GENERAL: _ 1. Furnish materials and necessary accessories, with strengths, thickness, coatings, and fittings indicated, specified and/or necessary to complete the work. 2. All excavation shall provide an open area conforming to the outside diameter of the casing and/or carrier conduit. The excavation shall be to an alignment and grade which will allow the carrier conduit to be installed to proper line and grade as om shown on the Plans and as established in the Specifications. 3. Work shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Fort Worth Water Department, the Texas Department of Transportation, or railroad company, as applicable. B. MATERIALS: 1. Casing Pipe: Casing pipe shall be steel conforming to ANSI 1336.10 and the om following: a. Field Strength: 35,000 psi minimum. om b. Wall thickness: 0.312 in. minimum (0.5 for railroad crossings). C. Diameter: As shown on the drawings (minimum size requirements). om d. Joints: Continuous circumferential weld in accordance with AWS D1.1. 2. Carrier Pipe in Casing: Carrier pipe shall be as shown on drawings and as specified in the General Contract Documents. 3. Sewer Pipe without Casing Pipe: Shall be minimum Class 51 ductile iron pipe, or as designated on the plans. 4. Grout: Grout shall be Portland Cement grout of min. 2000 psi compressive strength at 28 days. Proportioned not less than 1 cu. ft. of cement to 3 cu. ft. of fine sand with sufficient water added to provide a free flowing thick slurry. C. EXECUTION .. 1. Where sewer pipe is required to be installed under railroad embankments or under highways, streets or other facilities in other than open cut, construction shall be 102104 ASC-4 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS performed in such a manner so as to not interfere with the operation of the railroad, street, highway, or other facility, and so as not to weaken or damage any .. embankment or structure. During construction operations, barricades and lights to safeguard traffic and pedestrians shall be furnished and maintained, until such time as the backfill has been completed and then shall be removed from the site. 2. Pits and Trenches: a. If the grade of the pipe at the end is below the ground surface, suitable pits .� or trenches shall be excavated for the purpose of conducting the jacking or tunneling operations and for placing end joints of the pipe. Wherever end trenches are cut in the sides of the embankment or beyond it, such work shall be sheeted securely and braced in a manner to prevent earth from caving in. .. b. The location of the pit shall meet the approval of the Engineer. C. The pits of trenches excavated to facilitate these- operations shall be ,., backfilled immediately after the casing and carrier pipe installation has been completed. 3. Boring and Jacking Steel Casing Pipe: Steel casing pipe shall be installed by boring hole with the earth auger and simultaneously jacking pipe into place. a. The boring shall proceed from a pit provided for the boring equipment and workmen. The holes are to be bored mechanically. The boring shall be done using a pilot hole. By this method an approximate 2-inch hole shall be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for line and grade on the opposite end of the bore from the work pit. This pilot hole shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Other methods of maintaining line and grade on the casing may be approved if acceptable to the Engineer. Excavated material°shall be placed near the top of the working pit and disposed of as required. The use of water or other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to ., the extent required to lubricate cuttings. Jetting or sluicing will not be permitted. b. In unconsolidated soil formations, a gel-forming colloidal drilling fluid consisting of at least 10 percent of high grade carefully processed bentonite may be used to consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of the hole, and furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and installation of the pipe immediately thereafter. C. Allowable variation from the line and grade shall be as specified under paragraph A.2. All voids between bore and outside of casing shall be pressure grouted. 11102104 ASC-5 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS 4. Installation of Carrier Pipe in Casing: a. Sanitary sewer pipe located within the encasement pipe shall be supported by "skids" or "bands" to prevent the pipe and bells from snagging on the inside of the casing, and to keep the installed line from resting on the bells. b. All skids shall be treated with a wood preservative. Skids should extend for the full length of the pipe with the exception of the bell area and spigot area necessary for assembly unless otherwise specified. C. The Contractor shall prevent over-belling the pipe while installing it through the casing. A method of restricting the movement between the assembled bell and spigot where applicable shall be provided. d. At all bored, jacked, or tunneled installations, the annular space between the carrier pipe and casing shall be filled with grout. Care must be taken .. that not too much water is forced into the casing so as not to float the pipe. The backfill material will not be required unless specified on the plans and specified by the Engineer. _ e. Closure of the casing after the pipe has been installed shall be plugged at the ends of the casing as shown on the drawings or as required by the Engineer. 5. Boring and Jacking Ductile Iron Pipe without Casing Pipe: a. As indicated on drawings and as required and directed by the Engineer sewer shall be constructed of bore and jacked ductile iron pipe. b. When a casing pipe is not designated on the drawings, the contractor shall provide a casing pipe if necessary to achieve line and grade. Casing pipe shall be provided at no additional. cost and shall be subsidiary to the cost bid for installation By Other than Open Cut. C. Bore and jack in accordance with paragraph C.3. above. —. d. Short length of sewer consisting of a single pipe section may be installed by jacking without a bore hole if permitted by the Engineer and in soft soil layer. All voids outside of installed pipe shall be pressure grouted. 6. Tunneling: Where the characteristics of the soil, the size of the proposed pipe, or the use of monolithic sewer would make the use of tunneling more satisfactory .. than jacking or boring, or when shown on the plans, a tunneling method may be used, with the approval of the Engineer or railroad/highway officials. a. When tunneling is permitted, the lining of the tunnel shall be of sufficient strength of support the overburden. The Contractor shall submit the proposed liner method to the Engineer for approval. The tunnel liner design shall bear the seal of a licensed professional engineer in the State 11/02/04 ASCI-6 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS of Texas. Approval by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for the adequacy of the liner method. b. The space between the tunnel liner and the limits of excavation shall be pressure grouted or mud-jacked. C. Access holes for placing concrete shall be space at maximum intervals of 10 feet. .. D. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: Installation of pipe by other than open cut will be measured by the linear foot of pipe, complete in place. Such measurement will be made between the ends of the pipe along the central axis as installed. The work performed and materials furnished as prescribed by this item will be paid for at the Contract Unit Price bid per linear foot for Pipe Installed by Other Than Open Cut of the type, size, and class of pipe specified as shown on plans. The furnishing of all materials, pipe, liner materials required for installation, for all preparation, hauling and installing of same, and for all labor, tools, equipment and incidentals necessary to complete the work, including excavation, backfilling and disposal of surplus material shall be included in the Contract Unit Price as shown in the Bid Proposal. Payment shall not include pavement replacement, which if required, shall be paid separately. DA-7 TYPE OF CASING PIPE 1. WATER: The casing pipe for open cut and bored or tunneled section shall be AWWA C-200 Fabricated Electrically Welded Steel Water Pipe, and shall conform to the provisions of E1-15, E1-5 and E1-9 in Material Specifications of General Contract Documents and Specifications for Water Department Projects. The steel casing pipe shall be supplied as follows: A.

INSTALLATION OF THE FILTER FABRIC (GEOTEXTILE): The geotextile shall be placed in the manner and at the locations shown on the drawings. At the time of installation, the geotextile shall be rejected if it has defects, rips, holes, flaws, deterioration or damage incurred during manufacture, transportation or storage. The surface to receive the geotextile shall be prepared to a relatively smooth condition free 11102104 ASC-10 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS of obstructions, depressions, debris, and soft or low density pockets of material. Erosion features such as rills, gullies, etc. must be graded out of the surface before geotextile placement. The geotextile shall be placed with the long dimension perpendicular to the centerline of the channel and laid smooth and free of tension, stress, folds, wrinkles, or creases. The strips shall be placed to provide a minimum width of 24-inches of overlap for each joint. Temporary pinning of the textile to help hold it in place until the rock riprap is placed. The temporary pins shall be removed as the riprap is placed to relieve high tensile stress which may occur during placement of material on the geotextile. The specified placement procedure requires that the length of the geotextile be greater than the actual slope length. The Contractor shall adjust the actual length,of the geotextile used based on initial installation experience. The geotextile shall be protected at all times during construction from contamination by surface runoff and any geotextile so contaminated shall be removed and replaced with uncontaminated geotextile. Any geotextile damaged during its installation or during placement of riprap shall be replaced by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner.

Before placement of gabion units, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the placement technique will prevent damage to the geotextile. In no case shall any type of equipment be allowed on the unprotected geotextile. 3. RIPRAP PLACEMENT: Stone for riprap shall be placed on the filter fabric blanket in such a manner as to produce a reasonably well graded mass of rock with the minimum practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed within the specified tolerance to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Then intent of these specifications is to require placement of riprap to the thickness shown and to allow isolated stones to extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shall be placed to its full course thickness at one operation and in such a manner as to avoid displacing the fabric. The larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire mass of stones in their final position shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefore. The finished riprap shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones .. throughout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry or other source, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing, or by other ethods of placement which will produce the specified results. .. Rearranging of individual stones, by mechanical equipment or by hand will be required to the extent necessary to obtain a reasonably well graded- distribution of stone specified above. The Contractor shall maintain the riprap protection until accepted. Any material displaced by any cause shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings. 4. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cement, water and air-entraining admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of Portland cement to 3 parts of sand, sufficient water to produce a workable mixture, and that amount of admixture which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, as determined by the .. ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of paragraph: FINE AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete mixer in the manner specified for concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary to produce a 11102104 ASC-11 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS mixture having,a consistency such as to permit gravity flow into the interstices of the riprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the work within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be permitted. Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35 degree F. or above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor when the grout, without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing — temperatures before final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of riprap shall be wetted. The riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately 10 feet in width, commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall be brought to the place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be permitted to flow on the riprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately after dumping the batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by the use of brooms and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades, .. trowels, or vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from the top surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of the stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hours. The grouted surface shall be protected from rain, flowing water, and mechanical injury. The surface of all grouted riprap shall be cured by keeping the surface continuously wet for a period of not less than 7 days. E. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT .. 1.

For designing restrained joints, the following minimum pressures shall be taken into account: Maximum test pressure=220 psig Maximum operating pressure = 195 psig Surge=30 psig Maximum operating+surge pressure=225 psig The design for restrained joints, including the length necessary to resist the design thrust and the certified approval of the fill material and compaction, shall be performed and sealed by a Texas Registered Professional Engineer, obtained by the CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall bear all costs for the design and will not receive reimbursement from the OWNER. The length of pipe with restrained joints to resist thrust forces shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 9 of the AWWA M-9 manual and in accordance with the following minimum requirements: 1. The weight of earth (WB) shall be calculated as the weight of the projected soil column above the pipe. 2. Soil Density: 110 lbs/ft3. 3. Coefficient of Friction: 0.3. 4. All backfill above the pipe springline shall be compacted to a minimum of 85 percent standard density (AASHO T-99) in areas where pipe joints are restrained. The above applies to unsaturated soil conditions. In locations where ground water is encountered, the soil density shall be reduced to its buoyant weight for all backfill below the water table and the coefficient of friction shall be reduced to 0.25. 15021-1 October 20,2005 RESTRAINED JOINTS F:\projects\318\32051Doc\.Specs\.5pecs_Fnah15021.doc 318-3205 PART 2 - RESTRAINED JOINTS FOR DUCTILE IRON PIPE All designated fittings shall be restrained using restrained joint pipe and fittings for a sufficient length to resist the design thrust.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS-DESIGNERS-SCIENTISTS ..1 i;;.1i ._ ...... t EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated storm water regulations pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)Program. Texas is an NPDES delegated state and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality m (TCEQ) continues to administer the general construction peimit for storm water activities at this time. This storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been.developed in accordance with the conditions of the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activity authorized pursuant to TCEQ TPDES Program. The purpose of the SWPPP is to minimize the potential release of pollutants directly or indirectly into the storm water collection system or waters of the United States. To achieve this objective, the permittee(s) will be required to implement the TCEQ TPDES policies and procedures presented in this SWPPP including, but not limited to, the following: • File a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the TCEQ at. least 48 hours prior to the beginning of construction activities (a copy of'the NOI is located in Attachment M1 2). Upon receipt, place a copy of the Permit Coverage Notice from TCEQ in Attachment 3. .r • Submit a copy of the NOI to the local municipalities receiving storm water discharges from the site. • Prominently post in place fol'public viewing.at the construction site (such as along side a building permit) a copy of the.following: the NPDES permit number - for the project or a copy of theNOI if a permit number has-not yet been assigned; the name and telephone number of a local..contact person; a brief project description; and the location of the SWPPP if the site is inactive or does not have an on-site location to store the plan. FAprojects\318132050offurde Creek 3WPPP.doc ES-1 10/25/2005 9:53 AM • Implement and properly maintain all erosion and sediment control presented in this SWPPP. • Maintain a record of the dates when major grading activities occur, when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a portion of the Project site and when final stabilization measures are implemented (a copy of the Record of Temporary/Permanent Ceasing of Construction Activities sheet is provided in Attachment 10). • Conduct regular inspections of the erosion and sediment control. These inspections must occur at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm that is 0.5 inches or greater (a copy of the Inspection Report sheet is provided in Attachment 15). • Based on the outcome of the inspections, implement any needed repairs or - modifications to the control(s) within seven calendar days following the inspection. 'Modifications specific to construction projects must be approved by the City of Fort Worth Department of Engineering prior to implementation by the Contractor and/or subcontractors.

Based on the on-site observations, no impacts to Federally or State listed species, proposed species, candidate species, or designated and proposed critical habitat are anticipated for the proposed project. With respect to'jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and other important fish and wildlife habitat, the proposed project will not significantly impact these resources. A letter dated October 21, 2005 for a Section 404 Permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers describing the Jurisdictional Waters of the United States as well as a summary of potential FAprojects\318\3205\Doc\Turtle Creek S WPPP.doc 9 10/25/2005 9:53 AM effected impact to threatened and endangered species in Tarrant County is provided in Attachment 12. 1.18 TCEQ Permit Requirements A copy of the TCEQ General Permit Number 1500000 Relating to Discharges from Construction Activities is provided in Attachment 14. 2.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS 2.1 Performance Standards - In keeping in compliance with Part IV.D.2.a of the TCEQ's General Construction Permit, the following short- and long-term goals and criteria need to be applied. It is TCEQ's intent that erosion and sediment controls should be designed to retain sediment on-site to the extent practicable. All control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and good engineering practices. If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used inappropriately, or incorrectly, the permittee must replace or modify the control ° for site conditions. If sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment must be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impacts (e.g., fugitive sediment in street could be washed into storm sewers by the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets). - F:\pmjects\318\3205\Doc\Turt1e Creek SWPPP.doc 10 10/25/2005.9:53 AM 2.2 Erosion and Sediment Controls Erosion and sediment control practices can be divided into three broad categories: (1) soil stabilization, (2) structural controls, and (3) management practices. Each of these categories has temporary and permanent control measures to be considered. Soil stabilization and structural practices should be selected and designed in accordance with iSWM Design Manual for Construction (Best Management Practices (BMP) Manual). This manual is available through the w North Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). Not all of the structural controls discussed in,the BMP Manual will necessarily apply to this project. Management practices are construction management techniques that, if properly utilized, can minimize the need for physical controls and possibly reduce costs. 2.2.1 Soil Stabilization Where land disturbance -is necessary, the following methods of soil stabilization will include the following and detail located in Attachment 7: Temporary seeding • Permanent seeding • Mulching • Geotextiles • Sod stabilization • Vegetative buffer strips • Preservation of trees Contouring and protection of sensitive areas The TPDES General Permit requires stabilization measures to be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, and except_as_..pro. F:\projects\318\3205\Doc\TuNe Cmek MPPAce 11 10/25/2005 Q:S3,AM, must be initiated no more than fourteen (14) days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased. • Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14I`day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground conditions, stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable. • Where construction activity on a portion of the site is temporarily ceased, and earth-disturbing activities will be resumed within twenty-one (21) days, temporary stabilization measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of site. • During a period of drought where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 10 day after construction activity has temporarily - or permanently ceased is precluded by seasonal and conditions, stabilization measures must be initiate as soon as practicable. Permanent vegetation will include native grasses, shrubs, and trees. 2.2.2 Structural Controls Erosion and sediment controls should be selected, designed and constructed according to the standards in the BMP Manual and construction drawings. Listed below are the structural controls to be used at the Project site and a copy of construction details for these controls are provided in Attachment 7. • Silt fences • Rock check dams/gabions F:AprojeWU18132051Doc\Turtle Creek SWPPP.doc 12 10/25/2005 9:53 AM • Curb inlet protectors m The construction site will require silt fences or equivalent sediment controls for all side-slope and down-slope boundaries of the construction area. The location of these devices can be found on the Erosion Control Plan in Attachment 8. 2.2.3 Management Practices The following are some management considerations that should be employed in conjunction with the erosion and sediment controls described above: • Sequence construction so that no area remains exposed for unnecessarily long periods of time. • Anticipate the site conditions that will exist as the construction progresses toward the final product. • Have the materials on-hand to complete the work without delay. • Apply temporary stabilization immediately after grading. • Stage the construction, if possible, so that one area can be stabilized before another is disturbed. • Install erosion and sediment controls immediately. • Consider the time of year;be prepared for sudden thunderstorms. F:\projectsl31813205\Doc\TuNe Creek SWPPP.doc 13 10/25/2005 9:53 AM • Use straw mulch for grass seed,especially during poor germination periods. • Physically mark off limits of disturbance on the site with tape, signs or other methods, so that workers can see areas to be protected. • Carry out a regular maintenance schedule for erosion and sediment control practices. • Designate one individual responsible for implementing the erosion and sediment control plan. Make sure that all workers understand the provisions of the erosion and sediment control plan. Establish reporting procedures for problems identified by workers. 2.3 Storm Water Management Controls During the construction activities, storm water will be managed through the erosion and sediment controls discussed in this SWPPP. Permanent storm water management controls are presented in the construction drawings. 2.4 Other Controls 2.4.1 Solid Waste Disposal No solid material, including building materials, is permitted to be discharged to surface waters or buried.on-site. All solid waste materials, including disposable materials incidental to the construction activity, must be collected in containers or closed dumpsters. The collection containers must be emptied periodically and the collected material hauled to alandfill FAprojects1318132050oc1Turde Creek SWPPP.doc 14 10/25/2005 9:53 AM - permitted by the State and/or appropriate local municipality to accept the waste for disposal. A foreman or supervisor should be designated in writing to oversee, enforce and instruct construction workers on proper solid waste procedures. 2.4.2 Hazardous Waste Whenever possible, minimise the use of hazardous materials and generation of hazardous wastes. All hazardous waste materials will be disposed in the manner specified by federal, state, local regulations or by A the manufacturer. Use containment berms in fueling and maintenance areas and where potential for spills are high. A foreman or supervisor should be designated in writing to oversee, enforce and instruct construction workers on proper hazardous waste procedures. The operator should indicate the location of any hazardous waste storage areas on the storm water pollution prevention plan. Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not resealable. Original labels and material safety data will be retained; they contain important product information. 2.4.3 Dust Control/Off--Site Vehicle Tracking F:lprojects\318132050oclTurde Creek SWPPP.doc 15 10/25/2005 9:53 AM During construction, water trucks should be used, as needed, by each contractor or subcontractor to reduce dust. After construction, the site should be stabilized to reduce dust. Construction traffic should enter and exit the site at a Construction Entrance with a rock pad or equivalent device as illustrated in Attachment 9. The purpose of the rock pad is to minimize the amount of soil and mud that is tracked onto existing streets. If sediment escapes the construction site, offsite accumulations of sediment must be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize offsite impacts. 2.4.4 Concrete Truck Washout During concrete construction, concrete washout areas should be designated and clearly marked. An acceptable washout location will have the following characteristics: 0 Washout water cannot leave location, which is insured by installing silt fence around the area and having a slight depression to catch the concrete. • When the concrete is set , the waste concrete shall be disposed in an appropriate landfill. • Washout will not impact future land uses • Permission to washout has been granted by the property owner • The location is readily accessible to concrete trucks • When a washout area is no longer being used, it will be stabilized and seeded FAprojectsl318132050offurfle Creek SWPPP.doc 16 10/25/2005 9:53 AM ° y 2.4.5 Sanitary/Septic Contractors and subcontractors must comply with all state and local sanitary sewer, portable toilet or septic system regulations. Each contractor or subcontractor shall provide sanitary facilities at the site throughout construction activities. The sanitary facilities should be utilized by all construction personnel and be serviced regularly. All expenses associated with providing sanitary facilities are the responsibility . of the contractors and subcontractors. The operator of said facilities should indicate the location of any sanitary facilities on the erosion and sediment control site. Sanitary waste will be collected from these portable units as necessary. 2.4.6 Water Source Non-potable water may be used to establish and maintain grass, to control dust, and for other construction purposes which do not require the use of potable water. Potable water if used, must originate from a public water supply or private well approved by the State or local health department. 2.4.7 Equipment Fueling and Storage Areas During construction the contractor and subcontractors should employ the following practices: • Equipment fueling, maintenance and cleaning should only be done in protected areas (i.e., bermed area). Leaking equipment and maintenance fluids will be collected and not allowed to discharge onto soil where they may be washed away during a rain event. ®° F:\projects\318\3205\Doc\Turtle Creek SWPPP.doc 17 10/25/2005 9:53 AM • Equipment wash down (except for wheel washes) should take place within an area surrounded by a berm. The use of detergents is prohibited. 2.4.8 Hazardous Material Storage Chemicals, paints, solvents, fertilizers and other toxic or hazardous materials should be stored in their original containers (if original container is not resealable, store the products in clearly labeled, waterproof containers). Except during application, the containers should be kept in trucks or in bermed areas within covered storage facilities. Runoff - containing such materials shall be collected, removed from the site and disposed of in accordance with the federal, state and local regulations. As may'be required by federal, state or local regulations, the Contractor should have a Hazardous Materials Management Plan and/or Hazardous Materials Spill and Prevention Program in place. A foreman or supervisor should be designated in writing to oversee, enforce and instruct construction workers on proper hazardous materials storage and handling procedures. The operator following on-site location of the storage areas should indicate the location of any hazardous material storage areas on the storm water pollution prevention plan. 3.0 APPROVED STATE OR LOCAL PLANS The following local regulations and/or guidelines should be followed during the construction activities: • iSWM Design Manual for Construction F:\projects\318\3205\Doc\Turtle Creek SWPPP.doc 18 10/25/2005 9:53 AM 4.0 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE The following items are to be integrated into the inspection and maintenance program: wm 4.1 Inspection Schedule/Reporting All impacted areas, as well as all erosion and sediment control devices, will be inspected every fourteen.(14) calendar days and within 24 hours after a rainfall of 0.5 inches or greater. Walk-throughs should be conducted prior to anticipated storm events. Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized, such inspections shall be conducted at least once every month. Inspections shall be conducted, and a written report prepared,by a designated and qualified person familiar with the TPDES Storm Water General Permit, this SWPPP, and the Project. The Contractors will conduct the inspections and annotate the findings. Inspection reports are not required for walk-throughs in - anticipation of storm events. City of Fort Worth Department of Engineering personnel may conduct additional inspections. Inspection reports shall be completed including scope of the inspection, name(s) and qualifications of personnel. making the inspection, the date of the inspection, observations relating to the implementation of the SWPPP, and any actions taken as a result of incidents of non compliance noted during the inspection. The inspection report should state whether the site was in compliance and identify any incidents of noncompliance. The report shall be signed in accordance with the signatory requirements in Part VI of the Construction General Permit located in Attachment 14. Standard Permit Conditions section of the Constrtiction General Permit and filed in this SWPPP. The contractor will submit the inspection reports to the authorized signatory for the City of Fort Worth Department of Engineering. Samples of the various reports that should be maintained are listed '" F:\projects\318\3205\Doe\Turt1e Creek SWPPP.doe 19 10/25/2005 9:53 AM below. Inspection reports shall be kept in this SWPPP for at least three years from the date the site achieves stabilization. • SWPPP Inspection Report(Attachment 15) • SWPPP Non-Storm Water Inspection Report(Attachment 17) - a Record of Temporary/Permanent ceasing of construction, Soil Stabilization and Major Grading Activities(Attachment 10) — • SWPPP Record of Revisions (Attachment 16) 4.2 Material Storage Inspections Inspectors must evaluate areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation. The purpose is to ensure that materials are protected and/or impounded so that pollutants cannot discharge from storage areas. Offsite material storage areas used solely by the subject project are considered to be part of the project by the EPA and must be included in the erosion control plans and the site inspection reports. 4.3 Maintenance/Inspection Procedures A SWPPP Inspection Report (Attachment 15) shall be completed after each inspection event. The following maintenance/inspection procedures will be observed: a. Control measures will be inspected at least once following any rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater. b. Control measurers will be maintained in good working order. If a repair is necessary, it will be initiated within 24 hours of'the discovery of the problem. F:\projects\31W205\Doc\Turtle Creek SWPPP.doc 20 10/25/2005 9:53 AM C. All controls should be inspected at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days (every day for sandbag berms). It is also recommended that "walk throughs" be conducted prior to storm events. d. Silt fence will be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, to see if the fabric is securely attached to,the posts, and to see that the posts are firmly in the ground. e. Built up sediment will be removed from silt fence when it has reached one-third the height of the fence. L Diversion dikes will be inspected and any breaches promptly repaired. g. Seeded areas will be inspected to confirm that a healthy stand of vegetation is maintained. The site has achieved final stabilization once all areas are covered with pavement, or have a stand of vegetation with at least 70% of the background vegetation density. The density of 70% or greater must be maintained to be considered as stabilized. The operator or their representative will water, fertilize and reseed disturbed areas as needed to achieve this goal. h. In the event that sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment must be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize adverse impacts. An example of this may be the situation where sediment has washed into the street and could be carried into the storm sewers by the next rainfall and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets. i. A written maintenance inspection report will be made after each inspection, by a designated and qualified person familiar with the US FAprojectsl318\92050offurtle Creek 3WPPP.doc 21 10/25/2005 9:53 AM TCEQ NPDES Storm Water General Permit, this SWPPP, and the Project. City of Fort Worth personnel, contractors and subcontractors will conduct the inspections and write- up the findings. Inspection reports are not required for "walls throughs" in anticipation of storm events. The report will document needed maintenance of control measures and actions taken. It is recommended that photographs be included in the report. j.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 1. Pollution Prevention Plan(PPP) This plan identifies the areas and activities that could produce contaminated runoff at your site and then tells how you will ensure that this contamination is mitigated.For example,in describing your mitigation measures,your site's plan might identify the devices that collect and filter storm water,tell how those i devices are to be maintained,and tell how frequently that maintenance is to be carried out.You must develop this plan in accordance with the TCEQ general permit requirements. This plan must be developed and implemented before you complete this NOI. This plan must be available fora TCEQ investigator to review on request. 2. Estimated Area of Land Disturbed Provide the approximate number of acres that the construction site will disturb. Construction activities that disturb less than one acres,unless they are part of a larger common plan that disturbs more than one acre,do not require permit coverage. Construction activities that disturb between one and five acres,unless they are part of a common plan that disturbs more than five acres,do not require submission of an NOI. Therefore,the estimated area of land disturbed should not be less than five,unless the project is part of a larger common plan that disturbs five or more acres. If the acreage is less than 1, enter 1. "Disturb”means any clearing,grading,excavating,or other similar activities. If you have any questions about this item,please call the storm water technical staff at(512)239-4671. 3. Receiving Water Body The storm water from your site eventually reaches a receiving water body such as a local stream or lake,possibly via a drainage ditch. The discharge may initially be into a municipal separate storm sewer system(MS4). If applicable,provide the name of the entity that operates the MS4 where the storm water discharges.An MS4 operator is often a city,town,or utility district,but possibly another form of government. You must provide the name of the waterbody that receives the discharge from the construction site(a local stream or lake). Storm water may be discharged directly to a receiving stream or through a MS4. If known,please include the segment number if the discharge is to a classified water body. awr TCEQ-20022-Instructions (07/12/2004) Page 5 of 6 G.

This section provides design criteria for a variety of techniques to address these issues. These Best Management Practices(BMPs)consist of both temporary and permanent methods to reduce pollution from a construction site. The majority of BMPs address soil loss from the site. For construction sites, soil loss In the form of erosion and sediment due to storm events and wind constitute the majority of pollution generated from construction sites. BMPs that address erosion and sediment control are typically more site specific than waste and toxics management. Erosion and.sediment control BMPs are dependent on site slopes, drainage patterns and drainage quantities along with other site-specific conditions. Materials and waste management consists primarily of"good housekeeping"practices which are dependent on the type of construction and the quantity and type of building materials. 4.2 BMP Selection Guide In preparing the SWPPP,the designer can first use the BMP selection guide on the following pages to determine BMPs applicable to the site. The fact sheets following the selection guide detail the design requirements, maintenance requirements, limitations,and purpose of each of theJechniques. .These provide the tools for the designer to select the appropriate BMPs and properly locate them on the site, effectively reducing erosion.and sediment loss. The Efficiency Ratings listed for the BMPs are the assumed efficiencies in reducing erosion or trapping sediment for the BMP, assuming the BMPs are designed, installed, and maintained in accordance with the Fact Sheets and based on accommodating the flow and volumes from the design storm. The ratings are useful in comparing the effectiveness of the BMPs. The Efficiency Rating is also used in calculating the Site Rating,which is used by some local governments to ensure adequate SWPPP Design. Appendix E has additional details concerning the BMP Efficiency Ratings and the methodology for calculating the Site Rating. iSWM Design Manual for Construction 41 December 2003 4.2.1 Erosion Prevention These BMPs protect the soil to reduce erosion. They are primarily used in perimeter areas around construction sites to either limit flows across the site or limit the erosion in areas disturbed but not active. BMP BMP Name Primary Purpose Efficiency ID Rating(Fe) E-1 Interceptor Swale Route flows around areas of disturbance 1.0 E-2 Diversion Dike Route flows around areas of disturbance 1.0 E-3 Pipe Slope Drain Route overland flow on a slope into a pipe Varies to protect the slope E-4 I Vegetation Provide natural soil protection through 0.90 seeding, hydromulch or phasing E-5 Mulching Protect disturbed soil with a layer of hay, 0.90 straw,or other material E-6 Erosion Control Protect disturbed soil or slopes with 0.90 Blankets geoteztile and biodegradable fabrics E-7 Channel Protection Protects the soil through the use of grass- Varies lining,turf reinforcement mats,or riprap E-8 Dust Control Techniques•to limit wind erosion and air- Varies borne soil particles from leaving site f 4.2.2 Sediment Loss Prevention Construction activities normally result in.disturbance on the site due to grading operations, clearing and other operations. Erosion will occur in these disturbed areas,and BMPs must be used to contain the sediment from these disturbed areas.

Materials PRIMARY USE O Oil &Grease Vegetation is used as a temporary or permanent stabilization technique for O Floatable Materials areas disturbed by construction. As a temporary control, vegetation is used to stabilize stockpiles and barren areas that are inactive for long periods of time. O Other Construction As a permanent control, grasses and other vegetation provide good protection Wastes from erosion along with some filtering for overland runoff. Subjected to acceptable runoff velocities, vegetation can provide a positive method of Implementation permanent storm water management as well as a visual amenity to.the site. Requirements Other BMPs may be required to assist during the establishment of vegetation. ® Capital Costs These other techniques include erosion control matting, swales, and dikes to ® Maintenance direct flow around newly seeded areas and proper grading to limit runoff velocities during construction. O Training APPLICATIONS ® Suitability for Slopes Vegetation effectively reduces erosion in swales, stockpiles, berms, mild to 'S% medium slopes, and along roadways. Vegetative strips can provide some protection when used as a perimeter control for utility and site development Legend construction. ® Significant Impact In many cases, the initial cost of temporary seeding may be high compared to ® Medium Impact tarps or covers for stockpiles or other barren areas subject to erosion. This initial cost should be weighed with the amount of time the area is to remain O Low Impact inactive, since maintenance cost for vegetated areas is much less than most 7 Unknown or structural controls. Questionable Impact DESIGN CRITERIA Surtace Preparation Fe®0.90 ❑ Interim or final grading must be completed prior to seeding or sodding. ❑ Install all necessary erosion structures such as dikes, swales, diversions, E-4 etc. prior to seeding or sodding. ❑ Wheii establishing vegetation from seed, groove or furrow slopes steeper s>>� than 3:1 on the contour line before seeding. •-y,ma x North Central Texas T Council of Governments ISWM Design Manual for Construction 417 December 2003 V'eetatio ❑ Provide 4-6 inches of topsoil over rock, gravel or otherwise unsuitable soils. Poor quality topsoil should be amended with compost before applying seed or sod. Amendment should be three parts of topsoil to - one part compost by volume thoroughly blended. ❑ Seed bed should be well pulverized, loose and uniform. Plant Selection,Fedilization and Seeding ❑ Use only high quality, USDA certified seed. ❑ Use an appropriate species or species mixture adapted to local climate, soil conditions and season as shown below, or consult with the local office of the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) or Engineering Extension service as necessary for selection of proper species and application technique in this area. ❑ Seeding rate should be in accordance with the table below or as recommended by the NRCS or Engineering Extension service. - ❑ Fertilizer shall be applied according to the manufacturer's recommendation with proper spreader equipment.Typical application rate for 10-10-10 grade fertilizer is 10 lbs.per 1,000 ft' . ❑ If hydro-seeding is used,do not mix seed and fertilizer more than 30 minutes before application. ❑ Evenly apply seed using cyclone seeder, seed drill,cultipacker,terreseeding,or hydroseeder. ❑ Provide adequate water to aid in establishment of vegetation. ❑ Use appropriate mulching techniques where necessary, especially during cold periods of the year. Sodding ❑ Sod shall be St.Augustine grass, common bermudagrass, buffalograss, an approved hybrid of common Bermudagrass or an approved zoysiagress. ❑ The sod should be mowed prior to sod cuffing so that the height of the grass shall not exceed 2-inches and should not be harvested or planted when its moisture condition is so excessively wet or dry that Its survival shall be affected. ❑ Sod shall be planted within 3-days after it is excavated. ❑ In areas subject to direct sunlight, pre-moisten prepared sod bed by watering immediately prior to °- placing sod. ❑ Sodded areas shall be thoroughly watered immediately after they are planted. ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ❑ Establishing a good vegetative cover is dependent of the season of the year. Projects that commence in the fall of the year may not be candidates for vegetation used as a BMP. O Where vegetation is used in swales and channels it may be necessary to use sod, rather than seeding, to establish an erosion resistant surface to accommodate rainfall runoff flows. ❑ Where vegetation is used for perimeter control,the use of sod is necessary for a fifteen-foot width. ❑ Mulch should be used to enhance vegetative growth,in that mulch protects seeds from heat, prevents soil moisture loss,and provides erosion protection until the vegetation is established. ❑ Fertilizers-have both beneficial and adverse effects. Fertilizers provide nutrients to the vegetation, but also fertilizers are a source of nutrients to streams and lakes. In this latter regard they are a pollutant. The use of native vegetation rather than exotics reduces the need of fertilizer. Organic fertilizers are generally preferred over chemical fertilizers from the standpoint of environmental conditions. ❑ Steep slopes represent a problem for establishing vegetation. Bonded Fiber Matrix or Mechanically Bonded Fiber Matrix products applied with a tackifier are useful for establishing vegetation on slopes. TEMPORARY VEGETATION The table on the following page lists recommended plant species for the North Central Texas region depending on the season for planting. 418 ISWM Design Manual for Construcdon December 2003 Ver.cLation RECOMMENDED GRASS MIXTURE FOR TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL: SEASON COMMON NAME RATE LBSIACRE Aug 15-Nov 30 Tail Fescue 4.0 Western Wheat Grass 5.0 Wheat Red,Winter 30.0 May 1 -Aug31 Foxtall Millet 30.0 Feb 15—May 31 •Annual Rye 20.0 Se 1 —Dec 31 PERMANENT VEGETATION Grass seed for permanent vegetation can be sown at the same time as seeding for temporary (annual) vegetation. Drought tolerant native vegetation is recommended rather than exotics as a long-term water conservation measure. Native grasses can be planted as seed or placed as sod. Buffaloe 609,for example, Is a hybrid grass that is placed as sod. Fertilizers are not normally used to establish native grasses, but mulching is effective in retaining soil moisture for the native plants.

As a temporary technique, vegetation may be costly when compared to other techniques. Vegetation may require a period of days to weeks before becoming established. Lack of water and lack of or improper use of soil amendments (compost, fertilizer, etc.)will usually result in poor turf establishment. Alternate erosion control (e.g.mulching,sodding vegetative strips, etc)should be used until vegetation can be established. Vegetation is not appropriate for rock, gravel or coarse-grained soils unless 4 to 6 inches of topsoil is applied. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Protect newly seeded areas from excessive runoff and traffic until vegetation is established. A watering and fertilizing schedule will be required as part of the SWPPP to assist in the establishment of the vegetation. Vegetation should be inspected regularly(at least as often as required by the TPDES Construction General Permit, Appendix A) to ensure that the plant material is established properly and remains healthy. Bare spots shall be reseeded and/or protected from erosion by mulch or other BMP. Accumulated sediment deposited by runoff should be removed to prevent smothering of the vegetation. In addition, determine the source of excess sediment and implement appropriate BMPs to control the erosion.

Types of mulch Include organic Materials materials (e.g. compost mixtures), straw, wood chips, bark, or other fibers. Another form of mulch, which has been commercialized, uses straw or other O Oil&Grease material with organic and inorganic binding systems which are typically sprayed over the control area. Some of these products may be very effective on steeper o Floatable Materials slopes where there is no vehicular or foot traffic to disrupt the application until p Other Construction vegetation is established. Mulch should not contain chipped manufactured Wastes boards or chemically treated wood such as particleboard, railroad ties or similar treated wood.

O Suitability for Slopes >5% APPLICATIONS Mulch may be used on most construction-related disturbed area for surface Legend protection including: ® Significant Impact ❑ Freshly seeded or planted areas, Q Areas at risk due to the time period being unsuitable for growing vegetation, ® Medium Impact ❑ Areas that are not conducive to seeding or planting. ❑ Steep slopes (e.g. >31-1:1V), provided the mulch is anchored to the soil by O Low Impact use of a combination of tackifiers and netting,or crimping. ? Unknown or DESIGN CRITERIA Questionable Impact Mulch may be used by itself or in combination with netting or other anchors to promote soil stabilization. Fe=0.90 ❑ Choice of mulch depends largely on slope,climate, and soil type in addition to availability of materials. E-5 ❑ Mulch should be applied in an even and uniform manner where concentrated water flow is negligible. ❑ The application of straw mulch should be approximately 2 tons dry straw per acre spread uniformly across the area. Other forms of mulch, such as <. wood chips or chopped site vegetation, should be placed In thicknesses of two-inches Or greater over the area. North Central Texas Council of Governments iSWM Design Manuai for Construction 4-21 December 2003 Mulchingm FS—traw ulch should be anchored by application of a fiber mulch binder,by the application of a synthetic liquid mulch binder, by using a tractor-drawn crimper to punch into the soil,or by placing a netting above the mulch stapled to the ground, as required. ❑ Mulch hydraulically applied with tackifiers and binding agents is commercially available as a bonded fiber matrix(BFM)which may be particularly effective on slopes steeper than 2.5;1. ❑ Wood chips are suitable for areas that will not require mowing frequently and are heavy enough that they do not require anchoring. They do,however, deplete nitrogen from the soil,which is a necessary nutrient for ail plants.To alleviate this condition;wood chips must be treated with 12 pounds of ammonium nitrate per ton of mulch used. ❑ Bark chips are popular for ornamental applications,as they do not require anchoring,do not decompose _ very rapidly, and serve as an excellent insulation material.When using bark chips,it is not necessary to treat for nitrogen deficiency or to fertilize. ❑ Compost and wood mulch mixtures should be a blend of 50%untreated wood mulch with 50%compost _. measured by volume. Wood mulch should be less than or equal to 5 in.in length with 95%passing a 2- in.screen and less than 30%passing a 1-in.screen. The compost shall meet the Physical Requirements specified in Table 1 of TxDOT Special Specification 1058, Compost,which can be found in Appendix F. - ❑ Prior to the placement of any mulch,the area to be protected must be graded in accordance with plans. ❑ Fertilization and soil treatment should then be done prior to placement of mulch with the exceptions of when seed is to be applied by means of hydro-seed or when seed is distributed following straw mulch spreading during winter months. ❑ Organic mulches may be distributed by hand or my mechanical means,but to be effective a complete covering is required. ❑ Refer to the table on the following page for additional guidance. i LIMITATIONS Mulches are subject to removal by wind or water under severe climatic conditions. Mulches lower the soil temperature,which may result in longer seed germination periods. Mulch should not be applied within the ordinary high-water mark of surface waters,as it can be a potential floatation material. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Mulched areas should be inspected regularly(at least as often as required by the TPDES Construction General Permit,Appendix A)for thin or bare spots caused by natural decomposition or weather related events. Mulch In high traffic areas should be replaced on a regular basis to maintain uniform protection. Excess mulch should be brought to the site and stockpiled for use during the maintenance period to dress problem spots.

Wood Posts may be used depending on anticipated length of service and provided they are 4 feet In length minimum and have a nominal cross section of 2 inches by 4 inches for pine or 2 inches by 2 inches for hardwoods. ❑ Silt fence shall be supported by galvanized steel wire fence fabric as follows: o 4"x 4"mesh size,W1.4/1.4, minimum 14-gauge wire fence fabric; o Hog wire, 12 gauge wire,small openings Installed at bottom of silt fence; o Standard 2"x 2"chain link fence fabric;or o Other welded or woven steel fabrics consisting of equal or smaller spacing as that listed herein and appropriate gauge wire to provide support. ❑ A 6-inch wide trench is to be cut 6 inches deep at the toe of the fence to allow the fabric to be laid below the surface and backfilled with compacted earth or gravel to prevent bypass of runoff under the fence. Fabric shall overlap at abutting ends a minimum of 3 feet and shall be joined such that no leakage or bypass occurs. Q Sufficient room for the operation of sediment removal equipment shall be provided between the silt fence and other obstructions in order to properly maintain the fence. ❑ The ends of the fence shall be turned upstream to prevent bypass of storm water. LIMITATIONS Minor ponding will likely occur at the upstream side of the silt fence, which could result in minor localized flooding. Silt fences are not Intended for use as check dams in swales or low areas subject to concentrated flow. Silt fences shall not be used where soil conditions prevent a minimum toe4n depth of 6 inches or Installation of support posts to a depth of 12 inches. Silt fence can interfere with construction operations; therefore planning of access routes onto the site is critical. Silt fence can fail structurally under heavy storm flows, creating maintenance problems and reducing the effectiveness of the system. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Silt fence should be inspected regularly (at least as often as required by the TPDES Construction General Permit,Appendix A)for buildup of excess sediment, undercutting, sags,and other failures. Sediment should be removed when it reaches approximately one-half the height of the fence. In addition, determine the source of excess sediment and implement appropriate BMPs to control the erosion. If the fabric becomes damaged or clogged, it should be repaired or replaced as necessary.

The impoundment shall be sized such that the volume of excavation shall be equal to 1800 to 3600 cubic feet per acre of S-4 disturbed area entering the Inlet for full effectiveness. North Central Texas Council of Governments ISWM Design Manual for Construction 4.43 December 2003 Inlet Protection DESIGN CRITERIA ❑ Special caution must be exercised when installing inlet protection on publicly traveled streets or in developed areas. Ensure that inlet protection is properly designed, installed and maintained to avoid flooding of the roadway or adjacent properties and structures. ❑ Filter fabric protection shall be designed and maintained in a manner similar to silt fence. • Where applicable, filter fabric, posts, and wire backing shall meet the material requirements specified in BMP Fact Sheet S-1, Silt Fence. ❑ Filter gravel shall be '/ Inch (Block and Gravel Protection) or 1-112 to 2 inch (Excavated Impoundment Protection)washed stone containing no fines. Angular shaped stone is preferable to rounded shapes. ❑ Concrete blocks shall be standard 8"x 8"x 16"concrete masonry units. ❑ Maximum depth of flow shall be eight(8)inches or less. ❑ Positive drainage is critical in the design of inlet protection. If overflow is not provided for at the inlet, excess flows shall be routed through established swales, streets, or other watercourses to minimize damage due to flooding. ❑ Filter Barrier Protection Silt Fence shall consist of nylon geotextile supported by wire mesh,W1.4 X W1.4,and galvanized steel posts set a minimum of 1 foot depth and spaced not more than 6 feet on center.A 6 inch wide trench is to be cut 6 inches deep at the toe of the fence to allow the fabric to be laid below the surface and backfilled with compacted earth or.gravel.This entrenchment prevents any bypass of runoff under the fence. ❑ Block and Gravel Protection,(Curb and Drop Inlets) Concrete blocks are to be placed on their sides in a single row around the perimeter of the inlet, with ends abutting. Openings in the blocks should face outward,not upward. %a" x'/2'wire mesh shall then be placed over the outside face of the.blocks covering the holes. Filter stone shall then be piled against the wire mesh to the top of the blocks with the base of the stone being a minimum of 18 inches from the blocks:Alternatively,where loose stone is a concern(streets,etc.),the filter stone mayb be placed in appropriately sized geotextile fabric bags. Periodically,when the stone filter becomes clogged,the`stone must be removed and cleaned in a proper manner or replaced with new stone and piled back against the wire mesh. ❑ Excavated Impoundment Protection An excavated impoundment shall be sized to provide a storage volume of between 1800 and 3600 cubic feet per acre of disturbed area.The trap shall have a minimum depth of one foot and a maximum depth of 2 feet as measured from the top of the inlet and shall have sideslopes of 2:1 or flatter.Weep holes are to be installed in the inlet walls to allow for the complete dewatering of the the trap.When the storage capacity of the impoundment has been reduced by one-half,the silt shall be removed and disposed in a proper manner. ❑ Inlet inserts are commercially available to remove sediment, constituents (pollutants) adsorbed to sediment, and oil and grease. Maintenance Is required to removesediment and debris that could clog the filters. Inlet inserts must have a bypass function to prevent flooding from clogging or high flows. LIMITATIONS Special caution must be exercised when installing inlet protection on publicly traveled streets or in developed areas. Ensure that inlet protection is properly designed, installed and maintained to avoid flooding of the roadway or adjacent properties and structures. -` Inlet protection is only viable at low point inlets. Inlets that are on a slope cannot be effectively protected because storm water will bypass the inlet and continue downstream, causing an overload condition at Inlets.downstream. 4-44 ISWM Design Manual for Consvucdon December 2003 Inlet Protection MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Inlet protection should be inspected regularly(at least as often as required by the TPDES Construction General Permit, Appendix A). When silt fence Is used and the fabric becomes clogged, it should be cleaned or, if necessary, replaced. Also, sediment should be removed when it reaches approximately one-half the height of the inlet protection device. If a sump is used, sediment should be removed when the volume of the basin is reduced by 50%. For systems using filter stone,when the filter stone becomes clogged with sediment, the stones must be pulled away from the inlet and cleaned or replaced. Since cleaning of stone at a construction site may be difficult, an alternative approach would be to use the clogged stone as fill material and put new stone around the Inlet.

The A horizon has colors in hue of 7.5YR, 10YR, or 2.5Y,value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 2 or 3. The texture is clay loam, loam, or their gravelly, very gravelly, or extremely gravelly counterparts. The underlying material is limestone bedrock that is interbedded with marly or clayey materials at vertical intervals of 3 to about 10 inches. The bedrock is coarsely fractured with fractures about 4 to 10 inches apart. Typically, it can be excavated with a backhoe machine. COMPETING SERIES: These are the Ector.Lueders and Oplin in the same family and the similar Eckert,Eckrant, Eddy, Real and Tarrant series. Ector, Lueders and Oplin soils are in drier climates. In addition,Lueders has developed in Permian limestones. Eckert soils have mixed mineralogy and formed in residuum of dolomitic limestone.Eckrant and Tarrant soils have clayey skeletal control sections and Tarrant soils are in drier climates. Eddy soils lack a mollic epipedon and formed in residuum of the Austin chalk. Real soils are underlain by limestone that has hardness of less than 3 on the Moh's scale. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Aledo soils are on convex shallow uplands. Slopes are mainly 3 to 8 percent,but range from 1 to 40 percent.The slopes of 8 to 40 percent are mostly narrow bands or steep breaks within less sloping areas.The soils formed in interbedded limestones and marls, mainly of Cretaceous age. The mean annual temperature ranges from 64 to 68 degrees F. The average annual precipitation ranges from 29 to 36 inches and Thornthwaite annual P-E indices are 44 to 58.

USE AND VEGETATION: Used for rangeland. Vegetation consists of little bluestem, sideoats grama,indiangrass,buffalograss, and occasionally scattered mesquite and motts of live oak trees. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:North-central Texas,mainly within the Grand Prairie.The - series is extensive. MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Temple, Texas SERIES ESTABLISHED: Parker County,Texas; 1973. - REMARKS: These soils formerly were included in the Tarrant series. The classification was changed from Haplustolls to Calciustolls, 11/89. Diagnostic features and horizons recognized in this pedon are: Mollic epipedon-0 to 16 inches Lithic contact with hard limestone-at 16 inches Calcic horizon-4 to 16 inches ARENTS, LOAMY Arents are gently undulating, loamy soils that have been smoothed and reclaimed after sand and gravel mining operations were suspended. These soils are mainly on terraces along major streams. In most places, after smoothing and leveling, the'areas are 1 foot to 3 feet lower than the surrounding landscape. Areas are irregularly shaped and range from about 5 to several hundred acres. Slopes range from 1 to about 5 percent. Arents are extremely varied within a mapped area. They are stratified in shades of red, brown, and yellow. They mainly consist of loamy material that has varied amounts of sand, silt, clay, and gravel. Sandy clay loam is dominant texture, but fine sand, loamy fine sand, and fine sandy loam are common. They all can be present in a mapped area. Arents are mainly calcareous and moderately alkaline,but may have a few strata that are neutral or mildly alkaline. The root zone is deep. These soils are moderately productive if fertizer is added to offset the loss of organic matter. Because they are lower than the surrounding landscape, some areas of this map unit have ponded water for short periods. These soils are mainly used as pastureland or for urban development. A few areas have been used for sanitary landfills, and a few have not been smoothed and reclaimed. The soils are well suited for pastureland. Reclaimed areas are well suited to improved bermundagrass, weeping lovegrass,kliengrass, switchgrass, vetch, and singletary peas. Reclaimed areas of this map unit are moderately suited to use as cropland. Low natural fertility; wet, depressed areas; and soil blowing are limitations. Leaving crop residue on the surface helps to control erosion and to improve soil tilth. These soils are well suited to urban and recreation uses. Controlling outside runoff and smoothing and shaping are necessary in most places. Areas that have been used for sanitary landfills are not suited to urban development. Areas of this map unit furnish an abundance of woody and herbaceous plants that provide excellent food and cover for deer, quail, and doves. These soils are in cgability subclass Ive and the Sandy loam range site. BRACKETT SERIES The Brackett series consists of very shallow to shallow soils over bedrock. These well drained and moderately permeable soils formed in residuum over chalky limestone bedrock mainly of the Glenrose formation of Cretaceous Age. These soils are on gently sloping to very steep uplands. Slopes range from 1 to 60 percent.

Texture is loam,clay loam, gravelly loam or gravelly clay loam. Secondary forms of calcium carbonate on fragments and within the soil ranges from few to common nodules,concretions, or masses. - In some pedons a Cr/Bk horizon is present that has the Same colors as the Bk horizon in the fine earth fraction. The limestone bedrock in the Cr are mostly white or yellow but mottles or individual fragments may be, brownish or grayish in some pedons. The Cr is extremely weakly to moderately cemented chalk with weathered rinds of soft bedrock that slakes in water. The fine-earth fraction is loam or clay loam. Secondary forms of calcium carbonate on fragments and within the soil ranges from common to many nodules,concretions, or masses of calcium -- carbonate. The Cr layer is extremely weakly to moderately cemented chalky limestone that is more than 6 inches thick with vertical fractures more than 4 inches apart horizontally. Most fractures are - filled with secondary calcium carbonate. COMPETING SERIES: These are no competing series in the same family. Similar soils include Doss and Whitewright. Doss soils have a typic ustic moisture regime and a mollic wA epipedon.Whitewright soils formed over the Austin Chalk. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Brackett soils occur on undulating to hilly uplands. Slopes are mostly 1 to 20 percent but range from 1 to 60 percent. The soil formed in interbedded marl and limestone of the Lower Cretaceous age like the southern portion of the Glen Rose formation and Commanche Peak formations with some acreage on the Walnut and Keys Valley marl. The limestone in these areas weathers to a benched or stair stepped topography consisting of risers and treads. The Brackett soils are mainly on the treads. The mean annual precipitation ranges from about 26 to 32 inches, and mean annual air temperature ranges from 64 to 69 degrees F. Frost free days range from 210 to 270 days and elevation ranges from 600 to 2450 feet. Thorntwaite annual P.E. indices range from 32 to 52. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are Cranfill. Denton, the:Doss,Eckrant, Karnes,Maloterre,Real, Topsey, and Tarrant series.Denton soils occur at lower elevations, and do not have a paralithic contact within 20 inches of the surface. Doss soils are drier in the control section and have a mollic epipedon. Eckrant,Maloterre, and Tarrant soils occur at higher elevations, and are are clayey-skeletal. Real soils occur on similar surfaces and are loamy- _. skeletal. Cranfill, Karnes, and Topsey soils are deep and are very deep and are below or on slightly lower positions. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained. Runoff is very low on 1 to 3 percent slopes, low on 3 to 5 percent slopes,medium on 5 to 20 percent slopes and high on 20 to 60 percent slopes. Permeability is moderate. USE AND VEGETATION: Mainly used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. Original vegetation was rolling prairies dominated by little bluestem,indiangrass, and grama species. Woody vegetation includes juniper, sumac,liveoak, Vasey Oak, and Texas oak. Most of these _ plants can still be observed on these soils. In many places extended periods of overgrazing allows plants such as Texas,grama, red grama, hairy tridens, and juniper to replace plants more desired by livestock.

City of Fort Worth Water Department 1000 Throckmorton Fort Worth, Texas 76101 RE: 16-Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permitting Dear Mr. Bounds: An on-site investigation for potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S. as well as an assessment for the listed threatened and endangered species of Tarrant County and their critical habitat was conducted on August 29, 2005 for the abovementioned project. The area investigated included a proposed 20 feet wide permanent construction easement along the 11,295 linear feet pipeline extension. Other areas investigated included proposed areas of ingression and egression for construction equipment and areas along the TESCO right-of-way. During the on-site investigation, aquatic resources that are regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) were identified within the proposed project area. These resources include Silver Creek and an unnamed tributary to Lake Worth. Since the project will encounter these jurisdictional waters of the U.S., a permit from the USACE will be required. Nationwide Permit (NWP.) 12 for Utility Line Activities will be applicable to authorize utility line activities within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. NWP 12 allows for a half acre of permanent loss of waters of the U.S. However, a permanent loss is not taken into account when a water of the U.S. is temporarily affected by the filling or excavation where the project area is restored to preconstruction contours and elevation. Mechanized land clearing necessary for the construction of utility lines and access roads is authorized, provided the cleared area is kept to the minimum necessary and preconstruction contours are maintained as near as possible. The area of waters of the U.S. that is filled or excavated must be limited to the minimum necessary to construct the utility lune and access roads. Excess material must be removed to upland areas immediately upon completion of 7S24 MOSIERVIEW COURT construction. SUITE 200 FORT WORTKTEXAS761Ia•n22 Since the proposed project will not permanently impact theideLtitied jurisdictional rr10Ne 11I x1106.1700 METRO 817-S09-277.6 waters of the U.S. and the utility line, placed within the identified jurisdictional rAXMETRO 1117.589.0072 waters of the U.S., will not exceed 500 linear feet, no USACE notification is wwwipUO�'/,ton Mr. Paul Bounds Page 2 October 21, 2005 required. For this project, USACE notification will be required if the following criteria are met: 1. Mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland for the utility line right-of- way; ight-of way; or 2. The utility line in waters of the U.S., excluding overhead lines, exceeds 500 feet. A full copy of Nationwide Permit 12 is included in Attachment A. A summary of the temporary impacts to the aquatic resources located within the proposed project area is approximately 276 linear feet of channel, which translates to roughly 0.09- acre. A Bill summary of impacts to the jurisdictional waters of the U.S. is included in a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Report for Waters of the U.S. dated October 21,2005. Three copies of this report are enclosed for your usage. As mentioned, an assessment of potential impacts to federally and state listed threatened or endangered species was performed in conjunction with the preliminary jurisdictional determination. A report, included in Attachment B, concluded that the proposed project might temporarily affect a select few but those impacts will be temporary and only during construction. Therefore, the report concluded that the proposed project will not jeopardize the continued existence of any of the federally and state listed species for Tarrant County. This letter as well as a copy of the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination report dated October 21,2005 will serve as the permit for this project. A copy of this letter as well as a copy of the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination report should be available with the general contractor on-site during the time of construction. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact either Jason Voight or myself at (817) 806-1700.

NATIONWIDE PERMIT 12 Utility Line Activities Effective Date: March 18,2002 Activities required for the construction,maintenance and repair of utility lines and associated facilities in waters of the US as follows: (i)Utility lines:The construction,maintenance,or repair ofutility lines,including outfall and intake structures and the associated excavation,backfill,orbedding for the utility lines,in all waters of the US,provided there is no change in preconstruction contours.A"utility line"is defined as any pipe or pipeline for the transportation of any gaseous, liquid,liquescent,or slurry substance,for any purpose,and any cable,line,or wire for tine transmission for any purpose of electrical energy,telephone,and telegraph messages,and radio and television communication(see Note 1,below).Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily sidecast(up to three months)into waters of the US,provided that the material is not placed in such a manner that it is dispersed by currents or other forces-The District Engineer may extend the period of temporary side casting not to exceed a total of 180 days,where appropriate,in wetlands,the top 6"to 12"of the trench should normally be backfilled with topsoil from the trench. Furthermore,tie trench cannot be constructed in such a manner as to drain waters of the US(e.g.,backfilling with extensive gravel layers,creating a french drain effect).Tor example,utility line trenches can be backfilled with clay blocks to ensure that the trench does not drain tine waters of the US through which the utility line is installed.Any exposed slopes and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody. (ii)Utility line substittions:The construction,maintenance,or expansion of a substation facility associated with a power line or utility line in non-tidal waters of the US,excluding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters,provided the activity does not result in tic loss of greater than 1/2-acre of non-tidal waters of the US. (iii)Foundations for overhead utility line towers,poles,and anchors:The construction or maintenance of foundations for overhead utility line towers,poles,and anchors in all waters of the US,provided the foundations are the minimum size necessary and separate footings for each tower leg(rather than it larger single pad)ure used where fwtsible. (iv)Access roads:The construction of access roads for the construction and maintenance of utility lines,including overhead power lines and utility line substations,in tion-tidal waters of the US,excluding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters,provided the discharges do not cause the loss of greater than 1/2,acre of non-tidal waters of the US. Access roads shall be the minimum width necessary(see Note 2,below).Access roads must be constructed so that the length of the road minimizes(lie adverse effects on waters of the US and as near as possible to preconstruction contours and elevations(e.g.,at grade corduroy roads or geotextile/gravel roads).Access roads constructed above preconstruction contours and elevations in waters of the US must be properly bridged or culvertcd to maintain surface flows. The term"utility line"does not include activities which drain a water of the US,such as drainage tile,or french drains;however,it does apply to pipes conveying drainage from another area.For the purposes of this NWP,the loss of waters of the US includes the filled area plus waters of the US that arc adversely affected by flooding, excavation,or drainage as a result of the project,Activities authorized by pnragraph(i)through(iv)may not exceed a total of 1/2-acre loss of waters of the US.Waters of the US temporarily affected by filling,flooding,excavation,or drainage,where the project area is restored to preconstruction contours and ellevittion,is not included in the calculation of permanent loss of waters of the US.This includes temporary construction mats(e.g.,timber,steel, geotextile)used during construction and removed upon completion of the work.Where certain functions and values of waters of the US are permanently adversely affected,such as the conversion of a forested wetland to a herbaceous wetland in the permanently maintained utility line right-of-way,mitigation will be required to reduce the adverse effects of the project to the minimal level. Mechanized land clearing necessary for the construction,maintenance,or repair of utility lines and the construction,maintenance and expansion of utility line substations,foundations for overhead utility linea,and access roads is authorized,provided the cleared aren is kept to the minimum necessary and preconstntction contours are maintained as ncar as possible.The area of waters of the US that is filled,excavated,or flooded must be limited to „w the minimum necessary to construct the utility line,substations,foundations,and access roads.Excess material must be removed to upland areas immediately upon completion of construction.This NWP may authorize utility lines in or affecting navigable waters of the US even if thea:is no associated discharge of dredged or till material(See 33 CTR part 322). Notification:The permittee trust notify cite District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13,if any of the following criteria are met: (a)Mechanized land clearing in a forested wetland for the utility line right-of-way; (b)A Section 10 permit is required; (c)The utility line in waters of the US,excluding overhead lines,exceeds 500 feet; (d)The utility line is placed within a jurisdictional area(i.e.,water of the US),and it runs parallel to a stream bed that is.within,that jurisdictional area; (e)Discharges associated with the construction of utility line substations that result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of waters of the US; (f)permanent access roads constructed above grade in waters of the US for a distance of more than 500 feet;or (g)Permanent access roads constructed in waters of the US with impervious materials.(Sections 10 and 404) Note 1:Overhead utility lines constructed over Section 10 waters and utility lines that are routed in or under Section 10 waters withotut a discharge of dredged or fill material require a Section 10 permit;except for pipes or pipelines used to transport gaseous,liquid,liquescent,or slurry substances over navigable waters of the US,which are considered to be bridges,not utility lines,and may require a permit from the USCG pursuant to section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.However,any discharges of dredged or fill material associated with such pipelines will require,a Corps permit under Section 404. Note 2:Access roads used for both construction and maintenance may be authorized,provided they meet the terms and conditions of this NWP.Access roads used solely for construction of the utility.line must be removed upon completion of the work and the area restored to preconstruction contours,elevations,and wetland conditions. Temporary access roads for construction may be authorized by NWP 33. " Note 3:Where the proposed utility line is constructed or installed in.navigable waters of the US(i.e.,Section 10 waters),copies of the PCN and NWP verification will be sent by the Corps to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA),National Ocean Service(NOS),for charting the utility line to protect navigation. NATIONWIDE PERMIT GENERAL CONDITIONS The following General Conditions must be followed in order for any authorization by an NWP to be valid: 1,Navigation.No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation. 2.Proper Maintenance.Any structure or fill authorized shall be properly maintained,including maintenance to ensure public safety. 3.Soil Erosion and Sediutent Controls.Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used and maintained in effective operating condition during construction,and all exposed soil.and other tills,as well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line,trust be permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to perform-work within waters of the United States during periods of low-flow or no-flow. 4.Aquatic Life Movements.No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life-cycle movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody,including those species that normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water.Culverts placed in streams must be installed to maintain low flow conditions. 5.Equipment.Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on mats,or other measures must be taken.to ■' minimize soil disturbance. 6.Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions.The activity must comply with any regional conditions that may have been added by tate Division Engineer(see 33 CFR 330.4(c))and with any case specific conditions added by the Corps 2 ., or by the state or tribe in its Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination. Note: Statewide Regional Conditions have been added for activities within Texas. 7.Wild and Scenic Rivers.No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System;or in a river officially designated by Congress as a"study river"for possible inclusion in the system,while the river is in an official study status;unless the appropriate Federal agency,with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation, or study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land management agency in the arca(e.g.,National Park Service,U.S.Forest Service,bureau of Land Management,U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 8.Tribal Rights.No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights,including,but not limited to,reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights. 9.Water Quality.(a)In certain states and tribal lands an individual 401 Water Quality Certification must be obtained or waived(See 33 CFR 330.4(c)). (b)For N WPs 12,14, 17, 18,32,39,40,42,43,and 44,where the state or tribal 401 certification(either generically or individually)docs not require or approve water quality management.measures,the permittee must provide water quality management measures that will ensure that the authorized work does not result in more than minimal degradation of water quality(or the Corps determines that compliance with state or local standards,where applicable, will ensure no more than mininnal adverse effect on water quality).An important component of water quality management includes stornnwater management that minimizes degradation of the downstream aquatic system, including water quality(refer to General Condition 21 for stormwater management requirements).Another important component of water quality management is the establishment and maintenance of vegetated buffers next to open waters,including streams(refer to General Condition 19 for vegetated buffer requirements for the NWPs). This condition is only applicable to projects that have the potential to affect water quality.While appropriate measures must be taken,in most cases it is not necessary to conduct detailed studies to identify such measures or to require monitoring. �» 10.Coastal Zone Management. In certain states,an individual state coastal zone management consistency concurrence must be obtained or waived(see 33 CFR 330.4(d)). 11.Endangered Species.(a)No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation,as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act(ESA),or which will destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-federal permittees shall notify the District Engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project,or is located in the designated critical habitat and shall not begin work on the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized.For activities that may affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat,the notification must include the names)of the endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or that utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work.As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS the District Engineer may add species- specific regional endangered species conditions to the N WPs. (b)Authorization of an activity by a NWP does not authorize the "take"of a threatened.or endangered species as defined under the ESA.In the absence of separate authorization(e.g.,an ESA Section 10 Permit,a Biological Opinion with"incidental take"provisions,etc.)from the USFWS or the NMFS,both lethal and non-lethal "takes"of protected species are in violation of the ESA.Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the USFWS and N1vIFS or their world wide web pages[it http://www.fws.gov/r9eiidspp/endspp.html and http://www.nmfs.nona.gov/prot_res/overview/es.htm]respectively. 12.Historic Properties.No activity which may affect historic properties listed,or eligible for listing,in the National Register of Historic Places is authorized,until tilt District Engineer has complied with the provisions of 33 CFR part 3 325,Appendix C.1'he prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer if the authorized activity may affect any historic properties listed,detertnitied to be eligible,or which the prospective permittee has reason to believe may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places,And shall not begin the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized.Information on the location and existence ofhistoric resources can be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Register of Historic Places(see 33 GFR 330.4(g)).For activities that may affect historic properties listed in,or eligible for listing in,the National Register of Historic Places,the notification must state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. 13.Notification. (a)Timing;where required by the terms of the NWP,the prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer with a preconstruction notification(PCN)as early as possible.The District Engineer must determine if the notification is complete within 30 days of the date of receipt and can request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once.However,if the prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information,then the District Engineer will notify the prospective permittee that the notification is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not commence until all of the requester]information hits been received by the District Engineer.The prospective permittee shall not begin the activity: (1)Until notified in writing by the District Engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP with any special . conditions imposed by the District or Division Engineer;or (2)If notified in writing by the District or Division Engineer that an Individual Permit is required;or (3)Unless 45 days have passed from the District Engineer's receipt of the complete notification and the prospective permittee has not received written notice from the District or Division Engineer.Subsequently,the permittee's right to proceed under the NWP may be modified,suspended,or revoked only in accordance with the procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).

Minor deviations are authorized,provided the approved flood control protection or drainage is not increased; (ii)A delineation of any affected special aquatic sites,including wetlands;and, (iii)Location of the dredged material disposal site; (1'1)For NWP 33(Temporary Construction,Access,and Dewatering),the PCN must also include a restoration plan of reasonable measures to avoid and minimize adverse effects to aquatic resources; (12)For NWPs 39,43 and 44,the PCN must also include a written statement to the District Engineer explaining how avoidance and minimization for losses of waters of the US were achieved on the project site; (13)For NWP 39 and NWP 42,the PCN must include a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the US or justification explaining why compensatory mitigation should not be required.For discharges that cause the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of an intermittent stream bed,to be authorized,the District Engineer must determine that the activity complies with the other terms and conditions of the NWP,determine adverse environmental effects are minimal both individually and cumulatively,and waive the limitation on stream impacts in writing before the permittee may proceed; (14)For NWP 40(Agricultural Activities),the PCN must include a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the US.11is NWP does not authorize the relocation of greater than 300 linear-feet of existing serviceable drainage ditches constructed in non-tidal streams unless,for drainage ditches constructed in intermittent non-tidal streams,the District Engineer waives this criterion in writing,and the District Engineer has determined that the project complies with all terms and conditions of this NWP,and that any adverse impacts of the project on the aquatic environment are minimal,both individually and cumulatively; (15)For NWP 43(Stormwater Management Facilities),the PCN mast include,for the construction of new stormwatcr management facilities,a maintenance plan(in accordance with state and local requirements,if applicable) and a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the US.For discharges that cause the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of an intermittent stream bed,to be authorized,the District Engineer must determine that the activity complies with the other terms and conditions of the NWP,determine adverse environmental effects are minimal both individually and cumulatively,and waive the limitation on stream impacts in writing before the permittee may proceed; (16)For NWP 44(Mining Activities),the PCN must include a description of all waters of the US adversely affected by the project,a description of measures taken to minimize adverse effects to waters of the US,a description of measures taken to comply with the criteria of the NWP,and a reclamation plan(for all aggregate mining activities in isolated waters and non-tidal wetlands adjacent to headwaters and any hard rockhnineral ruining activities); ,�. (17)For activities that may adversely affect Federally-listed endangered or Threatened species,the PCN must include the name(s)of those endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work;and (18)For activities that nnry affect historic properties listed in,or eligible for listing in,the National Register of Historic Places,the PCN must state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. (c)Form of Notifrcntion:The standard Individual Permit application form(Form ENG 4345)may be used as the notification but trust clearly indicate that it is a PCN and trust include all of the information required in(b)([)-(18)of General Condition 13.A letter containing the requisite information may also be used. 5 (d)District Engineer's Decision:In reviewing the PCN for the proposed Activity,the District Engineer will determine , whether the activity authorized by the NWP will result in more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the public interest.The prospective permittee may submit a proposed mitigation plan with the PCN to expedite the process.Tile District Engineer will consider any proposed compensatory mitigation the applicant has included in the proposal in determining whether the net adverse environmental effects to the aquatic environment of the proposed work are minimal.if the District Engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms and conditions of the NWP and that the adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal,after considering mitigation,the District Engineer will notify the permittee and include any conditions the District Engineer deems necessary.The District Engineer must approve any compensatory mitigation proposal before the permittee commences work.If the prospective permittee is required to submit a compensatory mitigation proposal with the PCN,the proposal may be either conceptual or detailed.If the prospective permittee elects to submit a compensatory mitigation plan with the PCN,the.District Engineer will expeditiously,review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan.'rhe District Engineer must review the plan within 45 days of receiving a complete PCN and determine whether the conceptual or specific proposed mitigation would ensure no more than minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment.If the net adverse effects of the project on the aquatic environment(after consideration of the compensatory mitigation proposal)are determined by the District Engineer to be minimal,the District Engineer will provide a timely written response to tite applicant.The response will state that the project can proceed under the terms and conditions of the NWP. If the District Engineer determines that tare adverse effects of the proposed work are more than minimal,then the District Engineer will notify the applicant either:(1)That the project does not qualify for authorization under the NWP and instruct the applicant on the procedures to seek authorization under an Individual Permit;(2)that the project is authorized under the NWP subject to the applicant's submission of it mitigation proposal that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level;or(3)that the project is authorized under the NWP with specific modifications orconditions.Where the District Engineer determines that mitigation is required to ensure no more than minimal adverse effects occur to the aquatic environment,the activity will be authorized within the 45-day PCN period.The authorization will include the necessary conceptual or specific mitigation or a requirement that the applicant submit a mitigation proposal that would reduce tate adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level.When conceptual mitigation is included,or a mitigation plan is required under item (2)above,no work in waters of the US will occur until the District Engineer has approved ti specific mitigation plan. (e)Agency Coordination:The District Engineer will consider any comments from Federal and state agencies -- concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and conditions of the N WPs and the need for mitigation to reduce the project's adverse environmental effects to a minimal level. For activities requiring notification to the District Engineer that result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the US,the District Engineer will provide immediately(e.g.,via facsimile transmission,overnight mail,or other expeditious manner)a copy to the appropriate Federal or state offices(USFWS,state natural resource or water quality agency,EPA,State Historic Preservation Officer(SHPO),and,if appropriate,the NMFS).With the exception of NWP 37,these agencies will then have 10 calendar days from the date the material is transmitted to telephone or fax the District Engineer notice that they intend to provide substantive,site-specific comments. if so contacted by an agency,the District Engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision oil the notification. The District Engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the specified time frame,but will provide no response to the resource agency,except as provided below.'rhe District Engineer will indicate inthe administrative record associated with each notification that the resource agencies'concerns were.considered.As required.by section 305(b)(4)(13)of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery,Conservation and Management Act,the District Engineer will provide a response to NMFS within 30 clays of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation recommendations.Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps multiple copies of notifications to expedite agency notification. (f)Wetland Delineations:Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps(For NWP 29 see paragraph(b)(9)(iii)for parcels less than(1/4-acre in size).The pennittee play ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic site.There may be some delay if the Corps does the delineation.Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the wetland delineation has been completed and submitted to the Corps,where appropriate. 6 14.Compliance Certification.Every permittee who has received NWP verification from the Corps will submit a signed certification regarding the completed work and any required mitigation.The certification will be forwarded by the Corps with the authorization letter and will include: (a)A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the Corps authorization,including any general or specific conditions; (b)A statement that any required mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions;.and (c)The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation. 15.Use of Multiple Nationwide'Permits.The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project is prohibited,except when the acreage loss of waters of the US authorized by the N WPs does not exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the highest specified acreage limit(e.g.if a road crossing over tidal waters is constricted under NWP 14,with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13,the maximum acreage loss of waters of the US for the total project cannot exceed 1/3-acre). 16.Water Supply Intakes.No activity,including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material,may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake except where the activity is for repair of the public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank stabilization. w 17.Shellfish Beds.No activity,including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or.discharges of dredged or fill material,may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations,unless the activity is directly related to it shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWP 4. 18.Suitable Material.No activity,including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material,may consist of unsuitable material(e.g.,trash,debris,car bodies,asphalt,etc.)and material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts(see section 307 of the CWA). 19.Mitigation.The District Engineer will consider the factors discussed below when determining the acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation necessary to offset adverse effects on the aquatic environment that are more than minimal. (a)The project must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects to waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable at the project site(i.e.,on site). (b)Mitigation in all its forms(avoiding,minimizing,rectifying,reducing or compensating)will be-required to the extent necessary to ensure that the adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. ^ (c)Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all wetland impacts requiring a PCN, unless the District Engineer determines in writing that some other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate and provides a project-specific waiver of this requirement.Consistent with National policy,the District Engineer will establish a preference for restoration of wetlands as compensatory mitigation,with preservation used only in exceptional circumstances. (d)Compensatory mitigation(i.e.,replacement or substitution of aquatic resources for those impacted)will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits of some of the NW Ps.For example, I/4-acre of wetlands cannot be created to change a 3/4-acre loss of wetlands to a 1/2-acre loss associated with NWP 39 verification.However, 1/2-acre of created wetlands can be used to reduce the impacts of a 1/2-acre loss of wetlands to the minimum impact level in order to meet the minimal impact requirement associated with NWPs. (e)To be practicable,the mitigation must be available and capable ofbeing done considering costs,existing technology,and logistics in light of the overall project purposes.Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,but are not limited to:reducing the size of the project;establishing and maintaining wetland or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such its streams;and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating,restoring,enhancing,or preserving similar functions grid values,preferably in the same watershed. (f)Compensatory mitigation plans for projects in or near streams or other open waters will nonnally include a requirement for the establishment,maintenance,and legal protection(e.g.,casements,deed restrictions)of vegetated buffers to open waters.In many cases,vegetated buffers will be the only compensatory mitigation required. 7 Vegetated buffers should consist of native species.The width of the vegetated buffers required will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns.Normally,the vegetated buffer will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream,but the District Engineers may require slightly wider vegetated buffers to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns.Where both wetlands and open waters exist on the project site, the Corps will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation(e.g.,stream buffers or wetlands compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment on a watershed basis.In cases where vegetated buffers are determined to be the most appropriate form of compensatory mitigation,the District Engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts. (g)Compensatory mitigation proposals submitted with the"notification"may be either conceptual.or detailed.if conceptual plans are approved tinder the verification,then the Corps will condition the verification to require detailed plans be submitted and approved by the Corps prior to construction of the authorized activity in waters of the US. (h)Pennittees may propose the use of mitigation batiks,in-lieu fee arrangements or separate activity-specific compensatory mitigation.In all cases that requite compensatory mitigation,the mitigation provisions will specify the party responsible for accomplishing and/or complying with the mitigation plan. 20.Spawning Areas.Activities,including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material,in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.Activities that result in the physical destruction(e.g.,excavate,fill,or smother downstream by substantial turbidity)of an important spawning area are not authorized. _ 21.Management of Water Flows.To the maximum extent practicable,the activity must be designed to maintain preconstruction downstream flow conditions(e.g.,location,capacity,and flow rates).Furthermore,the activity must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows(unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound waters)and the structure or discharge of dredged or fill material must withstand expected high flows.The activity must,to the maximum extent practicable,provide for retaining excess flows from the site,provide for maintaining surface flow rates from the site similar to preconstruction conditions,and provide for not increasing water flows from the project site,relocating water,or redirecting water flow beyond preconstruction conditions. Stream chamrelizing will be reduced to the minimal amount necessary,and the activity must,to the maximum extent practicable,reduce adverse effects such as flooding or erosion downstream and upstream of the project site,unless the activity is part of a larger system designed to manage water flows.In most cases,it will not be a requirement to — conduct detailed studies and monitoring of water flow. This condition is only applicable to projects that have the potential to affect'waterflows.While appropriate measures mast be taken,it is not necessary to conduct detailed studies to identify such measures or require monitoring to ensure their effectiveness.Normally,the Corps will defer to state and local authorities regarding management of water flow. 22.Adverse Effects From Impoundments,if the activity creates an impoundment of water,adverse effects to the aquatic system due to the acceleration of the passage of water,and/or the restricting its flow shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.This includes structures and work in navigable waters of the US,or discharges of dredged or fill material. 23.Waterfowl Bi-eeding Areas.Activities,including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material,into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. 24.Removal of Temporary Fills.Any temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to their preexisting elevation. 25.Designated Critical Resource Waters.Critical resource waters include,NUAA-designated marine sanctuaries, National Estuarine/research Reserves,National Wild and Scenic Rivers,critical habitat for Federally listed threatened and endangered species,coral reefs,state natural heritage sites,and outstanding national resource waters or other waters officially designated by a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance and identified by 8 the District Engineer after notice and opportunity for public comment.Tile District Engineer may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and opportunity for comment. (a)Except as noted below,discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the US are not authorized by NWPs 7,12,14, 16,17,2l,29,31,35,39,40,42,43,and 44 for any activity within,or directly affecting,critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters.Discharges of dredged or fill materials into waters of the US may be authorized by the above NWPs in National Wild and Scenic Rivers if the activity complies with General Condition 7. Further,such discharges may be authorized in designated critical habitat for Federally listed threatened or endangered species if the activity complies with General Condition I I and the USFWS or the NMFS has concurred in a determination of compliance with this condition. (b)For NWPs 3,8,10, 13, 15, 18,19,22,23,25,27,28,30,33,34,36,37,and 38,notification is required in accordance with General Condition 13,for any activity proposed in the designated critical resource waters including wetlands- adjacent etlandsadjacent to those waters.The District Engineer may authorize activities under these NWPs only after it is determined that the impacts to the critical resource waters will be no more than minimal. 26.Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains.For purposes of this General Condition, 100-year floodplains will be identified through the existing Federal Emergency Management Agency's(FEMA)Flood Insurance Rate Maps or FEMA- approved local floodplain maps. (a)Discharges in Floodplain;Below Headwaters. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the US within the mapped 100-year floodplain,below headwaters(i.e.five cfs),resulting in permanent above-grade fills,are not authorized by NWPs 39,40,42,43,and 44. (b)Discharges in Floodway;Above Headwaters.Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the US within the FEMA or locally mapped floodway,resulting in permanent above-grade fills,are not authorized by NWPs 39,40, 42,and 44. (c)The permittee must comply with any applicable FEMA-approved state or local floodplain management requirements. 27.Construction Period. For activities that have not been verified by the Corps and theprojcct was commenced or under contract to commence by the expiration date of the N W P(or modification or revocation date),the work must be completed within 12-months after such date(including any modification that affects the project). For activities that have been verified and the project was commenced or under contract to commence within the verification period,the work must be completed by the date determined by the Corps. For projects that have been verified by the Corps,an extension of a Corps approved completion date maybe requested.This request mast be submitted at least one month before the previously approved completion date. FURTHER INFORMATION 1.District Engineers have authority to determine if an activity complies with the terms and conditions of an N WP. 2.NWPs do not obviate the need to obtain other Federal,state,or local permits,approvals,or authorizations required by law. 3.NWPs do not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges. 4.NWPs do not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others. 5.NWPs do not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal project. DEFINITIONS Best Management Practices(BMPs).-BMPs are policies,practices,procedures,or structures implemented to mitigate the adverse environmental effects on surface water quality resulting from development.BMPs are categorized as structural or non-structural.A 13MP policy may affect tiie limits on a development. Compensatory Mitigation:For purposes of Section 10/404,compensatory mitigation is the restoration,creation, cnhanccnrent,or in exceptional circumstances,preservation of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources for the purpose of compensating for unavoidable adverse impacts which rernain after all appropriate and practicable ` avoidance and minimization has been achieved. 9 Creation:The establishment of a wetland or other aquatic resource where one did not formerly exist. Enhancement:Activities conducted in existing wetlands or other aquatic resources that increase one or more aquatic functions, Ephemeral Stream:An ephemeral stream has flowing water only during and for a short duration after,precipitation events in a typical year.Ephemeral stream beds are located above the water table year round.Groundwater is not a source of water for the stream.Runoff from rainfall is the primary source of water for stream flow. Farm Tract:A unit of contiguous land under one ownership that is operated as a farm or part of a farm. Flood Fringe:That portion of the 100-year floodplain outside of the floodway(often referred to as "floodway fringe'). Floodway:The area regulated by Federal,state,or local requirements to provide for the discharge of the base flood so the cumulative increase in water surface elevation is no more than a designated amount(not to exceed one foot as set by the National Flood Insurance Program)within the 100-year floodplain. - Independent Utility:A test to determine what constitutes a single and complete project in the Corps regulatory prognun.A project is considered to have independent utility if it would be constructed absent the construction of other projects in the project area.Portions of multi-phase project that depend upon other phases of the project do not have independent utility.Phases of a project that would be constructed even if the other phases were not built can be considered as separate single and complete projects with independent utility. Intermittent Stream:An intermittent stream has flowing water during certain times of the year,when groundwater provides water for stream flow.During dry periods,intermittent streams may not have flowing water.Itunoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow. Loss of Waters of the US:Waters of the US that include the filled area and other waters that are permanently adversely affected by flooding,excavation,or drainage because of the regulated activity.Permanent adverse effects include permanent above-grade,at-grade,or below gracle fills that change an aquatic area to dry land,increase the bottom elevation of a waterbocly,or change the use of a waterbocly.The acreage of loss of waters of the US is the threshold measurement of the impact to existing waters for determining whether a project may qualify for an NWP;it is not a net threshold that is calculated after considering compensatory mitigation that may be used to offset losses of aquatic functions and values.The loss of stream bed includes the linear feet of stream bed that is filled or excavated.Impacts to ephemeral streams are not included in the linear foot measurement of loss of stream bed for the purpose of determining compliance with the linear foot limits of N W Ps 39,40,42,and 43.Waters of the US temporarily filled,flooded,excavated,or drained,but restored to preconstruction contours and elevations after -, construction,are not included in the measurement of loss of waters of the.US. Nott-tidal Wetland:A non-tidal wetland is a wetland(i.e.,a water of the US)that is not subject to the ebb and flow of tidal waters.The definition of a'wetland can be found at 33 CFR 328.3(b),Non-tidal wetlands contiguous to tidal waters are located landward of the high tide line(i.e.,spring high tide line). Open Water:An arra that,during a year with normal patterns of precipitation,has standing or flowing water for sufficient dimation to establish an ordinary high water mark.Aquatic vegetation within the area of standing or flowing water is either non-emergent,sparse,or absent. Vegetated shallows are considered to be open waters.The tern'open water"includes rivets,streams,lakes,and ponds.For the purposes of the N WPs,this tenn does not include ephemeral waters. Perennial Stream:A perennial stream has flowing water year-round during a typical.year.The water table is located above the stream bed for most of the year.Groundwater is the primary source of water for stream flow.Runoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow. Permanent Above-grade Fill:A discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the US,including wetlands,that results in a substantial increase in ground elevation and permanently convects part or all of the waterbocly to dry _ land,Structural fills authorized by NWPs 3,25,36,etc.are not included. .Preservation:The protection of ecologically important wetlands or other aquatic resources in perpetuity through the implementation of appropriate legal and physical mechanisms,Preservation may include protection of upland areas adjacent to wetlands as necessary to ensure protection and/or enhancement of the overall aquatic ecosystem. Restoration:Re-establishment of wetland andlor other aquatic resource characteristics and function(s)ata site where they have ceased to exist,or exist in a substantially degraded state.. Riffle and Pool Complex:Riffle and pool complexes are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1)Guidelines.Riffle and pool complexes sometimes characterize steep gradient sections of streams.Such stream sections are recognizable 10 by their hydraulic characteristics.The rapid movement of water over a course substrate in riffles results in a rough flow,a turbulent surface,and high dissolved oxygen levels in the water.Pools are deeper areas associated with riffles.A slower stream velocity,a streaming flow,a smooth surface,and a finer substrate characterize pools. Single and Complete Project The terns"single and complete project"is defined at 33 CFR 330.2(1)as the total project proposed or accomplished by one owner/developer or partnership or other association of owners/developers (see definition of independent utility).For linear projects,the"single and complete project"(i.e.,a single and complete crossing)will apply to each crossing ora separate water of the US(i.e.,a single waterbody)at that location. An exception is for linear projects crossing a single waterbody several times at separate and distant locations:each crossing is considered a single and complete project.However,individual channels in a braided stream or river,or individual arms of a large,irregularly shaped wetland or lake,etc.,are not separate waterbodies. Stormwater Management:Stormwater management is the mechanism for controlling stonmvatcr runoff for the purposes of reducing downstream erosion,water quality degradation,and flooding and mitigating the adverse effects of changes in land use on the aquatic environment. Stormwater Management Facilities:Stormwater management facilities are those facilities,including but not limited to,stormwater retention and detention ponds and 13MPs,which retain water for a period of time to control runoff and/or improve the quality(i.e.,by reducing the concentration of nutrients,sediments,hazardous substances and other pollutants)of Stormwater runoff. Stream Bed:The substrate of the stream channel between the ordinary high water marks.The substrate may be bedrock or inorganic particles that range in size from clay to boulders.Wetlands contiguous to the stream bed,but outside of the ordinary high water marks,are not considered part of the stream bed. Stream Channelizatiow The manipulation of a stream channel to increase the rate of water flow through the stream channel.Manipulation may include deepening,widening,straightening,annoring,or other activities that change the stream cross-section or other aspects of stream channel geometry to increase the rate of water flow through the stream channel.A channelized stream remainsa,water of the US,despite the modifications to increase the rate of water flow. Tidal Wetland:A tidal wetland is a wetland(i.e.,water of the US)that is inundated by tidal waters.The definitions of a wetland and tidal waters can be found at 33 Ci-R 328.3(b)and 33 CFR 328.3(f),respectively.Tidal waters rise and fall in a predictable and measurable rhythm or cycle due to the gravitational pulls of the rnoon and sun.Tidal waters enol where the rise and fall of the waxer surface can no longer be practically measured in a predictable rhythm due to masking by other waters,wind,or other effects.Tidal wetlands are located channelward of the high tide line(i.e., spring high tide line)and lure inundated by tidal waters two times per lunar month,during spring high tides, Vegetated Buffer:A vegetated upland or wetland area next to rivers,streams,lakes,or other open waters which separates the open water from developed areas,including agricultural land.Vegetated buffers provide a variety of aquatic habitat functions and values(e.g.,aquatic habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms,moderation of water temperature changes,and detritus for aquatic food webs)and help improve or maintain local water quality.A vegetated buffer can be established by maintaining an existing vegetated area or planting native trees,shrubs,and �^ herbaceous plants on land next to open-waters.Mowed lawns are not considered vegetated buffers because they provide little or no aquatic habitat functions and values.The establishment and maintenance of vegetated buffers is a method of compensatory mitigation that can be used in conjunction with the restoration,creation,enhancement,or preservation of aquatic habitats to ensure that activities authorized by NWPs result in minimal adverse effects to the aquatic environment.(See General Condition 19.) Vegetated Shallows:Vegetated shallows are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1)Guidelines.They are areas that are penuanently inundated and under normal circumstances have rooted aquatic vegetation,such as seagrasses in marine and estuarine systems and a variety of vascular rooted plants in freshwater systems. Waterbody:A waterbody is any area that in a normal year has water flowing or standing above ground to the- extent heextent that evidence of an ordinary high water mark is established. Wetlands contiguous to the waterbody are considered part of the waterbody.

Summary Version: March 18,2002 ` 12 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO FEDERALLY AND STATE LISTED THREATENED OR EDANGERED SPECIES RESULTING FROM THE PROPOSED 16-INCH WATER LINE EXTENSION TO TURTLE CREEK DEVELOPMENT FORT WORTH,TARRANT COUNTY,TEXAS I. INTRODUCTION This evaluation provides an assessment of the potential impacts to federally and state listed species and their habitat resulting from the proposed 16-Inch Potable Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development located in both the cities of Fort Worth and Lakeside,Tarrant County, Texas. A survey for the preferred and designated critical habitat as listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for federally and state listed species in Tarrant County was conducted on August 29,2005 within the project area by Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. This evaluation was prepared using data from the on-site investigation as well as published and unpublished sources and based on the guidelines outline in the"Components of a Biological Assessment or Evaluation"published by the USFWS, Arlington, Texas Ecological Field Office. The purpose of this evaluation is to document any potential impacts to federally and state listed species and their habitat within the approximately 11,295 linear feet project area. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AREA The project area for the proposed 11,295 linear feet potable water line extension will consist of a 20 feet wide construction easement that will also act as the water lines eventual permanent easement totaling approximately five acres. The proposed route commences north of the intersection of Silver Creek Road and Goodnight Circle in the City of Fort Worth and parallels the east side of Silver Creek Road for approximately 4,000 feet (to the north) crossing a channelized segment of Silver Creek as well as the native remnant Silver Creek channel until its intersection with Watercress Drive and Silver Creek Road. From here, the proposed pipeline route will cross beneath Watercress Drive and then parallel the east side of the existing TESCO power line right-of-way (ROW) for approximately 3,400 feet. Beyond the TESCO ROW, the proposed pipeline route continues to the north crossing an. unnamed tributary to Lake Worth prior to entering a developing residential area. Just north of the crossing of the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth, the pipeline route turns to the west for approximately 900 feet and again Assessment of Potential Impacts to Listed Species 16-,inch Water Lure Extension to Turtle Creek Development encounters the abovementioned unnamed tributary to Lake Worth. At this location, the route parallels the creek for approximately 235 feet prior to angling to the north along a drainage swale. The route eventually crosses Confederate Park Road and terminates just north of the aforementioned road crossing at the Turtle Creek Development. For descriptive purposes,the proposed pipeline route is divided into the following categories: 1). Silver Creek Road to Watercress Drive, 2). TESCO power line ROW, and 3). TESCO power line ROW to Confederate Park Road. 1. SILVER CREEK ROAD TO WATERCRESS DRIVE v.. Along this segment of the route, the proposed pipeline will cross a channelized portion of Silver Creek as well as the remnant native Silver Creek channel. Silver Creek was channelized at some „w time in the past most likely as a flood control project with the channelized portion being approximately 18 feet in width at the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). No water was observed within the channel during the on-site investigation. Immediately north of the channelized portion of Silver Creek, the proposed route will encounter the remnant native Silver Creek channel. During the on-site investigation, the remnant channel displayed no stream characteristics, which is most likely due to a lack hydrology over time" thereby allowing for vegetation to establish within the channel. Furthermore,the majority of this portion of the route is within a treed area consisting of oaks (Quercus shunaardii, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus stellata), pecan (Carya illinoensis), ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), hackberry (Celtic laevigata), elms (Ulmus crassifolia, Ulmus americana), aiid cottonwood (Populus deltoides). This section of the proposed route is near the City's Wildwood Park. 2. TESCO POWER LINE ROW As the route continues to the north crossing beneath Watercress Drive, it will then parallel east side of the existing TESCO power line ROW for approximately 3,400 feet. The area along the TESCO ROW appears to be routinely maintained by the dominance of herbaceous vegetation; however, some small trees and shrubs are encroaching along the fringe of the ROW. These trees consist mostly of hackberry (Cellis loevigata),post oalc (Quercus stellata), and eastern red cedar Alan Plummer Associates, Inc Page 2 N%pro}cctsli Allaehlncal—ICV RMV ISM.doe Assessment of Potential Impacts to Listed Species 16-Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development (Juniperus virginiana.). No streams or other aquatic resources were observed along this segment of the proposed pipeline route. "— 3. TE SCO POWER LINE ROW TO CONFEDERATE PARK ROAD Leaving the TESCO power line ROW, the route continues to the north crossing an unnamed tributary to Lake Worth east of an establish residential area. Immediately upstream from the creek crossing, a homeowner has impounded the channel creating a pond amenity. This pond will not be impacted by the proposed project. Also in this vicinity, a tributary to the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth was observed. The confluence of this channel is located immediately downstream of the proposed project area and thereby will not be impacted by the proposed project. The proposed pipeline route then angles- to the west through uplands eventually angling to the northwest. Along this northwestern turn, the proposed project area will parallel the aforementioned tributary for approximately 235 feet prior to angling to the north along a drainage swale. This drainage swale routes storm flows from Confederate Park Road to the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth. During the on-site investigation, a defined OHWM was not observed within the drainage swale. furthermore, the residential development was improving this swale to incorporate it into their storm water drainage system. This section of the proposed pipeline route contains a mixture of wooded areas, open natural herbaceous areas, and routinely maintained areas. Finally, the proposed pipeline route continues to the north crossing beneath Confederate Park Road and terminates at the Turtle Creek Development. The approximate boundaries of the project area are shown on the Iocation map from the USGS topographic map (Lake Worth and Springtown SE, Texas quadrangles) included as Figure AA in Appendix A. Existing conditions relative to the pipeline alignment are shown on a 2004 aerial photograph included as Figure A-2 in Appendix A. Photographs from the on-site investigation are included in Appendix B with the locations of the photographs shown on Figure B-1.

FEDERAL AND STATE LISTED SPECIES WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA Three threatened or endangered species are listed by the USFWS as occurring or potentially occurring within Tarrant County. In addition to these three species,the TPWD lists an additional three threatened species and seven rare species as occurring or potentially occurring within Tarrant County. Table 1 provides a summary of the federally and state listed species, their preferred habitat,and their current status within Tarrant County.

Potential for the Presence of Listed Species within the Project Area Habitat was visually assessed'for the listed species as well as its suitability for the same species during a walk-through of the project area conducted on August 29, 2005 by Alan Plummer Associates, Inc. The USFWS does not list any designated critical habitat for any of the federally listed threatened or endangered species within the project area. Additionally, none of the federally or state listed species was observed during the on-site investigation. The arctic peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus tundrivs) typically nests in high, massive cliffs with expansive views near water where prey is abundant. The falcons prefer to hunt in habitats such as river bottoms, marshes, and lakes. During migration, the falcon frequents areas associated with large rivers or wildlife refuges with an abundant waterfowl population. Suitable nesting habitat does not exist within or adjacent to the project area. However, numerous waterfowl frequent the coves along Lake Worth throughout the year. Furthermore, falcons have been previously observed within a fish hatchery associated with Eagle Mountain Lake north of Alan Phimmer Associates, Inc Page 5 F:4irojccW.119%3205\Do0,'r&E Auachmenl— V RMSED.duc Assessment of Potential Impacts to Listed Species 16 Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development the project area. Based on the above information, areas surrounding Lake Worth could provide suitable hunting grounds for the migrating arctic peregrine falcon. The bald eagle (Haliaeelus leucocephalus) typically nests within trees that are taller than the existing canopy along or within two miles of large water bodies where the forest, marsh, and water meet. Furthermore, open water and wetland areas are important for feeding. The eagles can tolerate some human activity; however,they do not seem to be able to tolerate activity within a minimum of 750 to 1,000 from nest or perching sites. While a portion of the project area lies adjacent to Lake Worth, the riparian areas associated with both Silver Creek and the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth within and adjacent to the project area are quite uniform in nature. Furthermore, Lake Worth is mostly developed with residences lining the banks of the lake as well as a network of roads providing access to the majority of the lake. From previous r_ discussions with the USFWS as well as Wayne Clark (former Director of the Fort Worth Nature Center) on a different project in November 2004, they indicated that a pair of bald eagles tiequents Goat Island as well as Wildwood Park located near the confluence of Silver Creek and Lake Worth. Mr. Greg Keiran with the Audobon Society was contacted on October 14, 2005 mm and he confirmed that the eagles are still frequenting Goat Island. Both Wildwood Park and Goat Island are located near the proposed project area to the east. However, Mr. Keiran indicated that the proposed project in its current location adjacent to the TESCO power line ROW as well as along Silver Creels Road, if constructed during the winter months, should not impact the bald eagle. However, it is possible that one may be observed near the project area since the confirmed sightings are located near the project area. The Henslow's sparrow (Ammodramus henslowh) prefers weedy fields where bunch grasses occur. Tall, dense vegetation dominated by grasses with very little woody vegetation (less than five percent) in damp or moist habitats are preferred; however, they can occur in upland areas. The sparrow is also rarely seen in habitats less than 250 acres in size. Fields with warm. season grasses such as big and little bluestem, Indiangrass, and switchgrass are preferred. The area along the TESCO ROW did contain native bunch grasses however the ROW is limited in acreage. Furthermore, bunch grasses were not dominant cover type and the dense vegetation Alan Plummer Associates, Inc Page 6 i':ymjcctsi31N13?Ullbc�rPdi AItitchment-XV UVISEA)Aoc Assessment of Potential impacts to Listed Species 16-.Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek.Development preferred by the sparrow was not present. The remainder of the project area is mostly wooded. „- Therefore,the Henslow's sparrow is not expected to occur within or adjacent to the project area. The interior least tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) traditionally nests along sand and gravel bars within wide, shallow rivers. Iistorically,the tern nested along the West Fork as well as the Clear Fork of the Trinity River within Tarrant County. With the decreasing availability of traditionally preferred habitat in the Tarrant County area, the tern has begun utilizing non- traditional habitats such as sand and gravel pits, dredge islands, dirt roads, and gravel rooftops typically within approximately two miles of the Trinity River. Typical nesting sites are usually absent of vegetation; however, terns are known to utilize sites that have up to 34 percent vegetative cover. Traditional habitat such as sand or gravel bars is not present within the project area. Therefore, the interior least tern is not expected to occur within or adjacent to the project area. The migrant loggerhead shrike (Lantos ludovicianus migrans) prefers open and semi-open areas with scattered trees. It also shows preference to fence posts or utility line poles along roadways as these provide suitable perching sites for the shrike. As previously stated, the portion of the project area along the TESCO ROW is dominated by herbaceous vegetation with some woody vegetation along its extremities. Furthermore, some fence posts line the borders of some the properties within the project area. Therefore, the migrant loggerhead shrike may occur within or adjacent to the project area. The western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularla hypugaea) prefers open grasslands, especially prairies, plains, or savannas. A primary component of the owl's preferred habitat is the abandoned burrows it utilizes. Prairie dogs or ground squirrels typically dig these burrows. While grasses dominate the portion of the project area along the TESCO ROW, abandoned burrows were not observed during the on-site investigation. Furthermore, the likelihood of locating a burrow is negligible due to the lack of prairie dogs and ground squirrels within the project area. Therefore,the western burrowing owl is not expected to occur within or adjacent to the project area. Alan Plummer Associates, Inc Page 7 F:%prujccts13M32051DucVM,E Altachmc"I-XV REV(SM).duc Assessment of Potential Impacts to Listed Species 16-Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development The whooping crane (Gros americana) is known to migrate through, but not nest in the area. Typical preferred roosting habitat by a migrating crane includes marshy wetlands and riverine m. habitat while croplands and marshy wetlands are typically used by migrating whooping cranes for feeding. Since whooping cranes have been previously documented migrating through the - area within the former fish hatchery ponds near Eagle Mountain fake as well as Lake Worth,the whooping crane may occur within or adjacent to the project area. The plains spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius interrupta) prefers rocky outcroppings in woodlands or tall-grass prairies oven near farmyards or buildings. The skunks are most often found in open grasslands, brushy areas, or cultivated land. Dens are usually located in rocky - crevices, haystacks, woodpiles, hollow logs or trees, or brush piles. The portion project area along Silver Creek and the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth are wooded. However, the only area within the project area that contains rocky outcroppings desirable to the skunk for creating a den are located north of the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth. Conversely, neither brush piles nor haystacks were observed within the remaining portion of the project area. Therefore, the plains spotted skunk may occur within or adjacent to the project area. The "Texas garter snake ('Thamnophis sirtalis annectens) prefers tall-grass prairie, riparian meadowlands, juniper-wooded canyons, and flooded pastures. It is often located in wet meadows, marshes, prairie swales, irrigation and drainage ditches, or damp woodlands. Due to the identified 100-year floodplain along Silver Creek and its associated riparian area containing dense areas of Virginia wild-rye (Elynius virginicus), the Texas garter snake may occur within or adjacent to the project area. The Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) prefers and regions with sparse vegetation. The majority of the project area contains treed areas with the exception of the TESCO ROW_ The TESCO ROW contains mostly herbaceous vegetation with no areas of sparse vegetation. Due to a lack of suitable habitat, the Texas homed lizard is not expected to occur within the project area. Alan Plummer Associates, Inc ~ Page 8 R:prujectst3ir%32moasCw Attnchmcnt_XV REVISED.doc Assessment of Potential Impacts to Listed Species 16-Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development The timber/canebrake rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) prefers cane reed thicIzets within damp clearings or deciduous riparian woodlands with dense undergrowth (i.e. grapevines or palmetto). A primary component of the rattlesnake's habitat seems to be rocky outcroppings within wooded areas. The riparian area along Silver Creek is wooded; however, rocky outcroppings were not observed during the on-site investigation. Conversely, the area near the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth did contain areas of limestone outcroppings. Therefore, the timber/danebrake rattlesnake may occur within or adjacent to the project area. The auriculate false foxglove (Tomanthera auriculata) is presumed extirpated in Texas with the only record being from the late 1800's. The foxglove prefers floodplains, degraded prairies, and fallow fields. It prefers thickets containing grasses and occasional shrubs, savannas, woodland borders, abandoned fields, and areas along railroads (particularly where remnant prairies occur). The foxglove is intolerant of frequent mowing or grazing. While a portion-of the project area lies within the floodplain for Silver Creek, this area is densely wooded and lacks the wet meadow preferred by the foxglove. Therefore, due to the lack of suitable habitat within the project area, the auriculate false foxglove is not expected to occur within or adjacent to the project area. Finally, the Glen Rose yucca (Yucca necopina) can be found on grasslands on sandy soils or in clayey soil on top of limestone. The Soil Survey of Tarrant County (United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service in cooperation with the Texas Agriculture Experiment Station) describes the soils within the project area as predominantly loamy soils. Series descriptions indicate that limestone is present beneath these loamy layers. The Shinners & Mahler's Illustrated Flora of North Central Texas indicates, however, that this species is only known from a sandy fence row on Brazos River terrace near Glen Rose, Sommervell County Texas. Based on this information, the Glen Rose yucca is not expected to occur within or adjacent to the project area.

Based on the on-site investigation as well as published and unpublished sources, seven state listed species, including two with federal status, may occur within or adjacent to the project area. These species,along with their listed status, are provided below in Table 2.

Some clearing of trees within both Silver Creek and the unnamed tributary to Lake Worth's riparian areas will be necessary; however, these riparian areas were not preferred habitat for any of the listed species. Finally, wildlife (including those species listed in Table 11) may experience temporary impacts due to heightened activity and resulting noise pollution during construction. C. Conservation Measures Every effort was made to avoid impacts to listed species and their preferred habitat, if present. The proposed pipeline is being aligned adjacent to an existing roadway as well as an existing power line ROW. This will allow construction vehicles to utilize the existing roadway and ROW thereby reducing the need to clear additional area. Furthermore, alignment along an existing ROW and roadway will avoid further fragmentation of the habitat within and adjacent to the Alan Plummer Associates, Inc Page 10 P:lprojeclsUt8Li3051DpeCP.tf:Attaclmtent !CV REVISEU).doo Assessment of Potential Impacts to Listed Species 16-Inch Water Line Extension to Turtle Creek Development project area. The proposed pipeline will also be aligned such that it will cross aquatic features in a perpendicular alignment where practicable thus minimizing impacts to these features. Finally, should any of the listed species be observed during construction, construction should cease until the species has vacated the area. IV. CONCLUSIONS Based on the documentation provided in this report, the proposed project may temporarily affect the species listed in Table 2. However, these impacts will be temporary and only during construction. Therefore, the proposed project will not jeopardize the continued existence of any of the federally or state listed species for Tarrant County. a Alun Plummer Associates, Inc T Page 11 f:projects`J13\3205%1)oeVr&EAtiachwoat XVILEVISGD.doc --.,a a . .

Discharges to Specific Watersheds and Water Quality Areas Discharges otherwise eligible for coverage cannot be authorized by this general permit where prohibited by 30 TAC Chapter 311.(relating to Watershed Protection) for water quality areas and watersheds. 7. Protection of Streams and Watersheds by Other Governmental Entities This general permit does not limit the authority or ability of federal,other state, or local governmental entities from placing additional or more stringent requirements on construction activities or discharges from construction activities. For example, this permit does not limit the authority of a home-rule municipality provided by Section 401.002 of the Texas Local Government Code. 8. Indian Country Lands Storm water runoff from construction activities occurring on Indian Country lands are not under the authority of the TCEQ and are not eligible for coverage under this general permit. If.discharges of storm water require authorization under federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)regulations,authority for these discharges must be obtained from the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 9. Oil and Gas Production Storm water runoff from construction activities associated with the exploration, development, or production of oil or gas or geothermal resources, including transportation of crude oil or natural gas by pipeline, are not under the authority of the TCEQ and are not eligible for coverage under this general permit. If discharges Page 10 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 of storm water require authorization under federal NPDES regulations,authority for these discharges must be obtained from the EPA. 10. Storm Water Discharges from Agricultural Activities Storm water discharges from agricultural activities that are not point source discharges of storm water are not subject to TPDES permit requirements. These activities may include clearing and cultivating ground for crops, construction of fences to contain livestock, construction of stock ponds, and other similar agricultural activities. Section C. Deadlines for Obtaining Authorization to Discharge 1. Large Construction Activities (a) New Construction - Discharges from sites where the commencement of construction occurs on or after the issuance date of this general permit must be authorized, either under this general permit or a separate TPDES permit, prior to the commencement of those construction activities.

Authorization must be terminated by submitting a Notice of Termination(NOT)on a form supplied by the executive director. Authorization to discharge under this permit terminates at midnight on the day the NOT is postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ. If electronic submission of the NOT is provided, authorization to discharge under this permit terminates immediately following confirmation of receipt of the NOT by the TCEQ. Compliance with the conditions and requirements of this permit is required until an NOT is submitted. 1. Notice of Termination Required The NOT must be submitted to TCEQ, and a copy of the NOT provided to the operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge,within thirty(30)days, after: (a) final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee: or (b) another permitted operator has assumed conirol over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized; and (c) all silt fences and other temporary erosion controls have either been removed, scheduled for removal as defined in the SWP3, or transferred to a new operator if the new operator has sought permit coverage. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in place for an indefinite period,such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be removed or scheduled for removal. 2. Minimum Contents of the NOT The NOT form shall require, at a minimum, the following information: (a) if authorization was granted following submission of a NOI,the permittees site-specific TPDES general permit number for the construction site; Page 15 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 (b) an indication of whether the construction activity is completed or if the permittee is simply no longer an operator at the site; (c) the name, address and telephone number of the permittee submitting the NOT; (d) the name(or other identifier),address, county, and latitude/longitude of the construction project or site; and (e) a signed certification that either all storm water discharges requiring authorization under this general permit will no longer occur, or that the applicant to terminate coverage is no longer the operator of the facility or construction site, and that all temporary structural erosion controls have either been removed,will be removed on a schedule defined in the SWP3,or transferred to a new operator if the new operator has applied for permit coverage. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in place for an indefinite period, such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be removed or scheduled for removal. Section F. Waivers from Coverage The executive director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit for storm water discharges from small construction activities under the terms and conditions described in this section. 1. Waiver Applicability and Coverage Operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from the requirements to obtain authorization under this general permit where: (a) the calculated rainfall erosivity R factor for the entire period of the construction project is less than five (5); (b) the operator submits a signed waiver certification form, supplied by the executive director, certifying that the construction activity will commence and be completed within a period when the value of the calculated rainfall erosivity R factor is less than five(5); and (c) the waiver certification form is submitted to the TCEQ at least two(2)days before construction activity begins. 2. Effective Date of Waiver Operators of small construction activities are provisionally waived from the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit two(2)days from the date that a completed waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ. Page 16 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 3. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to circumstances beyond the control of the operator, the operator must either: (a) recalculate the rainfall erosivity factor R factor using the original start date and a new projected ending date, and if the R factor is still under five (5), submit a new waiver certification form at least two(2)days before the end of the original waiver period; or (b) obtain authorization under this general permit according to the requirements delineated in either Part II.D.2.or Part II.D.3.at least two(2)days before the end of the approved waiver period. Section G. Alternative TPDES Permit Coverage 1. Individual Permit Alternative Any discharge eligible for coverage under this general permit may alternatively be authorized under an individual TPDES permit according to 30 TAC Chapter 305 (relating to Consolidated Permits). Applications for individual permit coverage should be submitted at least three hundred and thirty (330) days prior to commencement of construction activities to ensure timely issuance. 2. Individual Permit Required ffi The executive director may suspend an authorization or NOI in accordance with the procedures set forth in 30 TAC Chapter 205, including the requirement that the executive director provide written notice to the permittee. The executive director may require an operator of a construction site, otherwise eligible for authorization under this general permit,to apply for an individual TPDES permit because of: (a) the conditions of an approved TMDL or TMDL implementation plan; (b) the activity is determined to cause a violation of water quality standards or is found to cause, or contribute to, the loss of a designated use of surface water in the state: and (c) any other considerations defined in 30 TAC Chapter 205 would include the provision at 30 TAC § 205.4(c)(3)(D), which allows TCEQ to deny authorization under the general permit and require an individual permit if a discharger"has been determined by the executive director to have been out of compliance with any rule, order, or permit of the commission, including non-payment of fees assessed by the executive director." Page 17 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 3. Any discharge eligible for authorization under this general permit may alternatively ' be authorized under a separate, applicable general permit according to 30 TAC Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges). Section H. Permit Expiration This general permit shall be issued for a term not to exceed five(5)years. Following public notice and comment, as provided by 30 TAC § 205.3 (relating to Public Notice, Public Meetings, and Public Comment),the commission may amend,revoke,cancel,or renew this general permit. If the TCEQ publishes a notice of its intent to renew or amend this general permit before-the expiration date,the permit will remain in effect for existing,authorized,discharges until the commission takes final action on the permit. Upon issuance of a renewed or amended permit, permittees may be required to submit an NOI within 90 days following the effective date of the renewed or amended permit,unless that permit provides for an alternative method for obtaining authorization. In the event that the general permit is not renewed,discharges that are authorized under the general permit must obtain either a TPDES individual permit or coverage under an alternative general permit. Part III. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3) ' Storm water pollution prevention plans must be prepared for storm water discharges that will reach Waters of the United States, including discharges to MS4 systems and privately owned separate storm sewer systems that drain to Waters of the United States, to identify and address potential sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges from the construction site,including off-site material storage areas,overburden and stockpiles ofdirt,borrow areas,equipment staging areas,vehicle repair areas,fueling areas,etc.,used solely by the permitted project. The SWP3 must describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges associated with construction activity at the construction site and assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Individual operators at a site may develop separate SWP3s that cover only their portion of the project provided reference is made to the other operators at the site. Where there is more than one SWP3 for a site,permittees must coordinate to ensure that BMPs and controls are consistent, and do not negate or impair the effectiveness of each other. Regardless of whether a single comprehensive SWP3 is developed, or separate SWP3s are developed for each operator, it is the responsibility of each operator to ensure that compliance with the terms and conditions of this general permit is met in the areas of the construction site where that operator has operational control over construction plans and specifications or day-to-day operational control. Section A. Shared SWP3 Development For more effective coordination of BMPs and opportunities for cost sharing,a cooperative effort by _ the different operators at a site is encouraged. Operators must independently submit an NOI and obtain authorization, but may work together to prepare and implement a single comprehensive SWP3 for the entire construction site. Page 18 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 1. The SWP3 must clearly list the name and, for large construction activities, the general permit authorization numbers, for each operator that participates in the shared SWP3. Until the TCEQ responds to receipt of the NOI with a general permit authorization number,the SWP3 must specify the date that the NOI was submitted to TCEQ by each operator. Each participant in the shared plan must also sign the SWP3. 2. The SWP3 must clearly indicate which operator is responsible for satisfying each shared requirement of the SWP3. If the responsibility for satisfying a requirement is not described in the plan, then each permittee is entirely responsible for meeting the requirement within the boundaries of the construction site where they perform construction activities. The SWP3 must clearly describe responsibilities for meeting each requirement in shared or common areas. Section B. Responsibilities of Operators 1. Operators with Control Over Construction Plans and Specifications All operators with operational control over construction plans and specifications to the extent necessary to meet the requirements and conditions of this general permit must: (a) ensure the project specifications allow or provide that adequate BNPs may be developed to meet the requirements of Part III of this general permit; (b) ensure that the SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where they have operational control over project specifications(including the ability to make modifications in specifications); (c) ensure all other operators affected by modifications in project specifications are notified in a timely manner such that those operators may modify best management practices as are necessary to remain compliant with the conditions of this general permit; and (d) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators indicates the name and TPDES permit numbers for permittees with the day- , to-day operational control over those activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions. In the case that responsible parties have not been identified, the permittee with operational control over project specifications must be considered to be the responsible party until such time as the authority is transferred to another party and the plan is updated. Pae 19 Page �.:z�?IK•1 ,1 µ;;Vi,, TPDES General Permit TXR150000 2. Operators with Day-to-Day Operational Control Operators with day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project that are _ necessary to ensure compliance with a SWP3 and other permit conditions must: (a) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators meets the requirements of this general permit; (b) ensure that the SWP3 identifies the parties responsible for implementation of best management practices described in the plan; (c) ensure that the SWP3 indicates areas of the project where they have operational control over day-to-day activities; (d) ensure that the SWP3 indicates,for areas where they have operational control over day-to-day activities,the name and TPDES permit number of the parties with operational control over project specifications(including the ability to make modifications in specifications). Section C. Deadlines for SVWP3:Preparatiou and Compliance 1. The SWP3 must be: (a) completed prior to obtaining authorization under this general permit; (b) implemented prior to commencing construction activities that result in soil disturbance; (c) updated as necessary to reflect the changing conditions of new operators, new areas of responsibility, and changes in best management practices;and (d) prepared so that it provides for compliance with the terms and conditions of this general permit. . Section D. Plan Review and Making Plans Available 1. The SWP3 must be retained on-site at the construction site or,if the site is inactive or does not have an on-site location to store the plan, a notice must be posted describing the location of the SWP3. The SWP3 must be made readily available at the time of an on-site inspection to: the executive director;a federal,state,or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans, grading plans, or storm water management plans; local government officials; and the operator of a municipal -- separate storm sewer receiving discharges from the site. 2. Operators of a large construction activity obtaining authorization to discharge through submission of a NOI must post a notice near the main entrance of the Page 20 -- TPDES General Permit TXR150000 construction site. If the construction project is a linear construction project (e.g. pipeline,highway,etc.), the notice must be placed in a publicly accessible location near where construction is actively underway. Notice for these linear sites may be relocated, as necessary, along the length of the project. The notice must be readily available for viewing by the general public, local,state,and federal authorities,and contain the following information: (a) the TPDES general permit number for the project(or a copy of the NOI that was submitted to the TCEQ if a permit number has not yet been assigned); (b) the name and telephone number of a representative for the operator; (c) a brief description of the project;and (d) the location of the SWP3. 3. This permit does not provide the general public with any right to trespass on a construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site;nor does this permit requiie that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction site. Section E. ]Keeping Plans Current The permittee must revise or update the storm water pollution prevention plan whenever: 1. there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants and that has not been previously addressed in the SWP3; or 2. results of inspections or investigations by site operators, operators of a municipal separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, authorized TCEQ personnel, or a federal,state or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans indicate the SWP3 is proving ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in discharges authorized under this general permit. Section F. Contents of SWP3 The SWP3 must include, at a minimum,the information described in this section. 1. A site description,or project description must.be developed to include: (a) a description of the nature of the construction activity, potential pollutants and sources; (b) a description of the intended schedule or sequence of major activities that will disturb soils for major portions of the site; Page 21 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 (c) the total number of acres of the entire property and the total number of acres where construction activities will occur, including off-site material storage areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, and borrow areas; (d) data describing the soil or the quality of any discharge from the site; (e) a map showing the general location of the site (e.g. a portion of a city or county map); (f) a detailed site map(or maps) indicating the following: (i) drainage patterns and approximate slopes anticipated after major grading activities; (ii) areas where soil disturbance will occur; (iii) locations of all major structural controls either planned or in place; (iv) locations where stabilization practices are expected to be used; (v) locations of off-site material, waste, borrow, fill, or equipment storage areas; (vi) surface waters (including wetlands) either adjacent or in close proximity; and (vii) locations where storm water discharges from the site directly to a surface water body. . (g) the location and description of asphalt plants and concrete plants providing _ support to the construction site and authorized under this general permit; (h) the name of receiving waters at or near the site that will be disturbed or that will receive discharges from disturbed areas of the project; and (i) a copy of this TPDES general permit. 2. The SWP3 must describe the best management practices that;will be used to minimize pollution in runoff. The description must identify the general timing or sequence for implementation. At a minimum, the description must include the following components: (a) Erosion and Sediment Controls (i) Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment mmm, on-site to the extent practicable with consideration for local Page 22 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 topography, soil type, and rainfall. Controls must also be designed and utilized to reduce the offsite transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump or channel standing water from the site. (ii) Control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained according to the manufacturer's or designer's specifications. If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used incorrectly,or that the control is performing inadequately,the operator must replace or modify the control as soon as practicable after discovery that the control has been used incorrectly, is performing inadequately, or is damaged. (iii) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps and sedimentation ponds no later than the time that design capacity has been reduced by 50%. (iv) If sediment escapes the site, accumulations must be removed at a frequency to minimize further negative effects, and whenever feasible,prior to the next rain event. (v) Controls must be developed to limit,to the extent practicable,offsite transport of litter, construction debris, and construction materials. (b) Stabilization Practices The SWP3 must include a description of interim and permanent stabilization practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be implemented. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation is preserved where it is possible. (i) Stabilization practices may include but are not limited to: establishment of temporary vegetation, establishment of permanent vegetation,mulching,geotextiles,sod stabilization,vegetative buffer strips,protection of existing trees and vegetation, and other similar measures. (ii) The following records must be maintained and either attached to or referenced in the SWP3, and made readily available upon request to the parties in Part III.D.I of this general permit: (a) the dates when major grading activities occur; (b) the dates when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a portion of the site; and Page 23 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 (c) the dates when stabilization measures are initiated. (iii) Stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased,and except as provided in(a)through(c)below, must be initiated no more than fourteen (14) days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased. (a) Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground conditions, stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable. .-v (b) Where construction; _actLyity on a. portion of the site. is temporarily ceased, and earth disturbing activities will be resumed within twenty-one(2 1)days,temporary stabilization m measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of site. (c) In and areas(areas with an average rainfall of 0 to 10 inches), semiarid areas(areas with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 20 inches), and areas experiencing droughts where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by seasonably and conditions, stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable. _ 3. Structural Control Practices The SWP3 must include a description of any structural control practices used to divert flows away from exposed soils, to limit the contact of runoff with disturbed areas, or to lessen the off-site transport of eroded soils. (a) Sediment basins are required,where feasible for common drainage locations that serve an area with ten (10) or more acres disturbed at one time, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year; 24-hour storm from each disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, shall be provided _ where attainable until final stabilization of the site.Where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be performed, a temporary(or permanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained is required where attainable until final stabilization of the site. When calculating the volume of runoff from a 2-year,24-hour storm event,it is not required to include the flows from offsite areas and flow from onsite areas that are either undisturbed or have already undergone final stabilization,if Page 24 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 these flows are diverted around both the disturbed areas of the site and the sediment basin. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is feasible,the permittee may consider factors such as site soils,slope,available area on site, public safety, precipitation patterns, site geometry, site vegetation,infiltration capacity,geotechnical factors,depth to groundwater and other similar considerations. Where sediment basins are not feasible, equivalent control measures,which may include a series of smaller sediment basins,must be used. At a minimum,silt fences,vegetative buffer strips,or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries(and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of the construction area. (b) Sediment traps and sediment basins may also be used to control solids in storm water runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten(10)acres. At a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries(and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions)of the construction. Alternatively,a sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each disturbed acre drained,or equivalent control measures,may be provided or where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be performed, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained may be provided. 4. Permanent Storm Water Controls A description of any measures that will be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3. Permittees are only responsible for the installation and maintenance of storm water management measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT. 5. Other Controls (a) Off-site vehicle tracking of sediments and the generation of dust must be minimized. (b) The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials expected to be stored on-site and a description of controls to reduce pollutants from these materials. (c) The SWP3 must include a description of pollutant sources from areas other than construction(including storm water discharges from dedicated asphalt plants and dedicated concrete plants), and a description of controls and measures that will be implemented at those sites to minimize pollutant discharges. Page 25 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 (d) Velocity dissipation devices shall be placed at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel to provide a non-erosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and protected. 6. Approved State and Local Plans (a) Permittees must ensure the SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or site permits, or storm water management site plans or site permits approved by federal;state, or local officials. (b) SWP3s must be updated as necessary to remain consistent with any changes applicable to protecting surface water resources in sediment erosion site plans or site permits, or storm water management site plans or site permits approved by state or local official for which the permittee receives written notice. 7. Maintenance All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective operating condition. If through inspections the permittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively, maintenance must be performed before the next anticipated storm event or as - necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of storm water controls. If maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable,maintenance must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as practicable. Erosion and sediment controls that have been intentionally disabled, run-over, removed, or otherwise rendered ineffective must be replaced or corrected immediately upon discovery. 8. Inspections of Controls In the event of flooding or other uncontrollable situations which prohibit access to the inspection sites, inspections must be conducted as soon as access is practicable (a) Personnel provided by the permittee and familiar with the SWP3 must inspect disturbed areas of the construction site that have not been finally stabilized, areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation, and structural controls for evidence of, or the potential for, _ pollutants entering the drainage system. Sediment and erosion control measures identified in the SWP3 must be inspected to ensure that they are operating correctly. Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking. Inspections must be conducted at least once every fourteen(14)calendar days and within twenty four(24)hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater. Page 26 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized, where runoff is unlikely due to winter conditions (e.g. site is covered with snow, ice, or frozen ground exists), or during seasonal and periods in and areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of 0 to 10 inches)and semi-arid areas(areas with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 20 inches), inspections must be conducted at least once every month. As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that these inspections will occur at least once every seven(7)calendar days. If this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a specifically defined day,regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall event since the previous inspection. (b) Utility line installation,pipeline construction, and other examples of long, narrow,linear construction activities may provide inspection personnel with limited access to the areas described in Part III.F.8.(a)above. Inspection of these areas could require that vehicles compromise temporarily or even permanently stabilized areas, cause additional disturbance of soils, and increase the potential for erosion. In these circumstances, controls must be inspected at least once every fourteen(14)calendar days and within twenty four(24)hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches,but representative inspections may be performed. For representative inspections, personnel must inspect controls along the construction site for 0.25 mile above and below each access point where a roadway,undisturbed right-of-way,or other similar feature intersects the construction site and allows access to the areas described in Part III.F.8.(a).above. The conditions of the controls along each inspected 0.25 mile segment may be considered as representative of the condition of controls along that reach extending from the end of the 0.25 mile segment to either the end of the next 0.25 mile inspected segment, or to the end of the project,whichever occurs first. As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that these inspections will occur at least once every seven(7)calendar days. If this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a specifically defined day,regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall event since the previous inspection. (c) The SWP3 must be modified based on the results of inspections, as necessary,to better control pollutants in runoff. Revisions to the SWP3 must be completed within seven (7) calendar days following the inspection. If existing BMPs are modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, an implementation schedule must be described in the SWP3 and wherever Page 27 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 possible those changes implemented before the next storm event. If implementation before the.next anticipated storm event is impracticable, these changes must be implemented as soon as practicable. (d) A report summarizing the scope of the inspection, names and qualifications of personnel making the inspection, the dates of the inspection, and major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3 must be made and retained as part of the SWP3. Major observations should include: The locations of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site; locations of BMPs that need to be maintained;locations of BMPs that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; and locations where additional BMPs are needed. Actions taken as a result of inspections must be described within, and retained as a part of,the SWP3. Reports must identify any incidents of non- _. compliance. Where a report does not identify any incidents of non- compliance,the report must contain a certification that the facility or site is in compliance with the SWP3 and this permit.The report must be signed by _ the person and in the manner required by 30 TAC § 305.128 (relating to Signatories to Reports) 9. The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution prevention measures for all eligible non-storm water components of the discharge. Part IV.Numeric Effluent Limitations Section A. Limitations All discharges of storm water runoff from concrete batch plants that qualify for coverage,and that are authorized to discharge storm water under the provisions of this general permit must be _.. monitored at the following monitoring.frequency and comply with the following numeric effluent limitations: Limitations Monitoring - Parameter Daily Maximum Frequency Total Suspended Solids 65 mg/1 1/Year* Oil and Grease 15 mg/1 1/Year* pH between 6 and 9 standard units 1/Year* *-If discharge occurs. Section B. Reporting Requirements Results of monitoring for determining compliance with numeric effluent limitations must be recorded on a discharge monitoring report(DMR). The DMR must either be an original EPA No. 3320-1 form(Attachment 3 of this general permit),a duplicate of the form,or as otherwise provided by the executive director. Monitoring must be conducted prior to December 31" for each annual Page 28 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 monitoring period. A copy of the DMR must either be retained at the facility or shall be made readily available for review by.authorized TCEQ personnel upon request,by March 31"following the end of each annual monitoring period. If the results indicate the violation of one or more of these numeric limitations, the permittee must also submit the DMR to the TCEQ's Information Resources Center(MC 212)by March 31"'of each annual monitoring period. Part V. Retention of Records The permittee must retain the following records for a minimum period of three(3)years from the date that a NOT is submitted as required by Part H.D. For activities that are not required to submit an NOT,records shall be retained for a minimum period of three(3)years from the date that either: final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee;or another permitted operator has assumed control according to over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized. Records include: 1. A copy of the SWP3 plan. 2. All reports and actions required by this permit, including a copy of the construction site notice. 3. All data used to complete the NOI, if an NOI is required for coverage under this general permit. Part VI. Standard Permit Conditions 1. The permittee has a duty to comply with all permit conditions. Failure to comply with any permit condition is a violation of the permit and statutes under which it was issued, and is grounds for enforcement action,for terminating coverage under this general permit,or for requiring a discharger to apply for and obtain an individual TPDES permit. 2. Authorization under this general permit may be suspended or revoked for cause. Filing a notice of planned changes or anticipated non-compliance by the permittee does not stay any permit condition. The permittee must furnish to the executive director, upon request and within a reasonable time,any information necessary for the executive director to determine whether cause exists for revoking, suspending, or terminating authorization under this permit. Additionally, the permittee must provide to the executive director,upon request, copies of all records that the permittee is required to maintain as a condition of this general permit. 3. It is not a defense for a discharger in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity to maintain compliance with the permit conditions. 4. Inspection and entry shall be allowed under Texas Water Code Chapters 26-28,Health and Safety Code§§ 361.032-361.033 and 361.037, and 40 Code of Federal Regulations(CFR) §122.41(i). The statement in Texas Water Code§26.014 that commission entry of a facility shall occur according to an establishment's rules and regulations concerning safety,internal security,and fire protection is not grounds for denial or restriction of entry to any part of the Page 29 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 facility or site,but merely describes the commission's duty to observe appropriate rules and regulations during an inspection. 5. The discharger is subject to administrative,civil,and criminal penalties,as applicable,under Texas Water Code§§26.136,26.212,and 26.213 for violations including but not limited to the following: a. negligently or knowingly violating CWA, §§ 301,302,306,307, 308, 318,or 405, or any condition or limitation implementing any sections in a permit issued under CWA,§402,or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under CWA, §§ 402(a)(3)or 402(b)(8); b. knowingly malting any false statement,representation,or certification in any record _ or other document submitted or required to be maintained under a permit,including monitoring reports or reports of compliance or noncompliance. 6. All reports and other information requested by the executive director must be signed by the person and in the manner required by 30 TAC§305.128(relating to Signatories to Reports). 7. Authorization under this general permit does not convey property or water rights of any sort and does not grant any exclusive privilege. Part VII. Fees Section A. Application Fees An application fee of$100 must be submitted with each NOI for coverage of a large construction activity. A fee is not required for submission of an NOT or NOC letter. Section B. Water Quality Fees Large construction activities authorized under this general permit must pay an annual Water Quality Fee of$100 under Texas Water Code 26.0291 and according to TAC Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges).

Utility requesting permit must provide three copies of drawings or diagrams showing ( proposed utility location with respect to right-of-way, type of utility, size, length, and material. G. The construction and maintenance of such utility shall not interfere with the property and rights of a prior occupant. When necessary to remove or adjust another utility, a representative of that utility shall be notified to decide method and work to be done. Any cost of temporarily or permanently relocating other utilities shall be borne by permit holder or contractor. H. The Utility/Contractor shall make every effort to open and close all trenching operations during the daylight hours of one day. Appropriate measures shall be followed in the interest of safety, traffic convenience and access to adjacent property for all trenching operations. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to adhere to the section on construction and maintenance as outlined-in the Tex,s Manual on UriifprM Traffic Comet ci�1 Devices. I. All lines, where practicable, shall be located to cross roadbed at approximately right angle ` thereto. No lines are to be installed under or within 50 feet of either end of any bridge. No lines shall be-placed in any culvert or within 10 feet of the closest point of same. J. Parallel lines will be installed as near to the'right-of--way line as possible, and no parallel line will be installed in the roadbed or between ffie drainage ditch and the roadbed without special permission of the Transportation Services Department. K. No work shall be performed in the County right-of-way until after a permit has been issued by the Transportation Services Department. Each permit will be valid for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from issue date. If construction has not been completed within this - period, permit must be renewed. The Contractor shall have the executed permit available on the job site during the duration of the work. L. All open cut-excavations shall be no greater in width than is necessary to adequately install the utility line. The minimum depth of a utility line shall be twenty-four inches (24") _ below the flowline of existing ditch. M. Operations along roadways shall be performed in such a manner that all excavated material _ be kept off the pavdments at all times, as well as all operating equipment.and materials. No equipment or installation procedures will be used which wlll damage any road surface or structures. 'The cost of any repairs to road surface,roadbed, structures, or other right-of N. way features as a direct result of this installation will be borne by the Utility. Upon completion of the project; all equipment, construction material, surplus materials, trash,broken concrete,lumber, etc, shall be removed from the construction site. The entire construction site shall be graded and cleaned to present the appearance as it was prior to construction or better. O. For utility lines crossing under County road, Contractor shall be required to drill, core, or bore through the subgrade at a depth to be determined by the Transportation Services Department if, however, such procedure is deemed impractical by reason of rock, utilities, underground construction -or terrain, special permission shall be granted by the Tarrant County Transportation Services Department before an open road cut will be allowed. if approved, trenching, backfilling, and resurfacing of the out shall be done in accordance with the procedures outlined in this specification. The Utility/Contractor shall be responsible for all paving repair for a period of one year after completion. P. Backfill requirements for all open cut excavation and trenches shall be as follows; 1. Areas not sub,�ect to or influenced by vehicular traffic—the trench backfill shall be placed in layers not more than ten inches(10") in depth,and shall be compacted by whatever means the Contractor chooses. 2. Areas subiect to or influenced by vehicular.-traffic—the trench backfill shall be mechanically compacted in six-inch (6") lifts to a minimum of ninety percent (90%)modified proctor density. a. Dirt Roads—Backfill shall be well tamped in six inch(6")layers to a'point nine inches (9") below the surface of the road, after which one-foot Sl') of good gravel shall be tamped until Ievel with the existing surface. b. Gravel Roads and Streets —Backfill shall be well tamped in six inch (6') layers to a point nine inches (9") below the surface of the road after which one foot (1') of good gravel shall be tamped until level with the existing surface. C. Asphalt Roads—Backfill materials shall be selected mineral aggregate and cement in proportions of 27 to 1, properly compacted (tamped to proper density of 90%) to within two inches (2") of-r6ad surface. Asphaltic concrete must then be added and tamped or rolled to make a level surface with existing road surface. ' 3 , 1 Q. The Contractor shall not cut or open more than one-half of the roadway at a time, in order j to maintain the flow of traffic at all times.
