INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of preparing and maintaining a stormwater management plan is to improve the health and quality of the State's urban waterways. The preparation and maintenance of the plan will contribute to this objective by facilitating an approach to stormwater management, establishing a program of actions to be used during construction activities, and describing stormwater management controls and various Best Management Practices (BMPs) necessary to reduce erosion, sediment and pollutants in stormwater discharge. Information concerning the State of Colorado General Permit and Stormwater Management Plan are not included in the appendices of this report. The site is over one acre and will require a SWMP permit. This document can be used by the contractor as a part of the required documentation for the permit. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION The Streets Park, Tract A, East Vine Streets Facility P.U.D development is located in the Northwest Quarter of Section 12, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, in the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. Please refer to the vicinity map in Figure 1. The project site is located at the southwest corner of East Vine Drive and 9th Street. The property is bounded by 9th Street on the east, Lots 1A & 2A of East Vine Streets Facility P.U.D. on the west, Burlington & Northern Railroad on the north, and New Belgium Brewery 3rd Subdivision on the south. The property consists of about 8.48 acres of land and will consist of a new restroom facility, parking, walking paths, and recreational area. The total disturbed area will be about 5.05 acres. In addition to this, there will be a few small areas of street cuts (some being off-site) for the installation of utilities serving the new facility. 2 The site generally slopes in a southeasterly direction at approximately 0.4% to 2.0%. It was graded with the development of East Vine Streets Facility P.U.D. The land is currently being used for recreational purposes and stormwater detention. According to FEMA Panel 08069C0981G, there are no mapped FEMA Floodways on this property. Figure 1--Vicinity Map 3 The existing soil type on-site consists of Caruso clay loam (64.6%), Nunn clay loam (7.7%), and Nunn clay loam, wet (27.7%) which are classified as Type D and C, respectively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Please refer to Table 2.1 for additional soil characteristics. Table 2.1: On-site Soil Characteristics Soil Type Percent of Site Hydrologic Soil Group K Factor1 Wind Group2 Caruso clay loam, 0 to 1 % slopes 64.6% D 0.32 6 Nunn clay loam, 0 to 1% slopes 7.7% C 0.32 6 Nunn clay loam, wet, 1 to 3% slopes 27.7% C 0.24 6 1K factors range from 0.02 to 0.69. The higher value, the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water. 2Soils assigned to wind group 1 are the most susceptible to wind erosion, soils assigned to wind group 8 are the least susceptible. Overall, the soils on site can be classified as moderately erodible. Please refer to Appendix D for the on-site soil information from the NRCS Soil Survey of Larimer County. 4 The anticipated sequence of construction shall progress as follows: 1) Site demolition, if any, and as quickly as possible the installation of perimeter erosion control measures (other measures as required for erosion control will be constructed throughout), aggregate bags and construction fence with erosions logs along the south drive (both installed prior to demolition), with a concrete washout and vehicle tracking pad north of the south drive. 2) Clearing, stripping and grading 3) Utility installation 4) Building construction 5) Sub-grade preparation for the drives and sidewalks 6) Curb, gutter and sidewalks 7) Paving 8) Final grading and landscaping. All disturbed ground will be impervious (concrete, asphalt, or building), seeded and mulched, sodded or xeriscaped to permanently stabilize the site. The weighted average 10-year runoff coefficient associated with this project is 0.62. No outside sources of pollution currently exist on this site. Potential pollutant sources brought onto the site during construction will be discussed (along with spill prevention) in Section 3.2 below. The anticipated non-stormwater components of discharge with this project are landscape irrigation return flows. Runoff from the site will flow into and through the rain garden and also toward the existing inlet within the detention pond in the southeast corner of the site. The project is within the City’s Dry Creek Master Basin. The area drains to the existing storm system along 9th Street and is conveyed through currently existing off-site roadside drainage ditches, culverts, storm systems, etc., eventually reaching Dry Creek and the Cache La Poudre River. 5 3. BMPS FOR STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION 3.1. Erosion and Sediment Controls Structural Practices: Structural practices for the site will consist mainly of concrete washout structure, vehicle tracking pad, inlet protection, aggregate bags, erosion logs and erosion logs with construction fence which are described in detail in the following paragraphs. Detail drawings of these BMPs are also included in Appendix A. These BMPs are expected to change as the construction progresses and it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure appropriate BMPs are in place and/or removed at the appropriate time in the construction sequence. All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control practices must be maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. All BMPs shall be inspected and repaired or replaced as indicated in Section 6 and as required to satisfy the conditions of the Permit. Concrete washout structure is intended to contain washout liquids and solids that result from the cleaning of concrete trucks and pumps. Washouts should be placed near the area where the concrete is being poured. Vehicle tracking pad is intended to trap mud and sediment within coarse grain material and provide clean access to public roadways. Wherever construction vehicle access routes intersect paved public roads a vehicle tracking control pad shall be installed to minimize the transport of sediment (mud) by runoff or vehicles tracking onto the paved surface. Pads shall be maintained and refurbished when necessary to obtain their intended result. Inlet protection, aggregate bags, erosion logs and erosion logs with construction fence prevent sediment from entering storm drainage systems prior to permanent stabilization of the disturbed site area via ponding and settling of sediment. Inlet protection shall be placed at inlets on site and at the existing inlets adjacent to the site along 9th Street. Storm inlet protection must be inspected and maintained after every rainfall event that produces runoff. Sediment must be removed and rocks replaced. Erosion logs shall be used at proposed area inlets, storm pipe outlets, and the curb cuts for utility installations. In addition, erosion logs will be used around the perimeter of the wetland area and along the north edge of the south drive, east of the rain garden. Erosion logs with construction fence shall be used as perimeter protection along the back of the south drive, at the toe of the landscaped area. Aggregate bags shall be used as perimeter protection along the 6 downstream side of the street cuts along the south drive. Non-Structural Practices: If there are any low sloped areas exposed during land disturbing activity (stripping, grading, utility installations, stockpiling, filling, etc.) they shall be kept in a roughened condition by ripping or disking along land contours until mulch, vegetation or other permanent erosion control is installed. If there are any steep sloped areas exposed during land disturbing activity (stripping, grading, utility installations, stockpiling, filling, etc.) they shall have slope protection. The contractor shall use a "tracked" vehicle, run perpendicular to slope so that the tracking runs on the contour to inhibit rill/gully erosion; the contractor may use other windrow-type methods as necessary. No soil shall remain exposed by land disturbing activity for more than thirty (30) days. At that time temporary or permanent erosion control seed/mulch, landscaping, etc. is required. Additional Non-Structural Practices are strongly encouraged such as minimizing the disturbance of soils and vegetation, providing educational materials on disposal /recycling, spill prevention / clean up, identification and elimination of illicit discharges, promotion of street sweeping and the development of public education programs. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL ADD ANY AND ALL BMP’S AND DETAILS NEEDED FOR SEDIMENT/EROSION CONTROL. 7 3.2 Materials Handling and Spill Prevention Potential impacts from significant materials and their handling are as follows: Chemicals, cleaning substances, and petroleum products related to the construction will be stored within the construction trailer or storage shed where it will not be in contact with precipitation. No storage of these materials will be allowed outside. Maintenance of equipment shall not take place on site. Fueling will be accomplished off- site. Absorbent (kitty litter) will be in the construction trailer and applied on any spill immediately and the dry material disposed of properly and legally. All construction waste shall be disposed of in the available dumpsters throughout the workday. Liquid wastes will be hauled off site and disposed of properly and legally. Any cleaning or maintenance of small equipment will be required to be done within a containment device (horse trough or small “kiddy pool”) and the liquid disposed of properly and legally. In the event of any spill, the SWMP Administrator shall be immediately notified. Spills can be broken into three categories. Their definitions and the procedures required to address the spills are as follow: Minor Spill – A spill generally of less than 5 gallons which is unlikely to reach adjacent waters (i.e. equipment leak). Procedure: a. Stop the source of the spill. b. Contain the spillage. c. Contact the SWMP Administrator. d. Clean up the spill with on-site absorbent material (kitty litter) e. Dispose of the dry material properly or legally. f. Document the spill and the response in the SWMP including dates and times – verify that the pollutants are completely cleaned up. g. Include incident in the following training meeting. h. Provide information to the City of Fort Collins at the next regular inspection. 8 Significant Spill – A spill of pollutants or oils of any size that will likely or has reached adjacent waters, may endanger health or the environment, or which may exceed a water quality standard. Procedure: a. Stop the source of the spill. b. Contain the spillage. c. Contact the SWMP Administrator. d. Clean up the spill with on-site absorbent material (kitty litter) e. Dispose of the dry material properly and legally. f. Document the spill and the response in the SWMP – verify that the pollutants are completely cleaned up. g. Notify the City of Fort Collins (970) 221-6700 and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment spill reporting line (877) 518-5608 of the spill. h. Notify the same two entities above with a written submission (outlined within the permit) within 5 calendar days. i. Include incident in the following training meeting. Hazardous Spill – A spill of a dangerous substance requiring expert cleanup. Procedure: a. Secure the area – do not approach the spill. b. Offer first aid to any injured parties. c. Call 911 and describe the nature of the spill and any injuries. d. If possible, isolate downstream areas from the spill (for example, cover an inlet that is downstream and a safe distance from the spill with plastic and soil). e. Contact the SWMP Administrator. f. Document the spill and the response in the SWMP g. Notify the City of Fort Collins (970) 221-6700 and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment spill reporting line (877) 518-5608 of the spill. h. Notify the same two entities above with a written submission (outlined within the permit) within 5 calendar days. i. Include incident in the following training meeting. 9 4. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS 4.1. SWMP Administrator The Local Contact and SWMP Administrator is (INSERT CONTACT NAME, POSITION, COMPANY, AND PHONE NUMBER). (INSERT CONTACT) will be responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining, and revising the SWMP. (INSERT CONTACT) will also be responsible for required inspections and coordinating and documenting changes or repairs resulting from inspections. (INSERT CONTACT) will be responsible for the training and enforcement aspects of the SWMP and he is the first point of contact for any stormwater issues. 4.2. Identification of Potential Pollution Sources The permit identifies 13 potential sources that must be evaluated for their potential to contribute pollutants to stormwater discharge. These items have been evaluated below for this project: 1) Disturbed and stored soil – YES – The construction will require that areas be disturbed exposing soil including foundation construction, paving and repaving, slope construction, and demolition required as shown on the plans. BMPs will include erosion logs, aggregate bags or inlet protection on existing and proposed inlets, minimizing disturbance of existing vegetation and hard surfaces, and slope roughening and tracking of slopes after disturbance and prior to landscaping, paving, or building will be implemented. 2) Vehicle tracking of sediment – YES – The construction will require that subgrade be prepared for pavement and that vehicles drive on unpaved surfaces to the proposed buildings and utility improvement locations. BMPs will include a policy that vehicles be clean prior to entering the site and, if they become muddy during construction or earthwork activities, mud is removed by hand from the vehicle prior to departing the site in an area near the vehicle tracking pad. Any soil that is tracked from the site is to be disposed of in the trash dumpster by sweeping or scraping the material off the street. Any muddy vehicle will use the vehicle tracking pad prior to leaving the site. 3) Management of contaminated soil – NO – Soil borings do not indicate any existing contamination. If encountered, dispose of material properly and legally. 10 4) Loading and unloading operations – YES – Chemicals and petroleum products will be brought to the site. Anytime these are being transported, they will be in a sealed container. 5) Outdoor storage activities – YES – Inert materials such as wood and stone will be stored outside and will likely be covered with tarps or plastic, but are not pollutant sources and are not covered by the permit. Chemicals and petroleum products will be stored within the construction trailer or storage shed. Cement and mortar bags (if not contained in a vehicle or storage shed) will be completely covered with plastic to avoid contact with precipitation. 6) Vehicle and equipment maintenance and fueling – YES – Vehicle maintenance and fueling will take place. No fuel will be stored on site. 7) Significant dust or particulate generating processes – NO – The area of heavy construction is very limited; however, in order to control the dust or particulate generating process, a water truck or similar watering device will be available at all times. Please refer to the City of Fort Collins Fugitive Dust Ordinance (Ordinance No. 044, 2016) for more information. 8) Routine maintenance activities involving fertilizers, pesticides, detergents, fuels, solvents, oils, etc. – YES – Fertilizers and pesticides will not be used. Any cleaning or maintenance of small equipment will be required to be done within a containment device (horse trough or small “kiddy pool” and the liquid disposed of properly and legally. 9) On-site waste management – YES – The site construction will result in construction waste. A dumpster for trash and a dumpster for bulk recycling will be on the site. Waste will be hauled to the dumpsters by hand or in loaders. Dumpsters will be hauled off as needed. No construction waste will be left outside overnight without being located in a dumpster. No construction debris (including broken concrete) may be buried on the site. 10) Concrete truck/equipment washing – YES – One mobile concrete washout will be provided on site. This will be used for trucks and for any masonry/concrete tools. 11) Dedicated asphalt of concrete batch plants – NO – None on this project. 12) Non-structural waste sources such as worker trash and portable toilets – YES –Trash dumpster will be available for worker’s trash and will be located near the construction trailer and emptied weekly. Portable toilets will be staked on site near the construction trailer. 13) Other areas where potential spills can occur – NO – The above 12 items are adequate for the anticipated construction process. CONTRACTOR TO UPDATE THE ABOVE INFORMATION WITH EXACT LOCATIONS OF THE CONCRETE WASHOUT, DUMPSTERS, AND PORTABLE TOILETS PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND UPDATED AS NECESSARY THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE. 11 5. FINAL STABILIZATION AND LONG TERM STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Long-term erosion control for this site will be the established vegetative cover, landscaping and xeriscaping along with the completed site improvements (pavement and buildings). All disturbed areas will be paved, sodded or mulched. The soil in such areas shall be thoroughly loosened to a depth of not less than eight (8) inches; and soil amendments shall be thoroughly incorporated into the soil of such areas to a depth of at least six (6) inches by tilling, discing or other suitable method, at a rate of at least three (3) cubic yards of soil amendment per one thousand (1,000) square feet of area to be planted, unless at least four (4) inches of loose top soil has been placed on the area after completion of construction activity on top of not less than four (4) inches of loosened subgrade soils. Final stabilization shall be considered achieved once the over-lot grading is complete and all vegetation is established. Vegetation shall not be considered established until a ground cover is achieved which is demonstrated to be mature enough to control soil erosion (70% of the original vegetative cover of 100%). 12 6. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Site inspections will be performed to effectively address maintenance, repair, and adequacy of BMPs. The site inspections will be performed by the SWMP Administrator or his designee a minimum of once every fourteen (14) calendar days on active construction sites and within 24 hours after a significant storm event (event causing erosion). As part of the site inspections the inspector will keep documentation of all inspections and BMP maintenance, including updated Site Maps indicating new BMPs or the removal of BMPs since the previous inspection. Blank Site Maps will be utilized and will be redlined by the SWMP Administrator throughout construction to note all BMPs, pollutant sources, storage locations, etc. Any maintenance, repair, or necessary installation of BMPs that are noted during the inspection must begin immediately. The modifications shall be noted in the SWMP and the action taken as a result of the inspection shall be noted and certified on or attached to the original inspection report (date and time that the repair or change was started and finished and a certification that it was done properly). 6.1. City of Fort Collins Standard Erosion and Sediment Control Notes 1) The City Stormwater Department erosion control inspector must be notified at least 24 hours prior to any construction on this site. 2) All required BMPs shall be installed prior to any land disturbing activity (stockpiling, stripping, grading, etc.). All of their required erosion control measures shall be installed at the appropriate time in the construction sequence as indicated in the approved project schedule, construction plans, and erosion control report. 3) Pre-disturbance vegetation shall be protected and retained wherever possible. Removal or disturbance of existing vegetation shall be limited to the area required for immediate construction operations, and for the shortest practical period of time. 4) All soils exposed during land disturbing activity (stripping, grading, stockpiling, filling, etc.) shall be kept in a roughened condition by ripping or disking along land contours until mulch, vegetation, or other permanent erosion control is 13 installed. No soils in areas outside project street rights of way shall remain exposed by land disturbing activity for more than thirty (30) days before required temporary or permanent erosion control (e.g. seed/mulch, landscaping, etc.) is installed, unless otherwise approved by the Stormwater Department. 5) The project must be watered and maintained at all times during construction activities so as to prevent wind-caused erosion. All land disturbing activities shall be immediately discontinued when fugitive dust impacts adjacent properties, as determined by the City Engineering Department. 6) All temporary (structural) erosion control measures must be inspected and repaired or reconstructed as necessary after each runoff event and every 14 days in order to assure continued performance of their intended function. All retained sediments, particularly those on paved roadway surfaces, shall be removed and disposed of in a manner and location so as not to cause their release into any drainage way. 7) No stockpile shall exceed ten (10) feet in height. All soil stockpiles shall be protected from sediment transport by surface roughening, watering, and perimeter silt fencing. Any soil stockpile remaining after 30 days shall be seeded and mulched. 8) City Ordinance prohibits the tracking, dropping, or depositing of soils or any other material onto city streets by or from any vehicle. Any inadvertent deposited material shall be cleaned immediately by the contractor. 6.2. City of Fort Collins Erosion Control Security Calculations The cost of erosion control for the site was compared to the cost to reseed the entire site and the greater cost was used to establish the erosion control escrow amount. The cost to reseed the site is estimated at $6157.50. Using a multiplier of 1.5 the erosion control escrow amount would be $9236.25. The site erosion control cost is estimated at $5980.00. Using a multiplier of 1.5 the erosion control escrow amount would be $8970.00. The larger sum of the Erosion Control cost and the Reseeding cost shall be used for the escrow account. Therefore, the Erosion Control Escrow amount is $9236.25. See Table 6.1 for a break-down of the costs associated with seeding and erosion control. 14 Table 6.1: Erosion Control Cost Estimate ITEM QUANTITY UNIT COST/UNIT TOTAL COST Inlet Protection (IP-1) 3 EA $ 150.00 $ 450.00 Inlet Protection (EL-IP) 3 EA $ 75.00 $ 225.00 Inlet Protection (EL-OUT) 1 EA $ 75.00 $ 75.00 Erosion Log (El) 955 LF $ 2.00 $ 1,910.00 Aggregate Bag Protection (AB) 360 LF $ 2.00 $ 720.00 Erosion Log w/ Construction Fence (EL, CF) 60 LF $ 5.00 $ 300.00 Concrete Washout (CW) 1 EA $ 800.00 $ 800.00 Vehicle Tracking Pad (VTP) 1 EA $ 1,500.00 $ 1,500.00 Subtotal $ 5,980.00 Contingency (50%) $ 2,990.00 Total $ 8,970.00 CITY RESEEDING COST Reseed/Mulch 4.105 ACRE $ 1,500.00 $ 6,157.50 Subtotal $ 6,157.50 Contingency (50%) $ 3,078.75 Total $ 9,236.25 CALCULATED EROSION CONTROL ESCROW AMOUNT $9,236 Note: Minimum Escrow Amount is $3,000. 15 7. SWMP IMPLEMENTATION It is the responsibility of the contractor to operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control which are installed to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. This includes effective performance, adequate funding, adequate staffing and training, etc. (see permit). All personnel on the construction site who will be in a position to affect or be affected by the SWMP shall be trained prior to beginning work. These individuals will be given general orientation information regarding the project and SWMP, shown where the SWMP is physically located, the SWMP will be explained to them and available for their review, and the enforcement policy will be reviewed. After this training, a certification that the employee or subcontractor’s employee is familiar with the document and its procedures will be signed. Copies of these certifications are included in the Appendix. Throughout the construction, as a part of a weekly safety meeting, the SWMP will be reviewed with all attendees and any incidents discussed. All attendees shall be logged.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter and on soil structure and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69. Other factors being equal, the higher the value, the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water. "Erosion factor Kw (whole soil)" indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments.
