Sand & Gravel SMP

Facility Description

Bode’s Precast, Inc. is an existing facility located at 1861 East Pole Road in Whatcom County,

Washington. Current zoning at the site is classified as Rural 5A, and is designated Mineral Resource

Land in the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan. The property is surrounded by sand and gravel pits

to the east, south, and west. East Pole Road runs along the northern property boundary. Across the

road from the project site are single-family residential parcels. A vicinity map is included in Appendix A.

Primary industrial activity at the project site is manufacturing precast concrete products and concrete

batching. The site includes areas for production, office areas for administration to support these

activities, and areas for aggregate and product inventory storage. The office is located in a building just

south of the site entrance off East Pole Road. Generally, production of the precast concrete structures

takes place adjacent to the largest building in the southeast quadrant of the site. The batch plant is

located along the south property line south of the production area. Completed precast products are

stored around the site perimeter. A combination of existing gravel, concrete, and vegetation covers the

ground surfaces adjacent to the buildings and production area. Existing buildings and site features are

shown on the Site Map attached in Appendix B for reference.

Operating hours are typically weekdays eight to ten (8-10) hours a day during daylight hours. Process

equipment is powered by electricity or by gas or diesel generators; fuel storage tanks are located onsite

for vehicle fueling.

Site Drainage

Site topography is generally flat, with a slight slope to the south and southwest. Stormwater runoff from

the building roofs as well as gravel pavements infiltrates into the existing native soils. Any ponding

stormwater from driveway and truck loading and unloading areas northeast of Building D is collected in

catch basins and drainage piping and routed to an underground infiltration trench.

Concrete pavement covers a portion of the production area. Process water from the concrete production

area is captured within settling ponds and underground tanks for reuse onsite in the manufacturing of

precast concrete products.

Sand & Gravel SMP

Section 1. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) Bode’s Precast, Inc. does not actively mine any materials onsite. Typical operations do not

include earth moving activities other than the movement of aggregate from stockpiles for the

concrete batching plant operations. Specific erosion and sediment control Best Management

Practices (BMPs) recommended for the facility are described below. A schedule for installation

and/or maintenance of these BMPs is also discussed within this section.

Any proposed capital improvement projects that will disturb soils will be required to prepare a

construction Temporary ESCP prior to any earth moving activities. These would be developed

with the required permit documents.

A. Stabilization BMPs

1. Stabilize Soils

Much of the site consists of gravel parking and driveway areas. These gravel areas

shall be maintained as necessary to prevent mud puddles that occur due to normal wear

of the pavement surface. The Permittee should replace the gravel to match the existing

surfacing. For dust control, the Permittee should sprinkle or wet down gravel with water

as long as it does not result in a wastewater discharge.

Bare soils encountered on other areas of the site should be stabilized using one of the

following BMPs as soon as practicable:

Restoration of the area to existing stabilized surface

Installation of temporary or permanent pavement

Temporary or permanent seeding and/or mulch

Covering bare soils with plastic covering to prevent the erosion of bare soils

that come into contact with rainwater.

2. Preserve Natural Vegetation

Where feasible, the site owner shall preserve existing vegetation that exists along the

perimeter of the site. This includes the vegetated buffer along the northern property

lines adjacent to East Pole Road (State Route 544), along the west property line, and

along the south property line that slopes toward the offsite sand and gravel mine.


Sand & Gravel SMP

3. The site is very flat, and no cut or fill slopes are currently proposed. If proposed as part

of future projects, these should be designed to minimize erosion.

4. Provide stabilization at the outlets of all conveyance systems to prevent erosion.

Currently, there are no outlets that discharge to a surface water body or ditch located on

the site. Any stormwater piping is underground and outlets to existing tanks or infiltration

basins.

Proposed stormwater conveyance systems shall provide outlet stabilization.

Stabilization BMPs include quarry spalls at pipe outlets for stabilization.

B. Runoff Conveyance and Treatment BMPs

The ESCP must include a description of runoff conveyance and treatment BMPs used to prevent

erosion and sedimentation and must satisfy the following requirements. The Permittee must:

1. Protect properties adjacent to the project site from erosion and sedimentation related to

the facility.

2. Construct sediment ponds and traps, perimeter dikes, sediment barriers, and other

BMPs intended to trap sediments onsite as a first step. These BMPs must be functional

before land is disturbed. Stabilize slopes of earthen structures used for sediment

controls such as dams, dikes, and diversions immediately after construction.

3. Design any BMP constructed at an active site to maintain separation of Type 2

stormwater from Type 3 stormwater and Type 1 stormwater during the peak flow from

the design storm. If commingling of Type 1, 2 or 3 stormwater occurs, Permittee must

meet most restrictive permit requirements.

NOTE: The S&G Permit defines stormwater types. A copy of the current S&G Permit is

attached in Appendix L.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Description of Runoff Conveyance and Treatment BMPs

The existing site is flat and built over soils that allow for all of the stormwater runoff to infiltrate

into subgrade. Adjacent properties are protected from erosion and sedimentation related to the

site due to the following:

East Pole Road (SR 544) located along the site’s northern boundary, is higher in

elevation than the site. Per discussions from the owner, stormwater runoff from

the roadway flows onto the site and eventually infiltrates into the subgrade.

Existing roads along the east and west property lines prevent stormwater from

sheet flowing onto adjacent properties in these directions.

An existing gravel pit is located directly south of the site, generally at lower

elevations than the subject property. Stormwater from the site does not flow offsite

to this gravel pit, however. As described previously, stormwater infiltrates into the

gravel surfacing to the native subgrade. Process water is captured and routed to

underground tanks for recycling.

The following stormwater management treatment BMPs are currently under

construction or planned:

o Construction of settling ponds at the southeast corner of the site to capture

both stormwater and concrete process water. These settling ponds will also

capture any seepage from the existing solids bunker.

o Concrete slabs at the location of the concrete precast production area slope

toward the settling ponds. These are located along the south-central portion

of the site. All wash water from the concrete precast production area is directed

to the settling ponds for sediment capture and water recycling.

Future plans for the site include fully paving all surfaces within the concrete

precast production area to the south property line. The new pavement will

slope into the site and prevent any stormwater from leaving the site.

At the existing concrete batch plant, overland flow discharging from the

washout area towards the offsite gravel pit pond has been eliminated.

Overflows from the washout area have been temporarily rerouted to a low

spot within the project where flows infiltrate. This only discharges when the

washout area is full.


Sand & Gravel SMP

o Construction of pH treatment system for excess process water. At times

process water will exceed plant production demand, and this process water

must be treated prior to infiltration.

A new pH treatment system is proposed located west of the existing batch

plant to provide treatment for all of the process water from the precast

production area. Solids and sediments will be settled out prior to pH

treatment. After pH treatment, if the water is not re-used in the production

of concrete production, treated process water will be routed to an infiltration

trench extending west of the batch plant location.

All batch plant overflows will be routed into this new pH treatment system

for pH treatment prior to infiltration.

o As mentioned previously, the facility is currently in the process of re-applying

for CUP approval. Comprehensive stormwater management for the entire site

will be a condition of approval for the CUP. As mentioned previously, this

application is currently on-going and will be coordinated with Whatcom County

to meet current stormwater requirements.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Section 2. Monitoring Plan

A. Monitoring Plan and Content Requirements

Industrial activities at the site include production of precast concrete items. These activities

include concrete mixing, form preparation, and concrete curing. Concrete items are stored on

site after curing for sale and/or shipping. Areas described in the SMP are identified on the Site

Map attached in Appendix B.

Stormwater that discharges to ground or surface water is subject to monitoring as outlined in the

Sand and Gravel Permit (S&G Permit) attached with this SMP. Monitoring point information is

included at the beginning of this SMP document in the section Permit Coverage Letter.

These monitoring locations are identified on the Site Map attached in Appendix B. Monitoring will

meet the S&G Permit requirements as shown in the following table:

Sample Collection & Analysis

All sampling must meet requirements in the S&G Permit for method of sampling and/or laboratory

accreditation. Sampling will be conducted at each sampling location for each parameter per Table

3. See Appendix L for the S&G Permit.


Sand & Gravel SMP

A brief description of sampling practices for each location is included below:

Sampling Location S1:

Sampling Location S1 is considered to be a representative collection point from the Bode’s

Precast, Inc. facility. Samples collected at this location are intended to provide information on

existing runoff water quality conditions and will be measured for parameters identified in Table

3.


Sampling Location S2 is considered to be a representative collection point at a catch basin

downstream of driveway and parking lot runoff, as well as precast product storage areas

located northeast of the Small Parts Building. Samples collected in this location are intended

to provide information on existing runoff water quality conditions and will be measured for

parameters identified in Table 3.

Sampling Location S3: Delete

Sampling Location S3 will be eliminated due to on-going construction of settling tanks that will

collect and manage commingled storm and process water at this location. No discharge is

anticipated at this location any longer.

The Permittee will observe this area during site inspections to confirm that no discharge is

occurring at Sample Location S3, and update the DMR accordingly.


Sampling Location S4 is considered to be a representative collection point at the location of

runoff that discharges to the ground from the concrete batch plant. Samples collected in this

location are intended to provide information on existing runoff water quality conditions and will

be measured for parameters identified in Table 3. This location has been moved slightly

further west from the location noted in the DMR, and the Permittee will update the DMR

accordingly.

Additional Sample Locations:

Results from the sample collection and visual monitoring may identify the need for additional

stormwater sample collection locations. If additional sites are identified, the monitoring plan


Sand & Gravel SMP

and Site Map will be updated to reflect the additions, and the updates will be reflected on the

next quarterly DMR submittal.

Collection and Analysis:

Stormwater pH will be measured on site at each sample location. Other required parameters will

be measured at an independent lab. Stormwater will be collected directly into bottles supplied by

the lab and will be preserved and transported to the lab according to their instruction. An effort

will be made to collect the stormwater from a location with moderate flow so that the sample

collected is well-mixed and representative of stormwater from the facility. Field notes will be taken

to note conditions at the sample location including flow rate and velocity (e.g. low/medium/high).

Sampling of standing water will be avoided. If stormwater is not discharging during a monitoring

period, it will be noted in the records that are submitted to Ecology. A Sampling Field Notes Form

is included in Appendix F.

Sample analysis will be conducted by a Washington State accredited laboratory, and per the

approved methods in the S&G Permit. A current list of Ecology approved labs is included in

Appendix J.

The on-site pH meter that is proposed to be used will be calibrated and operated in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions. Copies of calibration records shall be kept in Appendix I.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Site Inspections

Visual inspections of discharges to the groundwater will be conducted as part of the sample

collection on a monthly basis. The Permittee must conduct a visual inspection of the site and

equipment per the S&G Permit, and keep copies of the inspection worksheet with the monitoring

plan records. A Site Inspection Report Form is included for reference in Appendix F, and copies

of the visual inspections should be kept per the record keeping requirements of the S&G Permit.

Visual inspections will include:

Verification that the SWPPP accurately describes potential pollutant sources, the site map

accurately reflects current conditions, and site BMPs have been implemented and are

functioning properly. Based on the inspection, adjustments will be made to BMPs and/or

the SWPPP.

Observations for the presence of floating materials including oil and grease, visible sheen,

discoloration, turbidity, and odor in both stormwater discharges and in areas on site that

involve vehicle maintenance/repair and/or liquid handling and storage.

The Permittee must inspect all operationally related equipment and vehicles weekly for

leaking fluids such as oil, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze, etc.

Permittees must conduct daily visual monitoring for oil sheen at all groundwater discharge

points (or representative locations where water collects prior to discharge) when runoff

occurs.

o If oil sheen is present, the Permittee must clean up the source and report the event

on the inspection form identifying the probable cause of the oil sheen and

describing the actions taken to prevent further contamination.

o The presence of a visible oil sheen is not a violation if there is no discharge of

sheen or petroleum products to water of the state and if the Permittee corrects the

problem in a timely manner.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Wet and Dry Season Inspections

At a minimum, the permittee must conduct at least one visual inspection during the wet season

(October 1 – April 30), and at least one visual inspection must be conducted during the dry season

(May 1 – September 30).

Wet Season Inspection:

The wet season inspection must be conducted by the Site Manager/SWPPP Lead and shall

include observations for the presence of floating materials, suspended solids, oil and grease,

discoloration, turbidity, odor, etc. in the stormwater discharge. The inspection shall be conducted

during a rainfall event adequate in intensity and duration to verify that:

The description of potential pollutant sources is accurate;

The site map has been updated or otherwise modified to reflect current conditions; and

The controls to reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges associated with industrial

activity are being implemented and are adequate.

Use the Monthly Site Inspection form for the Wet Season Inspection, attached in Appendix

F.

Dry Season Inspection:

The dry season inspection shall be conducted by personnel the Site Manager/SWPPP Lead and

after at least seven days of no precipitation. The inspection shall determine the presence of non-

stormwater discharges such as process water to the stormwater drainage system. If a discharge

related directly or indirectly to process water is discovered, the permittee shall follow the non-

compliance notification requirements of Special Condition S10.E in the Sand & Gravel Permit.

The permittee shall eliminate the non-compliant discharge within ten days. If the discharge cannot

be eliminated within ten days, the discharge shall be considered process water and will be subject

to all process water conditions in the Sand & Gravel General Permit. The inspection shall also

include review of the implementation of BMPs to ensure that the SWPPP is fully implemented.

A Dry Weather Monthly Site Inspection Form is attached in Appendix F.

Section 3. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

A. Measures to Prevent Commingling

Measures to prevent stormwater from coming into contact with process water are planned in the

future. However, at this time most of the precast concrete process areas are located outside and

not under roof areas. Therefore, stormwater that commingles with process water is considered

process water and is subject to all permit conditions for process water.

Areas where stormwater commingles with process water include the precast concrete production

area in the southeast corner of the site, the wash out sump near the Small Parts Building, and all

areas draining to the batch plant.

Future plans for the site include a building over this production area. Providing a roof would

separate stormwater from the process water and allow the stormwater to directly infiltrate into the

native subgrade. Process water would continue to be routed to settling tanks for recycling and

reuse onsite. Any process water in excess of that used would be treated to lower the pH and the

total dissolved solids and discharged into an underground infiltration basin.

Plans for the future building are still in the planning stages and will likely not be permitted and

built for five to ten (5-10) years. BMPs for source and treatment of the existing stormwater and

process water are necessary and will be implemented to meet the S&G Permit requirements.

B. Runoff Conveyance and Treatment BMPs

Existing site runoff conveyance and treatment BMPs have been described in Section 1 – Erosion

and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP). Generally, the natural topography of the site along with

gravel surfacing and berms have been used to control stormwater and contain it on the site. A

series of catch basins convey stormwater from the gravel parking, driveway, and material storage

area east of the office building to an infiltration basin located northeast of Building D. Stormwater

is kept separate from the process water by the natural topography of the site in this location.


Sand & Gravel SMP

As described in the previous Section 1. ESCP, several new treatment methods are either under

construction or in the planning stages for the site. They include the following BMPs:

i) Settling Ponds

(1) Construction of settling ponds at the southeast corner of the site to capture both

stormwater and concrete process water. These settling ponds will also capture

any seepage from the existing solids bunker. After solids and sediments settle

out, process water is recycled for reuse in concrete precast production.

ii) pH Treatment System

(1) A new pH treatment system is proposed west of the existing batch plant. At times,

process water flow will exceed concrete plant production demand. Therefore,

process water must be treated prior to discharge of the water to an infiltration basin.

iii) Infiltration Basins

(1) When process water flow exceeds concrete plant production demand, treated

process water will be allowed to infiltrate into the native soils in a trench extending

to the west of the proposed pH treatment system.

iv) Site Pavement

(1) Future plans for the site include fully paving all surfaces within the concrete precast

production area to the south property line. The new pavement will slope into the

site and prevent any stormwater from leaving the site.

A schedule for implementing these new treatment BMPs is included. However, this schedule is

subject to change as the facility pursues a Conditional Use Permit Application with Whatcom

County.

C. Innovative BMPs

The facility recycles and reuses the process water used for concrete product manufacturing.

Process water is captured, sediments allowed to settle out, and reused for concrete batch

operations.


Sand & Gravel SMP

D. Inventory of Materials and Pollutant Sources

The materials onsite include:

Loaders

Excavators

Fork lifts

Concrete trucks

Stockpiled aggregate o Sand o Gravel o Cement

Equipment / Vehicle Maintenance2 Diesel fuel, oil, petroleum products such as gasoline

1) To be updated as necessary by Permittee 2) Equipment / Vehicle Maintenance is limited to refueling. Oil changes and other

maintenance including washing with solvents will be performed off site


Sand & Gravel SMP

E. Source Control BMPs

The following source control BMPs are to be implemented at the site per the S&G Permit.

Descriptions of how each BMP has been implemented or an estimated implementation date is

included with each requirement.

1) Store all chemical liquids, fluids, and petroleum products (except bitumen), in double-

walled tanks or in secondary containment.

a. Currently, all chemical liquids used for the precast concrete production are stored

inside a building. These include the concrete form release agent when not in use.

b. When concrete agent is in use outside, it should be applied carefully and

deliberately to prevent any overspray. Accidental overspray should be cleaned up

within precast concrete production areas in a timely manner.

c. Staff routinely receive training in proper handling of chemical products,

maintenance with regard to storage, and how to clean up any spills.

2) All containers shall be labeled (e.g., “Used Oil, etc.).

a. To be completed by January 2017.

3) Fully drain and cap empty containers. Minimize empty containers on site.

a. Implement with on-going housekeeping at site.

4) Fit all dumpsters containing leachable materials with a lid that must remain closed when

not in use, or alternatively keep the dumpster under cover.

a. One dumpster is located onsite and is covered with a lid. No liquids are disposed

of in the dumpster.

5) Locate spill kits at all stationary fueling stations, fuel transfer stations, mobile fueling units,

and used oil storage/transfer stations.

a. Spill kits are located at each of the stationary fueling stations (both the diesel and

off-road tanks). These tanks are proposed to be replaced by one new tank in the

future. A spill kit will be located at the new tank. Fuel tank replacement is proposed

for early 2017, depending on permit approvals from Whatcom County.


Sand & Gravel SMP

6) Use drip pans or equivalent containment measures during all petroleum transfer

operations, and mobile fueling units.


7) Conduct all vehicle and equipment cleaning operations per the following:

a. Permittees may use low pressure (under 100 psi) cold water to rinse mud off of

vehicles and equipment provided no soap is used. Route rinse water to an on-site

sediment treatment structure (e.g. sediment trap, catch basin with gravity

separator, or treatment pond).

i. Vehicle washing does occur on the site. This is done in the area where

process water is captured and routed through settling ponds for recycling

and reuse.

b. Conduct all other vehicle and equipment cleaning operations under cover or in a

bermed area to prevent commingling of wash water and stormwater.

i. This wash water must drain to a proper collection system (i.e., not the

stormwater drainage system).

1. As described previously, vehicle washing occurs onsite within the

concrete production area. This wash water drains to the process

water recycling system.

2. Wheelbarrows and tools used for precasting of concrete products

currently are washed out above a grated lined sump located east of

the Small Parts Building. The concrete slab around this sump

slopes away from it. Based on observation, minimal process water

is collected daily in this sump, between 5 – 10 gallons per day.

Water eventually evaporates out of the sump, and the sump is

annually cleaned of solids.

Eventually, the areas surrounding this sump will be paved and will

slope towards the proposed settling basin that will capture water

and treat it for reuse within the facility. Until then, process water in


Sand & Gravel SMP

the sump will be monitored to prevent commingling of stormwater

with the process water.

If the sump is observed to be full and overflow imminent, the site

owner may have it pumped out to prevent discharge of process

water to surrounding gravel pavement areas that may allow it to

discharge without treatment to the ground.

Alternately, the Permittee may cover the sump to prevent discharge

of the process water to surrounding gravel pavement areas that

may allow it to discharge without treatment to the ground.

Pavement of all areas within the concrete production area will be

completed by March 2017.

3. Concrete wash-out water from the batch plant and concrete trucks

is handled as described below.

ii. Do not discharge any wastewater from concrete truck wash-out areas or

from concrete trucks directly to surface water or groundwater. Treat this

wastewater in a lined impoundment.

1. Concrete truck wash-out water is captured in a lined impoundment

located as shown on the attached Site Map. This impoundment

provides settling of solids and is recycled for use in manufacturing

of concrete products throughout the facility.

8) Store unhardened concrete, any type of concrete solids (does not include fully cured or

recycled concrete), returned asphalt, and cold mix asphalt on a bermed impervious

surface. This includes comeback concrete, ecology blocks, septic tanks, jersey barriers,

and other cast concrete products. Treat all stormwater that contacts these materials in a

lined impoundment. Discharge of this water is subject to the effluent limitations in S2 (of

the S&G General Permit) and must not cause a violation of water quality standards.


Sand & Gravel SMP

a. The project site currently is finished with gravel surfacing. The owner is

implementing design changes to fully pave all areas of the site where unhardened

and uncured concrete products are stored. The new pavement will slope towards

the proposed new settling ponds, capturing all stormwater runoff that comes into

contact with unhardened and/or uncured concrete. Settling basins will be

operational by the end of December 2016 and timing is subject to the CUP

application process with Whatcom County.

b. No asphalt products are anticipated onsite.

9) Store lead acid batteries under cover.


10) Take leaking equipment out of service and prevent it from leaking on the ground until

repaired. Repair all leaks before putting equipment back into service on the site.


11) Manage paving equipment to prevent stormwater contamination.

a. No asphalt paving equipment is anticipated onsite.

12) Manage sediment track out to paved off-site roads to prevent the tracked sediment from

delivering to surface water or storm drain systems. Discharges to surface waters, public

storm drain systems, or both are subject to permit limits for turbidity and must be included

in the Permittee’s Monitoring Plan whenever track out onto an off-site roadway is evident.

Measures recommended to control or prevent track out include:

a. Limit vehicle access and exit to one route, if possible.

i. Vehicles access the site from the main entrance driveway along East Pole

Road or along an access easement road located along the east property

line. The access easement road is shared with the surrounding gravel pit

properties.


Sand & Gravel SMP

b. Stabilize access points with a pad of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or other

equivalent BMP, as necessary to minimize the tracking of sediment onto off-site

roads.

i. Implement with on-going housekeeping at site. The Permittee shall monitor

the off-site roads for sediment track-out and, if necessary, a quarry spall

pad will be added to the site access locations to minimize the tracking of

sediment onto off-site roads.

c. Locate a closed loop wheel wash or tire baths (or equivalent BMP) on site, if the

stabilized construction entrance is not effective in preventing sediment from being

tracked onto off-site roads. Wheel wash and tire bath wastewater is process water

is subject to the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements in the S&G

General Permit and must not cause a violation of water quality standards.

i. Implement with on-going housekeeping at site. The Permittee shall monitor

the off-site roads and, if necessary, provide a wheel wash (or equivalent

BMP) onsite.

d. Clean off-site roads thoroughly at the end of each day or more frequently during

wet weather if sediment is tracked off site. Clean sediment from roads by shoveling

or pickup sweeping and transport to a controlled sediment disposal area.

i. Implement with on-going housekeeping at site.

e. Only wash streets after sediment is removed in accordance with condition “d”

above. Street wash wastewater must be controlled by pumping back onsite or

otherwise prevented from discharging into systems tributary to waters of the state.

i. Implement with on-going housekeeping at site.

13) The Permittee must use source control BMPs in the following areas and during the

following activities as necessary to control pollutants:

a. Fueling at Dedicated Stations

b. Mobile Fueling

c. Loading and Unloading Areas

d. Storage of Liquid in Permanent Above-ground Tanks


Sand & Gravel SMP

e. Dust Control

f. High Use Parking areas

g. Storage or Transfer of Solid Raw Materials, By-Products, or Finished Products

Source Control BMPs for the previous list have been included in Appendix C for reference.

F. Concrete Recycling BMPs

No concrete recycling is anticipated at the facility. The facility does attempt to reuse as much of

their own mixed products as feasible; however, no offsite demolition concrete material is brought

to the site for processing.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Section 4. Spill Control Plan The Spill Control Plan is to protect human health and the environment from spills and releases of

materials of concern. The Spill Control Plan for the facility is outlined below.

A Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan was prepared in 2013 by Reichhard &

Ebe, Inc. This plan has been updated in this SMP based on the 2016 S&G Permit requirements.

Much of the 2013 SPCC Plan has valuable information that can be referenced by the Permittee

in addition to this Spill Control Plan.

The Permittee has a responsibility to train employees in the proper reporting and response

procedures. These are outlined in the following section, Spill Response – Training. Recording

this routine training is part of the operational practices of the facility and should be recorded in

Appendix E.

A. Materials of Concern

The Permittee shall maintain and comply with a Spill Control Plan for the prevention, containment,

control, and cleanup of spills or unplanned discharges of:

1. Oil and petroleum products including accidental release from equipment.

2. Material, which when spilled or otherwise release into the environment, is designated

Dangerous (DW) or Extremely Hazardous Waste (EHW) by the procedures set forth in WAC

173-303-070.

3. Other materials which may become pollutants or cause pollution upon reaching waters of

the state.

Materials stored on site are those associated with the manufacture of precast concrete products

and maintenance of operational equipment. Material Safety and Data Sheets (MSDS) for the

chemical additives used in the manufacturing process are kept on site in the office.

The MSDS are readily accessible to site personnel in the site office. Material handling and spill

response will be reviewed with employees as part of a regularly scheduled employee training

program.


Sand & Gravel SMP

B. Spill Control Plan Contents

The Permittee must review and update the Spill Control Plan, as needed, but at least annually. A

reminder for the Permittee is included at the introduction to the SMP, with a page to sign and date

showing that this review has taken place located in Appendix E.

1. Spills shall be reported per Table 6.

2. A list of equipment and materials on site that have the potential to leak or spill is included

in Table 7.

3. A description of preventive measures and facilities (also identified on the Site Map

attached in Appendix B), is included in Table 7.

4. Specific handling procedures and storage requirements for materials kept on site are as

follows:

a. Concrete process water:

i. Process water containing high pH and sediments is handled per previously

described collection and treatment to be recycled for reuse within the site.

If a spill of process water to ground occurs, the source of the spill shall

immediately be contained and eliminated. The Permittee shall take

immediate steps to ensure this does not occur again.

b. Fuel, oil products for equipment and vehicles:

i. These products shall be stored under cover. Routine fueling and use of

these products shall be handled carefully to prevent spills. If a spill occurs,

it shall be contained and cleaned up per Table 6.

c. Concrete production chemicals, form agent:

i. Currently, all chemical liquids used for the precast concrete production are

stored inside a building. These include the concrete form release agent

when not in use.

ii. When concrete agent is in use outside, it should be applied carefully and

deliberately to prevent any overspray. Accidental overspray should be

cleaned up within precast concrete production areas in a timely manner.

iii. Staff routinely receive training in proper handling of chemical products,

maintenance with regard to storage, and how to clean up any spills.

Sand & Gravel SMP

Appendix C – Applicable Source Control BMPs Operational Source Control BMPs for Dust Control at Disturbed Land Areas and Unpaved

Roadways and Parking Lots:

Sprinkle or wet down soil or dust with water as long as it does not result in a wastewater

discharge.

Use only local and/or state government approved dust suppressant chemicals such as those

listed in Ecology Publication #96-433, “Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression.”

Avoid excessive and repeated applications of dust suppressant chemicals. Time the

application of dust suppressants to avoid or minimize their wash-off by rainfall or human

activity such as irrigation.

Apply stormwater containment to prevent the conveyance of stormwater TSS into storm

drains or receiving waters.

The use of motor oil for dust control is prohibited. Care should be taken when using lignin

derivatives and other high BOD chemicals in excavations or areas easily accessible to

surface water or ground water.

Consult with the Ecology Regional Office in (see Table 2) on discharge permit requirements

if the dust suppression process results in a wastewater discharge to the ground, ground

water, storm drain, or surface water.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Dust Control at Manufacturing Areas:

Clean, as needed, powder material handling equipment and vehicles that can be sources of

stormwater pollutants, to remove accumulated dust and residue.

Regularly sweep dust accumulation areas that can contaminate stormwater. Sweeping

should be conducted using vacuum filter equipment to minimize dust generation and to

ensure optimal dust removal.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Fueling At Dedicated Stations:

Prepare an emergency spill response and cleanup plan (per BMPs for Spills of Oil and

Hazardous Substances) and have designated trained person(s) available either on site or on

call at all times to promptly and properly implement that plan and immediately cleanup all

spills. Keep suitable cleanup materials, such as dry adsorbent materials, on site to allow

prompt cleanup of a spill.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Train employees on the proper use of fuel dispensers. Post signs in accordance with the

Uniform Fire Code (UFC). Post “No Topping Off” signs (topping off gas tanks causes

spillage and vents gas fumes to the air). Make sure that the automatic shutoff on the fuel

nozzle is functioning properly.

The person conducting the fuel transfer must be present at the fueling pump during fuel

transfer, particularly at unattended or self-serve stations.

Keep drained oil filters in a suitable container or drum.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Illicit Connections to Storm Drains:

Eliminate unpermitted wastewater discharges to storm drains, ground water, or surface

water; and,

Convey unpermitted discharges to a sanitary sewer if allowed by the local sewer authority,

or to other approved treatment; and,

Obtain appropriate permits for these discharges.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Landscaping and Lawn/Vegetation Management:

Landscaping:

Install engineered soil/landscape systems to improve the infiltration and regulation of

stormwater in landscaped areas.

Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm drainage systems.

Pesticides:

Develop and implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan and use pesticides only

as a last resort.

An IPM program might consist of the following steps:

Step 1: Correctly identify problem pests and understand their life cycle

Step 2: Establish tolerance thresholds for pests.

Step 3: Monitor to detect and prevent pest problems.

Step 4: Modify the maintenance program to promote healthy plants and discourage

pests.

Step 5: Use cultural, physical, mechanical, or biological controls first if pests exceed the

tolerance thresholds.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Step 6: Evaluate and record the effectiveness of the control and modify maintenance

practices to support lawn or landscape recovery and prevent recurrence.

Implement a pesticide-use plan and include at a minimum: a list of selected pesticides and

their specific uses; brands, formulations, application methods and quantities to be used;

equipment use and maintenance procedures; safety, storage, and disposal methods; and

monitoring, record keeping, and public notice procedures. All procedures shall conform to

the requirements of Chapter 17.21 RCW and Chapter 16-228 WAC (Appendix IV-D R.7).

Choose the least toxic pesticide available that is capable of reducing the infestation to

acceptable levels. The pesticide should readily degrade in the environment and/or have

properties that strongly bind it to the soil. Any pest control used should be conducted at the

life stage when the pest is most vulnerable. For example, if it is necessary to use a Bacillus

thuringiens is application to control tent caterpillars, it must be applied before the caterpillars

cocoon or it will be ineffective. Any method used should be site-specific and not used

wholesale over a wide area.

Apply the pesticide according to label directions. Under no conditions shall pesticides be

applied in quantities that exceed manufacturer’s instructions.

Mix the pesticides and clean the application equipment in an area where accidental spills

will not enter surface or ground waters, and will not contaminate the soil.

Store pesticides in enclosed areas or in covered impervious containment. Ensure that

pesticide contaminated stormwater or spills/leaks of pesticides are not discharged to storm

drains. Do not hose down the paved areas to a storm drain or conveyance ditch. Store and

maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to all near the storage area.

Clean up any spilled pesticides and ensure that the pesticide contaminated waste materials

are kept in designated covered and contained areas.

The pesticide application equipment must be capable of immediate shutoff in the event of an

emergency.

Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet of open waters including wetlands, ponds, and

streams, sloughs and any drainage ditch or channel that leads to open water except when

approved by Ecology or the local jurisdiction. All sensitive areas including wells, creeks and

wetlands must be flagged prior to spraying.

As required by the local government or by Ecology, complete public posting of the area to

be sprayed prior to the application.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Spray applications should only be conducted during weather conditions as specified in the

label direction and applicable local and state regulations. Do not apply during rain or

immediately before expected rain.

Vegetation Management:

Use at least an eight-inch "topsoil" layer with at least 8 percent organic matter to provide a

sufficient vegetation-growing medium. Amending existing landscapes and turf systems by

increasing the percent organic matter and depth of topsoil can substantially improve the

permeability of the soil, the disease and drought resistance of the vegetation, and reduce

fertilizer demand. This reduces the demand for fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.

Organic matter is the least water-soluble form of nutrients that can be added to the soil.

Composted organic matter generally releases only between 2 and 10 percent of its total

nitrogen annually, and this release corresponds closely to the plant growth cycle. If natural

plant debris and mulch are returned to the soil, this system can continue recycling nutrients

indefinitely.

Select the appropriate turfgrass mixture for your climate and soil type. Certain tall fescues

and rye grasses resist insect attack because the symbiotic endophytic fungi found naturally

in their tissues repel or kill common leaf and stem-eating lawn insects. They do not,

however, repel root-feeding lawn pests such as Crane Fly larvae, and are toxic to ruminants

such as cattle and sheep. The fungus causes no known adverse effects to the host plant or

to humans. Endophytic grasses are commercially available and can be used in areas such

as parks or golf courses where grazing does not occur. The local Cooperative Extension

office can offer advice on which types of grass are best suited to the area and soil type.

Use the following seeding and planting BMPs, or equivalent BMPs to obtain information on

grass mixtures, temporary and permanent seeding procedures, maintenance of a recently

planted area, and fertilizer application rates: Temporary Seeding, Mulching and Matting,

Clear Plastic Covering, Permanent Seeding and Planting, and Sodding as described in

Volume II).

Selection of desired plant species can be made by adjusting the soil properties of the

subject site. For example, a constructed wetland can be designed to resist the invasion of

reed canary grass by layering specific strata of organic matters (e.g., compost forest product

residuals) and creating a mildly acidic pH and carbon-rich soil medium. Consult a soil

restoration specialist for site-specific conditions.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Aerate lawns regularly in areas of heavy use where the soil tends to become compacted.

Aeration should be conducted while the grasses in the lawn are growing most vigorously.

Remove layers of thatch greater than ¾-inch deep.

Mowing is a stress-creating activity for turfgrass. When grass is mowed too short its

productivity is decreased and there is less growth of roots and rhizomes. The turf becomes

less tolerant of environmental stresses, more disease prone and more reliant on outside

means such as pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation to remain healthy. Set the mowing height

at the highest acceptable level and mow at times and intervals designed to minimize stress

on the turf. Generally mowing only 1/3 of the grass blade height will prevent stressing the

turf.

Irrigation:

The depth from which a plant normally extracts water depends on the rooting depth of the

plant. Appropriately irrigated lawn grasses normally root in the top 6 to 12 inches of soil;

lawns irrigated on a daily basis often root only in the top 1 inch of soil. Improper irrigation

can encourage pest problems, leach nutrients, and make a lawn completely dependent on

artificial watering. The amount of water applied depends on the normal rooting depth of the

turfgrass species used, the available water holding capacity of the soil, and the efficiency of

the irrigation system. Consult with the local water utility, Conservation District, or

Cooperative Extension office to help determine optimum irrigation practices.

Fertilizer Management:

Turfgrass is most responsive to nitrogen fertilization, followed by potassium and

phosphorus. Fertilization needs vary by site depending on plant, soil and climatic conditions.

Evaluation of soil nutrient levels through regular testing ensures the best possible efficiency

and economy of fertilization. For details on soils testing, contact the local Conservation

District or Cooperative Extension Service.

Fertilizers should be applied in amounts appropriate for the target vegetation and at the time

of year that minimizes losses to surface and ground waters. Do not fertilize during a drought

or when the soil is dry. Alternatively, do not apply fertilizers within three days prior to

predicted rainfall. The longer the period between fertilizer application and either rainfall or

irrigation, the less fertilizer runoff occurs.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Use slow release fertilizers such as methylene urea, IDBU, or resin coated fertilizers when

appropriate, generally in the spring. Use of slow release fertilizers is especially important in

areas with sandy or gravelly soils.

Time the fertilizer application to periods of maximum plant uptake. Generally fall and spring

applications are recommended, although WSU turf specialists recommend four fertilizer

applications per year.

Properly trained persons should apply all fertilizers. At commercial and industrial facilities

fertilizers should not be applied to grass swales, filter strips, or buffer areas that drain to

sensitive water bodies unless approved by the local jurisdiction.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Loading and Unloading Areas for Liquid or Solid Material:

All Loading/Unloading Areas:

A significant amount of debris can accumulate at outside, uncovered loading/unloading

areas. Sweep these surfaces frequently to remove material that could otherwise be washed

off by stormwater. Sweep outside areas that are covered for a period of time by containers,

logs, or other material after the areas are cleared.

Place drip pans, or other appropriate temporary containment device, at locations where

leaks or spills may occur such as hose connections, hose reels and filler nozzles. Drip pans

shall always be used when making and breaking connections (see Figure 2.2). Check

loading/unloading equipment such as valves, pumps, flanges, and connections regularly for

leaks and repair as needed.

Transfer of Small Quantities from Tanks and Containers:

Refer to BMPs Storage of Liquids in Permanent Above-Ground Tanks, and Storage of

Liquid, Food Waste, or Dangerous Waste Containers, for requirements on the transfer of

small quantities from tanks and containers, respectively.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Operational Source Control BMPs for Maintenance and Repair of Vehicles and Equipment:

Inspect for leaks all incoming vehicles, parts, and equipment stored temporarily outside.

Use drip pans or containers under parts or vehicles that drip or that are likely to drip liquids,

such as during dismantling of liquid containing parts or removal or transfer of liquids.

Remove batteries and liquids from vehicles and equipment in designated areas designed to

prevent stormwater contamination. Store cracked batteries in a covered non-leaking

secondary containment system.

Empty oil and fuel filters before disposal. Provide for proper disposal of waste oil and fuel.

Do not pour/convey wash water, liquid waste, or other pollutant into storm drains or to

surface water. Check with the local sanitary sewer authority for approval to convey to a

sanitary sewer.

Do not connect maintenance and repair shop floor drains to storm drains or to surface

water. To allow for snowmelt during the winter a drainage trench with a sump for particulate

collection can be installed and used only for draining the snowmelt and not for discharging

any vehicular or shop pollutants.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Maintenance of Stormwater Drainage and Treatment

Systems:

Inspect and clean treatment BMPs, conveyance systems, and catch basins as needed, and

determine whether improvements in O & M are needed.

Promptly repair any deterioration threatening the structural integrity of the facilities. These

include replacement of clean-out gates, catch basin lids, and rock in emergency spillways.

Ensure that storm sewer capacities are not exceeded and that heavy sediment discharges

to the sewer system are prevented.

Regularly remove debris and sludge from BMPs used for peak-rate control, treatment, etc.

and discharge to a sanitary sewer if approved by the sewer authority, or truck to a local or

state government approved disposal site.

Clean catch basins when the depth of deposits reaches 60 percent of the sump depth as

measured from the bottom of basin to the invert of the lowest pipe into or out of the basin.

However, in no case should there be less than six inches clearance from the debris surface

to the invert of the lowest pipe. Some catch basins (for example, WSDOT Type 1L basins)

may have as little as 12 inches sediment storage below the invert. These catch basins will

need more frequent inspection and cleaning to prevent scouring. Where these catch basins


Sand & Gravel SMP

are part of a stormwater collection and treatment system, the system owner/operator may

choose to concentrate maintenance efforts on downstream control devices as part of a

systems approach.

Clean woody debris in a catch basin as frequently as needed to ensure proper operation of

the catch basin.

Post warning signs; “Dump No Waste - Drains to Ground Water,” “Streams,” “Lakes,” or

emboss on or adjacent to all storm drain inlets where practical.

Disposal of sediments and liquids from the catch basins must comply with

“Recommendations for Management of Street Wastes” described in Appendix IV-G of

Volume IV of the Ecology Stormwater Manual.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Manufacturing Activities - Outside:

Alter the activity by eliminating or minimizing the contamination of stormwater.

Enclose the activity (see Figure 2.6 in Volume IV of the Ecology Stormwater Manual): If

possible, enclose the manufacturing activity in a building.

Cover the activity and connect floor drains to a sanitary sewer, if approved by the local

sewer authority. Berm or slope the floor as needed to prevent drainage of pollutants to

outside areas. (See Figure 2.7 in Volume IV of the Ecology Stormwater Manual).

Isolate and segregate pollutants as feasible. Convey the segregated pollutants to a sanitary

sewer, process treatment or a dead-end sump depending on available methods and

applicable permit requirements.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Parking and Storage of Vehicles and Equipment:

If washing of a parking lot is conducted, discharge the wash water to a sanitary sewer, if

allowed by the local sewer authority, or other approved wastewater treatment system, or

collect it for off-site disposal.

Do not hose down the area to a storm drain or to a receiving water. Sweep parking lots,

storage areas, and driveways, regularly to collect dirt, waste, and debris.


Sand & Gravel SMP

Operational Source Control BMPs for Roof/Building Drains at Manufacturing and Commercial

Buildings:

If leachates and/or emissions from buildings are suspected sources of stormwater

pollutants, then sample and analyze the stormwater draining from the building.

If a roof/building stormwater pollutant source is identified, implement appropriate source

control measures such as air pollution control equipment, selection of materials, painting

galvanized surfaces, operational changes, material recycle, process changes, etc.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control at Industrial Sites:

Cover Practice Options:

o Vegetative cover such as grass, trees, shrubs, on erodible soil areas; or,

o Covering with mats such as clear plastic, jute, synthetic fiber; and/or,

o Preservation of natural vegetation including grass, trees, shrubs, and vines,

Structural Practice Options:

o Vegetated swale, dike, silt fence, check dam, gravel filter berm, sedimentation basin,

and proper grading.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Spills of Oil and Hazardous Substances:

Prepare an Emergency Spill Control Plan (SCP), which includes:

o A description of the facility including the owner's name and address;

o The nature of the activity at the facility;

o The general types of chemicals used or stored at the facility;

o A site plan showing the location of storage areas for chemicals, the locations of storm

drains, the areas draining to them, and the location and description of any devices to

stop spills from leaving the site such as positive control valves;

o Cleanup procedures;

o Notification procedures to be used in the event of a spill, such as notifying key

personnel. Agencies such as Ecology, local fire department, Washington State Patrol,

and the local Sewer Authority, shall be notified;

o The name of the designated person with overall spill cleanup and notification

responsibility;

Train key personnel in the implementation of the Emergency SCP. Prepare a summary of

the plan and post it at appropriate points in the building, identifying the spill cleanup


Sand & Gravel SMP

coordinators, location of cleanup kits, and phone numbers of regulatory agencies to be

contacted in the event of a spill;

Update the SCP regularly;

Immediately notify Ecology and the local Sewer Authority if a spill may reach sanitary or

storm sewers, ground water, or surface water, in accordance with federal and Ecology spill

reporting requirements;

Immediately clean up spills. Do not use emulsifiers for cleanup unless an appropriate

disposal method for the resulting oily wastewater is implemented. Absorbent material shall

not be washed down a floor drain or storm sewer; and,

Locate emergency spill containment and cleanup kit(s) in high potential spill areas. The

contents of the kit shall be appropriate for the type and quantities of chemical liquids stored

at the facility.

Operational Source Control BMPs for Storage of Liquids in Permanent Above-ground Tanks:

Inspect the tank containment areas regularly to identify problem components such as

fittings, pipe connections, and valves, for leaks/spills, cracks, corrosion, etc.

Place adequately sized drip pans beneath all mounted taps and drip/spill locations during

filling/ unloading of tanks. Valved drain tubing may be needed in mounted drip pans.

Sweep and clean the tank storage area regularly, if paved.

Replace or repair tanks that are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating.

All installations shall comply with the Uniform Fire Code and the National Electric Code

Structural Source Control BMPs for Fueling At Dedicated Stations:

Design the fueling island to control spills (dead-end sump or spill control separator in

compliance with the UFC), and to treat collected stormwater and/or wastewater to required

levels. Slope the concrete containment pad around the fueling island toward drains; either

trench drains, catch basins and/or a dead-end sump. The slope of the drains shall not be

less than 1 percent (Section 7901.8 of the UFC). Drains to treatment shall have a shutoff

valve, which must be closed in the event of a spill. The spill control sump must be sized in

compliance with Section 7901.8 of the UFC; or

Design the fueling island as a spill containment pad with a sill or berm raised to a minimum

of four inches (Section 7901.8 of the UFC) to prevent the runoff of spilled liquids and to


Sand & Gravel SMP

prevent run-on of stormwater from the surrounding area. Raised sills are not required at the

open-grate trenches that connect to an approved drainage-control system.

The fueling pad must be paved with Portland cement concrete, or equivalent. Asphalt is not

considered an equivalent material.

The fueling island must have a roof or canopy to prevent the direct entry of precipitation onto

the spill containment pad (see Figure 2.1). The roof or canopy should, at a minimum, cover

the spill containment pad (within the grade break or fuel dispensing area) and preferably

extend several additional feet to reduce the introduction of windblown rain. Convey all roof

drains to storm drains outside the fueling containment area.

Stormwater collected on the fuel island containment pad must be conveyed to a sanitary

sewer system, if approved by the sanitary authority; or to an approved treatment system

such as an oil/water separator and a basic treatment BMP. (Basic treatment BMPs are listed

in Volume V and include media filters and biofilters) Discharges from treatment systems to

storm drains or surface water or to the ground must not display ongoing or recurring visible

sheen and must not contain greater than a significant amount of oil and grease.

Alternatively, stormwater collected on the fuel island containment pad may be collected and

held for proper offsite disposal.

Conveyance of any fuel-contaminated stormwater to a sanitary sewer must be approved by

the local sewer authority and must comply with pretreatment regulations (WAC 173-216-

060). These regulations prohibit discharges that could "cause fire or explosion. An explosive

or flammable mixture is defined under state and federal pretreatment regulations, based on

a flash point determination of the mixture. If contaminated stormwater is determined not to

be explosive, then it could be conveyed to a sanitary sewer system.

Transfer the fuel from the delivery tank trucks to the fuel storage tank in impervious

contained areas and ensure that appropriate overflow protection is used. Alternatively, cover

nearby storm drains during the filling process and use drip pans under all hose connections.

RANS PH CONTROL SYSTEMS:CONCRETE REMOVERS

Operation Overview Model5000 Series pH Control Systems©

Copyrighted information

The Model 5000 series pH Control systems use a patented Dif-Jet™ non-fouling carbon dioxide gas diffusion and injection process to lower the pH of process water and or storm water at ready mix concrete plants, and precast concrete manufacturing operations. These systems also lower Total and Suspended Solids to low levels.

The programmable logic controller in the system can be set to lower the pH to almost any end point. The controller is pre-set to maintain a pH of 7.5 in the detention basin.

The system is installed on a 10'x 10' concrete pad adjacent to the pit, basin or tank with the cleanest, most settled water. The system circulates the water in the containment basin with a submersible pump in a closed loop piping system and continually monitors the pH level. When the pH rises to 8.25, the controller will actuate a solenoid valve and begin to diffuse and inject carbon gas. Once the water is at a pH of 7.5, the valve shuts off and the water circulates until the pH rises to 8.25 again. The range may be adjusted to the owner's preference. For example, the "on" set point can be set to 7.5 and the "off' set point can be 7.0 for a lower tighter range.

High pH process water contains a high levels of suspended and dissolved solids; primarily calcium hydroxide. The carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid when it is dissolved in water, the reaction between the carbonic acid and ~calcium hydroxide forms calcium carbonate which is insoluble in water and precipitates out of the water. Typically, the 'Total Suspended Solids" reading will be from 14 to 17 after pH adjustment. The EPA permits discharge of treated process water when the pH is 9.00 or lower and the TSS (Total Suspended Solids) is under 30.

As part of a water recycling program, the treated water may be used to batch concrete, for dust control, truck washing and irrigation of lightweight aggregate or release from the property according to the storm water permit for the plant. The treated water may also be returned to the municipal waste water system.

pH adjusted water does not scale up windshields or paint. It will not scale up pumps, valves or fittings so maintenance costs are lower compared to using high pH process water to batch concrete.

Also, having a basin or pit of pH adjusted water will generally help in managing stormwater as the "buffered water'' will neutralize most of the stormwater that enters the basin. These systems are useful for treating and maintaining stormwater containment to avoid discharging high pH water.

Carbon Dioxide costs about .29 lb delivered. Typical C02 cost will be around $6.00 per day per 10,000 gallons of high pH water. This figure may vary depending on the actual pH and total alkalinity of the process water.

The systems include everything needed to operate except the C02 supply and tank. Fortrans supplies a Victor SR-31-320 high flow C02 regulator and nylon supply hose. The final 115V- 20 A electrical connection is by others.

A small amount of schedule 80 PVC piping and fittings to construct the return outlet per our supplied drawing will also be required.

Fortrans does not recommend "batch treating" of process water. Once the system is installed; run continually during plant operating hours. The system will not use more C02 than if batch treating and scaling in piping and lines will be greatly reduced.

The Model 5000S, 50008 and 5000SK all have the capacity to treat up to 75,000 GPO. The systems are supplied with operation manuals that contain detailed operating and maintenance instructions, installation instructions and drawings that show how to set up the pump and pump boom and how to install the discharge piping

Competitive Information

The Model 5000S pH Control Systems cost approximately 60 to 70% less to purchase and operate than acid based neutralization systems. The cost savings is based on using less pounds of C02 than sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.

Sulfuric Acid based systems or sodium bisulfate systems will increase Total Suspended Solids. A separate filter will be required to meet EPA standards for discharge.

Fortrans' systems do not use corrosives, all of the components last longer. No . hazardous chemical permits are required.

All systems are guaranteed to perform to our customer's satisfaction.

G. Discharges to Surface Water — Additional Effluent Limits 1. Discharges must not cause a visible increase in turbidity or objectionable color; or

cause visible oil sheen in the receiving water.

2. New facilities and existing facilities must comply with TMDL wasteload allocations(for turbidity, fine sediment, pH and/or temperature) developed from a TMDLwhich was completed prior to the date permit coverage is issued.

3. New facilities that propose to discharge to an impaired water body that is on thecurrent EPA-approved 303(d) list, but without a completed TMDL, must notdischarge the listed pollutant (turbidity, fine sediment (TSS), pH or temperature) ata concentration or volume that will cause or contribute to a violation of theapplicable water quality standard in the receiving water.

4. Existing facilities that discharge to an impaired waterbody on the current EPA-approved 303(d) list must not increase their loading or concentration of the listedpollutant (turbidity, fine sediment measured as TSS, pH, or temperature) for theduration of the coverage of this permit or until a wasteload allocation is assigned tothe Permittee from a TMDL approved by the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency.

5. No Permittee may discharge pollutants in excess of levels established in a wasteloadallocation in a TMDL approved by the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency.

a. Where an applicable TMDL has established a general waste load allocation forfacilities covered by this permit but has not identified facility-specificrequirements, compliance with conditions S2 through S5 will constitutecompliance with the TMDL.

b. Where an applicable TMDL has not specified a waste load allocation forfacilities covered by this permit, but has not excluded these discharges,compliance with this permit will constitute compliance with the TMDL.

c. Where an applicable TMDL assigns a wasteload allocation to a specific facility,Ecology will implement the wasteload allocation by issuing a modified coverageor an administrative order.

H. Discharges to Groundwater — Additional Effluent Limitations The Permittee is authorized to discharge process water, mine dewatering water, and stormwater to groundwater at the permitted location subject to the numeric effluent limitations in S2. If the Permittee combines discharges from two or more industrial activities, the most stringent effluent limit for each parameter applies.

1. There must be no visible oil sheen at any points of discharge to groundwater.

2. Any discharge to a pond, lagoon, or other type of impoundment or storage facilitythat is unlined is considered a discharge to groundwater and is subject to thegroundwater quality standards (Chapter 173-200 WAC). Water ponding at a facilitycan be considered a discharge to groundwater.


S3.I.1 S4.A.2


If a Permittee discharges wastewater below the surface of the ground, such as to a dry well, drainfield, or injection well it must comply with the Underground Injection Control Program regulations (Chapter 173-218 WAC).

I. Discharge to Sanitary Sewer Discharge of stormwater to sanitary sewers is subject to the following conditions:

GENERAL CONDITIONS

G1. SIGNATORY REQUIREMENTS

A. All applications must be signed and certified.

1. In the case of corporations, by a responsible corporate officer.

For the purpose of this section, a responsible corporate officer means:

a. A president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in chargeof a principal business function, or any other person who performs similarpolicy- or decision making functions for the corporation.

b. Or, the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operatingfacilities, provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisionswhich govern the operation of the regulated facility including having theexplicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations,and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long termenvironmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; themanager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions takento gather complete and accurate information for permit applicationrequirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned ordelegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures.

2. In the case of a partnership, by a general partner.

3. In the case of sole proprietorship, by the proprietor.

4. In the case of a municipal, state, or other public facility, by either a principalexecutive officer or ranking elected official.

Applications for permits for domestic wastewater facilities that are either owned or operated by, or under contract to, a public entity must be submitted by the public entity.

B. All reports required by this permit and other information requested by Ecology must be signed by a person described above or by a duly authorized representative of that person. A person is a duly authorized representative only if:

1. The authorization is made in writing by a person described above and submitted toEcology.

2. The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibilityfor the overall operation of the regulated facility, such as the position of plantmanager, superintendent, position of equivalent responsibility, or an individual orposition having overall responsibility for environmental matters. (A duly authorizedrepresentative may thus be either a named individual or any individual occupying anamed position.)

C. Changes to authorization. If an authorization under paragraph B.2 above is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, a new authorization satisfying the requirements of paragraph B.2 above must be submitted to Ecology prior to or together with any reports, information, or applications to be signed by an authorized representative.

G1 G5


D. Certification. Any person signing a document under this section must make the following certification:

I certify under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.

G2. DISCHARGE VIOLATIONS

All discharges and activities authorized by this general permit must be consistent with the terms and conditions of this general permit. The discharge of any pollutants more frequently than, or at a concentration in excess of, that authorized by this permit constitutes a violation of the terms and conditions of this permit.

G3. PROPER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The Permittee must at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of collection, treatment, and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee for pollution control.

G4. REDUCED PRODUCTION FOR COMPLIANCE

The Permittee, in order to maintain compliance with their general permit coverage, must control production and/or all discharges upon reduction, loss, failure, or bypass of the treatment facility until the facility is restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided. This requirement applies in the situation where, among other things, the primary source of power of the treatment facility is reduced, lost, or fails.

G5. BYPASS PROCEDURES

Bypass, which is the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility, is prohibited, and Ecology may take enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass unless one of the following circumstances (1, 2, or 3) is applicable.

A. Bypass for Essential Maintenance without the Potential to Cause Violation of Permit Limits or Conditions.

Bypass is authorized if it is for essential maintenance and does not have the potential to cause violations of limitations or other conditions of this permit, or adversely impact public health as determined by Ecology prior to the bypass. The Permittee must submit prior notice, if possible, at least ten (10) days before the date of the bypass.

G5 G5


B. Bypass which is Unavoidable, Unanticipated, and Results in Noncompliance of this Permit.

This bypass is permitted only if:

1. Bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe propertydamage. “Severe property damage” means substantial physical damage to property,damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become inoperable, orsubstantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably beexpected to occur in the absence of a bypass.

2. There are no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliarytreatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenanceduring normal periods of equipment downtime (but not if adequate backupequipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineeringjudgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipmentdowntime or preventative maintenance), or transport of untreated wastes to anothertreatment facility.

3. Ecology is properly notified of the bypass as required in condition S10.E of thispermit.

C. Bypass Which is Anticipated and has the Potential to Result in Noncompliance of this Permit.

The Permittee must notify Ecology at least thirty (30) days before the planned date of bypass. The notice must contain: (1) a description of the bypass and its cause; (2) an analysis of all known alternatives which would eliminate, reduce, or mitigate the need for bypassing; (3) a cost-effectiveness analysis of alternatives including comparative resource damage assessment; (4) the minimum and maximum duration of bypass under each alternative; (5) a recommendation as to the preferred alternative for conducting the bypass; (6) the projected date of bypass initiation; (7) a statement of compliance with SEPA; (8) a request for modification of water quality standards as provided for in WAC 173-201A-410, if an exceedance of any water quality standard is anticipated; and (9) steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass.

For probable construction bypasses, the need to bypass is to be identified as early in the planning process as possible. The analysis required above must be considered during preparation of the engineering report or facilities plan and plans and specifications and must be included to the extent practical. In cases where the probable need to bypass is determined early, continued analysis is necessary up to and including the construction period in an effort to minimize or eliminate the bypass.

Ecology will consider the following prior to issuing an administrative order for this type bypass:

1. If the bypass is necessary to perform construction or maintenance-related activitiesessential to meet the requirements of this permit.

2. If there are feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatmentfacilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance during

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=173-201A-410

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=173-201A-410

G5 G9


normal periods of equipment down time, or transport of untreated wastes to another treatment facility.

3. If the bypass is planned and scheduled to minimize adverse effects on the public andthe environment.

After consideration of the above and the adverse effects of the proposed bypass and any other relevant factors, Ecology will approve or deny the request. The public must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on bypass incidents of significant duration, to the extent feasible. Approval of a request to bypass will be by administrative order issued by Ecology under RCW 90.48.120.

G6. RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND ENTRY

The Permittee must allow an authorized representative of Ecology, upon the presentation of credentials and such other documents as may be required by law:

A. To enter upon the premises where a discharge is located or where any records must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit.

B. To have access to and copy – at reasonable times and at reasonable cost – any records required to be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit.

C. To inspect – at reasonable times – any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control equipment), practices, methods, or operations regulated or required under this permit.

D. To sample or monitor – at reasonable times – any substances or parameters at any location for purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by the Clean Water Act.

G7. [RESERVED]

G8. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN COVERED ACTIVITIES

The Permittee must submit a new application for coverage whenever facility alterations (including expansions), production increases, or process modifications are anticipated that will:

A. Result in new or substantially changed discharges of pollutants; or

B. Violate the terms and conditions of this permit. This new application for coverage must be submitted at least 60 days prior to the proposed changes. Submission of the application for coverage does not relieve the Permittee of the duty to comply with the existing permit.

G9. PERMIT COVERAGE REVOKED

Pursuant with Chapter 43.21B RCW and Chapter 173-226 WAC, the Director may require any discharger authorized by this permit to apply for and obtain coverage under an

G17. REMOVED SUBSTANCES

Collected screenings, grit, solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters must not be resuspended or reintroduced to the final effluent stream for discharge to State waters.

G18. REQUESTS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER A GENERAL PERMIT

Any discharger authorized by this permit may request to be excluded from coverage under this general permit by applying for an individual permit. The discharger must submit to the Director an application as described in WAC 173-220-040 or WAC 173-216-070, whichever is applicable, with reasons supporting the request. The Director will either issue






G18 G21


an individual permit or deny the request with a statement explaining the reason for the denial. When an individual permit is issued to a discharger otherwise subject to this general permit, the applicability of this general permit to that Permittee is automatically terminated on the effective date of the individual permit.

G19. PERMIT TRANSFER

A. Coverage under this permit is automatically transferred to a new owner or operator if:

1. The Permittee notifies Ecology at least 30 days in advance of the proposed transferdate.

2. The notice includes a written agreement between the existing and new Permitteescontaining a specific date transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and liabilitybetween them.

3. Ecology does not notify the existing Permittee and the proposed new Permittee ofits intent to modify or revoke coverage under this permit.

B. Unless permit coverage is automatically transferred according to Section A above, this permit coverage may be transferred only if it is modified to identify the new Permittee and to incorporate such other requirements as determined necessary by Ecology.

C. When a current Permittee transfers control or ownership of a portion of a permitted site to another person, the current Permittee must also submit an application to Ecology per G8.

G20. DUTY TO REAPPLY

To reapply for coverage the Permittee must submit an application electronically using Ecology’s Water Quality Permitting Portal – Permit Coverage Notice of Intent (NOI) renewal application, unless the applicant applies for and receives an Electronic Reporting Waiver from Ecology. Applicants that have received a waiver from Ecology must submit a completed and signed renewal application to the appropriate regional Ecology office.

An expired permit continues in force and effect until a new permit is issued or until Ecology cancels it. Only those facilities which have reapplied for coverage under this permit are covered under the continued permit.

G21. UPSET

Definition – “Upset” means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

G21 G24


An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of the following paragraph are met.

A Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset must demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that: 1) an upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; 2) thepermitted facility was being properly operated at the time of the upset; 3) the Permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in condition S10.E) the Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under G30 of this permit.

Sand and Gravel General Permit – Draft 2014

Page 54

APPENDIX B — DEFINITIONS

These definitions are for terms that are used, or relate, to this permit. Defined terms appear in italics the first time they appear in the permit.

10-year, 24-hour Precipitation Event means the maximum 24 hour precipitation event with a probable reoccurrence interval of once in 10 years.

40 CFR means Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal government.

Active Site means a location where current mining (including site preparation and reclamation) or processing operations (including, but not limited to, crushing, classifying, or operating a concrete or hot mix asphalt plant) or stockpiles associated with current mining or processing operations, are located. AKART is an acronym for “all known, available, and reasonable methods of prevention, control, and treatment.” AKART represents the most current methodology that can be reasonably required for preventing, controlling, or abating the pollutants and controlling pollution associated with a discharge.

Application means a formal request for coverage, renewal of coverage, or modification of coverage, under this general permit using the electronic or paper form(s) developed by the Washington State Department of Ecology for that purpose. Also called a Notice of Intent (NOI). Ecology has developed multiple application forms for specific conditions (e.g. applications for portable facilities versus non-portable facilities, applications for coverage modifications due to significant process changes). Links to the appropriate application forms are available on Ecology’s website at: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/sand/index.html. The application forms are also available by request from Ecology’s regional offices. Applicable TMDL means a TMDL for turbidity, fine sediment or high pH which was completed and approved by EPA prior to the later effective date of this permit, or modification, or the date the operator’s complete application is received by Ecology.

Average Monthly Effluent Limit means the highest allowable average of daily discharges over a calendar month. To calculate the discharge value to compare to the limit, you add the value of each daily discharge measured during a calendar month and divide this sum by the total number of daily discharges measured.

Average Quarterly Effluent Limit means the highest allowable average of daily discharges over a quarter (3 months). To calculate the discharge value to compare to the limit, add the value of each daily discharge measured during a quarter and divide this sum by the total number of daily discharges measured.

Best Management Practices (BMPs) – general definition means schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other physical, structural and/or managerial practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the state. BMPs include treatment systems, operating procedures, and practices used to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, and drainage from raw material storage. In this permit BMPs




are further categorized as operational, source control, erosion and sediment control, and treatment.

Bypass means the diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility.

Capital BMPs means the following improvements that will require capital expenditures:

1. Treatment BMPs, including but not limited to: biofiltration systems including constructed wetlands, settling basins, oil separation equipment, impoundments, and detention and retention basins.

2. Manufacturing modifications, including process changes for source reduction, if capital expenditures for such modifications are incurred.

3. Concrete pads and dikes and appropriate pumping for collection of stormwater, process water or mine dewatering water and transfer to control systems from manufacturing areas such as loading, unloading, outside processing, fueling and storage of chemicals and equipment and wastes.

4. Roofs and appropriate covers for storage and handling areas.

Clean Water Act (CWA) means the Federal Water Pollution Control Act enacted by Public Law 92-500, as amended by Public Laws 95-217, 95-576, 96-483, and 97-117; USC 1251 et seq.

Closed Site means a location where all activities associated with permit coverage have been terminated with no intent to return to operation in the future. Concrete Recycling means the processing (including, but not limited to, crushing, fracturing, sorting, storing, stockpiling, grading, and washing) of hardened structural concrete to produce a reusable concrete product. Constructed Wetland means wetlands intentionally created for the primary purpose of wastewater or stormwater treatment and managed as such. Constructed wetlands are normally considered as part of the stormwater collection and treatment system. Wetlands constructed for treatment of stormwater are not be eligible for use as compensatory mitigation for authorized impacts to regulated wetland systems.

Critical Flows means the lowest receiving water flows at the time wastewater discharges occur. For process wastewater discharges which discharge from the site throughout the year, this is typically midsummer flow. For stormwater discharges this is the receiving water flow when significant stormwater begins to discharge from the site, typically early fall.

Current EPA-approved 303(d) list means the list which is in effect on the effective date of this permit, or the 303(d) list which is in effect at the date the Permittee’s first application for coverage is received by Ecology, whichever is later.

Design Storm means the precipitation event that is used to design stormwater facilities, e.g. 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Refer to Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual for specific information on requirements for determining design storm volume and flow rate appropriate for designing stormwater treatment systems.

Design Storm Volume means the volume of runoff predicted to occur from a specified storm event. The storm event includes a time interval (e.g. 24-hours) and frequency (e.g. 10-year).



Volume-based treatment BMPs use the design storm volume as their design basis. Refer to the Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for storm event and additional information.

Director means the Director of the Washington Department of Ecology or his/her authorized representative.

Discharge to Groundwater means the discharge of water into an unlined impoundment or onto the surface of the ground that allows the discharged water to percolate, or potentially percolate, to groundwater. Discharge to groundwater, discharge to land, and discharge to ground all have the same meaning.

Discharger means an owner or operator of any facility or activity subject to regulation under Chapter 90.48 RCW or the Federal Clean Water Act.

Discharge Point means the location where a discharge leaves the Permittee’s facility. Discharge point also includes the location where a discharge enters the ground on-site (e.g., through a Permittee’s treatment facilities/BMPs designed to infiltrate). Disturbed Area means any area where activity has physically disrupted, compacted, moved, or otherwise altered the characteristics of soil, bedrock, vegetation, or existing topography. This includes activity in preparation for: a) surface mining, b) the construction of structures or, c) mobilization of processing equipment. Stormwater discharge from disturbed areas is considered Type 2 Stormwater. Electronic Waiver Request means permission from Ecology to submit paper applications, submittals, and DMRs instead of submitting them electronically. Permittees must submit a completed “Electronic Waiver Request” form (ECY 070-381) to receive a waiver. Ecology typically only grants Electronic Waivers to permittees that do not have a computer, printer, or internet connection. Equivalent Stormwater Management Documents means manuals of BMPs approved by Ecology and subject to public review and comment.

Erosion means the wearing away of the land surface by precipitation, running water, ice, wind or other geological agents, including processes such as gravitational creep. Erosion also means the detachment and movement of soil or rock fragments by water, wind, ice or gravity.

Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs means BMPs intended to prevent erosion and sedimentation, such as preserving natural vegetation, seeding, mulching and matting, plastic covering, filter fences, and sediment traps and ponds. Erosion and sediment control BMPs are synonymous with stabilization and structural BMPs.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) means a document that describes the potential for erosion and sedimentation problems and explains and illustrates the measures to be taken to control those problems.

Existing Facility means a facility that begins activities that result in a discharge, or a potential discharge to waters of the state, prior to the effective date of the general permit.

Final Stabilization means completion of all soil disturbing activities at the site and establishment of a permanent vegetative cover, or installation of equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as riprap, gabions or geotextiles) that will prevent erosion.

gpm means gallons per minute; the volume of fluid passing a point during a one minute interval.

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=90.48




Groundwater means water in a saturated zone or stratum beneath the land surface or a surface water body.

Groundwater Discharges – If water puddles/collects and discharges to ground at multiple locations on site, it is unlikely that all locations must be sampled. Consider the source of the water. If all the water is coming from a gravel stockpile area it is likely that just one sampling point is required. However, if some discharge points receive runoff from a gravel stockpile area and others receiving water from a concrete batch area, two sample points are probably necessary.

Hot Mix Asphalt Plant means a plant that blends together aggregate and asphalt cement to produce a hot, homogeneous asphalt paving mixture. The term includes batch plants, continuous mix plants, and drum mix plants.

Impoundment means a location designed to or used purposely to infiltrate. The area behind a check dam is not considered an impoundment.

Inactive Site means a location where 1) previous mining or processing operations (including, but not limited to, crushing, classifying, or operating a concrete or hot mix asphalt plant) has occurred; and has not been closed and restored; and 2) has no current mining or processing operations but may include stockpiles of raw materials or finished products; and 3) the Permittee has submitted an Operating Status Change Form (ECY 070-33) declaring the site inactive. The Permittee may add or withdraw raw materials or finished products from the stockpiles for transportation off site for processing, use, or sale and still be considered an inactive site, however monitoring may be required. Inert means nonreactive, nondangerous solid materials that are likely to retain their physical and chemical structure under expected conditions of use or disposal.

Leachate means water or other liquid that has percolated through raw material, product, or waste and contains substances in solution or suspension as a result of the contact with these materials.

Local Government means any county, city, or town having its own government for local affairs.

Major Modification of Coverage means a change of operation at a facility that is not a Minor Modification. Public notice is required for this modification.

Maximum Daily Effluent Limit means the highest allowable daily discharge. The daily discharge means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day. For pollutants with limits expressed in units of mass, the daily discharge is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For other units of measurement, the daily discharge is the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. This does not apply to pH. Mine Dewatering Water means any water that is impounded or that collects in the mine and is pumped, drained, or otherwise removed from the mine through the efforts of the mine operator. This term must also include wet pit overflows caused solely by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage. However, if a mine is used for treatment of process generated waste water, discharges of commingled water from the mine must be deemed discharges of process generated water.




Minor Modification of Coverage means a change of operation at a facility that does not substantially change the volume or nature of pollutants. No public notice or new Application for Coverage is required for this modification.

Municipality means a political unit such as a city, town, or county, incorporated for local self-government.

NAICS means North American Industry Classification System.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) means the national program for issuing, modifying, revoking, and reissuing, terminating, monitoring, and enforcing permits, and imposing and enforcing pretreatment requirements, under sections 307, 402, 318, and 405 of the Federal Clean Water Act, for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters of the state from point sources. These permits are referred to as NPDES permits and, in Washington State, are administered by the Washington Department of Ecology.

Natural Conditions means surface water quality that was present before any human-caused pollution. When estimating natural conditions in the headwaters of a disturbed watershed it may be necessary to use the less disturbed conditions of a neighboring or similar watershed as a reference condition.

New Facility means a facility which begins activities that result in a discharge, or a potential discharge to waters of the state, on or after the effective date of this general permit.

Non-Delegated POTW means a POTW which has not been delegated to issue permits for industrial dischargers to its system. Ecology is the permitting authority for non-delegated POTWs.

Nonoperating means an inactive site that has reduced fees per WAC 173-224. NTU means Nephelometric Turbidity Units, a measure of turbidity. Outfall means a point where a discharge from a facility enters a receiving waterbody or receiving waters. pH – The pH of a liquid measures its acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7 is defined as neutral and large variations above or below this value are harmful to most aquatic life.

Point Source means any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including but not limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, and container from which pollutants are or may be discharged to waters of the state. This term does not include return flows from irrigated agriculture.

Pollutant means dredged spoil, solid waste, incinerator residue, filter backwash, sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, munitions, chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials, heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, and industrial, municipal, and agricultural waste. This term does not include sewage from vessels within the meaning of section 312 of the FWPCA, nor does it include dredged or fill material discharged in accordance with a permit issued under section 404 of the FWPCA.

Pollution means contamination or other alteration of the physical, chemical, or biological properties of waters of the state, including change in temperature, taste, color, turbidity, or odor of the waters; or such discharge of any liquid, gaseous, solid, radioactive or other substance into any waters of the state as will or is likely to create a nuisance or render such waters harmful,

http://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=173-224



detrimental or injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, or to domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational, or other legitimate beneficial uses, or to livestock, wild animals, birds, fish, or other aquatic life.

Portable Facility means a specific portable concrete batch plant, portable asphalt batch plant, or portable rock crusher. POTW means publically-owned treatment works. This is a sewage treatment plant and the collection system (40 CFR 122.2).

Process Water means any water that is used for or results from the production, clean-up, or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, or waste product. The term also means any waste water used in or results from the slurry transport of mined material, air emissions control, or processing exclusive of mining. Receiving Water means the waterbody at the point of discharge. If the discharge is to a stormwater conveyance system, either surface or subsurface, the receiving water is the waterbody that the stormwater conveyance system discharges to. Systems designed primarily for other purposes such as for groundwater drainage, redirecting stream natural flows, or for conveyance of irrigation water/return flows that coincidentally convey stormwater are considered the receiving water.

Reclamation means the rehabilitation of disturbed areas resulting from surface or underground mining; typically per a Department of Natural Resources Reclamation plan. Representative Sampling means collecting an array of samples to accurately represent the nature of the discharge for parameters of concern. Many factors contribute to variability of pollutants in a discharge including quantity of water, time and date of sampling, and physical events and location of discharge.

Returned asphalt means hot mix asphalt that was brought back to the hot mix asphalt plant after being sent to a job site. Returned asphalt does not include asphalt that was installed and allowed to cool.

Sanitary Sewer means a sewer designed to convey domestic wastewater. Sediment means the fragmented material that originates from the weathering and erosion of rocks or unconsolidated deposits and is transported by, suspended in, or deposited by water.

Sedimentation means the depositing or formation of sediment.

SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) means the Washington State Law, RCW 43.21C.020, intended to prevent or eliminate damage to the environment.

Severe Property Damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.

Significant Process Change means a change in the nature of discharge with respect to increased volume and type or concentrations of pollutants. Examples include adding a batch plant at a site, etc.


http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=43.21C.020



Significant Amounts means those amounts of pollutants that are amenable to treatment or prevention or that have the potential to cause or contribute to a violation of standards for surface or groundwater quality or sediment management.

Significant Materials includes, but is not limited to: raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents and detergents; hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of CERCLA; any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of title III of SARA; fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater or process water discharges.

Silvicultural Point Sources are timber tract and logging activities (SIC codes 0811 and 2411) that produce mined materials for use in forest management. Additionally, silvicultural point source activities are limited to rock crushing or gravel washing operations that use a discernible, confined and discrete conveyance to discharge pollutants to surface waters of the state. Site means the land or water area where any facility or activity is physically located or conducted.

Source Control BMPs means physical, structural, or mechanical devices or facilities intended to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater. A few examples of source control BMPs are erosion control practices, maintenance of stormwater facilities, construction of roofs over storage and working areas, and direction of wash water and similar discharges to the sanitary sewer or a dead end sump.

Stabilization means the application of appropriate BMPs to prevent the erosion of soils, such as temporary and permanent seeding, vegetative covers, mulching and matting, plastic covering, and sodding. See also the definition of Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is the statistical classification standard underlying all establishment-based federal economic statistics classified by industry as reported in the 1987 SIC Manual by the Office of Management and Budget.

Storm Sewer means a sewer that is designed to carry stormwater. Also called a storm drain.

Stormwater means rainfall and snowmelt runoff.

Stormwater Drainage System means constructed and natural features that function together as a system to collect, convey, channel, hold, inhibit, retain, detain, infiltrate, or divert stormwater. Stormwater Management Manuals (SWMM) means the most current edition8 of the technical manuals [Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) and Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW)] prepared by Ecology for use by local governments that contains BMPs to prevent, control, or treat pollution in stormwater. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) means a documented plan to implement measures to identify, prevent, and control the contamination of point source discharges of stormwater.

8 Most current edition at the date of permit issuance.



Substantial Change (Requiring a new application for coverage) – Substantial change of discharge for this industry group will be any modification of the facility that would change the characteristics of the discharge or include for coverage a new activity that was not previously covered.

Surface Water Discharges – For all parameters required by this permit, a grab sample of instantaneous measurement will be considered representative. Stormwater sampling should occur within 24 hours of the initial discharge from a significant precipitation event (e.g. 0.25 inch/24 hr. precipitation event). Process water or mine dewatering water sampling should be timed to occur when the facility is operating at full capacity.

Surface Waters of the State includes lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, wetlands, inland waters, salt waters, and all other surface waters and water courses within the jurisdiction of the state of Washington.

Total Daily Maximum Load (TMDL) means a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet State water quality standards. Percentages of the total maximum daily load are allocated to the various pollutant sources. A TMDL is the sum of the allowable loads of a single pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoint sources. The TMDL calculations must include a "margin of safety" to ensure that the waterbody can be protected in case there are unforeseen events or unknown sources of the pollutant. The calculation must also account for seasonable variation in water quality. A TMDL is effective after EPA approval. TMDL as used in this permit includes alternative “direct to implementation plans”.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) means those solids that are capable of passing through a glass fiber filter (1.0 – 1.5 µm) and dried to a constant weight at 180 degrees centigrade.

Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is the particulate material in an effluent that does not pass through a glass fiber filter. Large quantities of TSS discharged to a receiving water may result in solids accumulation. Apart from any toxic effects attributable to substances leached out by water, suspended solids may kill fish, shellfish, and other aquatic organisms by causing abrasive injuries and by clogging the gills and respiratory passages of various aquatic fauna. Indirectly, suspended solids can screen out light and can promote and maintain the development of noxious conditions through oxygen depletion.

Treatment BMPs means BMPs intended to remove pollutants from stormwater. A few examples of treatment BMPs are detention ponds, oil/water separators, biofiltration, and constructed wetlands.

Turbidity means the clarity of water as expressed by nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) and measured with a calibrated turbidimeter.

Type 1 Stormwater means stormwater from portions of a site where no industrial activities have occurred or from a site or area within a site that has been reclaimed and the reclamation bond portion thereof (if any) has been released.

Type 2 Stormwater means stormwater from: 1) portions of a site where mining has temporarily or permanently ceased; or 2) from portions of a site with exposed soils in areas cleared in preparation for mining or other industrial activity. When different types of stormwater



commingle the water becomes the highest of the types which have commingled (i.e. when Type 1 and Type 2 stormwater commingle the stormwater becomes Type 2).

Type 3 Stormwater means stormwater discharges from:

1. Industrial plant yards;

2. Immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or by-products used or created by the facility;

3. Material handling sites; 4. Sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment;

5. Sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal;

6. Shipping and receiving areas;

7. Storage areas for raw materials or intermediate and finished products at active sites; and

8. Areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to stormwater.

USEPA means the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Wasteload Allocation (WLA) means the portion of a receiving water’s loading capacity that is allocated to one of its existing or future point sources of pollution. WLAs constitute a type of water quality based effluent limitation (40 CFR 130.2(h)).

Wastewater means water or liquid carried waste from industrial or commercial processes. These wastes may result from any process or activity of industry, manufacture, trade or business, or from the development of any natural resource. Examples include, but are not limited to, process water, mine dewatering water, and industrial stormwater (type 2 and 3 stormwater). Water Quality means the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water, normally with respect to its suitability for a particular purpose.

Waters of the State includes those waters as defined as “waters of the United States” in 40 CFR Subpart 122.2 within the geographic boundaries of Washington State and “waters of the state” as defined in Chapter 90.48 RCW. This includes groundwater, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, wetlands, inland waters, salt waters and all other surface waters and water courses within the jurisdiction of the State of Washington.

Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) means the portion of a well’s, well field’s, or spring’s zone of contribution defined as such using WHPA criteria established by the Washington Department of Health.
