NYSDEC SPDES General Permit GP-0-20-001 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 1 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared for major activities associated with allowing the two (2) on-site non-jurisdictional wetlands to be filled under the City of Saratoga Springs Unified Development Ordinance. This SWPPP includes the elements necessary to comply with the national baseline general permit for construction activities enacted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and all local governing agency requirements. This SWPPP must be executed, and permit coverage must be obtained prior to the commencement of construction activity. This SWPPP has been developed in accordance with the “New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity,” Permit No. GP-0-20-001, effective January 29, 2020 through January 28, 2025. The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify and detail stormwater management, pollution prevention, and erosion and sediment control measures necessary during and following completion of construction. This SWPPP and the accompanying plans entitled “Washington Street Land Disturbance” have been submitted as a set. These engineering drawings are considered an integral part of this SWPPP. Therefore, this SWPPP is not considered complete without them. References made herein to “the plans” or to a specific “sheet” refer to these drawings. This report considers the impacts associated with the intended development with the purpose of: 1. Maintaining existing drainage patterns as much as possible while continuing the conveyance of upland watershed runoff; 2. Controlling increases in the rate of stormwater runoff resulting from the proposed development so as not to adversely alter downstream conditions; and 3. Mitigating potential stormwater quality impacts and preventing soil erosion and sedimentation resulting from stormwater runoff generated both during and after construction. The analysis and design completed and documented in this report is intended to be part of the application made for a land improvement project completed on behalf of the Owner/Operator. 1.1 Project Description Rohm Enterprises, Inc. is proposing a grading project to include filling in two (2) non-jurisdictional wetlands on the property. The project will disturb greater than 1-acre of land. A Site Location Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-1. This type of project is included in Table 1 of Appendix B of GP-0-20-001. Therefore, this SWPPP only includes erosion and sediment controls. Although not required by NYSDEC, pre- and post-development stormwater modeling is included to demonstrate that stormwater flows will be equal or reduced in the post-development condition. This project is located within the City of Saratoga Springs regulated, traditional land use control Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4). Therefore, an MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form is required to accompany NOIs submitted to the NYSDEC. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 2 1.2 Stormwater Pollution Controls The stormwater pollution controls outlined herein have been designed and evaluated in accordance with the following standards and guidelines: • New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, dated November 2016 (SSESC). • City of Saratoga Springs, NY Unified Development Ordinance, Article 17 – Stormwater Management. Stormwater quality will be enhanced through the implementation of temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures and other construction-phase pollution controls outlined herein. The proposed stormwater management approach consisting of pipes and open drainage ways will adequately collect and convey the stormwater runoff. 2.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Land Use and Topography The project site is located within the City of Saratoga Springs Transect-5 Neighborhood Center (T-5) Zoning District. The overall site is gently sloping, with slopes ranging from approximately 0 to 25 percent. Site elevations range from approximately 318 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) to 338 feet MSL. The site generally slopes towards the low-lying wetland area at the southeast corner of the site, towards the existing stream. 2.2 Soils and Groundwater The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Web Soil Survey (http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/) was used to obtain surficial soil conditions for the study area, as follows: Table 1: USDA Soil Data Map Symbol & Description Hydrologic Soil Group Permeability (inches/hour) Erosion Factor K Depth to Water Table (feet) Depth to Bedrock (feet) DeA – Deerfield loamy fine sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes A 1.42 – 99.9 0.2 2.0 – 3.0 > 6.0 DeB – Deerfield loamy fine sand, 3 to 8 percent slopes A 1.42 – 99.9 0.2 2.0 – 3.0 > 6.0 WnC – Windsor loamy sand, 8 to 15 percent slopes A 1.42 – 99.9 N/A > 6.0 > 6.0 Upon review of the soil data presented in Table 1, the project site does not contain soils with a soil slope phase of D with a map unit name that inclusive of slopes greater than 25%, and does not contain soils with a soil slope phase of E or F. The project site is composed of HSG A soils, as shown in the table below. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 3 Table 2: Project Site HSG Data HSG A HSG B HSG C HSG D 100% 0% 0% 0% The Soil Conservation Service defines the hydrologic soil groups as follows: • Type A Soils: Soils having a high infiltration rate and low runoff potential when thoroughly wet. These soils consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. The soils map for the study area is presented in Appendix A, as Figure A-2. 2.3 Watershed Designation The project site is not located in a restricted watershed identified in Appendix C of GP-0-20-001. 2.4 Receiving Water Bodies The nearest natural classified water course into which runoff from the project site will discharge is the Geyser Brook. The Geyser Brook is classified by NYSDEC as a Class C water course, and is not included in the Section 303(d) list of impaired waters found in Appendix E of GP-0-20-001. 2.5 Aquifer Designation The project site is not located over a US EPA designated Sole Source Aquifer. It is located over an unnamed unconsolidated Principal Aquifer, of approximately 400,023,643± acres, as indicated on the NYSDEC GIS data set of mapping for primary and principal aquifers through NYS GIS Clearinghouse. As the aquifer is not a Sole Source, aquifer separations identified in the design manual do not apply. 2.6 Wetlands Wetlands depicted on the accompanying plan set were delineated by The Chazen Companies in November 2012. The wetland boundary was surveyed by Gilbert Vanguilder, Land Surveyor, PLLC. and presented on a map entitled “Wetland Map – Lands of Mohr” and dated December 7th, 2012. These wetlands encompass approximately 2.01 acres of the 8.90 acre property. The wetlands are currently not regulated by the NYSDEC or USACOE based on recent correspondence from both agencies. 2.7 Flood Plains According to the National Flood Insurance Program Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), City of Saratoga Springs, New York, Community Panel Number 433, the project site lies within Flood Zone X, areas determined to be outside 500-year floodplain. 2.8 Listed, Endangered, or Threatened Species A search was performed on the NYSDEC Environmental Resource Mapper on February 7, 2023, and determined that the project site has no known occurrences of threatened or endangered species, or critical habitat. An Environmental Resource Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-4. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 4 2.9 Historic Places A search on the New York State Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) database, performed on April 21, 2023, revealed that the property is not located within an archeologically sensitive area, and is not located on or immediately adjacent to a property listed or determined to be eligible for listing on the National or State Registers of Historic Places. Additionally, the construction activity does not include the construction of a new building. A printout of the historic places screening map is presented in Appendix A, as Figure A-3. 2.10 Pre-development Watershed Conditions The pre-development project site is covered predominantly by woods and developed impervious surface (pavement and buildings). Analysis of pre-development conditions considered existing drainage patterns, soil types, ground cover, and topography. The Pre-Development Watershed Delineation Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-5. The results of the computer modeling used to analyze the overall watershed under pre-development conditions are presented in Appendix C. A summary of the pre-development watershed runoff rates at each analysis point is presented in Table 4. 2.11 Post-development Watershed Conditions The post-development project site is covered predominantly by grass and developed impervious surfaces (pavement and buildings). The analysis of post-development conditions considered existing drainage patterns, soil types, ground cover to remain, planned site development, site grading, and stormwater management facilities proposed as part of site improvements. The Post-Development Watershed Delineation Map has been provided in Appendix A, as Figure A-6. The results of the computer modeling used to analyze the overall watershed under post-development conditions are presented in Appendix D. A summary of the post-development watershed runoff rates at each analysis point is presented in Table 4. 2.12 Description of Analysis Points The study area consists of an overall watershed that encompasses approximately 14.1± acres, including the 6.20± acre area of disturbance. The overall watershed was broken down into smaller watersheds, or subcatchments, to allow for analysis of runoff conditions at a location in the study area. This location was defined as an Analysis Point (AP). A description of the analysis point is provided below. • Analysis Point 1: Off-site discharge to the existing low point and collection system to the east of the project site. Runoff infiltrates into the ground, with any overflow continuing east into the closed system. 3.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING Although not required by NYSDEC the goal of this Stormwater Management Plan is to analyze the peak rate of runoff under pre- and post-development conditions, to maintain the pre-development rate of runoff in order to minimize impacts to adjacent or downstream properties, and to minimize the impact to the quality of runoff exiting the site. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 5 3.1 Peak Rate Control This report presents the pre-development and post-development features and conditions associated with the rate of surface water runoff within the study area. For both cases, the drainage patterns, drainage structures, soil types, and ground cover types are considered in this study. 3.1.1 Methodology A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the pre- and post-development conditions was performed using the Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Release 20 (TR-20) and Technical Release 55 (TR-55) methodologies. HydroCAD, developed by HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC of Tamworth, New Hampshire, is a Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) program for analyzing the hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics of a given watershed and associated stormwater management facilities. HydroCAD uses the TR-20 algorithms and TR-55 methods to create and route runoff hydrographs. HydroCAD has the capability of computing hydrographs (which represent discharge rates characteristic of specified watershed conditions, precipitation, and geologic factors) combining hydrographs and routing flows though pipes, streams and ponds. HydroCAD can also calculate the center of mass detention time for various hydraulic features. Documentation for HydroCAD can be found on their website: http://www.hydrocad.net/. For this analysis, the watershed and drainage system was broken down into a network consisting of three types of components as described below: 1. Subcatchment: A relatively homogeneous area of land, which produces a volume and rate of runoff unique to that area. 2. Reach: Uniform streams, channels, or pipes that convey stormwater from one point to another. 3. Pond: Natural or man-made impoundment, which temporarily stores stormwater runoff and empties in a manner determined by its geometry and the hydraulic structure located at its outlets. Subcatchments, reaches, and ponds are represented by hexagons, squares, and triangles, respectively, on the watershed routing diagrams provided with the computations included in Appendix C and Appendix D. The analysis of hydrologic and hydraulic conditions was performed by dividing the tributary watershed into relatively homogeneous subcatchments. The separation of the watershed into subcatchments was dictated by watershed conditions, methods of collection, conveyance, and points of discharge. Watershed characteristics for each subcatchment were then assessed from United States Geological Service (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic maps, aerial photographs, a topographical survey, soil surveys, site investigations, and land use maps. A local IDF file was imported, and specific mass curves were generated, in HydroCAD to evaluate the pre- and post-development stormwater runoff characteristics for various 24-hour storm events identified in the following Table. Table 3: Design Events Facility 24-hour Storm Event Storm Sewer 10-year Flood Conditions 100-year Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 6 3.1.2 Performance Summary A comparison of the pre- and post-development watershed conditions was performed for the analysis point and all storm events evaluated herein. For the analysis point and all design storms, this comparison demonstrates that the peak rate of runoff will not be increased. Therefore, the project will not have a significant adverse impact on the adjacent or downstream properties or receiving water courses. The results of the computer modeling used to analyze the pre- and post-development watersheds are presented in Appendix C and Appendix D, respectively. The following Table summarizes the results of this analysis. Table 4: Summary of Pre- and Post-Development Peak Discharge Rates Pre- vs. Post-Development Discharge Rate (cfs) Analysis Point (AP) 1-year 24-hour storm event 10-year 24-hour storm event 100-year 24-hour storm event Pre Post Pre Post Pre Post 1 0.00 0.00 0.06 0.00 1.39 1.03 4.0 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE This project has not received written approval from the City of Saratoga Springs allowing the disturbance of more than five acres of land at any one time. Therefore, if the Contractor’s construction sequence requires the disturbance of more than five acres at any one time, written approval must be obtained from the City of Saratoga Springs prior to disturbing more than five acres at once. The “Erosion and Sediment Control Plan” in the accompanying drawings identifies the major construction activities that are the subject of this SWPPP. The order (or sequence) in which the major activities are expected to begin is presented on the accompanying drawings, though each activity will not necessarily be completed before the next begins. In addition, these activities could occur in a different order if necessary to maintain adequate erosion and sediment control. If this is the case, the contractor shall notify the Owner’s/Operator’s Engineer overseeing the implementation of the SWPPP. The Contractor will be responsible for implementing the erosion and sediment control measures identified on the plans. The Contractor may designate these tasks to certain subcontractors as they see fit, but the ultimate responsibility for implementing these controls and ensuring their proper function remains with the Contractor. Refer to the accompanying plans for details and specifications regarding the construction sequencing schedule. 5.0 CONSTRUCTION-PHASE POLLUTION CONTROL The SWPPP and accompanying plans identify the temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures that have been incorporated into the design of this project. These measures will be implemented during construction, to minimize soil erosion and control sediment transport off-site, and after construction, to control the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff from the developed site. Erosion control measures, designed to minimize soil loss, and sediment control measures, intended to retain eroded soil and prevent it from reaching water bodies or adjoining properties, have been developed in accordance with the following documents: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 7 • NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activity, Permit No. GP-0-20-001 (effective January 29, 2020 through January 28, 2025) • New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, NYSDEC (November 2016) The SWPPP and accompanying plans outline the construction scheduling for implementing the erosion and sediment control measures. These documents include limitations on the duration of soil exposure, criteria and specifications for placement and installation of the erosion and sediment control measures, a maintenance schedule, and specifications for the implementation of erosion and sediment control practices and procedures. Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures that shall be applied during construction generally include: 1. Minimizing soil erosion and sedimentation by stabilization of disturbed areas and by removing sediment from construction site discharges. 2. Preservation of existing vegetation to the greatest extent practical. Following the completion of construction activities in any portion of the site, permanent vegetation shall be established on all exposed soils. 3. Site preparation activities to minimize the area and duration of soil disruption. 4. Establishment of permanent traffic corridors to ensure that “routes of convenience” are avoided. 5.1 Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Measures The temporary erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections are included as part of the construction documents. 5.1.1 Stabilized Construction Access Prior to construction, stabilized construction access(es) will be installed, per accompanying plans, to reduce the tracking of sediment onto public roadways. Construction traffic must enter and exit the site at the stabilized construction access(es). The intent is to trap dust and mud that would otherwise be carried off-site by construction traffic. The access(es) shall be maintained in a condition, which will control tracking of sediment onto public rights-of-way or streets. When necessary, additional aggregate will be placed atop the filter fabric to assure the minimum thickness is maintained. All sediment and/or soil spilled, dropped, or washed onto public rights-of-way must be removed immediately. Periodic inspection and needed maintenance shall be provided after each substantial rainfall event. 5.1.2 Dust Control Water trucks shall be used as needed during construction to reduce dust generated on-site. Dust control must be provided by the Contractor(s) to a degree that is acceptable to the Owner, and in compliance with the applicable local and state dust control requirements. 5.1.3 Temporary Soil Stockpile Materials, such as topsoil, will be temporarily stockpiled (if necessary) on the site during the construction process. Stockpiles shall be located in an area away from storm drainage, water bodies and/or courses, and will be properly protected from erosion by a surrounding silt fence barrier. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 8 5.1.4 Silt Fencing Prior to the initiation of and during construction activities, a geotextile filter fabric (or silt fence) will be established downgradient of all disturbed areas. These barriers may extend into non-impact areas to provide adequate protection of adjacent lands. Clearing and grubbing will be performed only as necessary for the installation of the sediment control barrier. To facilitate effectiveness of the silt fencing, daily inspections and inspections immediately after significant storm events will be performed by the Contractor(s). Maintenance of the fence will be performed as needed. 5.1.5 Temporary Seeding For areas undergoing clearing, grading, and disturbance as part of construction activities, where work has temporarily ceased, temporary soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within fourteen (14) days from the date the soil disturbance activity has temporarily ceased. 5.1.6 Manufactured Insert Inlet Protection Install insert inlet protection beneath the grate of all catch basins, to prevent sediment from entering the catch basins and storm sewer system. Remove sediment accumulation and repair or replace insert as necessary to ensure proper function. 5.1.7 Dewatering Operations Dewatering will be used to intercept sediment-laden stormwater or pumped groundwater and allow it to settle out of the pumped discharge prior to being discharged from the site. Water from dewatering operations shall be treated to eliminate the discharge of sediment and other pollutants. Water resulting from dewatering operations shall be directed to temporary sediment traps or dewatering devices. Temporary sediment traps and dewatering bags will be provided, installed, and maintained at downgradient locations to control sediment deposits to downstream surfaces. 5.2 Permanent Erosion and Sediment Control Measures The permanent erosion and sediment control measures described in the following sections are included as part of the construction documents. 5.2.1 Establishment of Permanent Vegetation Disturbed areas that will be vegetated must be seeded in accordance with the contract documents. The type of seed, mulch, and maintenance measures as described in the contract documents shall also be followed. Permanent soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within fourteen (14) days from the date the soil disturbance activity has permanently ceased. Final site stabilization is achieved when all soil-disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80 percent has been established or equivalent stabilization measures (such as the use of mulches or geotextiles) have been employed on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 9 5.3 Other Pollutant Controls Part I.B.1.e of GP-0-20-001 prohibits discharges from construction material wastewater, pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance, vehicle and equipment washing and toxic or hazardous substances. The following table identifies materials and/or chemicals commonly used and/or stored on construction sites and should be addressed in the site-specific spill prevention and response plan: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 10 Table 5: Common Construction Pollutants Material/Chemical Physical Description Stormwater Pollutants Location* Pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, rodenticides) Various colored to colorless liquid, powder, pellets, or grains Chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, carbamates, arsenic Herbicides used for noxious weed control Fertilizer Liquid or solid grains Nitrogen, phosphorous Newly seeded areas Cleaning solvents Colorless, blue, or yellow-green liquid Perchloroethylene, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, petroleum distillates No equipment cleaning allowed in project limits Asphalt Black solid Oil, petroleum distillates Streets and roofing Concrete White solid/grey liquid Limestone, sand, pH, chromium Curb and gutter, building construction Curing compounds Creamy white liquid Naphtha Curb and gutter Hydraulic oil/fluids Brown oily petroleum hydrocarbon Mineral oil Leaks or broken hoses from equipment Gasoline Colorless, pale brown or pink petroleum hydrocarbon Benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, xylene, MTBE Secondary containment / staging area Diesel Fuel Clear, blue-green to yellow liquid Petroleum distillate, oil & grease, naphthalene, xylenes Secondary containment / staging area Kerosene Pale yellow liquid petroleum hydrocarbon Coal oil, petroleum distillates Secondary containment / staging area Antifreeze/coolant Clear green/yellow liquid Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, heavy metals (copper, lead, zinc) Leaks or broken hoses from equipment Sanitary toilets Various colored liquid Bacteria, parasites, and viruses Staging area Construction materials Granular fill Various colored solids Sediment Stockpile / fill areas Subbase course Gray/brown solid Sediment, dust Stockpile Topsoil Brown solid Sediment Stockpile Mulch Various colored solid Sediment, debris Staging area Seed Brown/yellow solid Nutrients, debris Staging area HDPE Storm Pipe Black solid Staging area SDR-35, SDR-21 PVC Pipe Various colored solid Staging area Metals Frames and Grates Gray solid Staging area Joint Sealant Light gray viscous solid Polyurethane Staging area *(Area where material/chemical is used on-site) 5.4 Construction Housekeeping Practices During the construction phase, the Contractor(s) will implement the following measures: 5.4.1 Sediment Sweeping/Vacuuming Any sediment that is tracked by construction vehicles or erosion onto adjacent public or private impervious surfaces must be swept or vacuumed, utilizing self-propelled and/or walk-behind equipment, and removed on a daily basis. Kick brooms and sweeper attachments are not an acceptable means of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 11 sweeping. Sweeping or vacuuming should not take place while tracked sediment is wet. If tracked sediment is compacted, the sediment must be scraped loose prior to sweeping or vacuuming. 5.4.2 Material Stockpiles Material resulting from clearing and grubbing operations that will be stockpiled on-site, must be adequately protected with downgradient erosion and sediment controls. 5.4.3 Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance The Contractor(s) will designate areas for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and repair. The Contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) will utilize those areas. The areas will be protected by a temporary perimeter berm. 5.4.4 Detergents The use of detergents for large-scale washing is prohibited (i.e., vehicles, buildings, pavement surfaces, etc.). 5.4.5 Spill Prevention and Response A Spill Prevention and Response Plan shall be developed, for the pollutants identified in Section 5.3, for the site by the Contractor(s) that addresses the following: 1. Reducing chance of spills 2. Stopping the source of spills 3. Containing and cleaning up spills 4. Disposing of materials contaminated by spills 5. Training personnel responsible for spill prevention/response 6. Material handling procedures 7. Material storage requirements The plan shall detail the steps required in the event of an accidental spill and shall identify contact names and phone numbers of people and agencies that must be notified. The plan shall include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials to be stored on-site. All workers on-site will be required to be trained on safe handling and spill prevention procedures for all materials used during construction. Regular tailgate safety meetings shall be held and all workers that are expected on the site during the week shall be required to attend. 5.4.6 Concrete Washout Areas A temporary concrete washout area shall be provided for every project where concrete will be poured or otherwise formed on-site and shall consist of an excavated or above-ground lined construction pit where concrete trucks or equipment can be washed out after their loads have been discharged. Waste generated from concrete wash water that shall not be allowed to flow into drainage ways, inlets, receiving waters, highway right-of-way, or any location other than the designated concrete washout area(s). Proper signage shall be placed adjacent to the facility to designate the “Concrete Washout Area”. Locate the facility a minimum of 100-feet from drainage swales, storm drain inlets, wetlands, streams, and other surface waters. Prevent surface water from entering the washout area. The hardened residue from the concrete wash areas will be disposed of in the same manner as other non-hazardous construction waste materials. Maintenance of the washout area shall include removal of hardened material when 75% of the storage capacity is filled, and a minimum freeboard of 12 inches shall be maintained. The Contractor will be responsible for seeing that these procedures are followed. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 12 The project may require the use of multiple concrete washout areas based on the frequency of concrete pours. 5.4.7 Material Storage Construction materials shall be stored in a dedicated staging area. The staging area shall be located in an area that prevents negative impacts of construction materials on stormwater quality. Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers, and other toxic material must be stored in waterproof containers. Except during application, the contents must be kept in trucks or within storage facilities. Runoff containing such material must be collected, removed from the site, treated, and disposed of at an approved solid waste or chemical disposal facility. 6.0 INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, AND REPORTING 6.1 Inspection and Maintenance Requirements 6.1.1 Pre-Construction Inspection and Certification Prior to the commencement of construction, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall conduct an assessment of the site and certify that the appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been adequately installed and implemented. The Contractor shall contact the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional once the erosion and sediment control measures have been installed. 6.1.2 Construction Phase Inspections and Maintenance A Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional, as defined in Appendix A of the General Permit GP-0-20-001, shall conduct regular site inspections between the time this SWPPP is implemented and final site stabilization. Site inspections shall occur at an interval of at least once every seven (7) calendar days. The purpose of site inspections is to assess performance of pollutant controls. Based on these inspections, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional will decide whether it is necessary to modify this SWPPP, add or relocate sediment barriers, or whatever else may be needed in order to prevent pollutants from leaving the site via stormwater runoff. The general contractor has the duty to cause pollutant control measures to be repaired, modified, maintained, supplemented, or whatever else is necessary in order to achieve effective pollutant control. Examples of particular items to evaluate during site inspections are listed below. This list is not intended to be comprehensive. During each inspection the inspector must evaluate overall pollutant control system performance as well as particular details of individual system components. Additional factors should be considered as appropriate to the circumstances. 1. Locations where vehicles enter and exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking. A stabilized construction access will be constructed where vehicles enter and exit. This access will be maintained or supplemented as necessary to prevent sediment from leaving the site on vehicles. 2. Sediment barriers must be inspected and, if necessary, they must be enlarged or cleaned in order to provide additional capacity. All material from behind sediment barriers will be stockpiled on the up slope side. Additional sediment barriers must be constructed as needed. 3. Inspections will evaluate disturbed areas and areas used for storing materials that are exposed to rainfall for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. If Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 13 necessary, the materials must be covered or original covers must be repaired or supplemented. Also, protective berms must be constructed, if needed, in order to contain runoff from material storage areas. 4. Grassed areas will be inspected to confirm that a healthy stand of grass is maintained. The site has achieved final stabilization once all areas are covered with building foundation or pavement, or have a stand of grass with at least 80 percent density. The density of 80 percent or greater must be maintained to be considered as stabilized. Areas must be watered, fertilized, and reseeded as needed to achieve this goal. 5. All discharge points must be inspected to determine whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing significant impacts to receiving waters. The inspection reports must be completed entirely and additional remarks should be included if needed to fully describe a situation. An important aspect of the inspection report is the description of additional measures that need to be taken to enhance plan effectiveness. The inspection report must identify whether the site was in compliance with the SWPPP at the time of inspection and specifically identify all incidents of non-compliance. Within one (1) business day of the completion of an inspection, the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional shall notify the Owner/Operator and appropriate contractor or subcontractor of any corrective actions that need to be taken. The contractor or subcontractor shall begin implementing the corrective actions within one (1) business day of the notification and shall complete the corrective actions in a reasonable time frame. In addition to the inspections performed by the Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional, the Contractor shall perform routine inspections that include a visual check of all erosion and sediment control measures. All inspections and maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the inspection and maintenance schedule provided on the accompanying plans. Sediment removed from erosion and sediment control measures will be exported from the site, stockpiled for later use, or used immediately for general non-structural fill. It is the responsibility of the general contractor to assure the adequacy of site pollutant discharge controls. Actual physical site conditions or contractor practices could make it necessary to install more structural controls than are shown on the accompanying plans. (For example, localized concentrations of runoff could make it necessary to install additional sediment barriers, sediment traps, etc.) Assessing the need for additional controls and implementing them or adjusting existing controls will be a continuing aspect of this SWPPP until the site achieves final stabilization. 6.1.3 Temporary Suspension of Construction Activities For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been temporarily suspended (e.g. Winter shutdown) and temporary stabilization measures have been applied to all disturbed areas, the frequency of Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional inspections can be reduced to once every 30 calendar days. Prior to reducing the frequency of inspections, the Owner/Operator shall notify the NYSDEC Region 5 stormwater contact person and the City of Saratoga Springs in writing. 6.1.4 Partial Project Completion For construction sites where soil disturbance activities have been shut down with partial project completion, all areas disturbed as of the project shutdown date have achieved final stabilization, and all post-construction stormwater management practices required for the completed portion of the project have been constructed in conformance with the SWPPP and are operational, the inspections by the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 2230803 Page 14 Qualified Inspector/Qualified Professional can stop. Prior to the shutdown, the Owner/Operator shall notify the NYSDEC Region 5 stormwater contact person and the City of Saratoga Springs in writing. If soil disturbance activities have not resumed within two years from the date of shutdown, a Notice of Termination (NOT) shall be properly completed and submitted to the NYSDEC. 6.1.5 Post-Construction Inspections and Maintenance Inspections and maintenance of final stabilization measures shall be performed in accordance with Appendix F, once all disturbed areas are stabilized. 6.2 Reporting Requirements 6.2.1 Inspection Reports Pursuant to Part IV.C of GP-0-20-001, inspection reports shall be prepared for the duration of construction, as outlined herein, and shall be signed by the Qualified Inspector or Qualified Professional.

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   Appendix H: Labella certifying professionals letter       February 17, 2022 RE: LaBella Certifying Professionals for NYSDEC SPDES GP-20-001 To Whom it May Concern: In accordance with the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit GP 0-20-001, part VII.H.2, the New York State licensed Professional Engineers employed by LaBella Associates and listed on the attachment to this letter are duly authorized to sign and seal Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs), NOIs, and NOTs prepared under their direct supervision.

Ferguson Chief Permit Administrator Address: NYS DEC Division of Environmental Permits 625 Broadway, 4th Floor Albany, N.Y. 12233-1750 I PREFACE Pursuant to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), stormwater discharges from certain construction activities are unlawful unless they are authorized by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit or by a state permit program. 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 1 (Part I.B.1) 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 2 (Part I.B.1.b) 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; 3 (Part I.B.1.e.iii) (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. 4 (Part I.C.2.a.ii) 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 5 (Part I.C.2.b.i) 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. 6 (Part I.C.2.c) 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 7 (Part I.C.2.d) 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. To address the water quality standard violation the owner or operator may need to provide additional information, include and implement appropriate controls in the SWPPP to correct the problem, or obtain an individual SPDES permit. If there is evidence indicating that despite compliance with the terms and conditions of this general permit it is demonstrated that the stormwater discharges authorized by this permit are causing or contributing to a violation of water quality standards, or if the Department determines that a modification of the permit is necessary to prevent a violation of water quality standards, the authorized discharges will no longer be eligible for coverage under this permit. The Department may require the owner or operator to obtain an individual SPDES permit to continue discharging. 8 (Part I.E) E. Eligibility Under This General Permit 1.
