RE: Stormwater Management Plan
Fox Grove Subdivision
Lot 2, Lee MLD
To Whom It May Concern:
Northern Engineering Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this Stormwater Management Plan for Fox
Grove Subdivision. 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.

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 The Fox Grove Subdivision 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 issued by the Water Quality
Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (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.

Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 2
2.0 Narrative Site Description
2.1 Existing Site Description
The project site is located in the northwest quarter of Section 15, Township 7 North, Range 68
West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado. The
subject property is currently leased for farming purposes. The ground cover generally consists of
row crops. Existing ground slopes are mild to moderate (i.e., 1 - 6±%) through the interior of the
property. General topography slopes from north to south. Bounded to the north the Sunflower
Subdivision, to the west by Boxelder Creek, to the south by a drainage ditch and undeveloped
farmland, and to the east by Clydesdale Subdivision.
2.2 Wind and Rainfall Erodibility
The site is located within a moderate risk Erodibility Zone per the City of Fort Collins Wind
Erodibility Map. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service website -
www.websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov, the applicable soil erosion factor (K), which indicates the
susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion, is 0.30. This value is indicative of soils moderately
susceptible to rainfall erosion.
Impervious area (i.e., roof area, concrete walks and asphalt roadways) and landscaping will
permanently stabilize the areas disturbed by the proposed construction activity; therefore, the
likelihood of erosion and sediment problems occurring on-site is minimal.During the interim period,
in which the disturbed areas are open, the BMPs described herein were selected to prevent erosion
and limit sediment migration.
2.3 Nature of Construction Activity
The proposed project site plan is composed of single-family homes. This site will employ many
water quality features and runoff reduction facilities including porous landscape detention ponds,
and drywells. Overlot grading will occur first. Next, the installation of proposed utilities (e.g.
sanitary sewer, waterlines and storm drain). Afterwards, concrete curb and gutter and paving will
be installed for the proposed streets. Once the infrastructure is completed for the development, the
structures will be constructed.
2.4 Sequence of Major Activities
To complete the project, many basic categories of construction activity will take place. The first
part of the project will consist of overlot grading. Within this phase, protection will need to be
supplied for perimeter protection. With the surroundings, type of perimeter protection will vary due
to the differing types of ground material. It will be the Contractor’s responsibility to implement the
appropriate measure to suit the installation and type of ground material. This will be followed by
utility installation. New curb/gutter, paving, and sidewalks are expected to begin after the utility
installation. The final stages of site construction will be building construction, fine grading of the
areas around the buildings, and the installation of landscaping throughout the project. The
aforementioned sequencing is an initial best guess, and is subject to change at the Contractor’s
discretion.
2.5 Site Disturbance
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 3
The site disturbance will occur in and off of the project property is approximately 19.68 acres.
Grading of the entire site is expected in order to reach final grades within Phase I. The detention
pond within Tract A is expected to be expanded with Phase II.
2.6 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 Northern Engineering Services on
December 2012.
In addition to the field survey, a geotechnical report was used to determine existing soil types found
on-site. According to the a report by Earth Engineering Consultants dated April 18, 2013 lists the
soils for the area as consisting of layers of sandy clay and clayey sand. These soils are classified as
Hydrologic Soil Group C and have a low infiltration rate.
2.7 Existing Vegetation
The existing site’s ground cover generally consists of row crops. The approximate percent existing
vegetative cover is 30%. It is highly recommended that pre-construction photos be taken to
clearly document vegetative conditions prior to any disturbance activities.
2.8 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)
Management of Contaminated Soils: We are not aware of on-site contaminated soils. However, the
contractor should conduct a thorough, pre-construction environmental site assessment. If
contaminated soils are discovered, the contractor will identify appropriate practices and procedures
for the specific contaminants discovered on-site.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 4
Loading and Unloading Operations: During site demolition, material loading and unloading will
occur on-site. As site development and building construction progresses, space constraints will limit
the number of on-site locations for loading and unloading activities to the site. The contractor will
be responsible for the proper handling and management of traffic control and pollution sources
during loading and unloading operations.
Dedicated Asphalt and Concrete Batch Plants: Neither a dedicated asphalt or concrete batch plant
will be constructed on-site.
2.9 Non-stormwater discharges
The Stormwater Construction Permit only covers discharges composed entirely of stormwater.
Emergency firefighting water is the only authorized exception. Concrete Washout water can NOT be
discharged to surface waters or to storm sewer systems without separate permit coverage. The
discharge of Concrete Washout water to the ground, under specific conditions, may be allowed by
the Stormwater Construction Permit when appropriate BMPs are implemented.
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.
2.10 Receiving Waters
The site currently overland flows to a drainage ditch along the south side of the property. This
drainage ditch conveys storm release from Clydesdale Subdivision to Boxelder Creek. The ultimate
outfall for the drainage ditch is Boxelder Creek.
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.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 5
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 determination as to what practices should be
employed and when. In the event that a review agency deems BMPs to be insufficient, it shall be
the responsibility of the contractor to implement modifications as directed.
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.
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 eastern, and southern
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 6
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), drainage swales, and at all stormwater discharge locations other than inlets.
Rock Socks
Rock Socks are proposed to reduce the velocity of water leaving the project site and introduce
another opportunity for sediment removal. Rock Sock heights should allow for pools to develop
upstream, creating minor backwaters to both reduce velocities and to allow sediment deposition.
The rock socks should be spaced so that the top of each dam is equal in elevation to the toe of the
next upstream check dam.
Rock socks should be inspected regularly for gaps or holes which would allow water to pass through
the structures untreated. The accumulated sediment should be removed and typically prior to the
sediment depth reaching half the height of the check dam.
At a minimum, check dams shall be installed at along the street curb and gutter upstream of
proposed inlets and detention facilities.
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 a vehicle tracking pad is at the proposed access to the site from Carriage
Parkway.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 7
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 Contractor shall provide inlet protection for all proposed inlets as they are installed (Phase II
implementation).
Concrete Washout Area (Phase II-III)
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.
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 interior to the site, away from
discharge points. This location is a suggestion only, and can be relocated at the discretion of the
Contractor.
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 an approved Landscaping Plan.
Sediment Trap (Phase I & II)
Sediment traps are formed by excavating an area or by placing an earthen embankment across a
low area or drainage swale. Sediment Traps are designed to capture drainage from disturbed areas
less than one acre and allow settling of sediment.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 8
Sediment Traps should be inspected for stability and seepage. Accumulated sediment should be
removed as needed to maintain the effectiveness of the sediment trip, typically when the sediment
depth is half the height of the outflow embankment.
A Sediment Trap shall be installed at the outlet structure of the Porous Landscape Detention facility
as soon as possible upon completion of the outlet structure, and will remain in place until the
porous landscape detention pond is completed. The Sediment Trap will help reduce sediment
discharge into the receiving drainage way by filtering at the prior to entering the pond.
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.
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.
No existing vegetation is expected to be preserved with this development.
Stockpile Management (Phases I-IV)
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. The location of
any such stockpiles shall be the responsibility of the SWMP Administrator.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 9
Mulching (Phase I-IV)
Mulching helps reduce erosion by protecting bare soil from rainfall impact, increasing infiltration,
and reducing runoff. Although often applied in conjunction with temporary or permanent seeding, it
can also be used for temporary stabilization of areas that cannot be reseeded due to seasonal
constraints. The most common type of mulch used is hay or grass that is crimped into the soil to
keep it secure. However, crimping may not be practical on slopes steeper than three to one
(3H:1V).
The Contractor shall mulch all planted areas within twenty-four (24) hours after planting. Only
weed-free and seed-free straw mulch may be used. Straw mulch should be applied at two (2) tons
per acre, and shall be adequately secured by crimping, tackifier, netting or blankets. Hydraulic
mulching may also be used on steep slopes or where access is limited. In the case that hydraulic
mulching is utilized, the Contractor shall use wood cellulose fibers mixed with water at two
thousands to two thousand five hundred (2,000-2,500) pounds per acre and organic tackifier at
one hundred to four hundred (100-400) pounds per acre.
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.
Street Sweeping (Phases I -IV)
Street sweeping 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 the area inlet protection should be completed after sweeping to ensure nothing was
displaced during sweeping operations. Street sweeping can reduce the sediment washed into the
existing storm drain system. Street sweeping may be necessary on the existing hardscape areas
which receive runoff from the disturbed areas.
Saw Cutting Pollution Prevention (Phase I)
The following protocol is recommended to prevent dust and slurry from asphalt and concrete saw
cutting activities from migrating into the existing storm drain system.
Slurry and cuttings shall be vacuumed during cutting and surfacing operations
Slurry and cuttings shall not remain on permanent concrete or asphalt pavement
overnight
Slurry and cuttings shall not drain to any natural or constructed drainage conveyance
Collected slurry and cuttings shall be disposed of in a manner that does not violate
groundwater or surface water standards
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.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 10
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.
Included in the back map pockets are five Site Plans: a “Static” Site Plan and four “Dynamic” Site
Plans. 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
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 11
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.
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.
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 12
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.
4.0 Final Stabilization and Long-Term Stormwater Management
4.1 Final Stabilization
All disturbed areas will be seeded, crimped and mulched or sod in accordance to an approved
Landscaping Plan. 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
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 13
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 method of long-term stormwater management will take place within the paver section before
being discharged into the Dixon Canyon Lateral. All disturbed areas will receive permanent paving
or will be vegetated per and approved Landscaping Plan.
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.
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:
Fox Grove Subdivision
Stormwater Management Plan 14
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.
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.

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
submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for
gathering the information, the information submitted is to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate and
complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine
and imprisonment for knowing violations."
―I understand that submittal of this application is for coverage under the State of Colorado General Permit for Discharges
Associated with Construction Dewatering for the entirety of the construction site/project described and applied for,
until such time as the application is amended or the certification is transferred, inactivated, or expired.‖

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,

STAKES SHOULD BE DRIVEN ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER
AND ON EACH SIDE OF THE WATTLE. LEAVING 4"-6" OF
STAKE PROTRUDING ABOVE THE WATTLE. BAILING WIRE OR
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
PROTRUDING ABOVE THE WATTLE. BAILING WIRE OR
NYLON ROPE SHOULD BE TIED TO STAKES IN AN HOUR
GLASS FORMATION (FRONT TO BACK OF WATTLE "A",
ACROSS TO FRONT OF WATTLE "B", ACROSS TO BACK AND
BACK TO FRONT OF WATTLE "A"). STAKES SHOULD THEN BE
DRIVEN IN UNTIL BAILING WIRE OR NYLON ROPE IS

1. NUMBER OF WATTLES AND SPACING SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE SLOPE AND SITE CONDITIONS.
2. TUBULAR MARKERS SHALL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES (MUTCD)
3. CITY RECOMMENDS INSTALLING AT LEAST 3 CHECKDAMS WHEN USING THIS SETUP.
LIP OF GUTTER
WEIGHTED WATTLE
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.
IF THE AREA BEHIND THE INLET IS NOT STABILIZED, A
BMP SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT SEDIMENT FROM
ENTERING THE INLET
1"x 1" WOOD STAKES
18"-24"
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL INSPECT WATTLES EVERY TWO WEEKS AND AFTER ANY SIGNIFICANT STORM EVENT AND MAKE REPAIRS OR REMOVE SEDIMENT
ACCUMULATED BEHIND WATTLE AS NECESSARY.
SEDIMENT ACCUMULATED BEHIND WATTLE SHALL BE REMOVED WHEN THE SEDIMENT HAS ACCUMULATED TO ONE HALF THE DIAMETER OF THE WATTLE.
WATTLES SHALL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE UPSTREAM DISTURBED AREA IS STABILIZED AND IS ACCEPTED BY THE CITY.
