1. 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 Spradley Barr Ford Subdivision is located in the Northeast Quarter of Section 2,
Township 6 North, Range 68 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, in the City of Fort
Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. Please refer to the vicinity map in Appendix A.
The project site is located southwest of the corner of Mason Street and South College
Avenue and is on the existing Spradley Barr Ford site. The project will build a 12,000 sf
addition to the existing structure for a body shop. The new structure will be over
existing paved areas. The total disturbed area will be about 0.7 acres.
The site generally slopes in an easterly direction at approximately 1.0%. The land is
currently being used as parking with an asphalt surface.
According to FEMA Panel 08069C1000F there are no mapped FEMA Floodways on this
property.

The existing soil type on-site consists of Nunn clay loam (100%) which is classified as
Type C by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Please refer to Table 2.1 for
additional soil characteristics.

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.

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), the concrete washout and vehicle tracking pad on the
southwest corner of the project.
2) Clearing, stripping and grading
3) Utility installation
4) Sub-grade preparation for the drives
5) Building construction
6) Curb, gutter and concrete
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.
9) Building occupancy
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 through the
proposed storm system toward the existing system in the parking lot. The project is
within the City’s Fossil Creek Master Basin. The area drains to the existing storm system
and detention pond in the development and eventually reaches the Fossil Creek Reservoir
Inlet Ditch (FCRID).

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 on existing asphalt (Tracking Pads LLC or
approved equal) and drop inlet protection (Dandy Bags or approved equal) 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 on existing asphalt (Tracking Pads LLC or approved equal) 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.
Drop inlet protection (Dandy Bag or approved equal) prevents sediment from entering
storm drainage systems prior to permanent stabilization of the disturbed site area via
ponding and settling of sediment. Drop Inlet protection shall be used as protection at the
proposed and existing area inlets in the parking area. Storm inlet protection must be
inspected and maintained after every rainfall event that produces runoff. Remove all
accumulated sediment and debris from the surface and vicinity of the unit after each
storm event. Remove the sediment that has accumulated within the containment area of
the unit as needed. If using optional oil absorbents, remove and replace absorbent pillow
when near saturation.
6
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 exposed 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)

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 aggregate bags 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.

CONCRETE WASHOUT, DUMPSTERS, AND PORTABLE TOILETS PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT
OF CONSTRUCTION AND UPDATED AS NECESSARY THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION
SEQUENCE.

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 $1,108.05. Using a multiplier of 1.5 the erosion control
escrow amount would be $1,662.08. The site erosion control cost is estimated at
$2,500.00. Using a multiplier of 1.5 the erosion control escrow amount would be
$3,750.00. 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 $3,750.
See Table 6.1 for a break-down of the costs associated with seeding and erosion control.

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.

Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. 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.

Description
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. 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.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
