RE: Stormwater Management Plan
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
To Whom It May Concern:
Northern Engineering Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this Stormwater Management Plan for
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four. This report outlines Best Management Practices (BMPs) to
be implemented with the proposed construction in order to minimize potential pollutants in
stormwater discharges.
We have prepared this report to accompany the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment General Permit for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Construction Activities (aka,
Stormwater Discharge Permit or SDP). The General Permit No. for this SDP is (to be filled-in by
permittee) and the Certification No. for this SDP is (to be filled-in by permittee). The Permit
Certification is Effective beginning (to be filled-in by permittee), and initial certification expires (to be
filled-in by permittee). A copy of the issuance cover letter can be found in the Appendix D of this
document (to be provided by permittee).
Please note: this Stormwater Management plan (including the Site Maps) is not a static document.
It is a dynamic device that should be kept current and logged as construction takes place. As such,
this version was prepared to facilitate initial plan approvals and permitting, but does not necessarily
reflect the final version, or the transitions throughout the construction process. As the site develops
and changes, the Contractor is expected and encouraged to make changes to what is contained
herein so that the SWMP works as effectively and efficiently as possible. It shall be the
responsibility of the SWMP Administrator and/or the permit holder (or applicant thereof) to ensure
the plan is properly maintained and followed.
If you should have any questions or comments as you review this report, please feel free to contact
us at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Stormwater Management Plan 1
1.0 General Requirements
1.1 Objectives
The objective of a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to identify all potential sources of
pollution likely to occur as a result of construction activity associated with the site construction, and
to describe the practices that will be used to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges from
the site. The SWMP must be completed and implemented at the time the project breaks ground,
and revised as necessary as construction proceeds to accurately reflect the conditions and practices
at the site.
This report summarizes the Stormwater Management Plan for the construction activity that will
occur with Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four in Fort Collins, CO. This plan has been prepared
according to regulations of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE),
Water Quality Control Division.
1.2 SMWP Availability
This report is intended to remain on the aforementioned construction site to allow for maintenance
and inspection updates, and for review during inspection.
1.3 Definitions
BMP – Best Management Practice encompassing a wide range of erosion and sediment control
practices, both structural and non-structural in nature, which are intended to reduce or eliminate
any possible water quality impacts from stormwater leaving a construction site.
Erosion Control BMPs – Practices that PREVENT the erosion of soil, such as minimizing the amount
of disturbed area through phasing, temporary stabilization, and preserving existing vegetation
Sediment Control BMP’s – Practices to REMOVE sediment from runoff, such as sediment basins,
silt fence, or inlet protection.
Non-structural BMP’s – The implementation of methods, practices, and procedures to minimize
water quality impacts, such as the preservation of natural vegetation, preventive maintenance and
spill response procedures.
Structural BMP’s – Physical devices that prevent or minimize water quality impacts, such as
sediment basins, inlet protection, or silt fence.
1.4 Additional Permitting
As mentioned above, this Stormwater Management Plan is associated with the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment Stormwater Permit that is issued by the Water
Quality Control Division of the CDPHE. Additional Environmental permitting not described in this
report may be required as a part of this project. An example is the Construction Dewatering Permit
for groundwater. Another example is the Air Pollution Emission Notice (APEN). The CDPHE
website contains links to both of these permits, as well as many other potential permits. The
Contractor is responsible for ensuring the proper permits are acquired.

Stormwater Management Plan 2
2.0 Narrative Site Description
2.1 Existing Site Description
The project site is located in Section 15, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th Principal
Meridian, in the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. The existing site is fully developed
with a vacant fraternity house on the west (Lot 2 – 1409 W. Elizabeth), a drive-thru Wendy’s
restaurant on the east (Lot 1 – 1405 W. Elizabeth), and associated asphalt parking, drive aisles,
and perimeter landscaping.
2.2 Nature of Construction Activity
The proposed redevelopment will start with demolition of the existing structure at 1409 W.
Elizabeth Street. Existing sidewalks, parking, and drive aisles will be removed and replaced. The
impetus of the project is the construction of a new three-story apartment building on Lot 2. New
utility services will be installed to support the multi-family structure. Construction includes new
PVC storm drains and a rain garden to properly manage and treat developed stormwater runoff from
the project.
2.3 Sequence of Major Activities
To complete the project, many basic categories of construction activity will take place. As
previously mentioned, the first part of the project will consist of the necessary demolition and
removals. This will be followed by utility installation and foundation excavation. Vertical
construction of the apartment building will commence after foundation and underground work is
complete. New curb/gutter, paving, and sidewalks are expected to begin after the building is dried
in and trades move inside. The final stages of site construction will be fine grading of the areas
around the buildings, and the installation of landscaping throughout the project. Site work
impacting parking and traffic flow on Lot 1 will be closely coordinated with Wendy’s. The
aforementioned sequencing is an initial best guess, and is subject to change at the Contractor’s
discretion.
2.4 Site Disturbance
The entire project boundary, including the Wendy’s lot, is approximately 1.15 acres. However, the
total disturbed area affected by the various construction activities associated with this project is
smaller, encompassing roughly 0.73 ac. Site disturbance is essentially limited to the removal and
replacement of existing structures and pavements. There is no significant site grading or cuts/fills.
2.5 Existing Data
In order to complete the associated construction plans, a topographical survey of the site was
completed. This survey consisted of field measurements made by Washburn Land Surveying on
November 18, 2010. Additional field work was completed in January of 2012.
In addition to the field survey, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey was
used to determine existing soil types found on-site. According to the NRCS Soil Survey, the site
consists primarily of Altvan-Satanta loam and Nunn clay loam. The Altvan-Satanta loam is
classified as Hydrologic Soil Group B, while the Nunn clay loam is classified as Hydrologic Soil
Group C.

Stormwater Management Plan 3
More site-specific exploration was performed by Soilogic, Inc. Detailed results from said
investigation are contained in the Geotechnical Exploration Report, 1409 West Elizabeth Street
Apartments (Soilogic Project No. 12-1011) dated February 16, 2012, and any subsequent
addenda.
2.6 Existing Vegetation
The existing site is over 95% covered with hard surfaces (rooftop, paving, etc.) and established
landscaping, which allows minimum surface erosion. It is highly recommended that pre-
construction photos be taken to clearly document vegetative conditions prior any disturbance
activities.
2.7 Potential Pollution Sources
As is typical with most construction sites, there are a number of potential pollution sources which
could affect water quality. It is not possible for this report to identify all materials that will be used
or stored on the construction site. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to identify and
properly handle all materials that are potential pollution sources. The following are some common
examples of potential pollution sources:
Exposed and stored soils
Management of contaminated soils
Off-site tracking of soils and sediment
Loading and unloading operations
Outdoor storage of building materials, fertilizers, chemicals, etc.
Vehicle and equipment maintenance and fueling
Significant dust or particulate generating processes
Routine maintenance activities involving fertilizers, pesticides, detergents, fuels, solvents, oils, etc.
On-site waste disposal practices (waste piles, dumpsters, etc.)
Concrete truck/equipment washing
Non-industrial waste sources that may be significant, such as worker trash and portable toilets
Uncovered trash bins
Other areas or procedures where potential spills can occur
Stockpiling of materials that can be transported to receiving waterway(s)
2.8 Non-stormwater discharges
The Stormwater Construction Permit only covers discharges composed entirely of stormwater.
Exceptions include emergency fire fighting activities, landscape irrigation return flow,
uncontaminated springs, construction dewatering (caused by storm events) and concrete washout
water. Proper treatment and use of BMPs is still required for these exceptions when available.
The discharge of pumped stormwater, ONLY, from excavations, ponds, depressions, etc. to surface
waters, or to a municipal storm sewer system is allowed by the Stormwater Construction Permit, as
long as the dewatering activity and associated BMPs are identified in the Stormwater Management
Plan (SWMP) and are implemented in accordance with the SWMP.
Aside from the exceptions noted above, non-stormwater discharges must be addressed in a separate
permit issued for that discharge. If groundwater is encountered, and dewatering is required, a
Construction Dewatering Permit must be acquired from the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment. A copy of the dewatering permit application and instructions has been included
with Appendix D.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 4
2.9 Receiving Waters
Stormwater runoff from the project area will generally drain into the new rain garden to be
constructed with this development. The rain garden will discharge to the north via an existing 12”
RCP storm drain, which connects to the public storm sewer on the south side of Elizabeth Street.
This City storm sewer conveys stormwater to the east, through the CSU campus, thence south in
Center Avenue before discharging to the east near Bay Road into Spring Creek, which is located
approximately 1.7 miles downstream from the project. Once flows reach Spring Creek, they flow
east approximately 3.5 miles to the Poudre River. From there, they travel approximate 32 miles
east, where they reach the South Platte River. This drainage pattern follows the historic drainage
course.
3.0 Stormwater Management Controls
3.1 SWMP Administrator
A SWMP Administrator must be designated in conjunction with the Stormwater Permit. This person
shall be responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the SWMP. The
SWMP Administrator will also be the contact for all SWMP-related issues and will be the person
responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and implementation of the SWMP. The Administrator
should be a person with authority to adequately manage and direct day-to-day stormwater quality
management activities at the site.
The SWMP Administrator for this site is:
Name: (to be filled-in by permittee)
Company: (to be filled-in by permittee)
Phone: (to be filled-in by permittee)
E-mail: (to be filled-in by permittee)
3.2 Best Management Practices (BMP’s) for Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Beginning from mobilization, and throughout the entire construction of the project, erosion control
devices shall be installed to ensure minimal pollutant migration. These erosion control devices may
be installed in phases, or not at all, depending on actual conditions encountered at the site. It is
the responsibility of the Contractor to make the ultimate determination as to what practices should
be employed and when.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are loosely defined as a method, activity, maintenance
procedure, or other management practice for reducing the amount of pollution entering a water
body. The term originated from rules and regulations in Section 208 of the Clean Water Act.
Details for Structural and Non-Structural BMPs have been included in Appendix B. These details
should be used for additional information on installation and maintenance of BMPs specified in this
report. It is also intended to serve as a resource for additional BMPs that may be appropriate for
the site that have not specifically been mentioned in the report.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 5
3.3 Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control
Structural BMPs are physical devices that are implemented to prevent erosion from happening or to
limit erosion once it occurs. These devices can be temporary or permanent, and installation of
individual components will vary depending on the stage of construction.
A table depicting construction sequence and BMP application/removal has been placed on the
“Dynamic Site Plan” to help document the implementation of these BMPs. Refer to the Stormwater
Management Plan Static Site Plan in the Appendix for the assumed location of all BMPs.
Construction Details for Temporary BMPs are located in the Appendix for reference.
Again, the final determination for which BMP’s will be installed, where they will be located, and
when they will be installed shall be made by the Contractor, along with all documentation
throughout the construction process.
Silt Fencing (Phase I)
Silt fencing shall be provided to prevent migration of sediment off-site or into adjacent properties.
All silt fencing shall be installed prior to any land disturbing activity (demolition, stockpiling,
stripping, grading, etc.). Silt fencing is to be installed prior to site excavation or earthwork
activities.
Inspections of the silt fence should identify tears or holes in the material, and should check for
slumping fence or undercut areas that allow flows to bypass the fencing. Damaged sections of
fencing should be repaired or replaced to ensure proper functioning. Sediment accumulated behind
the silt fence should be removed to maintain BMP effectiveness, typically before it reaches a depth
of 6 inches.
At a minimum, it is suggested that silt fencing shall be located along the western and northern
limits of disturbance. Silt fencing can installed in conjunction with/adjacent to construction or
security fencing. Sediment Control Logs may also be substituted in lieu of silt fencing, as
appropriate. See below for a description of Sediment Control Logs.
Sediment Control Log – aka “Straw Wattles” (Phase I)
A Sediment Control Log is a linear roll made of natural materials, such as straw, coconut fiber, or
other fibrous material trenched into the ground and held with a wooden stake. Sediment Control
Logs can be used in many instances. Examples include perimeter control for stockpiles, as part of
inlet protection designs, as check dams in small drainage ways, on disturbed slopes to shorten flow
lengths, or in lieu of silt fencing (where appropriate).
Sediment Control Logs should be inspected for excess sediment accumulation. Sediment should be
removed prior to reaching half the height of the log.
At a minimum, Sediment Control Logs should be used around soil stockpiles (including landscape
material) and around the rain garden to prevent sediment from clogging the filter section during
construction.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 6
Vehicle Tracking Control Pads (Phase I)
Vehicle tracking control pads shall be provided to minimize tracking of mud and sediment onto
paved surfaces and neighboring roadways. All vehicle tracking control pads shall be installed prior
to any land disturbing activity (demolition – as necessary, stockpiling, stripping, grading, etc.).
Location of vehicle tracking control pads will be located at any and all existing and future vehicle
accesses being used during any of the construction phases. These locations will primarily be
dictated by gates or openings in the temporary construction fencing that is expected to be installed.
Vehicle tracking control pads are to be installed prior to demolition (as appropriate), site excavation
or earthwork activities.
Vehicle tracking pads should be inspected for degradation and aggregate material should be
replaced as needed. If the area becomes clogged with water, excess sediment should be removed.
Aggregate material should remain rough, and at no point should aggregate be allowed to compact in
a manner that causes the tracking pad to stop working as intended.
Suggested locations for vehicle tracking pads are at the access to the site from West Elizabeth
Street and at the private drive to the west.
Inlet Protection (Phase I & II)
Inlet protection shall be provided for existing inlets to prevent sediment transport from adjacent
earthwork disturbance. Installation of these filters shall occur before adjacent earth disturbing
activities (Phase I implementation). Wattle type filters are to be implemented for new and existing
inlets where asphalt does not exist. For these inlets, if pavement is constructed adjacent to the
structure or if the area adjacent to the inlet is changed such that the wattle type filter is no longer
effective, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that an appropriate method is
used instead. For example, the wattle filter could be reused, or a gravel-block inlet filter may be
installed. It will be left to the discretion of the Contractor as to whether replacement of any inlet
filter is necessary.
Inlet protection should be inspected regularly for tears that can result in sediment entering an inlet.
Inlet protection should also be inspected for sediment accumulation upstream of the inlet, and
sediment should be removed when the less than half of the capacity is available, or per
manufacturer specifications.
The existing inlet in the parking lot will need protection. The Contractor shall also provide inlet
protection for all newly constructed inlets, drain basins, and rain gardens as they are built (Phase II
implementation).
Concrete Washout Area (Phase II)
A concrete washout should be provided on the site. The washout can be lined or unlined excavated
pits in the ground, commercially manufactured prefabricated containers, or aboveground holding
areas. The concrete washout must be located a minimum of 400 feet from any natural drainage
way or body of water, and at least 1000 feet from any wells or drinking water sources. Washout
areas should not be located in an area where shallow groundwater may be present. Contractor
shall clearly show the desired location and access to the Concrete Washout Area on the Stormwater
Management Plan - Dynamic Site Plan. Contractor shall place a Vehicle Tracking Pad if the
selected location for the Concrete Washout Area is detached from pavement. Clear signage
identifying the concrete washout should also be provided.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 7
The Concrete Washout Area should be inspected regularly. Particular attention should be paid to
signage to ensure that the area is clearly marked. Confirmation that the washout is being used
should also be noted to ensure that other undesignated areas of the site are not being used
incorrectly as a concrete washout.
An appropriate location for the concrete washout area is located near the trash enclosure at the
southwest corner of the site. This location is a suggestion only, and can be relocated at the
discretion of the Contractor.
Riprap (Phase II)
Considered a permanent BMP, riprap pads will be provided to prevent long term erosion and scour
at the outlets of storm lines and other critical scour locations. Riprap pads will be placed at the
specified roof drain outfall and at the trench drain outfall into the rain garden as soon as possible
following construction of the respective facility. The riprap pads will be inspected regularly and any
required maintenance will be performed as discussed in subsequent sections.
Permanent/Established Vegetation (Phase IV)
Permanent or established vegetation and landscaping is considered a permanent form of sediment
and erosion control for common open spaces, steep slopes and areas not exposed to prolonged
scour velocities, or acute incipient motion bed shear stresses that will create soil erosion, rill
formation and subsequent sediment transport. Areas where the previous conditions apply will
contain sufficient permanent BMPs, such as riprap or cobble mulch. Permanent vegetation shall
conform to the approved Landscape Plan prepared by Russell+Mills Studios.
Permanent/Established vegetation and hardscape defines Phase IV of development.
Bioretention Basins – aka, Rain Gardens (Phase IV)
Rain Gardens use multiple treatment processes to remove pollutants, including sedimentation,
filtering, adsorption, evapotranspiration, and biological uptake of constituents. Volumetric
stormwater treatment is provided within portions of a site that are already reserved for landscaping.
There is a potential reduction of irrigation requirements by taking advantage of site runoff.
Proper construction of rain gardens involves careful attention to material specifications, final grades,
and construction details. The Contractor shall protect rain gardens from excessive sediment loading
during construction. The portion of the site draining to the rain garden must be stabilized before
allowing flow into the rain garden. This includes completion of paving operations. The Contractor
shall provide adequate construction staking to ensure that the site properly drains into the facility.
Ongoing maintenance of rain gardens is critical to their long-term viability and continued function.
This involves routine inspection, debris and litter removal, mowing/plant care, irrigation
management, mulch replacement, sediment removal, and monitoring the growing media for
potential replacement.
3.4 Non-Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control
Non-Structural BMPs are practices or activities that are implemented to prevent erosion from
happening or to limit erosion once it occurs. These BMPs can be a practice resulting in physical
change to the site, such as mulching or slope stabilization. They can also result in behavioral
changes on the site, such as changes to construction phasing to minimize exposure to weather
elements, or increased employee awareness gained through training.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 8
Protection of Existing Vegetation (Phases I-IV)
Protection of existing vegetation on a construction site can be accomplished through installation of a
construction fence around the area requiring protection. In cases where up-gradient areas are
disturbed, it may also be necessary to install perimeter controls to minimize sediment loading to
sensitive areas such as wetlands.
Trees that are to remain after construction is complete must be protected. Most tree roots grow
within the top 12”-18” of soil, and soil compaction is a significant threat to tree health. As such,
particular care should be taken to avoid activities within the drip-line of the tree. Direct equipment
damage should also be prevented. The most effective way to ensure the health of trees is to
establish a protection zone at the drip-line of the tree to prevent unintended activity in the area
directly surrounding the tree.
Fencing should be inspected and repaired when needed. If damage occurs to a tree, an arborist
should be consulted on how to care for the tree. If a tree is damage beyond repair, the City Forester
should be consulted on remediation measures.
At a minimum, all trees identified for retention on the plans by Russell+Mills Studious should be
protected, as should the existing vegetation surrounding the Wendy’s building.
Stockpile Management (Phases I-III)
Stockpile management should be utilized to minimize erosion and sediment transport from soil
stockpiles. In general, soil stockpiles should be located a minimum of 100 feet from any drainage
way and 50 feet from any storm sewer inlets. Where practical, choose a stockpile location that will
remain undisturbed for the longest period of time as the phases of construction progress. Sediment
control BMPs should be placed around the perimeter of the stockpile, and a designated access point
on the upstream side of the stockpile should be identified. BMPs such as surface roughening,
temporary seeding, mulching, erosion control blankets, or soil binders should be used to stabilize
the stockpile surface.
As a part of stockpile management, regular inspections of the perimeter controls should be
completed. If BMPs have been utilized to stabilize the surface of the stockpile, they should be
inspected and repaired as needed.
While significant soil stockpiles are not expected with this project, it is possible that foundation
excavation or the delivery landscaping material may generate temporary stockpiles. An appropriate
location for any such soil stockpiles may be the area near the trash enclosure at the southwest
corner of the property. This location is a suggestion only, and can be relocated at the discretion of
the Contractor.
Wind Erosion/Dust Control (Phase I-IV)
Wind Erosion and Dust Control BMP’s help to keep soil particles from entering the air as a result of
land disturbing construction activities. Examples include use of a water truck or irrigation/sprinkler
system to wet the top layer of disturbed soil, seeding and mulching, soil binders, or wind fences.
If a water truck or irrigation/sprinkler system is utilized, monitoring to ensure that sufficient water is
applied is crucial to ensuring soil particles don’t become airborne. Equally important is monitoring
for overwatering, as too much water can lead to increased erosion.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 9
Good Housekeeping Practices (All phases)
Good housekeeping practices that will prevent pollution associated with solid, liquid, and hazardous
construction-related materials and wastes should be implemented throughout the project.
Examples of good housekeeping include providing an appropriate location for waste management
containers, establishing proper building material staging areas, designating paint and concrete
washout areas, establishing proper equipment/vehicle fueling and maintenance practices.
Development of a spill prevention and response plan is another example of Good Housekeeping
practices that should be used on the project. The following items are detailed examples of some of
the good housekeeping practices that should be utilized throughout the project. It should be noted
that a complete list of practices and detailed discussion regarding good housekeeping has been
included with Appendix B, sheets GH-1 – GH-6.
Street Sweeping and Vacuuming – Street sweeping and vacuuming should be used to remove
sediment that has been tracked onto adjacent roadways. Roadways should be inspected at least
once a day, and sediment should be removed as needed. A check of inlet protection should be
completed after sweeping to ensure nothing was displaced during sweeping operations.
Waste Management – Designate trash and bulk waste collection areas on-site. When possible,
materials should be recycled. Hazardous material waste should be segregated from other solid
waste. Waste collection areas should be located away from streets, gutters, watercourses, and
storm drains. Dumpsters should be located near site entrances to minimize traffic on disturbed
soils, and they should be placed on a level soil surface.
Establish Proper Building Material Handling and Staging areas – Clearly designate site areas for
staging and storage of building materials. Provide appropriate BMPs to ensure that spills or leaks
are contained.
Establish Proper Equipment/Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance Practices – If needed, create a
clearly designated on-site fueling and maintenance area that is clean and dry. Provide appropriate
BMPs to ensure that spills or leaks are contained.
3.5 Phased BMP Installation
It is important to recognize the four (4) major Development Phases as defined by the State of
Colorado’s Stormwater Discharge Permit (SDP). These four development phases (referred to as
Sequencing by the City of Fort Collins) have been distinguished to aid in the appropriate timing of
installation/implementation of BMPs at different stages of the construction process. These phases
are described as follows:
Phase I – Grading Stage; BMPs for initial installation of perimeter controls
Phase II – Infrastructure Stage; BMPs for utility, paving and curb installation
Phase III – Vertical Construction Stage; BMPs for individual building construction.
Phase IV – Permanent BMPs and final site stabilization.
The following is a rough estimate of the anticipated construction sequence for site improvements.
The schedule outlined below is subject to change as the project progresses and as determined by
the General Contractor.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 10
Table 1 – Preliminary Permit and Construction Schedule
Included in the back map pockets are five Site Plans: a “Static” Site Plan and four “Dynamic” Site
Plans (one for each phase of construction). The “Static” plan serves to display the overall
management plan all at once. However, proper implementation of BMPs does not occur at once,
and certain BMPs may move location in the construction process; therefore, the “Dynamic” Site
Plans are intended for the Contractor to write in the BMP symbols to document the location and
time the BMPs are installed and maintained throughout the entire construction process.
3.6 Material Handling and Spill Prevention
Potential pollution sources, as discussed in earlier sections, are to be to be identified by the
Contractor. Spill prevention procedures are to be determined and put in place prior to construction
by the Contractor. A spill and flooding response procedure must also be determined and put in
place prior to construction by the Contractor. Additionally, steps should be taken to reduce the
potential for leaks and spills to come in contact with stormwater runoff, such as storing and
handling toxic materials in covered areas or by storing chemicals within berms or other secondary
containment devices.
A notification procedure must be put in place by the Contractor, by which workers would first notify
the site construction superintendent, who would then notify the SWMP Administrator. Depending
on the severity of the spill, the site construction superintendent and SWMP Administrator would
possibly notify the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment - Water Quality Control
Division, downstream water users, or other appropriate agencies. The release of any chemical, oil,
petroleum product, sewage, etc., which enter waters of the State of Colorado (which include
surface water, ground water, and dry gullies or storm sewers leading to surface water) must be
reported immediately to the Division’s emergency spill reporting line at (877) 518-5608. All
spills that will require cleanup, even if the spill is minor and does not need to be reported to the
state, should still be reported to the City of Fort Collins Utilities office at 970-221-6700.
While not expected with this project, it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to designate a
fueling area and take the necessary precautions to ensure that no stormwater pollution occurs in the
event that a fueling area is needed. Fueling areas shall be located a minimum 100 feet from all
drainage courses. A 12-inch high compacted earthen ridge capable of retaining potential spills
shall enclose fueling areas. Other secondary containment devices can be used instead of the
earthen ridge. The area shall be covered with a non-porous lining to prevent soil contamination.
Printed instructions for cleanup procedures shall be posted in the fueling area and appropriate fuel
absorbents shall be available along with containers for used absorbents within the fueling area.

Stormwater Management Plan 11
3.7 Dedicated Concrete or Asphalt Batch Plant
There are not any dedicated concrete or asphalt batch plants anticipated with this project. In the
event that a plant is needed, the Contractor should be aware that additional permitting will be
required. In particular, an Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN) will need to be obtained from the
CDPHE.
3.8 Vehicle Tracking Control
In addition to the vehicle tracking pads discussed previously, additional measures can be taken to
minimize and control sediment discharges from the site due to vehicle tracking. These measures
can include fencing around the site to control access points. Regular street sweeping can also be
used to minimize the transmission of sediment from the site due to vehicles leaving the site. The
use of gravel parking areas and wash racks can also be implemented to ensure minimal vehicle
tracking from the site.
3.9 Waste Management and Disposal
It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to designate a concrete truck chute washout area and
to clearly identify that area. Detailed information about the design and maintenance of the Concrete
Washout can be found under the Structural Practices section of this report. At no time should
untreated wash water be allowed to discharge from the site or to enter a storm drain system or
stream. Upon completion of construction activities the concrete washout material shall be removed
and properly disposed of prior to the area being restored.
Any waste material that currently exists on the site or that is generated by construction will be
disposed of in such a manner as to not cause pollutants in stormwater discharges. If waste is to be
stored on-site, it shall be in an area located a minimum of 100 feet from all drainage courses.
Whenever waste is not stored in a non-porous container, it shall be in an area enclosed by a 12-
inch high compacted earthen ridge or some other approved secondary containment device. The area
shall be covered with a non-porous lining to prevent soil contamination. Whenever precipitation is
predicted, the waste shall be covered with a non-porous cover, anchored on all sides to prevent its
removal by wind, in order to prevent precipitation from leaching out potential pollutants from the
waste. On-site waste disposal practices, such as dumpsters, should be covered or otherwise
contained as to prevent dispersion of waste materials from wind. It shall also be the responsibility
of the Contractor to maintain a clean jobsite as to prevent dispersion of waste material and potential
pollutants into adjacent properties or waterways.
The location of, and protective measures for, temporary restroom facilities shall be the responsibility
of the SWMP Administrator.
3.10 Groundwater and Stormwater Dewatering
The BMPs selected for construction dewatering vary depending on the site-specific features, such as
soils, topography, discharge quantities, and discharge location. Typically, dewatering involves
pumping water from an inundated area to a BMP, prior to the water being released downstream
into a receiving waterway, sediment basin, or well-vegetated area. Acceptable BMPs included
discharging water into a sediment trap or basin, using a dewatering filter bag, or using a series of
sediment logs. A settlement tank or an active treatment system can also be utilized. Another
commonly used method to handle the pumped water is the “sprinkler method,” which involves
applying the water to vegetated areas through a perforated discharge hose. Dispersal from a water
truck for dust control can also be used to disperse the pumped water.

Stormwater Management Plan 12
4.0 Final Stabilization and Long-Term Stormwater Management
4.1 Final Stabilization
All disturbed areas will be seeded, crimped and mulched. As defined by the Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment in the General Permit Application for Stormwater Discharges,
“Final stabilization is reached when all soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed,
and uniform vegetative cover has been established with a density of at least 70 percent of pre-
disturbance levels or equivalent permanent, physical erosion reduction methods have been
employed.”
4.2 Long-Term Stormwater Management
The primary method of long-term stormwater management will be the installation of the rain
garden. The rain garden utilizes multiple treatment processes to remove pollutants, including
sedimentation, filtering, adsorption, evapotranspiration, and biological uptake of constituents. The
rain garden will also provide for volumetric stormwater treatment and a reduction in irrigation
demand.
In addition to the rain garden, riprap will be placed at the outlets of all storm sewer pipes, curb
cuts, and similar concentrated discharge points in order to prevent erosion. All disturbed areas will
receive permanent paving or will be vegetated per the Landscape Plan. The vast majority of on-site
stormwater runoff from paved surfaces and rooftops will be routed through the rain garden prior to
reaching the public storm sewer system. The disconnection of direct impervious areas combined
with the bioretention basin, offer significant water quality enhancement, and will serve the long-
term stormwater management goals for this project.
5.0 Inspection, Maintenance and Record Keeping
5.1 BMP Inspection
All temporary erosion control facilities shall be inspected at a minimum of once every two (2) weeks
and after each significant storm event or snowmelt. Repairs or reconstruction of BMPs, as
necessary, shall occur as soon as possible in order to ensure the continued performance of their
intended function. It is the responsibility of the SWMP Administrator to conduct bi-weekly
inspections, maintain BMPs if needed, to keep records of site conditions and inspections, and to
update the SWMP as necessary.
The construction site perimeter, disturbed areas, all applicable/installed erosion and sediment
control measures, and areas used for material storage that are exposed to precipitation shall be
inspected for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. Erosion and
sediment control measures identified in the SWMP shall be observed to ensure that they are
operating correctly. Particular attention should be paid to areas that have a significant potential for
stormwater pollution, such as demolition areas, concrete washout locations, and vehicle entries to
the site. The inspection must be documented to ensure compliance with the permit requirements.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 13
5.2 BMP Maintenance
Any BMP’s not operating in accordance with the SWMP must be addressed as soon as possible,
immediately in most cases, to prevent the discharge of pollutants. If modifications are necessary,
such modifications shall be documented so that the SWMP accurately reflects on-site conditions.
The SWMP needs to accurately represent field conditions at all times.
Uncontrolled releases of mud, muddy water, or measurable amounts of sediment found off-site will
be recorded with a brief explanation of the measures taken to clean-up the sediment that has left
the site, as well as the measures taken to prevent future releases. This record shall be made
available to the appropriate public agencies (Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment, Water Quality Control Division; Environmental Protection Agency; City of Fort Collins;
etc.) upon request.
Preventative maintenance of all temporary and permanent erosion control BMPs shall be provided
in order to ensure the continued performance of their intended function. Temporary erosion control
measures are to be removed after the site has been sufficiently stabilized as determined by the City
of Fort Collins. Maintenance activities and actions to correct problems shall be noted and recorded
during inspections.
Inspection and maintenance procedures specific to each BMP identified with this SWMP are
discussed in Section 3. Details have also been included with Appendix B.
5.3 Record Keeping
Documentation of site inspections must be maintained. The following items are to be recorded and
kept with the SWMP:
Date of Inspection
Name(s) and title(s) of personnel making the inspection
Location(s) of sediment discharges or other pollutants from the site
Location(s) of BMP’s that need to be maintained
Location(s) of BMP’s that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate
Locations(s) where additional BMP’s are needed that were not in place at the time of inspection
Deviations from the minimum inspection schedule
Descriptions of corrective action taken to remedy deficiencies that have been identified
The report shall contain a signed statement indicating the site is in compliance with the permit to the
best of the signer’s knowledge and belief after corrective actions have been taken.
Provided within Appendix E of this SWMP is an Example Inspection Log to aid in the record keeping
of BMP inspections and maintenance. Photographs, field notebooks, drawings and maps should be
included by the SWMP Administrator when appropriate.
In addition to the Inspection Log, records should be kept documenting:
BMP maintenance and operation
Stormwater contamination
Contacts with suppliers
Notes on the need for and performance of preventive maintenance and other repairs
Implementation of specific items in the SWMP
Training events (given or attended)
Events involving materials handling and storage
Contacts with regulatory agencies and personnel
Notes of employee activities, contact, notifications, etc.
Fairview Shopping Center Filing Four
Stormwater Management Plan 14
Records of spills, leaks, or overflows that result in the discharge of pollutants must be documented
and maintained. A record of other spills that are responded to, even if they do not result in a
discharge of pollutants, should be made. Information that should be recorded for all occurrences
includes the time and date, weather conditions, reasons for the spill, etc. Some spills may need to
be reported to authorities immediately. Specifically, a release of any chemical, oil, petroleum
product, sewage, etc., which may enter waters of the State of Colorado (which include surface
water, ground water and dry gullies or storm sewers leading to surface water) must be reported to
the CDPHE.
Additionally, the “Dynamic Site Plan” is intended to be a “living” document where the SWMP
Administrator can hand write the location of BMPs as they are installed to appropriately reflect the
current site conditions. Also on the “Dynamic Site Plan” is a “Table of Construction Sequence and
BMP Application/Removal” that the SWMP Administrator can use to document when BMPs were
installed or removed in conjunction with construction activities. These items have been included as
an aid to the SWMP Administrator, and other methods of record keeping are at his or her discretion.
This Stormwater Management Plan (both the text and map) is not a static document. It
is a dynamic device intended to be kept current and logged as construction takes place.
It shall be the responsibility of the SWMP Administrator and/or the permit holder (or
applicant thereof) to ensure the plan is properly maintained and followed. Diligent
administration is critical, including processing the Notice to Proceed and noting on the
Stormwater Management Plan the dates that various construction activities occur and
respective BMPs are installed and/or removed.

Description
Wind erosion and dust control BMPs
help to keep soil particles from entering
the air as a result of land disturbing
construction activities. These BMPs
include a variety of practices generally
focused on either graded disturbed areas
or construction roadways. For graded
areas, practices such as seeding and
mulching, use of soil binders, site
watering, or other practices that provide
prompt surface cover should be used.
For construction roadways, road
watering and stabilized surfaces should
be considered.
Appropriate Uses
Dust control measures should be used on any site where dust poses a problem to air quality. Dust control
is important to control for the health of construction workers and surrounding waterbodies.
Design and Installation
The following construction BMPs can be used for dust control:
An irrigation/sprinkler system can be used to wet the top layer of disturbed soil to help keep dry soil
particles from becoming airborne.
Seeding and mulching can be used to stabilize disturbed surfaces and reduce dust emissions.
Protecting existing vegetation can help to slow wind velocities across the ground surface, thereby
limiting the likelihood of soil particles to become airborne.
Spray-on soil binders form a bond between soil particles keeping them grounded. Chemical
treatments may require additional permitting requirements. Potential impacts to surrounding
waterways and habitat must be considered prior to use.
Placing rock on construction roadways and entrances will help keep dust to a minimum across the
construction site.
Wind fences can be installed on site to reduce wind
speeds. Install fences perpendicular to the prevailing
wind direction for maximum effectiveness.
Maintenance and Removal
When using an irrigation/sprinkler control system to aid in
dust control, be careful not to overwater. Overwatering will
cause construction vehicles to track mud off-site.

Concrete Washout Area (CWA) MM-1
November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District CWA-1
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Photograph CWA-1. Example of concrete washout area. Note gravel
tracking pad for access and sign.
Description
Concrete waste management involves
designating and properly managing a
specific area of the construction site as a
concrete washout area. A concrete
washout area can be created using one of
several approaches designed to receive
wash water from washing of tools and
concrete mixer chutes, liquid concrete
waste from dump trucks, mobile batch
mixers, or pump trucks. Three basic
approaches are available: excavation of a
pit in the ground, use of an above ground
storage area, or use of prefabricated haul-
away concrete washout containers.
Surface discharges of concrete washout
water from construction sites are prohibited.
Appropriate Uses
Concrete washout areas must be designated on all sites that will generate concrete wash water or liquid
concrete waste from onsite concrete mixing or concrete delivery.
Because pH is a pollutant of concern for washout activities, when unlined pits are used for concrete
washout, the soil must have adequate buffering capacity to result in protection of state groundwater
standards; otherwise, a liner/containment must be used. The following management practices are
recommended to prevent an impact from unlined pits to groundwater:
The use of the washout site should be temporary (less than 1 year), and
The washout site should be not be located in an area where shallow groundwater may be present, such
as near natural drainages, springs, or wetlands.
Design and Installation
Concrete washout activities must be conducted in a manner that does not contribute pollutants to surface
waters or stormwater runoff. Concrete washout areas may be lined or unlined excavated pits in the
ground, commercially manufactured prefabricated washout containers, or aboveground holding areas
constructed of berms, sandbags or straw bales with a plastic liner.
Although unlined washout areas may be used, lined pits may be required to protect groundwater under
certain conditions.
Do not locate an unlined washout area within 400 feet
of any natural drainage pathway or waterbody or
within 1,000 feet of any wells or drinking water
sources. Even for lined concrete washouts, it is
advisable to locate the facility away from waterbodies
and drainage paths. If site constraints make these

setbacks infeasible or if highly permeable soils exist in the area, then the pit must be installed with an
impermeable liner (16 mil minimum thickness) or surface storage alternatives using prefabricated
concrete washout devices or a lined aboveground storage area should be used.
Design details with notes are provided in Detail CWA-1 for pits and CWA-2 for aboveground storage
areas. Pre-fabricated concrete washout container information can be obtained from vendors.
Maintenance and Removal
A key consideration for concrete washout areas is to ensure that adequate signage is in place identifying
the location of the washout area. Part of inspecting and maintaining washout areas is ensuring that
adequate signage is provided and in good repair and that the washout area is being used, as opposed to
washout in non-designated areas of the site.
Remove concrete waste in the washout area, as needed to maintain BMP function (typically when filled to
about two-thirds of its capacity). Collect concrete waste and deliver offsite to a designated disposal
location.
Upon termination of use of the washout site, accumulated solid waste, including concrete waste and any
contaminated soils, must be removed from the site to prevent on-site disposal of solid waste. If the wash
water is allowed to evaporate and the concrete hardens, it may be recycled.

Photograph SP-1. A topsoil stockpile that has been partially
revegetated and is protected by silt fence perimeter control.
Description
Stockpile management includes
measures to minimize erosion and
sediment transport from soil stockpiles.
Appropriate Uses
Stockpile management should be used
when soils or other erodible materials
are stored at the construction site.
Special attention should be given to
stockpiles in close proximity to natural
or manmade storm systems.
Design and Installation
Locate stockpiles away from all drainage system components including storm sewer inlets. Where
practical, choose stockpile locations that that will remain undisturbed for the longest period of time as the
phases of construction progress. Place sediment control BMPs around the perimeter of the stockpile, such
as sediment control logs, rock socks, silt fence, straw bales and sand bags. See Detail SP-1 for guidance
on proper establishment of perimeter controls around a stockpile. For stockpiles in active use, provide a
stabilized designated access point on the upgradient side of the stockpile.
Stabilize the stockpile surface with surface roughening, temporary seeding and mulching, erosion control
blankets, or soil binders. Soils stockpiled for an extended period (typically for more than 60 days) should
be seeded and mulched with a temporary grass cover once the stockpile is placed (typically within 14
days). Use of mulch only or a soil binder is acceptable if the stockpile will be in place for a more limited
time period (typically 30-60 days). Timeframes for stabilization of stockpiles noted in this fact sheet are
"typical" guidelines. Check permit requirements for specific federal, state, and/or local requirements that
may be more prescriptive.
Stockpiles should not be placed in streets or paved areas unless no other practical alternative exists. See
the Stabilized Staging Area Fact Sheet for guidance when staging in roadways is unavoidable due to
space or right-of-way constraints. For paved areas, rock socks must be used for perimeter control and all
inlets with the potential to receive sediment from the stockpile (even from vehicle tracking) must be
protected.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspect perimeter controls and inlet protection in accordance with their respective BMP Fact Sheets.
Where seeding, mulch and/or soil binders are used, reseeding or reapplication of soil binder may be
necessary.
When temporary removal of a perimeter BMP is necessary
to access a stockpile, ensure BMPs are reinstalled in
accordance with their respective design detail section.

Description
Implement construction site good housekeeping practices to
prevent pollution associated with solid, liquid and hazardous
construction-related materials and wastes. Stormwater
Management Plans (SWMPs) should clearly specify BMPs
including these good housekeeping practices:
Provide for waste management.
Establish proper building material staging areas.
Designate paint and concrete washout areas.
Establish proper equipment/vehicle fueling and
maintenance practices.

Appropriate Uses
Good housekeeping practices are necessary at all construction sites.
Design and Installation
The following principles and actions should be addressed in SWMPs:
Provide for Waste Management. Implement management procedures and practices to prevent or
reduce the exposure and transport of pollutants in stormwater from solid, liquid and sanitary wastes
that will be generated at the site. Practices such as trash disposal, recycling, proper material handling,
and cleanup measures can reduce the potential for stormwater runoff to pick up construction site
wastes and discharge them to surface waters. Implement a comprehensive set of waste-management
practices for hazardous or toxic materials, such as paints, solvents, petroleum products, pesticides,
wood preservatives, acids, roofing tar, and other materials. Practices should include storage,
handling, inventory, and cleanup procedures, in case of spills. Specific practices that should be
considered include:
Solid or Construction Waste
o Designate trash and bulk waste-collection areas on-
site.

o Recycle materials whenever possible (e.g., paper, wood, concrete, oil).
o Segregate and provide proper disposal options for hazardous material wastes.
o Clean up litter and debris from the construction site daily.
o Locate waste-collection areas away from streets, gutters, watercourses, and storm drains. Waste-
collection areas (dumpsters, and such) are often best located near construction site entrances to
minimize traffic on disturbed soils. Consider secondary containment around waste collection
areas to minimize the likelihood of contaminated discharges.
o Empty waste containers before they are full and overflowing.
Sanitary and Septic Waste
o Provide convenient, well-maintained, and properly located toilet facilities on-site.
o Locate toilet facilities away from storm drain inlets and waterways to prevent accidental spills
and contamination of stormwater.
o Maintain clean restroom facilities and empty portable toilets regularly.
o Where possible, provide secondary containment pans under portable toilets.
o Provide tie-downs or stake-downs for portable toilets.
o Educate employees, subcontractors, and suppliers on locations of facilities.
o Treat or dispose of sanitary and septic waste in accordance with state or local regulations. Do not
discharge or bury wastewater at the construction site.
o Inspect facilities for leaks. If found, repair or replace immediately.
o Special care is necessary during maintenance (pump out) to ensure that waste and/or biocide are
not spilled on the ground.
Hazardous Materials and Wastes
o Develop and implement employee and
subcontractor education, as needed, on
hazardous and toxic waste handling,
storage, disposal, and cleanup.
o Designate hazardous waste-collection
areas on-site.
o Place all hazardous and toxic material
wastes in secondary containment.
Good Housekeeping Practices (GH) MM-3
November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District GH-3
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
o Hazardous waste containers should be inspected to ensure that all containers are labeled properly
and that no leaks are present.
Establish Proper Building Material Handling and Staging Areas. The SWMP should include
comprehensive handling and management procedures for building materials, especially those that are
hazardous or toxic. Paints, solvents, pesticides, fuels and oils, other hazardous materials or building
materials that have the potential to contaminate stormwater should be stored indoors or under cover
whenever possible or in areas with secondary containment. Secondary containment measures prevent
a spill from spreading across the site and may include dikes, berms, curbing, or other containment
methods. Secondary containment techniques should also ensure the protection of groundwater.
Designate staging areas for activities such as fueling vehicles, mixing paints, plaster, mortar, and
other potential pollutants. Designated staging areas enable easier monitoring of the use of materials
and clean up of spills. Training employees and subcontractors is essential to the success of this
pollution prevention principle. Consider the following specific materials handling and staging
practices:
o Train employees and subcontractors in proper handling and storage practices.
o Clearly designate site areas for staging and storage with signs and on construction drawings.
Staging areas should be located in areas central to the construction site. Segment the staging area
into sub-areas designated for vehicles, equipment, or stockpiles. Construction entrances and exits
should be clearly marked so that delivery vehicles enter/exit through stabilized areas with vehicle
tracking controls (See Vehicle Tracking Control Fact Sheet).
o Provide storage in accordance with Spill Protection, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
requirements and plans and provide cover and impermeable perimeter control, as necessary, for
hazardous materials and contaminated soils that must be stored on site.
o Ensure that storage containers are regularly inspected for leaks, corrosion, support or foundation
failure, or other signs of deterioration and tested for soundness.
o Reuse and recycle construction materials when possible.
Designate Concrete Washout Areas. Concrete contractors should be encouraged to use the washout
facilities at their own plants or dispatch facilities when feasible; however, concrete washout
commonly occurs on construction sites. If it is necessary to provide for concrete washout areas on-
site, designate specific washout areas and design facilities to handle anticipated washout water.
Washout areas should also be provided for paint and stucco operations. Because washout areas can
be a source of pollutants from leaks or spills, care must be taken with regard to their placement and
proper use. See the Concrete Washout Area Fact Sheet for detailed guidance.
Both self-constructed and prefabricated washout containers can fill up quickly when concrete, paint,
and stucco work are occurring on large portions of the site. Be sure to check for evidence that
contractors are using the washout areas and not dumping materials onto the ground or into drainage
facilities. If the washout areas are not being used regularly, consider posting additional signage,
relocating the facilities to more convenient locations, or providing training to workers and
contractors.
When concrete, paint, or stucco is part of the construction process, consider these practices which will
help prevent contamination of stormwater. Include the locations of these areas and the maintenance
and inspection procedures in the SWMP.
MM-3 Good Housekeeping Practices (GH)
GH-4 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District November 2010
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
o Do not washout concrete trucks or equipment into storm drains, streets, gutters, uncontained
areas, or streams. Only use designated washout areas.
o Establish washout areas and advertise their locations with signs. Ensure that signage remains in
good repair.
o Provide adequate containment for the amount of wash water that will be used.
o Inspect washout structures daily to detect leaks or tears and to identify when materials need to be
removed.
o Dispose of materials properly. The preferred method is to allow the water to evaporate and to
recycle the hardened concrete. Full service companies may provide dewatering services and
should dispose of wastewater properly. Concrete wash water can be highly polluted. It should
not be discharged to any surface water, storm sewer system, or allowed to infiltrate into the
ground in the vicinity of waterbodies. Washwater should not be discharged to a sanitary sewer
system without first receiving written permission from the system operator.
Establish Proper Equipment/Vehicle Fueling and Maintenance Practices. Create a clearly
designated on-site fueling and maintenance area that is clean and dry. The on-site fueling area should
have a spill kit, and staff should know how to use it. If possible, conduct vehicle fueling and
maintenance activities in a covered area. Consider the following practices to help prevent the
discharge of pollutants to stormwater from equipment/vehicle fueling and maintenance. Include the
locations of designated fueling and maintenance areas and inspection and maintenance procedures in
the SWMP.
o Train employees and subcontractors in proper fueling procedures (stay with vehicles during
fueling, proper use of pumps, emergency shutoff valves, etc.).
o Inspect on-site vehicles and equipment regularly for leaks, equipment damage, and other service
problems.
o Clearly designate vehicle/equipment service areas away from drainage facilities and watercourses
to prevent stormwater run-on and runoff.
o Use drip pans, drip cloths, or absorbent pads when replacing spent fluids.
o Collect all spent fluids, store in appropriate labeled containers in the proper storage areas, and
recycle fluids whenever possible.
Control Equipment/Vehicle Washing and Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges. Implement
practices to prevent contamination of surface and groundwater from equipment and vehicle wash
water. Representative practices include:
o Educate employees and subcontractors on proper washing procedures.
o Use off-site washing facilities, when available.
o Clearly mark the washing areas and inform workers that all washing must occur in this area.
o Contain wash water and treat it using BMPs. Infiltrate washwater when possible, but maintain
separation from drainage paths and waterbodies.
Good Housekeeping Practices (GH) MM-3
November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District GH-5
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
o Use high-pressure water spray at vehicle washing facilities without detergents. Water alone can
remove most dirt adequately.
o Do not conduct other activities, such as vehicle repairs, in the wash area.
o Include the location of the washing facilities and the inspection and maintenance procedures in
the SWMP.
Develop a Spill Prevention and Response Plan. Spill prevention and response procedures must be
identified in the SWMP. Representative procedures include identifying ways to reduce the chance of
spills, stop the source of spills, contain and clean up spills, dispose of materials contaminated by
spills, and train personnel responsible for spill prevention and response. The plan should also specify
material handling procedures and storage requirements and ensure that clear and concise spill cleanup
procedures are provided and posted for areas in which spills may potentially occur. When developing
a spill prevention plan, include the following:
o Note the locations of chemical storage areas, storm drains, tributary drainage areas, surface
waterbodies on or near the site, and measures to stop spills from leaving the site.
o Provide proper handling and safety procedures for each type of waste. Keep Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDSs) for chemical used on site with the SWMP.
o Establish an education program for employees and subcontractors on the potential hazards to
humans and the environment from spills and leaks.
o Specify how to notify appropriate authorities, such as police and fire departments, hospitals, or
municipal sewage treatment facilities to request assistance. Emergency procedures and contact
numbers should be provided in the SWMP and posted at storage locations.
o Describe the procedures, equipment and materials for immediate cleanup of spills and proper
disposal.
o Identify personnel responsible for implementing the plan in the event of a spill. Update the spill
prevention plan and clean up materials as changes occur to the types of chemicals stored and used
at the facility.

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan
Construction sites may be subject to 40 CFR Part 112 regulations that require the preparation and
implementation of a SPCC Plan to prevent oil spills from aboveground and underground storage tanks.
The facility is subject to this rule if it is a non-transportation-related facility that:
Has a total storage capacity greater than 1,320 gallons or a completely buried storage capacity
greater than 42,000 gallons.
Could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be harmful to navigable waters
of the United States and adjoining shorelines.
Furthermore, if the facility is subject to 40 CFR Part 112, the SWMP should reference the SPCC Plan.
To find out more about SPCC Plans, see EPA's website on SPPC at www.epa.gov/oilspill/spcc.htm.
Reporting Oil Spills
In the event of an oil spill, contact the National Response Center toll free at 1-800-424- 8802 for
assistance, or for more details, visit their website: www.nrc.uscg.mil.
Maintenance and Removal
Effective implementation of good housekeeping practices is dependent on clear designation of personnel
responsible for supervising and implementing good housekeeping programs, such as site cleanup and
disposal of trash and debris, hazardous material management and disposal, vehicle and equipment
maintenance, and other practices. Emergency response "drills" may aid in emergency preparedness.
Checklists may be helpful in good housekeeping efforts.
Staging and storage areas require permanent stabilization when the areas are no longer being used for
construction-related activities.
Construction-related materials, debris and waste must be removed from the construction site once
construction is complete.
Design Details
See the following Fact Sheets for related Design Details:

Design details are not necessary for other good housekeeping practices; however, be sure to designate
where specific practices will occur on the appropriate construction drawings.
Silt Fence (SF) SC-1
November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District SF-1
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Photograph SF-1. Silt fence creates a sediment barrier, forcing
sheet flow runoff to evaporate or infiltrate.
Description
A silt fence is a woven geotextile fabric
attached to wooden posts and trenched
into the ground. It is designed as a
sediment barrier to intercept sheet flow
runoff from disturbed areas.
Appropriate Uses
A silt fence can be used where runoff is
conveyed from a disturbed area as sheet
flow. Silt fence is not designed to
receive concentrated flow or to be used
as a filter fabric. Typical uses include:
Down slope of a disturbed area to
accept sheet flow.
Along the perimeter of a receiving
water such as a stream, pond or
wetland.
At the perimeter of a construction site.
Design and Installation
Silt fence should be installed along the contour of slopes so that it intercepts sheet flow. The maximum
recommended tributary drainage area per 100 lineal feet of silt fence, installed along the contour, is
approximately 0.25 acres with a disturbed slope length of up to 150 feet and a tributary slope gradient no
steeper than 3:1. Longer and steeper slopes require additional measures. This recommendation only
applies to silt fence installed along the contour. Silt fence installed for other uses, such as perimeter
control, should be installed in a way that will not produce concentrated flows. For example, a "J-hook"
installation may be appropriate to force runoff to pond and evaporate or infiltrate in multiple areas rather
than concentrate and cause erosive conditions parallel to the silt fence.
See Detail SF-1 for proper silt fence installation, which involves proper trenching, staking, securing the
fabric to the stakes, and backfilling the silt fence. Properly installed silt fence should not be easily pulled
out by hand and there should be no gaps between the ground and the fabric.
Silt fence must meet the minimum allowable strength requirements, depth of installation requirement, and
other specifications in the design details. Improper installation
of silt fence is a common reason for silt fence failure; however,
when properly installed and used for the appropriate purposes, it
can be highly effective.

the contour, a "J-hook" installation may be appropriate
to ensure that the BMP does not create concentrated
flow parallel to the silt fence. Photo courtesy of Tom
Gore.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspection of silt fence includes observing the
material for tears or holes and checking for slumping
fence and undercut areas bypassing flows. Repair of
silt fence typically involves replacing the damaged
section with a new section. Sediment accumulated
behind silt fence should be removed, as needed to
maintain BMP effectiveness, typically before it
reaches a depth of 6 inches.
Silt fence may be removed when the upstream area
has reached final stabilization.

Photographs SCL-1 and SCL-2. Sediment control logs used as 1) a
perimeter control around a soil stockpile; and, 2) as a "J-hook"
perimeter control at the corner of a construction site.
Description
A sediment control log is a linear roll
made of natural materials such as
straw, coconut fiber, or other fibrous
material trenched into the ground and
held with a wooden stake. Sediment
control logs are also often referred to
as "straw wattles." They are used as a
sediment barrier to intercept sheet flow
runoff from disturbed areas.
Appropriate Uses
Sediment control logs can be used in
the following applications to trap
sediment:
As perimeter control for stockpiles
and the site.
As part of inlet protection designs.
As check dams in small drainage
ditches. (Sediment control logs
are not intended for use in
channels with high flow
velocities.)
On disturbed slopes to shorten flow
lengths (as an erosion control).
As part of multi-layered perimeter control along a receiving water such as a stream, pond or wetland.
Sediment control logs work well in combination with other layers of erosion and sediment controls.
Design and Installation
Sediment control logs should be installed along the contour to avoid concentrating flows. The maximum
allowable tributary drainage area per 100 lineal feet of sediment control log, installed along the contour, is
approximately 0.25 acres with a disturbed slope length of up to 150 feet and a tributary slope gradient no
steeper than 3:1. Longer and steeper slopes require additional measures. This recommendation only
applies to sediment control logs installed along the contour. When installed for other uses, such as
perimeter control, it should be installed in a way that will not
produce concentrated flows. For example, a "J-hook"
installation may be appropriate to force runoff to pond and
evaporate or infiltrate in multiple areas rather than concentrate
and cause erosive conditions parallel to the BMP.

SC-2 Sediment Control Log (SCL)
SCL-2 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District November 2010
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Although sediment control logs initially allow runoff to flow through the BMP, they can quickly become
a barrier and should be installed is if they are impermeable.
Design details and notes for sediment control logs are provided in Detail SCL-1. Sediment logs must be
properly trenched and staked into the ground to prevent undercutting, bypassing and displacement. When
installed on slopes, sediment control logs should be installed along the contours (i.e., perpendicular to
flow).
Improper installation can lead to poor performance. Be sure that sediment control logs are properly
trenched, anchored and tightly jointed.
Maintenance and Removal
Be aware that sediment control logs will eventually degrade. Remove accumulated sediment before the
depth is one-half the height of the sediment log and repair damage to the sediment log, typically by
replacing the damaged section.
Once the upstream area is stabilized, remove and properly dispose of the logs. Areas disturbed beneath
the logs may need to be seeded and mulched. Sediment control logs that are biodegradable may
occasionally be left in place (e.g., when logs are used in conjunction with erosion control blankets as
permanent slope breaks). However, removal of sediment control logs after final stabilization is typically
recommended when used in perimeter control, inlet protection and check dam applications.

Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Photograph RS-1. Rock socks placed at regular intervals in a curb
line can help reduce sediment loading to storm sewer inlets. Rock
socks can also be used as perimeter controls.
Description
A rock sock is constructed of gravel
that has been wrapped by wire mesh or
a geotextile to form an elongated
cylindrical filter. Rock socks are
typically used either as a perimeter
control or as part of inlet protection.
When placed at angles in the curb line,
rock socks are typically referred to as
curb socks. Rock socks are intended to
trap sediment from stormwater runoff
that flows onto roadways as a result of
construction activities.
Appropriate Uses
Rock socks can be used at the perimeter
of a disturbed area to control localized
sediment loading. A benefit of rock
socks as opposed to other perimeter controls is that they do not have to be trenched or staked into the
ground; therefore, they are often used on roadway construction projects where paved surfaces are present.
Use rock socks in inlet protection applications when the construction of a roadway is substantially
complete and the roadway has been directly connected to a receiving storm system.
Design and Installation
When rock socks are used as perimeter controls, the maximum recommended tributary drainage area per
100 lineal feet of rock socks is approximately 0.25 acres with disturbed slope length of up to 150 feet and
a tributary slope gradient no steeper than 3:1. A rock sock design detail and notes are provided in Detail
RS-1. Also see the Inlet Protection Fact Sheet for design and installation guidance when rock socks are
used for inlet protection and in the curb line.
When placed in the gutter adjacent to a curb, rock socks should protrude no more than two feet from the
curb in order for traffic to pass safely. If located in a high traffic area, place construction markers to alert
drivers and street maintenance workers of their presence.
Maintenance and Removal
Rock socks are susceptible to displacement and breaking due to vehicle traffic. Inspect rock socks for
damage and repair or replace as necessary. Remove sediment by sweeping or vacuuming as needed to
maintain the functionality of the BMP, typically when sediment
has accumulated behind the rock sock to one-half of the sock's
height.
Once upstream stabilization is complete, rock socks and
accumulated sediment should be removed and properly disposed.

Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Photograph IP-1. Inlet protection for a curb opening inlet.
Description
Inlet protection consists of permeable
barriers installed around an inlet to
filter runoff and remove sediment prior
to entering a storm drain inlet. Inlet
protection can be constructed from rock
socks, sediment control logs, silt fence,
block and rock socks, or other materials
approved by the local jurisdiction.
Area inlets can also be protected by
over-excavating around the inlet to
form a sediment trap.
Appropriate Uses
Install protection at storm sewer inlets
that are operable during construction.
Consider the potential for tracked-out
sediment or temporary stockpile areas to contribute sediment to inlets when determining which inlets
must be protected. This may include inlets in the general proximity of the construction area, not limited
to downgradient inlets. Inlet protection is not
Design and Installation
a stand-alone BMP and should be used in conjunction with
other upgradient BMPs.
To function effectively, inlet protection measures must be installed to ensure that flows do not bypass the
inlet protection and enter the storm drain without treatment. However, designs must also enable the inlet
to function without completely blocking flows into the inlet in a manner that causes localized flooding.
When selecting the type of inlet protection, consider factors such as type of inlet (e.g., curb or area, sump
or on-grade conditions), traffic, anticipated flows, ability to secure the BMP properly, safety and other
site-specific conditions. For example, block and rock socks will be better suited to a curb and gutter
along a roadway, as opposed to silt fence or sediment control logs, which cannot be properly secured in a
curb and gutter setting, but are effective area inlet protection measures.
Several inlet protection designs are provided in the Design Details. Additionally, a variety of proprietary
products are available for inlet protection that may be approved for use by local governments. If
proprietary products are used, design details and installation procedures from the manufacturer must be
followed. Regardless of the type of inlet protection selected, inlet protection is most effective when
combined with other BMPs such as curb socks and check dams. Inlet protection is often the last barrier
before runoff enters the storm sewer or receiving water.

Propriety inlet protection devices should be installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
More information is provided below on selecting inlet protection for sump and on-grade locations.
Inlets Located in a Sump
When applying inlet protection in sump conditions, it is important that the inlet continue to function
during larger runoff events. For curb inlets, the maximum height of the protective barrier should be lower
than the top of the curb opening to allow overflow into the inlet during larger storms without excessive
localized flooding. If the inlet protection height is greater than the curb elevation, particularly if the filter
becomes clogged with sediment, runoff will not enter the inlet and may bypass it, possibly causing
localized flooding, public safety issues, and downstream erosion and damage from bypassed flows.
Area inlets located in a sump setting can be protected through the use of silt fence, concrete block and
rock socks (on paved surfaces), sediment control logs/straw wattles embedded in the adjacent soil and
stacked around the area inlet (on pervious surfaces), over-excavation around the inlet, and proprietary
products providing equivalent functions.
Inlets Located on a Slope
For curb and gutter inlets on paved sloping streets, block and rock sock inlet protection is recommended
in conjunction with curb socks in the gutter leading to the inlet. For inlets located along unpaved roads,
also see the Check Dam Fact Sheet.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspect inlet protection frequently. Inspection and maintenance guidance includes:
Inspect for tears that can result in sediment directly entering the inlet, as well as result in the contents
of the BMP (e.g., gravel) washing into the inlet.
Check for improper installation resulting in untreated flows bypassing the BMP and directly entering
the inlet or bypassing to an unprotected downstream inlet. For example, silt fence that has not been
properly trenched around the inlet can result in flows under the silt fence and directly into the inlet.
Look for displaced BMPs that are no longer protecting the inlet. Displacement may occur following
larger storm events that wash away or reposition the inlet protection. Traffic or equipment may also
crush or displace the BMP.
Monitor sediment accumulation upgradient of the inlet protection.
Inlet Protection (IP) SC-6
November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District IP-3
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Remove sediment accumulation from the area upstream of the inlet protection, as needed to maintain
BMP effectiveness, typically when it reaches no more than half the storage capacity of the inlet
protection. For silt fence, remove sediment when it accumulates to a depth of no more than 6 inches.
Remove sediment accumulation from the area upstream of the inlet protection as needed to maintain
the functionality of the BMP.
Propriety inlet protection devices should be inspected and maintained in accordance with
manufacturer specifications. If proprietary inlet insert devices are used, sediment should be removed
in a timely manner to prevent devices from breaking and spilling sediment into the storm drain.
Inlet protection must be removed and properly disposed of when the drainage area for the inlet has
reached final stabilization.

area of active construction and the drainage swale. Photo courtesy
of WWE.
Description
Buffer strips of preserved natural
vegetation or grass help protect
waterways and wetlands from land
disturbing activities. Vegetated buffers
improve stormwater runoff quality by
straining sediment, promoting
infiltration, and slowing runoff
velocities.
Appropriate Uses
Vegetated buffers can be used to
separate land disturbing activities and
natural surface waters or conveyances.
In many jurisdictions, local governments
require some type of setback from natural waterways. Concentrated flow should not be directed through
a buffer; instead, runoff should be in the form of sheet flow. Vegetated buffers are typically used in
combination with other perimeter control BMPs such as sediment control logs or silt fence for multi-
layered protection.
Design and Installation
Minimum buffer widths may vary based on local regulations. Clearly delineate the boundary of the
natural buffer area using construction fencing, silt fence, or a comparable technique. In areas that have
been cleared and graded, vegetated buffers such as sod can also be installed to create or restore a
vegetated buffer around the perimeter of the site.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspect buffer areas for signs of erosion such as gullies or rills. Stabilize eroding areas, as needed. If
erosion is due to concentrated flow conditions, it may be necessary to install a level spreader or other
technique to restore sheet flow conditions. Inspect perimeter controls delineating the vegetative buffer
and repair or replace as needed.

Description
Chemical treatment for erosion and
sediment control can take several forms:
1. Applying chemicals to disturbed
surfaces to reduce erosion (these uses
are discussed in the Soil Binders Fact
Sheet).
2. Adding flocculants to sedimentation
ponds or tanks to enhance sediment
removal prior.
3. Using proprietary barriers or flow-
through devices containing flocculants
(e.g., "floc logs").
The use of flocculants as described in No. 2 and No. 3 above will likely require special permitting.
Check with the state permitting agency. See the Soil Binder BMP Fact Sheet for information on
surface application of chemical treatments, as described in No. 1.
Appropriate Uses
At sites with fine-grained materials such as clays, chemical addition to sedimentation ponds or tanks can
enhance settling of suspended materials through flocculation.
Prior to selecting and using chemical treatments, it is important to check state and local permit
requirements related to their use.
Design and Installation
Due to variations among proprietary chemical treatment methods, design details are not provided for this
BMP. Chemical feed systems for sedimentation ponds, settling tanks and dewatering bags should be
installed and operated in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and applicable regulations.
Alum and chitosan are two common chemicals used as flocculants. Because the potential long-term
impact of these chemicals to natural drainageways is not yet fully understood, the state does not currently
allow chemical addition under the CDPS General Stormwater Construction Discharge Permit. Additional
permitting may be necessary, which may include sampling requirements and numeric discharge limits.
Any devices or barriers containing chemicals should be installed following manufacturer's guidelines.
Check for state and local jurisdiction usage restrictions and requirements before including these practices
in the SWMP and implementing them onsite.

to minimize erosion and sediment
transport includes attention to
construction phasing, scheduling, and
sequencing of land disturbing activities.
On most construction projects, erosion
and sediment controls will need to be
adjusted as the project progresses and
should be documented in the SWMP.
Construction phasing refers to
disturbing only part of a site at a time to
limit the potential for erosion from
dormant parts of a site. Grading
activities and construction are completed
and soils are effectively stabilized on one
part of a site before grading and
construction begins on another portion of the site.
Construction sequencing or scheduling refers to a specified work schedule that coordinates the timing of
land disturbing activities and the installation of erosion and sediment control practices.
Appropriate Uses
All construction projects can benefit from upfront planning to phase and sequence construction activities
to minimize the extent and duration of disturbance. Larger projects and linear construction projects may
benefit most from construction sequencing or phasing, but even small projects can benefit from
construction sequencing that minimizes the duration of disturbance.
Typically, erosion and sediment controls needed at a site will change as a site progresses through the
major phases of construction. Erosion and sediment control practices corresponding to each phase of
construction must be documented in the SWMP.
Design and Installation
BMPs appropriate to the major phases of development should be identified on construction drawings. In
some cases, it will be necessary to provide several drawings showing construction-phase BMPs placed
according to stages of development (e.g., clearing and grading, utility installation, active construction,
final stabilization). Some municipalities in the Denver area set maximum sizes for disturbed area
associated with phases of a construction project. Additionally, requirements for phased construction
drawings vary among local governments within the UDFCD boundary. Some local governments require
separate erosion and sediment control drawings for initial
BMPs, interim conditions (in active construction), and final
stabilization.

Typical construction phasing BMPs include:
Limit the amount of disturbed area at any given time on a site to the extent practical. For example, a
100-acre subdivision might be constructed in five phases of 20 acres each.
If there is carryover of stockpiled material from one phase to the next, position carryover material in a
location easily accessible for the pending phase that will not require disturbance of stabilized areas to
access the stockpile. Particularly with regard to efforts to balance cut and fill at a site, careful
planning for location of stockpiles is important.
Typical construction sequencing BMPs include:
Sequence construction activities to minimize duration of soil disturbance and exposure. For example,
when multiple utilities will occupy the same trench, schedule installation so that the trench does not
have to be closed and opened multiple times.
Schedule site stabilization activities (e.g., landscaping, seeding and mulching, installation of erosion
control blankets) as soon as feasible following grading.
Install initial erosion and sediment control practices before construction begins. Promptly install
additional BMPs for inlet protection, stabilization, etc., as construction activities are completed.
Table CP-1 provides typical sequencing of construction activities and associated BMPs.
Maintenance and Removal
When the construction schedule is altered, erosion and sediment control measures in the SWMP and
construction drawings should be appropriately adjusted to reflect actual "on the ground" conditions at the
construction site. Be aware that changes in construction schedules can have significant implications for
site stabilization, particularly with regard to establishment of vegetative cover.

Site Access
Install sediment controls downgradient of access point (on paved streets this may consist
of inlet protection).
Establish vehicle tracking control at entrances to paved streets. Fence as needed.
Use construction fencing to define the boundaries of the project and limit access to areas of
the site that are not to be disturbed.
Note: it may be necessary to protect inlets in the general vicinity of the site, even if not
downgradient, if there is a possibility that sediment tracked from the site could contribute
to the inlets.
Site Clearing
and Grubbing
Install perimeter controls as needed on downgradient perimeter of site (silt fence, wattles,
etc).
Limit disturbance to those areas planned for disturbance and protect undisturbed areas
within the site (construction fence, flagging, etc).
Preserve vegetative buffer at site perimeter.
Create stabilized staging area.
Locate portable toilets on flat surfaces away from drainage paths. Stake in areas
susceptible to high winds.
Construct concrete washout area and provide signage.
Establish waste disposal areas.
Install sediment basins.
Create dirt perimeter berms and/or brush barriers during grubbing and clearing.
Separate and stockpile topsoil, leave roughened and/or cover.
Protect stockpiles with perimeter control BMPs. Stockpiles should be located away from
drainage paths and should be accessed from the upgradient side so that perimeter controls
can remain in place on the downgradient side. Use erosion control blankets, temporary
seeding, and/or mulch for stockpiles that will be inactive for an extended period.
Leave disturbed area of site in a roughened condition to limit erosion. Consider temporary
revegetation for areas of the site that have been disturbed but that will be inactive for an
extended period.
Water to minimize dust but not to the point that watering creates runoff.

Protection of Existing Vegetation (PV) SM-2
November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District PV-1
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3

area. Photo courtesy of CDOT.
Description
Protection of existing vegetation on a
construction site can be accomplished
through installation of a construction
fence around the area requiring protection.
In cases where upgradient areas are
disturbed, it may also be necessary to
install perimeter controls to minimize
sediment loading to sensitive areas such as
wetlands. Existing vegetation may be
designated for protection to maintain a
stable surface cover as part of construction
phasing, or vegetation may be protected in
areas designated to remain in natural
condition under post-development
conditions (e.g., wetlands, mature trees,
riparian areas, open space).
Appropriate Uses
Existing vegetation should be preserved for the maximum practical duration on a construction site
through the use of effective construction phasing. Preserving vegetation helps to minimize erosion and
can reduce revegetation costs following construction.
Protection of wetland areas is required under the Clean Water Act, unless a permit has been obtained from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) allowing impacts in limited areas.
If trees are to be protected as part of post-development landscaping, care must be taken to avoid several
types of damage, some of which may not be apparent at the time of injury. Potential sources of injury
include soil compaction during grading or due to construction traffic, direct equipment-related injury such
as bark removal, branch breakage, surface grading and trenching, and soil cut and fill. In order to
minimize injuries that may lead to immediate or later death of the tree, tree protection zones should be
developed during site design, implemented at the beginning of a construction project, as well as continued
during active construction.
Design and Installation
General
Once an area has been designated as a preservation area, there should be no construction activity allowed
within a set distance of the area. Clearly mark the area with construction fencing. Do not allow
stockpiles, equipment, trailers or parking within the
protected area. Guidelines to protect various types of
existing vegetation follow.

Surface Cover During Phased Construction
Install construction fencing or other perimeter controls around areas to be protected from clearing and
grading as part of construction phasing.
Maintaining surface cover on steep slopes for the maximum practical duration during construction is
recommended.
Open Space Preservation
Where natural open space areas will be preserved as part of a development, it is important to install
construction fencing around these areas to protect them from compaction. This is particularly important
when areas with soils with high infiltration rates are preserved as part of LID designs. Preserved open
space areas should not be used for staging and equipment storage.
Wetlands and Riparian Areas
Install a construction fence around the perimeter of the wetland or riparian (streamside vegetation) area to
prevent access by equipment. In areas downgradient of disturbed areas, install a perimeter control such as
silt fence, sediment control logs, or similar measure to minimize sediment loading to the wetland.
Tree Protection
1
Before beginning construction operations, establish a tree protection zone around trees to be
preserved by installing construction fences. Allow enough space from the trunk to protect the root
zone from soil compaction and mechanical damage, and the branches from mechanical damage (see
Table PV-1). If low branches will be kept, place the fence outside of the drip line. Where this is not
possible, place fencing as far away from the trunk as possible. In order to maintain a healthy tree, be
aware that about 60 percent of the tree's root zone extends beyond the drip line.
Table PV-1
Guidelines for Determining the Tree Protection Zone
(Source: Matheny and Clark, 1998; as cited in GreenCO and WWE 2008)
Distance from Trunk (ft) per inch of DBH
Species Tolerance to Damage Young Mature Over mature
Good 0.5' 0.75' 1.0'
Moderate 0.75' 1.0' 1.25'
Poor 1.0' 1.25' 1.5'
Notes: DBH = diameter at breast height (4.5 ft above grade); Young = <20% of
life expectancy; Mature = 20%-80% of life expectancy; Over mature =>80% of
life expectancy
Most tree roots grow within the top 12 to 18 inches of soil. Grade changes within the tree protection
zone should be avoided where possible because seemingly minor grade changes can either smother

roots (in fill situations) or damage roots (in cut situations). Consider small walls where needed to
avoid grade changes in the tree protection zone.
Place and maintain a layer of mulch 4 to 6-inch thick from the tree trunk to the fencing, keeping a
6-inch space between the mulch and the trunk. Mulch helps to preserve moisture and decrease soil
compaction if construction traffic is unavoidable. When planting operations are completed, the mulch
may be reused throughout planting areas.
Limit access, if needed at all, and appoint one route as the main entrance and exit to the tree
protection zone. Within the tree protection zone, do not allow any equipment to be stored, chemicals
to be dumped, or construction activities to take place except fine grading, irrigation system
installation, and planting operations. These activities should be conducted in consultation with a
landscaping professional, following Green Industry BMPs.
Be aware that soil compaction can cause extreme damage to tree health that may appear gradually
over a period of years. Soil compaction is easier to prevent than repair.
Maintenance and Removal
Repair or replace damaged or displaced fencing or other protective barriers around the vegetated area.
If damage occurs to a tree, consult an arborist for guidance on how to care for the tree. If a tree in a
designated preservation area is damaged beyond repair, remove and replace with a 2-inch diameter tree of
the same or similar species.
Construction equipment must not enter a wetland area, except as permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). Inadvertent placement of fill in a wetland is a 404 permit violation and will require
notification of the USACE.
If damage to vegetation occurs in a protected area, reseed the area with the same or similar species,
following the recommendations in the USDCM Revegetation chapter.

existing vegetation is being protected. Photo courtesy of Douglas
County.
Description
A construction fence restricts site access
to designated entrances and exits,
delineates construction site boundaries,
and keeps construction out of sensitive
areas such as natural areas to be
preserved as open space, wetlands and
riparian areas.
Appropriate Uses
A construction fence can be used to
delineate the site perimeter and locations
within the site where access is restricted
to protect natural resources such as
wetlands, waterbodies, trees, and other
natural areas of the site that should not be
disturbed.
If natural resource protection is an objective, then the construction fencing should be used in combination
with other perimeter control BMPs such as silt fence, sediment control logs or similar measures.
Design and Installation
Construction fencing may be chain link or plastic mesh and should be installed following manufacturer’s
recommendations. See Detail CF-1 for typical installations.
Do not place construction fencing in areas within work limits of machinery.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspect fences for damage; repair or replace as necessary.
Fencing should be tight and any areas with slumping or fallen posts should be reinstalled.
Fencing should be removed once construction is complete.

Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
Photograph VTC-1. A vehicle tracking control pad constructed with
properly sized rock reduces off-site sediment tracking.
Description
Vehicle tracking controls provide
stabilized construction site access where
vehicles exit the site onto paved public
roads. An effective vehicle tracking
control helps remove sediment (mud or
dirt) from vehicles, reducing tracking onto
the paved surface.
Appropriate Uses
Implement a stabilized construction
entrance or vehicle tracking control where
frequent heavy vehicle traffic exits the
construction site onto a paved roadway. An
effective vehicle tracking control is
particularly important during the following conditions:
Wet weather periods when mud is easily tracked off site.
During dry weather periods where dust is a concern.
When poorly drained, clayey soils are present on site.
Although wheel washes are not required in designs of vehicle tracking controls, they may be needed at
particularly muddy sites.
Design and Installation
Construct the vehicle tracking control on a level surface. Where feasible, grade the tracking control
towards the construction site to reduce off-site runoff. Place signage, as needed, to direct construction
vehicles to the designated exit through the vehicle tracking control. There are several different types of
stabilized construction entrances including:
VTC-1. Aggregate Vehicle Tracking Control. This is a coarse-aggregate surfaced pad underlain by a
geotextile. This is the most common vehicle tracking control, and when properly maintained can be
effective at removing sediment from vehicle tires.
VTC-2. Vehicle Tracking Control with Construction Mat or Turf Reinforcement Mat. This type of
control may be appropriate for site access at very small construction sites with low traffic volume over
vegetated areas. Although this application does not typically remove sediment from vehicles, it helps
protect existing vegetation and provides a stabilized entrance.

VTC-3. Stabilized Construction Entrance/Exit with Wheel Wash. This is an aggregate pad, similar
to VTC-1, but includes equipment for tire washing. The wheel wash equipment may be as simple as
hand-held power washing equipment to more advance proprietary systems. When a wheel wash is
provided, it is important to direct wash water to a sediment trap prior to discharge from the site.
Vehicle tracking controls are sometimes installed in combination with a sediment trap to treat runoff.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspect the area for degradation and
replace aggregate or material used for a
stabilized entrance/exit as needed. If the
area becomes clogged and ponds water,
remove and dispose of excess sediment
or replace material with a fresh layer of
aggregate as necessary.
With aggregate vehicle tracking controls,
ensure rock and debris from this area do
not enter the public right-of-way.
Remove sediment that is tracked onto the
public right of way daily or more
frequently as needed. Excess sediment
in the roadway indicates that the
stabilized construction entrance needs
maintenance.
Ensure that drainage ditches at the
entrance/exit area remain clear.
A stabilized entrance should be removed only when there is no longer the potential for vehicle tracking to
occur. This is typically after the site has been stabilized.
When wheel wash equipment is used, be sure that the wash water is discharged to a sediment trap prior to
discharge. Also inspect channels conveying the water from the wash area to the sediment trap and
stabilize areas that may be eroding.
When a construction entrance/exit is removed, excess sediment from the aggregate should be removed
and disposed of appropriately. The entrance should be promptly stabilized with a permanent surface
following removal, typically by paving.

Description
A stabilized construction roadway is a
temporary method to control sediment
runoff, vehicle tracking, and dust from
roads during construction activities.
Appropriate Uses
Use on high traffic construction roads to
minimize dust and erosion.
Stabilized construction roadways are
used instead of rough-cut street controls
on roadways with frequent construction
traffic.
Design and Installation
Stabilized construction roadways typically involve two key components: 1) stabilizing the road surface
with an aggregate base course of 3-inch-diameter granular material and 2) stabilizing roadside ditches, if
applicable. Early application of road base is generally suitable where a layer of coarse aggregate is
specified for final road construction.
Maintenance and Removal
Apply additional gravel as necessary to ensure roadway integrity.
Inspect drainage ditches along the roadway for erosion and stabilize, as needed, through the use of check
dams or rolled erosion control products.
Gravel may be removed once the road is ready to be paved. Prior to paving, the road should be inspected
for grade changes and damage. Regrade and repair as necessary.

November 2010 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District SSA-1
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3

prevent mud tracking and reduce runoff. Photo courtesy of Douglas
County.
Description
A stabilized staging area is a clearly
designated area where construction
equipment and vehicles, stockpiles, waste
bins, and other construction-related
materials are stored. The contractor
office trailer may also be located in this
area. Depending on the size of the
construction site, more than one staging
area may be necessary.
Appropriate Uses
Most construction sites will require a
staging area, which should be clearly
designated in SWMP drawings. The layout
of the staging area may vary depending on
the type of construction activity. Staging areas located in roadways due to space constraints require
special measures to avoid materials being washed into storm inlets.
Design and Installation
Stabilized staging areas should be completed prior to other construction activities beginning on the site.
Major components of a stabilized staging area include:
Appropriate space to contain storage and provide for loading/unloading operations, as well as parking
if necessary.
A stabilized surface, either paved or covered, with 3-inch diameter aggregate or larger.
Perimeter controls such as silt fence, sediment control logs, or other measures.
Construction fencing to prevent unauthorized access to construction materials.
Provisions for Good Housekeeping practices related to materials storage and disposal, as described in
the Good Housekeeping BMP Fact Sheet.
A stabilized construction entrance/exit, as described in the Vehicle Tracking Control BMP Fact Sheet,
to accommodate traffic associated with material delivery and waste disposal vehicles.
Over-sizing the stabilized staging area may result in disturbance of existing vegetation in excess of that
required for the project. This increases costs, as well as
requirements for long-term stabilization following the
construction period. When designing the stabilized staging area,
minimize the area of disturbance to the extent practical.

SSA-2 Urban Drainage and Flood Control District November 2010
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3
See Detail SSA-1 for a typical stabilized staging area and SSA-2 for a stabilized staging area when
materials staging in roadways is required.
Maintenance and Removal
Maintenance of stabilized staging areas includes maintaining a stable surface cover of gravel, repairing
perimeter controls, and following good housekeeping practices.
When construction is complete, debris, unused stockpiles and materials should be recycled or properly
disposed. In some cases, this will require disposal of contaminated soil from equipment leaks in an
appropriate landfill. Staging areas should then be permanently stabilized with vegetation or other surface
cover planned for the development.
Minimizing Long-Term Stabilization Requirements
Utilize off-site parking and restrict vehicle access to the site.
Use construction mats in lieu of rock when staging is provided in an area that will not be disturbed
otherwise.
Consider use of a bermed contained area for materials and equipment that do not require a
stabilized surface.
Consider phasing of staging areas to avoid disturbance in an area that will not be otherwise
disturbed.

Description
Street sweeping and vacuuming remove
sediment that has been tracked onto
roadways to reduce sediment transport
into storm drain systems or a surface
waterway.
Appropriate Uses
Use this practice at construction sites
where vehicles may track sediment
offsite onto paved roadways.
Design and Installation
Street sweeping or vacuuming should be
conducted when there is noticeable
sediment accumulation on roadways adjacent to the construction site. Typically, this will be concentrated
at the entrance/exit to the construction site. Well-maintained stabilized construction entrances, vehicle
tracking controls and tire wash facilities can help reduce the necessary frequency of street sweeping and
vacuuming.
On smaller construction sites, street sweeping can be conducted manually using a shovel and broom.
Never wash accumulated sediment on roadways into storm drains.
Maintenance and Removal
Inspect paved roads around the perimeter of the construction site on a daily basis and more
frequently, as needed. Remove accumulated sediment, as needed.
Following street sweeping, check inlet protection that may have been displaced during street
sweeping.
Inspect area to be swept for materials that may be hazardous prior to beginning sweeping operations.

Description
Manage runoff from paving and grinding
operations to reduce pollutants entering
storm drainage systems and natural

Appropriate Uses
Use runoff management practices during
all paving and grinding operations such
as surfacing, resurfacing, and saw
cutting.
Design and Installation
There are a variety of management
strategies that can be used to manage runoff from paving and grinding operations:
Establish inlet protection for all inlets that could potentially receive runoff.
Schedule paving operations when dry weather is forecasted.
Keep spill kits onsite for equipment spills and keep drip pans onsite for stored equipment.
Install perimeter controls when asphalt material is used on embankments or shoulders near
waterways, drainages, or inlets.
Do not wash any paved surface into receiving storm drain inlets or natural drainageways. Instead,
loose material should be swept or vacuumed following paving and grinding operations.
Store materials away from drainages or waterways.
Recycle asphalt and pavement material when feasible. Material that cannot be recycled must be
disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
See BMP Fact Sheets for Inlet Protection, Silt Fence and other perimeter controls selected for use during
paving and grinding operations.
Maintenance and Removal
Perform maintenance and removal of inlet protection and perimeter controls in accordance with their
respective fact sheets.
Promptly respond to spills in accordance with the spill
prevention and control plan.

G. ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Construction Start Date: ___________________________ Final Stabilization Date: _____________________________
Construction Start Date - This is the day you expect to begin ground disturbing activities, including grubbing, stockpiling, excavating,
demolition, and grading activities.
Final Stabilization Date - in terms of permit coverage, this is when the site is finally stabilized. This means that all ground surface
disturbing activities at the site have been completed, and all disturbed areas have been either built on, paved, or a uniform vegetative
cover has been established with an individual plant density of at least 70 percent of pre-disturbance levels. Permit coverage must be
maintained until the site is finally stabilized. Even if you are only doing one part of the project, the estimated final stabilization
date must be for the overall project. If permit coverage is still required once your part is completed, the permit certification may be
transferred or reassigned to a new responsible entity(s).
H. RECEIVING WATERS (If discharge is to a ditch or storm sewer, include the name of the ultimate receiving waters)
Immediate Receiving Water(s):
Ultimate Receiving Water(s):
Identify the receiving water of the stormwater from your site. Receiving waters are any waters of the State of Colorado. This includes
all water courses, even if they are usually dry. If stormwater from the construction site enters a ditch or storm sewer system, identify
that system and indicate the ultimate receiving water for the ditch or storm sewer. Note: a stormwater discharge permit does not
allow a discharge into a ditch or storm sewer system without the approval of the owner/operator of that system.

WATER RIGHTS
The State Engineers Office (SEO) has indicated that any discharge that does not return water directly to surface
waters (i.e.land application, rapid infiltration basins, etc.) has the potential for material injury to a water right. As a
result, the SEO needs to determine that material injury to a water right will not occur from such activities. To make
this judgment, the SEO requests that a copy of all documentation demonstrating that the requirements of Colorado
water law have been met, be submitted to their office for review. The submittal should be made as soon as possible
to the following address:
Colorado Division of Water Resources
1313 Sherman Street, Room 818
Denver, Colorado 80203
Should there be any questions on the issue of water rights, the SEO can be contacted at (303) 866-3581. It is
important to understand that any CDPS permit issued by the Division does not constitute a water right. The issuance
of a CDPS permit does not negate the need to also have the necessary water rights in place. Additionally, if the
activity has an existing CDPS permit, there is no guarantee that the proper water rights are in place.
I. Required Certification Signature [Reg 61.4(1)(h)]
"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 gather and evaluate the information

information. A street name without an address, intersection, mile marker or other identifying information is not adequate.
2. Latitude/Longitude: For each excavation resulting in a discharge/outfall provide the Latitude/Longitude of the excavation.
If the exact location of the disturbance resulting in discharge is not known, provide the lat/long of the center point of the
construction activity. If identifying the center point of construction activity, make sure to write in ―center point‘ next to
lat/long. The lat/long may be provided as decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, seconds format. This information can be
obtained from a variety of sources, including:
Various Websites: http://terraserver.microsoft.com, http://geocoder.us/, or
www.epa.gov/tri/reports/siting_tool/index.htm
U.S Geological Survey topographical map, available at area map stores
Surveyors or engineers for the construction project should have, or be able to calculate this information using a
Global Positioning System (GPS) unit
Specify whether the Latitude/Longitude information was collected either by using a GPS unit or through Map interpolation.
3. Facility Activity and Schedule: Include the anticipated start date of construction dewatering and provide the length of
time dewatering is anticipated to last. Provide a description of the general nature of the construction activities that are
requiring the dewatering. Also describe if the dewatering discharge is from an open excavation, such as a trench or foundation,
or from groundwater lowering wells. Examples of activity descriptions may include: ‗open trench excavation for installation
of 4,000 linear feet of new water lines‘, or ‗a series of shallow groundwater wells will be installed around the perimeter of the
construction site in order to lower the water table for construction of a new 5,000 square foot music shop—all wells will be
piped to one manifold resulting in one discharge location as indicated on our site sketch.
4. Discharges to ditches and storm sewers: Indicate by checking yes or no whether or not the immediate effluent will be
discharged to a ditch or storm sewer. If yes is marked, the applicant must contact the owner of the ditch or storm sewer
system prior to discharge to verify if the owner will allow a discharge to their system. The owner of the ditch/storm sewer
system may impose additional requirements. Storm drainage systems are typically owned by the city or county they are located
within, and therefore contacting the local city/county is the appropriate place to start. If yes is marked, in Table C or Table D
be sure to include the location of the system and the ultimate receiving waters.
5. Defined or Undefined Discharge: Identify whether the applicant is applying for a Defined or Undefined discharge.
A Defined Discharge is a discharge where the dewatering discharge locations are known at the time of permit application.
If discharge is Defined – enter discharge information in Table C
Page 1 of 3—Revised April 2011
Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit – Construction Dewatering www.coloradowaterpermits.com
An Undefined Discharge is a discharge where the exact dewatering discharge locations are unknown at the time of permit
application. The permit applicant must request the maximum number of potential outfalls (discharges) for the permitted
facility/project. If discharge is Undefined – enter discharge information in Table D. The applicant must identify all
potential receiving streams for the entire project.
If the applicant is requesting undefined discharges, the site specific sampling and monitoring parameters will be selected
based on the potential pollutant sources found within the entire permitted project area and will be applied to all outfall(s).
The most stringent of the surface water limitations for each identified site specific parameter will be applied to each
permitted outfall. For example, if the undefined project includes installation of 8 miles of linear pipeline and leaking
underground storage tanks are expected to present in one section of the project, sampling and monitoring for Benzene,
Toluene, Ethyl benzene, and Xylenes will be required for all requested outfall(s).
Item C- Information for Defined Discharge Location(s).
1. If Defined Discharge was marked in Section B.5 fill out Table C. Table C requires the following information:
Number of discharge(s) (outfalls)—Identify the number of outfalls requested in Table C, this includes
discharges to surface water and groundwater. If there are more than two requested discharges to surface water,
attach a separate piece of paper including all requested information.
Name of the receiving water(s)—If the discharge is to a ditch, identify the ditch and the ultimate receiving
water(s). Receiving waters are any waters of the state of Colorado, even if the natural drainage is usually dry. If
discharge is to groundwater, then fill out the appropriate information within Table C next to G001A, G001A. If
there are more than two discharges to groundwater, attach a separate piece of paper including all requested
information. If the applicant is requesting a discharge to groundwater, please review the Division‘s Low Risk
Discharge Guidance for Discharges of Uncontaminated Groundwater to Land.
http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/wq/PermitsUnit/policyguidancefactsheets/policyandguidance/lowriskgwdischargeto
land.pdf
Discharges performed in accordance with the Guidance for Discharges of Uncontaminated Groundwater to Land
do not require a separate construction dewatering permit.
Narrative description of the approximate location of the discharge—Include a narrative description of the
discharge path. For example, ―the dewatering discharge will enter the storm sewer located at 6th Avenue and
Sheridan which flows to Bear Creek‖ or ―the dewatering will discharge to a field located at 66
th
and Farmers
Road with potential to runoff to Sanders Creek‖. If there is more than one known discharge, include this
descriptive information for all known discharges.
Maximum anticipated flow rate of the discharge (in gallons per minute)—Do not leave this section blank.
Include the maximum flow rate. You may estimate the flow contribution based on pump capacity if data is not
available.
Latitude/Longitude of each discharge location—Include the latitude/longitude of each discharge location. See
the instructions B.2 for information on how to obtain latitude/longitude information.
Item D- Information for Undefined Discharge Location(s).
1. If Undefined Discharge was marked in Section B.5 fill out Table D. Table D requires the flowing information:
Maximum number of potential outfalls (discharges) for the permitted facility—The applicant must identify the
maximum number of discharge locations (outfalls) for the entire construction project. If more than 5 outfalls are
requested, attach a separate piece of paper. DMRs will be sent to the permittee for each requested outfall.
Maximum anticipated flow rate of the discharge (in gallons per minute)—Do not leave this section blank. The
flow rate may be estimated based on pump capacity if data is not available.
Name(s) of the all potential receiving stream(s)—Identify all potential receiving streams for the entire project.
If the discharge is to groundwater then fill out the information in Table D next to G001A, G002A, etc.

INSTALLATION:
WHEN INSTALLING RUNNING LENGTHS OF WATTLES, BUTT THE SECOND
WATTLE TIGHTLY AGAINST THE FIRST, DO NOT OVERLAP THE ENDS. STAKE
THE WATTLES AT EACH END AND FOUR FOOT ON CENTER. FOR EXAMPLE:
A 25 FOOT WATTLE USES 6 STAKES
A 20 FOOT WATTLE USES 5 STAKES
A 12 FOOT WATTLE USES 4 STAKES
STAKES SHOULD BE DRIVEN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WATTLE.
LEAVING 2 - 3 INCHES OF THE STAKE PROTRUDING ABOVE THE WATTLE. A
HEAVY SEDIMENT LOAD WILL TEND TO PICK THE WATTLE UP AND COULD
PULL IT OFF THE STAKES IF THEY ARE DRIVEN DOWN TOO LOW. IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO MAKE A HOLE IN THE WATTLE WITH A PICK END OF YOUR
MADDOX IN ORDER TO GET THE STAKE THROUGH THE STRAW. WHEN
STRAW WATTLES ARE USED FOR FLAT GROUND APPLICATIONS, DRIVE THE
STAKES STRAIGHT DOWN; WHEN INSTALLING WATTLES ON SLOPES, DRIVE
THE STAKES PERPENDICULAR TO THE SLOPE.
DRIVE THE FIRST END STAKE OF THE SECOND WATTLE AT AN ANGLE
TOWARD THE FIRST WATTLE IN ORDER TO HELP ABUT THEM TIGHTLY
TOGETHER. IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY DRIVING THE STAKE INTO EXTREMELY
HARD OR ROCKY SLOPES, A PILOT BAR MAY BE NEEDED TO BEGIN THE

NYLON ROPE SHOULD BE TIED TO THE STAKES ACROSS
THE WATTLE. STAKES SHOULD THEN BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE
BAILING WIRE OR NYLON ROPE IS SUFFICIENTLY SNUG TO
THE WATTLE.
WHEN INSTALLING RUNNING LENGTHS OF WATTLES, TO
PREVENT SHIFTING, BUTT THE SECOND WATTLE TIGHTLY
AGAINST THE FIRST. DO NOT OVERLAP THE ENDS. STAKES
SHOULD BE DRIVEN 1 FT. FROM END, ACROSS FROM AND
ON EACH SIDE OF WATTLE LEAVING 4"-6" OF STAKE

W1 & W2 INSTALLATION NOTES:
1. THE LOCATION AND LENGTH OF WATTLE IS DEPENDENT ON THE CONDITIONS OF EACH SITE.
2. WATTLES SHALL BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO ANY LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITIES.
3. WATTLES SHALL CONSIST OF STRAW, COMPOST, EXCELSIOR, OR COCONUT FIBER.
4. NOT FOR USE IN CONCENTRATED FLOW AREAS.
5. THE WATTLES SHALL BE TRENCHED INTO THE GROUND A MINIMUM OF TWO (2) INCHES.
6. WATTLES SHALL BE INSTALLED PER MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS.
7. ON SLOPES, WATTLES SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON CONTOUR WITH A SLIGHT DOWNWARD ANGLE AT THE END OF THE ROW IN ORDER TO PREVENT
PONDING AT THE MID SECTION.
8. RUNNING LENGTHS OF WATTLES SHOULD BE ABUTTED FIRMLY TO ENSURE NO LEAKAGE AT THE ABUTMENTS.
9. SPACING - DOWNSLOPE:
10. VERTICAL SPACING FOR SLOPE INSTALLATIONS SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY SITE CONDITIONS. SLOPE GRADIENT AND SOIL TYPE ARE THE MAIN
FACTORS. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS:
1:1 SLOPES = 10 FEET APART
2:1 SLOPES = 20 FEET APART
3:1 SLOPES = 30 FEET APART
4:1 SLOPES = 40 FEET APART, ETC.
11. HOWEVER, ADJUSTMENTS MAY HAVE TO BE MADE FOR THE SOIL TYPE: FOR SOFT, LOAMY SOILS - ADJUST THE ROWS CLOSER TOGETHER; FOR HARD,
ROCKY SOILS - ADJUST THE ROWS FURTHER APART. A SECONDARY WATTLE PLACED BEHIND THE ABUTMENT OF TWO WATTLES IS ENCOURAGED ON
STEEP SLOPES OR WHERE JOINTS HAVE FAILED IN THE PAST.
12. STAKING: THE CITY RECOMMENDS USING WOOD STAKES TO SECURE THE WATTLES. 1/2" TO 5/8" REBAR IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE. BE SURE TO USE A
STAKE THAT IS LONG ENOUGH TO PROTRUDE SEVERAL INCHES ABOVE THE WATTLE: 18" IS A GOOD LENGTH FOR HARD, ROCKY SOIL. FOR SOFT LOAMY
SOIL USE A 24" STAKE.
4"-6" ABOVE WATTLE AFTER BAILING WIRE
OR NYLON ROPE IS ATTACHED. STAKES
NEED TO BE TAMPED UNTIL WIRE/ROPE IS
SNUG WITH WATTLE.
