Any other surplus material shall be disposed of as "waste" as specified in Section 02200. All such cost for removal shall be considered as incorporated into Earthwork costs C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise indicated on the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six inches (6 ") below required sub grade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans. 3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT A . Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed in unclassified excavation and /or imported fill. The construction of embankment includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing, conditioning, and compaction of fill material. B . General : Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading plan. Embankments shall be con structed to correspond to the general shape of the typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its finished section and grade until the project is accepted. C. Preparation : Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to be placed. The subgrade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should be reworked. Proofrolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller, loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment weighing approximately twenty five (25) tons except as otherwise specified for tree protection and areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by approved methods before commencing embankment construction . The surface of the ground , including plowed , loosened ground , or surfaces roughened by small washes or otherwise, shall be restored to approximatel y its original slope by blading or other methods , and , where indicated on the plans or required by the Owner, the ground surface, thus prepared , shall be compacted by s prinkling and rolling. EA RT HWORK 023 00 -4 - D . Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other than rock , shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six (6") inches to provide a bond between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement, the loosened material shall be adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to the density specified herein for fill. E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes greater than 4: 1, the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two feet (2 ') normal to the slope shall be removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm foundation free of loose or disturbed material. F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts , evenly spread , not to exceed eight (8 ") inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless otherwise permitted , each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times. G. Watering: At the time of compaction , the moisture content of fill material shall be such that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard , and unyielding. Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction. H . Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or sheepsfoot rollers , pneumatic tire rollers , or other mechanical means acceptable to the Owner. Hand-directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors. I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper densities for their respective functions . All embankment serves in one capacity or another as subgrade (e.g., under topsoil , under concrete and asphalt pavement, under structures, etc.). Accordingly, the upper layer of embankment shall be graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade elevation prior to depositing topso i I, and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc. 3.05 DENSITY CONTROL A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus four percent (4%) or minus two percent (2%) percentage points of optimum moisture content. B . Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top six (6 ") inches of natural earth comprising the subgrade for st ructural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be ninet y five percent (95%) to ninety eight percent (98%) of Standard Density ASTM EARTHWORK 02300 -5 - 0698 with the moisture content at minus two percent (2%) to plus four percent (4%) of optimum moisture content. 3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all embankments that are to function as subgrade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select embankment. After completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of two percent (2%) below optimum in the top twelve inches (12 ") of the fill will require that the top twelve inches (12 ") of the embankment be scarified, wetted, and recompacted prior to placement of the structure, select fill or pavement. If desired , the Contractor may place an asphalt membrane of emulsified or cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus eliminate the sprinkling requirement. 3.08 TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT: Topsoil shall be carefully placed to avoid any displacement or damage to the sub grade. If any of the sub grade is rutted , damaged or displaced it shall be restored prior to placing topsoil. Topsoil shall be replaced as specified herein per Item 3.02.

This law provides that, in order to be 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.

(Attached) 02/09/20 10 SC-52 PART D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-66 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. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, 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 disposal 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.

Ridge Terrace and Medina Avenue Between West Fuller Avenue and Westcrcck Fort Worth, Texas AD DULA Report No. HI 00958 Submitted herein is th e recommended pavement section for the proposed residential street s referenced above in Fort Worth , Texas. This study was authorized by Mr. Clayton Redinger on August 23, 2010 and perfon11ed in accordance with AD DULA Proposal No. 25742 dat ed October 1, 2 010. The purpose of this study is to develop pavement sections for the reconstruction of existing asphalt streets in accordance with the City of Fort Worth Transportation & Public Works Department Pavement Design Standards Manual 2005 and the Pavement Design Manual (Preliminary Draft July 2010). The current study area for S. Ridge Terrace Road and Medina Avenue are as follows: S. Ridge Terrace -From West Fuller Avenue and extends south to a distance of about 435 ft Medina A venue -From S. Ridge Terrace and extends east to a distance of about 3 70 ft. Field Investigation and Laboratory Testing S. Ridge Terrace and Medina A venue within the existing study area are existing asphalt streets. A total of three (3) test borings were performed along the streets in general accordance with ASTM D 420 to a depth of 10 fl using standard rotary drilling equipment. The approximate location of each test boring is shown on the Boring Location Plan, Figure I, enclosed in the Appendix of this report. Based on available surface geology maps, the study area lies within the Pawpaw, Weno Limestone and Denton Clay Formation (undivided) near Grayson Marl and Main Street Formation. The undivided Pawpaw/Wenoillenton Clay generally consists of limestone, clay shale, and/or shale . Residual soils generally consist of highly plastic clays and shaly clays. These residual soils typically have high seasonal shrink-swell potential with changes in soil moisture content. Grayson Marl and Main Street Formation consists of variable thicknesses of moderate to high plasticity clay soils over the limestone and/or shale associated with this Formation. Subsurface materials at the borings consist generally of clay, sandy/silty clay and/or limestone. At Boring 1, clay soil was encountered to a depth of about 6 ft underlain by tan limestone. ADDULA Report No. Hl00958 ......... _ ......... -............... -...... -.. ---···-.............. --------------.-................. _ ... _____ ..................... _ .. _·····-····-·-·---............... . At Boring 2, sandy cl ay fill material was noted to a depth of about 7 ft und erlain by tan lim estone to a depth of about 8 ft and followed by gray limeston e to th e boring tcnnination depth of abou t 10 ft. At Boring 3, clay fill was noted to a depth of abo ut 6 ft und er lain by s ilt y clay. Limestone wa s not encountered within the 10-ft maximum depth explored in Boring 3. Exis tin g aspha lt pavement thickness at Borings 2 and 3 was about 5 in ches and 3in ches, respect ive ly. In addition , about 4 inche s of base material was not ed in Boring 3 under the asp halt pavement. Groundwater was not encountered at the boring location s during drilling and th e boreholes appeare d to be dry immediatel y after completion of drilling operations. More detailed stratigraphic information is presented on the Log of Borin g Sheets a lta che d to thi s report. In addition to conventional laboratory testing to assess eng ineering properties of th e soi ls, a bulk sa mple was obtained from the vicinity of Boring l for moisture-density relationship (standard Proctor), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and fon e series tests . Results of th e standard Proctor , CBR and lime series tes ts are attached to thi s report. Engineering Analysis Calculations used to determine the required pavement thickness are based only on the physical , and engineering properties of the materials and conventional thickness deterrnination procedures. Related civil design factors such as subgrade drainage, shoulder support, cross-sect ional configurations, surfac e elevations, joint design and environmental factors will significantly affect the service life and must be included in preparation of the construction drawings and spec ifications, but were not included in the scope of this study. Norm al periodic maintenance will be required for all pavement to achieve the design life of the pavement system. According to th e current available information, the proposed streets are clas sified as Res id en tial Urban . The reconstructed streets will consist of Portland-cement concrete (PCC). Pavement Subgradc Based on the current available information , the existing street levels will be maintained and final grades for the new PCC pavement will be similar to the existing street levels. Based on the borings, the exposed pavement subgrade material along the proposed streets will consist of either clay and/or sandy clay soils . It is expected the existing fill material encountered in the borings was placed in accordance with applicable standards during the construction of existing streets. Following removal of the existing asphalt pavement, it is our recommendation the exposed subgrade be proof-rolled with heavy equipment ( l 0-ton minimum total weight) and further tested by probing as necessary. After proof-rolling and testing , any weak or unsuitable soils noted should be removed. The exposed subgrade should then be scarified to a depth of at least 6 inches and re-compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698) and within the range of O to 4 percentage points above the material's optimum moisture content. A qualified Geotechnical Engineer should be retained to provide subgrade monitoring and testing during construction . 2 AD DULA Report No. H 100958 Following subgrade preparation as recommended above and after final subgrade elevation is achieved, the exposed surface of the pavement subgrade soil should be scarified to a depth of 6 inches and mixed with a minimum 4 percent hydrated lime (by dry soil weight) in conformance with TxDOT Item 260. Using an in-p lace dry unit weight of 109 pcf (see Standard Proctor test results, Figure 3, attached) for the pavement subgrade soils, this percentage of lim e equates to about 20 lbs of lime per sq yard of treated area. However, due to the minimum City of Fort Worth standards, at least 30 lbs of lime per sq yard of tr eated area is required . The results of the lime series test performed on a sample of bulk clay obtained from the project site is a ttached to this report (Figure 2). l . It is recommended lime stabilization procedure s extend at least I ft beyond th e edge of the pavement to reduce effects of seasonal shrinking and swelling upon the ext reme edges of pavement. The soil-lime mixture should be compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698) and within the range of 0 to 4 percentage points above the mixture's optimum moisture content. In al l areas where hydrated lime is used to stabilize subgrade soil, routine Atterberg -limit tests should be performed to verify the resulting plasticity index of the so il-lime mixture is at/or below 15. Mechanical lime sta bilization of the pavement subgradc soil will not prevent normal seasonal movement of the underlying untreated materials. Based on the existing subsurface conditions, we estimate pavement movement could range from about 2 to 3 inches. Therefore, good perimeter surface drainage away from the pavement is recommended. The use of sand or aggregate base as a leveling course below pavement supported on expansive clayey soils should be avoided. Normal maintenance of pavement should be expected over the life of the structures. A laboratory Ca liforni a Bearing Ratio (CBR) test was performed for this specific project on a bulk sample of recompacted raw clay obtained from the site (see Figure 3, Moisture Density Relationship). The test results indicate the CBR value for the raw clay soil tested is about 4. Following improvement with lime, the CBR value for the lime stabi li zed clay/sandy clay soils is expected to be about 12. Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Section Using the 1993 AASHTO pavement design procedures (WinPAS computer progran1 distributed by American Concrete Pavement Association), the following design parameters were used in analyses of the PCC pavement section. A printout of the WinPas input and design thickness are included with the report as Figure 4. 3 ADDULA Report No. HJ 00958 Compressive strength of concrete Modulus of Elasticity Modulus of Rupture Modulus of Subgrade Reaction Load Transfe r Coefficient Drainage Coenicient Initial PSI Terminal PSI Standard Deviation Reliability 3,600 psi at 28 days 4,000,000 psi 620 psi 260 pci (lime stabilized calcareous cl ay sub grad e) 3 1.0 4.5 2 0.39 85 percent According to Table 4.1 -Minimum Design Traffic and Desig n Life for Pav ements (City of Fort Worth -Pavement Design Standards Manual 200 5), th e project ed traffic volum e for th e proposed streets classified as residential urban is on the order of 87 5,000 Equival ent Sin gle-Axle Loads (ESAL) over the 25 year design li fe. This ESAL value is a total numbe r and doe s not include any reduction factors for lane or directional distribution. Based on the projected traffic volume as outlin ed above and considering the abov e referenced design parameters; the following PCC pavement section would be required.

The concrete should be p lac ed over a lime-stabilized clay/sandy clay subgrade as recommended in the Pavement Subgrade section of this report, above. Concrete should be designed with 5 ± 1 percent entrained air. Joints in concrete paving should not exceed 15 ft . Reinforcing steel for concrete pavement cou ld consist of No. 3 bars at 24 inches on center in each direction. Drainage and Special Considerations Routine maintenance, incfuding sealing of cracks and joints shou ld be perfom1ed over the li fe of the pavement. Adequate drainage should be provided to reduce seasonal variations in moisture content of subgrade soils. Maintaining positive surface drainage throughout the life of the pavement is essential. Soluble Sulfates A soluble sulfate test was performed in the laboratory (TxDOT Test Method TEX-145 -E Part II) on the clay soils encountered in Boring l. The sulfate content of the clay sample tested is 146 mg/Kg (ppm). Based on the result of laboratory testing, the soluble sulfate content measured in the sample tested is considered relatively low (<2,000 ppm).

During con struction ex peri ence d geo tec hnic al personnel should make close observatio ns for p oss ibl e s ulfate rea ct ion s. Site Preparation and Grading All areas supporting the pavement and ar eas lo receive new fill should be prop erl y prep ared. After completion of the neces sary stripping , cl earin g, and excavating and prior to pl aci ng any required fill, the exposed soil subgradc should be carefully evaluated by probing and tes tin g. Any undesirable material (organic mat erial, wet , soft, or loose soil) still in pla ce should be remov ed . The exposed soil subgrad e should be furth er ev aluated by pro of-rollin g with a hea vy pneumatic tired roller, loaded dum p truck or similar equipment wei ghin g appro ximately JO tons and further tested by probing as neces sa ry . Proof-rolling pro c edure s should be o bse rved routinely by a qualified Geotcchnical Engineer or his designated repres entative. Any undesirable material (organic material , wet, soft, or loose soil) exposed during the proofroll should be removed and replaced with well-compacted material as outlined in the Fill Compaction section of this repo1t, below. Prior to placement of any fill, the exposed soil subgrade should then be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches and recompacted as outlined below. Slope stability analysis of embankments (natural or constructed) was not within the scope of this study. All excavations should be braced or cut at stable slopes in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. If fill is to be placed on existing slopes (natural or constructed) steeper than six horizontal to one vertical (6: 1 ), the fill materials should be benched into the existing slopes in such a manner as to provide a minimum bench width of five (5) ft . This should provide a good contact between the existing soils and new fill materials, reduce potential sliding planes, and allow relatively horizontal lift placements. Fill Compaction Sandy and silty clay materials with a plasticity index below 25 should be compacted to a dry density of at · least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698) and within the range of l percentage point below to 3 percentage points above the material's optimum moisture content. Clay soils with a plasticity index equal to or greater than 25 should be compacted to a dry density between 93 and 98 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). 5 AD DULA Report No .HI 009 58 The compacted moisture content of the clays during p lacement shou ld be within th e range of 2 t o 6 percentage po int s above optimum. Clayey materials used as fill should be processed and the largest particle or clod should be less th an 6 inch es prior to compaction. In cases where ei ther mass fills or uti li ty lines are more than 10 ft deep, the fi ll /backfi l I below IO ft should be compacted to at leas t I 00 perc ent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) and within 2 percentage points of the material's opt imum moisture content. The portion of the fill/backfill sha ll ower than 10 ft sho uld be compacted as outlined above . Compacti on shou ld be accomp li shed by placing fill in abo ut 8-inch th ick loose li fts and compacting each li ft to at least the specified minimum dry density . Fie ld density and moisture content test s should be performed on each lift. As a gu id e, one te st per 2,00 0 sq ft per li ft is recomm end ed . Utility trench backfill sho uld be tested at a rate of one test per lift per each 300 lineal feet of tr ench.

J. STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION CODES The major construction activities associated with development of this project have the Standard Industrial Classification codes listed below. 1629 Heavy Construction (Earth moving and drainage construction) 1623 Water, Sewer and Miscellaneous Underground Utility Construction 1611 Street Construction K. SEDIMENTATION BASINS A sedimentation basin is required , where feasible, for a common drainage location that serves an area with ten (10) or more acres disturbed at one time. A sedimentation basin may be temporary or permanent, and must provide sufficient storage to contain a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each disturbed acre drained. 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 permanent stabilization, if these flows are diverted around both the disturbed areas of the site and the sediment basin. Capacity calculations shall be included in the SWP3. This site does not require a sedimentation basin. 3 . CONTROLS FOR EACH MAJOR ACTIVITY A. Th e erosion control plan contained in both the construction plahs and Appendix A shows the types and locations of Best Management Practices (BMP 's) that are required for this project. In accordance with Part 111 , Section F.2 of the General Permit, the following is a description for each item listed as a major activity under Item 2 of the SITE DESCRIPTION . 151 Major Activity : Removal of existing driving surfaces Pot e ntial pollutant sources : Sediment , human waste , trash , fuel BMP 's to be Installed: Rock construction entrances Temporary restroom(s) Garbage & waste containment Wire backed filter fabric Secondary containment for fuel storage (if on-site) General timing (or sequence) for implementation : Prior to beginning any activity which disturbs stabilized soils the operator shall place on - s ite temporary restroom facilities and garbage containment devices. These controls shall be placed so that they are readily available to workers. Placement locations of the se controls shall be noted on the construction plan drawings in Appendix 4 of this manual. Rock construction entrances shall be placed at both ends of the project where vehicles pass thru the site . It should be noted that a smaller diameter rock should be useid to prevent damage to vehicles driving thru the area . Additional construction entrances should be installed at inte rsections where vehicles may exit the construction area. Wire backed filter fabric should be used in areas where runoff flows away from the construction areas and onto private properties or into storm drain systems. Loca 'ions where filter fabric is installed shall be noted on the construction plan drawings located in Appendix 4 of this manual. Secondary containment systems shall be in place in the event that fuel is stored on--site. Spills shall be cleaned up promptly and contaminated soils disposed of properly. Locations of containment systems shall be noted on the construction plan drawinus in Appendix 4 of this manual. Permittee(s) responsible for implementation:-------------- 2nd Major Activity: Construction of new water & sanitary sewer systems Potential pollutant sources: Sediment, human waste, trash, fuel, cement BMP's to be Installed: Rock construction entrances Temporary restroom(s) Garbage & waste containment Wire backed filter fabric Secondary containment for fuel storage (if on-site) Material storage area(s) Storm drain inlet protection General timing (or sequence) for implementation : Controls installed in the 1 s t Major Activity shall remain in place during the 2 nd Major Activity. Material storage areas shall be noted on the construction plan drawings in appendix 4 of this manual.

Lime or cement stabilization materials shall be contained within the construction area . If necessary, small receiving "ponds" may be constructed to trap liquids . Rock construction entrances may be removed as paving nears their location. Streets shall be kept clean by sweeping on an "as needed" basis. Areas where no further construction activities are to be conducted should be graded and final stabilization measures in accordance with the construction contract should be installed. Permittee(s) responsible for implementation: ---------------- 4th Major Activity: Final grading and final soil stabilization Potential pollutant sources: Sediment, human waste, trash BMP's to be Installed: Temporary restroom(s) Garbage & waste containment Stage 2 storm drain inlet protection Street sweeping General ti m ing (or se qu ence) for implementation : Areas not graded and stabilized at the end of the 3rd Major Activity shall be graded and final stabilization measures consisting of seeding and placement of sod shall be installed . Permittee(s) responsible for implem entation: _______________ _ B. EROS ION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS a. Short and Long Term Goals and Criteria : The intent of this SWPPP is to provide a plan to minimize the discharge of sediment and non-storm water materials from this construction site. The Operator with day -to -day operational control over this site shall ensure : 1) The construction-phase erosion and sediment controls should retain sed im ent on -sit e to the ext e nt practicable. 2) All control measures must be installed , and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and good engineering pract ices . If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used inappropriately or incorrectly, the operator with day-to-day operational control must replace or modify the control for site situations . 3) If sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment must be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impacts . 4) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps or sedimentation ponds when design capacity has been reduced by 50%. 5) Litter, construction debris, and construction chemicals exposed to storm water shall be prevented from becoming a pollutant source for storm water discharges (e .g ., screening outfalls, pickup daily). C. MAINTENANCE OF CONTROLS All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified in the SWPPP must be maintained in effective operating condition . If site inspections required by Part IV.D.4 identify BMP's that are not operating effectively, maintenance shall 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. D. OFF-SITE MATERIAL STORAGE AREAS Off-site material storage areas (also including overburden and stockpiles of dirt, borrow areas, etc.) used solely by the permitted project are considered a part of the project and the operator with day-to -day operational control shall complete the following information concerning these areas: • Location Material is stored • Material being sto red • Controls implemented to minimi ze discharges of material from storm water runoff There are currently no offsite material storage areas proposed for this project. Should offsite material storage areas be requir ed, additional measures to prevent discharge of potential pollutants will be added to this SWPPP . E. STABILIZATION PRACTIC ES (INT E RIM AND P E RMANENT) Both interim and permanent stabilization practices will be required at this project. The operator with day -to -day operational control over the site shall take measu res to minimize the areas disturbed by construction activities , thereby utilizing existing vegetative cover to the extent possible . Those areas which must be disturbed by construction activities shall be stabilized as soon as practicable after construction activities temporarily or permanently cease in each area . Except for the conditions listed below, stabilization of disturbed areas where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased shall occur in no case longer than 14 days from the date the construction activities temporarily or permanently cease . The following exceptions to the 14 day deadl ine apply : 1) Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after construction activity temporarily or permanently cease is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground conditions , stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable . 2) Where construction activity on a portion of the site is temporarily ceased and earth disturbing activities will be resumed within 21 days , temporary stabilization measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of the site. 3) In arid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of O to 10 inches), semi-arid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 20 inches), and areas experiencing droughts where the initiation of stabilizing measures by the 141h day after construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by seasonal arid conditions , stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable . Permanent stabilization at this site shall be accomplished by the following means: Te m po rar y a nd Per manent See ding (refe r t o Ap pe ndix E for s pecific ation s ) Th e following ar e vegetativ e techniques to be used as sediment and e rosion controls for this site. Nativ e Grass/ Seed Description of use (application . schedule: rate , . maintenance.--schedule /· . . ' .. Existing vegetation will remain on the develo ed site until construction be ins Gra ss strips or sod/ g ravel/ nativ e ve etation Disturbed areas will be covered in grass or sod once construction is completed ; or in desert areas , ravel and/ or native ve etation T emporary Stabili zation F . STR UCTURAL PRACTICES Where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased , the area will be stabili zed within 14 days unless disturbing activities will resum e within 21 da s. T he SWPP P includes a description of structural practices to divert flows from expos ed soils , store flows or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from expo se d area s of the site to the degree attainable. Placement of structural practices in floodplains should be avoided to the degree attainable . Installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The erosion control plan contained in the construction plans shows the proposed minimum st ructural controls to be implemented in accordance with th is SWPPP . The plan shows the nature and location of each structural control. G. POST CONSTRUCTION CONTROLS In addition to the temporary controls, several permanent controls will be constructed as a part of this project to provide permanent stabilization and st orm water management. T hese controls are listed below: Infiltration of runoff onsite Permanent vegetation Storm drain system Sequential systems (combination of several ractices Vegetated grass and landscaped areas provide for increased infiltration on the sit reduce runoff from the site once construction has been ceased Permanent vegetation will be accomplished by seeding the finished area site with a mixture of erennial rass seed. A curb and gutter storm drain system and/ or drainage ditch discharge system is installed. The storm water is col lected in the street and channeled to either the curb inlet or drainage ditch s stem . All of the Post construction controls listed form a sequential system which works together to reduce storm water ollution revention . H. OTHER CONTROLS a. No solid materials, including building materials , shall be discharged to waters of the United States , except as authorized by a permit issued under Section 404 of he CWA. All solid waste materials, including disposable materials incidental to the major construction activities , must be kept in containers. The containers must be emptied periodically and hauled to a landfill. Each contractor is responsible for their own trash . c. Substances that have the potential for polluting surface and/ or groundwater must be controlled by whatever means necessary in order to ensure that they do not discharge from the site . (It is the responsibility of each contractor to make sure pollutant discharge is avoided.) As an example , special care must be exercised during equipment fueling and servicing operations . If a spill occurs, it must be contained and disposed of so that it will not flow from the site or soak into the soil. In this regard, potentially polluting substances must be handled in a manner consistent with the impact they represent. I. CONSTRUCTION AND WASTE MATERIALS STORED ONSITE The Operator with day -to -day operational control of the site shall list below any sources of potential pollution at this site which do not originate from construction activit ies (e.g., dedicated asphalt or concrete batch plants). In addition , for each listed potential source, a description of the appropriate controls and measures that will be implemented at this site to minimize pollutant discharges should be listed below. The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials expected to be stored on-site and a description of controls to minimize pollutants from these materials . A log for listing materials stored onsite is located in Appendix 9. No dedicated asphalt or concrete batch plants are proposed for this project. If an asphalt or concrete batch plan used measures will be added to minimize potential pollution sources and added to this SWPPP/ Trash Container onsite (receptacle and/or dum ster Daily site cleanup procedures im lemented Waste collection Concrete washout area(s) 'if,'in!Jlf!{}£-': '1fiili!/'' 'a< ~· ., ·t~ .

PERMAN E NT CONT ROLS INSTALLE D DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS A description of any measures that will be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in storm water discharges that may occur after construction operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3 . Permittees a re only responsibl e for the installation and maintenance of storm water management measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT. Log for recording permanent controls is located in Appendix 9. K. CONCRETE TRUCK WASH OUT REQUIREMENTS This general permit authorizes the wash out of concrete trucks at construction sites regulated under Sections 11.E .1., 2 ., and 3 . of this general permit, prov ided the following requirements are met. Authorization is limited to the land disposal of wash out water from concrete trucks that are associated with off-site production facilit ies . Wash out water associated w ith on-site concrete production facilities must be authorized under a separate TCEQ general permit or individual permit. 1. Direct discharge of concrete truck wash out water to surface water in the state , including discharge to storm sewers , is prohibited by this general permit. 2. Concrete truck wash out water shall be discha rged to areas at the construction site where structural controls have been established to prevent direct discharge to surface waters , or to areas that have a minimal slope that allow infiltration and filtering of wash out water to prevent direct discharge to surface waters. Structural controls may consist of temporary berms , temporary shallow pits , temporary storage tanks with slow rate release , or other reasonable measures to prevent runoff from the construction site . 3. Wash out of concrete trucks during rainfall events shall be minimized. The direct discharge of concrete truck wash out water is prohibited at all times , and the operator shall insure that its BMPs are sufficient to prevent the discharge of concrete truck washout as the result of rain. 4. The discharge of wash out water shall not cause or contribute to groundwater contamination . 5 . If a SWP3 is required to be implemented , the SWP3 shall include concrete wash out areas on the associated map. 4. INSPECTIONS Qualified person·nel (provided by the permittee or cooperatively by multiple permittees) 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, structural control measures, and locations where vehicles enter or exit the site . Inspections are required every 14 days and within 24 hours after the end of a 0 .5 inch rainfall event, or once every 7 days (see Part 111.F.8 .a). Exceptions to the above inspection schedules are for the cities of Austin, Burleson, Carrollton, Cedar Hill, Garland , Irving and Plano which require inspections to be conducted at least weekly AND within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of 0 .5 inches or greater. "Qualified personnel" means a person knowledgeable in the principles and practice of erosion and sediment controls and who possesses the skills to access conditions at the site that could impact storm water quality and the effectiveness of the BM P's sel ected to control the quality of the storm water discharges. Based on observations made during these inspections, this SWPPP must be updated as needed . If additional BM P's are required, their locations and type must be shown on the erosion control plan . These changes can be made by hand (e .g ., red pencil), but they must be made to keep the SWPPP current. These changes must be made within seven calendar days following the inspection . Each inspection report must be signed and certified in accordance with Part 111.F.8. These inspection reports must be kept in the SWPPP . The SWPPP and all reports must be kept for a period of three years after the date of final stabilization of the site in accordance with Part V of the General Permit. Inspection reports shall be maintained in Appendix 7 of this manual 5. NO N-ST ORM WATER DISCHARGES All discharges authorized by this permit and covered by this SWPPP are composed entirely of storm water associated with construction activities or are an authorized Non- Storm Water Discharge The following non-storm water discharges are authorized under the General Permit Discharqes from fire fiqhtinq activities Only in case of an emerqency New hydrant installation includes flushing to ensure lines are clean and have no Fire hydrant flushing residual chlorine .

The fence is typically loc ated downstream of d istur bed areas to inte rcept runoff in th e form of sheet f low. A si lt fe nce provid es both filtration a nd time for sediment settling by reducing the velocity of the runoff. PRIMARY USE Silt fence is normally used as perim eter control located downstream of disturbed areas. It is only feasible for non -concentrated , sheet flow conditions . If it becomes necessary to place a silt fence wh ere concentrated flows may be experienced (e .g. where two silt fences join at an a ngle , or across minor channels or gullies), it will be nec es sary to reinforce the silt fence at that area by a rock berm or sand bag berm, or oth er structural measures th at will support the silt fence . APPLICATIONS Silt fence is an economical means to treat overlan d , no n-concent rate d flows for all types of projects . Silt fences are used as perimeter control devices for both site developers and linear (roadway) type projects. They are most effective with coarse to silty soil types . Due to the potent ia l of clogging and limited effectiveness , silt fences should be used with caution in areas that have predominantly clay soil types. In th is latter instance a soils engineer or soil scientist should confirm the suitability of silt fence for that application DESIGN CRITERIA 0 Fences are to be constructed along a line of constant elevation (along a contour line) where possible . D Maximum drainage area shall be 0 .25 acre per 100 linear feet of silt fence. D Maximum flow to any 2'0 foot section of silt fence shall be 1 CFS. 0 Maximum distance of flow to silt fence shall be 200 feet or less . If the slope exceeds 10 percent the flow distance shall be less than 50 feet. 0 Maximum slope adjacent to the fence shall be 2: 1. 0 If 50% or less soil , by weight , passes the U.S . Standard sieve No . 200 ; select the apparent opening size (A .0 .S .) to retain 85% of the soil. 0 If 85% or more of soil by weight, passes the U.S . Standard sieve No. 200, silt fences shall not be used unless the soil mass is evaluated and deemed suitable by a soil scientist or geotechn ical engineer concerning the erodiblity of the soil mass, dispersive characteristics, and the potential grain -si ze characteristics of the material that is likely to be eroded .

D Filter stone for overflow structure shall be 1-1/2 " washed stone conta ining no fines . Angular shaped stone is preferable to rounded shapes. D Silt fence fabric must meet the following minimum criteria: o Tensile Strength, ASTM 04632 Test Method for Grab Breaking Load and Elongation of Geote xtiles , 90-lbs . o Puncture Rating , ASTM 04833 Test Method for Index Puncture Resistance of Geote xtiles , Geomembranes , and Related Products, 60-lbs . o Mullen Burst Rating, ASTM 03786 Standard Test Method for Hydraulic Bursting Strength of Textile Fab rics -Diaphragm Bursting Strength Tester Method, 280-psi. o Apparent Opening Size , ASTM 04751 Test Method for Determining Apparent Opening Size of a Geotextile , U.S . Sieve No . 70 (max) to No. 100 (min) o Ultraviolet Resistance, ASTM 04355 . Minimum 70 percent. D Fence posts shall be galvanized steel and may be T-section or L-section, 1.3 pounds pe r linear foot minimum, and 4 feet in length minimum . 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 . D 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. D 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 . D 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 . D 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 toe-in 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.

Top Of Ston e, Each Sid e Of Silt Fence 4-35 4.44 December 2003 Inlet Protection DESIGN CRITERIA D 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 mainta ined to avoid flooding of the roadway or adjacent properties and structures. D Filter fabric protection shall be designed and maintained in a manner similar to silt fence . D Where applicable, filter fabric , posts , and wire backing shall meet the material requi rements specified in BMP Fact Sheet S-1, Silt Fence. D Filter gravel shall be % inch (Block and Gravel Protection) or 1-1/2 to 2 inch (Excavated lmpoundment Protection) washed stone containing no fines . Angular shaped stone is preferable to rounded shapes . D Concrete blocks shall be standard 8" x 8" x 16" concrete masonry un its . D Maximum depth of flow shall be eight (8) inches or less . D 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 . D 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. D 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 . W ' x Y:z " 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 . D Excavated lmpoundment 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. D 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. ISWM Design Manual for Construction 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 filte r stone , when the filter stone becomes clogged with sediment, the stones must be pulled away from the inlet and cl eaned or replaced .

The sediment trap detains runoff lo ng en ough to allow most of the suspended sediment to settle while sti ll allowing for diffused flow of runoff . PRIMARY USE A sediment trap is used in situations where flo ws are concentrated in a drainage swale or chann e l. The sedi m ent trap red uces velocit ie s and allows for settling of sediment while allowing the area behind the trap to de-water. T his is normally used fo r long te rm (18 months or less) applications in which a sediment basin is not feasi ble due to site or constru ction method restrictions . APPLICATIONS Temporary stone outlet sediment traps are installed at locations where concentrated flows require a protected outlet to contain sediment or sp read flow prio r to discharge . DESIGN CRITERIA o The maximum drainage area contributing to the trap shall be 10 acres . For larger drainage areas a sediment basin should be used . o T he minimum storage volume shall be 1800 cubic feet per acre of disturbed land draining to the device . o The surface area of the design storage area shall be 1 % of the area draining to the device . o The maximum embankment height shall be 6 feet as measured from the toe of the slope on the downstream side o Minimum width of the embankment at the top shall be 2 feet. o Embankment slope shall be 1.5 :1 or flatter. o The embankment shall have a depressed area to serve as the outlet with a m inimum width of 4 feet. o A six inch minimum thickness layer of% to 2 inch (1-Y:i inch nominal) well graded filter stone shall be placed on the face of the embankment. o The embankment shall be comprised of well graded stone with a size range of 6 to 12 inches in diameter. The stone may be enclosed in wire mesh or gabion basket and anchored to the channel bottom to prevent washing away. o The outlet shall be designed to have a m inimum freeboard of 6" at design flow.

They reduce the velocity of small concentrated .flows, provide a limited barrier for sediment and help disperse concen trated flows , reducing potential erosion . PRIMARY USE Check dams are used for long drainage swales or ditches to reduce erosive veloc ities . They are typically used in conjunction with other channel protection techniques such as vegetation lining and turf reinforcement mats . Check dams provide limited treatment to sediment-laden flows . They are more useful in reducing flow to acceptable levels fo r other techniques. APPLICATIONS Check dams are typically used early in construction in swales for long linear projects such as roadways . They can also be used in short swales with a steep slope to reduce unacceptable velocities . Check dams shall not be used in live stream channels DESIGN CRITERIA D Check dams should be placed at a distance and height to allow small pools to form between each one . Typically , dam height should be between 18" and 36". Dams should be spaced such that the top of the downstream dam should be at the same elevation as the toe of the upstream dam . D Major flows (greater than 2 year design storm) must pass the check dam without causing excessive upstream flooding . D Check dams should be used in conjunct ion with other sediment reduction techniques prior to releasing flow offsite . D Use geotextile filter fabric under check dams exceeding 18 inches in height. The fabric shall meet the material specified for the Stone Outlet Sediment Trap , S-5 . Rock Check Dams D Stone shall be well graded with size range from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches in diameter depending on expected flows. D Rock check dams should be triangular in cross section with side slopes of 1: 1 or flatter on the upstream side and 2: 1 or flatter on the downstream side .

This directly addresses the problem of silt a nd mud deposition in roadways used for construction si te access. Fo r added effectiv eness, a wash rack area can be incorporated into th e design to furth er reduce sediment tr acking (See Wheel Wash , Fact Sheet S- 10). PRIMARY US E Stabilized construction entrances are used primarily for sites in which significant truck traffic occurs 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 locat ion , reducing the number and quantity of disturbed areas on the site and providing protection for other structural controls through traffic control. APPLICATIONS Stabilized construction entrances are a required part of the erosion control plan for all site developments larger than one acre and a recommended practice for all construction sites . If possible , controlled 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 mud . DESIGN CRITERIA 0 Stabilized construction entrances are to be constructed such that drainage across the entrance is directed to a controlled , stabilized outlet on site with provisions for storage, proper filtration, and removal of wash water. 0 The entrance must be sloped away from the paved surface so that storm water is not allowed to leave the site onto roadways. 0 Minimum width of entrance shall be 15 feet. 0 Stone shall be placed in a layer of at least 12-inches thickness. The stone shall be a minimum of 3 to 5 inch coarse aggregate. 0 Prevent shortcutting of the full length of the construction ent rance by installing barriers as necessary .

To be effective, it must be used exclusively . Stabilized entrances are rather expensive considering that it must be installed in combination with one or more other sediment control techniques, but it may be cost effective compared to labor-intensive street cleaning . MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Construction entrances should be inspected regularly (at least as often as required by the TPDES Construction General Permit, Appendix A). 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 add itional stone must be done to keep the efficiency of the entrance from diminishing. If the stabilized construction entrance is not effectively removing sediment from wheels then a wheel wash should be considered .

There are several techniques and procedures to minimize the potential of storm water contamination from solid waste through appropriate storage and disposal practices. Recycling of construction debris also reduces the volume of material to be disposed of and associated costs . PRIMARY USE Debris and trash management should be a part of all construction practices . By limiting the trash and debris on site, storm water quality is improved along with reduced clean up requirements at the completion of the project. APPLICATIONS Solid waste management for construction sites is based on proper storage and disposal practices by construction workers and supervisors. Key elements of the program are education and modification of improper disposal habits . Cooperation and vigilance is required on the part of supervisors and workers to ensure that the recommendations and procedures are followed .

The objective of the chemical management is to minimize the potential of storm water contamination from construction chemicals through appropriate recognition, handling, storage, and disposal practices. It is not the intent of chemical management to supersede or replace normal site assessment and remediation procedures. Significant spills and/or contamination warrant immediate response by trained professionals . Suspected job-site contamination should be immediately reported to regulatory authorities and protective actions taken . Significant spills should be reported to the National Response Center (NRC) at (800) 424-8802. PRIMARY USE These management practices along with applicable OSHA and EPA guidelines should be incorporated at all construction sites that use or generate hazardous wastes. Many chemicals such as fuel, oil, grease, fertilizer, and pesticide are present at most construction sites. INSTALLATION, APPLICATION AND DISPOSAL CRITERIA The chemical management techniques presented here are based on proper recognition, handling, and disposal practices by construction workers and supervisors.

Demolition activities and potential pre-existing materials, such as lead and asbestos, are not addressed by this program . Site-specific information on plans is necessary. Contaminated soils are not addressed. 4-74 ISWM Design Manual for Construction December 2003 Concrete Waste Management DESCRIPTION Concrete waste at construction sites comes in two forms : 1) excess fresh concrete mix i ncluding truck and equipment washing, and 2) concrete dust and conc re te debris resulting from demolition . Both forms have the potential to impact water quality through storm water runoff contact with the waste. PRIMARY USE Concrete waste is present at most construction sites . This BMP should be utilized at sites in which concrete waste is present. APPLICATIONS A number of water quality parameters can be affected by introduction of concrete -especially fresh concrete. Concrete affects the pH of runoff, causing significa nt chemical changes in water bodies and harming aquatic life. Suspended solids in the form of both cement and aggregate dust are also generated from both fresh and demolished concrete waste . Una cceptable Waste Concrete Disposal Practices D Dumping in vacant areas on the job-site . D Illic it dumping off-jobsite. 0 Dumping into ditches or drainage fac ilities . Recommended Disposal Practices D Avoid unacceptable disposal practices listed above . D Develop pre-determined , safe concrete disposal areas. D Provide a washout area with a minimum of 6 cubic feet of containment area volume for every 10 cubic yards of concrete poured . 0 Never dump waste concrete illicitly or without property owner's knowledge and consent. D Overflow of washdown water shall be discharged in an area protected by one or more sediment removal BMPs and shall be done in a manner that does not result in a violation of groundwater or surface water quality standards . Education D Drivers and equipment operators should be instructed on proper disposal and equipment washing practices (see above). D Supervisors must be made aware of the potential environmental consequences of improperly handled concrete waste. Enforcement 0 The construction site manager or foreman must ensure that employees and pre-mix companies follow proper procedures for concrete disposal and equipment washing. D Employees violating disposal or equipment cleaning directives must be re- educated or disciplined if necessary . Demolition Practices D Monitor weather and wind direction to ensure concrete dust is not entering drainage structures and surface waters. D Where appropriate, construct sediment traps or other types of sediment detention devices downstream of demolition activities.

LIMITATIONS Concrete waste management is one part of a comprehensive construction site waste management program . 4-76 ISWM Design Manual for Construction December 2003 Concrete Sawcutting Waste Mana ement DESCRIPTION Sawcutting of concrete pavement is a routine practice , necessary to control shrinkage cracking immediately following placement of plastic concrete. It is also used to remove curb sections and pavement sections for pavement repairs , utility trenches, and driveways. Sawcutting for joints involves sawing a narrow , shallow groove in the concrete, while sawcutting for removals is usually done full depth through the slab. Water is used to control saw blade temperature and to flush the detritus from the sawed groove . The resulting slurry of process water and fine partic les and high pH must be properly managed. A number of wate r quality parameters can be affected by introduction of concrete fines. Concrete affects the pH of runoff, causing significant chemical changes in water bodies and harming aquatic life. Suspended solids in the fo rm of saw fines are also generated from sawcutting operations. DESIGN CRITERIA Slurry Collection 0 During saw cutt ing operations, the slurry and cuttings shall be continuously vacuumed to control the flow of water from the operat ions site . 0 The slurry and cuttings shall not be allowed to drain to the storm drain system, swale , stream or other water body . 0 The slurry and cuttings shall not be allowed to remain on the pavement to dry out. Slurry Disposal 0 Develop pre-determined, safe slurry disposal areas . 0 Collected slurry and cuttings shall be discharged in an area protected by one or more sediment removal BMPs and shall be done in a manner that does not result in a violation of groundwater or surface water quality standards. 0 Never dump waste illicitly or without property owner's knowledge and consent. 0 Slurry may be disposed of in facilities designated for washdown of concrete trucks (see M-3 , Concrete Waste Management). MAINTENANCE Project personnel should inspect the operations to assure that operators are diligent in controlling the water produced by the saw cutting activities . Following operations the pavement should be inspected to ensure that waste removal has been adequately performed.

Hydrated lime is applied to the so il and mixed through disking a nd other tec hniques , then allowed to cure. This pract ice w ill reduce the potential for runoff to carry lim e offs ite , where it may impact aquatic life by changing the pH balance of streams, ponds , and other water bodies. PRIMARY USE This BMP should be implemented when lime is requir ed for soil stabilizatio n. APPLICATIONS Lime stabilization can be used under a variety of conditions . The engineer should determine the applicability of lime stabili zat ion based on site conditions such as available open space, quantity of area to be stabilized , proximity of nearby water courses and other BMPs employed at the site . The use of diversion dikes and interceptor swales (see appropriate fact sheets) to dive rt runoff away from areas to be stabilized can be used in conjunction with these techniques to reduce the impact of the lime. DESIGN CRITERIA D The contractor shall limit lime operations to that which can be thoroughly mixed and compacted by the end of each workday . 0 No traffic other than water trucks and mixing equipment shall be allowed to pass over the spread lime until after completion of mixing. 0 Areas adjacent and downstream of stabilized areas sh.all be roughened to intercept lime from runoff and reduce runoff velocity . 0 Geotextile fabrics such as those used for silt fence should not be used to address lime since the grain size of lime is significantly smaller than the apparent opening size of the fabric. 0 For areas for which phasing of lime operations is impractical, use of a curing seal such as Liquid Asphalt, Grade MC-250 or MC-800 applied at a rate of 0.15 gallons per sq . yd . of surface can be used to protect the base . 0 Use of sediment basins with a significant (>36 hour) drawdown time is encouraged for large areas to be stabilized (see S-6, Sediment Basin). 0 Provide containment around lime storage, loading , and dispensing areas. LIMITATIONS Lime stabilization can be part of an overall plan to reduce pollutants from an active construction site . In the case of pollution due to lime, prevention of contamination is the only effective method to address this pollutant. Proper application and mixing along with avoiding appl ications when there is a significant probability of rain will reduce lime runoff.

Flow : ,ti December 2003 Vegetation , as a Best Management Practice, is the sowing or sodding of annual grasses , small grains , or legumes to provide int er im and permanent veg etati v e stabilization for disturbed areas . PRIMARY USE Vegetation is used as a temporary or perman ent stabilization technique fo r 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 . As a permanent control, grasses and other vegetation prov ide good protection from erosion along with some filtering for overland runoff. Subjected to acceptable runoff velocities , vegetation can provide a positive method of permanent storm water management as well as a visual amenity to the site . Other BMPs may be required to assist during the establishment of vegetation . These other techniques include eros ion control matting, swales , and dikes to direct flow around newly seeded areas and proper grading to limit ru noff velocities during construction . APPLICATIONS Vegetation effectively reduces erosion in swales , stockpiles, berms , mild to medium slopes, and along roadways. Vegetative strips can provide some protection when used as a perimeter control for utility and site development construction . In many cases, the initial cost of temporary seeding may be high compared to 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 inactive, since maintenance cost for vegetated areas is much less than most structural controls . DESIGN CRITERIA Surface Preparation D Interim or final grading must be completed prior to seeding or sodding . D Install all necessary erosion structures such as dikes, swales , diversions , etc . prior to seeding or sodding .

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 . D Seed bed should be well pulverized, loose and uniform. Plant Selection, Fertilization and Seeding 0 Use only high quality, USDA certified seed . 0 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 . 0 Seeding rate should be in accordance with the table below or as recommended by the NRCS or Engineering Extension service . D 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 ft2. D If hydro-seeding is used , do not mix seed and fertilizer more than 30 minutes before application . D Evenly apply seed using cyclone seeder , seed drill, cultipacker, terraseeding, or hydroseeder. 0 Provide adequate water to aid in establishment of vegetation. 0 Use appropriate mulching techniques where necessary, espec ially during cold periods of the year . Sodding 0 Sod shall be St. Augustine grass, common bermudagrass , buffalograss, an approved hybr id of common Bermudagrass or an approved zoysiagrass. D The sod should be mowed prior to sod cutting 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. 0 Sod shall be planted within 3-days after it is excavated . 0 In areas subject to direct sunlight, pre-moisten prepared sod bed by watering immediately prior to placing sod. D Sodded areas shall be thoroughly watered immediately after they are planted . ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE D 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 . 0 Where vegetation is used for perimeter control, the use of sod is necessary for a fifteen-foot width . D 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 . D 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. O 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 . 4-18 ISWM Design Manual for Constructlon December 2003 Vegetation RECOMM EN D ED GRASS MIXTURE FOR TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL: SEASON Aug 15 -Nov 30 May 1 -A uq 31 Feb 15-May 31 Sep 1 -Dec 31 PERMANENT VEGETATION COMMON NAME Ta ll Fescue Western Wh eat Grass Wheat (Red, Winte r) Foxtail M illet Annual Rye RATE (LBS/ACR E) 4 .0 5 .0 30.0 30 .0 20 .0 Grass seed for permanent vegetation can be sown at the same tim e as s eedi ng for temporary (annual) vegetat ion .

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 st rips , 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 sed iment deposited by runoff shou ld be removed to prevent smothering of the vegetation . In addition, determine the source of excess sediment and implement appropriate BMPs to control the erosion. ISWM Design Manual for Construction 4-19 - December 2003 Erosion Control Blankets DESCRIPTION E rosion Control Blanket An erosion control blanket (ECB) is a temporary degradable erosion prevention product placed over disturbed areas to limit the effects of erosio n due to rai nfall impact and runoff across barren soil. Erosion control blankets are manufactured by a wide variety of vendors addressing a w ide variety of conditions such as slope and functional longevity . Blankets are typically constructed of natural materials such as coir (coconut husk) fibers, excelsior (wood) or straw covered on both sides by degradable synthetic netting . PRIMARY USE Erosion control blankets are designed to hold seed and soil in place until vegetation is established on disturbed areas . They can be used on any disturbed areas , but are particularly effective for slopes and embankments . When used in combination with sed iment trapping BMPs such as silt fence or wattles , blankets may be used as a perimeter control with or without vegetat ion . DESIGN CRITERIA D The type and class of erosion control mat must be specified as appropriate for the slope of the area to be protected and the anticipated length of service . D ECBs should meet the applicable "Minimum Performance Standards for TxDOT" as published by TxDOT in its "Erosion Control Report" and/or be listed on the most current annual "Approved Products List for TxDOT" applicable to TxDOT Item 169 Soil Retention Blanket and its Special Provisions . D Prior to the installation of any erosion control matting, all rocks , dirt clods , stumps, roots, trash and any other obstructions that would prevent the mat from lying in direct contact with the soil shall be removed . Anchor trench ing shall be located along the entire perimeter of the installation area , except for small areas with less than 2% slope . 0 Installation and anchoring shall conform to the recommendations shown within the manufacturer's published literature for the approved erosion control blanket. Particular attention must be paid to joints and overlapping material. 0 After appropriate installation, the blankets should be checked for uniform contact with the soil; security of the lap joints, and flushness of the staples with the ground .

This Fact Sheet does not apply to alterations of natural channels. Contact th e local jurisdictio n and/or the Corps of Engineers , Fort Worth District Office f or information on regulatory requ irements . DESIGN CRITERIA Temporary Ch annel Design D All temporary channels shall be designed to carry the peak runoff for the 10-year design storm without eroding. Permanent channels must be designed in accordance with the iSWM Design Manual for Development/Redevelopment (and/or local requirements). D Channels may be trapezoidal , parabolic, or v-shaped; however v-shaped channels may be difficult to stabilize, so they are generally used only whe re the volume and rate of flow is low. D Side slopes shall be 3: 1 or flatter to aid in the establishment of vegetation and/or for maintenance .

D If the design velocity of a channel to be vegetated by seeding exceeds 2 feet per second, Erosion Control Blankets (Fact Sheet E-6) must be used to provide protection and assist in establishing the vegetation . D Refer to the Fact Sheet E-4, Vegetation, for appropriate vegetation types and information on establishment of vegetation . In addition , consult manufacturer's literature where erosion contro l blankets are used . Turf Reinforcement Mat Lining D Turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) provide long-term erosion protection in channels where flow conditions exceed the ability of vegetation alone to withstand erosive forces (grades in excess of 2 percent or velocities exceeding 6 feet per second). D Turf reinforcement mats may provide channel protection for conditions of up to approximately 8 lbs/ft 2 sheer stress . The appropriate TRM product must be selected in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications to meet the design flow conditions . D Turf reinforcement mats are generally preferred over stone stabilization . D TRM installation and anchoring shall conform to the recommendations shown within the manufacturer's published literature. D Refer to the Fact Sheet E-4, Vegetation, for appropriate vegetation types and information on establishment of vegetation . In addition , consult the TRM manufacturer's literature for special considerations. Crushed Stone and Riprap D As an alternate to turf reinforcement mats, a layer of crushed stone or rip-rap with appropriate size, gradation, and thickness depending on flow conditions may also be used for grades in excess of 2 percent or velocities exceeding 6 feet per second. D The size and gradation of the stone or riprap and thickness of the lining must be designed appropriately for the flow conditions to prevent the lining from washing away . D Riprap should be placed on a lining of geotextile fabric to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap . The geotextile must be keyed in at the top of the bank. LIMITATIONS The vegetation for grass-lined channels may be difficult to establish unless the seedbed is protected from high flows until the seed germinates and matures. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Channel protection measures should be inspected regularly (at least as often as required by the TPDES Construction General Permit, Appendix A) for signs of bare spots, erosion, or excessive sediment deposition. Bare spots or areas experiencing erosion should be repaired immediately by replacing lining material. Where excessive sediment is discovered, remove sediment and repair lining as necessary. In addition, determine the source of excess sediment and implement appropriate BMPs to control the erosion . While vegetation is being established for grass-lining and turf reinforcement mats , check frequently to ensure proper growing conditions and adequate coverage. Also, remove any accumulated sediment in the channel bottom frequently to prevent damage to the vegetation. SPECIFICATIONS No specification for construction of temporary channel protection is currently available in the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction -North Central Texas Council of Governments . 4-30 ISWM Design Manual for Construction December 2003 Dust Control DESCRIPTION Dust control includes those measures necessary to prevent wind transport of dust from disturbed soil surfaces onto roadways , dra in age ways , a nd surface wat ers. PRIMARY USE Dust control is applied in areas (including roadways) subject to surface and air movement to dust where on -s ite and off-site impacts to roadways, drainage ways, or surface waters are likely. DESIGN CRITERIA 0 Vegetate or mulch areas that will not receive vehicl e traffic. In areas where planting , mulching , or paving is impractical, apply gravel or landscaping rock. 0 Limit dust generation by clearing only those areas where immediate activity will take place, leaving the remaining area(s) in the original condition , if stable. Maintain the original cover as long as practicable. O Construct natural or artificial windbreaks or windscreens . These may be designed as enclos ures for small dust sources . 0 Sprinkle the site with water until dampened sufficiently to prevent dust and repeat as needed . Do not apply water in quantities to cause runoff . 0 Irrigation water can be used for dust control. Irrigation systems should be installed as a first step on sites where dust control is a concern.
