awarded a contract as low bidder, nonresident bidders (out-of-state contractors
whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside of the State of
Texas) bid projects for construction , improvements, supplies or services in Texas at
an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a
Texas resident bidder would be required too underbid a nonresident bidder in order
to obtain a comparable contract in the State in which the nonresident's principal
place of business is located . The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out
by all out-of-state or nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications .
The failure of out-of-state or nonresident contractors to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A. Nonresident vendors in (give State), our principal place of
business, are required to be percent lower than resident bidders
by State law. A copy of the Statute is attached.
Nonresident vendors in (give State), our principal
place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders .
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas . D

PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS
D-67 REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE
A. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR
Part 61 , Subpart M . This specification will establish procedures to be used by all
Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance
with NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a
contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more
stringent.
,,
8 . ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category 11 , non-friable material in its intact state but
which may become friable upon removal , demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the
removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable , it is regulated under the disposal
requirements of 40 CFR 61 .150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas
Department of Health . The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of
the material. If it remains in its non -friable state, as defined by the NESHAP, it can be
disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) defines friable as material , when dry , which may be crumbled, pulverized or
reduced to powder by hand pressures .
C. The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper
handling, transportation , and disposal of the material. Therefore , it is the policy of the City
of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable
or not.
D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and
prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable . The Excavator is
responsible to employ those means , methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this
result.
E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not
limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of
Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs , which are the
responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached)
F. The removal and disposa l of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe
unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents.
D-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION (FOR DISTURBED AREAS GREATER
THAN 1 ACRE)
PERMIT: As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations , a
Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required
for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction
Activity) or five or more acres of total land (Large Construction Activity). The contractor is defined
as an "operator" by state regulations and is required to obtain a permit. Information concerning
the permit can be obtained through the Internet at http://www.tnrcc.state .tx .us/permitting/water
perm/wwperm/construct.html. Soil stabilization and structural practices have been selected and

Practices and Erosion Control Manual for Construction Activities (BMP Manual). This manual can
02114/07 SC-51
PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS
be obtained through the Internet at www .dfwstormwater.com/runoff.html. Not all of the structural
controls discussed in the BMP Manual will necessarily apply to this project. Best Management
Practices are construction management techniques that , if properly utilized , can minimize the
need for physical controls and possible reduce costs . The methods of control shall result in
minimum sediment retention of not less than 70%.
NOTICE OF INTENT (NOi): If the proj ect will result in a t.otal land disturbance equal to or greater
than 5 acres , the contractor shall sign at the pre-construction meeting a TCEQ Notice of Intent

activity as well as a commitment that the contractor understands the requirements of the permit
for storm water discharges from construction activities and that measures will be taken to
implement and maintain storm water pollution prevention at the site . The NOi shall be submitted
to the TCEQ at least 48 hours prior to the contractor moving on site and shall include the required
$100 application fee.

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 TCEQ continues to administer the
general construction permit 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 Appendix A). Upon receipt, place a copy
of the Permit Coverage Notice from TCEQ in Appendix A .
• Submit a copy of the NOi to the local municipality receiving storm water discharges from the
site .
• Prominently post in place for 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
the NOi 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.
• 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 Appendix A).
• 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
Appendix A).
• 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.
• This SWPPP must be updated within seven calendar days each time a significant modification
to the construction activities or pollutant control practices occur. These modifications shall be
recorded on the Record of Revision sheet located in Appendix A and in additional appendix
material , if required .
• Inspections shall be conducted, and a written report prepared , by a designated and qualified
person familiar with the TCEQ TPDES Storm Water General Permit, this SWPPP, and the
Project. The Contractor and subcontractors will conduct the inspections and annotate the
findings . Inspection reports are not required for walk-through in anticipation of storm events .
This SWPPP must be compliance certified by the appropriate authorized representative on the
Operator Compliance Certification sheet and Authorized Signatory sheet located in Appendix
A.
• Maintain a copy of this SWPPP on the Project Site throughout the duration of construction
activities.
• Within 30 days of completion of the construction activities and final stabilization, submit a
Notice of Termination (NOT) to the TCEQ (a copy of the NOT is located in Appendix A).
• This SWPPP along with supporting documentation must be retained for a period of three (3)
years after the completion of the Project. It is recommended that each of the operator(s)
maintain a copy of the SWPPP for the three-year period .
The SWPPP has been developed for the construction activities planned for the above-referenced
Project. The SWPPP allows flexibility in complying with the provisions of the TCEQ TPDES
General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated With Construction Activity.
The owner's representative (Authorized Signatory) is responsible for ensuring that the contractor
and all other participating subcontractors are in compliance with the provisions of the SWPPP . It is
the policy of the City of Fort Worth Department of Engineering that all construction activities
performed by the contractor and/or a subcontractor is in compliance with all federal, state , and

1.14 Receiving Waters ·
There no known significant receiving waters in the vicinity of the project site. Storm water is
conveyed through open channels and/or underground systems to tributaries that outfall to the
West Fork of Trinity River.
2.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS
2.1 Performance Standards
In keeping in compliance with Part IV.D.2.a of the EPA's General Construction Permit
the following short and long term goals and criteria need to be applied. It is EPA's intent
that erosion and sediment contro ls should be designed to retain sediment on-site to the
extent practicable. The TCEQ will at a minimum retain the same erosion and control
standards required by the EPA.
All control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer's spec ification s and good engineering practices. If periodi c
inspections or other information indicates a control has been used inappropriately, or
incorrectly , the permittee must replace or modify the control for site situations.
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).
2.2 Erosion and Sediment Controls
Erosion and sediment control practices can be divided into three broad categories: (I) so i l
stabi li zation, (2) structural controls, and (3) management practices. Each of these
categories has temporary and permanent control measures to be considered. Soil
stabilization and structural pract ices should be selected and designed in accordance with
North Cen tral Texas Council of Governments Bes t Management Practices and Erosion
Control Manual for Construction Activities (BMP Manual). Not all of the structural
contro ls 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 contro ls and possibly reduce costs.
2.2.1 Soil Stabilization
Where land disturbance is necessary , the fo llo wing methods of soil stabilization
will include the following:
• Temporary seeding
• Permanent seeding
• Mulching
6
2004 Capital Improvement Program-City of Fort Worth , Texas BOS Technologies Inc .
• Geotextiles
• Sod stab ilization
• Vegative 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 provided 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.
• 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.
• 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 .
• In arid areas (areas with an average rainfall ofO 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 seasonable arid 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 Appendix D-Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plans.
• Inlet Protection Devices
• Silt Fences
The construction site will require inlet protection and si lt fences or equivalent
sediment controls for all side slope and down s lope boundaries of the
construction area.
2.2.3 Management Practices
The following are some management considerations that should be emp loyed in
conjunction with the erosion and sediment controls described above:
7
2004 Capital Improve ment Program--City of Fort Worth , Texas BDS Technologies Inc.
• Sequence construction so that no area remams 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.
• 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 a landfill 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 , minimize 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 the manufacturer.
Use contaminant berms in fueling and maintenance are as and where potential
for sp ill s is high .
8
2004 Capital Improvement Program-City of Fort Worth , Texas BOS Technologies Inc.
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.
2.4.3 Dust Control/Off-Site Vehicle Tracking
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. 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:
• Washout water cannot leave location
• Storm water runoff will not wash away concrete washout
• Wash out will not impact future land uses
• Permission to washout has been granted by the property owner
• The location is readily accessible to concrete trucks
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.
2.4.6 Water Source
Nonpotable 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:
9
2004 Capital Improveme nt Program-City of Fort Worth, Texas BOS Technologies Inc.
Equipment fueling, maintenance and cleaning should on ly 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.
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 federa l,·
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 followin g
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:
• North Central Texas Council of Governments Best Management Practice and Erosion
Control Manual for Construction Sites
4.0 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The following items are to be integrated into the inspection and maintenance program:
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. EPA also recommends that walk-throughs be conducted prior to anticipated
storm events. Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized, runoff is unlikely
due to winter conditions (e.g., site is covered with snow, ice, or frozen ground exists), or
during seasonal arid periods in arid regions ( areas with an average annual rainfall of O to
IO inches) and semi-arid regi ons (areas with an average annual rainfall of IO to 20
inches) suc h inspections shall be conducted at least once every month.
10
2004 Cap ital Improvement Program-City of Fort Worth , Texas BDS Technologies Inc .
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 City of Fort Worth Department of Engineering personnel,
contractors and subcontractors will conduct the inspections and annotate the findings.
Inspection reports are not required for walk-throughs in anticipation of storm events .
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.
Standard Permit Conditions section of the Construction 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 below and are included in Appendix
A-Reports and Forms. Inspection reports shall be kept in this SWPPP for at least three
years from the date the site achieves stabilization.
• SWPPP Inspection Report
• SWPPP Non-Storm Water Inspection Report
• Record of Temporary/Permanent ceasing of construction, Soil Stabilization and
Major Grading Activities
• SWPPP Record of Revisions
4.2 Construction Entrance
Locations where vehicles exit the site shall be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment
tracking. Each contractor and subcontractor shall be responsible for maintaining the
Construction Entrance and other controls as described in this SWPPP.
4.3 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.
4.4 Soil Stabilization Inspections
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 of70% or greater mu st be maintained to be considered as stab ili zed.
The operator or their representative will water , fertilize and reseed di s turbed areas as
needed to achieve this goal.
4.5 Erosion and Sediment Control Inspections
11
2004 Capital Improvement Program-C ity of Fort Worth, Texas BOS Technologies Inc.
All controls should be inspected at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days (every
day for sandbag berms) and following any storm event of 0.5 inches or greater. It is also
recommended that walk-throughs be conducted prior to storm events. The following is a
list of inspection/maintenance practices that will be used for specific controls:
• Mulching: Inspect for thin or bare spots caused by natural decomposition or weather-
related events. Mulch in high traffic area should be replaced on a regular basis t o
maintain uniform protection.
• Silt _ Fence: Removal of bui lt up sediment will occur when the sediment reaches one
half the height of the fence .
• Vegetation: Protect newly seeded areas from excessive runoff and traffic until
vegetation is established. Establish a watering and fertilizing schedule.
• Good Housekeeping: Litter, construction debris, and construction chemicals exposed
to storm water shall be prevented from becoming a pollutant source for storm water
discharges through screening of outfalls and daily pickup of litter.
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 situ ation where sediment has washed into the street and could
be carried into the storm sewers by the ne xt rainfall and/or pose a safety hazard to users
of public streets.
4.6 Modifications/Revisions to SWPPP
Based on inspection results, any necessary modification to this SWPPP shall be
implemented within seven (7) calendar days of the inspection . A modification is
necessary if a control measure or operational procedure does not provide adequate
pollutant control. All revisions shall be recorded on the Record of Revisions (included in
Appendix A-Reports and Forms: Record of Revisions) within seven calendar days of
the in s pection.
It is the responsibility of the operator to maintain effective pollutant discharge controls .
Physical site conditions or contractor/s ubcontractor practices could make it necessary to
install more controls than were originally planned. For example, localized concentratiQns
of surface runoff or unusually steep areas could require additional silt barrier, or other
structural controls. Assessing the need for , and installing additional controls will be a
continuing contractor/subcontractor re s ponsibility until final stabilization is achieved .
Contractors and s ubcontractors implementing this SWPPP must remain alert to the need

you. The TCEQ may request documentation evidencing such authority.

STREET REHABILITATION IMPROVEMENTS
2004 CAPITAL [MPROVEMENTS PROJECT, CONTRACT 40
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
1.0 PROJECT TNFORMA TION
Proposed street improvements consists of S. Admas Street, W . Felix Street, S. Jennings Avenue,
Townsend Drive, W . Shaw Street and W . Devitt Street in City of Fort Worth, Texas. Existing
streets were asphalt paving. We understand that new streets are planned to be a concrete
pavement.
2.0 SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
The purposes of this study were to: 1) explore the subsurface conditions at the site, 2) evaluate
the pertinent engineering propetiies of the subsurface materials, and 3) provide recommendations
concerning pavement subgrade preparation and pavement sections.
3.0 FIELD OPERATIONS
A total of thirteen (12) borings were drilled on August 8, 2006 at the site. The boring locations
are shown on the Boring Location Diagram, on Figures la, lb, le, ld and le. The borings were
drilled to depths of 5 to l O feet at the site . The results of the boring program are presented on the
Logs of Boring, Figures 2 through 13. A Key To Log Terms and Symbols is presented on Figure
14 .
A truck-mounted continuous flight auger drilling rig was used to advance the borings and to obtain
samples for laboratory evaluation. Undisturbed specimens of cohesive soils were obtained at
intermittent intervals with standard, thin-walled, seamless tube samplers. These specimens were
extrnded in the field, logged, sealed and packaged to protect them from disturbance and maintain

their in-situ moisture content during transportation to our laboratory.
4.0 LABO RA TORY TESTING
Samples were examined at our laboratory by the project geotechnical engineer. Selected samples
were subjected to laboratory tests under the supervision of this engineer.
The in-situ unit weight, moisture c~ntent, and liquid and plastic limits of the selected soil samples
were measured . These tests ,:vere used to evaluate the potential volumettic change of the different
strata and as an indication of the uniformity of the material . Hand penetrometer tests were
performed to provide an indication of the variation of soil strength with depth . These test results
are tabulated on the boring Jogs .
Absorption swell tests were performed on selected undisturbed samples of the cohesive soils .
These tests ,vere perfonned for the purpose of evaluating the swell potential of these soils at their
in-situ moisture content . The results of these tests are presented on Figure 15 .
Lime-PI series were performed on clay soils in accordance with ASTM D-4318. The test results
are presented on Figures J 6 through 19 .
5.0 SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
5.1 Existing Paving Sections
A total of 12 test borings were d1illed and sampled through existing pavements of six streets. See
the Boring .Location Diagrams (Figure la through le) for site location and configuration. The
existing streets generally consist of two-lane asphalt pavement ( one lane in each direction) and
serv e residential traffics . Numerous failures and cracks were observed on the existing asphalt
pavement.

5.3 Groundwater
The borings were advanced with a continuous flight auger drilling equipment. This method allows
relatively accurate groundwater observations to be made while drilling. No groundwater was
encountered in the borings during drilling operations . All borings were dry upon completion.
It is not possible to accurately predict the magnitude of subsurface water fluctuations that might
occur based upon sho1t-term observations . The subsurface water conditions are subject to change
with variations in climatic conditions and are also functions of subsurface soil conditions .
7.0 PAVEMENTRECOMMENDATIONS
The data needed for pavement design include the project traffic loading, site soils data, and
pavement material properties . These design data and other design parameters used in the analyses
are discussed in the following sections . The pavement analyses were perfonned using these data
with the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures (1993). The pavement design
calculations were preformed using a computer software "PAVEMENT ANALYSIS
SOFTWARE" (PAS).
7.1 Traffic Loading
The proposed streets are classified as Residential-Urban in accordance with Street Classification
of Pavement Design Standard s, Pavement Thickness Design of City of Fort Worth . Based on
Table 4.1-Minimum Design Traffi c and design life for pavements in Section 4 of Pavement Design
Standards , the minimum annual design traffic is 35,000 ESALS for urban residential traffic .
Design Lift is 25 years . Therefore, the total design traffic ESAL is 875,000.
7.2 Pavement Design Parameters
Pavement design parameters used to develop the recommended pavement sections are presented
on Table 4.

7 .3 Pavement Sections
Flexible aspbaltic concrete pavement or 1igid Portland cement pavements can be used at this site .
. However, because of the active nature of the on-site clays, the rigid pavement sections are
expected to require less main.tenance and a longer service life than asphaltic concrete pavements.
For this reason, rigid concrete pavements are preferred .
7.3.1 Portland Cement Concrete (Rigid) Pavement

Total Pavement Sect ion 24 to 36 inches
The Po1tland cement concrete used on this project should comply in all respects with Item 360 of
the current edition of the TSDHPT Standard Specifications except as may be modified for this
project . PCC pavement should be placed on a subgrade prepared as Section 7.4 Subgrade
Preparation . Type I cement is recommended for use in the concrete pavement.
The concrete should have a minimum 28 day compressive strength of 4,500 psi (a modulus of
rupture of 600 psi). Concrete quality will be important in order to produce the desired flexural
strength and long term durability. Assuming a nominal maximum aggregate size of 1 to 1 3/8
inches, we recommend that the concrete have entrained air of 5 percent(± 1 %) with a maximum
water cement ratio of 0 .50.
Proper joint placement and design is critical to pavement performance. Load transfer at all
longitudinal joints and maintenance of water-tight joints should be accomplished by use of tie bars .
Control joints should be sawed within 5 to 12 hours after placing concrete. Joints should also be
properly cleaned and sealed as soon as possible to avoid infiltration of water, small gravel, etc.
We have found that joint spacing on 12 to 15 foot centers have generally performed satisfactorily.
Expansion joints should be sealed with an elastomeric joint sealant . It is our recommendation that
the concrete pavement be reinforced with No . 3 bars on approximately 18-inch centers in each
direction or equivalent reinforcing steel. The perimeter of the pavement area should have a
stiffening cu rb section to prevent possible distress due to heavy wheel loads near the edge of the

All hot mix asphalt concrete used on this project shall comply in all respects to Item 340 of the
cu rrent editio n of the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation's Standard
Specifications (TSDHPT) except as modified for this project. The paving mixture for the wearing
surface for new pavement for this project is recommended to be a Fine Graded Surface Course
(Type D). The paving mixture for the HMAC base course should be a coarse graded or fine
graded Base Course (Type A or Type B). The coarse aggregate in the surface layer should be a
crushed limestone rather than gravel.
All flexib le base requ ired for this project shall comply in all respects to Item 247 of the current
edition of the TSDHPT Standard Specifications, except as modified for this project. Type A,
Grade l, Flexible Base can be used as a base material under a HM.AC base course. Alternate types
of flexible ba.se materials may be acceptable for use on this project if approved by the owner. The
fle xible base materials shall be compacted to a minimum density of 95 percent of the maximum
density as determined by ASTM D 698 at a moistu re content between -2 and +3 percent of the
material's optimum moisture content.

7.4 Subgrade Preparation
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, it appears that existing fills consist
of on-site soils beneath the asphalt pavement. On-site clay soils are highly plastic clay soils . Clay
subgrade soils are subject to loss in support value with increase in their moisture content.
Recommendat io ns for lime treated and compacted pavement subgrades are presented in the
following report sections .
Based on the results oflime-PI series tests, the subgrade performance of the on-site clay soils can
be improved by stabilization with hydrated lime . For budgeting purposes, 6 percent hydrated lime
by dry weigbt (27 pounds per square yard for a thickness of 6 inches) can be used . Once the
subgrade is rough graded laboratory tests should be performed to determine the optimum lime
content.
1. Remove existing asphalt pavement and/or any undesirable materials should be removed
from the construction area . Removal of such material should extend 12 inches beyond
pavement edges .
2 . In both cut and fill areas, the exposed subgrade should be proofrolled to detect any areas
of weakness . The exposed sub grade should be proofrolled in accordance with the Texas
Department of Transpo11ation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways,
Streets and Bridges, 1993 Edition, Item 216, Proofrolling.
3 . Areas of weakness identified by the proofrolling operations should be undercut to firm soil
and compacted in lifts with maximum loose thickness of 8 inches as outlined in Item 4 .
The proofrolling operation should be observed by the geotechnical engineer or one of his
or her representatives .
4 . In fill areas , fill should be placed to the top of proposed subgrade elevation with a
maximum loose lift thickness of 8 inches using the excavated on-site soils or similar
imp ort ed materials . Fill should be compacted at three percent below the three percent
above the optimum moisture content to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry
density determined by ASTM D-698 .
5 . Where the exposed subgrade materials will be stabilized with lime, lime treatment of should
be accomplished in accordance with the applicable provisions of Item 260 of the Texas
High way Depa1tment Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways, Streets and
Geotd Engineering, Inc . Report No. E06-206
Page9
Danncnbaum Engineering Coq.1oration September 22, 2006
Bridges, 1993 Edition .
6. Approval of final lime mixing operations should be based on gradation tests with at least
60 percent on a dry weight basis of the stablized soil passing the No . 4 sieve at moisture
content near optimum.
7 . The lime stabilized soil or compacted sub grade should be compacted at three percent
belm:v to three percent above the optimum moisture content to a minimum of 95 percent
of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D-698 .
The moisture content and dry density of the lime stabilized or compacted subgrade should be
maintained until the paving is completed .
8.0 LIMlTA TIO NS
The professional services which have been performed, the findings obtained, and the
recommendations prepared were accomplished in accordance with currently accepted geotechnical
engineering p1)nciples and practices . The possibility always exists that the subsurface conditions
at the site may vary somewhat from those encountered in the bore holes. The number and spacing
of test borings were chosen in such a manner as to decrease the possibility of undiscovered abnor-
malities, while considering the nature of loading, size, and cost of the project. If there are any
unusual conditions differing significantly from those described herein, Geotel Engineering, Inc.
should be notified to review the effects on the performance of the recommended foundation
system.
The recommendations given in this report were prepared exclusively for the use of Dannenbaum
Engineering Corporation or their consultants. The information supplied herein is applicable only
for the design of the previously described development to be constructed at locations indicated at
this site and should not be used for any other structures, locations, or for any other purpose . This

Curb Storm Drain Inlet Protection
It is recommended to use the attached inlet protection. However, upon the approval of
the Project Manager, the contractor may use other types of inlet protection as outlined
in the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Construction BMP
Manual, excluding utilization of hay bales.
Installation and removal of all BMPs (silt fence, inlet protection , etc .) are subsidiary to
Item 645 -Geotextile Silt Fence, Item 771A -Erosion Control/SW3P, Item 1225A-
Inlet Protection for Existing Inlets , and Item l 225B -Inlet Protection for Proposed Inlets.
Field conditions will dictate the amount of BMPs needed.

DESCRIPTION
··:/
... ... /
A silt fence consists of geotextile fabric supported by poultry netting or other
backing stretched between either wooden or metal posts with the lower edge
of the fabric securely embedded in the soil. The fence is typically located
downstream of disturbed areas to inter.cept runoff in the fonn of sheet flow.
Silt fence provides both .filtration and time for sedimentation to reduce
sediment and it reduces the velocity of the runoff. Properly designed silt fence
is economical since it can be re-located during construction and re-used on
other projects.
PRIMARY USE
Silt fence · is nom,ally used as perimeter control located downstream of
disturbed areas. I t is only feasible for non-:eoncent:rated, sheet flow conditions.
APPLICATIONS
Silt fence is an economical means to treat overland, non-concentrated flows for
all types of projects . Silt fences are used as perimeter control devices for both
site developments and linear (roadway} type projects . They are most effective
with coarse to silty soil types. Due to the potential of clogging, silt fence should
not be used with day soil types .
In order to reduce the length of silt fence, it should l:?e placed adjacent to the
· down slope side of the construction activities .
DESIGN CRITERIA
O Fences are to be constructed along a line of constant elevation (along a
contour line) where possible.
0 Maximum slope adjacent to the fence is 1:1.
O Maximum distance of flow to silt fence should be 200 feet or less.
O . Maximum concentrated flow to silt fence shall be l CFS per 20 feet of
fence.
O U 50% or less of soil, by weight, passes the U.S. Standard sieve No.
200, select the equivalent opening size (E.0.S .} to retain 85% of the soil.
O Maximum equivalent'opening size shall be 70 (#70 sieve).
O Minimum equivalent opening size shall be 100 (#100 sieve}.
O If 85% or more of soil, by weight, passes the U.S . Standard sieve No.
200, silt fences shall not be used due to potential clogging.

Section 4 • Construction BMPs
Silt Fence
CJ 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.
Cl The ends of the fence shall be turned upstream to prevent bypass of stormwater.
LIMITATIONS
Minor pon~g will likely occur at the upstream side of the silt fence resulting in n:inor localized flooding.
fences which are constructed in swales or low areas subject to concentrated flow may be overtopped
resulting in failure of the filter fence . Silt fences subject to areas of concentrated flow (waterways with
flows > 1 ds) are not acceptable.
Silt fence can interfere with construction operations, therefore planning of access routes onto the site is
~tical. .
Silt fence can fail structurally under heavy storm flows, creating maintenance problems and reducing the
effectiveness of the system. •
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Inspections should be made on a weekly basis, especially after large storm events. If the fabric becomes
clogged, it should ~ deaned or if necessary, replaced.
Sediment should be removed when it reaches approximately one-half the height of the fence .

DESCRIPTION
A stabilized construction entrance consists of a pad consisting of gravel,
aushed stone, recycled concrete or other rod like material on top of geotextile
filter cloth to facilitate the wash down and removal of sediment and other
debris from construction equipment prior to exiting the construction site. For
added effectiveness, a wash rack area can be incorporated into the design to
further reduce sediment tracking. For long term projects, cattle guards or other
type of permanent nc:k system can be used in cQnjunction with a wash rack.
Tilis directly addres~ the problem of silt and mud deposition in roadways
used for construction site access .
PRIMARY USE
Stabilized construction entrances are used primarily for sites in which
significant truck traffic occun on a daily basis. It reduces the need to remove
sediment from streets. If used properly, it also directs the majority of traffic to
a single location, reducing the number and quantity of disturbed areas on the
site and providing protection for other structural controls through traffic
control ·
APPLICATIONS
Stabilized constru<:tton entrances are a required part of the erosion control plan
for all site developments larger than 5 acres and a recommended practice for
all construction sites. It is not suitable for long, linear projects. Jf possible, small
entrances should be incorporated into small lot construction due to the large
percentage of disturbed area on the site and the high potential . for offsite
tracking of silt and :cnud. ·
DESIGN CRITERIA
O Stabilized construction entrances are to be constructed such that
drainage across the entran~ is directed to a controlled, stabilized outlet
on site with provisions for storage proper .filtration and removal of
wash water.
O The entrance must be properly graded so that storm water is not
allowed to leave the site and enter roadways.
O Minimum width of entrance shall be 15 feet, but in no case shall the
width be less than that of the entry way to be used.
0 Minimum depth of entrance shall be 8 inches for the entire length of
the control.

Selection of the construction entrance location is aitical in that to be effective, it must be used exclusively.
Stabilized entrances are rather expensive considering that it must be installed in combination witn one or
more other sediment control techniques, but it may be cost effective compared to labor intensive street
cleaning.
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Inspections should be made on a regular basis and after large storm events in order to ascertain· whether or
not sediment and pollution are being effectively detained on site.
When sediment has substantially clogged the void area between the rocks, the aggregate mat must be
washed down or replaced.
Periodic: re-grading and top dressing with additional stone must be done to keep the efficiency of the ·

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) day s
before construction activity begins .
2. Effective Date of Waiver

Page 16
TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000
3. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period
Section G.
1.
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.
Alternative TPDES Permit Coverage
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
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
3.
Section H.
TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000
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).
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 ofBMPs 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
1.
2.
Section B.
1.
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
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.
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.
Responsibilities of Operators
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 BMPs 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 .

2. Operators with Day-to-Day Operational Control
Section C.
1.
Section D.
1.
2.
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).
Deadlines for SWP3 Preparation and Compliance
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 ofresponsibility, and changes in best management practices; and
( d) prepared so that it provides for compliance with the terms and conditions of
this general permit.
Plan Review and Making Plans Available
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.
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
3.
Section E.
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.
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
require that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction
site.
Keeping Plans Current
The permittee must revise or update the storm water pollution prevention plan whenever:
1.
2.
Section F.
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
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.
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 :

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
on-site to the extent practicable with consideration for local
Page 22
TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000
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.l of this general permit:

(b) the dates when construction activities temporaril y 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.
(b) 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.
(c) In arid areas (areas with an average rainfall ofO 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 arid 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 sedim ents 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 ar eas other
than construction (including storm water discharges from dedicated asphalt
plants and dedicated concrete plants), and a description of control s and
measure s that will be implemented at those sites to minimize po llutant
di scharges.
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 of0.5 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 arid periods in arid areas (areas
with an average annual rainfall of Oto IO 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 of0.5 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 si t e;
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

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 •1 for each annual
Page 28
TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000
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 31st 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 31st 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 II.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)
§122.4l(i). The statement in Texas Water Code§ 26.014 that commission entry ofa 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 an y sections in a permit issued under
CW A, § 402 , or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under
CWA, §§ 402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8);
b. knowingly making 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 Jetter .
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).
