You must develop this plan in accordance with the TCEQ general permit requirements. This plan must be developed and implemented before you complete this NOi. This plan must be available for a TCEQ investigator to review on request. 2. Estimated Area of Land Disturbed Provide the approximate number of acres that the construction site will disturb. Construction activities that disturb less than one acres, unless they are part of a larger common plan that disturbs more than one acre, do not require permit coverage. Construction activities that disturb between one and five acres, unless they are part of a common plan that disturbs more than five acres, do not require submission of an NOI. Therefore, the estimated area of land disturbed should not be less than five, unless the project is part of a. larger common plan that disturbs five or more acres. If the acreage is less than 1, enter 1. "Disturb" means any clearing, grading, excavating, or other similar activities.

An MS4 operator is often a city, town, or utility district, but possibly another form of government. You must provide the name of the water body that receives the discharge from the construction site (a local stream or lake). Storm water may be discharged directly to a receiving stream or through a MS4. If known, please include the segment number if the discharge is to a classified water body. " .

Application to Terminate Coverage Each operator that has submitted an NOi for authorization under this general permit must apply to terminate that authorization following the conditions described in this section of the general permit. Authorization must be terminated by submitting a Notice of Termination (NOT) on a form supplied by the executive director. Authorization to discharge under this permit terminates at midnight on the day the NOT is postmarked for delivery to the TCEQ. If electronic submission of the NOT is provided, authorization to discharge under this permit terminates immediately following confirmation of receipt of the NOT by the TCEQ. Compliance with the conditions and requirements of this permit is required until an NOT is submitted. 1. Notice of Termination Required The NOT must be submitted to TCEQ, and a copy of the NOT provided to the operator of any MS4 receiving the discharge, within thirty (30) days, after: (a) final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee: or (b) another permitted operator has assumed control over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized; and ( c) all silt fences and other temporary erosion controls have either been removed, scheduled for removal as defined in the SWP3, or transferred to a new operator if the new operator has sought permit coverage. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in place for an indefinite period, such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be removed or scheduled for removal. 2. Minimum Contents of the NOT The NOT form shall require, at a minimum, the following information: (a) if authorization was granted following submission of a NOi, the permittees site-specific TPDES general permit number for the construction site; Page 15 Section F. TPDES General Permit TXR.l 50000 (b) an indication of whether the construction activity is completed or if the permittee is simply no longer an operator at the site; ( c) the name, address and telephone number of the permittee submitting the NOT; (d) the name (or other identifier), address, county, and latitude/longitude of the construction project or site; and ( e) a signed certification that either all storm water discharges reqwnng authorization under this general permit will no longer occur, or that the applicant to terminate coverage is no longer the operator of the facility or construction site, and that all temporary structural erosion controls have either been removed, will be removed on a schedule defined in the SWP3, or transferred to a new operator if the new operator has applied for permit coverage. Erosion controls that are designed to remain in place for an indefinite period, such as mulches and fiber mats, are not required to be removed or scheduled for removal. Waivers from Coverage The executive director may waive the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit for storm water discharges from small construction activities under the terms and conditions described in this section. I. . Waiver Applicability and Coverage Operators of small construction activities may apply for and receive a waiver from the requirements to obtain authorization under this general permit where: (a) the calculated rainfall erosivity R factor for the entire period of the construction project is less than five (5 ); (b) the operator submits a signed waiver certification form, supplied by the executive director, certifying that the construction activity will commence and be completed within a period when the value of the calculated rainfall erosivity R factor is less than five (5); and (c) the waiver certification form is submitted to the TCEQ at least two (2) days before construction activity begins. 2. Effective Date of Waiver Operators of small construction activities are provisionally waived from the otherwise applicable requirements of this general permit two (2) days from the date that a completed waiver certification form is postmarked for delivery to TCEQ. Page 16 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 3. Activities Extending Beyond the Waiver Period Section G. 1. If a construction activity extends beyond the approved waiver period due to circumstances beyond the control of the operator, the operator must either: (a) recalculate the rainfall erosivity factor R factor using the original start date and a new projected ending date, and if the R factor is still under five (5), submit a new waiver certification form at least two (2) days before the end of the original waiver period; or (b) obtain authorization under this general permit according to the requirements delineated in either Part Il.D.2. or Part 11.D.3. at least two (2) days before the end of the approved waiver petiod. Alternative TPDES Permit Coverage Individual Permit Alternative Any discharge eligible for coverage under this general permit may alternatively be authorized under an individual TPDES permit according to 30 TAC Chapter 305 (relating to Consolidated Permits). Applications for individual permit coverage should be submitted at least three hundred and thirty (330) days prior to commencement of construction activities to ensure timely issuance. 2. Individual Permit Required The executive director may suspend an authorization or NOi in accordance with the procedures set forth in 30 TAC Chapter 205, including the requirement that the executive director provide written notice to the permittee. The executive director may require an operator of a construction site, otherwise eligible for authorization under this general permit, to apply for an individual TPDES permit because of: (a) the conditions of an approved TMDL or TMDL implementation plan; (b) the activity is determined to cause a violation of water quality standards or is found to cause, or contribute to, the loss of a designated use of surface water in the state: and (c) any other considerations defined in 30 TAC Chapter 205 would include the provision at 30 TAC § 205.4(c)(3)(D), which allows TCEQ to deny authorization under the general permit and require an individual permit if a discharger "has been determined by the executive director to have been out of compliance with any rule, order, or permit of the commission, including non-payment of fees assessed by the executive director." Page 17 3. Section H. TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000 Any discharge eligible for.authorization under this.general permit may alternatively be authorized under a separate, applicable general permit according to 30 TAC Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges). Permit Expiration This general permit shall be issued for a term not to exceed five ( 5) years. Following public notice and comment, as provided by 30 TAC§ 205.3 (relating to Public Notice, Public Meetings, and Public Comment), the commission may amend, revoke, cancel, or renew this general permit. If the TCEQ publishes a notice of its intent to renew or amend this general permit before the expiration date, the permit will remain in effect for existing, authorized, discharges until the commission takes final action on the permit. Upon issuance of a renewed or amended permit, permittees may be required to submit an NOI within 90 days following the effective date of the renewed or amended permit, unless that permit provides for an alternative method for obtaining authorization. In the event that the general permit is not renewed, discharges that are authorized under the general permit must obtain either a TPDES individual permit or coverage under an alternative general permit. Part III. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3) Storm water pollution prevention plans must be prepared for storm water discharges that will reach Waters of the United States, including discharges to MS4 systems and privately owned separate storm sewer systems that drain to Waters of the United States, to identify and address potential sources of pollution that are reasonably expected to affect the quality of discharges from the construction site, including off-site material storage areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, borrow areas, equipment staging areas, vehicle repair areas, fueling areas, etc., used solely by the permitted project. The SWP3 must describe and ensure the implementation of practices that will be used to reduce the pollutants in storm water discharges associated with construction activity at the construction site and assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Individual operators at a site may develop separate SWP3s that cover only their portion of the project provided reference is made te> the other operators at the site. Where there is more than one SWP3 for a site, permittees must coordinate to ensure that BMPs and controls are consistent, and do not negate or impair the effectiveness of each other. Regardless of whether a single comprehensive SWP3 is developed, or separate SWP3s are developed for each operator, it is the responsibility of each operator to ensure that compliance with the terms and conditions of this general permit is met in the areas of the construction site where that operator has operational control over construction plans and specifications or day-to-day operational control. Section A. Shared SWP3 Development For more effective coordination ofBMPs and opportunities for cost sharing, a cooperative effort by the different operators at a site is encouraged. Operators must independently submit an NOI and obtain authorization, but may work together to prepare and implement a single comprehensive SWP3 for the entire construction site. Page 18 1. 2. Section B. 1. TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000 The SWP3 must clearly list the name and, for large construction activities, the general permit authorization numbers, for each operator that participates in the shared SWP3. Until the TCEQ responds to receipt of the NOi with a general permit authorization number, the SWP3 must specify the date that the NOi was submitted to TCEQ by each operator. Each participant in the shared plan must also sign the SWP3. The SWP3 must clearly indicate which operator is responsible for satisfying each shared requirement of the SWP3. If the responsibility for satisfying a requirement is not described in the plan, then each permittee is entirely responsible for meeting the requirement within the boundaries of the construction site where they perform construction activities. The SWP3 must clearly describe responsibilities for meeting each requirement in shared or common areas. Responsibilities of Operators Operators with Control Over Construction Plans and Specifications All operators with operational control over construction plans and specifications to the extent necessary to meet the requirements and conditions of this general permit must: (a) ensure the project specifications allow or provide that adequate BMPs may be developed to meet the requirements of Part III of this general permit; (b) ensure that the SWP3 indicates the areas of the project where they have operational control oyer project specifications (including the ability to make modifications in specifications); ( c) ensure all other operators affected by modifications in project specifications are notified in a timely manner such that those operators may modify best management practices as are necessary to remain compliant with the conditions of this general permit; and ( d) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators indicates the name and TPDES permit numbers for permittees with the day- to-day operational control over those activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions. In the case that responsible parties have not been identified, the permittee with operational control over project specifications must be considered to be the responsible party until such time as the authority is transferred to another party and the plan is updated. Page 19 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 2. Operators with Day-to-Day Operational Control Section C. I. Operators with day-to-day operational control of those activities at a project that are necessary to ensure compliance with a SWP3 and other permit conditions must: (a) ensure that the SWP3 for portions of the project where they are operators meets the requirements of this general permit; (b) ensure that the SWP3 identifies the parties responsible for implementation of best management practices described in the plan; ( c) ensure that the SWP3 indicates areas of the project where they have operational control over day-to-day activities; ( d) ensure that the SWP3 indicates, for areas where they have operational control over day-to-day activities, the name and TPDES permit number of the parties with operatfonal control over project specifications (including the ability to make modifications in specifications). Deadlines for SWP3 Preparation and Compliance The SWP3 must be: (a) completed prior to obtaining authorization under this general permit; (b) implemented prior to commencing construction activities that result in soil disturbance; (c) updated as necessary to reflect the changing conditions of new operators, new areas of responsibility, and changes in best management practices; and ( d) prepared so that it provides for compliance with the terms and conditions of this general permit. Section D. Plan Review and Making Plans Available I. The SWP3 must be retained on-site at the construction site or, if the site is inactive or does not have an on-site location to store the plan, a notice must be posted describing the location of the SWP3. The SWP3 must be made readily available at the time of an on-site inspection to: the executive director; a federal, state, or local agency approving sediment and erosion · plans, grading plans, or storm water management plans; local government officials; and the operator of a municipal separate storm sewer receiving discharges from the site. 2. Operators of a large construction activity obtaining authorization to discharge through submission of a NOI must post a notice near the main entrance of the Page 20 3. Section E. J TPDES General Pemiit TXR150000 construction site. If the construction project is a linear construction project (e.g. pipeline, highway, etc.), the notice must be placed in a publicly accessible location near where construction is actively underway. Notice for these linear sites may be relocated, as necessary, along the length of the project. The notice must be readily available for viewing by the general public, local, state, and federal authorities, and contain the following information: (a) the TPDES general permit number forthe project (or a copy of the NOi that was submitted to the TCEQ if a permit number has not yet been assigned); (b) the name and telephone number of a representative for the operator; ( c) a brief description of the project; and (d) the location of the SWP3. This permit does not provide the general public with any right to trespass on a construction site for any reason, including inspection of a site; nor does this permit require that permittees allow members of the general public access to a construction site. Keeping Plans Current The permittee must revise or update the storm water pollution prevention plan whenever: I. 2. Section F. there is a change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance that has a significant effect on the discharge of pollutants and that has not been previously addressed in the SWP3; or results of inspections or investigations by site operators, operators of a municipal separate storm sewer system receiving the discharge, authorized TCEQ personnel, or a federal, state or local agency approving sediment and erosion plans indicate the SWP3 is proving ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants in discharges authorized under this general permit. Contents of SWP3 The SWP3 must include, at a minimum, the information described in this section. 1. A site description, or project description must be developed to include: ·(a) a description of the nature of the construction activity, potential pollutants and sources; (b) a description of the intended schedule or sequence of major activities that will disturb soils for major portions of the site; Page 21 TPDES General Permit TXRl 50000 ( c) the total number of acres of the entire property and the total number of acres where construction activities will occur, including off-site material storage areas, overburden and stockpiles of dirt, and borrow areas; ( d) data describing the soil or the quality of any discharge from the site; (e) a map showing the general location of the site (e.g. a portion of a city or county map); (t) a detailed site map (or maps) indicating the following: (i) drainage patterns and approximate slopes anticipated after major grading activities; (ii) areas where soil disturbance will occur; (iii) locations of all major structural controls either planned or in place; (iv) locations where stabilization practices are expected to be used; (v) locations of off-site material, waste, borrow, fill, or equipment storage areas; (vi) surface waters (including wetlands) either adjacent or in close proximity; and (vii) locations where storm water discharges from the site directly to a surface water body. (g) the location and description of asphalt plants and concrete plants providing support to the construction site and authorized under this general permit; (h) the name ofreceiving waters at or near the site that will be disturbed or that will receive discharges from disturbed areas of the project; and (i) a copy of this TPDES general permit. 2. The SWP3 must describe the best management practices that will be used to minimize pollution in runoff. The description must identify the general timing or sequence for implementation. At a minimum, the description must include the following components: (a) Erosion and Sediment Controls (i) Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment on-site to the extent practicable with consideration for local Page 22 TPDES General Permit TXRISOOOO topography, soil type, and rainfall. Controls must also be designed and utilized to reduce the offsite transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump or channel standing water from the site. (ii) Control measures must be properly selected, installed, and maintained according to the manufacturer's or designer's specifications. If periodic inspections or other information indicates a control has been used incorrectly, or that the control is performing inadequately, the operator must replace or modify the control as soon as practicable after discovery that the control has been used incorrectly, is performing inadequately, or is damaged. (iii) Sediment must be removed from sediment traps and sedimentation ponds no later than the time that design capacity has been reduced by 50%. (iv) If sediment escapes the site, accumulations must be removed at a frequency to minimize further negative effects, and whenever feasible, prior to the next rain event. (v) Controls must be developed to limit, to the extent practicable, offsite · transport of litter, construction debris, and construction materials. (b) Stabilization Practices The SWP3 must include a description of interim and permanent stabilization practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be implemented. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation is preserved where it is possible. (i) Stabilization practices may include but are not limited to: establishment of temporary vegetation, establishment of permanent vegetation, mulching, geotextiles, sod stabilization, vegetative buffer · strips, protection of existing trees and vegetation, and other similar measures. (ii) The following records must be maintained and either attached to or referenced in the SWP3, and made readily available upon request to the parties in Part IIl.D.1 of this general permit: (a) the dates when major grading activities occur; (b) the dates when construction activities temporarily or permanently cease on a portion of the site; and Page 23 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 ( c) the dates when stabilization measures are initiated. (iii) Stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or pennanently ceased, and except as provided in (a) through ( c) below, must be initiated no more than fourteen ( 14) days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or pennanently ceased. (a) Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground conditions, stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable. (b) Where construction activity on a portion of the site is temporarily ceased, and earth disturbing activities will be resumed within twenty-one (21) days, temporary stabilization measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of site. ( c) In arid areas (areas with an average rainfall of 0 to I 0 inches), semiarid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 20 inches), and areas experiencing droughts where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14th day after construction activity has temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by seasonably arid conditions, stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable. 3. Structural Control Practices The SWP3 must include a description of any structural control practices used to divert flows away from exposed soils, to limit the contact of runoff with disturbed areas, or to lessen the off-site transport of eroded soils. (a) Sediment basins are required, where feasible for common drainage locations that serve an area with ten (10) or more acres disturbed at one time, a temporary (or pennanent) sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, shall be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site. Where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be performed, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin providing 3 ,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained is required where attainable until final stabilization of the site. When calculating the volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm event, it is not required to include the flows from offsite areas and flow from onsite areas that are either undisturbed or have already undergone final stabilization, if Page 24 TPDES General Permit TXR.l 50000 these flows are diverted around both the disturbed areas of the site and the sediment basin. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is feasible, the permittee may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available area on site, public safety, precipitation patterns, site geometry, site vegetation, infiltration capacity, geotechnical factors, depth to groundwater and other similar considerations. Where sediment basins are not feasible, equivalent control measures , which may include a series of smaller sediment basins, must be used. At a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and for those side slope boundaries deemep appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of the construction area. (b) Sediment traps and sediment basins may also be used to control solids in storm water runoff for drainage locations serving less than ten ( 10) acres. At a minimum, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of the construction. Alternatively, a sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each disturbed acre drained, or equivalent control measures, may be provided or where rainfall data is not available or a calculation cannot be performed, a temporary (or pennanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained may be provided. 4. Permanent Storm Water Controls A description of any measures that will be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction operations have been completed must be included in the SWP3. Permittees are only responsible for the installation and maintenance of storm water management measures prior to final stabilization of the site or prior to submission of an NOT. 5. Other Controls (a) Off-site v.ehicle tracking of sediments and the generation of dust must be minimized. (b) The SWP3 must include a description of construction and waste materials expected to be stored on-site and a description of controls to reduce pollutants from these materials. (c) The SWP3 must include a description of pollutant sources from areas other than construction (including storm water discharges from dedicated asphalt plants and dedicated concrete plants), and a description of controls and measures that will be implemented at those sites to minimize pollutant discharges. Page 25 TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000 ( d) Velocity dissipation devices shall be placed at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel to provide a non-erosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and protected. 6. Approved State and Local Plans (a) Perrnittees must ensure the SWP3 is consistent with requirements specified in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or site permits, or storm water management site plans or site permits approved by federal, state, or local officials. (b) SWP3s must be updated as necessary to remain consistent with any changes applicable to protecting surface water resources in sediment erosion site plans or site permits, or storm water management site plans or site permits approved by state or local official for which the permittee receives written notice. 7. Maintenance All erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures identified in the SWP3 must be maintained in effective operating condition. If through inspections the pennittee determines that BMPs are not operating effectively, maintenance must be performed before the next anticipated storm event or as necessary to maintain the continued effectiveness of storm water controls. If maintenance prior to the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, maintenance must be scheduled and accomplished as soon as practicable. Erosion and sediment controls that have been intentionally disabled, run-over, removed, or otherwise rendered ineffective must be replaced or corrected immediately upon discovery. 8. Inspections of Controls In the event of flooding or other uncontrollable situations which prohibit access to the inspection sites, inspections must be conducted as soon as access is practicable (a) Personnel provided by the pennittee and familiar with the SWP3 must inspect disturbed areas of the construction site that have not been finally stabilized, areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation, and structural controls for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system. Sediment and erosion control measures identified in the SWP3 must be inspected to ensure that they are operating correctly. Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site must be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking. Inspections must be conducted at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of the end of a storm event of0.5 inches or greater. Page 26 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 Where sites have been finally or temporarily stabilized, where runoff is unlikely due to winter conditions (e.g. site is covered with snow, ice, or frozen ground exists), or during seasonal arid periods in arid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall ofO to 10 inches) and semi-arid areas (areas with an average annual rainfall of IO to 20 inches), inspections must be conducted at least once every month. As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm event of 0.5 ihcbes or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that these inspections will occur at least once every seven (7) calendar days. If this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a specifically defined day, regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall event since the previous inspection. (b) Utility line installation, pipeline construction, and other examples of long, narrow, linear construction activities may provide inspection personnel with limited ·access to the areas described in Part III.F.8.(a) above. Inspection of these areas could require that vehicles compromise temporarily or even permanently stabilized areas, cause additional disturbance of soils, and increase the potential for erosion. In these circumstances, controls must be inspected at least once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of the end of a storm event of 0.5 inches, but representative inspections may be performed. For representative inspections, personnel must inspect controls along the construction site for 0.25 mile above and below each access point where a roadway, undisturbed right-of-way, or other similar feature intersects the construction site and allows access to the areas described in Part III.F. 8 .(a) above. The conditions of the controls along each inspected 0.25 mile segment may be considered as representative of the condition of controls along that reach extending from the end of the 0.25 mile segment to either the end of the next 0.25 mile inspected segment, or to the end of the project, whichever occurs first. As an alternative to the above-described inspection schedule of once every fourteen (14) calendar days and within twenty four (24) hours of a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater, the SWP3 may be developed to require that these inspections will occur at least once every seven (7) calendar days. If this alternative schedule is developed, the inspection must occur on a specifically defined day, regardless of whether or not there has been a rainfall event since the previous inspection. (c) The SWP3 must be modified based on the results of inspections, as necessary, to better control pollutants in runoff. Revisions to the SWP3 must be completed within seven (7) calendar days following the inspection. If existing BMPs are modified or if additional BMPs are necessary, an implementation schedule must be described in the SWP3 and wherever Page 27 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 possible those changes implemented before the next stonn event. If implementation before the next anticipated storm event is impracticable, these changes must be implemented as soon as practicable. (d) A report summarizing the scope of the inspection, names and qualifications of personnel making the inspection, the dates of the inspection, and major observations relating to the implementation of the SWP3 must be made and retained as part of the SWP3. Major observations should include: The locations of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site; locations of BMPs that need to be maintained; locations of BMPs that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; and locations where additional BMPs are needed. Actions taken as a result of inspections must be described within, and retained as a part of, the SWP3. Reports must identify any incidents of non- compliance. Where a report does not identify any incidents of non- compliance, the report must contain a certification that the facility or site is in compliance with the SWP3 and this permit. The report must be signed by the person and in the manner required by 30 TAC § 305.128 (relating to Signatories to Reports) 9. The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution prevention measures for all eligible non-stonn water components of the discharge. Part IV. Numeric Effiuent Limitations Section A. Limitations All discharges of stonn water runoff from concrete batch plants that qualify for coverage, and that are authorized to discharge storm water under the provisions of this general permit must be monitored at the following monitoring frequency and comply with the following numeric effluent limitations: Section B. Parameter Total Suspended Solids Oil and Grease pH *If discharge occurs. Reporting Requirements Limitations Daily Maximum 65 mg/I 15 mg/I between 6 and 9 standard units Monitoring Frequency 1/Year* 1/Year* I/Year* Results of monitoring for determining compliance with numeric effluent limitations must be recorded on a discharge monitoring report (DMR). The DMR must either be an original EPA No. 3320-1 form (Attachment 3 of this general permit), a duplicate of the form, or as otherwise provided by the executive director. Monitoring must be conducted prior to December 31 •1 for each annual Page 28 TPDES General Permit TXR150000 monitoring period. A copy of the DMR must either be retained at the facility or shall be made readily available for review by authorized TCEQ personnel upon request, by March 31 '1 following the end of each annual monitoring period. If the results indicate the violation of one or more of these numeric limitations, the permittee must also submit ·the DMR to the TCEQ's Information Resources Center (MC 212) by March 31 " of each annual monitoring period. Part V. Retention of Records The permittee must retain the following records for a minimum period of three (3) years from the date that a NOT is submitted as required by Part 11.D. For activities that are not required to submit an NOT, records shall be retained for a minimum period of three (3) years from the date that either: final stabilization has been achieved on all portions of the site that is the responsibility of the permittee; or another permitted operator has assumed control according to over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized. Records include: I. A copy of the SWP3 plan. 2. All reports and actions required by this permit, including a copy of the construction site notice. 3. All data used to complete the NOi, if an NOi is required for coverage under this general permit. Part VI. Standard Permit Conditions 1. The permittee has a duty to comply with all permit conditions. Failure to comply with any permit condition is a violation of the permit and statutes under which it was issued, and is grounds for enforcement action, for terminating coverage under this general permit, or for requiring a discharger to apply for and obtain an individual TPDES pennit. 2. Authorization under this general permit may be suspended or revoked for cause. Filing a notice of planned changes or anticipated non-compliance by the permittee does not stay any permit condition. The permittee must furnish to the executive director, upon request and within a reasonable time, any information necessary for the executive director to determine whether cause exists for revoking, suspending, or terminating authorization under this permit. Additionally, the permittee must provide to the executive director, upon request, copies of all records that the permittee is required to maintain as a condition of this general permit. 3. It is not a defense for a discharger in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity to maintain compliance with the permit conditions. 4. Inspection and entry shall be allowed under Texas Water Code Chapters 26-28, Health and Safety Code§§ 361.032-361.033 and 361.037, and 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 122.4l(i). The statement in Texas Water Code§ 26.014 that commission entry ofa facility shall occur according to an establishment's rules and regulations conceniing safety, internal security, and fire protection is not grounds for denial or restriction of entry to any part of the Page 29 TPDES General Permit TXRI 50000 facility or site, but merely describes the commission's duty to observe appropriate rules and regulations during an inspection. 5. The discharger is subject to administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, as applicable, under Texas Water Code§§ 26.136, 26.212, and ~6.213 for violations including but not limited to the following: a. negligently or knowingly violating CWA, §§ 301 , 302, 306, 307, 308, 318, or 405, or any condition or limitation implementing·any sections in a permit issued under CW A, § 402, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under CWA, §§ 402(a)(3) or402(b)(8); b. knowingly making any false statement, representation, or certification in any record or other document submitted or required to be maintained under a permit, including monitoring reports or reports of compliance or noncompliance. 6. All reports and other information requested by the executive director must be signed by the person and in the manner.required by 30 TAC § 305 .128 (relating to Signatories to Reports). 7. Authorization under this general permit does not convey property or water rights of any sort and does not grant any exclusive privilege. Part VII. Fees Section A. Application Fees An application fee of $100 must be submitted with each NOi for coverage of a large construction activity. A fee is not required for submission of an NOT or NOC letter. Section B. Water Quality Fees Large construction activities authorized under this general permit must pay an annual Water Quality Fee of$100 under Texas Water Code 26.0291 and according to TAC Chapter 205 (relating to General Permits for Waste Discharges).

The information is accurate except that the 5 acre threshold has been reduced to 1 acre. ,. / Common Plan of Development or Sale: 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x) requires operators of construction or demolition projects disturbing 5 or more acres of earth, or less than 5 acres if part of a "larger common plan of development or sale" that cumulatively disturbs 5 or more acres to obtain an NPDES permit. Many people inquire as to what constitutes a common plan of development or sale and is there ever a time when this plan ends. A common plan of development or sale comes into being upon the time when there is documentation showing plans to disturb earth irregardless of how many phases or how long it will take. Common documents used in EPA investigations to confirm such a plan include plats, blue prints, marketing plans, and contracts. Sometimes a new operator will want to perform some earth disturbing activities at facility that originally was a common plan of development or sale, but wants to know if it still is a common plan of development or sale for which they would need to apply for permit coverage even if under 5 acres. EPA Region 6 has used a 2 prong test to determine if a facility is no longer a common plan of development or sale: 1. Was the original plan, including modifications, ever substantially completed with less than 5 acres of the original "common plan of development or sale" remaining (e.g., <5 acres of the "common plan" were not built out at the time)? 2. Is there a clearly identifiable period of time where there is no on-going construction, including meeting the criteria for final stabilization (e.g. couple of years or more)? If the new operator at a facility evaluates his project and determines that the original facility meets the two criteria above, then the original common plan of development or sale has ended and the operator should evaluate only their new construction plans. If the new plans are less than 5 acres and not part of another common plan of development or sale, then they would not need a permit. • Example 1: A residential subdivision was started in the 1980's. 97 of 100 houses were built at that time. A new operator comes along and wants to build the last 3 houses and they are less than 5 acres. Does the builder need a permit? Using the 2 criteria test above, the original purposes was substantially completed (there are less than 5 acres total remaining from the original "common plan") and there has been a clearly identifiable period of time of no on-going construction. So the new operator would not need a permit. http://www.epa.gov/ Arkansas/6en/w /sw/hottopcommon.htm 7/27/2004 Water Enforcement-Compliance Assurance and Enforcement-South Central Page 2 of 3 • Example 2: A residential subdivision was started in the early 1980's. Due to bankruptcy, only 40 of the 100 lots were ever completed. There has been no earth disturbing since the mid 1980's. Does this facility need a permit if a new operator wants to come build 2 new houses on 0.5 acre lots? Yes, the new operator needs a permit no matter how few of acres he's disturbing because the original common plan of development or sale was never substantially completed. To build out the remaining 60 lots from the original "common plan" would disturb more than 5 acres. • Example 3: A large mall was started last year and finished last month. At the last minute, the developer is able to buy 2 acres of adjacent property and wants to add some additional parking spaces to the new parking lot. He hires a new general contractor to build this parking lot. Does this new 2 acre parking lot need permit coverage? The original purposes may have been substantially completed, but there is no clearly identifiable time of no on- going construction. So the operators of the new parking lot would need a permit. • Example 4: A large industrial plant covering 15 acres was competed 2 years ago. The company has grown, so the owners have decided to expand the facility and bought 4 acres adjacent to the facility to add a new building, parking, etc. that will disturb 3 of the 4 acres. He hires a new general contractor to build this expansion. Does this facility expansion need permit coverage? The original purposes was substantially completed, there is a clearly identifiable time of no ongoing construction, and the expansion will disturb less than 5 acres. The expansion projects will not need a permit. REMINDER: The same "common plan of development or sale" approach will be used for Phase II when permits for construction projects disturbing 1-5 acres start needing permits March 10, 2003. You will then need to look at the remainder from a "common plan" to see if 1 or more acres would be disturbed. The preamble of the 1998 EPA Construction General Permit includes a description about common plans of development or sale. The following is that description as found at 63 Fed. Reg. No. 128, July 6, 1998, p 36491: My Project Will Disturb Less Than Five Acres, but it May Be Patt of a "Larger Common Plan of Development or Sale." How Can I Tell and What Must I do? If your smaller project is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that collectively will disturb five or more acres (e.g., you are building on six half-acre residential lots in a 10-acre development or are putting in a parking lot in a large retail center) you need permit coverage. The "plan" in a common plan of development or sale is broadly defined as any announcement or piece of documentation (including a sign, public notice or hearing, sales pitch, advertisement, drawing, permit application, zoning request, computer design, etc.) or physical demarcation (including boundary signs, lot stakes, surveyor markings, etc.) indicating construction activities may occur on a specific plot. You must still meet the definition of operator in order to be required to get permit coverage, regardless of the acreage you personally disturb. As a subcontractor, it is unlikely you would need a permit. For some situations where less than five acres of the original common plan of development remain undeveloped, a permit may not be needed for the construction projects "filling in" the last parts of the common plan of development. A case in which a permit would not be http://www.epa.gov/Arkansas/6en/w/sw/hottopcommon.htm 7/27/2004 Water Enforcement-Comphance Assurance ano .bntorcemem-;:,oum L,em ra1 needed is where several empty lots totaling less than five acres remain after the rest of the project had been completed, providing stabilization had also been completed for the entire project. However, if the total area of all the undeveloped lots in the ori ginal common plan of development was more than five acres, a permit would be needed. When Can You Consider Future Construction on a Separate Plan of Development or Sale? In many cases, a common plan of development or sale consists of many small construction projects that collectively add up to five (5) or more acres of total disturbed land. For example, an original common plan of development for a residential subdivision might lay out the streets, house lots, and areas for parks, schools and commercial development that the developer plans to build or sell to others for development. All these areas would remain part of the common plan of development or sale until the intended construction occurs. After this initial plan is completed for a particular parcel, any subsequent development or redevelopment of that parcel would be regarded as a new plan of development, and would then be subject to the five (5) acre cutoff for storm water permitting.

These are not official State documents and their use in whole or in part does not guarantee compliance with the TPDES permit. These worksheets are for guidance purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for the requirements outlined in the Part Ill of the TPDES permit relating to minimum SWP3 requirements. Feel free to alter the forms for your individual needs. It is recommended that you make a copy of the worksheets to maintain as originals, as some of the worksheets can be used for periodic inspections that will require one worksheet per inspection. Worksheet 1 -Operators with Control over Construction Plans and Specifications Part IIL Sect.B.1.(a)-(d) The Operator(s) with operational control over construction plans and specifications are responsible for the developing, implementing, maintailling, and revising the SWP3. These responsibilities should be clearly defined within the SWP3. Worksheet 1 allows for a brief description of how you will meet each of the elements in Part ID Sect B.l.(a)-(d). Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements for Signatory Authorities (30 TAC§ 305.128) and who will have control over the activities in the descriptions should be listed in the lines provided at the bottom of Worksheet 1. Worksheet 2 -Operators with Day-to-Day Operational Controls Part III, Sect. B.2.(a)-(d) The Operator(s) with day-to-day operational control will be responsible for all project activities necessary to ensure compliance with the SWP3 and other permit conditions. Worksheet 2 allows for a brief description of how you will meet each of the elements in Part ID Sect B.2.(a)-(d). Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements for Signatory Authorities (30 TAC§ 305 .128) and who will have control over the day-to-day activities in the descriptions should be listed in the lines provided at the bottom of Worksheet 2. Worksheet 3 -Site Description Part III, Sect. F.J.(a) Descnbe the nature of your construction activity. What are you constructing? What are the potential pollutants and their sources? Be as thorough as possible and include all activities that will disturb soil. The description for this portion of your SWP3 should allow an inspector to read and understand the what, how, where, and when of all construction activities taking place on-site. You may need additional space for a complete description or to update the description as plans change for the project. Worksheet 4 -Description of the Schedule or Sequence of Major Grading Activities. Part III, Sect. F.1.(b) In the table on Worksheet 4, descnbe the intended schedule or sequence of major activities that will disturb soils for major portions of the site. In column 1, describe the project phase (time period) when ·the activity will occur. In column 2, describe the activity (e.g. clearing, excavating, grading, s1ructure cons1ruction). In column 3, descnbe where the activity will take place. (It may be helpful to divide the project site into sections for this step in order to better identify where on-site the activity will take place.) In column 4 estimate how many acres the activity will disturb. Worksheet S -Acreage, Material Storage, and Soil Type Part ill, Sect. F.J.(c)-(d) Use the table at the top of Worksheet 5 to list stored matefials, the number of acres they are stored on, and the storage location on the site. In the grey area at the bottom of the table, list the total acreage of the property and total acreage of the area where soil will be disturbed. Note that these will usually be two different numbers. Data about the soil type must be included in your plan. Use the space at the bottom of this worksheet to list information about the type of soil on-site and to describe any discharge from the site. The soil description may include approximate percentage of rock, soil, sand, and clay. Discharge descriptions may include terms such as "silty'', "suspended solids", or "sandy" and should agree with the soil type that you described. In order to accurately describe site discharge, you may need to collect and visually inspect a sample of your discharge during a storm event to observe the quality of the discharge. Worksheet 6 -Location Map Part !IL Sect. F.l.(e) A map showing the general location of the site must be included in the SWP3. The map may be copied from a city or county map, downloaded from a map Web Site, or photocopied from any map that will show investigators where your site is located in relation to the surrounding area. Worksheet 7 -Detailed Site Map Part !IL Sect. F. If (!)-(vii) The SWP3 must include a detailed site map or maps. The map(s) may be hand-drawn or computer generated, and must include the entire site as well as: I.) Drainage patterns and approximate slopes anticipated after major grading activities; ii.) Areas where soil disturbance will occur; iii.) Locations of all major s1ructural controls, either planned or in place; iv.) Locations where stabiliz.ation practices are expected to be used; v.) Locations of off-site materiaL waste, borrow, fill, or equipment storage areas; vi.) Surface waters (including wetlands) either adjacent or in close proximity; and vii.) Locations where storm water from the site discharges directly to a surface water body. Example Site Map: Worksheet 8 -Site Description, Support Facilities Part IIL Sect. F.1.(g)-(h) i'C1C AArt ~~Utl· rn ntM U;j PmrSutra ..... eRn••T ~ .. ~ ... 01 ~~11:nCtlttJn ~ t m qlhn 111.1 Use the first table on Worksheet 8 to describe and give the locations of any asphalt plants, concrete batch plants, or other support facilities authorized under this general permit. The location(s) may be on- site, a physical address for the plant, or descriptive directions from the construction project site to the facility identified. Use the second table on Worksheet 8 to give the name and location of any receiving waters at or near the site that will be disturbed or receive discharges from the disturbed areas of the project. The nature of disturbance may be a direct discharge, indirect discharge, or other disturbance which you may describe in this column. Worksheet 9 -Best Management Practices (BMPs ), Erosion and Sediment Controls Part III, Sect. F.2.a. (!)-(iv) Erosion and sediment controls must be designed to retain sediment on-site to the maximwn extent practicable with consideration for local topography and rainfall. Controls must also be designed to limit off-site transport of suspended sediments and other pollutants if it is necessary to pump or channel standing water from the site. Examples of erosion controls include hay bales, silt fences, swales, mulch filter berms, rock berms, and vegetative filter strips. In the first table on Worksheet 9, list the erosion and sediment controls that you have implemented on-site, where they are located, how often they are inspected or require maintenance, and any modifications or replacements that are made to improve the BMPs performance throughout the length of the construction project If it is feasible to use sediment traps or ponds on your construction project, it will be necessary to remove sediments from the pond as soon as the design capacity has been reduced by 50%. Use the second table on Worksheet 9 to list the measures that will be impleinented on-site to reduce pollutants from being transported off-site due to the pumping activities. If the size of the project will not permit the use of ponds on-site, this section will not apply to your SWP3. Worksheet 10 -BMPs, Off-site Transfer of Pollutant Controls Part III, Sect. F.2.a.(v) Controls must be developed to limit off-site transport of litter, construction debris, and construction materials. Use Worksheet IO to list your good housekeeping BMPs and describe their location, or the operating procedures used on-site. Examples of good housekeeping BMPs include making regular site sweeps to collect litter, strategically placed trash dumpsters, restricting where scrap construction materials may be stored, and ensuring that all wood or other building materials are stored inside trailers or buildings, or nailed down so that wind or storm events do not move them from their storage locations. · Worksheet 11 -BMPs, Stabilization Practices Part Ill, Sect. F.2.b.(i),(iii) The SWP3 must include a description of interim and permanent stabilization practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be implemented. Site plans should ensure that existing vegetation is preserved where possible. Examples of stabilization practices are listed in the Construction General Permit in Part III Sect. F.2.b.i and are listed on Worksheet 11. To complete the table on Worksheet 11, use the examples listed, or any other BMPs you are planning on using that may prove to be effective in stabilizing the soil to minimize erosion. Worksheet 12 -Major Grading Activities and Construction Stoppage Part Ill, Sect. F.2.b.ii.(a)-©) You must keep records ·to document: • • • dates when major grading activities will occur; dates when construction activity will temporarily or permanently cease on the site; and dates when stabilization measures are initiated . You may keep these records in your SWP3, or you may attach them or list their location. If you attach the records, answer ''yes " to ''Documentation attached?" and then list the section of the SWP3 where they are attached. If you keep the records at another location, give that location and the name and telephone number of a contact person there. Remember that the records must be readily available if state or local authorities ask for them. If you decide to keep the records in your SWP3, you may use the tables on Worksheet 12 to do so. Use the first table to list all major grading activities, and where and when they will take place. Use the second table to list areas where construction is not taking place. If you permanently cease construction for a location, give a date when final stabilization was or will be initiated. Make sure to provide this information for all activities on-site. Use additional copies of this form if you need them. Worksheet 13 -Structural Control Practices Part IIL Sect. F.3.(a)-(b) The SWP3 must include a description of any structural control practices used to divert flows away from exposed soils, to limit the contact of runoff with disturbed areas, or to lessen the off-site transport of eroded soils. Indicate if your site will disturb 10 acres or more at any one time. If it will, is it feasible to install a sediment basin? Calculate the volume of a 2-year 24-hour storm event. This is the volume of water that your sedimentation basin must hold In the first table, state which factors were used to help you decide whether a sedimentation basin would be feasible. You must consider at least all of the factors listed in the table. If a sedimentation basin is not feasible, use the second table to list the controls that will be used instead of the basin. Remember that these controls must be at least as effective as a basin. The table lists some examples of alternative controls, but you may write others in. Use additional copies of this form if you do not have enough room to list all of your controls. Worksheet 14 -Permanent Storm Water Controls Part !IL Sect. F.4 A description of any measures that will be installed during the project to control pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction operations have been competed must be included in the SWP3. Use the table on Worksheet 14 to list any permanent controls that will be constructed during the project. For each control, give the location on-site, and describe the area(s) that the control will be receiving runoff from (i.e., road ways, parking lot, community park, landscaping, undisturbed areas). Permittees are only responsible for the installation and maintenance of storm water management measures prior to final stabilization of the site, the transfer of authority to another registered operator (or home owner in the case of residential construction), or prior to the submission of a Notice of Termination (NOT). Worksheet 15 -Other Storm Water Controls Part !IL Sect. F.5.(a)-(b) Other controls need to be incorporated into the SWP3 to control certain pollutants, such as off-site transfer of sediment and dust generation. Use the first table on Worksheet 15 to describe how you will control the off-site tracking of sediment at site entrances and exits, as well as any BMPs used to minimize on-site dust generation throughout the work day. Use the second table on Worksheet 15 to list the construction and waste materials that will be stored on-site. List the average amount stored, give the on-site storage location, and describe the controls that will be used to reduce pollutants from these materials. Worksheet 16 -Other Storm Water Controls (cont'd) Part !IL Sect. F.5.(c)-(d) The SWP3 must include a description of pollutant sources from areas other than construction (including storm water discharges from dedicated asphalt plants and dedicate concrete plants), and a description of controls and measures that will be implemented at those sites to minimize pollutant discharges. Use the first table on Worksheet 16 to list non-construction pollutant sources that may be associated with your project. (Asphalt plant and concrete plant have been listed as examples.) List the pollutants that may be discharged from the site and describe any controls that have been put in place to controls those pollutants. Use the second table on Worksheet 16 to list the velocity dissipation devices used along and at the end of any outfall channel. Describe where the water discharges to and give the outfall number or distance interval where the device is located. Examples of velocity dissipation devices include hay bales, silt fences , and stone outlet sediment traps. Worksheet 17a. 17b. and 18 -Inspection of Controls Forms Part !IL Sect. F.8 Inspections must be conducted at least once every 7 calendar days OR once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of the end of a storm event of a Yi inch or greater. If the inspections occur every 7 days, they must be conducted the same day every week regardless of rainfall events. Personnel provided by the permittee and familiar with the SWP3 must inspect: • disturbed areas of the construction site that have not been finally stabilized; • areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation; • and structural controls (for evidence of: or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage system); • sediment and erosion control measures identified in the SWP3 (to ensure they are operating correctly); and • locations where vehicles enter or exit the site (for evidence of off-site sediment tracking). You may use Worksheets 17a -18 to document the inspections required by the TPDES CGP permit. Use Worksheet l 7a and 17b as a checklist to ensure that all required areas of the construction site are addressed. There is space to document the inspector's name as well as when the inspections regularly take place. The tables will document that the required area was inspected. (If there were any areas of concern, briefly describe them in this space with a more detailed description in the narrative section on Worksheet 18). Use the last table on Worksheet 17a to document any discharges found during the inspections. Use Worksheet 17b to describe how effective the installed BMPs are performing. Describe any BMP failures that were noted during the investigation and describe any maintenance required due to the failure. If new BMPs are needed as the construction site changes, the inspector can use the space at the bottom of the worksheet to list BMPs to be implemented before the next inspection. Use Worksheet 18 to describe the inspectors qualifications, how the inspection was conducted, and describe any areas of non-compliance with the TPDES permit ~ detail. If an inspection report does not identify any incidents of non-compliance, then it must contain a certifying signature stating that the facility or site is in compliance with the SWP3 and the TPDES permit. The report must be signed by a person and in a manner required by 30 TAC§ 305.128. There is a line at the bottom of Worksheet 18 to allow for this certifying signature. Whenever an inspection shows that BMP modifications are needed to better control pollutants in runoff: the changes must be completed within 7 calendar days following the inspection. If existing BMPs are modified or if additional BMPs are needed, you must describe your implementation schedule in the SWP3, and wherever possible, make the required BMP changes before the next storm event. Worksheet 19 -Eligible Non-Storm Water Discharges Part !IL Sect. F.9 The SWP3 must identify and ensure the implementation of appropriate pollution prevention measures for all eligible non-storm water components of the discharge. In the first table on Worksheet 19, indicate any of the approved non-storm water discharges that may apply to your site, how you will prevent pollution from these discharges, and when the pollution control measures will be in place. You will find a list of eligible non-storm water discharges in Part II.3.(a)-(g) of the TPDES permit as well as · the table on Worksheet 19. Examples of pollution control measures may include having a dedicated area for vehicle washing, or minimizing runoff of water used for dust control. Finally, use the last table to list any other non-storm water discharges that ~e permitted by another TPDES permit, an NPDES permit, or any other TCEQ permit, including a land application pennit for waste water. Read the TPDES permit throughly to ensure you are meeting all requirements for your specific construction project. You may need to include additional materials not covered within these worksheets including a copy of the actual permit, a copy of the NOi (if you are required to submit one), and all sampling information from concrete batch plants. Feel free to modify any or all of these worksheets to meet your needs. If further clarification or assistance is needed to develop your SWP3, please contact your regional TCEQ Small Business and Local Government Assistance representative or the SBLGA Hotline at 1-800-447-2827.
