SUBJECT: City Manager Action Item - February 17, 2006
ITEM: Action authorizing the City Manager to execute a Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan for the McNutt Creek
Wastewater Interceptor - Phase I project.
Department: Engineering and Development Services
Staff Person: Michael D. Thane, P.E., Engineering Manager
Justification:
This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) document establishes a plan
to manage the quality of storm water runoff from construction activities associated
with the McNutt Creek Wastewater Interceptor - Phase I project.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires that a SWPPP be
prepared when a construction activity results in the soil disturbance of one or
more acres of total land area. The potential sources of storm water pollution from
the construction of this wastewater line are disturbed soil from clearing and
grubbing the easements, excavation of the tunnel shafts and manholes, and spoils
from tunneling operations. Petroleum products from the operation of equipment
on the site is another potential source of storm water pollution.
Mole Kassouf, J.V., the contractor recently awarded the construction contract, will
be solely responsible for the execution of this plan.

D. Site Description
1. Description of the Construction Activity, Potential Pollutants and Sources
This project consists of installing 8,400 LF of 48" Wastewater Pipeline by tunneling
installation methods. Excavations will occur at tunneling shafts which coincide with
proposed manholes.
The potential sources of storm water pollution from the construction of the McNutt Creek
Wastewater Interceptor — Phase 1 are displaced soil from the construction site and
petroleum products from the operation of equipment on the site.
The primary storm water contaminants expected to be generated during the construction
project is the entrainment of solids (soil particles) which will affect the turbidity of the
run-off water. From this project, disturbed soils will result from:
1
K FRIESE
& ASSOCIATES, INC.
McNutt Creek Wastewater Interceptor — Phase 1A
1. Clearing and grubbing of rights-of-way
2. Excavation of tunnel shafts and manholes
3. Spoils from tunneling operations
Increased sediment loading in the storm water can be attributed to: a) direct impingement
of rain onto disturbed soil areas, sand, gravel and rock areas where rains dislodge or
entrain particles; b) erosion of disturbed soil areas and trenches; c) the transfer of soils
and particulate matter via equipment or vehicle tires onto non -disturbed areas where they
are wasted into drainage ditches; d) discharge from groundwater pumping operations.
There is a potential for hydrocarbon contamination in the form of oil and grease from
equipment, vehicles, and from fuel spillage on the site. Oil and grease are typically
released to the environment because of equipment failure, or routine or non -routine
maintenance operations. Release of fuel can result from on-site fueling operations or
from leakage of temporary fuel storage tanks. Most construction equipment operates
hydraulically; there is a potential that the release of hydraulic fluids may occur. The
primary reason for a hydraulic release is lack of a maintenance program to replace worn
hydraulic hoses, seal failures on hydraulic pistons, and spillage during maintenance
programs.
2. Description of Construction Activities
Construction activities can be divided into two general areas: preparing the construction
site and the construction of the wastewater line itself.
Preparing the construction site consists of removing some trees and brush within the
limits of construction of the planned improvements, excavation of tunnel shafts, and
staging of equipment. Clearing activities are non-contiguous and limited to the areas of
the tunnel shafts, manholes, and lift station. Clearing activities may be completed with
the aid of mechanized equipment, such as front-end loaders and possibly bulldozers, and
may include some hand clearing with chainsaws. Clearing by mechanized equipment
consists of shearing off some select trees at the groundline, gathering (piling) the brush
and trees, then removal of the brush piles.
Construction of the wastewater line consists of tunneling, installing the wastewater line,
grouting pipe in place and reconditioning the job site.
3. Sequence of Major Construction Activities
The order of typical construction activities are as follows:
(a) Notice of Intent/SWPPP Controls. Installation of sediment barriers.
2
K*FRIESE
& ASSOCIATES, INC.
McNutt Creek Wastewater Interceptor — Phase lA
(b) Site Clearing. Removal of brush and some trees.
(c) Installing the wastewater line.
(d) Site Restoration.
(e) Removal of SWPPP Controls/Notice of Termination.
4. Estimates of Total Construction Site Area
The total site area where construction activities that disturb ground will occur is
approximately 7 acres.
5. Site Soil Conditions
The soil type found throughout the McNutt Creek Wastewater Interceptor — Phase 1 is
classified as Holocene and Pleistocene aged alluvium. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture Soil Conservation Service describes this type of soil as consisting of
unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt and clay.
6. Site Map
The construction plans identify the limits of construction and areas where ground
disturbing activities occur. A location map of these areas appears a the end of this
section, "SWPPP Exhibit 1". The Erosion and Sedimentation Controls indicated on the
Plans identify the general location of storm water pollution controls. The plans will be
updated, if necessary, to reflect current construction activities. A copy of the
construction site plan has been included in Attachment A. A separate Erosion and
Sedimentation Control plan is not included, all Sedimentation and Erosion Controls can
be clearly seen on construction plans.
7. Industrial Activity Other Than Construction
There will be no anticipated storm water discharge associated with an industrial activity.
8. Name of Receiving Waters
The project site drains to both Chandler Creek and McNutt Creek.
9. Permit Requirement
A copy of the "TPDES General Permit Number TXR 150000" has been included in
Appendix A of this document.
E. Controls
1. Erosion and Sediment Controls
(a) Temporary Controls
3
K*FRIESE
& ASSOCIATES, INC,
McNutt Creek Wastewater Interceptor — Phase l A
Prior to clearing, and through the construction phase, the contractor will use a
combination of silt fencing and rock berms as temporary controls. Their locations
are shown on the plan sheets.
(b) Permanent Controls
Permanent erosion and sedimentation controls to be used in the project include
vegetative stabilization in areas that will be disturbed during construction
activities. Silt fence and rock berms will be left in place until revegetation is
complete. The following records will be maintained and attached to this plan:
• The dates when major grading activities occur
• The dates when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a
portion of the site
• The dates when stabilization measures are initiated
(c) Other Controls
Any petroleum products and construction chemicals used by the contractor will be
managed so that they do not become a pollutant source for storm water
discharges. This will involve storing petroleum products or chemicals inside
secondary containment devices or inside a sheltered area that is not exposed to
storm water. Additionally, the contractor will implement proper spill prevention
measures and maintain appropriate spill response equipment. In the event of a
spill, any contaminated soils will be promptly removed and containerized for
proper disposal. If the contractor stores bulk quantities (greater than 5 gallons) of
a chemical or petroleum product, the contractor will provide suitable secondary
containment. Construction materials expected to be stored onsite include pipe and
tunnel support materials. Stock piles of spoil material will be enclosed in silt
fence to prevent storm water infiltration. The contractor will update this list of
stored materials as necessary.
The work and the construction office areas are not serviced by sanitary sewers.
Therefore, portable sanitary facilities that contain waste materials for off-site
disposal will be used during the construction phase of the work.
2. Storm Water Management
There are no significant storm water controls (sedimentation basins, etc.) required other
than erosion and sedimentation controls during construction of the wastewater line.
3. Other Pollution Prevention Controls
(a) Waste Disposal
4
K#FRIESE
& ASSOCIATES, INC.
McNutt Creek Wastewater Interceptor — Phase l A
All waste material except scrap timber and brush will be collected in a secure
metal dumpster, which will be regularly emptied. Materials stored in the secure
metal dumpster will not be exposed to storm water because the dumpster will
either have a lid that will remain shut or it will be kept covered with a tarp. No
construction materials will be buried on this site. Waste petroleum products and
waste chemicals will be properly disposed of off-site. Sanitary waste will be
collected and disposed of properly in accordance with local regulations.
(b) State/Local Waste Disposal, Sanitary Sewer an Septic System
Regulations
State and local waste disposal, sanitary sewer and septic system regulations will
be followed in the development of the wastewater line.
(c)
Pollution Sources Other Than Construction
The only expected non -storm water discharge from the project site are dewatering
the shafts and discharge during the tunnel operations. The water will be
discharged through silt fence and then passed through the natural vegetation
between the discharge point and the receiving waters.
Dust will be controlled by periodic wetting with water trucks during dry periods.
Vehicular sediment tracking is not expected to be a problem since the majority of
the traffic will be confined to paved surface and will not be entering the disturbed
areas. Sediment tracked from the construction area will be cleaned -up promptly
so that any impact is minimized.
4. Approved State or Local Plans
State and local regulatory requirements have been reviewed and there are no other known
state or local regulations for sediment and erosion site plans or permits in the project area.
F. Maintenance and Inspections
All erosion and sediment control measures will be maintained in effective operating
condition by following maintenance procedures specified on the construction plans. In
the unlikely event sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of
sediment will be removed at a frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impacts. The
contractor shall comply with the inspection requirements specified in Appendix A. A
discussion of these requirements is found in Appendix A, Section F, Paragraph B.
G. Special Conditions, Management Practices, and Other Non -Numeric Limitations
Non -storm water discharges associated with this project may include pumping of non -
contaminated groundwater during shaft dewatering and tunnel excavation. Both of these
5

described in Part II. G.2.
4. Discharges to Water Quality -Impaired Receiving Waters.
New sources or new discharges of the constituents of concern to impaired waters are
not authorized by this permit unless otherwise allowable under 30 TAC Chapter 305
and applicable state law. Impaired waters are those that do not meet applicable water
quality standards and are listed on the EPA approved Clean Water Act Section
303(d) list. Constituents of concern are those for which the water body is listed as
impaired.
Discharges of the constituents of concern to impaired water bodies for which there
is a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan are not eligible for this
permit unless they are consistent with the approved TMDL and the implementation
plan. Permittees must incorporate the limitations, conditions, and requirements
applicable to their discharges, including monitoring frequency and reporting required
by TCEQ rules, into their storm water pollution prevention plan in order to be
eligible for coverage under this general permit.
5. Discharges to the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone
Discharges cannot be authorized by this general permit where prohibited by 30 Texas
Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 213 (relating to Edwards Aquifer).
(a) For new discharges located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, or
within that area upstream from the recharge zone and defined as the
Contributing Zone, operators must meet all applicable requirements of, and
operate according to, 30 TAC Chapter 213 (Edwards Aquifer Rule) in
addition to the provisions and requirements of this general permit.
(b) For existing discharges, the requirements of the agency -approved Water
Pollution Abatement Plan under the Edwards Aquifer Rules are in addition
to the requirements of this general permit. BMPs and maintenance schedules
for structural storm water controls, for example, may be required as a
provision of the rule. All applicable requirements of the Edwards Aquifer
Rule for reductions of suspended solids in storm water runoff are in addition
to the requirements in this general permit for this pollutant. For discharges
from large construction activities located on the Edwards Aquifer
contributing zone, applicants must also submit a copy of the NOI to the
appropriate TCEQ regional office."

for water quality areas and watersheds.
7. Protection of Streams and Watersheds by Other Governmental Entities
This general permit does not limit the authority or ability of federal, other state, or
local governmental entities from placing additional or more stringent requirements
on construction activities or discharges from construction activities. For example,
this permit does not limit the authority of a home -rule municipality provided by
Section 401.002 of the Texas Local Government Code.
8. Indian Country Lands
Storm water runoff from construction activities occurring on Indian Country lands
are not under the authority of the TCEQ and are not eligible for coverage under this
general permit. If discharges of storm water require authorization under federal
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations, authority for
these discharges must be obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
9. Oil and Gas Production
Storm water runoff from construction activities associated with the exploration,
development, or production of oil or gas or geothermal resources, including
transportation of crude oil or natural gas by pipeline, are not under the authority of
the TCEQ and are not eligible for coverage under this general permit. If discharges
Page 10

Each operator that has submitted an NOI for authorization under this general permit must apply to
terminate that authorization following the conditions described in this section ofthe general permit.
Authorization must be terminated by submitting a Notice of Termination (NOT) on a form supplied
by the executive director. Authorization to discharge under this permit terminates at midnight on
the day the NOT is postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ. If electronic submission of the NOT is
provided, authorization to discharge under this permit terminates immediately following
confirmation of receipt ofthe NOT by the TCEQ. Compliance with the conditions and requirements
of this permit is required until an NOT is submitted.
1. Notice of Termination Required
The NOT must be submitted to TCEQ, and a copy of the NOT provided to the
operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge, within thirty (30) days, after:
(a) final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the
responsibility of the permittee: or
(b) another permitted operator has assumed control over all areas of the site that
have not been finally stabilized; and

either been removed, will be removed on a schedule defined in the SWP3, or
transferred to a new operator if the new operator has applied for permit
coverage. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in place for an
indefinite period, such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be
removed or scheduled for removal.
Section F. Waivers from Coverage
The executive director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit for
storm water discharges from small construction activities under the terms and conditions described
in this section.
1. Waiver Applicability and Coverage
Operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from
the requirements to obtain authorization under this general permit where:
(a) the calculated rainfall erosivity R factor for the entire period of the
construction project is less than five (5);
(b) the operator submits a signed waiver certification form, supplied by the
executive director, certifying that the construction activity will commence
and be completed within a period when the value of the calculated rainfall
erosivity R factor is less than five (5); and
(c) the waiver certification form is submitted to the TCEQ at least two (2) days
before construction activity begins.
2. Effective Date of Waiver
Operators of small construction activities are provisionally waived from the
otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit two (2) days from the date
that a completed waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ.
Page 16
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
3. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period
If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to
circumstances beyond the control of the operator, the operator must either:
(a) recalculate the rainfall erosivity factor R factor using the original start date
and a new projected ending date, and if the R factor is still under five (5),
submit a new waiver certification form at least two (2) days before the end
of the original waiver period; or
(b) obtain authorization under this general permit according to the requirements
delineated in either Part II.D.2. or Part II.D.3. at least two (2) days before the
end of the approved waiver period.
Section G. Alternative TPDES Permit Coverage
1. Individual Permit Alternative
Any discharge eligible for coverage under this general permit may alternatively be
authorized under an individual TPDES permit according to 30 TAC Chapter 305
(relating to Consolidated Permits). Applications for individual permit coverage
should be submitted at least three hundred and thirty (330) days prior to
commencement of construction activities to ensure timely issuance.
2. Individual Permit Required
The executive director may suspend an authorization or NOI in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 30 TAC Chapter 205, including the requirement that the
executive director provide written notice to the permittee. The executive director
may require an operator of a construction site, otherwise eligible for authorization
under this general permit, to apply for an individual TPDES permit because of:
(a) the conditions of an approved TMDL or TMDL implementation plan;
(b) the activity is determined to cause a violation of water quality standards or
is found to cause, or contribute to, the loss of a designated use of surface
water in the state: and
(c) any other considerations defined in 30 TAC Chapter 205 would include the
provision at 30 TAC § 205.4(c)(3)(D), which allows TCEQ to deny
authorization under the general permit and require an individual permit if a
discharger "has been determined by the executive director to have been out
of compliance with any rule, order, or permit of the commission, including
non-payment of fees assessed by the executive director."
Page 17
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
3. Any discharge eligible for authorization under this general permit may alternatively
be authorized under a separate, applicable general permit according to 30 TAC
Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges).
Section H. Permit Expiration
This general permit shall be issued for a term not to exceed five (5) years. Following public notice
and comment, as provided by 30 TAC § 205.3 (relating to Public Notice, Public Meetings, and
Public Comment), the commission may amend, revoke, cancel, or renew this general permit. If the
TCEQ publishes a notice of its intent to renew or amend this general permit before the expiration
date, the permit will remain in effect for existing, authorized, discharges until the commission takes
final action on the permit. Upon issuance of a renewed or amended permit, permittees may be
required to submit an NOI within 90 days following the effective date of the renewed or amended
permit, unless that permit provides for an alternative method for obtaining authorization.
In the event that the general permit is not renewed, discharges that are authorized under the general
permit must obtain either a TPDES individual permit or coverage under an alternative general
permit.
Part III. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3)
Storm water pollution prevention plans must be prepared for storm water discharges that will reach
Waters of the United States, including discharges to MS4 systems and privately owned separate
storm sewer systems that drain to Waters of the United States, to identify and address potential
sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges from the
construction site, including off-site material storage areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, borrow
areas, equipment staging areas, vehicle repair areas, fueling areas, etc., used solely by the permitted
project. The SWP3 must describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to
reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges associated with construction activity at the
construction site and assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
Individual operators at a site may develop separate SWP3s that cover only their portion of the
project provided reference is made to the other operators at the site. Where there is more than one
SWP3 for a site, permittees must coordinate to ensure that BMPs and controls are consistent, and
do not negate or impair the effectiveness of each other. Regardless of whether a single
comprehensive SWP3 is developed, or separate SWP3s are developed for each operator, it is the
responsibility of each operator to ensure that compliance with the terms and conditions of this
general permit is met in the areas of the construction site where that operator has operational control
over construction plans and specifications or day-to-day operational control.
Section A. Shared SWP3 Development
For more effective coordination of BMPs and opportunities for cost sharing, a cooperative effort by
the different operators at a site is encouraged. Operators must independently submit an NOI and
obtain authorization, but may work together to prepare and implement a single comprehensive
SWP3 for the entire construction site.
Page 18
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
1. The SWP3 must clearly list the name and, for large construction activities, the
general permit authorization numbers, for each operator that participates in the
shared SWP3. Until the TCEQ responds to receipt of the NOI with a general permit
authorization number, the SWP3 must specify the date that the NOI was submitted
to TCEQ by each operator. Each participant in the shared plan must also sign the
SWP3.
2. The SWP3 must clearly indicate which operator is responsible for satisfying each
shared requirement of the SWP3. If the responsibility for satisfying a requirement
is not described in the plan, then each permittee is entirely responsible for meeting
the requirement within the boundaries of the construction site where they perform
construction activities. The SWP3 must clearly describe responsibilities for meeting
each requirement in shared or common areas.
Section B. Responsibilities of Operators
1. Operators with Control Over Construction Plans and Specifications
All operators with operational control over construction plans and specifications to
the extent necessary to meet the requirements and conditions of this general permit
must:
(a) ensure the project specifications allow or provide that adequate BMPs may
be developed to meet the requirements of Part III of this general permit;
(b) ensure that the SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where they have
operational control over project specifications (including the ability to make
modifications in specifications);
(c) ensure all other operators affected by modifications in project specifications
are notified in a timely manner such that those operators may modify best
management practices as are necessary to remain compliant with the
conditions of this general permit; and
(d) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators
indicates the name and TPDES permit numbers for permittees with the day-
to-day operational control over those activities necessary to ensure
compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions. In the case that
responsible parties have not been identified, the permittee with operational
control over project specifications must be considered to be the responsible
party until such time as the authority is transferred to another party and the
plan is updated.
Page 19
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Operators with Day -to -Day Operational Control
Operators with day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project that are
necessary to ensure compliance with a SWP3 and other permit conditions must:
(a) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators
meets the requirements of this general permit;
(b) ensure that the SWP3 identifies the parties responsible for implementation
of best management practices described in the plan;
(c) ensure that the SWP3 indicates areas of the project where they have
operational control over day-to-day activities;
(d) ensure that the SWP3 indicates, for areas where they have operational control
over day-to-day activities, the name and TPDES permit number of the parties
with operational control over project specifications (including the ability to
make modifications in specifications).
Section C. Deadlines for SWP3 Preparation and Compliance
1. The SWP3 must be:
(a) completed prior to obtaining authorization under this general permit;
(b) implemented prior to commencing construction activities that result in soil
disturbance;
(c) updated as necessary to reflect the changing conditions of new operators,
new areas of responsibility, and changes in best management practices; and
(d) prepared so that it provides for compliance with the terms and conditions of
this general permit.
Section D. Plan Review and Making Plans Available
1. The SWP3 must be retained on-site at the construction site or, if the site is inactive
or does not have an on-site location to store the plan, a notice must be posted
describing the location of the SWP3. The SWP3 must be made readily available at
the time of an on-site inspection to: the executive director; a federal, state, or local
agency approving sediment and erosion plans, grading plans, or storm water
management plans; local government officials; and the operator of a municipal
separate storm sewer receiving discharges from the site.
2. Operators of a large construction activity obtaining authorization to discharge
through submission of a NOI must post a notice near the main entrance of the
Page 20
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
construction site. If the construction project is a linear construction project (e.g.
pipeline, highway, etc.), the notice must be placed in a publicly accessible location
near where construction is actively underway. Notice for these linear sites may be
relocated, as necessary, along the length of the project. The notice must be readily
available for viewing by the general public, local, state, and federal authorities, and
contain the following information:
(a) the TPDES general permit number for the project (or a copy of the NOI that
was submitted to the TCEQ if a permit number has not yet been assigned);
(b) the name and telephone number of a representative for the operator;
(c) a brief description of the project; and
(d) the location of the SWP3.
3. This permit does not provide the general public with any right to trespass on a
construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site; nor does this permit
require that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction
site.
Section E. Keeping Plans Current
The permittee must revise or update the storm water pollution prevention plan whenever:
1. there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a
significant effect on the discharge of pollutants and that has not been previously
addressed in the SWP3; or
2. results of inspections or investigations by site operators, operators of a municipal
separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, authorized TCEQ personnel,
or a federal, state or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans indicate the
SWP3 is proving ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in
discharges authorized under this general permit.
Section F. Contents of SWP3
The SWP3 must include, at a minimum, the information described in this section.
1. A site description, or project description must be developed to include:
(a) a description of the nature of the construction activity, potential pollutants
and sources;

will disturb soils for major portions of the site;
Page 21
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(c) the total number of acres of the entire property and the total number of acres
where construction activities will occur, including off-site material storage
areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, and borrow areas;
(d) data describing the soil or the quality of any discharge from the site;
(e) a map showing the general location of the site (e.g. a portion of a city or
county map);
(f) a detailed site map (or maps) indicating the following:
(i) drainage patterns and approximate slopes anticipated after major
grading activities;
(ii) areas where soil disturbance will occur;
(iii) locations of all major structural controls either planned or in place;
(iv) locations where stabilization practices are expected to be used;
(v) locations of off-site material, waste, borrow, fill, or equipment
storage areas;
(g)
(vi) surface waters (including wetlands) either adjacent or in close
proximity; and
(vii) locations where storm water discharges from the site directly to a
surface water body.

support to the construction site and authorized under this general permit;
(h) the name of receiving waters at or near the site that will be disturbed or that
will receive discharges from disturbed areas of the project; and
(i)
a copy of this TPDES general permit.
2. The SWP3 must describe the best management practices that will be used to
minimize pollution in runoff. The description must identify the general timing or
sequence for implementation. At a minimum, the description must include the
following components:
(a) Erosion and Sediment Controls
(i)
Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment
on-site to the extent practicable with consideration for local
Page 22
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
topography, soil type, and rainfall. Controls must also be designed
and utilized to reduce the offsite transport of suspended sediments
and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump or channel standing
water from the site.
(ii) Control measures must be properly selected, installed, and
maintained according to the manufacturer's or designer's
specifications. If periodic inspections or other information indicates
a control has been used incorrectly, or that the control is performing
inadequately, the operator must replace or modify the control as soon
as practicable after discovery that the control has been used
incorrectly, is performing inadequately, or is damaged.
(iii) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps and sedimentation
ponds no later than the time that design capacity has been reduced by
50%.
(iv) If sediment escapes the site, accumulations must be removed at a
frequency to minimize further negative effects, and whenever
feasible, prior to the next rain event.
(v) Controls must be developed to limit, to the extent practicable, offsite
transport of litter, construction debris, and construction materials.
(b) Stabilization Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of interim and permanent stabilization
practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be
implemented. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation is preserved
where it is possible.
(i) Stabilization practices may include but are not limited to:
establishment of temporary vegetation, establishment of permanent
vegetation, mulching, geotextiles, sod stabilization, vegetative buffer
strips, protection of existing trees and vegetation, and other similar
measures.
(ii) The following records must be maintained and either attached to or
referenced in the SWP3, and made readily available upon request to
the parties in Part III.D.1 of this general permit:
(a) the dates when major grading activities occur;
(b) the dates when construction activities temporarily or
permanently cease on a portion of the site; and
Page 23
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(c) the dates when stabilization measures are initiated.
(iii) Stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable in
portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or
permanently ceased, and except as provided in (a) through (c) below,
must be initiated no more than fourteen (14) days after the
construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or
permanently ceased.
(a) Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day
after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased
is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground conditions,
stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as
practicable.
(b) Where construction activity on a portion of the site is
temporarily ceased, and earth disturbing activities will be
resumed within twenty-one (21) days, temporary stabilization
measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of site.
(c) In arid areas (areas with an average rainfall of 0 to 10 inches),
semiarid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of 10 to
20 inches), and areas experiencing droughts where the
initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after
construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased
is precluded by seasonably arid conditions, stabilization
measures must be initiated as soon as practicable.
3. Structural Control Practices
The SWP3 must include a description of any structural control practices used to
divert flows away from exposed soils, to limit the contact of runoff with disturbed
areas, or to lessen the off-site transport of eroded soils.
(a) Sediment basins are required, where feasible for common drainage locations
that serve an area with ten (10) or more acres disturbed at one time, a
temporary (or permanent) sediment basin that provides storage for a
calculated volume of runoff from a 2 -year, 24-hour storm from each
disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, shall be provided
where attainable until final stabilization of the site. Where rainfall data is not
available or a calculation cannot be performed, a temporary (or permanent)
sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained is
required where attainable until final stabilization of the site. When
calculating the volume of runoff from a 2 -year, 24-hour storm event, it is not
required to include the flows from offsite areas and flow from onsite areas
that are either undisturbed or have already undergone final stabilization, if
Page 24
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
these flows are diverted around both the disturbed areas of the site and the
sediment basin. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is
feasible, the permittee may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available
area on site, public safety, precipitation patterns, site geometry, site
vegetation, infiltration capacity, geotechnical factors, depth to groundwater
and other similar considerations. Where sediment basins are not feasible,
equivalent control measures , which may include a series of smaller sediment
basins, must be used. At a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or
equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and
for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual
site conditions) of the construction area.
(b) Sediment traps and sediment basins may also be used to control solids in
storm water runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten (10) acres. At
a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment
controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of
the construction. Alternatively, a sediment basin that provides storage for a
calculated volume of runoff from a 2 -year, 24-hour storm from each
disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, may be provided or
where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be performed, a
temporary (or permanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of
storage per acre drained may be provided.
4. Permanent Storm Water Controls
A description of any measures that will be installed during the construction process
to control pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction
operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3. Permittees are only
responsible for the installation and maintenance of storm water management
measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT.
5. Other Controls
(a) Off-site vehicle tracking of sediments and the generation of dust must be
minimized.
(b) The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials
expected to be stored on-site and a description of controls to reduce
pollutants from these materials.
(c) The SWP3 must include a description of pollutant sources from areas other
than construction (including storm water discharges from dedicated asphalt
plants and dedicated concrete plants), and a description of controls and
measures that will be implemented at those sites to minimize pollutant
discharges.
Page 25
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
(d) Velocity dissipation devices shall be placed at discharge locations and along
the length of any outfall channel to provide a non-erosive flow velocity from
the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological
characteristics and functions are maintained and protected.
6. Approved State and Local Plans
(a) Permittees must ensure the SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified
in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or site permits, or storm water
management site plans or site permits approved by federal, state, or local
officials.
(b) SWP3s must be updated as necessary to remain consistent with any changes
applicable to protecting surface water resources in sediment erosion site
plans or site permits, or storm water management site plans or site permits
approved by state or local official for which the permittee receives written
notice.
7. Maintenance
All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified
in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective operating condition. If through
inspections the permittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively,
maintenance must be performed before the next anticipated storm event or as
necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of storm water controls. If
maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, maintenance
must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as practicable. Erosion and sediment
controls that have been intentionally disabled, run -over, removed, or otherwise
rendered ineffective must be replaced or corrected immediately upon discovery.
8. Inspections of Controls
In the event of flooding or other uncontrollable situations which prohibit access to
the inspection sites, inspections must be conducted as soon as access is practicable
(a) Personnel provided by the permittee and familiar with the SWP3 must
inspect disturbed areas of the construction site that have not been finally
stabilized, areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to
precipitation, and structural controls for evidence of, or the potential for,
pollutants entering the drainage system. Sediment and erosion control
measures identified in the SWP3 must be inspected to ensure that they are
operating correctly. Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be
inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking. Inspections must be
conducted at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty
four (24) hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater.
Page 26
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized, where runoff is
unlikely due to winter conditions (e.g. site is covered with snow, ice, or
frozen ground exists), or during seasonal arid periods in arid areas (areas
with an average annual rainfall of 0 to 10 inches) and semi -arid areas (areas
with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 20 inches), inspections must be
conducted at least once every month.
As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every
fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm
event of 0.5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that
these inspections will occur at least once every seven (7) calendar days. If
this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a
specifically defined day, regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall
event since the previous inspection.
(b) Utility line installation, pipeline construction, and other examples of long,
narrow, linear construction activities may provide inspection personnel with
limited access to the areas described in Part III.F.8.(a) above. Inspection of
these areas could require that vehicles compromise temporarily or even
permanently stabilized areas, cause additional disturbance of soils, and
increase the potential for erosion. In these circumstances, controls must be
inspected at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty
four (24) hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches, but representative
inspections may be performed. For representative inspections, personnel
must inspect controls along the construction site for 0.25 mile above and
below each access point where a roadway, undisturbed right-of-way, or other
similar feature intersects the construction site and allows access to the areas
described in Part III.F.8.(a) above. The conditions of the controls along each
inspected 0.25 mile segment may be considered as representative of the
condition of controls along that reach extending from the end ofthe 0.25 mile
segment to either the end of the next 0.25 mile inspected segment, or to the
end of the project, whichever occurs first.
As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every
fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm
event of 0.5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that
these inspections will occur at least once every seven (7) calendar days. If
this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a
specifically defined day, regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall
event since the previous inspection.
(c) The SWP3 must be modified based on the results of inspections, as
necessary, to better control pollutants in runoff. Revisions to the SWP3 must
be completed within seven (7) calendar days following the inspection. If
existing BMPs are modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, an
implementation schedule must be described in the SWP3 and wherever
Page 27
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
possible those changes implemented before the next storm event. If
implementation before the next anticipated storm event is impracticable,
these changes must be implemented as soon as practicable.
(d) A report summarizing the scope of the inspection, names and qualifications
of personnel making the inspection, the dates of the inspection, and major
observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3 must be made and
retained as part of the SWP3. Major observations should include: The
locations of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site;
locations of BMPs that need to be maintained; locations of BMPs that failed
to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; and
locations where additional BMPs are needed.
Actions taken as a result of inspections must be described within, and
retained as a part of, the SWP3. Reports must identify any incidents of non-
compliance. Where a report does not identify any incidents of non-
compliance, the report must contain a certification that the facility or site is
in compliance with the SWP3 and this permit. The report must be signed by
the person and in the manner required by 30 TAC § 305.128 (relating to
Signatories to Reports)
9. The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution
prevention measures for all eligible non -storm water components of the discharge.
Part IV. Numeric Effluent Limitations
Section A. Limitations
All discharges of storm water runoff from concrete batch plants that qualify for coverage, and that
are authorized to discharge storm water under the provisions of this general permit must be
monitored at the following monitoring frequency and comply with the following numeric effluent
limitations:
Limitations Monitoring
Parameter Daily Maximum Frequency
Total Suspended Solids 65 mg/1 1/Year*
Oil and Grease 15 mg/1 1/Year*
pH between 6 and 9 standard units 1/Year*
* If discharge occurs.
Section B. Reporting Requirements
Results of monitoring for determining compliance with numeric effluent limitations must be
recorded on a discharge monitoring report (DMR). The DMR must either be an original EPA No.
3320-1 form (Attachment 3 of this general permit), a duplicate of the form, or as otherwise provided
by the executive director. Monitoring must be conducted prior to December 31' for each annual
Page 28
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
monitoring period. A copy of the DMR must either be retained at the facility or shall be made
readily available for review by authorized TCEQ personnel upon request, by March 31' following
the end of each annual monitoring period. If the results indicate the violation of one or more of
these numeric limitations, the permittee must also submit the DMR to the TCEQ's Information
Resources Center (MC 212) by March 31St of each annual monitoring period.
Part V. Retention of Records
The permittee must retain the following records for a minimum period of three (3) years from the
date that a NOT is submitted as required by Part II.D. For activities that are not required to submit
an NOT, records shall be retained for a minimum period of three (3) years from the date that either:
final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the
permittee; or another permitted operator has assumed control according to over all areas of the site
that have not been finally stabilized. Records include:
1. A copy of the SWP3 plan.
2. All reports and actions required by this permit, including a copy of the construction
site notice.
3. All data used to complete the NOI, if an NOI is required for coverage under this
general permit.
Part VI. Standard Permit Conditions
1. The permittee has a duty to comply with all permit conditions. Failure to comply with any
permit condition is a violation of the permit and statutes under which it was issued, and is
grounds for enforcement action, for terminating coverage under this general permit, or for
requiring a discharger to apply for and obtain an individual TPDES permit.
2. Authorization under this general permit may be suspended or revoked for cause. Filing a
notice of planned changes or anticipated non-compliance by the permittee does not stay any
permit condition. The permittee must furnish to the executive director, upon request and
within a reasonable time, any information necessary for the executive director to determine
whether cause exists for revoking, suspending, or terminating authorization under this
permit. Additionally, the permittee must provide to the executive director, upon request,
copies of all records that the permittee is required to maintain as a condition of this general
permit.
3. It is not a defense for a discharger in an enforcement action that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity to maintain compliance with the permit
conditions.
4. Inspection and entry shall be allowed under Texas Water Code Chapters 26-28, Health and
Safety Code §§ 361.032-361.033 and 361.037, and 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
§ 122.41(i). The statement in Texas Water Code § 26.014 that commission entry of a facility
shall occur according to an establishment's rules and regulations concerning safety, internal
security, and fire protection is not grounds for denial or restriction of entry to any part of the
Page 29
TPDES General Permit TXR150000
facility or site, but merely describes the commission's duty to observe appropriate rules and
regulations during an inspection.
5. The discharger is subject to administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, as applicable, under
Texas Water Code §§ 26.136, 26.212, and 26.213 for violations including but not limited to
the following:
a. negligently or knowingly violating CWA, §§ 301, 302, 306, 307, 308, 318, or 405,
or any condition or limitation implementing any sections in a permit issued under
CWA, § 402, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under
CWA, §§ 402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8);
b. knowingly making any false statement, representation, or certification in any record
or other document submitted or required to be maintained under a permit, including
monitoring reports or reports of compliance or noncompliance.
6. All reports and other information requested by the executive director must be signed by the
person and in the manner required by 30 TAC § 305.128 (relating to Signatories to Reports).
7. Authorization under this general permit does not convey property or water rights of any sort
and does not grant any exclusive privilege.
Part VII. Fees
Section A. Application Fees
An application fee of $100 must be submitted with each NOI for coverage of a large
construction activity. A fee is not required for submission of an NOT or NOC letter.
Section B. Water Quality Fees
Large construction activities authorized under this general permit must pay an annual Water
Quality Fee of $100 under Texas Water Code 26.0291 and according to TAC Chapter 205
(relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges).

Application Fee: This is a fee that is required to be paid at the time the NOI is submitted. Failure to submit the payment at the time the application is filed
will cause delays in acknowledging coverage or denial of cover under the general permit. This payment must be submitted separately using the Payment

Annual Water Quality Fee: This is a fee that is assessed to operators with an active authorization under the general permit on September 1 of each year.

F. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
1. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP)
This plan identifies the areas and activities that could produce contaminated runoff at your site and then tells how you will ensure that this contamination is
mitigated. For example, in describing your mitigation measures, your site's plan might identify the devices that collect and filter storm water, tell how those
devices are to be maintained, and tell how frequently that maintenance is to be carried out. You must develop this plan in accordance with the TCEQ
general permit requirements. This plan must be developed and implemented before you complete this NOI. This plan must be available foraTCEQ
investigator to review on request.
2. Estimated Area of Land Disturbed
Provide the approximate number of acres that the construction site will disturb. Construction activities that disturb less than one acres, unless they are
part of a larger common plan that disturbs more than one acre, do not require permit coverage. Construction activities that disturb between one and five
acres, unless they are part of a common plan that disturbs more than five acres, do not require submission of an NOI. Therefore, the estimated area of
land disturbed should not be less than five, unless the project is part of a larger common plan that disturbs five or more acres. If the acreage is less than 1,
enter 1. "Disturb" means any clearing, grading, excavating, or other similar activities. If you have any questions about this item, please call the storm
water technical staff at (512)239-4671.
3. Receiving Water Body
The storm water from your site eventually reaches a receiving water body such as a local stream or lake, possibly via a drainage ditch. The discharge may
initially be into a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). If applicable, provide the name of the entity that operates the MS4 where the storm water
discharges. An MS4 operator is often a city, town, or utility district, but possibly another form of government.
You must provide the name of the water body that receives the discharge from the construction site (a local stream or lake). Storm water may be discharged
directly to a receiving stream or through a MS4. If known, please include the segment number if the discharge is to a classified water body.

G. OPERATOR CERTIFICATION
The certification must bear an original signature of a person meeting the signatory requirements specified in under 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC)
§305.44. The printed name and title of the person signing the form must be provided. NOI forms with stamped or copied signatures will not be
processed.
IF YOU ARE A CORPORATION:
The regulation that controls who may sign an NOI or similar form is 30 Texas Administrative Code §305.44(a)(1) (see below). According to this
code provision, any corporate representative may sign an NOI or similar form so long as the authority to sign such a document has been delegated to that
person in accordance with corporate procedures. By signing the NOI or similar form, you are certifying that such authority has been delegated to you.
The TCEQ may request documentation evidencing such authority.
IF YOU ARE A MUNICIPALITY OR OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITY:
The regulation that controls who may sign an NOI or similar form is 30 Texas Administrative Code §305.44(a)(3) (see below). According to this code
provision, only a ranking elected official or principal executive officer may sign an NOI or similar form. Persons such as the City Mayor or County
Commissioner will be considered ranking elected officials. In order to identify the principal executive officer of your government entity, it may be beneficial
to consult your city charter, county or city ordinances, or the Texas statute(s) under which your government entity was formed. An NOI or similar document
that is signed by a government official who is not a ranking elected official or principal executive officer does not conform to §305.44(a)(3). The signatory
requirement may not be delegated to a government representative other than those identified in the regulation. By signing the NOI or similar form, you are
certifying that you are either a ranking elected official or principal executive officer as required by the administrative code. Documentation demonstrating your
position as a ranking elected official or principal executive officer may be requested by the TCEQ.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning the signatory requirements discussed above, please contact the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality's Environmental Law Division at 512/239-0600.
30 Texas Administrative Code
§305.44. Signatories to Applications.
(a) All applications shall be signed as follows.
(1) For a corporation, the application shall be signed by a responsible corporate officer. For purposes of this paragraph, a responsible corporate officer

policy or decision-making functions for the corporation; or the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities employing more than
250 persons or havinggross annual sales or expenditures exceeding$25 million (in second-quarter 1980 dollars), if authority to sign documents has been assigned
or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures. Corporate procedures governing authority to sign permit or post -closure order
applications may provide for assignment or delegation to applicable corporate positions rather than to specific individuals.
(2) For a partnership or sole proprietorship, the application shall be signed by a general partner or the proprietor, respectively.
(3) For a municipality, state, federal, or other public agency, the application shall be signed by either a principal executive officer or a ranking elected
official. For purposes of this paragraph, a principal executive officer of a federal agency includes the chief executive officer of the agency, or a senior executive
officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., regional administrator of the EPA).
