(SWPPP) is prepared to inform the landowner and construction personnel of the measures to be implemented for controlling runoff and pollutants from the site during and after construction activities. The objective of this plan is to comply with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities , Permit No. GP- 0-15-002 requirements. Any material conflicts between this plan and the site plans, specification or instructions, must be brought to the attention of the design professional. The project may have other permits and it is the responsibility of the owner and contractor to know and understand all permits. The operator will be issued a bill from New York State for a one hundred and ten dollar ($110.00) annual fee for the open GP-0-20-001 permit. The operator will also be billed by New York State for a one time one hundred and ten dollar ($110.00) per acre fee for the proposed disturbed soil area listed in the NOI, and finally a one time six hundred and seventy five ($675.00) per acre fee for the proposed increased impervious area listed in the NOI. The operator is responsible to maintain onsite in a secure location that is accessible during normal working hours to an individual performing a compliance inspection, the following information: ✓ the Notice of Intent (NOI), ✓ the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation NOI Acknowledgement Letter, ✓ the SWPPP, ✓ a copy of the General Permit (included in the SWPPP), ✓ MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form (where applicable), and ✓ All inspection reports. All post-construction stormwater management facilities must be inspected annually by a qualified professional, a report prepared and submitted to the City Engineer documenting the inspections as well as the maintenance activities that were comple ted during the prior year. Technical standards are detailed in the “New York State Standards and Specifications for Sediment and Erosion and Sediment Control (November 2016)”, as well as illustrated on the Construction Drawings included in Appendix C. The design of post- construction stormwater control practices follow the guidance provided by “New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual.” Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 2 2.0 SWPPP REVIEW, UPDATE 2.1 SWPPP Review Applicable Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies that have jurisdiction may elect to review this SWPPP and notify the permittee in writing that the SWPPP does not meet the requirements of their regulations. If the SWPPP needs to be revised, the permittee and the site contractor will make the required modifications within seven days of such notification and submit written certification to the notifying agency that the changes have been implemented. A copy of the SWPPP will be kept available on site for review by regulatory agencies, engineers, and subcontractors. This Project is in the City of Saratoga Springs which is a regulated MS4 Community, so a copy of this SWPPP was sent to the City for review. A copy of the signed MS4 Acceptance form is provided in Appendix A of this SWPPP. 2.2 SWPPP Update The permittee identified in this SWPPP shall amend the SWPPP under the following conditions: ✓ Whenever the current provisions prove to be ineffective in minimizing pollutants in stormwater discharge from the site ✓ Whenever there is a change in design, construction or operation that could have an effect on the discharge of pollutants ✓ To address issues or deficiencies identified during an inspection by the qualified inspector, the Department or other regulatory authority ✓ To identify a new subcontractor that will implement any part of the SWPPP. If modifications are required to the post-stormwater management practices and the Project is within a regulated, traditional land use control MS4, the owner or operator of the Project must notify the MS4 in writing of any planned amendments or modifications to the post-construction stormwater management practice component of the SWPPP. Unless otherwise notified by the MS4, the owner or operator shall have the SWPPP amendments or modifications reviewed and a ccepted by the MS4 prior to commencing construction of the post-construction stormwater management practice. The SWPPP PLAN CHANGES, AUTHORIZATION, AND CHANGE CERTIFICATION form (Appendix E) must be filled out and a copy retained onsite during construction. If modifications are required to the post-stormwater management practices and the Project is not within a Regulated, Traditional Land Use Control MS4, the changes shall be documented in the SWPPP kept onsite. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 3 3.0 SITE ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION AND PLANNING 3.1 Project Location The Project is located at 500 Union Avenue in the City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, NY 12866. Access to the site is off of Union Avenue. See Appendix C for a general site location map. 3.2 Pre-Development Conditions The site currently operates two buildings as a restaurant and hotel. There is a parking lot to the south of the two buildings, with a drive that runs between them and terminates at a drop off circle on the north side of the main restaurant building. There are lawn areas as well as drywells on site. 3.3 Project Type This project is a mixture of new development and redevelopment. Any increases in impervious area at the site have been designed in accordance with Chapter 4 of the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual and NYSDEC’s General Permit (GP-0-20-001) for construction activities. All existing impervious area to be disturbed has been designed in accordance with Chapter 9 of the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual. 3.4 Project Scope The Project scope includes the demolition of the restaurant portion o f the main building on site, and reconstruction in its place a new building with hotel rooms and a banquet hall. There is a section of existing hotel rooms which will remain protected on the north side and will be reconnected to the new building. The standalone hotel building to the west will remain with indoor renovations, and the addition of a new swimming pool on the northwest corner. Minor pavement and walk improvements will be made, as well as a new patio area between the buildings. An existing gravel drive will also be improved on the east side of the main restaurant building. The Project Site represents the area that will be disturbed as a result of the Project. 3.5 Historic Preservation Determination/Endangered Species The project area is not within an area that might possibly contain archeologically sensitive resources. A letter stating no effect is provided in Appendix G. The Project will have no impact on any listed, proposed to be listed, threatened or endangered species, or a critical habitat. The environmental resource map is provided in Appendix G and indicates we are not within these areas. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 4 3.6 Receiving Waters The Site drains to an existing offsite wetland area to the northwest of the project site and eventually to Lake Lonely. 3.7 Soils According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, the area including and surrounding the Project Site is comprised of Windsor loamy sand. The hydrological soil group classification for this type of soil is ‘A’. A geotechnical report was performed for the project site by Vernon Hoffman PE, Soil and Foundation Engineering, dated February 2, 1999. The results of this report are included in Appendix B and indicated sandy soils with a depth to groundwater of 12.5’ or deeper. This is congruent with the results of the NRCS soil survey. 4.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL 4.1 Erosion and Sediment Control Practices Temporary Structural Practices ✓Silt Fence ✓Dust Control ✓Stabilized Construction Entrance Permanent Structural Controls ✓Grading Temporary Stabilization Practices (including vegetative practices) ✓Seed and mulch bare soil areas within 14 days of disturbance unless construction will resume in that area within 21 days. Permanent Stabilization Practices (including vegetative practices) ✓Seed and mulch all disturbed areas. Slopes that are 3:1 or steeper should receive a Rolled Erosion Control Product (RECP), sodding, and or hydro- seeding a homogenous mixture of wood fiber mulch with tackifying agent. Refer to Construction Drawings attached in Appendix C for detailed information on each practice. 4.2 Erosion and Sediment Control Drawings Erosion and Sediment Control practices are shown on Construction Drawings included in Appendix C. 4.3 Construction Phasing Plan and Sequence of Operations Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 5 ✓ Temporary structural erosion controls will be installed prior to earthwork as per the attached plans. ✓ Areas to be undisturbed for more than 14 days will be temporarily stabilized by seeding. ✓ Disturbed areas will be reseeded and mulched immediately after final contours are re-established and no more than 14 days after the completion of construction at that site. ✓ Temporary erosion control devices will not be removed until the area served is stabilized by the growth of vegetation and the area is certified as being stabilized by the Erosion Control Superintendent. Construction Activities Reference Sheet Number Start → Stop Sequence must include major items such as, but not limited to, clearing and grubbing, excavation and grading, utility and infrastructure installation and any other activity resulting in soil disturbance.

This may require periodic top dressing with additional aggregate. All sediment tracked onto or spilled on public rights of way shall be removed immediately. When necessary, wheels must be cleaned to remove sediment prior to entra nce on public rights of way. When washing is required, it shall be done in an area stabilized with aggregate and wash water shall be directed away from streams or wetlands preferably to a broad grassed area or a stormwater pond. ✓ Replace top-soil, mulch and seed where seeding has been disturbed. 4.5 Erosion and Sediment Control Inspection ▪ It is recommended that a rain gage be installed at the site. ▪ A qualified inspector shall 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 the SWPPP and required by GP-0-20-001 have been adequately installed to ensure overall preparedness of the site for commencement of construction. ▪ This qualified inspector must be a Licensed Professional Engineer, Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), Registered Landscape Architect, or someone working under the direct supervision of, and at the same company as, the licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Landscape Architect, provided they have received 4 hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion and sediment control principles from a Soil and Water Conservation District, or other Department endorsed entity. After receiving the initial training, the qualified inspector shall receive 4 hours of training every 3 years. ▪ The day-to-day erosion control activities on the site will be monitored by the construction manager. The qualified inspector (as defined by the NYS DEC SPDES regulations) and their crews will make at least one inspection every seven (7) days of erosion control devices, and non-stabilized areas during construction. A maintenance inspection report will be completed by the qualified inspector after each inspection. The report form to be completed by the inspector is attached in Appendix D. Reports should be compiled and maintained on-site in the SWPPP 3-ring binder. ▪ All measures will be maintained in good working order; if repair is necessary, it will be initiated within 24 hours of report. The qualified inspector shall take photographs of any needed repairs and also photograph when the repairs are completed. These photographs will Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 7 be time and date stamped and attached to the weekly inspection report. ▪ Seeded and planted areas will be inspected for bare spots, washouts, and healthy growth. If necessary, spot reseeding or sodding will be implemented. ▪ A trained contractor will be an employee from the contracting company responsible for the implementation of the SWPPP. This person will be onsite when any soil disturbing activities are being conducted. The trained contractor must have received 4 hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion and sediment control principles from a Soil and Water Conservation District, or other Department endorsed entity. After receiving the initial training, the qualified inspector shall receive 4 hours of training every 3 years. This trained contractor cannot conduct the regular SWPPP compliance inspections unless they meet the qualified inspector qualifications. 4.6 Contractor Sequence Form The operator shall prepare a summary of construction status using the Construction Sequence Form (included in Appendix E) once every month. Significant deviations to the sequence and reasons for those deviations (i.e. weather, subcontractor availability, etc.), shall be noted by the contractor. The schedule shall be used to record the dates for initiation of construction, implementation of erosion control measures, stabilization, etc. A copy of this table will be maintained at the construction site and updated. 5.0 POST CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 5.1 Stormwater Management Controls The proposed Post Construction Stormwater Management controls on this project are listed below: ✓ Underground Infiltration Chambers 5.2 Green Infrastructure Practices/Runoff Reduction Techniques The proposed Green Infrastructure practices or Standard Management practices with Runoff Reduction capabilities on this project are listed below: ✓ Underground Infiltration Chambers The provided runoff reduction volume is 0.064 ac-ft, which is greater than the required water quality volume, 0.031 ac-ft. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 8 Soil Restoration Excessively compacted areas and areas of cut and fill on the Project Site will have soil restoration applied as needed and as specified in the table below. Attached in Appendix H is “Deep Ripping and De-compaction, (DEC 2008).” This methodology should be followed for soil restoration as specified in the table below: • If compost amendment is required, 2 to 4 inches of screened compost will be incorporated into the soil. • Prior to application of the deep-ripping and de-compaction, the depth to bedrock or naturally occurring hardpan should be known so that the depth of tillage be adjusted according to those restrictive depths. • Soils with a slope that exceeds 10% will not have full soil restoration with deep-ripping and de-compaction due to potential for erosion from tilled soil. • Any soil tillage (deep or shallow) will not be done on soils that are excessively wet, as this will damage the soil. • Any tillage will not be done within approximately 10’ of the drip -line of any existing established trees. • Any large stones that are unearthed during tillage should be removed from the surface prior to final surface preparation and vegetation establishment. Type of Soil Disturbance Comments/Examples Minimal Soil Disturbance Preservation of Natural Features Areas where topsoil is stripped only-no change in grade Clearing and Grubbing HSG A& B HSG C & D apply 6 inches of topsoil Aerate* and apply 6 inches of topsoil HSG A& B HSG C & D Aerate and apply 6 inches of topsoil Apply full Soil Restoration** Areas where Runoff Reduction and/or infiltration practices are applied Keep construction equipment from crossing these areas. To protect newly installed practice from any ongoing construction activities construct a single phase operation fence area. **Per "Deep Ripping and Decopmpaction, DEC 2008" *Aeration includes the use of machines such as tractor-drawn implements with coulters making a narrow slit in the soil, a roller with many spikes making indentations in the soil, or prongs which function like a mini-subsoiler Restoration not permitted Restoration not required Soil Restoration Requirement Restoration not required, but may be applied to enhance the reduction specified for appropriate practices Areas of cut and fill Heavy traffic areas onsite (especially in a zone 5-25 feet around buildings, but not within a 5 foot perimeter around foundation walls) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 9 5.3 Post Construction Stormwater Management Drawings Post construction stormwater management controls are shown on Construction Drawings included in Appendix C. 5.4 Hydraulic and Hydrologic Analysis The program utilized for quantifying stormwater runoff rates and volumes was HydroCAD software, produced by Applied Microcomputer Systems of Chocorua, NH. The SCS 24-hour Type II design storms for 1, 10, and 100-year frequency rainfall were analyzed. ✓ Hydrologic/hydraulic analysis for all structural components of the stormwater control system for the applicable design storms (see Appendix B). ✓ Comparison of post-development stormwater runoff conditions with pre- development conditions (see Appendix B). ✓ Dimensions, material specifications and installation details for each post- construction stormwater control practice (see Appendix B and C). 5.5 Comparison of Pre and Post Construction Stormwater Runoff Stormwater Quantity. These calculations are based on the HydroCAD analysis.

All post-construction stormwater management facilities must be inspected annually by a qualified professional, and a report prepared and submitted to the City Engineer documenting the inspections as well as the maintenance activities that were completed during the previous year. The City of Saratoga Springs shall approve a formal maintenance and inspection agreement in accordance with City Code Chapter 242 for stormwater management facilities to ensure the practices will be properly operated and maintained in accordance with the long term operation and maintenance plans. This agreement shall be binding on all subsequent land owners and recorded in the office of the County Clerk as a deed restriction on the property. Catch Basins (All) ▪ Sediment removal with a vacuum truck should be done at least once a year, preferably after spring runoff and then in early fall, or when they are at 50% capacity, whichever comes first. ▪ Any mechanical valves should be operated for inspection every two months. Underground Infiltration Chambers ▪ The systems should be inspected quarterly for the first year and if there are no problems, the system can be inspected annually after the first year. ▪ If sediment is accumulating on the bottom of the system, pump in water via a flushing port or observation well and then pump the sediment laden water out via the flushing port or the inlet. This can be done with a vacuum truck. The system may have to be flushed multiple times until it is clean of sediment. ▪ Also, the manifold feeding the pipe storage should be flushed by pumping water in the manhole access and out the flushing port. This should be done during the routine inspection. 7.0 CONSTRUCTION WASTE Waste Materials: All waste materials generated during construction will be disposed at a suitable landfill, or transfer station. Hazardous Waste: The project 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 11 dispose 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. Waste: Portable sanitary facilities will be made available to construction personnel and will be serviced regularly. 8.0 OFFSITE VEHICLE TRACKING Excavation 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 via municipal paved roads will do so over a stabilized construction entrance. If any off-site vehicle tracking occurs, the contractor will be directed to initiate, street sweeping program in the immediate vicinity of the site. 9.0 TEMPORARY STABILIZATION FOR FROZEN CONDITIONS The following temporary stabilization measures MUST be performed when construction is occurring during winter/frozen ground conditions. The following requirements do not supersede any other requirements of this SWPPP as they apply to non-frozen ground conditions. ▪ Perimeter erosion control MUST still be installed prior to earthwork disturbance as per this SWPPP. ▪ Any areas that cannot be seeded to turf by October 1 or earlier will receive a temporary seeding. The temporary seeding will consist of winter rye seeded at the rate of 120 pounds per acre (2.5 pounds per 1,000 square feet) or stabilized as per the temporary stabilization for winter construction/frozen conditions. ▪ Any area of disturbance that will remain inactive for a period of 14 consecutive days MUST be mulched. This includes any previously disturbed areas that are covered with snow. ▪ Mulch MUST consist of loose straw applied at the rate of 2 to 3 bales (90 to 100 pounds) per thousand square feet. ▪ Mulch MUST be applied uniformly over the area of bare soil or bare soil that is covered with snow. For the latter condition, mulch MUST be applied on top of snow. ▪ Using a tracked vehicle, mulch MUST be crimped into the bare soil/snow. The tracked vehicle MUST be driven across the mulched areas in at least two directions to maximize crimping of mulch into the soil/snow. ▪ If mulch gets blown off an area to a significant degree, the site inspector WILL require that an area be re-mulched in accordance with Items 2 through 5 above, and this area WILL be included on the inspection checklist for the next inspection. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 12 ▪ If a particular area repeatedly experiences loss of mulch due to wind, then the inspector WILL require that an alternative method be used to secure the mulch in place. Such alternatives may include the use of netting, tackifier or other methods deemed appropriate by the inspector. ▪ During periods when snow is melting and/or surface soils are thawing during daytime hours, mulched areas MUST be re-tracked (crimped) as per Item 5 above at least once every seven days, more frequently if directed by the inspector. Additional mulch may be required to obtain complete coverage of an area. Biodegradable erosion control matting may be required on steeper slopes. ▪ Additional stabilization measures for non-frozen ground conditions described in this SWPPP WILL be implemented at the time deemed appropriate by the inspector. During the winter season, if a site has been stabilized and soil disturbing activities have been suspended for the winter, weekly inspections can be suspended. However, monthly inspections must still be conducted. All normal weekly inspections must resume when soil disturbing activities resume. 10.0 SPILL PREVENTION PRACTICES Good Housekeeping and Material Management Practices The following good housekeeping and material management practices will be followed on site during the construction project to reduce the risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to stormwater runoff. ▪ Materials will be brought on site in the minimum quantities required. ▪ All materials stored on site will be stored in a neat, orderly manner in their appropriate containers, and if possible, under a roof or other enclosure. ▪ Products will be kept in their original containers with the original manufacturer’s label. ▪ Substances will not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the manufacturer. ▪ Whenever possible, all of a product will be used up before disposal. ▪ Manufacturer’s recommendations for proper use and disposal will b e followed. ▪ The construction manager or his designee will inspect regularly to ensure proper use and disposal of materials on site. ▪ The contractor shall prohibit washing of tools, equipment, and machinery in or within 100 feet of any watercourse or wetland. ▪ All above grade storage tanks are to be protected from vehicle damage by temporary barriers. Inventory for Pollution Prevention Plan Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 13 The materials and substances listed below are expected to be on-site during construction. ▪ Petroleum for fueling vehicles will be stored in above ground storage tanks.

Hydraulic oil and other oils will be stored in their original containers. Concrete and asphalt will be stored in the original delivery trucks. ▪ Fertilizer may be stored on site in its original container for a short period of time prior to seeding. Original containers will be safely piled on pallets or similar devices to protect from moisture. ▪ Paints and other similar materials will be stored in their original containers and all empty containers will be disposed of in accordance with label directions. ▪ Portable sanitary facilities, which contain chemical disinfectants (deodorants) will be located on-site, with the disinfectants held in the tank of the toilet. Hazardous Products These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous materials. ▪ Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not re- sealable. ▪ Original labels and material safety data sheets will be retained; they contain important product information. ▪ If surplus product must be disposed of, manufacturers’ or local and State recommended methods for proper disposal will be followed. Spill Prevention The following product specific practices will be followed on site. Petroleum Products: ▪ Construction personnel should be made aware that emergency telephone numbers are located in this SWPPP. ▪ The contractor shall immediately contact NYSDEC in the event of a spill, and shall take all appropriate steps to contain the spill, including construction of a dike around the spill and placing absorbent material over this spill. ▪ The contractor shall instruct personnel that spillage of fuels, oils, and similar chemicals must be avoided and will have arranged with a qualified spill remediation company to serve the site. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 14 ▪ Fuels, oils, and chemicals will be stored in appropriate and tightly capped containers. Containers shall not be disposed of on the project site. ▪ Fuels, oils, chemicals, material, equipment, and sanitary facilities will be stored/located away from trees and at least 100 feet from streams, wells, wet areas, and other environmentally sensitive sites. ▪ Dispose of chemical containers and surplus chemicals off the project site in accordance with label directions. ▪ Use tight connections and hoses with appropriate nozzles in all operations involving fuels, lubricating materials or chemicals. ▪ Use funnels when pouring fuels, lubricating materials or chemicals. ▪ Refueling and cleaning of construction equipment will take place in parking areas to provide rapid response to emergency situations. ▪ All on-site vehicles will be monitored for leaks and receive regular preventative maintenance to reduce the chance of leakage. Any vehicle leaking fuel or hydraulic fuel will be immediately scheduled for repairs and use will be discontinued until repairs are made. Fertilizers: ▪ Fertilizer will be stored in its original containers on pallets with water resistant coverings. ▪ Proper delivery scheduling will minimize storage time. ▪ Any damaged containers will be repaired immediately upon discovery and any released fertilizer recovered to the fullest extent practicable. Paints: ▪ All containers will be tightly sealed and stored when not required for use. ▪ Excess paint will not be discharged to the storm water system or wastewater system, but will be properly disposed of according to manufacturers’ instructions or State and local regulations. Concrete Trucks: ▪ Concrete trucks will be allowed to wash out or discharge surplus concrete or drum wash water only at designated locations on site. Asphalt Trucks: ▪ Asphalt trucks shall not discharge surplus asphalt on the site. 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 followed for spill Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 15 prevention and cleanup. The construction manager or site superintendent responsible for the day-to-day site operations 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 and in the onsite construction office or trailer. ▪ Manufacturers’ 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 Regional Spill Response Unit. Notification to the 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 inclu de but not be limited to absorbent pads, brooms, dust pans, mops, rags, gloves, goggles, activated clay, 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 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 500 Union Avenue The LA Group Project # 2021075 Page 16 11 .0 CERTIFICATIONS Preparer Certification of Compliance with Federal, State, and Local Regulations This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was prepared in accordance with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities (Permit No. GP-0-15-002), pursuant to Article 17, Titles 7, 8 and Article 70 of the Environmental Conservation Law.

Clearing activities can include, but are not limited to, logging equipment operation, the cutting and skidding of trees, tree removal, stump removal and/or brush removal. Construction activity does not include routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of a facility. Construction Phasing Plan - a plan designed to construct particular portions of an individual project at different times. Phasing is often used when a project is very large to limit the disturbance at a single time to 5 acres per phase. Erosion and Sediment Control Practices – temporary measures installed prior to construction and maintained during construction to temporarily treat any stormwater runoff. Once construction is completed and post-construction stormwater management practices are installed and the site is stabilized, the erosion and sediment control practices are removed from the site. Final Stabilization - means that all soil disturbance activities have ceased and a uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of eighty (80) percent over the entire pervious surface has been established; or other equivalent stabilization measures, such as permanent landscape mulches, rock rip-rap or washed/crushed stone have been applied on all disturbed areas that are not covered by permanent structures, concrete pavement. Green Infrastructure – in the context of stormwater management, the term green infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales to manage and treat stormwater, maintain and restore natural hydrology and ecological function by infiltration, evapotranspiration, capture and reuse of stormwater, and establishment of natural vegetative features. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed or ecoregion. On the local scale green infrastructure consist of site and neighborhood specific practices and runoff reduction techniques. Such practices essentially result in runoff reduction and or establishment of habitat areas with significant utilization of soils, vegetation, and engineered media rather than traditional hardscape collection, conveyance and storage structures. Some examples include green roofs, trees and tree boxes, pervious pavement, rain gardens, vegetated swales, planters, reforestation and protection and enhancement of riparian buffers and floodplains. Impervious Area (Cover) - means all impermeable surfaces that cannot effectively infiltrate rainfall. This includes paved, concrete and gravel surfaces (i.e. parking lots, driveways, roads, runways, and sidewalks); building rooftops, and miscellaneous impermeable structures such as patios, pools, and sheds.

The Project has been designed in accordance with Chapter 4 and Chapter 9 of the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual (SWMDM), and NYSDEC’s General Permit GP-0-20- 001 for construction activities. Stormwater calculations were performed utilizing widely accepted engineering methodologies, including TR-55, and the stormwater modeling computer program HydroCAD (version 10.00) produced by HydroCAD Software Solutions, LLC. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Site Location The Project is located at 500 Union Avenue in the City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, NY 12866. Access to the site is off of Union Avenue. 2.2 Project Description This Project involves the demolition of a portion of an existing building, replacement with a new building, and site improvements to pavement and walks. There is also a new patio area, and a new pool area that are part of the project. Improvements to site lighting, landscaping, stormwater control, and a new grease trap are also proposed. This project is considered a mixture of new development and redevelopment. Any increases in impervious area at the site have been designed in accordance with Chapter 4 of the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual and NYSDEC’s General Permit (GP-0-20-001) for construction activities. All existing impervious area to be disturbed has been designed in accordance with Chapter 9 of the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual. 2.3 Soil Conditions/Soil Testing According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, the area surrounding the Project Site is comprised of Windsor loamy sand. The hydrological soil group classifications for these soils is ‘A’. Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 5 2.4 Curve Numbers and Rainfall Data The surface cover for the project area is grass, buildings, and an impervious parking lot. The curve numbers utilized in the modeling were assigned based on cover type and HSG soil classification. The design storms used for the pre-development versus post-development comparison were the 1, 10, and 100-year, 24-hour duration, SCS Type II events. The rainfall amounts for these storms are 2.15, 3.75, and 6.20 inches, respectively. 3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Project area existing condition, for which this stormwater management plan is based, consists of two existing buildings, grass, and impervious parking lots, drives and sidewalks. Under the watershed’s existing condition, there is a closed drainage system which conveys flow to the northwest towards an existing wetland area, which is indicated as AP-1 or Analysis Point 1 on drawing “W-1 Existing Conditions Watershed Map,” located in Attachment B. Table 3-1 below provides a summary of the existing conditions peak discharge rates for the Project’s watershed. Table 3-1 Existing Conditions Peak Discharge Rates Analysis Point AP-1 Design Storm (cfs) 10-Year 13.05 100-Year 22.81 Refer to Attachment B for more information on the existing conditions watershed modeling. 4.0 PROPOSED CONDITIONS Under the watershed’s Proposed Condition, stormwater from the Project will continue to discharge to the same point as in the Existing Condition (Analysis Point 1). The total watershed has generally remained unchanged, as is shown on the drawing “W-2 Proposed Conditions Watershed Map” contained in Attachment C. To meet NYSDEC requirements (see Section 5.0 NYSDEC Design Criteria of this report) underground infiltration chambers have been incorporated into the stormwater management design to mitigate the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff discharged from the Project Site. Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 6 Table 4-1 below provides a summary of the existing conditions versus proposed conditions peak discharge rates for the Project’s watershed. Currently the site drains to existing drywells and other storm infrastructure. There is a relatively small increase in impervious area (6,500 sf+/-) relative to the entire site drainage area. An increase in impervious area will increase peak discharge rates inherently. As part of the site design, underground infiltration chambers are proposed to mitigate peak flow rates. The chambers are meant to provide an underground storage area that allows stormwater to infiltrate into the underlying soils, thus decreasing the peak discharge rate from the site. Refer to Attachment C for more information on the proposed conditions watershed modeling. 5.0 NYSDEC DESIGN CRITERIA The New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, dated January 2015 (The Manual) has been utilized to develop the stormwater management plan. The Manual includes a five-step process that involves site planning and stormwater management practice selection. The five steps include; • Site planning to preserve natural features and reduce impervious cover, • Calculation of the Water Quality Volume (WQv) for the Site, • Incorporation of green infrastructure techniques and standard SMPs with Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) capacity, • Use of standard SMPs where applicable, to treat the portion of WQv not addressed by green infrastructure techniques and standard SMPs with RRv capacity, and • Design of volume and peak rate control (where required) The approach of the stormwater management plan was to address the stormwater requirements separately. The five steps were reduced to Site Planning to Preserve Natural Features, Water Table 4-1 Existing Conditions Versus Proposed Conditions Peak Discharge Rates Analysis Point AP-1 Existing Proposed Design Storm (cfs) (cfs) 10-Year 13.05 12.41 100-Year 22.81 22.55 Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 7 Quality Volume, Runoff Reduction Volume, Channel Protection Volume, and Overbank Flood and Extreme Storm Attenuation, as discussed in the following sections. Attachment D of this report contains detailed calculations for determining and summarizing the required and provided volumes for Water Quality and Runoff Reduction. In general, the required design criteria (WQv and RRv) were calculated for all areas where site disturbance or green infrastructure techniques are proposed. 5.1 Site Planning to Preserve Natural Features Within Chapter 3 of The Manual, Table 3.1 Green Infrastructure Planning General Categories and Specific Practices includes a list of planning practices utilized in the planning and design of a project. There are two categories, Preservation of Natural Resources and Reduction of Imperious Cover. Preservation of Natural Resources includes: • Preservation of Undisturbed Areas • Preservation of Buffers • Reduction of Clearing and Grading • Locating Development in Less Sensitive Areas • Open Space Design • Soil Restoration Reduction of Impervious Cover includes: • Roadway Reduction • Sidewalk Reduction • Driveway Reduction • Cul-de-sac Reduction • Building Footprint Reduction • Parking Reduction A Natural Resource Map for Green Infrastructure Planning has been developed which indicates natural resource areas and critical environmental areas to be protected (where feasible). As required in Section 3.6 of The Manual, the map includes (where applicable): • Jurisdictional Wetlands o There is a wetland located to the northwest of the project site. No work is proposed in the wetland area. • Waterways o No waterways are impacted by the Project. • Wetland Adjacent Area Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 8 o This development will impact a NYSDEC wetland buffer. The appropriate permitting will be obtained for this work. • Floodplains o The project is not within the flood plain. • Forest, vegetative cover o No woods will be impacted by the Project. • Topography/Steep slopes o There are no steep slopes on site. • Existing soils, including hydrologic soil groups and soil erodibility o See Section 2.3 of this Report. • Drainage Patterns o See Section 3.0 of this Report. • Bedrock/Significant geological features o See Section 2.3 of this Report. 5.2 Water Quality Volume (WQv) The Water Quality Volume (WQv) requirement is designed to improve water quality sizing to capture and treat 90% of the average annual stormwater runoff volumes. The WQv is directly related to the amount of impervious cover created at a site. The following equation is used to determine the water quality storage volume. WQv = (P)(Rv)(A) 12 Where: WQv = Water quality volume (acre/feet) P = 90% Rainfall Event (1.15” for Saratoga Springs) Rv = 0.05 + 0.009(I) where I is percent impervious cover A = Site area in acres The project site is a mix of both redevelopment and new development. The redevelopment portion of the site includes areas where existing site features will be demolished and rebuilt. This project is located at an existing hotel / restaurant and is therefore largely considered redevelopment. The disturbed impervious area as part of this work is approximately 35,500 sf. The project includes changes to the drive aisle and a new building in place of where an existing one stands. The net increase in impervious area from predevelopment conditions is approximately 6,500 sf. The WQv calculation requires 100% treatment for new impervious areas, and 25% treatment for disturbed impervious areas (when using a standard practice). We are proposing the use of Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 9 underground infiltration chambers which are considered a standard practice. The calculated WQv for the new impervious area proposed is 0.0137 ac-ft, and the calculated value for the disturbed impervious area is 0.0185 ac-ft. The sum of these values is the total required water quality volume, or 0.0322 ac-ft. This has been rounded to 0.032 ac-ft for the purposes of this report. The required WQv will be provided by an underground infiltration chambers designed in accordance with the SWMDM. The chambers will treat approximately 30,500 sf of impervious area, resulting in a provided WQv of 0.064 ac-ft. Refer to Table 5-1 for a summary of the provided water quality volumes for the Project. Table 5-1 Water Quality Volume (WQv) Summary SMP Type Provided (ac-ft) SMP1 Underground Chambers 0.064 TOTAL 0.064 Refer to Attachment D for detailed WQv calculations. 5.3 Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) Section 4.3 of the Manual states, “Runoff reduction shall be achieved by infiltration, groundwater recharge, reuse, recycle, evaporation/evapotranspiration of 100 percent of the post - development water quality volumes to replicate pre-development hydrology by maintaining pre- construction infiltration, peak runoff flow, discharge volume, as well as minimizing concentrated flow by using runoff control techniques to provide treatment in a distributed manner before runoff reaches the collection system.” The Project achieves 100% runoff reduction of the on-site WQv of the project. Utilizing green infrastructure and stormwater management practices with RRv capabilities throughout the project an RRv of 0.042 acre-feet is provided. See Table 5-2 for a summary of the provided runoff reduction volumes for each green infrastructure practice. Table 5-2 Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) Summary SMP Provided (unit) 5.3.1 Conservation of Natural Areas - Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 10 5.3.2 Sheetflow to Riparian Buffers/Filter Strips - 5.3.3 Vegetated Open Swales - 5.3.4 Tree Planting/Tree Box - 5.3.5 Disconnection of Rooftop Runoff - 5.3.6 Stream Daylighting - 5.3.7 Rain Garden - 5.3.8 Green Roof - 5.3.9 Stormwater Planters - 5.3.10 Rain Tanks/Cisterns - 5.3.11 Porous Pavement - Underground Infiltration Chambers (SMP-1) 0.064 TOTAL 0.064 (ac-ft) Refer to Attachment D for detailed RRv calculations. 5.4 Channel Protection Volume (CPv) The required channel protection volume is achieved by reducing the CPv volume through green infrastructure practices. The required CPv is 898 cf, and the provided CPv is 2,772 cf. The CPv calculation is provided for reference in Attachment D. 5.5 Overbank Flood (Qp) and Extreme Flood (Qf) Attenuation The primary purpose of the Overbank Flood (Qp) control sizing criterion is to prevent an increase in the frequency and magnitude of out-of-bank flooding generated by urban development. It requires storage and attenuation of the 10-year, 24-hour storm to ensure post- development peak discharge rates do not exceed the pre-development condition. The intent of the Extreme Flood (Qf) criteria is to (a) prevent the increased risk of flood damage from large storm events, (b) maintain the boundaries of the pre-development 100-year floodplain, and (c) protect the physical integrity of stormwater management practices. It requires storage and attenuation of the 100-year, 24-hour storm to ensure post-development peak discharge rates do not exceed the pre-development condition. During the 10-year and 100-year 24-hour storm the post-development peak discharge rates do not exceed the pre-development rates. See Table 4-1 of this Report for detailed comparison of pre- and post-development peak rates. Stormwater Management Report 500 Union Avenue 2021075 11 6.0 PROPOSED STORMWATER FACILITIES The Project is proposing the installation of underground infiltration chambers to address stormwater requirements for the project. The chambers receive the appropriate amount of area to treat the required WQv for the project, and the chambers overflow to existing site infrastructure which drains towards AP-1. This is consistent with existing drainage patterns on site. The chambers have been indicated on the plans and HydroCAD reports as SMP-1. The underground infiltration chambers are located within an existing grass island within the parking lot. 6.1 Pretreatment Runoff contributing to SMP-1 is pretreated by an isolator row. 6.2 Treatment Treatment for runoff entering the infiltration practices is provided by capturing and treating the entire WQv though infiltration into the underlying soils. 7.0 POST-CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 500 Union Ave, LLC will be responsible for the continuous upkeep and maintenance of all stormwater management facilities. Maintenance includes, but is not limited to, cleaning of sediment from drainage inlet sumps, removal of sediment from SMPs, cleaning conveyance piping and channels of obstructions, inspection and repair as required of any outlet control mechanisms, and repairing any other detriments in the design that is resulting in the facilities to not function as intended in the design.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil 5 scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and Custom Soil Resource Report 6 identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or Custom Soil Resource Report 11 landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

New York administers the approved State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) program with permits issued in accordance with the New York State Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 17, Titles 7, 8 and Article 70. An owner or operator of a construction activity that is eligible for coverage under this permit must obtain coverage prior to the commencement of construction activity. Activities that fit the definition of “construction activity”, as defined under 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x), (15)(i), and (15)(ii), constitute construction of a point source and therefore, pursuant to ECL section 17-0505 and 17-0701, the owner or operator must have coverage under a SPDES permit prior to commencing construction activity. The owner or operator cannot wait until there is an actual discharge from the construction site to obtain permit coverage. *Note: The italicized words/phrases within this permit are defined in Appendix A.

PERMIT COVERAGE AND LIMITATIONS A. Permit Application This permit authorizes stormwater discharges to surface waters of the State from the following construction activities identified within 40 CFR Parts 122.26(b)(14)(x), 122.26(b)(15)(i) and 122.26(b)(15)(ii), provided all of the eligibility provisions of this permit are met: 1. Construction activities involving soil disturbances of one (1) or more acres; including disturbances of less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land; excluding routine maintenance activity that is performed to maintain the original line and grade, hydraulic capacity or original purpose of a facility; 2. Construction activities involving soil disturbances of less than one (1) acre where the Department has determined that a SPDES permit is required for stormwater discharges based on the potential for contribution to a violation of a water quality standard or for significant contribution of pollutants to surface waters of the State. 3. Construction activities located in the watershed(s) identified in Appendix D that involve soil disturbances between five thousand (5,000) square feet and one (1) acre of land. B. Effluent Limitations Applicable to Discharges from Construction Activities Discharges authorized by this permit must achieve, at a minimum, the effluent limitations in Part I.B.1. (a) – (f) of this permit. These limitations represent the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of best practicable technology currently available. 1. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements - The owner or operator must select, design, install, implement and maintain control measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. The selection, design, installation, implementation, and maintenance of these control measures must meet the non-numeric effluent limitations in Part I.B.1.(a) – (f) of this permit and be in accordance with the New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, dated November 2016, using sound engineering judgment. Where control measures are not designed in conformance with the design criteria included in the technical standard, the owner or operator must include in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (“SWPPP”) the reason(s) for the (Part I.B.1) 2 deviation or alternative design and provide information which demonstrates that the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard. a. Erosion and Sediment Controls. Design, install and maintain effective erosion and sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. At a minimum, such controls must be designed, installed and maintained to: (i) Minimize soil erosion through application of runoff control and soil stabilization control measure to minimize pollutant discharges; (ii) Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flowrates and total stormwater volume, to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in the immediate vicinity of the discharge points; (iii) Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity; (iv) Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes; (v) Minimize sediment discharges from the site; (vi) Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to vegetated areas and maximize stormwater infiltration to reduce pollutant discharges, unless infeasible; (vii) Minimize soil compaction. Minimizing soil compaction is not required where the intended function of a specific area of the site dictates that it be compacted; (viii) Unless infeasible, preserve a sufficient amount of topsoil to complete soil restoration and establish a uniform, dense vegetative cover; and (ix) Minimize dust. On areas of exposed soil, minimize dust through the appropriate application of water or other dust suppression techniques to control the generation of pollutants that could be discharged from the site. b. Soil Stabilization. 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. For construction sites that directly discharge to one of the 303(d) segments (Part I.B.1.b) 3 listed in Appendix E or is located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C, the application of soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days from the date the current soil disturbance activity ceased. See Appendix A for definition of Temporarily Ceased. c. Dewatering. Discharges from dewatering activities, including discharges from dewatering of trenches and excavations, must be managed by appropriate control measures. d. Pollution Prevention Measures. Design, install, implement, and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. At a minimum, such measures must be designed, installed, implemented and maintained to: (i) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing, wheel wash water, and other wash waters. This applies to washing operations that use clean water only. Soaps, detergents and solvents cannot be used; (ii) Minimize the exposure of building materials, building products, construction wastes, trash, landscape materials, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, sanitary waste, hazardous and toxic waste, and other materials present on the site to precipitation and to stormwater. Minimization of exposure is not required in cases where the exposure to precipitation and to stormwater will not result in a discharge of pollutants, or where exposure of a specific material or product poses little risk of stormwater contamination (such as final products and materials intended for outdoor use) ; and (iii) Prevent the discharge of pollutants from spills and leaks and implement chemical spill and leak prevention and response procedures. e. Prohibited Discharges. The following discharges are prohibited: (i) Wastewater from washout of concrete; (ii) Wastewater from washout and cleanout of stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other construction materials; (Part I.B.1.e.iii) 4 (iii) Fuels, oils, or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance; (iv) Soaps or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing; and (v) Toxic or hazardous substances from a spill or other release. f. Surface Outlets. When discharging from basins and impoundments, the outlets shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a manner that sediment does not leave the basin or impoundment and that erosion at or below the outlet does not occur. C. Post-construction Stormwater Management Practice Requirements 1. The owner or operator of a construction activity that requires post-construction stormwater management practices pursuant to Part III.C. of this permit must select, design, install, and maintain the practices to meet the performance criteria in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual (“Design Manual”), dated January 2015, using sound engineering judgment. Where post-construction stormwater management practices (“SMPs”) are not designed in conformance with the performance criteria in the Design Manual, the owner or operator must include in the SWPPP the reason(s) for the deviation or alternative design and provide information which demonstrates that the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard. 2. The owner or operator of a construction activity that requires post-construction stormwater management practices pursuant to Part III.C. of this permit must design the practices to meet the applicable sizing criteria in Part I.C.2.a., b., c. or d. of this permit. a. Sizing Criteria for New Development (i) Runoff Reduction Volume (“RRv”): Reduce the total Water Quality Volume (“WQv”) by application of RR techniques and standard SMPs with RRv capacity. The total WQv shall be calculated in accordance with the criteria in Section 4.2 of the Design Manual. (ii) Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv: Construction activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part I.C.2.a.(i) of this permit due to site limitations shall direct runoff from all newly constructed impervious areas to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity unless infeasible. The specific site limitations that prevent the reduction of 100% of the WQv shall be documented in the SWPPP. (Part I.C.2.a.ii) 5 For each impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include documentation which demonstrates that all options were considered and for each option explains why it is considered infeasible. In no case shall the runoff reduction achieved from the newly constructed impervious areas be less than the Minimum RRv as calculated using the criteria in Section 4.3 of the Design Manual. The remaining portion of the total WQv that cannot be reduced shall be treated by application of standard SMPs. (iii) Channel Protection Volume (“Cpv”): Provide 24 hour extended detention of the post-developed 1-year, 24-hour storm event; remaining after runoff reduction. The Cpv requirement does not apply when: (1) Reduction of the entire Cpv is achieved by application of runoff reduction techniques or infiltration systems, or (2) The site discharges directly to tidal waters, or fifth order or larger streams. (iv) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (“Qp”): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qp) to predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. (v) Extreme Flood Control Criteria (“Qf”): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 100-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qf) to predevelopment rates. The Qf requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. b. Sizing Criteria for New Development in Enhanced Phosphorus Removal Watershed (i) Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv): Reduce the total Water Quality Volume (WQv) by application of RR techniques and standard SMPs with RRv capacity. The total WQv is the runoff volume from the 1-year, 24 hour design storm over the post-developed watershed and shall be (Part I.C.2.b.i) 6 calculated in accordance with the criteria in Section 10.3 of the Design Manual. (ii) Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv: Construction activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part I.C.2.b.(i) of this permit due to site limitations shall direct runoff from all newly constructed impervious areas to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity unless infeasible. The specific site limitations that prevent the reduction of 100% of the WQv shall be documented in the SWPPP. For each impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include documentation which demonstrates that all options were considered and for each option explains why it is considered infeasible. In no case shall the runoff reduction achieved from the newly constructed impervious areas be less than the Minimum RRv as calculated using the criteria in Section 10.3 of the Design Manual. The remaining portion of the total WQv that cannot be reduced shall be treated by application of standard SMPs. (iii) Channel Protection Volume (Cpv): Provide 24 hour extended detention of the post-developed 1-year, 24-hour storm event; remaining after runoff reduction. The Cpv requirement does not apply when: (1) Reduction of the entire Cpv is achieved by application of runoff reduction techniques or infiltration systems, or (2) The site discharges directly to tidal waters, or fifth order or larger streams. (iv) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (Qp): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qp) to predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. (v) Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 100-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qf) to predevelopment rates. The Qf requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. (Part I.C.2.c) 7 c. Sizing Criteria for Redevelopment Activity (i) Water Quality Volume (WQv): The WQv treatment objective for redevelopment activity shall be addressed by one of the following options. Redevelopment activities located in an Enhanced Phosphorus Removal Watershed (see Part III.B.3. and Appendix C of this permit) shall calculate the WQv in accordance with Section 10.3 of the Design Manual. All other redevelopment activities shall calculate the WQv in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Design Manual. (1) Reduce the existing impervious cover by a minimum of 25% of the total disturbed, impervious area. The Soil Restoration criteria in Section 5.1.6 of the Design Manual must be applied to all newly created pervious areas, or (2) Capture and treat a minimum of 25% of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area by the application of standard SMPs; or reduce 25% of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area by the application of RR techniques or standard SMPs with RRv capacity., or (3) Capture and treat a minimum of 75% of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area as well as any additional runoff from tributary areas by application of the alternative practices discussed in Sections 9.3 and 9.4 of the Design Manual., or (4) Application of a combination of 1, 2 and 3 above that provide a weighted average of at least two of the above methods. Application of this method shall be in accordance with the criteria in Section 9.2.1(B) (IV) of the Design Manual. If there is an existing post-construction stormwater management practice located on the site that captures and treats runoff from the impervious area that is being disturbed, the WQv treatment option selected must, at a minimum, provide treatment equal to the treatment that was being provided by the existing practice(s) if that treatment is greater than the treatment required by options 1 – 4 above. (ii) Channel Protection Volume (Cpv): Not required if there are no changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project site. (iii) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (Qp): Not required if there are no changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project site. (iv) Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf): Not required if there are no changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project site (Part I.C.2.d) 8 d. Sizing Criteria for Combination of Redevelopment Activity and New Development Construction projects that include both New Development and Redevelopment Activity shall provide post-construction stormwater management controls that meet the sizing criteria calculated as an aggregate of the Sizing Criteria in Part I.C.2.a. or b. of this permit for the New Development portion of the project and Part I.C.2.c of this permit for Redevelopment Activity portion of the project. D. Maintaining Water Quality The Department expects that compliance with the conditions of this permit will control discharges necessary to meet applicable water quality standards. It shall be a violation of the ECL for any discharge to either cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards as contained in Parts 700 through 705 of Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York, such as: 1. There shall be no increase in turbidity that will cause a substantial visible contrast to natural conditions; 2. There shall be no increase in suspended, colloidal or settleable solids that will cause deposition or impair the waters for their best usages; and 3. There shall be no residue from oil and floating substances, nor visible oil film, nor globules of grease. If there is evidence indicating that the stormwater discharges authorized by this permit are causing, have the reasonable potential to cause, or are contributing to a violation of the water quality standards; the owner or operator must take appropriate corrective action in accordance with Part IV.C.5. of this general permit and document in accordance with Part IV.C.4. of this general permit.

Lacey, Land Resource Consultant and Environmental Compliance Monitor (Formerly with the Division of Agricultural Protection and Development Services, NYS Dept. of Agriculture & Markets) 1AlternativeȱStormwaterȱManagementȱDeepȬRippingȱandȱDecompactionȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱDescriptionThe two-phase practice of 1) “Deep Ripping;” and 2) “Decompaction” (deep subsoiling), of the soil material as a step in the cleanup and restoration/landscaping of a construction site, helps mitigate the physically induced impacts of soil compression; i.e.: soil compaction or the substantial increase in the bulk density of the soil material. Deep Ripping and Decompaction are key factors which help in restoring soil pore space and permeability for water infiltration. Conversely, the physical actions of cut-and-fill work, land grading, the ongoing movement of construction equipment and the transport of building materials throughout a site alter the architecture and structure of the soil, resulting in: the mixing of layers (horizons) of soil materials, compression of those materials and diminished soil porosity which, if left unchecked, severely impairs the soil’s water holding capacity and vertical drainage (rainfall infiltration), from the surface downward. In a humid climate region, compaction damage on a site is virtually guaranteed over the duration of a project. Soil in very moist to wet condition when compacted, will have severely reduced permeability. Figure 1 displays the early stage of the deep-ripping phase (Note that all topsoil was stripped prior to construction access, and it remains stockpiled until the next phase – decompaction – is complete). A heavy-duty tractor is pulling a three-shank ripper on the first of several series of incrementally deepening passes through the construction access corridor's densely compressed subsoil material. Figure 2 illustrates the approximate volumetric composition of a loam surface soil when conditions are good for plant growth, with adequate natural pore space for fluctuating moisture conditions. ȱFig. 1. A typical deep ripping phase of this practice, during the first in a series of progressively deeper “rips” through severely compressed subsoil. Fig. 2. About 50% of the volume of undisturbed loam surface soil is pore space, when soil is in good condition for plant growth. Brady, 2002. 2Recommended Application of PracticeTheȱobjective of Deep Ripping and Decompaction is to effectively fracture (vertically and laterallly) through the thickness of the physically compressed subsoil material (see Figure 3), restoring soil porosity and permeability and aiding infiltration to help reduce runoff. Together with topsoil stripping, the “two-phase” practice of Deep Ripping and Decompaction first became established as a “best management practice” through ongoing success on commercial farmlands affected by heavy utility construction right-of-way projects (transmission pipelines and large power lines). Soil permeability, soil drainage and cropland productivity were restored. For broader construction application, the two-phase practice of Deep Ripping and Decompaction is best adapted to areas impacted with significant soil compaction, on contiguous open portions of large construction sites and inside long, open construction corridors used as temporary access over the duration of construction. Each mitigation area should have minimal above-and-below-ground obstructions for the easy avoidance and maneuvering of a large tractor and ripping/decompacting implements. Conversely, the complete two-phase practice is not recommended in congested or obstructed areas due to the limitations on tractor and implement movement. BenefitsAggressive “deep ripping” through the compressed thickness of exposed subsoil before the replacement/respreading of the topsoil layer, followed by “decompaction,” i.e.: “sub-soiling,” through the restored topsoil layer down into the subsoil, offers the following benefits:xIncreases the project (larger size) area’s direct surface infiltration of rainfall by providing the open site’s mitigated soil condition and lowers the demand on concentrated runoff control structures xEnhances direct groundwater recharge through greater dispersion across and through a broader surface than afforded by some runoff-control structural measures xDecreases runoff volume generated and provides hydrologic source control xMay be planned for application in feasible open locations either alone or in Fig. 3. Construction site with significant compaction of the deep basal till subsoil extends 24 inches below this exposed cut-and-fill work surface. 3conjunction with plans for structural practices (e.g., subsurface drain line or infiltration basin) serving the same or contiguous areas xPromotes successful long-term revegetation by restoring soil permeability, drainage and water holding capacity for healthy (rather than restricted) root-system development of trees, shrubs and deep rooted ground cover, minimizing plant drowning during wet periods and burnout during dry periods. Feasibility/Limitations The effectiveness of Deep Ripping and Decompaction is governed mostly by site factors such as: the original (undisturbed) soil’s hydrologic characteristics; the general slope; local weather/timing (soil moisture) for implementation; the space-related freedom of equipment/implement maneuverability (noted above in Recommended Application of Practice), and by the proper selection and operation of tractor and implements (explained below in Design Guidance). The more notable site-related factors include:SoilIn the undisturbed condition, each identified soil type comprising a site is grouped into one of four categories of soil hydrology, Hydrologic Soil Group A, B, C or D, determined primarily by a range of characteristics including soil texture, drainage capability when thoroughly wet, and depth to water table. The natural rates of infiltration and transmission of soil-water through the undisturbed soil layers for Group A is “high” with a low runoff potential while soils in Group B are moderate in infiltration and the transmission of soil-water with a moderate runoff potential, depending somewhat on slope. Soils in Group C have slow rates of infiltration and transmission of soil-water and a moderately high runoff potential influenced by soil texture and slope; while soils in Group D have exceptionally slow rates of infiltration and transmission of soil-water, and high runoff potential.In Figure 4, the profile displays the undisturbed horizons of a soil in Hydrologic Soil Group C and the naturally slow rate of infiltration through the subsoil. The slow rate of infiltration begins immediately below the topsoil horizon (30 cm), due to the limited amount of macro pores, e.g.: natural subsoil fractures, worm holes and root channels. Infiltration after the construction-induced mixing and compression of such subsoil material is virtually absent; but can be restored back to this natural level with the two-phase practice of deep ripping and decompaction, followed by the permanent establishment of an appropriate, deep taproot Fig. 4. Profile (in centimeters) displaying the infiltration test result of the natural undisturbed horizons of a soil in Hydrologic Soil Group C.4lawn/ground cover to help maintain the restored subsoil structure. Infiltration after construction-induced mixing and compression of such subsoil material can be notably rehabilitated with the Deep Ripping and Decompaction practice, which prepares the site for the appropriate long-term lawn/ground cover mix including deep taproot plants such as clover, fescue or trefoil, etc. neededfor all rehabilitated soils. Generally, soils in Hydrologic Soil Groups A and B, which respectively may include deep, well-drained, sandy-gravelly materials or deep, moderately well-drained basal till materials, are among the easier ones to restore permeability and infiltration, by deep ripping and decompaction. Among the many different soils in Hydrologic Soil Group C are those unique glacial tills having a natural fragipan zone, beginning about 12 to 18 inches (30 – 45cm), below surface. Although soils in Hydrologic Soil Group C do require a somewhat more carefully applied level of the Deep Ripping and Decompaction practice, it can greatly benefit such affected areas by reducing the runoff and fostering infiltration to a level equal to that of pre-disturbance.Soils in Hydrologic Soil Group D typically have a permanent high water table close to the surface, influenced by a clay or other highly impervious layer of material. In many locations with clay subsoil material, the bulk density is so naturally high that heavy trafficking has little or no added impact on infiltration; and structural runoff control practices rather than Deep Ripping and Decompaction should be considered. The information about Hydrologic Soil Groups is merely a general guideline. Site-specific data such as limited depths of cut-and-fill grading with minimal removal or translocation of the inherent subsoil materials (as analyzed in the county soil survey) or, conversely, the excavation and translocation of deeper, unconsolidated substratum or consolidated bedrock materials (unlike the analyzed subsoil horizons’ materials referred to in the county soil survey) should always be taken into account.Sites made up with significant quantities of large rocks, or having a very shallow depth to bedrock, are not conducive to deep ripping and decompation (subsoiling); and other measures may be more practical.SlopeThe two-phase application of 1) deep ripping and 2) decompaction (deep subsoiling), is most practical on flat, gentle and moderate slopes. In some situations, such as but not limited to temporary construction access corridors, inclusion areas that are moderately steep along a project’s otherwise gentle or moderate slope may also be deep ripped and decompacted. For limited instances of moderate steepness on other projects, however, the post-construction land use and the relative alignment of the potential ripping and decompaction work in relation to the lay of the slope should be reviewed for safety and practicality. In broad construction areas predominated by moderately steep or steep slopes, the practice is generally not used. Local Weather/Timing/Soil Moisture Effective fracturing of compressed subsoil material from the exposed work surface, laterally and vertically down through the affected zone is achieved only when the soil material is moderately dry to moderately moist. Neither one of the two-phases, deep ripping nor decompaction (deep 5Fig. 5. Augered from a depth of 19 inches below the surface of the replaced topsoil, this subsoil sample was hand rolled to a 1/8-inch diameter. The test shows the soil at this site stretches out too far without crumbling; it indicates the material is in a plastic state of consistence, too wet for final decompaction(deep subsoiling) at this time.subsoiling), can be effectively conducted when the soil material (subsoil or replaced topsoil) is in either a “plastic” or “liquid” state of soil consistency. Pulling the respective implements legs through the soil when it is overly moist only results in the “slicing and smearing” of the material or added “squeezing and compression” instead of the necessary fracturing. Ample drying time is needed for a “rippable” soil condition not merely in the material close to the surface, but throughout the material located down to the bottom of the physically compressed zone of the subsoil.The “poor man’s Atterberg field test” for soil plasticity is a simple “hand-roll” method used for quick, on-site determination of whether or not the moisture level of the affected soil material is low enough for: effective deep ripping of subsoil; respreading of topsoil in a friable state; and final decompaction (deep subsoiling). Using a sample of soil material obtained from the planned bottom depth of ripping, e.g.: 20 - 24 inches below exposed subsoil surface, the sample is hand rolled between the palms down to a 1/8-inch diameter thread. (Use the same test for stored topsoil material before respreading on the site.) If the respective soil sample crumbles apart in segments no greater than 3/8 of an inch long, by the time it is rolled down to 1/8 inch diameter, it is low enough in moisture for deep ripping (or topsoil replacement), and decompaction. Conversely, as shown in Figure 5, if the rolled sample stretches out in increments greater than 3/8 of an inch long before crumbling, it is in a “plastic” state of soil consistency and is too wet for subsoil ripping (as well as topsoil replacement) and final decompaction. Design Guidance Beyond the above-noted site factors, a vital requirement for the effective Deep Ripping and Decompaction (deep subsoiling), is implementing the practice in its distinct, two-phase process: 1) Deep rip the affected thickness of exposed subsoil material (see Figure 10 and 11), aggressively fracturing it before the protected topsoil is reapplied on the site (see Figure 12); and 2) Decompact (deep subsoil), simultaneously through the restored topsoil layer and the upper half of the affected subsoil (Figure 13). The second phase, “decompaction,” mitigates the partial recompaction which occurs during the heavy process of topsoil spreading/grading. Prior to deep ripping and decompacting the site, all construction activity, including construction equipment and material storage, site cleanup and trafficking (Figure 14), should be finished; and the site closed off to further disturbance. Likewise, once the practice is underway and the area’s soil permeability and 6Fig. 6. A light duty chisel implement, not adequate for either the deep ripping or decompaction (deep subsoiling) phase. rainfall infiltration are being restored, a policy limiting all further traffic to permanent travel lanes is maintained. The other critical elements, outlined below, are: using the proper implements (deep, heavy-duty rippers and subsoilers), and ample pulling-power equipment (tractors); and conducting the practice at the appropriate speed, depth and pattern(s) of movement. Note that an appropriate plan for the separate practice of establishing a healthy perennial ground cover, with deep rooting to help maintain the restored soil structure, should be developed in advance. This may require the assistance of an agronomist or landscape horticulturist. ImplementsAvoid the use of all undersize implements. The small-to-medium, light-duty tool will, at best, only “scarify” the uppermost surface portion of the mass of compacted subsoil material. The term “chisel plow” is commonly but incorrectly applied to a broad range of implements. While a few may be adapted for the moderate subsoiling of non-impacted soils, the majority are less durable and used for only lighter land-fitting (see Figure 6). Use a “heavy duty” agricultural-grade, deep ripper (see Figures 7,9,10 and 11) for the first phase: the lateral and vertical fracturing of the mass of exposed and compressed subsoil, down and through, to the bottom of impact, prior to the replacement of the topsoil layer. (Any oversize rocks which are uplifted to the subsoil surface during the deep ripping phase are picked and removed.) Like the heavy-duty class of implement for the first phase, the decompaction (deep subsoiling) of Phase 2 is conducted with the heavy-duty version of the deep subsoiler. More preferable is the angled-leg variety of deep subsoiler (shown in Figures 8 and 13). It minimizes the inversion of the subsoil and topsoil layers while laterally and vertically fracturing the upper half of the previously ripped subsoil layer and all of the topsoil layer by delivering a momentary, wave-like “lifting and shattering” action up through the soil layers as it is pulled.Fig. 7. One of several variations of an agricultural ripper. This unit has long, rugged shanks mounted on a steel V-frame for deep, aggressive fracturing through Phase 1. 7Fig. 8. A deep, angled-leg subsoiler, ideal for Phase 2 decompaction of after the topsoil layer is graded on top of the ripped subsoil. Pulling-Power of EquipmentUse the following rule of thumb for tractor horsepower (hp) whenever deep ripping and decompacting a significantly impacted site: For both types of implement, have at least 40 hp of tractor pull available for each mounted shank/ leg. Using the examples of a 3-shank and a 5-shank implement, the respective tractors should have 120 and 200 hp available for fracturing down to the final depth of 20-to-24 inches per phase. Final depth for the deep ripping in Phase 1 is achieved incrementally by a progressive series of passes (see Depth and Patterns of Movement, below); while for Phase 2, the full operating depth of the deep subsoiler is applied from the beginning. The operating speed for pulling both types of implement should not exceed 2 to 3 mph. At this slow and managed rate of operating speed, maximum functional performance is sustained by the tractor and the implement performing the soil fracturing. Referring to Figure 8, the implement is the 6-leg version of the deep angled-leg subsoiler. Its two outside legs are “chained up” so that only four legs will be engaged (at the maximum depth), requiring no less than 160 hp, (rather than 240 hp) of pull. The 4-wheel drive, articulated-frame tractor in Figure 8 is 174 hp. It will be decompacting this unobstructed, former construction access area simultaneously through 11 inches of replaced topsoil and the upper 12 inches of the previously deep-ripped subsoil. In constricted areas of Phase 1) Deep Ripping, a medium-size tractor with adequate hp, such as the one in Figure 9 pulling a 3-shank deep ripper, may be more maneuverable. Some industrial-grade variations of ripping implements are attached to power graders and bulldozers. Although highly durable, they are generally not recommended. Typically, the shanks or “teeth” of these rippers are too short and stout; and they are mounted too far apart to achieve the well-distributed type of lateral and vertical fracturing of the soil materials necessary to restore soil permeability and infiltration. In addition, the power graders and bulldozers, as pullers, are far less maneuverable for turns and patterns than the tractor. Fig. 9. This medium tractor is pulling a 3-shank deep ripper. The severely compacted construction access corridor is narrow, and the 120 hp tractor is more maneuverable for Phase 1 deep ripping (subsoil fracturing), here. 8Depth and Patterns of MovementAs previously noted both Phase 1 Deep Ripping through significantly compressed, exposed subsoil and Phase 2 Decompaction (deep subsoiling) through the replaced topsoil and upper subsoil need to be performed at maximum capable depth of each implement. With an implement’s guide wheels attached, some have a “normal” maximum operating depth of 18 inches, while others may go deeper. In many situations, however, the tractor/implement operator must first remove the guide wheels and other non essential elements from the implement. This adapts the ripper or the deep subsoiler for skillful pulling with its frame only a few inches above surface, while the shanks or legs, fracture the soil material 20-to-24 inches deep. There may be construction sites where the depth of the exposed subsoil’s compression is moderate, e.g.: 12 inches, rather than deep. This can be verified by using a ¾ inch cone penetrometer and a shovel to test the subsoil for its level of compaction, incrementally, every three inches of increasing depth. Once the full thickness of the subsoil’s compacted zone is finally “pieced” and there is a significant drop in the psi measurements of the soil penetrometer, the depth/thickness of compaction is determined. This is repeated at several representative locations of the construction site. If the thickness of the site’s subsoil compaction is verified as, for example, ten inches, then the Phase 1 Deep Ripping can be correspondingly reduced to the implement’s minimum operable depth of 12 inches. However, the Phase 2 simultaneous Decompation (subsoiling) of an 11 inch thick layer of replaced topsoil and the upper subsoil should run at the subsoiling implements full operating depth.Typically, three separate series (patterns) are used for both the Phase 1 Deep Ripping and the Phase 2 Decompaction on significantly compacted sites. For Phase 1, each series begins with a moderate depth of rip and, by repeat-pass, continues until full depth is reached. Phase 2 applies the full depth of Decompation (subsoiling), from the beginning. Every separate series (pattern) consists of parallel, forward-and-return runs, with each progressive Fig. 11. A repeat run of the 3-shank ripper along the same patterned pass area as Fig. 9; here, incrementally reaching 18 of the needed 22 inches of subsoil fracture.Fig. 10. An early pass with a 3-shank deep ripper penetrating only 8 inches into this worksite’s severely compressed subsoil. 9pass of the implement’s legs or shanks evenly staggered between those from the previous pass. This compensates for the shank or leg-spacing on the implement, e.g., with 24-to-30 inches between each shank or leg. The staggered return pass ensures lateral and vertical fracturing actuated every 12 to 15 inches across the densely compressed soil mass. Large, Unobstructed Areas For larger easy areas, use the standard patterns of movement: Ɣ The first series (pattern) of passes is applied lengthwise, parallel with the longest spread of the site; gradually progressing across the site’s width, with each successive pass. Ɣ The second series runs obliquely, crossing the first series at an angle of about 45 degrees.Ɣ The third series runs at right angle (or 90 degrees), to the first series to complete the fracturing and shattering on severely compacted sites, and avoid leaving large unbroken blocks of compressed soil material. (In certain instances, the third series may be optional, depending on how thoroughly the first two series loosen the material and eliminate large chunks/blocks of material as verified by tests with a ¾-inch cone penetrometer.) CorridorsIn long corridors of limited width and less maneuverability than larger sites, e.g.: along compacted areas used as temporary construction access, a modified series of pattern passes are used. Ɣ First, apply the same initial lengthwise, parallel series of passes described above. Fig. 12. Moderately dry topsoil is being replaced on the affected site now that Phase 1 deep ripping of the compressed subsoil is complete. Fig. 13. The same deep, angled-leg subsoiler shown in Fig. 7 is engaged at maximum depth for Phase 2, decompaction (deep soiling), of the replaced topsoil and the upper subsoil materials.10Fig. 15. The same site as Fig. 14 after deep ripping of the exposed subsoil, topsoil replacement, decompaction through the topsoil and upper subsoil and final surface tillage and revegetation to maintain soil permeability and infiltration. Ɣ A second series of passes makes a broad “S” shaped pattern of rips, continually and gradually alternating the “S” curves between opposite edges inside the compacted corridor. Ɣ The third and final series again uses the broad, alternating S pattern, but it is “flip-flopped” to continually cross the previous S pattern along the corridor’s centerline. This final series of the S pattern curves back along the edge areas skipped by the second series.Maintenance and Cost Once the two-phase practice of Deep Ripping and Decompation is completed, two items are essential for maintaining a site’s soil porosity and permeability for infiltration. They are: planting and maintaining the appropriate ground cover with deep roots to maintain the soil structure (see Figure 15); and keeping the site free of traffic or other weight loads.Note that site-specific choice of an appropriate vegetative ground-cover seed mix, including the proper seeding ratio of one or more perennial species with a deep taproot system and the proper amount of lime and soil nutrients (fertilizer mix) adapted to the soil-needs, are basic to the final practice of landscaping, i.e: surface tillage, seeding/planting/fertilizing and culti-packing or mulching is applied. The "maintenance" of an effectively deep-ripped and decompacted area is generally limited to the successful perennial (long-term) landscape ground cover; as long as no weight-bearing force of soil compaction is applied. Fig. 14. The severely compacted soil of a temporary construction yard used daily by heavy equipment for four months; shown before deep ripping, topsoil replacement, and decompaction. 11The Deep Ripping and Decompaction practice is, by necessity, more extensive than periodic subsoiling of farmland.The cost of deep ripping and decompacting (deep subsoiling), will vary according to the depth and severity of soil-material compression and the relative amount of tractor and implement time that is required. In some instances, depending on open maneuverability, two-to-three acres of compacted project area may be deep-ripped in one day. In other situations of more severe compaction and - or less maneuverability, as little as one acre may be fully ripped in a day. Generally, if the Phase 1) Deep Ripping is fully effective, the Phase 2) Decompaction should be completed in 2/3 to 3/4 of the time required for Phase 1. Using the example of two acres of Phase 1) Deep Ripping in one day, at $1800 per day, the net cost is $900 per acre. If the Phase 2) Decompacting or deep subsoiling takes 3/4 the time as Phase 1, it costs $675 per acre for a combined total of $1575 per acre to complete the practice (these figures do not include the cost of the separate practice of topsoil stripping and replacement). Due to the many variables, it must be recognized that cost will be determined by the specific conditions or constraints of the site and the availability of proper equipment. 12ResourcesPublications:ȱȣȱAmericanȱȱSocietyȱofȱȱAgriculturalȱEngineers.ȱ1971.ȱȱCompactionȱofȱȱAgriculturalȱȱSoils.ȱȱASAE.ȱȱȣȱBrady,ȱN.C.,ȱandȱR.R.ȱWeil.ȱ2002.ȱȱTheȱȱNatureȱȱandȱȱPropertiesȱȱofȱȱSoils.ȱ13thȱed.ȱPearsonȱEducation,ȱInc.ȱȱȣȱBaver,ȱL.D.ȱ1948.ȱSoilȱPhysics.ȱJohnȱWileyȱ&ȱSons.ȱȱȣȱCarpachi,ȱN.ȱ1987ȱ(1995ȱfifthȱprinting).ȱExcavationȱandȱGradingȱHandbook,ȱRevised.ȱȱ2ndȱed.ȱCraftsmanȱBookȱCompanyȱȣȱEllis,ȱB.ȱ(Editor).ȱ1997.ȱȱSafeȱ&ȱEasyȱLawnȱCare:ȱȱTheȱCompleteȱGuideȱtoȱOrganicȱLowȱMaintenanceȱLawn.ȱȱHoughtonȱMifflin.ȱȱȣȱHarpstead,ȱM.I.,ȱT.J.ȱSauer,ȱandȱW.F.ȱBennett.ȱ2001.ȱȱSoilȱScienceȱSimplified.ȱ4thȱed.ȱIowaȱStateȱUniversityȱȱPress.ȱȱȣȱȱMagdoff,ȱF.,ȱȱandȱȱH.ȱvanȱEs.ȱȱ2000.ȱȱBuildingȱSoilsȱȱforȱȱBetterȱCrops.ȱ2ndȱed.ȱSustainableȱAgriculturalȱNetworksȱȱȣȱȱMcCarthy,ȱD.F.ȱ1993.ȱEssentialsȱofȱSoilȱMechanicsȱandȱFoundations,ȱBasicȱGeotechnicsȱ4thȱed.ȱRegents/PrenticeȱHall.ȱȱȣȱȱȱȱȱȱPlaster,ȱE.J.ȱ1992.ȱSoilȱScienceȱ&ȱManagement.ȱ3rdȱed.ȱDelmarȱPublishers.ȱȱȣȱȱȱUnionȱGasȱLimited,ȱOntario,ȱCanada.ȱ1984.ȱRehabilitationȱofȱAgriculturalȱLands,ȱDawnȬKerwoodȱȱLoopȱȱPipeline;ȱȱȱTechnicalȱȱȱReport.ȱȱȱEcologicalȱȱȱServicesȱȱforȱȱPlanning,ȱȱLtd.;ȱRobinson,ȱMerrittȱ&ȱDevries,ȱLtd.ȱandȱSmith,ȱHoffmanȱAssociates,ȱLtd.ȱȱȣȱȱȱUSȱDepartmentȱofȱAgricultureȱinȱcooperationȱwithȱCornellȱUniversityȱAgriculturalȱExperimentȱȱStation.ȱȱVariousȱyears.ȱȱSoilȱȱSurveyȱofȱȱ(variousȱnames)ȱȱCounty,ȱȱNewȱYork.ȱUSDA.ȱȱInternetȱAccess:ȱȣȱȱȱȱExamplesȱofȱimplements:ȱȱȱVȬRippers.ȱȱAccessȱbyȱȱinternetȱsearchȱofȱJohnȱDeereȱAgȱȬNewȱEquipmentȱȱȱforȱȱ915ȱȱ(largerȬframeȱmodel)ȱȱVȬRippe;ȱȱand,ȱȱȱforȱ913ȱȱ(smallerȬframeȱmodel)ȱVȬRipper.ȱȱDeep,ȱangledȬlegȱsubsoiler.ȱȱAccessȱȱbyȱȱinternetȱsearchȱȱof:ȱBighamȱȱBrothersȱShearȱBoltȱȱParatillȬSubsoiler.ȱhttp://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/en_NA/primary_tillage/2008/feature/rippers/915v_pattern_frame.html?sbu=ag&link=prodcat LastȱvisitedȱMarchȱ08.ȱȱȣȱSoilsȱdataȱofȱUSDAȱNaturalȱResourcesȱConservationȱService.ȱNRCSȱWebȱSoilȱSurvey.ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱhttp://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/ȱȱȱandȱȱUSDAȬNRCSȱȱOfficialȱȱSoilȱȱSeriesȱDescriptions;ȱViewȱbyȱName.ȱhttp://ortho.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/cgiȬbin/osd/osdname.cgiȱ.ȱLastȱvisitedȱJan.ȱ08.ȱȱȣȱȱSoilȱȱpenetrometerȱȱinformation.ȱȱAccessȱȱbyȱȱȱinternetȱȱsearchesȱȱof:ȱȱȱDiagnosingȱSoilȱCompactionȱȱȱusingȱȱaȱPenetrometerȱ(soilȱcompactionȱtester),ȱPSUȱExtension;ȱȱasȱȱwellȱȱasȱDickeyȬjohnȱSoilȱCompactionȱTester.ȱhttp://www.dickey-johnproducts.com/pdf/SoilCompactionTest.pdf and http://cropsoil.psu.edu/Extension/Facts/uc178pdfLastȱvisitedȱSept.ȱ07ȱ
