuum/JetVac combination vehicles. Selection of an appropriate JetVac nozzle
will improve maintenance efficiency. Fixed nozzles designed for culverts or large diameter pipe cleaning are
preferable. Rear facing jets with an effective spread of at least 45" are best. Most JetVac reels have 400 feet
of hose allowing maintenance of an Isolator Row up to 50 chambers long. The JetVac process shall only
be performed on StormTech Isolator Rows that have AASHTO class 1 woven geotextile (as specified by
StormTech) over their angular base stone.

Note: Non -woven fabric is only required over the inlet pipe connection into the end cap for SC-160LP, DC -780, MC -3500 and MC -4500 chamber
models and is not required over the entire Isolator Row.
