structures designed to keep silt, sediment, and construction debris from entering
pipe systems through open inlet structures. - ANSWER ✓ pre fabricated inlet
protection description
1. Does this project have an approved permit.
2. Are the erosion and sediment control measures installed and being maintained as
shown on the approved plan?
3 Is erosion being controlled on the site.
4. Is sediment being contained on the site.
5. Are any adjacent properties or state waters being impacted. - ANSWER ✓
5quesions every inspector should address for each site visit
ensure that BMPs are being properly maintained, including cleanout repairs. -
ANSWER ✓ inspector on site evaluation
mark plans noting areas of special concern.
Locate BMP's and designed structures- highlight each structure
note topography
note existing off site conditions - ANSWER ✓ intial field visit
observe surrounding- note weather conditions, date, time, precipitation since last
inspection.
phase of construction
check construction entrance - ANSWER ✓ field inspection
, pre construction conference certification (d-0436
contractor certification form (d-0437) - ANSWER ✓ Required certification forms
for each permitted project
- CONTRACTOR/SUBCONTRACTOR LOG
- SWPPP modification log
- Soil stabilization log
- Rain log
- Inspection log - ANSWER ✓ OS-SWPPP LOGS
THERE IS NO REQUIRED FORM FOR SCHEDULED SITE INSPECTIONS -
ANSWER ✓ scheduled inspection forms
include info when bmps perform as designed esp after large rain event, NOTE any
offsite conditions on initial inspection. - ANSWER ✓ scheduled inspection reports
Maintenance for ECBs/TRMs - ANSWER ✓ This erosion prevention BMP should
be: 1. Areas protected by ECBs/TRMs should be checked for dislocation or failure.
2. If washout or breakage occurs, re-install ECBs/TRMs as necessary after
repairing any slope or channel damage.
Final stabilization - ANSWER ✓ This means that all soil disturbing activities at
the site have been completed and either of the two following criteria are met: 1.
Uniform perennial vegetative cover with density of 70% has been established on
all unpaved areas. 2. Equivalent permanent stabilization measures (riprap, gabions,
or geotextiles) have been employed. Several methods can be used for this type of
stabilization: permanent seeding and planting of grasses, permanent planting of
ground cover plants, and sodding.
Maintenance for final stabilization - ANSWER ✓ This erosion prevention BMP
should be: 1. Inspected for failure and make necessary repairs, re-seed, or replace
failed plants. 2. If vegetative cover is inadequate to prevent rill erosion, overseed
and fertilize in accordance with soil test results. 3. Re-establish stand following
seed bed preparation and seeding recommendations.
Riprap channel - ANSWER ✓ This erosion prevention BMP is a permanent,
erosion-resistant channel lining aggregate consisting of large, loose, angular stone
with non-woven geotextile filter fabric or granular underlining to prevent soil
movement into or through riprap.
, Outlet protection - ANSWER ✓ This erosion prevention BMP protects area
around pipe and culvert outlets from scour and deterioration by dissipating flow
energy. This BMP includes TRMs, riprap, grouted riprap, concrete, gabion baskets,
or other structural measures. Under ALL riprap outlet protections, non-woven
geotextile filter fabric should be installed. ENSURE adequate length of outlet
protection measure to provide sufficient protection.
Maintenance for outlet protections - ANSWER ✓ This erosion prevention BMP
should be: 1. Check all outlet protection, aprons and structural outlets for damage.
2. Inspect outlet structures after heavy rains to see if any erosion has taken place
around or below structure.
Dust Control - ANSWER ✓ This erosion prevention BMP is intended to reduce
dust movement from disturbed soil surfaces. Methods include: project phasing,
vegetative cover, mulch, sprinkling water, spray-on adhesives, barriers and covers.
PAM - ANSWER ✓ aka Anion Polyacrylamide or polymers. Used as a non-toxic
chemical temporary tackifier for controlling soil erosion and as a flocculant to aid
sedimentation. They are available as dry/powder polyacrylamides, liquid
polyacrylamides, and solid/block polyacrylamides.
Surface withdrawal - ANSWER ✓ This is a sediment control BMP. When
discharging from sediment basins, utilize outlet structures that only withdraw water
from near the water's surface within the basin, unless feasible. Address this by
using floating skimmers.
Sediment basin design - ANSWER ✓ This sediment control BMP requires: 1.
Surface water withdrawal. 2. Clean out stake (1/2 of sediment storage volume) 3.
Public safety addresses, as applicable (safety fences and signs, vector control -
mosquitoes) 4. Sediment forebays, as applicable. 5. Porous baffles, as applicable.
Benefits of sediment forebays - ANSWER ✓ This sediment control BMP has
benefits including: 1. Reduction of runoff velocities. 2. Improves sediment
trapping. 3. Sediment deposition away from outlet structure. 4. Easier maintenance.
Requirements for sediment forebays - ANSWER ✓ This sediment control BMP
requires: 1. Install in all sediment basins. 2. Size based on total sediment storage. 3.
Earthen berms, riprap berms, or excavations.
