NOTICE TO BIDDERS Minnesota Statutes that require prompt payment to subcontractors: 471.425 Prompt payment of local government bills. Subd. 1. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings here given them.

(d) "Municipality" means any home rule charter or statutory city, county, town, school district, political subdivision or agency of local government. "Municipality" means the metropolitan council or any board or agency created under chapter 473.

Subd. 4a. Prompt payment to subcontractors. Each contract of a municipality must require the prime contractor to pay any subcontractor within ten days of the prime contractor's receipt of payment from the municipality for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. The contract must require the prime contractor to pay interest of 1-1/2 percent per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor on any undisputed amount not paid on time to the subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the prime contractor shall pay the actual penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from a prime contractor must be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.

Introduction Page

Minnesota Department of Transportation Schedule of Materials Control (SMC)

(Federal Aid, State Funds, County/Municipal Federal Aid Projects and State Aid Projects)

This schedule outlines the minimum sampling and testing required for most materials used in highway construction. Some items that are rarely used or materials of recent development are often covered by special provisions and may not be shown on the schedule. For more information regarding contract requirements for testing, please reference the "Standard Specifications for Construction", Specification 1603 Materials: Specifications, Samples, Tests, and Acceptance. Laboratories performing acceptance tests for payment shall be accredited by the AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) or a comparable accreditation program approved by MnDOT and the FHWA for all test procedures performed. Grading and Base materials are exempt from the accreditation requirement. When sample sizes required for testing exceed 35 pounds, please submit multiple containers of the material with no individual container weighing more than 35 pounds. Small quantities of materials may be accepted without sampling and testing. A small quantity is defined as any total quantity, for the whole project, of one material, which is smaller than the minimum quantity required for testing unless modified by the individual material items. These materials shall be from known, reliable sources, perform satisfactorily and meet the requirements for purpose intended. The inspection report (Form 02415) should include a statement to this effect and show the source. Form 2403 may be used to report small quantities of diverse materials from different sources. Form 02415 and Form 2403 (or approved revisions) are referenced in the Schedule of Materials Control for project record documentation and are required to be maintained in the project file. Previously approved materials transferred from another project should be reported on Form 02415. The report should include: type of material, quantities involved, source, and supplier of materials. Whenever possible, include the project number for which the material was originally approved. If Forms 02415 and 2403 are referenced by form number within the Schedule of Materials Control for materials or products received from pre-approved sources, where the field responsibility for acceptance is visual inspection and all information required to complete these forms is contained in other documents in the project file, the use of these forms becomes optional. If these forms are completed and sent to the Project Engineer by off-site inspection personnel from the district or the Office of Materials, they must be retained in the project file. A Telephone Index is included with the Schedule giving contact information for the specialty areas if further information is required regarding the various materials. A form index is also included. The Department maintains the Approved/Qualified Products List and the Certified Products and Services List, as well as, the Schedule of Materials Control. All are available electronically on the Office of Materials and Road Research website. www.dot.state.mn.us/materials.html Products manufactured offsite may be pre-approved; however, final acceptance will be made at the point of incorporation, based upon review of documentation and inspection for shipping or other damage. Contact the MnDOT District Independent Assurance Inspector when project starts to provide the proper servicing of your project.

General Notes: Sampling and Testing Procedures are found in the Grading and Base Manual in Section 5-692.200. Obtain all gradation, quality and crushing samples after spreading and before compaction. Modify testing and sampling protocol for increases in Plan quantities as follows:

Time Plan Quantity Increased Testing and Sampling Before Collection of first sample. Reorder sampling to account for additional quantity. After Collection of first sample, but before sampling is complete.

Complete testing of current lot, and then reorder the sampling using the remaining quantity.

After collection of all original Plan quantity samples. Order sampling for additional quantity.



Note 1: Samples are not required for 280 yd3 (CV) (500 tons) or less. Report small quantities on Form 02415 or Form 2403. http://www.dot.state.mn.us/const/tools/forms.html. Note 2: Laboratories with AMRL accreditation that perform Agency Verification testing are not required to submit companion samples. When Verification testing is not performed in an AMRL accredited facility, obtain the Companion/Lab sample as a split sample from the first Agency Verification sample, and include the gradation results on the sample card. Note 3: Companion gradation and proctor, and Verification crushing and aggregate quality samples are not required for 550 yd3 (CV) (1,000 tons) or less. Note 4:

• Carbonate aggregates require 50 lb. samples for lab testing. • Submit the initial aggregate quality and crushing sample from the first day’s production. • The crushing test will not be required when the material is crushed from a quarry. • A second test is required, when the first test fails. Average both tests to determined compliance, when two tests are performed. • Not all quality and crushing tests are required for each material, see specifications • Use the table below as a guideline, determination of specific required tests is through the Specifications and/or the Special Provisions.

Note 5: Tests may be reported on Grading and Base forms or on MnDOT LIMs Reports. Forms are available on the Grading & Base website at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/materials/gradingandbase.html

Note 6: Use the Centrifuge Method (MnDOT Lab. Manual Method 1852) to determine bitumen content. Note 7: Major soil types are defined in the Triaxial Chart located in the Grading and Base Manual. Note 8: Required only for specified density. Note 9: Required during Compaction. For Quality Compaction of Shoulder Aggregate (2118 or 2221), the Engineer may replace the moisture testing requirement with time stamped photo documentation of water being applied. Note 10: Provide gradation test results to the Engineer within the first 500 feet (150 m) of production and within 500 feet (150 m) after a failing gradation. Note 11: The Contractor may use a one point Proctor, or the estimated optimum moisture content formula (Form G&B- 305) to determine the optimum moisture. Note 12: For Subgrade Preparation, the specified density requirement is 100% of proctor density.

2360 Contractor cuts two cores at each location. In the laboratory, measure, and saw cores into separate lifts. Sawing of cores into separate lifts is required. Schedule the approximate time of testing during normal project work hours so the Agency may observe and record the saturated surface dry and immersed weight of the cores. A completed Core Density Incentive/Disincentive worksheet is to be submitted to the Laboratory (Agency field or District/Division).

Complete core stationing spreadsheet to determine core locations and then mark all coring locations on the pavement. Once the Contractor has measured and sawed the Agency companion cores transport them to the Agency field lab or District Lab for testing. Transport the cores as soon as possible to the testing lab taking care to prevent damage due to improper handling or exposure to heat. Selects at least one of the two companion cores per lot to test for verification. REMARKS: Note #3 & Note #6.

MnDOT SD-15 November 1, 2013 Schedule of Materials Control P a g e 2 1 IV. Concrete Construction Items (www.dot.state.mn.us/materials/concrete.html)

The testing rates shown in this Schedule of Materials Control are minimums. Take as many tests as necessary to ensure quality concrete. All samples shall be taken in a random manner using an appropriate number generator. All field samples shall be taken at the point of placement unless otherwise allowed by the Engineer. It is recommended that the Agency Plant Monitor be present during critical pours, such as superstructure or paving concrete (i.e. 3A21, 3Y16, 3Y33, 3Y36, 3Y46, JMF mixes). If any field test fails, reject the concrete or if the Producer makes adjustments to the load to meet requirements, record the adjustments on the Certificate of Compliance and the Weekly Concrete Report. Retest the load and record the adjusted test results. Make sure the next load is tested before it gets into the work. If batching adjustments are made at the plant, test the adjusted load, before it gets into the work. Continue to test the concrete when test results are inconsistent or marginal. The first load of concrete for any pour must have passing air content and slump results, prior to placing.

Material not meeting requirements shall not knowingly be placed in the work. If failing concrete inadvertently gets placed in the work, review either the MnDOT Standard Specifications for Construction or contact the Concrete Engineering Unit for monetary deductions recommendations. It is recommended that the Agency representative continually monitor the progress of all concrete pours in the field and review Certificates of Compliances. It is not a recommended practice to only perform minimum testing requirements and leave the pour. Should circumstances arise on a project which makes the testing rate impractical, contact the Concrete Engineering Unit. DEFINITIONS

3126 3137

Prior to concrete production: Test the Agency’s pre-production sample at the Contractor’s discretion During concrete production: Test the -#200 (-75µm) on the Quality companion sample the day it was sampled. All other testing is at the Contractor’s discretion

Prior to concrete production for the primary concrete plant: Obtain pre-production samples for quality testing at least 16 hours prior to concrete production. Samples may be taken from the stockpile and the -#200 (-75µm) test may be performed at the lab instead of at the plant at the discretion of the Engineer. If the Entire Project is < 3,500 cu. yd. (2,900 m3), pre-production sampling is not required. During concrete production: 1 randomly selected test each fraction every 20,000 yd3 (m3) of production. Split the Quality sample 4 ways:

1) Provide 2 quarters of the sample to the Producer/Contractor. 2) Test the -#200 (-75µm) on the quality sample at the plant the day it was

sampled. 3) Submit the remaining sample to the lab for quality testing including

testing on the -#200 (-75µm) sieve.

Identify quality samples with a “Q” and record the QC and QA -#200 (-75µm) test results on the Sample ID Card. Identify the Quality Companion samples with a “Q”. See additional requirements for first sand quality sample under ASR Testing.

Application Checklist (check to determine if ready to apply)

1. Indicate if a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared and the appropriate sections (a. and b. of this question) have been addressed by answering “Yes” or “No.” A SWPPP is a plan for Stormwater discharge that includes erosion prevention measures and sediment controls that, when implemented, will decrease soil erosion on a parcel of land and decrease pollution in receiving waters. This plan must be developed prior to submitting a permit application. A sample plan and development tools are available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans for Construction Activities website at http://cfpub1.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swppp.cfm and from the MPCA “Stormwater Compliance Tool Kit for Small Construction Operators”.

For section “b” indicate if an Environmental Review has been completed if required, by answering “Yes” or “No” or “N/A” (not applicable). Environmental review looks at how a proposed project could potentially affect the environment and looks at ways to avoid or minimize impacts before the project is permitted and built. Examples of categories that may need an environmental review include residential development; industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities; and also highway projects. For certain projects, environmental review is mandatory. For more details see the Guide to Minnesota Environmental Review Rules, Chapter 6 found on the Department of Administration website at http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/.

2. Discharges to Special or Impaired Waters

a. Special waters have qualities that warrant extra protection. There are several categories of special waters and the requirements are different for each. A list of these special water categories can be found in Appendix A of the permit. The additional requirements apply only to those portions of a project that drain to a discharge point on the project that is within one mile of and flows to the special water. Refer to Appendix A of the permit for the list of special waters and what additional requirements apply to each. The information is also available using the Special and Impaired Waters Search Tool found on the MPCA Stormwater Program for Construction Activity webpage at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/wfhya5b.

Impaired waters are bodies of water that do not meet the water quality standards set up for their designated use as determined by the State. Projects discharging to impaired waters also have additional requirements. The additional requirements apply only to those portions of a project that drain to a discharge point on the project that is within 1 mile of and flows to the impaired water. The specific requirements can be found in Appendix A of the permit. Impaired waters for the purpose of this permit are limited to those identified as impaired pursuant to section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act where the pollutant(s) or stressor(s) are phosphorus (nutrient eutrophication biological indicators), turbidity, dissolved oxygen, or biotic impairment (fish bioassessment, aquatic plant bioassessment and aquatic macroinvertebtrate bioassessment). Use the interactive Special and Impaired Waters Search Tool (found on the MPCA Stormwater Program for Construction Activity webpage at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/wfhya5b) to determine if your project is required to follow the additional requirements. On the application, indicate if the SWPPP for the project incorporates the additional requirements, if applicable. Consult the MPCA’s Minnesota Impaired Waters and TMDLs webpage at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/xggx950 for additional information including a list of impaired waters.

3. Additional Application Review

a. If the project disturbs 50 acres or more and has a discharge point (including sheet flow) that is within one mile of and flows to an impaired or special water listed in Appendix A, the application and SWPPP need to be submitted to the MPCA a minimum of 30 days prior to the start of construction.

b. Include the SWPPP with the application or submit it to the MPCA electronically. SWPPPs may be submitted electronically to: [email protected] or you may request other electronic means of submittal.

4. The application requires a $400 application fee. Indicate that the application fee has been enclosed by answering “Yes.” Please make checks payable to: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and submit the check with the completed application to: Fiscal Services- 6th Floor, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, 520 Lafayette Road North, St. Paul, MN 55155-4194. Applications received without the required fee will be returned to the sender.

Construction Activity Information

5. List the construction project’s name. Be specific. Examples: “Driveway at 123 Main St, Hudson,” “Highway 169 bridge replacement (#79605) at the Rum River.”

6. Project Location

a. Provide an address (if available) and brief description of the construction activity’s location (for example, “North West Corner of the Intersection of 45th Street and Irving Avenue, Minneapolis, MN”). Use any type of description that accurately portrays the project location.

b-e. Provide the names of all cities, counties, zip codes, and townships the construction activity takes place in (for example, a roadway may cross county, city, or township boundaries).

f. Give the latitude and longitude of the centroid of the site. If the centroid of the site is not within the site, give the latitude and longitude of a point within the site that is closest to the centroid of the site. Give these values in degrees and decimal of degrees (preferred) alternatively in degrees, minutes and seconds. To obtain the decimals of a degree, divide the minutes by 60 and the seconds by 360 and add this to the degrees.

g. State how the information was gathered, if by GPS, by using a USGS topographic map (give the scale), or an online tool, such as the Toxics Release Inventory Facility Siting Tool found on the EPA’s website at http://www2.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventory-tri-program. To use this tool, type either the zip code or the city/township and the state. Zoom in to obtain the latitude and longitude.

7. List, in acres, the amount of area that will be disturbed for this project. This is not the size of the property; do not include areas of the project that will not be disturbed.

8. Indicate the type of construction activity by checking the appropriate box. Check “Residential and Road Construction” if the road is part of a common plan of development and is developed in association with residential development. If you check “Other”, describe the project.

9. Indicate to the nearest quarter acre, the existing and resulting areas of impervious surfaces. Impervious surface means a constructed hard surface that either prevents or retards the entry of water into the soil and causes water to run off the surface in greater quantities and at an increased rate of flow than prior to development. Examples include rooftops, sidewalks, patios, driveways, parking lots, storage areas, and concrete, asphalt, or gravel roads. (a.) “Existing” area means


http://pca-gis02.pca.state.mn.us/CSW/index.html


http://www.pca.state.mn.us/wfhya5b



http://www.pca.state.mn.us/xggx950


http://www2.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventory-tri-program


the area of impervious surface that is present prior to the start of this construction project. (b.) “Post construction” means the entire area of impervious surface after construction is completed. Subtract (a.) from (b.) to determine the area of new impervious surface.

10. For projects creating one or more acres of cumulative new impervious surfaces, check the appropriate box to indicate which type(s) of permanent stormwater management practices will be used. The “Other” box is limited to those situations (such as proximity to bedrock) that are described in Part III.D of the permit. See the permit for a further description. If the “Other’ box is checked, describe which situation outlined in Part III. D fits the project and what other permanent treatment (such as grassed swales, smaller ponds and/or grit chambers) will be used on the project.

11. Briefly describe which water body(s) will receive stormwater runoff from the construction site or from the discharge from permanent Stormwater management systems by completing the table. To determine which water body(s) will receive stormwater runoff discharges, make a brief survey of the project’s surrounding area. Include the waters identified on a USGS 7.5-minute quad or equivalent map. See Appendix A Special Waters List of this permit to determine if a water body is a special water found on the MPCA Stormwater Program for Construction Activity website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/wfhya5b. Impaired waters for the purpose of this permit are those identified as impaired for the following pollutant(s) or stressor(s) phosphorus (nutrient eutrophication biological indicators), turbidity, dissolved oxygen, or biotic impairment (fish bioassessment, aquatic plant bioassessment and aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessment). The easiest way to find special or impaired waters in addition to all waterbodies is to use the interactive map tool, Special and Impaired Waters Search tool (found on the MPCA Stormwater Program for Construction Activity webpage at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/wfhya5b).

12. List the start and estimated completion dates of the construction project.

13. Select the title that best describes the person completing this application for this Permit.

Responsible Parties

14. Owner Information: Provide the information requested of the owner of the company, organization, or other entity for which this construction project is being done. The Owner means the person or party possessing the title of the land on which the construction activities will occur; or if the construction activity is for a lease, easement, or mineral rights license holder, the party or individual identified as the lease, easement or mineral rights license holder; or the contracting government agency responsible for the construction activity. The owner is the party responsible for the compliance with all terms and conditions of the permit. The alternate contact should be the owner’s representative in charge of the project that the MPCA can, if needed, contact regarding the SWPPP or the conditions of the construction site.

After completing this application, certify it with a signature and date from an individual authorized to sign the application. This application form must be signed by either a principal executive officer, vice president, representative agent responsible for overall operations, general partner, or a proprietor. If the activity is being conducted by a unit of government (state, county, municipality, or township), this application must be signed by a principal executive officer or ranking elected official (for example, city or county engineer, administrator, or manager; director of public works; mayor, etc.) For additional information, see Minnesota Rules 7001.0060.

15. Contractor (Operator) Information: Provide the information requested of the contractor. The Contractor means the party who signs the construction contract with the owner to construct the project described in the final plans and specifications. Where the construction project involves more than one contractor, the general contractor will be the party responsible for managing the project on behalf of the owner. In some cases the owner may be the general contractor. In these cases, the owner may contract an individual as the operator who would be the co-permittee. The operator (usually the general contractor) is jointly responsible with the owner for compliance with Part II.B., Part II.C., and Part IV of the permit.

After this application has been completed by the owner, the contractor must certify it with a signature and date from an individual authorized to sign the form. The application must be signed by either a principal executive officer, vice president, representative agent responsible for overall operations, general partner, or a proprietor. If the general contractor is a unit of government (state, county, municipality, or township), this application must be signed by a principal executive officer, ranking elected official, administrator, manager, coordinator, or engineer. (For additional information, see Minnesota Rules 7001.0060.) The alternate contact should be the contractor’s representative in charge of the project that the MPCA can, if needed, contact regarding the SWPPP or the conditions of the construction site.

PART I. PERMIT COVERAGE AND LIMITATIONS

I.A. PERMIT COVERAGE 1. This permit is required for construction activity that results in land disturbance of equal to or

greater than one acre or a common plan of development or sale that disturbs greater than one acre, and authorizes, subject to the terms and conditions of this permit, the discharge of stormwater associated with construction activity. Construction activity does not include a disturbance to the land of less than five (5) acres for the purpose of routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of the facility. Pavement rehabilitation that does not disturb the underlying soils (e.g., mill and overlay projects) is not considered construction activity.

2. This permit covers all areas of the State of Minnesota. 3. Coverage under this permit is not required when all stormwater from construction activity is

routed directly to and treated by a “treatment works”, as defined in Minn. Stat. § 115.01, subd. 21, that is operated under an individual NPDES/SDS permit with a Total Suspended Solids effluent limit for all treated runoff.

4. Previously Permitted Ongoing Projects: Permittee(s) of ongoing projects covered initially under

the previous MPCA‐issued NPDES/SDS Construction Stormwater General Permit (issuance date August 1, 2008) are granted coverage under this reissued permit.

a. The Permittee(s) of those ongoing projects shall amend the SWPPP for the project to meet

the requirements of this reissued permit no later than 18 months after the issuance date of this reissued permit if the termination‐of‐coverage requirements in Part II.C. will not be met within 18 months of the issuance date of this reissued permit and shall thereafter comply with this permit. However, additional permanent treatment required in this reissued permit is not required for previously permitted projects.

b. If the previously permitted ongoing project will meet the termination‐of‐coverage

requirements in Part II.C. within 18 months of the issuance date of this reissued permit, the Permittee(s) shall comply with the 2008 construction general permit until the project is complete and a Notice of Termination (NOT) consistent with Part II.C. of this reissued permit is submitted.

c. If a previously permitted ongoing project will not be able to meet the terms and conditions

of this reissued permit (other than the additional permanent treatment requirement) and will continue longer than 18 months after the issuance date of this permit, the Permittee(s) shall apply for an individual permit in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7001.

I.B. LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGE

This permit does not authorize discharges related to the following activities:

1. Discharges or releases that are not stormwater (except those non‐stormwater discharges


wq-strm2-68a

authorized under Part IV.D.). 2. The placement of fill into waters of the state requiring local, state or federal authorizations

(such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 permits, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Waters Work Permits or Local Governmental Unit Wetland Conservation Act replacement plans or determinations).

3. Discharges associated with industrial activity except for construction activity. Discharges

associated with industrial activity may need to obtain coverage under a separate NPDES/SDS permit once day‐to‐day operational activities commence even if construction is ongoing.

4. Discharges from non‐point source agricultural and silvicultural activities excluded from NPDES

permit requirements under 40 CFR pt. 122.3(e). 5. Discharges to the waters identified below unless the requirements of Appendix A are complied

with:

a. Discharges into outstanding resource value waters as listed in Minn. R. 7050.0180, subp. 3, 4, 5, 6, 6a and 6b.

b. Discharges into trout waters as listed in Minn. R. 6264.0050, subp. 2 and 4. c. Discharges into wetlands as defined in Minn. R. 7050.0186 subd.1a.B. d. Discharges from projects that have not completed applicable Environmental Review

requirements under state or federal laws. e. Discharges that adversely impact or contribute to adverse impacts on a state or federally

listed endangered or threatened species or adversely modify a designated critical habitat. f. Discharges that adversely affect properties listed or eligible for listing in the National

Register of Historic Places or affecting known or discovered archeological sites.

6. Discharges to waters identified as impaired pursuant to section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 303(d)) where the identified pollutant(s) or stressor(s) are phosphorus (nutrient eutrophication biological indicators), turbidity, dissolved oxygen, or biotic impairment (fish bioassessment, aquatic plant bioassessment and aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessment), and with or without a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for any of these identified pollutant(s) or stressor(s), unless the applicable requirements of Part III.A.8. are met.

PART II. SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION

II.A. PREREQUISITE FOR SUBMITTING A PERMIT APPLICATION

The owner must develop an accurate and complete SWPPP in accordance with Part III. (Stormwater Discharge Design Requirements) of this permit prior to submitting the application for coverage. The SWPPP is not required to be submitted to the MPCA (unless the project size is 50 acres or more and will discharge to certain waters as described in Part II.B.1.b.) but is to be retained by the owner in


wq-strm2-68a

accordance with Part III.E. (Record Retention). The owner’s failure to prepare an accurate and complete SWPPP prior to submitting the application is grounds for MPCA to revoke the permit. II.B. APPLICATION AND DURATION OF COVERAGE

1. Application Required.

a. The owner and operator shall submit a complete and accurate on‐line application form with

the appropriate fee to the MPCA for each project that disturbs one (1) or more acres of land or for a common plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb one (1) or more acres. If the applicant is not able to apply on‐line, contact the MPCA for technical assistance or a waiver.

b. For certain projects or common plans of development or sale disturbing 50 acres or more, the application must be submitted at least 30 days before the start of construction activity. This requirement pertains to projects that have a discharge point on the project that is within one mile (aerial radius measurement) of, and flows to, a special water listed in Appendix A, Part B. or waters listed as impaired under section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (see the MPCA’s website) where the identified pollutant(s) or stressor(s) are phosphorus (nutrient eutrophication biological indicators), turbidity, dissolved oxygen, or biotic impairment (fish bioassessment, aquatic plant bioassessment and aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessment). Applicants of projects listed in this part must submit a complete and accurate application form and SWPPP including all calculations for the Permanent Stormwater Management System (see Parts III.A.‐D.).

2. All persons meeting the definition of owner and operator are Permittees and must be listed on

the application. The owner is responsible for compliance with all terms and conditions of this permit. The operator is responsible for compliance with Parts II.B, II.C, III.B‐F, IV, V, and applicable construction activity requirements found in Appendix A, Part C. of this permit and is jointly responsible with the owner for compliance with those portions of the permit.

3. Permit Coverage Effective Date: The commencement of any construction activity (e.g., land disturbing activities) covered under Part I.A. of this permit is prohibited until permit coverage under this permit is effective.

a. For projects listed in Part II.B.1.a. permit coverage will become effective seven (7) calendar

days after the electronic submittal date or the postmarked date of a complete application form.

b. For projects listed in Part II.B.1.b. permit coverage will become effective 30 calendar days after the electronic submittal date, the postmarked date or MPCA date stamp (whichever is first) of the complete application. For incomplete applications (e.g., lack of fees or signature) or incomplete SWPPPs (e.g., missing calculations, Best Management Practice (BMP) specifications, estimated quantities of the BMPs, or timing of BMP installation narrative), the permit becomes effective 30 calendar days after all required information is submitted.

4. Coverage Notification: Permittee(s) will be notified of coverage in a manner as determined by

the Commissioner (e.g., e‐mail, online notification or letter).


wq-strm2-68a

5. Change of Coverage: For construction projects where the owner or operator changes, (e.g., an original developer sells portions of the property to various homebuilders or sells the entire site to a new owner) the current owner and the new owner or operator shall submit a complete permit modification on a form provided by the Commissioner. The form must be submitted prior to the new owner or operator commencing construction activity on site or in no case later than 30 days after taking ownership of the property. The owner shall provide a SWPPP to the new owner and operator that specifically addresses the remaining construction activity.

II.C. TERMINATION OF COVERAGE

1. Termination of coverage when construction is complete: All Permittee(s) must submit a Notice

of Termination (NOT) to the MPCA on a form provided by the Commissioner within 30 days after all activities required for Final Stabilization (see Part IV.G.) are complete. The Permittee(s)’ coverage under this permit terminates at midnight on the submission date of the NOT.

2. Termination of coverage when transfer of ownership occurs: All Permittee(s) must submit a NOT on a form provided by the Commissioner within 30 days after selling or otherwise legally transferring the entire site, including permit responsibility for roads (e.g., street sweeping) and stormwater infrastructure final clean out, or transferring portions of a site to another party. The Permittee(s)’ coverage under this permit terminates at midnight on the submission date of the NOT.

3. Permittee(s) may terminate permit coverage prior to completion of all construction activity if all of the following conditions are met. After the permit is terminated under this Part, if there is any subsequent development on the remaining portions of the site where construction activity was not complete, new permit coverage must be obtained if the subsequent development itself or as part of the remaining common plan of development or sale will result in land disturbing activities of one (1) or more acres in size.

a. Construction activity has ceased for at least 90 days.

b. At least 90 percent (by area) of all originally proposed construction activity has been completed and permanent cover established on those areas. c. On areas where construction activity is not complete, permanent cover has been

established.

d. The site is in compliance with Part IV.G.2. and Part IV.G.3. and where applicable, Part IV.G.4. or Part IV.G.5.

4. Permittee(s) may terminate coverage upon approval by the MPCA if information is submitted to

the MPCA documenting that termination is appropriate because the project is cancelled.

PART III. STORMWATER DISCHARGE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

III.A. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN CONTENT

The owner must develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP shall be


wq-strm2-68a

completed prior to submitting any permit application and prior to conducting any construction activity by any required Permittee(s). For stormwater discharges from construction activity where the owner or operator changes, the new owner or operator can implement the original SWPPP created for the project, modify the original SWPPP, or develop and implement their own SWPPP. Permittee(s) shall ensure either directly or through coordination with other Permittee(s) that their SWPPP meets all terms and conditions of this permit and that their activities do not render another party’s erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs ineffective. The SWPPP must include the following:

1. A description of the construction activity: The description must be a combination of narrative,

plan sheets, and (if appropriate) standard detail sheets that address the foreseeable conditions, at any stage in the construction or post construction activities. The SWPPP must identify the potential for discharge of sediment and/or other potential pollutants from the site. The SWPPP must propose erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs to control the discharge of sediment and/or other potential pollutants from the site.

2. Knowledgeable person/chain of responsibility: As part of the SWPPP, the owner must identify a

person knowledgeable and experienced in the application of erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs who will oversee the implementation of the SWPPP, and the installation, inspection and maintenance of the erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs (see Part III.F.1.) before and during construction. The owner must identify in the SWPPP who will have the responsibility for long‐term operation and maintenance of the Permanent Stormwater Management System (see Part III.D.). The owner shall include in the SWPPP a chain of responsibility with all operators on the site, or if not known, the title or position of the responsible party, to ensure that the SWPPP will be implemented and stay in effect until the construction project is complete, the entire site has undergone Final Stabilization, and an NOT has been submitted to the MPCA. Once the identity of the responsible party is known, the SWPPP must be amended to include this information.

3. Training documentation: The Permittee(s) shall ensure the individuals identified in Part III.F.

have been trained in accordance with this Permit’s training requirements. The Permittee(s) shall ensure the training is recorded in or with the SWPPP before the start of construction or as soon as the personnel for the project have been determined. Documentation shall include:

a. Names of the personnel associated with this project that are required to be trained per Part

III.F.1. of this permit.

b. Dates of training and name of instructor(s) and entity providing training.

c. Content of training course or workshop including the number of hours of training.

4. Designs, calculations, and narrative: The SWPPP must incorporate the requirements of Part III (Stormwater Discharge Design Requirements) including calculations, Part IV (Construction Activity Requirements) and Appendix A for the project. A narrative describing the timing for installation of all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs and permanent stormwater management systems required in Part III, Part IV and Appendix A must also be included in the SWPPP.

5. SWPPP components: The SWPPP requirements must be incorporated into the project's final


wq-strm2-68a

plans and specifications and/or project documentation, as appropriate, and must include:

a. Location and type of all temporary and permanent erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs along with procedures to be used to establish additional temporary BMPs as necessary for the site conditions during construction. Standard details and/or specifications for the BMPs used on the project must be included in the final plans and specifications for the project.

b. Quantities: Estimated preliminary quantities tabulation anticipated at the start of the project

for the life of the project must be included for all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs in the SWPPP (e.g., linear feet of silt fence or ft2 of erosion control blanket).

c. Impervious surface: The number of acres of impervious surface for both pre‐ and post‐

construction must be specified. d. Site map: A site map with existing and final grades, including dividing lines and direction of

flow for all pre‐and post‐construction stormwater runoff drainage areas located within the project limits must be included. The site map must indicate the areas of steep slopes. The site map must also include impervious surfaces, soil types and locations of potential pollutant‐generating activities as identified in Part IV.F.

e. Locations of areas not to be disturbed: Buffer zones, as required for temporary BMPs during

construction in Part IV.C.9., or if required as permanent BMPs in Appendix A, Part C.3., must be described and identified on plan sheets or project maps in the SWPPP.

f. Construction phasing: Location of areas where construction will be phased to minimize

duration of exposed soil areas must be described. g. Maps of surface waters and wetlands: The SWPPP must include a map of all surface waters,

existing wetlands, and stormwater ponds or basins which can be identified on maps such as United States Geological Survey 7.5 minute quadrangle maps, the National Wetland Inventory map or equivalent maps within one mile (aerial radius measurement) from the project boundaries that will receive stormwater from the construction site, during or after construction. Where surface waters receiving stormwater associated with construction activity will not fit on the plan sheet, they must be identified with an arrow, indicating both direction and distance to the surface water. The SWPPP must identify if the surface water is a special or impaired water. The site map must also show construction activity areas that are adjacent to and drain to Public Waters for which the Department of Natural Resources has promulgated “work in water restrictions” during specified fish spawning time frames.

h. Final stabilization: Methods to be used for Final Stabilization of all exposed soil areas must

be described. i. BMP design factors: The SWPPP must account for the following factors in designing the

temporary erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs:

i. The expected amount, frequency, intensity, and duration of precipitation. ii. The nature of stormwater runoff and run‐on at the site, including factors such as


wq-strm2-68a

expected flow from impervious surfaces, slopes, and site drainage features. iii. If any stormwater flow will be channelized at the site, the Permitte(s) must design

BMPs to control both peak flowrates and total stormwater volume to minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and streambank erosion.

iv. The range of soil particle sizes expected to be present on the site.

j. Soil Management: Methods used to minimize soil compaction and preserve topsoil must be

described. Minimizing soil compaction is not required where the function of a specific area of the site dictates that it be compacted.

k. Maintenance plan: For projects that include permanent stormwater treatment systems, the

SWPPP must include a maintenance plan identifying who will be performing future maintenance of the system.

l. Chemical treatments: Any specific chemicals and the chemical treatment systems that may be

used for enhancing the sedimentation process on the site, and how compliance will be achieved with the requirements in Part IV.C.10., must be described.

m. Documentation of infeasibility: If the Permittee(s) determine(s) that compliance with the

requirement for temporary sediment basins (Part III.C.) is infeasible on the project site; the Permittee(s) must document that determination and the substitute BMPs in the SWPPP. If Permittee(s) cannot obtain right‐of‐way for the permanent stormwater management system; the Permittee(s) must document the infeasibility of obtaining right‐of‐way (Part III.D.)

6. Stormwater pollution mitigation measures identified in environmental review or other required

review: The SWPPP must include any stormwater mitigation measures approved as part of a final environmental review document, endangered species review, archeological or other required local, state or federal review conducted for the project. For the purposes of this permit provision, mitigation measures means actions necessary to avoid, minimize, or rectify (e.g., repairing, rehabilitating, restoring), reducing, eliminating or compensating for impacts related to: (1) stormwater discharges associated with the project’s construction activity; and (2) erosion prevention, sediment control and the Permanent Stormwater Management System for the project.

7. Karst areas: The SWPPP must identify additional or different measures necessary (e.g.

impervious liner in pond bottom) to assure compliance with surface and groundwater standards in Minn. R. chs. 7050 and 7060 in karst areas and to ensure protection of drinking water supply management areas (see Minn. R. 4720.5100, subp. 13).

8. Impaired Waters and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs): The SWPPP must address the

following: a. For projects that have a discharge point on the project that is within one mile (aerial radius

measurement) of and which flows to an impaired water, the Permittee(s) must identify the impaired water(s) in the SWPPP, and whether or not there is a USEPA‐approved TMDL for the pollutant(s) or stressor(s) identified in Appendix A, Part B.10. Unless otherwise notified by the MPCA in writing, the Permittee(s)’ identification of impaired waters must be based


wq-strm2-68a

on the most recent USEPA approved section 303(d) Clean Water Act list of impaired waters and USEPA approved TMDLs at the time a complete permit application is submitted. The Permittee(s)’ identification must include those TMDLs, applicable to the project’s stormwater discharge, that were approved at any time prior to permit application submittal and are still in effect.

b. If the TMDL identifies specific implementation activities regarding construction stormwater that would apply to the site discharges, the Permittee(s) must include the BMPs identified in the TMDL and any other specific construction stormwater related implementation activities identified in the TMDL.

III.B. SWPPP AMENDMENTS

The Permittee(s) must amend the SWPPP as necessary to include additional requirements, such as additional or modified BMPs that are designed to correct problems identified or address situations whenever:

1. There is a change in design, construction, operation, maintenance, weather or seasonal

conditions that has a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or underground waters.

2. Inspections or investigations by site owner or operators, USEPA or MPCA officials indicate the

SWPPP is not effective in eliminating or significantly minimizing the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or underground waters or that the discharges are causing water quality standard exceedances (e.g., nuisance conditions as defined in Minn. R. 7050.0210, subp. 2).

3. The SWPPP is not achieving the general objectives of minimizing pollutants in stormwater

discharges associated with construction activity, or the SWPPP is not consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit.

4. At any time after permit coverage is effective, the MPCA may determine that the

project’s stormwater discharges may cause, have reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to non‐attainment of any applicable water quality standard, or that the SWPPP does not incorporate the applicable requirements in Part III.A.8., (Impaired Waters and TMDLs). If a water quality standard changes during the term of this permit, the MPCA will make a determination as to whether a modification of the SWPPP is necessary to address the new standard. If the MPCA makes such determination(s) or any of the determinations in Parts III.B.1.‐3., the MPCA will notify the Permittee(s) in writing. In response, the Permittee(s) must amend the SWPPP to address the identified concerns and submit information requested by the MPCA, which may include an individual permit application. If the MPCA’s written notification requires a response, failure to respond within the specified timeframe constitutes a permit violation.

III.C. TEMPORARY SEDIMENT BASINS

Where ten (10) or more acres of disturbed soil drain to a common location, the Permittee(s) must provide a temporary sediment basin to provide treatment to the runoff before it leaves the construction site or enters surface waters. A temporary sediment basin may be converted to a permanent basin after construction is complete. The temporary basin is no longer required when


wq-strm2-68a

permanent cover has reduced the acreage of disturbed soil to less than ten (10) acres draining to a common location. The Permittee(s) is/are encouraged, but not required, to install temporary sediment basins where appropriate in areas with steep slopes or highly erodible soils even if less than ten (10) acres drains to one area. The basins must be designed and constructed according to the following requirements:

1. The basins must provide live storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a two (2)‐year, 24‐

hour storm from each acre drained to the basin, except that in no case shall the basin provide less than 1,800 cubic feet of live storage from each acre drained to the basin.

2. Where the calculation in Part III.C.1. has not been performed, a temporary sediment basin

providing 3,600 cubic feet of live storage per acre drained to the basin shall be provided for the entire drainage area of the temporary basin.

3. Temporary basin outlets must be designed to prevent short‐circuiting and the discharge of

floating debris. The basin must be designed with the ability to allow complete basin drawdown for maintenance activities, and must include a stabilized emergency overflow to prevent failure of pond integrity. The outlet structure must be designed to withdraw water from the surface in order to minimize the discharge of pollutants, except that the use of a surface withdrawal mechanism for discharge of the basin may be temporarily suspended during frozen conditions. Energy dissipation must be provided for the basin outlet (see Part IV.B.5.).

4. Sediment Basins must be situated outside of surface waters and any buffer zone required under

Appendix A.C.3, and must be designed to avoid draining water from wetlands unless the impact to the wetland is in compliance with the requirements of Appendix A, Part D.

5. The temporary basins must be constructed and made operational prior to 10 or more acres of

disturbed soil draining to a common location.

6. Where a temporary sediment basin meeting the requirements of this part is infeasible, equivalent sediment controls such as smaller sediment basins, and/or sediment traps, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or any appropriate combination of measures are required for all down‐slope boundaries of the construction area and for side‐slope boundaries as dictated by individual site conditions. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is infeasible, the Permittee(s) must consider public safety and may consider factors such as site soils, slope, and available area on site. This determination of infeasibility must be documented in the SWPPP per Part III.A.5.m.

III.D. PERMANENT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Permittee(s) shall design the project so that all stormwater discharged from the project during and after construction activities does not cause a violation of state water quality standards, including nuisance conditions, erosion in receiving channels or on downslope properties, or a significant adverse impact to wetlands caused by inundation or decrease of flow. The Permittee(s) shall construct a permanent stormwater management system meeting the requirements of this Part, or if the project is located in a jurisdiction subject to a NPDES/SDS Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit and that permit has established permanent treatment requirements that include volume reduction, the Permittee(s) can comply with the


wq-strm2-68a

permanent treatment requirements established under the MS4 permit in lieu of the permanent treatment requirements of this permit. Where a project’s ultimate development replaces vegetation and/or other pervious surfaces with one (1) or more acres of cumulative impervious surface, the Permittee(s) must design the project so that the water quality volume of one (1) inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces created by the project is retained on site (i.e. infiltration or other volume reduction practices) and not discharged to a surface water. For purposes of this part, surface waters does not include man‐made drainage systems that convey stormwater to a compliant permanent stormwater management system. For those projects where infiltration is prohibited (see Part III.D.1.j.), the Permittee(s) shall consider other methods of volume reduction and the water quality volume (or remainder of the water quality volume if some volume reduction is achieved) must be treated by a wet sedimentation basin, filtration system, regional ponding or equivalent methods prior to the discharge of stormwater to surface waters. Where the proximity to bedrock precludes the installation of any of the permanent stormwater management practices outlined in Part III.D., other treatment, such as grassed swales, filtration systems, smaller ponds, or grit chambers, is required prior to the discharge of stormwater to surface waters. For work on linear projects with lack of right‐of‐way where the Permittee(s) cannot obtain an easement or other permission for property needed to install treatment systems capable of treating the entire water quality volume on site, the Permittee(s) must maximize the water quality volume that can be treated prior to discharge to surface waters. Treatment can be provided through other methods or combination of methods such as grassed swales, filtration systems, smaller ponds, or grit chambers, prior to discharge to surface waters. A reasonable attempt must be made to obtain right‐of‐way during the project planning process. Documentation of these attempts must be in the SWPPP per Part III.A.5.m. in the section addressing infeasibility. When constructing any of the permanent stormwater management systems in this part, the Permittee(s) must incorporate the following design parameters:

1. Infiltration/Filtration

a. Infiltration/Filtration options include but are not limited to: infiltration basins, infiltration trenches, rainwater gardens, sand filters, organic filters, bioretention areas, natural or enhanced swales, dry storage ponds with underdrain discharge, off‐line retention areas, and natural depressions. Infiltration must be used only as appropriate to the site and land uses. The method selected by the Permittee(s) must remove settleable solids, floating materials, and oils and grease from the runoff to the maximum extent practicable before runoff enters the infiltration/filtration system. Filtration systems must be designed to remove at least 80 percent of total suspended solids. When designing the system the Permittee(s) must evaluate the impact of constructing an infiltration practice on existing hydrologic features (e.g., existing wetlands) and the system must be designed to maintain pre‐existing conditions (e.g., do not breach a perched water table that is supporting a wetland). For a discussion of potential stormwater hotspots, groundwater warnings, design measures, maintenance considerations or other retention, detention, and treatment devices, see the


wq-strm2-68a

Minnesota Stormwater Manual found on the MPCA’s website. b. Infiltration systems must not be excavated to final grade until the contributing drainage area

has been constructed and fully stabilized unless rigorous erosion prevention and sediment controls are provided (Part III.D.1.c.).

c. When an infiltration system is excavated to final grade (or within three (3) feet of final

grade), the Permittee(s) must employ rigorous erosion prevention and sediment controls (e.g., diversion berms) to keep sediment and runoff completely away from the infiltration area. The area must be staked off and marked so that heavy construction vehicles or equipment will not compact the soil in the proposed infiltration area.

d. To prevent clogging of the infiltration or filtration system, the Permittee(s) must use a

pretreatment device such as a vegetated filter strip, small sedimentation basin, or water quality inlet (e.g., grit chamber) to settle particulates before the stormwater discharges into the infiltration or filtration system.

e. The Permittee(s) must design infiltration or filtration systems that provide a water quality

volume (calculated as an instantaneous volume) of one (1) inch of runoff (or one (1) inch minus the volume of stormwater treated by another system on the site) from the new impervious surfaces created by the project.

f. The Permittee(s) must design the infiltration/filtration system to discharge the water quality

volume routed to the system through the soil surface or filter media within 48 hours or less. Additional flows that cannot be infiltrated or filtered within 48 hours must be routed to bypass the system through a stabilized discharge point. The Permittee(s) must design the infiltration system to provide a means to visually verify that the system is discharging through the soil surface or filter media within 48 hours or less.

g. The Permittee(s) shall employ appropriate on‐site testing consistent with the

recommendations found in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual to verify soil type and to ensure a minimum of three (3) feet of separation from the seasonally saturated soils (or from bedrock) and the bottom of the proposed infiltration/filtration system.

h. The Permittee(s) must ensure filtration systems with less than three (3) feet of separation

from seasonally saturated soils or from bedrock are constructed with an impermeable liner. i. The Permittee(s) must design adequate maintenance access (typically eight (8) feet wide). j. Infiltration is prohibited when the infiltration system will be constructed in:

i. Areas that receive discharges from vehicle fueling and maintenance.

ii. Areas with less than three (3) feet of separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of the seasonally saturated soils or the top of bedrock.


wq-strm2-68a

iii. Areas that receive discharges from industrial facilities which are not authorized to infiltrate industrial stormwater under an NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit issued by the MPCA.

iv. Areas where high levels of contaminants in soil or groundwater will be mobilized by the

infiltrating stormwater.

v. Areas of predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils unless allowed by a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit.

vi. Areas within 1,000 feet up‐gradient, or 100 feet down‐gradient of active karst features

unless allowed by a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit.

vii. Areas within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) as defined in Minn. R. 4720.5100, subp. 13., unless allowed by a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit.

viii. Areas where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils are

amended to slow the infiltration rate below 8.3 inches per hour or as allowed by a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit.

2. Wet Sedimentation Basin

a. The Permitte(s) must design the basin to have a permanent volume of 1,800 cubic feet of

storage below the outlet pipe for each acre that drains to the basin. The basin’s permanent volume must reach a minimum depth of at least three (3) feet and must have no depth greater than 10 feet. The basin must be configured such that scour or resuspension of solids is minimized.

b. The Permittee(s) must design basins to provide live storage for a water quality volume

(calculated as an instantaneous volume) of one (1) inch of runoff (or one (1) inch minus the volume of stormwater treated by another system on the site) from the new impervious surfaces created by the project.

c. The Permittee(s) must design basin outlets such that the water quality volume is discharged

at no more than 5.66 cubic feet per second (cfs) per acre of surface area of the pond. d. The Permittee(s) must design basin outlets to prevent short‐circuiting and the discharge of

floating debris. Basin outlets must have energy dissipation. e. The Permittee(s) must design the basin to include a stabilized emergency overflow to

accommodate storm events in excess of the basin’s hydraulic design.

f. The Permittee(s) must design adequate maintenance access (typically eight (8) feet wide). g. The Permittee(s) must design sediment Basins to be situated outside of surface waters and

any buffer zone required under Appendix A, Part C.3. and they must be designed to avoid draining water from wetlands unless the impact to the wetland is in compliance with the requirements of Appendix A, Part D.


wq-strm2-68a

3. Regional Ponds

When the entire water quality volume cannot be retained onsite, the Permittee(s) can use or create regional ponds provided that they are constructed ponds, not a natural wetland or water body, (wetlands used as regional ponds must be mitigated for, see Appendix A, Part D) and designed in accordance with this permit’s design requirements (Part III.D.2.) for all water from impervious surfaces that reach the pond. Permittee(s) shall not construct regional ponds in wetlands, regardless of their condition, quality or designation by local plans, unless the mitigative sequence in Appendix A, Part D. of this permit has been completed. There must be no significant degradation of the waterways between the project and the regional pond. The owner must obtain written authorization from the applicable local governmental unit (LGU) or private entity that owns and maintains the regional pond. The LGU’s or private entity’s written authorization must identify that the regional pond will discharge the water quality volume (one (1) inch of runoff from the impervious watershed area) at no more than 5.66 cfs per acre of surface area of the pond. The owner must include the LGU’s or private entities’ written authorization in the SWPPP. The LGU’s or private entity’s written authorization must be obtained before the owner finalizes the SWPPP and before any application for this permit is made to the MPCA.

III.E RECORD RETENTION

The SWPPP (original or copies) including, all changes to it, and inspections and maintenance records must be kept at the site during construction by the Permittee(s) who has/have operational control of that portion of the site. The SWPPP can be kept in either the field office or in an on‐site vehicle during normal working hours. All owner(s) must keep the following records on file for three (3) years after submittal of the NOT as outlined in Part II.C. This does not include any records after submittal of the NOT. 1. The final SWPPP 2. Any other stormwater related permits required for the project 3. Records of all inspection and maintenance conducted during construction (Part IV.E. Inspections

and Maintenance) 4. All permanent operation and maintenance agreements that have been implemented, including

all right‐of‐way, contracts, covenants and other binding requirements regarding perpetual maintenance and

5. All required calculations for design of the temporary and permanent Stormwater Management

Systems.

III.F. TRAINING REQUIREMENTS The Permittee(s) shall ensure the following individuals identified in this part have been trained in accordance with this Permit’s training requirements.


wq-strm2-68a

1. Who must be trained:

a. Individual(s) preparing the SWPPP for the project

b. Individual(s) overseeing implementation of, revising, and amending the SWPPP and individual(s) performing inspections as required in Part IV.E. One of these individual(s) must be available for an onsite inspection within 72 hours upon request by the MPCA.

c. Individual(s) performing or supervising the installation, maintenance and repair of BMPs. At least one individual on a project must be trained in these job duties.

2. Training content: The content and extent of training must be commensurate with the individual’s job duties and responsibilities with regard to activities covered under this permit for the project. At least one individual present on the permitted project site (or available to the project site in 72 hours) must be trained in the job duties described in Part III.F.1.b. and Part III.F.1.c.

3. The Permittee(s) shall ensure that the individuals are trained by local, state, federal agencies, professional organizations, or other entities with expertise in erosion prevention, sediment control, permanent stormwater management and the Minnesota NPDES/SDS Construction Stormwater Permit. An update refresher‐training must be attended every three (3) years starting three (3) years from the issuance date of this permit.

PART IV. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS

IV.A. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN The Permittee(s) must implement the SWPPP and the requirements of this part. The BMPs

identified in the SWPPP and in this permit must be selected, installed, and maintained in an appropriate and functional manner that is in accordance with relevant manufacturer specifications and accepted engineering practices.

IV.B. EROSION PREVENTION PRACTICES

1. The Permittee(s) must plan for and implement appropriate BMPs such as construction phasing, vegetative buffer strips, horizontal slope grading, inspection and maintenance of Part IV.E. and other construction practices that minimize erosion as necessary to comply with this permit and protect waters of the state. The location of areas not to be disturbed must be delineated (e.g., with flags, stakes, signs, silt fence etc.) on the project site before work begins. The Permittee(s) must minimize the need for disturbance of portions of the project that have steep slopes. For those sloped areas which must be disturbed, the Permittee(s) must use techniques such as phasing and stabilization practices designed for steep slopes (e.g., slope draining and terracing).

2. The Permittee(s) must stabilize all exposed soil areas (including stockpiles). Stabilization must

be initiated immediately to limit soil erosion whenever any construction activity has permanently or temporarily ceased on any portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days. Stabilization must be completed no later than 14 calendar days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased. For Public Waters that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has promulgated “work


wq-strm2-68a

in water restrictions” during specified fish spawning time frames, all exposed soil areas that are within 200 feet of the water’s edge, and drain to these waters must complete the stabilization activities within 24 hours during the restriction period. Temporary stockpiles without significant silt, clay or organic components (e.g., clean aggregate stockpiles, demolition concrete stockpiles, sand stockpiles) and the constructed base components of roads, parking lots and similar surfaces are exempt from this requirement but must be in compliance with Part IV.C.5.

3. If using stormwater conveyance channels ,the Permittee(s) must design the channels to route

water around unstabilized areas on the site and to reduce erosion, unless infeasible. The Permittee(s) must use erosion controls and velocity dissipation devices such as check dams, sediment traps, riprap, or grouted riprap at outlets within and along the length of any constructed stormwater conveyance channel, and at any outlet, to provide a non‐erosive flow velocity, to minimize erosion of channels and their embankments, outlets, adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream waters during discharge conditions.

4. The Permittee(s) must stabilize the normal wetted perimeter of any temporary or permanent drainage ditch or swale that drains water from any portion of the construction site, or diverts water around the site, within 200 lineal feet from the property edge, or from the point of discharge into any surface water. Stabilization of the last 200 lineal feet must be completed within 24 hours after connecting to a surface water or property edge.

The Permittee(s) shall complete stabilization of the remaining portions of any temporary or permanent ditches or swales within 14 calendar days after connecting to a surface water or property edge and construction in that portion of the ditch has temporarily or permanently ceased.

Temporary or permanent ditches or swales that are being used as a sediment containment system during construction (with properly designed rock‐ditch checks, bio rolls, silt dikes, etc.) do not need to be stabilized during the temporary period of its use as a sediment containment system. These areas must be stabilized within 24 hours after no longer being used as a sediment containment system.

Applying mulch, hydromulch, tackifier, polyacrylamide or similar erosion prevention practices is not acceptable stabilization in any part of a temporary or permanent drainage ditch or swale.

5. Pipe outlets must be provided with temporary or permanent energy dissipation within 24 hours after connection to a surface water. 6. Unless infeasible due to lack of pervious or vegetated areas, the Permittee(s) must direct

discharges from BMPs to vegetated areas of the site (including any natural buffers) in order to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater infiltration. The Permittee(s) must use velocity dissipation devices if necessary to prevent erosion when directing stormwater to vegetated areas.

IV.C. SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES

1. The Permittee(s) must employ Sediment control practices as necessary to minimize sediment

from entering surface waters, including curb and gutter systems and storm sewer inlets.


wq-strm2-68a

a. Temporary or permanent drainage ditches and sediment basins that are designed as part of a sediment containment system (e.g., ditches with rock‐check dams) require sediment control practices only as appropriate for site conditions.

b. If the down gradient sediment controls are overloaded (based on frequent failure or

excessive maintenance requirement), the Permittee(s) must install additional upgradient sediment control practices or redundant BMPs to eliminate the overloading, and the SWPPP must be amended to identify these additional practices as required in Part III.B 1.‐3.

2. Sediment control practices must be established on all down gradient perimeters and be located

upgradient of any buffer zones. The perimeter sediment control practice must be in place before any upgradient land‐disturbing activities begin. These practices shall remain in place until Final Stabilization has been established in accordance with Part IV.G. A floating silt curtain placed in the water is not a sediment control BMP to satisfy perimeter control requirements in this part except when working on a shoreline and below the waterline. In those cases, a floating silt curtain can be used as a perimeter control practice if the floating silt curtain is installed as close to shore as possible. Immediately after the short term construction activity (e.g. installation of rip rap along the shoreline) in that area is complete, an upland perimeter control practice must be installed if exposed soils still drain to the surface water..

3. The Permittee(s) shall re‐install all sediment control practices that have been adjusted or

removed to accommodate short‐term activities such as clearing or grubbing, or passage of vehicles, immediately after the short‐term activity has been completed. The Permittee(s) shall complete any short‐term activity that requires removal of sediment control practices as quickly as possible. The Permittee(s) must re‐install sediment control practices before the next precipitation event even if the short‐term activity is not complete.

4. All storm drain inlets must be protected by appropriate BMPs during construction until all

sources with potential for discharging to the inlet have been stabilized. Inlet protection may be removed for a particular inlet if a specific safety concern (street flooding/freezing) has been identified by the Permittee(s) or the jurisdictional authority (e.g., city/county/township/MnDOT engineer).The Permittee(s) must document the need for removal in the SWPPP.

5. Temporary soil stockpiles must have silt fence or other effective sediment controls, and cannot

be placed in any natural buffers or surface waters, including stormwater conveyances such as curb and gutter systems, or conduits and ditches unless there is a bypass in place for the stormwater.

6. Where vehicle traffic leaves any part of the site (or onto paved roads within the site):

a. The Permittee(s) must install a vehicle tracking BMP to minimize the track out of sediment from the construction site. Examples of vehicle tracking BMPs include (but are not limited to) rock pads, mud mats, slash mulch, concrete or steel wash racks, or equivalent systems.

b. The Permittee(s) must use street sweeping if such vehicle tracking BMPs are not adequate to prevent sediment from being tracked onto the street (see Part IV.E.5.d.).

7. The Permittee(s) must install temporary sedimentation basins as required in Part III.C. of this

permit.


wq-strm2-68a

8. The Permittee(s) must minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil.

Minimizing soil compaction is not required where the function of a specific area of the site dictates that it be compacted.

9. The Permittee(s) must preserve a 50 foot natural buffer or (if a buffer is infeasible on the site)

provide redundant sediment controls when a surface water is located within 50 feet of the project’s earth disturbances and stormwater flows to the surface water. Natural buffers are not required adjacent to road ditches, judicial ditches, county ditches, stormwater conveyance channels, storm drain inlets, and sediment basins. The Permittee(s) is/are not required to enhance the quality of the vegetation that already exists in the buffer or provide vegetation if none exist. However, Permittee(s) can improve the natural buffer with vegetation.

10. If the Permittee(s) intend to use polymers, flocculants, or other sedimentation treatment chemicals on the project site, the Permittee(s) must comply with the following minimum requirements:

a. The Permittee(s) must use conventional erosion and sediment controls prior to chemical

addition to ensure effective treatment. Chemicals may only be applied where treated stormwater is directed to a sediment control system which allows for filtration or settlement of the floc prior to discharge.

b. Chemicals must be selected that are appropriately suited to the types of soils likely to be exposed during construction, and to the expected turbidity, pH, and flow rate of stormwater flowing into the chemical treatment system or area.

c. Chemicals must be used in accordance with accepted engineering practices, and with dosing specifications and sediment removal design specifications provided by the manufacturer or provider/supplier of the applicable chemicals.

IV.D. DEWATERING AND BASIN DRAINING

1. The Permittee(s) must discharge turbid or sediment‐laden waters related to dewatering or basin

draining (e.g., pumped discharges, trench/ditch cuts for drainage) to a temporary or permanent sedimentation basin on the project site unless infeasible. The Permittee(s) may discharge from the temporary or permanent sedimentation basins to surface waters if the basin water has been visually checked to ensure adequate treatment has been obtained in the basin and that nuisance conditions (see Minn. R. 7050.0210, subp. 2) will not result from the discharge. If the water cannot be discharged to a sedimentation basin prior to entering the surface water, it must be treated with the appropriate BMPs, such that the discharge does not adversely affect the receiving water or downstream properties. If the Permittee(s) must discharge water that contains oil or grease, the Permittee(s) must use an oil‐water separator or suitable filtration device (e.g. cartridge filters, absorbents pads) prior to discharging the water. The Permittee(s) must ensure that discharge points are adequately protected from erosion and scour. The discharge must be dispersed over natural rock riprap, sand bags, plastic sheeting, or other accepted energy dissipation measures.


wq-strm2-68a

2. All water from dewatering or basin‐draining activities must be discharged in a manner that does not cause nuisance conditions, erosion in receiving channels or on downslope properties, or inundation in wetlands causing significant adverse impact to the wetland.

3. If the Permittee(s) is/are using filters with backwash water, the Permittee(s) must haul the

backwash water away for disposal, return the backwash water to the beginning of the treatment process, or incorporate the backwash water into the site in a manner that does not cause erosion. The Permittee(s) may discharge backwash water to the sanitary sewer if permission is granted by the sanitary sewer authority. The Permittee(s) must replace and clean the filter media used in dewatering devices when required to retain adequate function.

IV.E. INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

1. The Permittee(s) must ensure that a trained person (as identified in Part III.A.3.a.) will routinely

inspect the entire construction site at least once every seven (7) days during active construction and within 24 hours after a rainfall event greater than 0.5 inches in 24 hours. Following an inspection that occurs within 24 hours after a rainfall event, the next inspection must be conducted within seven (7) days after the rainfall event.

2. All inspections and maintenance conducted during construction must be recorded within 24

hours in writing and these records must be retained with the SWPPP in accordance with Part III.E. Records of each inspection and maintenance activity shall include:

a. Date and time of inspections

b. Name of person(s) conducting inspections

c. Findings of inspections, including the specific location where corrective actions are needed

d. Corrective actions taken (including dates, times, and party completing maintenance

activities)

e. Date and amount of all rainfall events greater than 1/2 inch (0.5 inches) in 24 hours. Rainfall amounts must be obtained by a properly maintained rain gauge installed onsite, a weather station that is within 1 mile of your location or a weather reporting system that provides site specific rainfall data from radar summaries.

f. If any discharge is observed to be occurring during the inspection, a record of all points of

the property from which there is a discharge must be made, and the discharge should be described (i.e., color, odor, floating, settled, or suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of pollutants) and photographed.

g. Any amendments to the SWPPP proposed as a result of the inspection must be documented

as required in Part III.B. within seven (7) calendar days.

3. Inspection frequency adjustment a. Where parts of the project site have permanent cover, but work remains on other parts of

the site, the Permittee(s) may reduce inspections of the areas with permanent cover to


wq-strm2-68a

once per month.

b. Where construction sites have permanent cover on all exposed soil areas and no construction activity is occurring anywhere on the site, the site must be inspected during non‐frozen ground conditions at least once per month for a period of twelve (12) months. Following the twelfth month of permanent cover and no construction activity, inspections may be terminated until construction activity is once again initiated unless the Permittee(s) is/are notified in writing by the MPCA that erosion issues have been detected at the site and inspections need to resume.

c. Where work has been suspended due to frozen ground conditions, the inspections may be

suspended. The required inspections and maintenance schedule must begin within 24 hours after runoff occurs at the site or 24 hours prior to resuming construction, whichever comes first.

4. The Permittee(s) is/are responsible for the inspection and maintenance of temporary and

permanent water quality management BMPs, as well as all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs, until another Permittee has obtained coverage under this Permit according to Part II.B.5. or the project has undergone Final Stabilization, and an NOT has been submitted to the MPCA.

5. The Permittee(s) must inspect all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs and Pollution Prevention Management Measures to ensure integrity and effectiveness during all routine and post‐rainfall event inspections. All nonfunctional BMPs must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented with functional BMPs by the end of the next business day after discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow access unless another time frame is specified below. The Permittee(s) must investigate and comply with the following inspection and maintenance requirements:

a. All perimeter control devices must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented when they

become nonfunctional or the sediment reaches one‐half (1/2) of the height of the device. These repairs must be made by the end of the next business day after discovery, or thereafter as soon as field conditions allow access.

b. Temporary and permanent sedimentation basins must be drained and the sediment removed when the depth of sediment collected in the basin reaches one‐half (1/2) the storage volume. Drainage and removal must be completed within 72 hours of discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow access (see Part IV.D.).

c. Surface waters, including drainage ditches and conveyance systems, must be inspected for

evidence of erosion and sediment deposition during each inspection. The Permittee(s) must remove all deltas and sediment deposited in surface waters, including drainage ways, catch basins, and other drainage systems, and restabilize the areas where sediment removal results in exposed soil. The removal and stabilization must take place within seven (7) days of discovery unless precluded by legal, regulatory, or physical access constraints. The Permittee(s) shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain access. If precluded, removal and stabilization must take place within seven (7) calendar days of obtaining access. The Permittee(s) is/are responsible for contacting all local, regional, state and federal authorities and receiving any applicable permits, prior to conducting any work in surface waters.


wq-strm2-68a

d. Construction site vehicle exit locations must be inspected for evidence of off‐site sediment

tracking onto paved surfaces. Tracked sediment must be removed from all paved surfaces both on and off site within 24 hours of discovery, or if applicable, within a shorter time to comply with Part IV.C.6.

e. Streets and other areas adjacent to the project must be inspected for evidence of off‐site

accumulations of sediment. If sediment is present, it must be removed in a manner and at a frequency sufficient to minimize off‐site impacts (e.g., fugitive sediment in streets could be washed into storm sewers by the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets).

6. All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that no sediment from ongoing construction

activity is reaching the infiltration area. All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that equipment is not being driven across the infiltration area.

IV.F. POLLUTION PREVENTION MANAGEMENT MEASURES

The Permittee(s) shall implement the following pollution prevention management measures on the

site:

1. Storage, Handling, and Disposal of Construction Products, Materials, and Wastes: The Permittee(s) shall comply with the following to minimize the exposure to stormwater of any of the products, materials, or wastes. Products or wastes which are either not a source of contamination to stormwater or are designed to be exposed to stormwater are not held to this requirement:

a. Building products that have the potential to leach pollutants must be under cover (e.g.,

plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent the discharge of pollutants or protected by a similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with stormwater.

b. Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers, treatment chemicals, and landscape materials must be under cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent the discharge of pollutants or protected by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with stormwater.

c. Hazardous materials, toxic waste, (including oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, paint solvents, petroleum‐based products, wood preservatives, additives, curing compounds, and acids) must be properly stored in sealed containers to prevent spills, leaks or other discharge. Restricted access storage areas must be provided to prevent vandalism. Storage and disposal of hazardous waste or hazardous materials must be in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7045 including secondary containment as applicable.

d. Solid waste must be stored, collected and disposed of properly in compliance with Minn. R.

ch. 7035. e. Portable toilets must be positioned so that they are secure and will not be tipped or knocked

over. Sanitary waste must be disposed of properly in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7041.


wq-strm2-68a

2. Fueling and Maintenance of Equipment or Vehicles; Spill Prevention and Response: The Permittee(s) shall take reasonable steps to prevent the discharge of spilled or leaked chemicals, including fuel, from any area where chemicals or fuel will be loaded or unloaded including the use of drip pans or absorbents unless infeasible. The Permittee(s) must conduct fueling in a contained area unless infeasible. The Permittee(s) must ensure adequate supplies are available at all times to clean up discharged materials and that an appropriate disposal method is available for recovered spilled materials. The Permittee(s) must report and clean up spills immediately as required by Minn. Stat. § 115.061, using dry clean up measures where possible.

3. Vehicle and equipment washing: If the Permittee(s) wash the exterior of vehicles or equipment

on the project site, washing must be limited to a defined area of the site. Runoff from the washing area must be contained in a sediment basin or other similarly effective controls and waste from the washing activity must be properly disposed of. The Permittee(s) must properly use and store soaps, detergents, or solvents. No engine degreasing is allowed on site.

4. Concrete and other washouts waste: The Permittee(s) must provide effective containment for

all liquid and solid wastes generated by washout operations (concrete, stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other construction materials) related to the construction activity. The liquid and solid washout wastes must not contact the ground, and the containment must be designed so that it does not result in runoff from the washout operations or areas. Liquid and solid wastes must be disposed of properly and in compliance with MPCA rules. A sign must be installed adjacent to each washout facility that requires site personnel to utilize the proper facilities for disposal of concrete and other washout wastes.

IV.G. FINAL STABILIZATION The Permittee(s) must ensure Final Stabilization of the site. Final Stabilization is not complete until all requirements of Parts IV.G.1‐5. are complete: 1. All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and all soils are stabilized by a

uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70 percent of its expected final growth density over the entire pervious surface area, or other equivalent means necessary to prevent soil failure under erosive conditions.

2. The permanent stormwater management system is constructed, meets all requirements in Part III.D. and is operating as designed. Temporary or permanent sedimentation basins that are

to be used as permanent water quality management basins have been cleaned of any accumulated sediment. All sediment has been removed from conveyance systems and ditches are stabilized with permanent cover.

3. All temporary synthetic and structural erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs (such as

silt fence) have been removed on the portions of the site for which the Permittee(s) is/are responsible. BMPs designed to decompose on site (such as some compost logs) may be left in place.

4. For residential construction only, individual lots are considered finally stabilized if the

structure(s) are finished and temporary erosion protection and downgradient perimeter control has been completed and the residence has been sold to the homeowner. Additionally, the Permittee has distributed the MPCA’s “Homeowner Fact Sheet” to the homeowner to inform


wq-strm2-68a

the homeowner of the need for, and benefits of, permanent cover.

5. For construction projects on agricultural land (e.g., pipelines across crop, field pasture or range land) the disturbed land has been returned to its preconstruction agricultural use.

PART V. GENERAL PROVISIONS

wq-strm2-68a

Act for phosphorus (nutrient eutrophication biological indicators), turbidity, dissolved oxygen or aquatic biota (fish bioassessment, aquatic plant bioassessment and aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessment).

a. Impaired Water Without an Approved TMDL or With an Approved TMDL and No Waste Load

Allocation:

If runoff from the site discharges to an impaired water, and a TMDL has not been approved by USEPA or there is a USEPA approved TMDL that does not establish a Waste Load Allocation (WLA) for construction stormwater, discharges to these waters must incorporate the BMPs outlined in C.1. and C.2. of this Appendix.

b. Impaired Water With an Approved TMDL and WLA: If runoff from the site discharges to an impaired water for which there is a USEPA approved

TMDL that establishes a WLA for construction stormwater, and the TMDL does not identify any specific implementation activities that would apply to the site discharges, discharges to these waters must incorporate the BMPs outlined in C.1. and C.2. of this Appendix.

If the TMDL identifies specific implementation activities regarding construction stormwater that would apply to the site discharges, the Permittee(s) must include the following in the SWPPP:

i. Identify the receiving water, the areas of the site discharging to it, and the pollutant(s)

identified in the TMDL and ii. BMPs identified in the TMDL and any other specific construction stormwater related

implementation activities identified in the TMDL. Note on impaired waters listing terminology: The terms in parenthesis in Appendix A, Part B.10. above are the most current terminology used to list waters as impaired at the time of permit issuance. These terms are subject to change. For example, at one time waters were listed as impaired for phosphorus and now those same waters are listed as impaired for nutrient eutrophication biological indicators. If the terminology changes for one of the pollutant(s) or stressor(s) identified in the permit, the MPCA will keep a list of the new terms on its construction stormwater website.

C. ADDITIONAL BMPS FOR SPECIAL WATERS AND IMPAIRED WATERS

For the BMPs described in C.2., and C.4. of this Appendix: Where the proximity to bedrock precludes the installation of any of the permanent stormwater management practices outlined in Appendix A, other treatment (such as grassed swales, smaller ponds, or grit chambers) is required prior to discharge to surface waters. For work on linear projects with lack of right‐of‐way where the Permittee(s) cannot obtain an easement or other permission for property needed to install treatment systems capable of treating the entire water quality volume on site, the Permittee(s) must maximize the water quality volume that can be treated prior to discharge to surface waters. Treatment can be provided through other


wq-strm2-68a

methods or combination of methods such as grassed swales, filtration systems, smaller ponds or grit chambers prior to discharge to surface waters. A reasonable attempt must be made to obtain right‐of‐way during the project planning process. Documentation of these attempts must be in the SWPPP per Part III.A.5.m. in the section addressing infeasibility.

1. During construction:

a. Stabilization of all exposed soil areas must be initiated immediately to limit soil erosion but in no case completed later than seven (7) days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased.

b. Temporary sediment basin requirements described in Part III.C. must be used for common

drainage locations that serve an area with five (5) or more acres disturbed at one time.

2. Post construction: The water quality volume that must be retained on site by the project’s permanent stormwater management system described in Part III.D. shall be one (1) inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces created by the project. See Part III.D.1. for more information on infiltration design, prohibitions and appropriate site conditions.

3. Buffer zone: The Permittee(s) shall include an undisturbed buffer zone of not less than 100 linear feet from the special water (not including tributaries) and this buffer zone shall be maintained at all times, both during construction and as a permanent feature post construction, except where a water crossing or other encroachment is necessary to complete the project. The Permittee(s) must fully document the circumstance and reasons that the buffer encroachment is necessary in the SWPPP and include restoration activities. Replacement of existing impervious surface within the buffer is allowed under this permit. All potential water quality, scenic and other environmental impacts of these exceptions must be minimized by the use of additional or redundant BMPs and documented in the SWPPP for the project.

4. Temperature Controls: The Permittee(s) must design the Permanent Stormwater Management

System such that the discharge from the project will minimize any increase in the temperature of trout stream receiving waters resulting from the one (1)‐and two (2)‐year 24‐hour precipitation events. This includes all tributaries of designated trout streams within the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Section that the trout stream is located. Projects that discharge to trout streams must minimize the impact using one or more of the following measures, in order of preference:

a. Minimize new impervious surfaces. b. Minimize the discharge from connected impervious surfaces by discharging to vegetated

areas, or grass swales, and through the use of other non‐structural controls. c. Infiltration or other volume reduction practices to reduce runoff in excess of pre‐project

conditions (up to the two (2)‐year 24‐hour precipitation event). d. If ponding is used, the design must include an appropriate combination of measures such as

shading, filtered bottom withdrawal, vegetated swale discharges or constructed wetland treatment cells that will limit temperature increases. The pond should be designed to draw down in 24 hours or less.


wq-strm2-68a

e. Other methods that will minimize any increase in the temperature of the trout stream.

D. REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCHARGING TO WETLANDS If the project has any discharges with the potential for significant adverse impacts to a wetland,

(e.g., conversion of a natural wetland to a stormwater pond) the Permittee(s) must demonstrate that the wetland mitigative sequence has been followed in accordance with D.1 or D.2 of this Appendix.

1. If the potential adverse impacts to a wetland on a specific project site have been addressed by

permits or other approvals from an official statewide program (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 program, Minnesota DNR, or the State of Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act) that are issued specifically for the project and project site, the Permittee(s) may use the permit or other determination issued by these agencies to show that the potential adverse impacts have been addressed. For the purposes of this permit, deminimus actions are determinations by the permitting agency that address the project impacts, whereas a non‐jurisdictional determination does not address project impacts.

2. If there are impacts from the project that are not addressed in one of the permits or other

determinations discussed in Appendix A, Part D.1. (e.g., permanent inundation or flooding of the wetland, significant degradation of water quality, excavation, filling, draining), the Permittee(s) must minimize all adverse impacts to wetlands by utilizing appropriate measures. Measures used must be based on the nature of the wetland, its vegetative community types and the established hydrology. These measures include in order of preference:

a. Avoid all significant adverse impacts to wetlands from the project and post‐project

discharge.

b. Minimize any unavoidable impacts from the project and post‐project discharge.

c. Provide compensatory mitigation when the Permittee(s) determine(s) that there is no reasonable and practicable alternative to having a significant adverse impact on a wetland. For compensatory mitigation, wetland restoration or creation shall be of the same type, size and whenever reasonable and practicable in the same watershed as the impacted wetland.

E. DISCHARGES REQUIRING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This permit does not replace or satisfy any environmental review requirements, including those

under the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act or the National Environmental Policy Act. The owner must verify that any environmental review required by law, including any required Environmental Assessment Work sheets or Environmental Impact Statements, Federal environmental review, or other required review is complete before making application for coverage under this permit, and the owner must incorporate any stormwater mitigation measures required as the result of any environmental review into the SWPPP for the project. If any part of your common plan of development or sale requires environmental review, coverage under this permit cannot be obtained until such environmental review is complete.

F. DISCHARGES AFFECTING ENDANGERED OR THREATENED SPECIES


wq-strm2-68a

This permit does not replace or satisfy any review requirements for endangered or threatened

species, from new or expanded discharges that adversely impact or contribute to adverse impacts on a listed endangered or threatened species, or adversely modify a designated critical habitat. The owner must conduct any required review and coordinate with appropriate agencies for any project with the potential of affecting threatened or endangered species, or their critical habitat.

G. DISCHARGES AFFECTING HISTORIC PLACES OR ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES This permit does not replace or satisfy any review requirements for historic places or archeological

sites, from new or expanded discharges that adversely affect properties listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or affecting known or discovered archeological sites. The owner must be in compliance with National Historic Preservation Act and conduct all required review and coordination related to historic preservation, including significant anthropological sites and any burial sites, with the Minnesota Historic Preservation Officer.

18. “Operator” means the person designated by the owner, who has day to day operational control

and/or the ability to modify project plans and specifications related to the SWPPP. The operator must be named on the permit as a Permittee.

19. “Owner” means the person or party possessing the title of the land on which the construction

activities will occur; or if the construction activity is for a lease, easement, or mineral rights license holder, the party or individual identified as the lease, easement or mineral rights license holder; or the contracting government agency responsible for the construction activity.

20. “Permanent Cover” means surface types that will prevent soil failure under erosive conditions.

Examples include: gravel, asphalt, concrete, rip rap, roof tops, perennial cover, or other landscaped material that will permanently arrest soil erosion. A uniform perennial vegetative cover ( i.e. evenly distributed, without large bare areas) with a density of 70 percent of the native background vegetative cover for the area must be established on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures, or equivalent permanent stabilization measures. Permanent cover does not include the practices listed under temporary erosion protection.

21. “Permittee(s)” means the person or persons, firm, or governmental agency or other entity that signs the application submitted to the MPCA and is responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.

22. “Project(s)” means all construction activity that is planned and/or conducted under a particular permit. The project will occur on the site or sites described in the permit application, the SWPPP and in the associated plans, specifications and contract documents.

23. “Public Waters” means all water basins and watercourses that are described in Minn. Stat. §

103G.005 subd. 15.

24. “Saturated Soil” means the highest seasonal elevation in the soil that is in a reduced chemical state because of soil voids being filled with water Saturated soil is evidenced by the presence of redoximorphic features or other information.

25. “Sediment Control” means methods employed to prevent sediment from leaving the site. Sediment control practices include silt fences, sediment traps, earth dikes, drainage swales, check dams, subsurface drains, bio rolls, rock logs, compost logs, storm drain inlet protection, and temporary or permanent sedimentation basins. A floating silt curtain placed in the water is not a sediment control BMP to satisfy perimeter control requirements, except as provided for in Part IV.C.2.

26. “Stabilize, Stabilized, Stabilization” means the exposed ground surface has been covered by appropriate materials such as mulch, staked sod, riprap, erosion control blanket, mats or other material that prevents erosion from occurring. Grass, agricultural crop or other seeding alone is not stabilization. Mulch materials must achieve approximately 90 percent ground coverage (typically 2 ton/acre).

27. “Standard details” means generic drawings showing a common or repeated construction activity or practice.

28. “Stormwater” is defined under Minn. R. 7077.0105, subp. 41(b), and includes precipitation runoff,

stormwater runoff, snowmelt runoff, and any other surface runoff and drainage. 29. “Steep Slopes” means slopes that are 1:3 (V:H) (33.3 percent) or steeper in grade.

30. “Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)” means a plan for stormwater discharge that

includes all required content under Part III of this Permit and which describes the erosion prevention BMPs, sediment control BMPs and Permanent Stormwater Management Systems that, when implemented, will decrease soil erosion on a parcel of land and decrease off‐site nonpoint pollution.

31. “Surface Water or Waters” means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, wetlands, reservoirs, springs,

rivers, drainage systems, waterways, watercourses, and irrigation systems whether natural or artificial, public or private, except that surface waters do not include treatment basins or ponds that were constructed from upland. Treatment basins or ponds that were constructed in wetlands and mitigated in accordance with Appendix A.D are also not considered surface waters for purposes of this permit.

32. “Temporary Erosion Protection” means methods employed to prevent erosion during construction

activities. Examples of temporary erosion protection include, but are not limited to: straw, wood fiber blanket, wood chips, vegetation, mulch, and rolled erosion control products.

33. “Underground Waters” means water contained below the surface of the earth in the saturated zone

including, without limitation, all waters whether under confined, unconfined, or perched conditions, in near surface unconsolidated sediment or regolith, or in rock formations deeper underground. The term ground water shall be synonymous with underground water.

34. “Waters of the State” (as defined in Minn. Stat. § 115.01, subd. 22) means all streams, lakes, ponds,

marshes, watercourses, waterways, wells, springs, reservoirs, aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems and all other bodies or accumulations of water, surface or underground, natural or artificial, public or private, which are contained within, flow through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof.

35. “Water Quality Volume” means one (1) inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces created by

this project (calculated as an instantaneous volume) and is the volume of water to be treated in the Permanent Stormwater Management System, as required by this permit.

36. “Wetland” or “Wetlands” is defined in Minn. R. 7050.0186, subp. 1a.B. and includes those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Constructed wetlands designed for wastewater treatment are not waters of the state. Wetlands must have the following attributes:

a. A predominance of hydric soils

b. Inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient

to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in a saturated soil condition and

c. Under normal circumstances support a prevalence of such vegetation.
