NARRATIVE
INTRODUCTION
The project site is a rectangular shaped tract of approximately 12.466 acres located in
College Station, Texas, lying west of the intersection of State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie
and described as Lot 1, Block Two of L.O. Ball Memorial Subdivision Phase II. The project
includes construction of underground utilities, parking facilities, and a grocery store .
A storm water management system will be constructed to manage runoff from the proposed
facility and area draining through or across the project site. In addition to the parking and
storm water management facilities, landscaping will be added in accordance with local
requirements to mitigate any adverse affects produced by the development and enhance the
aesthetic appeal of the area.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is currently vacant. The site is bordered to the north by Rock Prairie Road, to the
west by Longmire Drive (Proposed), the east by State Highway 6 and the south by
Birmingham Street. The entire site is clear and covered wild grasses.
The soil type is described as firm clayey/silty sand and sandy silt from 0-2 feet below grade
by the Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Kenneth E. Tand & Associates, Inc.
The property is included in the drainage design for State Highway No . 6 as part of
Drainage Area No. 1-A and 1-D. The Drainage Area Map for TxDOT Project No F4 71 (32)
indicates that the existing drainage system was designed to accommodate a discharge rate
of 83 cfs from Drainage Area No. 1-D (see Appendix).
The site currently drains to the southwest towards Birmingham and SH 6 . The site currently
drains via sheet flow to the Birmingham Street and across the S.H. 6 frontage road into the
existing drainage ditch. The TxDOT drainage system eventually discharges to Lick Creek.
PROPOSED CONDITIONS
The project includes construction of a stormwater management system to manage storm
water runoff from the proposed facility . The site will be graded to direct the runoff generated
by the proposed development to an internal site drainage system connected to on site
detention ponds. The proposed on-site drainage system will improve the existing conditions
by providing on site detention, limiting the discharge rate and providing a dedicated
conveyance system to route the flow under the frontage road .
The on site drainage system is designed to provide a detention storage volume of 1.74
\\C AD_SERVER\WORK\WORK\98-057 -00 \DRAINAGE REPT .DOC
acre-feet and a discharge rate of 29.08 c.f.s . The proposed discharge rate (29.08 c.f.s .)
is less than half of the allowable discharge rate (83 c.f.s.) for this site.
During construction, measures will be taken to control erosion and sedimentation in
accordance with the requirements of the current NPDES permit. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and Best Management Practices report include detailed instructions to the
contractor in this regard.

NARRATIVE
GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Location. The site is bordered to the north by Rock Prairie Road, to the west by Longmire
Drive, the east by State Highway 6 and the south by Birmingham Street. No public streets
are proposed within the development. The primary drainage system drainageway appear
to be North Fork Lick Creek as indicated on Figure 11-3 of the Stormwater Management Plan
for the City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards (Drainage Policy). The
only development immediately adjacent to the site is an existing bank located at the
southwest corner of Rock Prairie and SH 6 .
Description of Property. The subject property consists of approximately 12.4 7 acres. The
existing land cover is grass. The existing drainageway within the property is sheet flow to
the Birmingham and SH 6 rights of way. The general project description is:
The construction of a shopping center to include a grocery store, retail and restaurant
facilities; construction of a concrete parking lot; construction of a storm water
management system to manage and convey storm water runoff from the proposed
facilities; construction of a public water line and the construction of a private sanitary
sewer line. In addition, landscaping will be added in accordance with local
requirements to mitigate any adverse affects produced by the development and
enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area.
DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
Primary Basin Description. The site appears to be included within the boundary of the Lick
Creek and Minor Tributaries basin as indicated on Figure 11-3 of the Drainage Policy . The
site appears to be located within the boundary of F.l.R. M. Panel No. 48041 C0205C. The
property is included in the drainage design for State Highway No. 6 as part of Drainage
Area No. 1-A and 1-D. The Drainage Area Map for TxDOT Project No F4 71 (32) indicates
that the existing drainage system was designed to accommodate a discharge rate of 83
cfs from Drainage Area No. 1-D (see Appendix).
Secondary Drainage Description. The offsite drainage flows south to North Fork Lick
Creek through the existing drainage system for SH 6. The proposed development should
have no impact on existing pathways to the Primary Drainage System since the proposed
peak discharge rate is less than the design discharge rate as indicated on the Drainage
Area Map for TxDOT Project No F471 (32).
DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
Regulations. The drainage design is based on rational formula in accordance with Section
111.B. of the Drainage Policy.
Development Criteria Reference and Constraints . A previous drainage study was
prepared to design the drainage system for SH 6 and established an allowable discharge
\\CAD_SERVER\WORK\WORK\98-057-00\DRAINAGE REPT (REVISED 8-2.6-99).DOC
rate of 83 cfs for the subject property using a c factor of 0.8. The drainage impact on the
adjacent streets should be improved since the development will provide a dedicated
conveyance system under the SH 6 frontage road in lieu of the existing sheet flow over the
road.
Hydrological Criteria. The storm sewer des ign is based on the rational method using the
rainfall criteria as established by Weather Bureau (NWS) Technical Paper No. 40 for the
2 , 5, 1 O 25 , 50 and 100 year design storms using a c factor of 0.9 . The actual c factor for
the site is 0.82 , comparable to that used in the TxDOT analys is .
Hydraul ic Criteria . The capacity of the on site detention facilities provided for the project
approximately 75, 635 c.f. The storm water management system is designed to provide
incidental detention in the parking area and in the detention areas located adjacent to
Birmingham to accommodate the portion of the site , if any , that was not included in the
original drainage design for SH 6.
DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
General Concept. The drainage concept is consistent with the Drainage Policy, which
states "The policy of the city is to encourage the rapid conveyance of stormwater through
and out of the City within the primary system ." The site currently discharges via sheet flow
over the adjacent roadways and into the SH6 drainage system . The installation of internal
site drainage, detention facilities and a dedicated outfall structure will improve the existing
drainage conditions . The anticipated drainage pattern will be sheet flow to the inlets
proposed for the site, conduit flow through the site and under the SH 6 frontage road to the
existing TxDOT drainage system and eventually to North Fork Lick Creek.
Specific Details . The drainage problem encountered is the existing sheet flow over the
adjacent roadways causing hazardous driving conditions to motorists in the TxDOT and
City of College Station rights-of-ways. The solution to this problem is to design a dedicated
conveyance system that will direct the stormwater runoff from the site under the adjacent
roadways thereby reducing the possibility of high water in the roadway during extreme
rainfall events that subsequently cause traffic hazards in the TxDOT and the City of
College Station rights-of-ways.
CONCLUSIONS
Compliance with Design Standards . The drainage concept is consistent with the Drainage
Policy, which states "The policy of the city is to encourage the rapid conveyance of
stormwater through and out of the City within the primary system ."
Effect iveness of drainage design to control damage from stormwater flows. The proposed
drainage design will better control damage to the adjacent roadways than the existing
situation by routing the stormwater under the roadway. The proposed drainage design will
also control damage to the outfall ditch since the proposed discharge rate is significantly
lower than the allowable .
\\CAD_SERVER\WORK\WORK\98-057-00\DRAINAGE REPT (REVISED 8-26-99).DOC
Explanation of the effectiveness of existing and proposed improvements with regard to
controlling the discharges of the 100 year storm with ultimate development conditions of the
secondary system basins affected by the proposed development. The existing conditions
are very ineffective since the 100 year storm merely sheet flows across the adjacent
roadways and causing flooding. The proposed system will route the runoff generated by the
100 year storm under the roadway at a rate less than that originally designed for.

NARRATIVE
GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Loca ti on . The site is bordered to the north by Rock Prairie Road , to the west by Longmire
Drive , the east by State Highway 6 and the south by Birmingham Street. No public streets
are proposed within the development. The primary drainage system drainageway is North
Fork Lick Creek as indicated on Figure 11-3 of the Stormwater Management Plan for the City
of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards (Drainage Policy). The only
development immediately adjacent to the site is an existing bank located at the southwest
comer of Rock Prairie and SH 6.
Description of Property. The subject property consists of approximately 12.4 7 acres . The
existing land cover is grass . The existing drainageway within the property is sheet flow to
the Birmingham and SH 6 rights of way. The general project description is:
The construction of a shopping center to indude a grocery store, retail and restaurant
facilities; construction of a concrete parking lot; construction of a storm water
management system to manage and convey storm water runoff from the proposed
facilities; construction of a public water line and the construction of a private sanitary
sewer line. In addition, landscaping will be added in accordance with local
requirements to mitigate any adverse affects produced by the development and
enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area.
DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
Primary Basin Description. The site is included within the boundary of the Lick Creek and
Minor Tributaries basin as indicated on Figure 11-3 of the Drainage Policy. The site is
located within the boundary of F.l.R. M. Panel No . 48041C0205C. The property is induded
in the drainage design for State Highway No . 6 as part of Drainage Area No. 1-A and 1-D.
The Drainage Area Map for TxDOT Project No F471(32) indicates that the existing
dra inage system was designed to accommodate a discharge rate of 83 cfs from Drainage
Area No. 1-D (see Appendix).
Secondary Drainage Description. The offsite dra inage flows south to North Fork Lick
Creek through the existing drainage system for SH 6. Based on the Primary Basin criteria
referenced above, the proposed development represents an allowable impact on existing
pathways to the Primary Drainage System. The on-site detention provided exceeds the
computed volume required by the pre-development and post-development hydrographs.
The proposed peak discharge rate is less than the design discharge rate indicated on the
Drainage Area Map for TxDOT Project No F4 71 (32).
DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
Regulations . The criteria for the drainage design was selected from Section Ill of the
Drainage Policy and includes : the rational formula (Section 111.B .), the Soil Conservation
Service Type II rainfall distribution (Section 111.C .3.) and the Triangular Approx imation
\\CAD _SE RVER \WORK\WORK\98-057-00 \DRAINAGE REPT (REVISED 9-21 -99).00C
hydrograph (Section 11 1.D).
Development Criteria Reference and Constraints. A previous drainage study was
prepared to design the drainage system for SH 6 and established an allowable discharge
rate of 83 cfs for the subject property using a C factor of 0.8. The sheetflow impact on the
adjacent streets is reduced since the development will provide a dedicated conveyance
system under the SH 6 frontage road in lieu of the existing sheet flow over the road . Even
though an allowable discharge rate has been established by TxDOT Project No F471(32),
the existing pre-developed peak discharge was calculated to be 40.36 cfs.
Hydrological Criteria . The pre-developed peak discharge was determined using the
rational method, a 100 year return period and TP No. 40 . Detention volumes were
estimated using a 1-hour design storm , a 24-hour design storm and the triangular
approximation hydrograph .
Hydraulic Criteria. The capacity of the on-site detention facilities provided for the project
is approximately 85,458 c.f. The storm water management system is designed to provide
detention in the parking area and in the detention areas located adjacent to Birmingham.
The storm sewer design is based on the rational method using the rainfall criteria as
established by Weather Bureau (NWS) Technical Paper No . 40 for the 2, 5; 1 O 25, 50 and
100 year design storms. A relationship was established between the design storm intensity
and the effective intensity to account for the on-site detention storage provided. The
effective intensity established by the design water surface elevation of the various on
pavement and in pond detention areas. The effective intensity was used to determine the
hydraulic gradient for the internal site drainage system .
Even though the peak discharge from the site is less than that originally designed for the
TxDOT system, the downstream structure at SH6 and North Fork Lick Creek was analyzed
for the ability to convey the additional discharge from the site. The increase to the
hydraulic gradient at the structure was calculated to be 0.0007 feet (see Downstream
Impact Calculations in the Appendix). Based on the calculations in the Appendix, the
impacts to the downstream system resulting from this development will be an increase of
0.0007 feet to the hydraulic gradient.
DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
General Concept. The drainage concept is consistent with the City of College Station
Drainage Policy and detention will be provided based on the triangular approximation
hydrograph method in accordance with Section 111 .2 . The site currently discharges via
sheet flow over the adjacent roadways and into the SH6 drainage system. The installation
of internal site drainage, detention facilities and a dedicated outfall structure will improve
the existing drainage conditions . The anticipated drainage pattern will be sheet flow to the
inlets and detention areas, conduit flow through the site and under the SH 6 frontage road
to the existing TxDOT drainage system .
Specific Details . The on-site detention system was designed in accordance with Sections
Ill and IX of the Drainage Policy . The detention storage volume was calculated using 3
\\CAD_SERVER\WORK\WORK\98-057-00\DRAINAGE REPT (REVISED 9-21-99).DOC
methods, the triangular approximation hydrograph, a 1-hour storm using the rational
formula and the IDF Curves, and a 24-hour storm using the Soil Conservation Service
Type II rainfall distribution. The results of the detention analysis are listed below .

The drainage problem encountered is the existing sheet flow over the adjacent roadways
causing hazardous driving conditions to motorists in the TxDOT and City of College Station
rights-of-ways. The solution to this problem is to design a dedicated internal collection
system that will convey the stormwater runoff from the site under the adjacent roadways,
thereby reducing the possibility of high water in the roadway during extreme rainfall events
that subsequently cause traffic hazards in the TxDOT and the City of College Station
rights-of-ways.
CONCLUSIONS
Compliance with Design Standards. The methods used in designing the drainage system
are consistent with the City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards.
Effectiveness of drainage design to control damage from stormwater flows. The proposed
drainage design will better control sheetflow impacts on the adjacent roadways, improving
the existing situation by routing the stormwater under the roadway and providing on-site
detention storage. The proposed drainage design will also control the impact on the outfall

Dear Mr. C!illoway:
Pursuant to Mr. Jeff Tondre's request for additional information regarding the drainage design for the
referenced project, we offer the following to better darify the design theory:
• The theoretical water surface elevation (see column labeled "'Hydraulic Gradient
Upstream· for the 2·year storm) was calculated using Manning·s equation . The computed
water surface elevations should be compared to the seal point elevations shown in the
"'Notes" column . A theoretical water surface elevation which exceeds the corresponding
top of grate elevation (shown in the ·Notes" column) ind icates on-pavement ponding (i.e.
stormwater detention).
• As indicated in the previously submitted September 1999 Drainage Report, the rainfall
intensity was modified to account for this on-site detention by :teratlng interi~ity values until
the hydraulic grade line corres:,onded with actual design conditions (i.e ., water surface
elevation to match seal point i11 pavement.) The peak discharge was determined using
Mann ing's equation and the mcdified intensity value .
• The required detention volume was calculated using the methods outlined in the City of
College Station Design Manual, as documented in the previously submitted report . As
indicated therein, the actual volume of detentioo provided exceeds this required detention
amount.
We appreciate you help in securing the City's approval. Please call me if you have any questions .
Sincerely,
COBOURN LINSEISEN & RATCLIFF, INC.

CONTROLS:
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS:
Major erosion and sediment controls are shown on the Site Plan .
Stabilization Practices
1. Construction road access will be stabilized using coarse aggregate.
2 . The parking lot construction phase is expected to begin within 2 weeks after utilities
are completed. If the interim period between the phases is more than 21 days , the
parking area will be hydro-mulched within 14 days.
3. Newly graded areas will have textured soil surfaces to reduce sheet flow and
improve surface water impoundment.
Structural Practices
1. Filter fabric fences will be used around any temporary earth stockpiles while they
are in use.
2. Straw bales will be placed on either side of existing and proposed inlets in
completed parking lots to trap sediment that escapes filter fabric fences. The straw
bales will be removed after final stabilization of the site.
3 . Filter fabric fences will be placed along the property lines of all disturbed areas not
under immediate construction .
F:\WORK\99-057-00\DOCUMENTATION\ENGINEERING\ORG-REPT.PPP.DOC
SEQUENCE OF MAJOR EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL ACTIVITIES:
PHASE I:
Filter fabric fences, straw bale fences, silt fence inlet protection, and stabilized construction
entrance area will be installed . Utility construction, including storm sewers, sanitary sewers ,
water lines and dry utilities, will occur. Any temporary earth stockpile and filter fabric
fencing will be set up at the commencement of excavation .
PHASE II :
Silt fence inlet protection and straw bale inlet protection will be installed. Stabilization of
parking lot subgrade, building construction, paving of parking and access areas will occur .
PHASE Ill :
Final site grading and hydromulch seeding of all disturbed areas will occur. When
construction activity is complete and the site is stabilized , structural controls will be
removed and soils disturbed by their removal will be reseeded.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT:
Storm water from the newly graded area will discharge by overland flow to the new storm
sewer system, then into an existing storm sewer system . There is no need for velocity
dissipation devices.
OTHER CONTROLS:
WAS T E DISPOSAL :
Waste Materials -All trash and construction debris from the site will be hauled to an
approved landfill. No construction waste materials will be buried onsite . All personnel will
be instructed regarding the correct procedure for waste disposal.
Hazardous Waste -No hazardous waste is expected to be generated or encountered in
this project. In the event that hazardous waste is encountered, all hazardous waste
material will be disposed of in the manner specified by local or state regulation or by the
manufacturer.
Sanitary Waste -All sanitary waste will be regularly collected from the portable units by a
licensed sanitary waste management contractor.
OFFSITE VEHICLE TRACKING :
A stab ilized construction entrance has been provided to help reduce vehicle tracking of
sediments .
The paved streets adjacent to the site entrance will be cleaned daily, if necessary, to
remove any excess mud, dirt or rock tracked from the site.
F:\WORK\9 9-057-00 \DOCUMENTAT ION I ENGINEERING\ORG-REPT.PPP .DOC
DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH STATE AND LOCAL REGULAT IONS :
The proposed project will be in compliance with applicable state and local waste disposal
and sanitary sewer regulations.
MAINTENANCE :
The following is a list of erosion and sediment controls to be used on th is project. Maintain
existing controls along adjacent existing streets .
Stabilization Practices
1. Stabilization of construction access.
2 . Hydromulch seeding .
Structural Pract ices
1 . Filter fabric fences.
2. Straw bale on either side of existing and proposed inlets.
To maintain the above practices, the following will be performed :
1. Ma i ntenance and repairs will be conducted within 24 hours of inspection report .
2 . Sediment will be removed from behind the sediment fences when it becomes about
1/3 the height of the fence.
INSPECTIONS:
The contractor will designate a qualified person or persons to perform the following
inspections:
Disturbed areas and areas used for storage of materials that are exposed to precipitation
will be inspected for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the drainage
system .
Erosion and sediment control measures identified in the plan will be observed to ensure
that they are operating correctly.
Where discharge locations or points are accessible , they will be inspected to ascertain
whether erosion control measures are effective in preventing significant impacts to
receiving waters.
Locations where vehicles enter or exit the site will be inspected for evidence of offs ite
sediment tracking .
The inspection will be conducted by the responsible person at least once every 7 calendar
days and within 24 hours after a storm of 0.5 inch or greater.
After a portion of the site is finally stabilized, inspection will be conducted at least once
every month .
F:IWORK\99-057-00\DOCUMENTATION \ENGINEERING\ORG-REPT.PPP .DOC

I. Introduction
The United States En v ironmental
Protection Agency Reg ion 6 office is
rei ssuing the general permits which
authorizes the discharge storm water
associated with construction activity . As
us ed in this permit. "storm water
associated with construction activity"
means construction activity disturbing
at least five acres. or construction
ac tivity disturbing less than five acres
w hich is part of a larger common plan
of development or sale with the
potential to disturb cumulatively five or
more acres (See 40 CFR
l 22 .26(b) (l 4)(x)).
These permits replace the previous
Baseline Construction General Permits
which were issued for a five-year term
in September 1992 . The most significant
changes from the 1992 permits are :
...... New conditions to protect listed
endangered and threatened species and
critical habitats ;
...... Expanded coverage to
construction sites under five acres of
disturbed land which are not part of a
larger common plan of development or
sale when an operator has been
designated by the Director to obtain
coverage .
...... A requirement to post at the
construction site the confirmation of
permit coverage (the permit number or
copy of the Notice of Intent (NOD if a
permit number has not yet been
assigned) including a brief description
of the project;
...... Storm water pollution prevention
plan performance objectives have been
added.
These general permits for storm water
discharges associated with construction
activity was proposed on June 2, 1997
(62 FR 29786). and are hereby issued for
the following areas in Region 6 : The
States of New Mexico and Texas; Indian
Country lands in Louisiana. Oklahoma.
Texas and New Mexico (except Navajo
Reservation Lands and Ute Mountain
Reservation Lands); and oil and gas
c onstruction in the State of Oklahoma.
II. Answers to Common Questions
In this section. EPA provides answers
to some of the more common questions
on the construction storm water
permitting program . These answers are
fa irly broad and may not take into
ac count all scenarios possible at
construction sites. More details on these
issues are provided at 63 FR 7858
(Fe brua ry 17. 1998) in the "Summa ry of
Responses to Co mm e nt s on the
Proposed Pe rm it " s ect ion of th e
re issuance of NPDES Ge n e ral Permits
From Cons t ru ct ion Acti v ities for
Regions I. 2. 3 . 7 . 8 . 9 and 10.
How do I Kn ow if I Need a Permit?
You need a s torm water permit if y ou
can be conside red an "operator" of the
construction activ ity that would result
in the "discharge of storm water
associated with construction activity ."
You must become a permittee if you
meet either of the following two criteria :
...... You ha ve operational control of
construction project plans and
specifications . including the ability to
make modifications to t hose plans and
specifications: or
...... You have day -to -day operational
control of those activities at a project
which are necessary to ensure
compliance w ith a storm water
pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for
the site or other permit conditions (e .g ..
you are authorized to direct workers at
a site to carry out activities required by
the SWPPP or comply with other permit
conditions).
There may be more than one party at
a site performing the tasks relating to
"operational control " as defined above .
Depending on the site and the
relationship between the parties (e .g ..
owner, developer). there can either be a
single party acting as site operator and
consequently be responsible for
obtaining permit coverage, or there can
be two or more operators with all
needing permit coverage . The following
are three general operator scenarios
(variations on any of the three are
possible as the number of "owners" and
contractors increases):
...... Owner as Sole Permittee. The
property owner designs the structures
for the site. develops and implements
the SWPPP. and serves as general
contractor (or has an on-site
representative with full authority to
direct day-to-day operations). He may be
the only party that needs a permit. in
which case everyone else on the site
may be considered subcontractors and
not need permit coverage .
...... Contractor as Sole Permittee. The
property owner hires a construction
company to design the project . prepare
the SWPPP . and supervise
implementation of the plan and
compliance with the permit (e.g .. a
"turnkey" project). Here. the contractor
would be the only party needing a
permit. It is under this scenario that an
individual having a personal residence
built for his own use (e.g .. not those to
be sold for profit or used as rental
property) would not be considered an
Federal Register I Vol. 63. No . 128 I Monday. July 6. 1998 /No tices 36491
operator . EPA believes that the general
contracto r. being a professional in the
building industry. should be the entity
rather than the individual who is better
equi pped to meet the requirements of
both applying for permit coverage and
developing and properly implementing
a SWPPP. However. individuals would
meet the definition of "operator" and
require permit coverage in instances
where they perform general contracting
duties for construction of their personal
residences.
..... Owner and Contractor as Co-
Permittees. The owner retains control
over any changes to site plans. SWPPPs.
or storm water conveyance or control
designs; but the contractor is
responsible for overseeing actual earth
disturbing activities and daily
implementation of SWPPP and other
permit conditions. In this case. both
parties may need coverage .
However. you are probably not an
operator and subsequently do not need
permit coverage if:
..... You are a subcontractor hired by.
and under the supervision of. the owner
or a general contractor (i.e .. if the
contractor directs your activities on-site .
you probably are not an operator); or
..... your activities on site result in
earth disturbance and you are not
legally a subcontractor , but a SWPPP
specifically identifies someone other
than you (or your subcontractor) as the
party having operational control to
address the impacts your activities may
have on storm water quality (i.e ..
another operator has assumed
responsibility for the impacts of your
construction activities). This particular
provision will apply to most utility
service line installations. For further
information concerning whether utility
service line installations meet the
definition of operator and require
permit coverage. see the discussion
under "Installation of Utility Service
Lines" in Section VIII . Summary
Response to Public Comments of the
Fact Sheet.
In addition. for purposes of this
permit and determining who is an
operator. "owner" refers to the party
that owns the structure being built.
Ownership of the land where
construction is occurring does not
necessarily imply the property owner is
an operator (e .g .. a landowner whose
property is being disturbed by
construction of a gas pipeline).
Likewise. if the erection of a structure
has been contracted for, but possession
of the title or lease to the land or
structure is not to occur until after
construction, the .would -be owner may
not be considered an operator (e.g ..
having a house built by a residential
homebuilder).
My Projec t Will Disturb Less Than Fi ve
Acres. but it May Be Part of a "Larger
Common Pl an 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 (i ncluding 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 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 original
common plan of development was more
than five acres, a permit would be
needed.
When Can You Consider Future
Construction on a Property To Be Part
of 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. an y subsequent develop ment or
redevelopment of that parcel would be
rega rded as a new plan o f development.
and would then be subject to the fi ve-
acre c utoff for storm water permitting .
What Must I do to Satisfy The Permit
Eligibility Requirements Related to
Endangered Species?
In order to be eligible for this permit,
yo u must follow the procedures and
examples found in Addendum A for the
protection of endangered species. You
cannot submit your NO! until yo u are
able to certify your eligibility for the
permit. Enough lead time should be
built into your project schedule to
accomplish these procedures. If another
operator has certified eligibility for the
project (or at least the portion of the
project you will be working on) in his
NOL you will usually be able to rely on
his certification of project eligibility and
not have to repeat the process . EPA
created this "coat tail" eligibility option
for protection of endangered species to
allow the site developer/owner to obtain
up-front "clea rance " for a project.
thereby avoiding duplication of effort by
his contractors and unnecessary delays
in construction .
What Does the Permit Require
Regarding Historic Preservation?
Today's permit does not currently
impose requirements related to historic
preservation. though EPA may modify
the permit at a later date after further
discussions with the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation. Therefore.
under today's permit. EPA will conduct
consultations as it did under the pre-
existing Baseline Construction General
Permit on a case-by-case basis as
needed . Removal of the proposed permit
provisions related to historic
preservation in no way relieves
applicants and permittees of their
obligations to comply with applicable
State. Tribal or local laws for the
preservation of historic properties . EPA
reminds permittees that according to
section l lO(k) of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA). an intentional
action to significantly adversely affect
historic resources with intent to avoid
Federal historic preservation
requirements may jeopardize future
permit coverage for such a permittee.
How Many Notices of Intent (NO!s) Must
I Submit? Where and When Are They
Sent?
You only need to submit one NO! to
cover all activities on any one common
plan of development or sale . The site
map y ou develop for the storm water
pollution prevention plan identifies
which parts of the overall project are
36492 Federal Reg is ter /Vol. 6 3 . No . 128 /Mo nday . Ju ly 6. 1998 /i\o t ices
unde r yo ur control. Fo r ex ample . if yo u
a re a homebuilder in a re s idential
d evelopment. y ou need s ubmit only o ne
NOi to cover all y o ur lo ts . e ven if they
a re on opposite sides of th e
development.
The NOi must be po s tmarked two
day s before you begin w ork on site. The
address for submitting NOis is found in
the instruction portion o f the NO! form
and in Part II .C. of the CGP . You must
also look in Part X of the permit to
determine if copies of the NOI form are
to be sent to a State or Indian Tribe.
If I Am on an ongoing Construction
Project, do I Have to Fill in a New NOI
To Be Covered by the Permit?
Yes . if you are on an ongoing
construction project, a construction
project which started prior to the
effective date of this permit. you must
complete a revised NOI Form (EPA
Form 3510-9) to obtain coverage under
this permit. However , applicants who
have previously submitted an NO! for
permit coverage prior to the effective
date of this permit have the option to
leave the section regarding Addendum
A on endangered species blank unless
there is a potential impact on
endangered species or their habitat.
How do I Know Which Permit
Conditions Apply to Me?
You are responsible for complying
with all parts of the permit that are
applicable to the construction activities
you perform . Part Ill .E. of the permit
defines the roles of various operators at
a site . In addition. several States and
Indian Tribes require alternative or
additional permit conditions. and these
can be found in Part X of the permit.
Do I Have Flexibility in Preparing the
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and Selecting Best
Management Practices (BMPs) for My
Site?
Storm water pollution prevention
plan requirements were designed to
allow maximum flexibility to develop
the needed storm water controls based
on the specifics of the site . Some of the
factors you might consider include:
more stringent local development
requirements and/or building codes ;
precipitation patterns for the area at the
time the project will be underway; soil
types ; slopes; layout of structures for the
site; sensitivity of nearby water bodies ;
safety concerns of the storm water
controls (e.g .. potential hazards of water
in storm water retention ponds to the
safety of children; the potential of
drawing birds to retention ponds and
the hazards they pose to aircraft); and
coordination with other site operators .
Must Every Permittee Have His Own
Separate SWPPP or Is a joint Plan
Allowed?
The only require me nt is that there be
at least one SWPPP for a site whi c h
incorporates the requ ired elements fo r
all operators . but there can be separa te
plans if individual permittees so des ir e .
EPA encourages permittees to explore
possible cost sa vings by having a join t
SWPPP for several operators . For
example , the prime developer could
assume the inspection responsibilities
for the entire site , while each
homebuilder shares in the installation
a nd maintenance of sediment traps
serving common areas .
If a Project Will Not Be Completed
Before This Permit Expires. How Can I
Keep Permit Coverage ?
If the permit is reissued or replaced
with a new one before the current one
ex pires. you will need to comply with
whatever conditions the new permit
requires in order to transition coverage
from the old permit. This usually
includes submitting a new NO!. If the
permit expires before a replacement
permit can be issued. the permit will be
administratively "continued." You are
a utomatically covered under the
continued permit. without needing to
submit anything to EPA. until the
earliest of:
..... The permit being reissued or
replaced;
..... Submittal of a Notice of
Termination (NOT);
..... Issuance of an individual permit
for your activity; or
..... The Director issues a formal
decision not to reissue the permit, at
which time you must seek coverage
under an alternative permit.
When Can I Terminate Permit Coverage?
Can I Terminate Coverage (i .e., Liability
for Permit Compliance) Before the Entire
Project Is Finished?
You can submit an NOT for your
portion of a site providing: (1) You have
ac hieved final stabilization of the
portion of the site for which you are a
permittee (including . if applicable.
returning agricultural land to its pre-
construction agricultural use); (2)
a nother operator/permittee has assumed
control according to Part VI.G .2.c . of the
permit over all areas of the site that have
not been finally stabilized which you
were responsible for (for example, a
developer can pass permit responsibility
for lots in a subdivision to the
homebuilder who purchases those lots .
providing the homebuilder has filed his
. own NOi); or (3) for residential
construction only . you have completed
te mpo ra ry s ta b il ization and th e
re sidence has been trans fe rred to the
ho me ow ner .
III . Section 40 l Certification and
Coastal Zone Management Act
Section 40 I of the Clean Water Act
states that EPA may not issue an NPDES
permit until the State in which the
discharge will originate grants or waives
ce rtification to ensure compliance with
appropriate requirements of the Act and
State law . The Region has received
section 40 I ce rtification from the
a ppropriate States and Indian Tribes for
all facilities covered by today 's permits .
Additional permit requirements were
required as a condition of certification
by the State of Texas and by the Pueblos
of lsleta . Nambe . Picuris , Pojoaque.
Sandia. Tesuque and Santa Clara in
New Mexico. These additional permit
requirements are contained in Part X of
the permits .
The Coastal Zone Management Act
(CZMA) requires all Federal permitting
actions to be reviewed for consistency
with each approved State Coastal Zone
Management Plan . Texas is the only
State covered by these permits that has
an approved Coastal Zone Management
Plan . EPA Region 6 has determined that
the permit is consistent with the Texas
Coastal Zone Management Plan. The
Texas Coastal Zone Management Plan
procedures for Federal consistency with
Coastal Management Program goals and
policies (31 TAC 506 .12) state that if an
activity requiring a state agency or
subdivision action above thresholds
requires an equivalent Federal permit.
the Texas Coastal Coordination Council
may determine the consistency of the
state agency/subdivision action or the
Federal permit, but not both. Permittees
whose construction projects are located
within the boundary of the Texas
Coastal Management Program above
thresholds will be required, as a part of
pre-construction project approval. to
have a consistency review by the Texas
Council. An additional consistency
review by the Texas Coastal
Coordination Council of the storm water
discharges from these construction
projects covered by today's permit is .
therefore. not required .
IV. Endangered Species Protection
A Background
The Construction General Permit
(CGP) also contains conditions to ensure
the activities regulated by it are
protective of species that are listed
under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) as endangered or threatened
(known as "listed species"). and listed
species habitat that is designated under
Federal Register /Vol. 63. No. 128 /Monday. Ju ly 6. 1998/i'iorices 36493
the ESA as critic al ("critical habitat "). In
addition. the permit's coverage does not
extend to discharges and discharge-
rela ted activities likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of species proposed
but not yet listed as endangered or
threatened or result in the adverse
modification of habitat proposed to be
designated critical habitat .
The ESA places several different
requirements on activities covered by
the CGP. First. section 9 of the ESA and
the ESA implementing regulations
generally prohibit any person from ·
"taking " a listed animal species (e.g ..
harassi ng or harming it) unless the take
is authorized under the ESA. This
prohibition applies to all entities and
includes EPA. permit applicants.
permittees and the public at large .
Second, section 7 (a) (2) of the ESA
requires that Federal agencies consult
with the Fish and Wildlife Service
(FW S) or the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) ("the Services") to
insure that any action authorized.
funded or carried out by them (also
known as "agency actions") are not
likely to jeopardize the continued
exis tence of any listed species or result
in the destruction or adverse
modification of critical habitat.
Jeopardizing the continued existence of
a listed species means to engage in an
action that reasonably would be
expected, directly or indirectly. to
reduce appreciably the likelihood of
both the survival and recovery of a
listed species in the wild by reducing
the reproduction, numbers or
distribution of that species (See 40 CFR
402 .02).
The ESA section 7 implementing
regulations at 50 CFR 402 apply this
consultation requirement to any action
authorized by a Federal agency that may
affect listed species or critical habitat,
including permits . This effect, among
other things , can be beneficial,
detrimental, direct and indirect. The
issuance of the CGP by EPA is thus
subject to the ESA section 7 (a) (2)
consultation requirements . Finally. ESA
section 7(a)(l) directs Federal agencies
to use their authority to further the
purposes of the ESA by carrying out
programs for the conservation of listed
species. and section 7(a)(4) directs
Federal agencies to confer with the
Services on Agency actions likely to
jeopardize the existence of species
proposed but not yet finally listed or
result in the adverse modification of
critical habitat proposed to be
designated .
The ESA regulations provide for two
types of consultation: formal and
informal. Informal consultation ls an
optional process that includes
discussions. correspondence . etc.
between the Services and a Federal
agency or a designated non-Federal
representative (NFR) to determine
whether a Federal action is likely to
have an adverse effect on listed species
or critical habitat. During informal
consultation the Services may suggest
modifications to the action that a
Federal agency . permit applicant or
non-Federal representati ve could
implement to avoid likely adverse
effects to listed species or critical
habitat. If adverse effects are likely and
those effects cannot be addressed
through informal consultation . then
formal consultation generally occurs .
Also of relevance for the CGP are ESA
section 10 incidental taking permits .
Section 10 of the ESA allows persons ,
including non-Federal entities to
incidentally take listed animal species .
where otherwise prohibited. through the
issuance of a permit after development
of a habitat conservation plan (HC P).
These procedures were developed to
allow non-Federal entities such as
developers to, among other things. alter
habitat without incurring takings
liability where take is minimized to the
extent practicable .
B . Conditions in the June 2. 1997
Proposed Permit To Protect Species and
Critical Habitat
The CGP was proposed with a number
of conditions to ensure that storm water
discharges and best management
practices (BMPs) to control storm water
runoff were protective of listed species
or critical habitat. Specifically, coverage
under the proposed CGP would be
granted only under the following
circumstances:
1. An applicant's storm water
discharges or BMPs to control storm
water runoff were not likely to adversely
affect listed species (identified in
Addendum A of the permit) or critical
habitat ; or
2. The applicant's activity was
previously authorized under§ 7 or§ 10
of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
and that authorization addressed storm
water discharges and BMPs to control
storm water runoff; or
3. The applicant's activity was
considered as part of a larger , more
comprehensive assessment of impacts
on endangered and threatened species
under § 7 or § 10 of the ESA which
accounted for storm water discharges
and BMPs to control storm water runoff;
or
4. Consultation under§ 7 of the ESA
was conducted for the applicant's
activity which resulted in either a no
jeopardy opinion or a written
concurrence on a finding of no
likelihood of adverse effects : or
5 . The applicant 's acti v ity was
considered as part of a larger . more
comprehensive site-specific assessment
of impacts on endangered and
threatened species by the owner or other
operator of the site and that permittee
certified eligibility under items 1 .. 2., 3.
or 4. above .
The proposal required that applicants
assess the impacts of their "storm water
discharges " and "BMPs to control storm
water runoff ' on listed species and
critical habitat that are located "in
proximity " to the those discharges and
BMPs when developing Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) as
part of the application process. The
proposed CGP also required applicants
to include measures in SWPPPs to
protect listed species and critical
habitat. "In proximity" was defined in
Addendum A to include species:
~ Located in the path or immediate
area through which or over which
contaminated point source storm water
flows from construction activities to the
point of discharge into the receiving
water ;
~ Located in the immediate vicinity
of. or nearby. the point of discharge into
receiving waters; or
~ Located in the area of a site where
storm water BMPs are planned or are to
be constructed .
EPA also solicited comment on
whether the area or scope of impacts to
be considered by applicants should be
broadened to encompass listed species
found on the entire construction site
and not just those species found "in
proximity" as currently defined in
Addendum A.
Failure by permittees to abide by
measures in their SWPPPs to protect
species and critical habitat would
invalidate permit coverage. Attached to
the proposed permits were instructions
(Addendum A) to assist permit
applicants in making this inquiry. The
proposal indicated that a county-by-
county species list would be included in
Addendum A of the final permit to
assist applicants in determining if listed
species might be "in proximity" to
storm water discharges and BMPs. EPA
did not provide a draft species list in
proposed Addendum A. Instead . EPA
referred commenters to a similar species
list that was used for an earlier EPA-
issued storm water permit, the
Multisector Storm Water General
Permit, that was issued on September
29. 1995 (See62 FR29792, note 12.June
2 . 1997).

EPA term inated formal consultation and
ente red in to ESA section 7 informal
consul tation and confe rencing with the
Fish and Wildlife Servic e (FWS) and th e
National Fisheries Serv ic e Services
(NMFS ) on June 11. 1997 . On Novembe r
4. and 26 . 1997 . EPA completed ESA
informal consultation w hen NMFS and
FWS provided their respective
concurrences w ith EP A 's finding that
issuance of the CGP was not likely to
adversely affect listed spec ies or critical
habitat. However. the negotiations on
CGP d id not consider ongoing
construction projects : i.e .. construction
projects which started prior to the
effective date of these permits .
In January. 1998 . Region 6 decided to
address ESA certification issues for
ongoing construction projects before
finaliz ing the permit. In February. 1998 .
EPA Reg ion 6 began a supplemental
informal consultation w ith FWS and
NMFS on language to clarify
requirements for ongoing construction
activity . EPA Region 6 completed ESA
informal section 7 consultation and
conferencing when FWS and NMFS
provided their concurrences that
issuance of these permits is unlikely to
adversely affect listed species or critical
habitat on June 9, and 15 , respectively.
With the completion of these
consultations. EPA Region 6 has
reduced the administrative burden
associated with obtaining permit
coverage for ongoing construction
projects for the federal agencies and the
regulated community.
Based on that consultation and in
consideration of comments received on
the June 2 . 1997 . proposal. EPA has
placed the following conditions in the
permit to protect listed species and
critical habitat (See Part I.8 .3 .e).
Coverage under the CGP is available for
construction projects only if:
a . The storm water discharges and
storm water discharge-related activities
are not likely to adversely affect listed
species or critical habitat (Part
I.B .3 .e .(2)(a)): or
b . Formal or informal consultation
with the Services under section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been
concluded which addresses the effects
. of the applicant's storm water
discharges and storm w ater discharge-
related activities on listed species and
critical habitat and the consultation

Se rv ice(s) on a find ing t hat th e
a pplicant's storm water dis c harg es and
sto rm w ater discharge-re lat ed acti v it ies
are not likely to ad vers el y affect list ed
s pecies or critical hab it at. A s ection 7
co nsultation may occ ur in the contex t o f
another Federal on (e .g .. an ESA se c t ion
7 consultation w as performed for
iss uance of a wetlands dredge and fil l
p ermit for the project . or as part of a
National Environmental Policy Act
[N EPA] review): or
c . The applicant's construction
ac ti v ities are co vered by a permit under
s ec tion l 0 of the ESA and that perm it
ad dresses the effects of the applicant 's
storm water discharges and storm water
d ischarge-related activities on listed
species and critical habitat (Part
I.B .3 .e. (2) (c)); or
d . The applicant 's storm water
disc harges and storm water discharge-
related activities were already addressed
in another operator's certification of
eligibility under Part I.8 .3 .e . (Z)(a). (b ). or
(c) which included the applicant's
project area . By certify ing eligibility
under Part I.B .3 .e. (2) (d ). the applicant
agrees to comply with any measures or
controls upon which the other
operator's certification under Part
I.B .3.e .(2)(a). (b) or (c) was based .
The CGP requires that applicants
consider effects to listed species and
critical habitat when developing
SWPPPs and require that those plans
include measures, as appropriate, to
protect those re sources. Failure by
permittees to abide by measures in the
SWPPPs to protect species and critical
. habitat may invalidate permit coverage .
This permit requires all projects
commencing construction after the
effective date of this permit, to follow
the procedures provided in Addendum
A of the permit when applying for
permit coverage . The Director may also
require any existing permittee or
applicant to provide documentation of
eligibility for this permit using the
procedures in Addendum A. where EP A
or the Fish and Wildlife Services
determine that there is a potential
impaction on endangered or threatened
species or a critical habitat. Nothing in
the permit relieves applicants which are
under construction as of the effective
date of this permit of their obligations
they may have to comply with any
requirements of the Endangered Species
Act.
Addendum A contains instructions to
assist permit applicants in making this
inquiry . Those instructions require that
a pplicants ascertain: (1) If their
construction activities would occur in
critical habitat; (2) whether listed
s peci es are in the proj ect a rea : a nd (3)
w hether th e a p p li ca nt's s torm w ater
d isc harges and d isc ha rg e -r e la ted
ac ti v ities are like ly to adve rse ly affect
li s ted spec ie s o r critical habitat . If
adverse effec ts are lik e ly . th e n
a pplicants w ould have to meet on e of
the eligibil i ty requirements of Part
I.8 .3 e .(2){b)-(d) (paragraphs b .. c .. a nd
d . above) to rec eive permit coverage .
"Discharge-r e lated activities " include
activities which cause point source
storm water pollutant discharges
including but not limited to excavation .
site developm ent . and other surface
d isturbing activi t ies. and measures to
control . reduce or prevent storm water
pollution including the siting.
construction and operation of BMPs .
The "project area " includes:
1. Area(s) on the construction site
where storm water discharges originate
and flow towards the point of discharge
into the recei v ing waters (this includes
the entire area or areas where
excavation . site development, or other
ground disturbance activities occur).
and the immediate vicinity;
2. Area(s) where storm water
discharges flow from the construction
site to the point of discharge into
receiving waters :
3 . Area(s) where storm water from
construction activities discharges into
the receiving waters and the area(s) in
the immediate vicinity of the point of
discharge; and
4 . Area(s) where storm water BMPs
will be constructed and operated.
including any area(s) where storm water
flows to and from BMPs .
The project area will vary with the
size and structure of the construction
activity , the nature and quantity of the
storm water discharges. the measures
(including BMPs) to control storm water
runoff. and the type of receiving waters .
Addendum A also contains
information on where to find
information on listed and proposed
species organized by State and county to
assist applicants in determining if
further inquiry is necessary as to
w hether listed species are present in the
project area . Applicants can check the
Office of Wastewater Management's
w ebsite (http ://www.epa .gov /owm).
CGP applicants can also get updated
species information for their county by
calling the appropriate FWS or NMFS
office . EPA Region 6 applicants can also
contact the EPA Region 6 Storm Water
Hotline (1-800-245-6510) for updated
species information .
The CGP also requires that applicants
comply with any conditions imposed
under the eligibility requirements of
Part I.B .3.e . (2)a .. b .. c .. or d . above to
remain eligible for coverage under this
Federal Register I Vol. 63, No. 128 I Monday, July 6 , 1998 I Notices 36495
permit. Such conditions must be
incorporated in the applicant's SWPPP.
The CGP does not authorize any
prohibited take (as defined under
section 3 of the ESA and 50 CFR 17 .3)
of endangered or threatened species
unless such takes are authorized under
sections 7 or 10 of the ESA . The CGP
does not authorize any storm water
discharges or storm water discharge-
related activities that are likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
any species that are listed or proposed
to be listed as endangered or threatened
under the ESA or result in the adverse
modification or destruction of habitat
that is designated or proposed to be
designated as critical under the ESA .
It is EPA's intention to provide permit
applicants with the greatest possible
flexibility in meeting permit
requirements for protecting listed
species and critical habitat. Thus, EPA
is allowing applicants to use either
section 7 or section 10 ESA mechanisms
to address situations where adverse
effects are likely (See Part I.B.3.e.(2) (b)
and (c)). Also, to give applicants
additional flexibility in meeting the Part
I.B .3.e. eligibility requirements and with
the timing of informal consultations . the
permit automatically designates CGP
applicants as non-Federal
representatives for the purpose of
carrying out informal consultation.
However , EPA notes that meeting ESA
requirements raises difficult
implementation issues on how to best
ensure that the permits are protective of
listed species and critical habitats
without unduly burdening permit
applicants, permittees, and State, local,
and Federal governmental entities.
Thus, EPA intends in the future to
review those permit conditions and
procedures that relate to the ESA and
the protection of historic resources to
see how well that goal has been
achieved and may revise the permits if
necessary to better achieve that goal.
V. Historic Property Protection
A Background
The National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended , (NHPA)
establishes a national historic
preservation program for the
identification and protection of historic
properties and resources . Under the
NHPA. identification of historic
properties is coordinated by the State
Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs),
Tribal Historic Preservation Officers
(THPOs) or other Tribal Representatives
(in the absence of a THPO). Section 106
of the NHPA requires Federal agencies
to take into account the effects of their
actions on historic properties that are
listed or eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places and
to seek comments from the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation
(ACHP). The permit was proposed with
a number of conditions pertaining to the
consideration of historic properties .
EPA has decided to not include those
conditions because the ACHP and the
National Conference of State Historic
Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) have
requested that EPA not include such
conditions in the final permit at this
time . The ACHP and the NCSHPO have
recommended that EPA issue the permit
but recommend that EPA continue
working with them and Tribes regarding
the possible development of a more
comprehensive and efficient approach
to ensure that effects to historic
properties are given appropriate
consideration while ensuring undue
burdens are not imposed on applicants
and regulatory authorities. EPA plans to
continue working with the ACHP.
NCSHPO and Tribes on this effort and
may modify the permit to incorporate
procedures regarding the protection of
historic resources at a later date .
B. Future CG? Conditions To Protect or
Consider Effects to Historic Properties
In response to comments received on
the permit proposal and because the
Agency is still discussing historic
preservation with the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation (ACHP), the
final permit reserves permit
requirements related to historic
preservation . Today's final permit does
not include the eligibility restrictions
and evaluation requirements from the
proposed permit. After future
discussions with the ACHP, EPA may
modify the permit to reflect those
discussions .
VI. Regulatory Review (Executive Order
12866)
Under Executive Order 12866 , (58 FR
51735 [October 4 , 1993]) the Agency
must determine whether the regulatory
action is "significant" and therefore
subject to OMB review and the
requirements of the Executive Order.
The Order defines "significant
regulatory action " as one that is likely
to result in a rule that may have an
annual effect on the economy of $100
million or more or adversely affect in a
material way the economy, a sector of
the economy, productivity, competition ,
jobs . the environment, public health or
safety, or State, local or Tribal
governments or communities; create a
serious inconsistency or otherwise
interfere with an action taken or
planned by another agency ; materially
alter the budgetary impact of
entitle me nts. gra nts . use r fe es , or loan
programs or the ri ghts and obligations of
recipients there of; or rai s e novel legal or
policy issu es ari s ing out of legal
mandates . the Pres ident's prioritie s . or
the principles set forth in the Exe c uti ve
Order. It has been determine d that this
re -issued general p e rmit is not a
"significant regulatory action " under
the terms of Exe c utive Orde r 12866 .
VII. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Pub . L.
104-4 . establishes requirements for
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their regulatory a c tions on State. local.
and Tribal governments and the private
sector. Under UMRA section 202 . EPA
generally must prepare a written
statement. including a cost-benefit
analysis , for propose d and final rules
with "Federal mandates" that may
result in expenditures to State , local.
and Tribal governments . in the
aggregate . or to the private sector. of
$100 million or more in any one year.
Before promulgating an EPA rule for
which a written statement is needed.
UMRA § 205 generally requires EPA to
identify and consider a reasonable
number of regulatory alternatives and
adopt the least costly. most cost-
effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule .
The provisions of UMRA § 205 do not
apply when they are inconsistent with
applicable law . Moreover , UMRA § 205
allows EPA to adopt an alternative other
than the least costly. most cost-effective
or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes an explanation
with the final rule why the alternative
was not adopted .
Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or
uniquely affect small governments,
including Tribal governments. it must
have developed under UMRA § 203 a
small government agency plan. The plan
must provide for notifying potentially
affected small governments , enabling
officials of affected small governments
to have meaningful and timely input in
the development of EPA regulatory
proposals with significant Federal
intergovernmental mandates , and
informing . educating and advising small
governments on compliance with the
regulatory requirements .
A UMRA Section 202 and the
Construction General Permit
UMRA § 202 requires a written
statement containing certain
assessments , estimates and analyses
prior to the promulgation of certain
general notices of proposed rulemaking
(2 U.S.C . 1532). UMRA §421(10) defines
36496 Federal Register /Vol. 63. No . 128 /Monday. July 6 , 1998/Notices
"rule" based on the definition of rule in
the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Section
60 I of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
defines "rule" to mean any rule for
which an agency publishes a general
notice of proposed rulemaking pursuant
to § 553 of the Administrative Procedure
Act. EPA does not propose to issue
NPDES general permits based on APA
§ 553 . Instead . EPA relies on publication
of general permits in the Federal
Register in order to provide "an
opportunity for a hearing" under CWA
§ 402(a). 33 U.S.C . 1342(a). Nonetheless.
EPA has evaluated permitting
alternat ives for regulation of storm
water discharges associated with
construction activity . The general
permit that EPA proposes to re -issue
would be virtually the same NPDES
general permit for construction that
many construction operators have used
over the past five years. Furthermore,
general permits provide a more cost and
time efficient alternative for the
regulated community to obtain NPDES
permit coverage than that provided
through individually drafted permits .
B. UMRA Section 203 and the
Construction General Permit
Agencies are required to prepare
small government agency plans under
UMRA § 203 prior to establishing any
regulatory requirement that might
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments . "Regulatory
requirements" might. for example.
include the requirements of these
NPDES general permits for discharges
associated with construction activity ,
especially if a municipality sought
coverage under one of the general
permits. EPA envisions that some
municipalities-those with municipal
separate storm sewer systems serving a
population over 100.000-may elect to
seek coverage under these proposed
general permits. For many
municipalities , however. a permit
application is not required until August
7 . 2001 . for a storm water discharge
associated with construction activity
where the construction site is owned or
operated by a municipality with a
population of less than 100,000 . (See 40
CFR 122.26(e)(l)(ii) and (g)).
In any event, any such permit
requirements would not significantly
affect small governments because most
State laws already provide for the
control of sedimentation and erosion in
a similar manner as today's general
permit. Permit requirements also would
not uniquely affect small governments
because compliance with the permit's
conditions affects small governments in
the same manner as any other entity
seeking coverage under the permit.
Thus . UMRA § 203 would not apply .
VIII . Paperwork Reduction Act
On June 2, 1997. EPA solicited
comments on the proposed revision to
the current Information Collection
Request (ICR) document for this permit
(ICR approved OMB ; OMB No. 2040-
0086. expiration . August 31, 1998) to
accommodate the increased information
requirements in the new NOI for the
construction general permit {62 FR
29826). A revised NOI form has been
approved (EPA Form 3510-9 OMB No .
2040-0188.) This revised form is
included in the permit in Addendum C.
EPA estimates an increase in the burden
associated with filling out the NOI form
for the permit due to added
requirements under the Endangered
Species Act. EPA also anticipates a
small increase in the time because of the
requirement to submit an NOT upon
completion of construction activities .
IX . Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA). 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq .. a Federal
agency must prepare an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis "for any
proposed rule" for which the agency "is
required by section 553 of [the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA)].
or any other law. to publish general
notice of proposed rulemaking." The
RF A exempts from this requirement any
rule that the issuing agency certifies
"will not, if promulgated, have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities ."
EPA did not prepare an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis (IRF A) for
the proposed CGP. (Note that in today's
action. EPA is issuing a separate general
permit for each jurisdiction where EPA
issues permits; i.e .. in certain States.
Indian Country lands and Federal
facilities within certain States . However .
for purposes of readability. reference is
made to the permits in the singular form
such as "permit" or "CGP " rather than
in plural form.) In the notice of the
proposed permit. EPA explained its
view that issuance of an NPDES general
permit is not subject to rulemaking
requirements, including the requirement
for a general notice of proposed
rulemaking, under APA section 553 or
any other law. and is thus not subject to
the RF A requirement to prepare an
IRF A. Nevertheless, in keeping with
EPA 's policy to consider the impact of
its actions on small entities even when
it is not legally required to do so. the
Agency considered the potential impact
of the permit on small entities that
would be eligible for coverage under the
permit. EPA concluded that the permit,
if issued as drafted. would not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities . EPA based its
conclusion on the fact that the draft
permit was largely the same as the
previous permit issued in 1992 and. to
the extent it differed . provided
dischargers with more flexibility than
that permit allowed .
Some commenters on the proposed
CGP disagreed with EPA's conclusions
that NPDES general permits are not
subject to rulemaking requirements and
that the proposed permit would not
have a significant impact on small
entities. They asserted that the CGP is
subject to rulemaking requirements and
thus the RF A . and that the Agency
should have prepared an IRF A for the
permit.
In light of the comments received.
EPA further considered whether NPDES
general permits are subject to
rulemaking requirements. The Agency
reviewed its previous NPDES general
permitting actions and related
statements in the Federal Register or
elsewhere . This review suggests that the
Agency has generally treated NPDES
general permits effectively as rules.
though at times it has given contrary
indications as to whether these actions
are rules or permits. EPA also reviewed
again the applicable law . including the
CW A . relevant CW A case law and the
APA, as well as the Attorney General's
Manual on the AP A (194 7). On the basis
of its review. EPA has concluded, as set
forth in the proposal, that NPDES
general permits are permits under the
APA and thus not subject to APA
rule making requirements or the RF A.
The APA defines two broad , mutually
exclusive categories of agency action-
"rules" and "orders ." Its definition of
"rule" encompasses "an agency
statement of general or particular
applicability and future effect designed
to implement. interpret, or prescribe law
or policy or describing the organization.
procedure, or practice requirements of
an agency * * *"APA section 551(4).
Its definition of "order " is residual : "a
final disposition * * * of an agency in
a matter other than rule making but
including licensing." APA section
551(6) (emphasis added). The APA
defines "license " to "include* * *an
agency permit * * * ·' AP A section
551(8). The APA thus categorizes a
permit as an order. which by the APA's
definition is not a rule.
Section 553 of the APA establishes
"rule making " requirements. The APA
defines rule making as "the agency
process for formulating , amending. or
repealing a rule ." AP A § 551 (5). By its
terms. then . § 553 applies only to
"rules" and not also to "orders," which
Federal Register /Vol. 63, No. 128/Monday. Jul y 6, 1998 /Notices 36497
include permits. As the Attorney
General's Manual on the APA explains,
"the entire Act is based upon a
dichotomy between rule making and
adjudication [the agency process for
formulation of an order]" (p . 14).
The CWA specifies the use of permits
for authorizing the discharge of
pollutants to waters of the United
States. Section 301 (a) of the CWA
prohibits discharges of pollutants
"[except as in compliance with"
specified sections of the CWA,
including section 402. 33 U.S.C .
1311 (a). Section 402 of the CWA
authorizes EPA "to issue a permit for
the discharge of any pollutant * * *,
notwithstanding section [30 1 (a) of the
CWA]." 33 U.S.C. 1342 (a). Thus, the
only circumstances in which a
discharge of pollution may be
authorized is where the Agency has
issued a permit for the discharge.
Courts, recognizing that a permit is the
necessary condition-precedent to any
lawful discharge, specifically suggested
the use of area-wide and general permits
as a mechanism for addressing the
Agency's need to issue a substantial
number of permits. See NRDC v. Train ,
396 F.Supp . 1393, 1402 (D .D.C . 1975);
NRDCv . Castle, 568 F .2d 1369. 1381.
(D .C. Cir. 1977). Adopting the courts'
suggestion , EPA has made increasing
use of general permits in its CWA
regulatory program, particularly for
storm water discharges.
In the Agency 's view, the fact that an
NPDES general permit may apply to a
large number of different dischargers
does not convert it from a permit into
a rule. As noted above, the courts which
have faced the issue of how EPA can
permit large numbers of discharges
under the CWA have suggested use of a
general permit, not a rule . Under the
APA. the two terms are mutually
exclusive. Moreover, an NPDES general
permit retains unique characteristics
that distinguish a permit from a rule .
First. today's NPDES general permit for
storm water discharges associated with
construction activity is effective only
with respect to those dischargers that
choose to be bound by the permit. Thus .
unlike the typical rule. this NPDES
general permit does not impose
immediately effective obligations of
general applicability. A discharger must
choose to be covered by this general
permit and so notify EPA. A discharger
always retains the option of obtaining
its own individual permit. Relatedly.
the terms of the NPDES general permit
are enforceable only against dischargers
that choose to make use of the permit.
If a source discharges without
authorization of a general or an
individual permit, the discharger
violates§ 301 of the Act for discharging
without a permit. not for violating the
terms of an NPDES general permit.
Because the CWA a nd its case law
make clear that NPDES permits are the
congressionally chosen vehicle for
authorizing discharges of pollutants to
waters of the United States . the AP A 's
rulemaking requirements are
inapplicable to issuance of such
permits , including today's general
permit. Further, while the CWA requires
that NPDES permits be issued only after
an opportunity for a hearing , it does not
require publication of a general notice of
proposed rulemaking. Thus , NPDES
permitting is not subject to the
requirement to publish a general notice
of proposed rulemaking under the AP A
or any other law. Accordingly . it is not
subject to the RF A.
At the same time , the Agency
recognizes that the question of the
applicability of the APA. and thus the
RF A, to the issuance of a general permit
is a difficult one, given the fact that a
large number of dischargers may choose
to use the general permit. Indeed, the
point of issuing a general permit is to
provide a speedier means of permitting
large number of sources and save
dischargers and EPA time and effort.
Since the Agency hopes that many
dischargers will make use of a general
permit and since the CWA requires EPA
to provide an opportunity for "a
hearing" prior to issuance of a permit,
EPA provides the public with notice of
a draft general permit and an
opportunity to comment on it. From
public comments. EPA learns how to
better craft a general permit to make it
appropriate for. and acceptable to, the
largest number of potential permittees.
This same process also provides an
opportunity for EPA to consider the
potential impact of general permit terms
on small entities and how to craft the
permit to avoid any undue burden on
small entities . This process. however. is
voluntary. and does not trigger
rulemaking or RF A requirements.
In the case of the CGP being issued
today, the Agency has considered and
addressed the potential impact of the
general permit on small entities in a
manner that would meet the
requirements of the RF A if it applied.
Specifically. EPA has analyzed the
potential impact of the general permit
on small entities and found that it will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. Like the previous general
permit that it replaces (the Baseline
Construction General Permit), the
permit will make available to many
small entities, particularly operators of
construction sites. a streamlined process
for obtaining authorization to discharge .
Of the possible permitting mechanisms
available to dischargers subject to the
CWA . NPDES general permits are
designed to reduce the reporting and
monitoring burden associated with
NPDES permit authorization . especially
for small entities with discharges having
comparatively less potential for
environmental degradation than
discharges typically regu lated under
individual NPDES permits. Thus ,
general permits like the permit at issue
here provide small entities with a
permitting application option that is
much less burdensome than NPDES
individual permit applications.
Furthermore. the general permit is
virtually identical to its predecessor. the
Baseline Construction General Permit.
under which many construction
operators have operated during the past
five years . Moreover. the other new
provisions of the permit have been
designed to minimize burdens on small
entities. including eliminating the
requirement that construction site
operators require that their contractors
and subcontractors sign a standard
certification statement agreeing to abide
by storm water pollution prevention
plan provisions developed for a project.
In today's general permit, only the
operator(s) of a constructio n site are
required to satisfy certification
requirements under the permit. EPA
believes this modification from the prior
permit should reduce any such adverse
economic impacts on both operators and
contractors/subcontractors who, in
many instances. are small entities . In
view of the foregoing . the Regional
Administrators find that the final
general permit. even if it were a rule,
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

B. Eligibility
1. Permittees are authorized to
d ischarge pollutants in storm water
runoff associated with construction
activities as defined in 40 CFR
122 .26(b)(l4)(x) and those construction
site discharges designated by the
Director as needing a storm water
permit under 122 .26(a)(l)(v) or under
122.26(a)(9) and 122 .26(g)(l)(i).
Discharges identified under Part I.B .3
are excluded from coverage. Any
d ischarge authorized by a different
NPDES permit may be commingled with
d ischarges authorized by this permit.
2. This permit also authorizes storm
water discharges from support activities
(e .g .. concrete or asphalt batch plants ,
equipment staging yards. material
storage areas. excavated material
disposal areas. borrow areas) provided :
a . The support activity is directly
related to a construction site that is
required to have NPDES permit
coverage for discharges of storm water
associated with construction activity;
b . The support activity is not a
commercial operation serving multiple
unrelated construction projects by
different operators . and does not operate
beyond the completion of the
construction activity at the last
construction project it supports; and
c . Appropriate controls and measures
are identified in a storm water pollution
prevention plan covering the discharges
from the support activity areas.
3 . Limitations on Coverage
a . Post Construction Dis c h arges. This
permit does not authorize storm water
discharges that origi nate from the site
after construction activities have been
com pleted and the site. including any
temporary support activity site, has
undergone final stabilization . Industrial
post-construction storm water
discharges may need to be covered by a
separate NPDES permit.
b. Discharges Mixed with Non-Storm
Water. This permit does not authorize
discharges that are mixed with sources
of non-storm water. other than those
discharges which are identified in Part
III .A.2. or 3 . (exceptions to prohibition
on non-s torm water discharges) and are
in compliance with Part IV .D.5 (non-
s torm water discharges).
c. Discharges Covered by Another
Permit. This permit does not authorize
s torm water discharges associated with
construction activity that have been
covered under an individual permit or
required to obtain coverage under an
alternative general permit in accordance
with Part VI.L .
d. Discharges Threatening Water
Quality. This permit does not authorize
storm water discharges from
construction sites that the Director
(EPA) determines will cause , or have
reasonable potential to cause or
contribute to. violations of water quality
standards. Where such determinations
have been made , the Director may notify
the operator(s) that an individual permit
application is necessary in accordance
with Part VI.L. However. the Director
may authorize coverage under this
permit after appropriate controls and
implementation procedures designed to
bring the discharges into compliance
with water quality standards have been
included in the storm water pollution
prevention plan ;
e . Storm water discharges and storm
water discharge-related activities that
are not protective of Federally listed
endangered and threatened ("listed ")
species or designated critical habitat
("c ritical habitat ").
(1) For the purposes of complying
with the Part I.B .3.e. eligib ility
requirements. "storm water discharge-

(the "Services") under section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) has be en
concluded which addresses the effects
of the applicant's storm water
discharges and storm water discharge-
related activities on listed species and
critical habitat and the consultation
results in either a no jeopardy opinion
or a written concurrence by the
Service(s) on a finding that the
applicant's storm water discharges and
storm water discharge-related activities
are not likely to adversely affect listed
species or critical habitat. A section 7
consultation may occur in the context of
another Federal action (e .g .. a ESA
section 7 consultation was performed
for issuance of a wetlands dredge and
fill permit for the project. or as part of
a National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) review); or
(c) The applicant's construction
activities are authorized under section
10 of the ESA and that authorization
addresses the effects of the applicant's
storm water discharges and storm water
discharge-related activities on listed
species and critical habitat; or
(d) The applicant's storm water
discharges and storm water discharge-
related activities were already addressed
in another operator's certification of
eligibility under Part 1.8.3 .e. (2) (a). (b). or
(c) which included the applicant's
project area. By certifying eligibility
under Part I.B .3 .e .(2)(d). the applicant
agrees to comply with any measures or
controls upon which the other
operator's certification under Part

construction after the effective date of
this permit, applicants must follow th e
procedures provided at Addendum A of
this permit when applying for permit
coverage . The Director may also require
any existing permittee or applicant to
provide documentation of eligibility for
this permit using the procedures in
Addendum A , where EPA or the Fish
and Wildlife Services determine that
there is a potential impaction on
endangered or threatened species or a
critical habitat. Not hing in this permit
relieves applicants which are under
construc tion as of the effective date of
thi s permit of their obligations they may
h ave to com ply with any requirements
of the Endangered Species Act.
(4) The applicant must comply with
any applicable terms. conditions or
other requirements developed in the
process of meeting eligibility
requirements of Part I.B.3 .e.(2)(a). (b).
(c). or (d) above to remain eligible for
coverage under this permit. Such terms
and conditions must be incorporated in
the ap plicant's storm water pollution
prevention plan .
(5) Applicants who choose to co nduct
informal consultation to meet the
eligibility requirements of Part
1.8 .3.e. (2) (b) are automatically
designated as non-Federal
representatives under this permit. See
50 CFR 402 .08 . Applicants who choose
to conduct informal consultation as a
non-Federal representatives must notify
EPA and the appropriate Service office
in writing of that decision.
(6) This permit does not authorize any
storm water discharges where the
discharges or storm water discharge -
related activities cause prohibited
"take" (as defined under section 3 of the
Endangered Species Act and 50 CFR
17 .3) of endangered or threatened
species unless such takes are authorized
under sections 7 or 10 of the
Endangered Species Act.
(7) This permit does not authorize any
storm water discharges where the
discharges or storm water discharge-
related activities are likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of any species

(e .g .. you do not need to submit a
separate NOi for each separate lot in a
residential subdivision or for two
separate buildings being constructed at
a manufacturing facility . provided your
SWPPP covers each area for which you
are an operator). The SWPPP must be
implemented upon commencement of
construction activities .
2 . Any new operator on site.
including those who replace an operator
who has previously obtained p e rmit
coverage. must submit an NOI to obtain
permit coverage.
3 . Unless notified by the Dire ctor to
the contrary. operators who submit a
correctly completed NOI in accordance
with the requirements of this permit are
authorized to discharge storm water
from construction activities under the
terms and conditions of this permit two
(2) days after the date that the NOI is
postmarked . The Director may deny
coverage under this permit and require
submittal of a n application for an
individual NPDES permit based on a
review of the NOI or other information
(see Part VI.L).
D. Terminating Coverage
1. Permittees wishing to term inate
coverage under this permit must submit
a Notice of Termination (NOT) in
accordance with Part VIII of this permit.
Compliance with this permit is required

permittee's authorization to discharge
under this permit terminates at
midnight of the day the NOT is signed.
2. All permittees must submit a NOT
within thirty (30) days after one or more
of the following conditions have been
met:
a . Final stabilization (see definition
Part IX.I) has been achieved on all
portions of the site for which the
permittee is responsible (including if
applicable , returning agricultural land
to its pre-construction agricultural use);
b . Another operator/permittee has
assumed control according to Part
VI.G .2 .c. over all areas of the site that
have not been finally stabilized ; or
c. For residential construction only,
temporary stabilization has been
completed and the residence has been

the new operator must submit a NOI at
least two (2) days before assuming
operational control over site
specifications or commencing work on-
site.
4 . Operators are not prohibited from
submitting late NOis . When a late NOI
is submitted, authorization is only for
discharges that occur after permit
coverage is granted. The Agency
reserves the right to take appropriate
enforcement actions for any
unpermitted activities that may have
occurred between the time construction
commenced and authorization of future
discharges is granted (typically 2 days
after a complete NOI is submitted).

Quantities
The discharge of hazardous
substances or oil in the storm water
discharge(s) from a facility shall be
prevented or minimized in accordance
with the applicable storm water
pollution prevention plan for the
facility . This permit does not relieve the
permittee of the reporting requirements
of 40 CFR 110 , 40 CFR 117 and 40 CFR
302. Where a release containing a
hazardous substance or oil in an amount
equal to or in excess of a reportable
quantity established under either 40
CFR 110. 40 CFR 117 or 40 CFR 302 ,
occurs during a 24 hour period:
1. The permittee is required to notify
the National Response Center (NRC)
(800-424-8802 ; in the Washington. DC.
metropolitan area call 202-426-2675) in
accordance with the requirements of 40
CFR 110 , 40 CFR 117 and 40 CFR 302
as soon as he or she has knowledge of
the discharge;
2. The storm water pollution
prevention plan required under Part IV
of this permit must be modified within
14 calendar days of knowledge of the
release to : provide a description of the
release, the circumstances leading to the
release, and the date of the release. In
addition. the plan must be reviewed to
identify measures to prevent the
reoccurrence of such releases and to
respond to such releases , and the plan
must be modified where appropriate.
C. Spills
This permit does not authorize the
discharge of hazardous substances or oil
resulting from an on-site spill.
D. Discharge Compliance With Water
Quality Standards
Operators seeking coverage under this
permit shall not be causing or have the
reasonable potential to cause or
contribute to a violation of a water
quality standard . Where a discharge is
already authorized under this permit
and is later determined to cause or have
the reasonable potential to cause or
contribute to the violation of an
applicable water quality standard. the
Director will notify the operator of such
violation (s). The permittee shall take all
necessary actions to ensure future
discharges do not cause or contribute to
the violation of a water quality standard
and document these actions in the storm
water pollution prevention plan. If
violations remain or re-occur , then
coverage unde r this permit may be
terminated by the Director . and an
alternative general permit or individual
p e rmit may be issued . Compl iance with
this requirement does not pre clude any
enforcement activity as provided by the
Clean Water Act for the unde rl y ing
violation .
E. Responsibilities of Operators
Permittees may meet one or both of
the operational control components in
the definition of "operator " found in
Part IX .N. Either Parts III.E. l or III .E.2 or
both will apply depending on the type
of operational control exerted by an
individual permittee . Part III.E .3 applies
to all permittees .
1. Permittees with operational control
over construction plans and
specifications. including the ability to
make modifications to those plans and
specifications (e .g .. developer or owner).
must:
a . Ensure the project specifications
that they develop meet the minimum
requirements of Part IV (Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP))
and all other applicable conditions;
b . Ensure that the SWPPP indicates
the areas of the project where they have
operational control over project
specifications (including the ability to
make modifications in specifications).
and ensure all other permittees
implementing portions of the SWPPP
impacted by any changes they make to
the plan are notified of such
modifications in a timely manner; and
c . Ensure that the SWPPP for portions
of the project where they are operators
indicates the name and NPDES permit
number for parties with day-to-day
operational control of those activities
necessary to ensure compliance with the
SWPPP or other permit conditions. If
these parties have not been identified at
the time the SWPPP is initially
developed. the permittee with
operational control over project
specifications shall be considered to be
the responsible party until such time as
the authority is transferred to another
party (e.g .. general contractor) and the
plan updated .
2. Permittee(s) with day-to -day
operational control of those activities at
a project which are necessary to ensure
compliance with a SWPPP for the site
or other permit conditions (e .g .. general
contractor) must:
a . Ensure that the SWPPP for portions
of the project where they are operators
meets the minimum requirements of
Part IV (Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan) and identifies the
parties responsible for implementation
of control measures identified in the
plan;
b . En s ure that th e SWPPP indicates
areas of t he proj ect where th ey h a ve
ope ration a l control ove r day -to-day
ac tivities ;
c . Ensure th a t th e SWPPP fo r portions
of the proj ec t whe re th ey ar e operators
indicates the nam e and NPDES p e rmit
number of the party(ies) w ith
operational control over proj ec t
specifica tions (in cl uding the ab ility to
make modifications in specifications);
3 . Permittees with operational control
over only a portion of a larger
construction project (e.g .. one of four
homebuilders in a subdivision) are
responsible for compliance with all
applicable te rms and conditions of this
permit as it relates to their activities on
their portion of the construction site.
including protection of endangered
species and implementation of BMPs
and other controls required by the
SWPPP . Permitte es shall ensure either
directly or through coordination with
other permittees . that their activities do
not render another party's pollution
controls ineffective . Permittees must
either implement their portions of a
common SWPPP or develop and
implement their own SWPPP.
F. Consistency With the Texas Coastal
Management Program
This permit does not relieve
permittees whose construction project is
located within the boundary of the
Texas Coastal Management Program of

Part IV. Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plans
At least one storm water pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP) shall be
developed for each construction project
or site covered by this permit. For more
effective coordination of BMPs and
opportunities for cost sharing, a
cooperative effort by the different
operators at a site to prepare and
participate in a comprehensive SWPPP
is encouraged. Individual operators at a
site may. but are not required. to
develop separate SWPPPs that cover
only their portion of the project
provided reference is made to other
operators at the site . In instances where
there is more than one SWPPP for a site .
coordination must be conducted
between the permittees to ensure the
storm water discharge controls and
other measures are consistent with one
another (e .g .. provisions to protect listed
species and critical habitat).
Storm water pollution prevention
plans shall be prepared in accordance
with good engineering practices. The
SWPPP shall identify potential sources
of pollution which may reasonably be
expected to affect the quality of storm
water discharges from the construction
site. The SWPPP shall describe and
ensure the implementation of practices
which 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.
When developing SWPPPs . applicants
must follow the procedures in
Addendum A of this permit to
determine whether listed endangered or
threatened species or critical habitat
would be affected by the applicant's
storm water discharges or storm water
discharge-related activities . Any
information on whether listed species or
critical habitat are found in proximity to
the construction site must be included
in the SWPPP . Any terms or conditions
that are imposed under the eligibility
requirements of Part I.B.3.e and
Addendum A of this permit to protect
listed species or critical habitat from
storm water discharges or storm water
discharge-related activity must be
incorporated into the SWPPP .
Permittees must implement the
applicab le provisions of the SWP PP
required under this part as a condition
of this permit.
A. Deadlines for Plan Preparation and
Compliance
The storm water pollution prevention
plan shall:
1. Be completed prior to the submittal
of an NOI to be covered under this
p e rmit (except as provided in Parts
II.A.5 and Il .A.6) updated as
appropriate; and
2. Provide for compliance with the
ter ms and schedule of the SWPPP
beginning with the initiation of
construction activities .
B. Signature , Plan Review and Making
Plans Available
1. The SWPPP shall be signed in
accorda nce with Part VI.G, and be
retained on-site at the facility which
generates the storm water discharge in
accordance with Part V (Retention of
Records) of this permit.
2 . The permittee shall post a notic e
near the main entrance of the
construction site with the following
information :
a . The NPDES permit number for the
project or a copy of the NOI if a permit
number has not yet been assigned;
b . The name and telephone number of
a local contact person;
c. A brief description of the project;
and
d. The location of the SWPPP if the
site is inactive or does not have an on-
site location to store the plan.
If posting this information near a
main entrance is infeasible due to safety"
concerns, the notice shall be posted in
a local public building. 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 and moved as necessary. This
permit does not provide the 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
public access to a construction site .
3 . The permittee shall make SWPPPs
available upon request to the Director, a
State , Tribal or local agency approving
sediment and erosion plans. grading
plans. or storm water management
plans ; local government officials; or the
operator of a municipal separate storm
sewer receiving discharges from the site.
The copy of the SWPPP that is required
to be kept on-site or locally available
must be made available to the Director
for review at the time of an on-site
inspection. Also. in the interest of
public in volvement. EPA encourages
permittees to make t h eir SWPPPs
availab le to the public for viewing
during normal business hours.
4 . The Director may notify the
permittee at any time that the SWPPP
does not meet one or more of the
minimum requirements of this Part .
Such notification shall identify those
provision of this permit which are not
being met by the SWPPP as well as
those requiring modification in order to
meet the minimum req uirements of this
Part. Within seven (7) calendar days of
receipt of such notification from the
Director (or as otherwise provided by
the Director), the permittee shall make
the required changes to the SWPPP and
shall submit to the Director a written
certification that the requested changes
have been made. The Director may take
appro priate enforcement action for the
period of time the permittee was
operating under a plan that did not meet
the minimum requirements of this
permit.
C. Keeping Plans Current
The permittee must amend the storm
water pollution prevention plan
whenever:
l. There is a change in design.
construction, operation , or maintenance
which has a significant effect on the
discharge of pollutants to the waters of
the United States which has not been
addressed in the SWPPP; or
2. Inspections or investigations by site
operators, local. State. Tribal or Federal
officials indicate the SWPPP is proving
ineffective in eliminating or
s ignificantly minimizing pollutants
from sources identified under Part
IV.D . l of this permit. or is otherwise not
achieving the general objectives of
controlling pollutants in storm water
discharges associated with construction
activity .
D. Contents of Plan

this permit;
g. The name of the receiving water(s)
and the areal extent and description of
wetland or other special aquatic sites (as
described under 40 CFR 230.3(q-l)) at
or near the site which will be disturbed

State Historic Preservation Officer.
Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. or
other Tribal leader to mitigate those
effects.
2. Controls
Each SWPPP shall include a
description of appropriate control
measures (i.e ., BMPs) that will be
implemented as part of the construction
activity to control pollutants in storm
water discharges . The SWPPP must
clearly describe for each major activity
identified in Part IV.D. l .b: (a)
appropriate control measures and the
general timing (o r sequence) during th e
construction process that the meas ures
will be implemented; and (b) whic h
permittee is responsible for
implementation (e.g .. perimeter co ntrols
for one portion of the site will be
installed by Contractor A after the
clearing and grubbing necessary for
installation of the measure. but before
the clearing and gru bbing for the
remaining portions of the site; and
perimeter controls will be actively
maintained by Contractor B until final
stabilization of those portions of the site
up-gradient of the perimeter control;
and temporary perimeter controls will
be removed by the owner after final
stabilization). The description and
implementation of control measures
shall address the following minimum
components:
a. Erosion and Sediment Controls.
(1) Short and Long Term Goals and
Criteria:
(a) The construction-phase erosion
and sediment controls should be
designed to retain sediment on site to
the extent practicable .
(b) All control measures must be
properly selected. installed. and
maintained in accordance with the
manufacturers specifications and good
engineering practices. If periodic
inspections or other information
indicates a control has been used
inappropriately. or incorrectly. the
permittee must replace or modify the
control for site situations .
(c) If sediment escapes the
construction site . off-site accumulations
of sediment must be removed at a
frequency sufficient to minimize offsite
impacts (e .g .. fugitive sediment in street
could be washed into storm sewers by
the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard
to users of public streets).
(d) Sediment must be removed from
sediment traps or sedimentation ponds
when design capacity has been reduced
by 50 %.
(e) Litter . construction debris, and
construction chemicals exposed to
storm water shall be prevented from
becoming a pollutant source for storm
water discharges (e.g .. screening
outfalls , picked up daily).
(f) Offsite material storage areas (also
including overburden and stockpiles of
dirt. borrow areas. etc .) used solely by
the permitted project are considered a
part of the project and shall be
addressed in the SWPPP .
(2) Stabilization Practices : The
SWPPP 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 attain able and that disturbed
portions of the site are stabilized.
Stabilization practices may include but
are not limited to: estab li shment of
t e mporary vegetation. establishment of
permanent vegetation. mulching .
geotextiles. sod stabilization. vegetative
buffer strips. protection of trees.
preservation of mature vegetation. and
other appropriate measures. Use of
impervious surfaces for stabilization
should be avoided .
The following records shall be
maintained and attached to the SWPPP :
the dates when major grading activities
occur; the dates w.hen construction
activities temporarily or permanently
cease on a portion of the site; and the
dates when stabilization measures are
initiated.
Except as provided in Parts
IV .D.2.a .(2)(a). {b). and (c) below.
stabilization measures s hall be initiated
as soon as practicable in portions of the
site where construction activities have
temporarily or permanently ceased. but
in no case more than 14 days after the
construction activity in that portion of
the site h as temporarily or permanently
ceased.
(a) Where the initiation of
stabilization measures by the 14th day
after construction activity temporary or
permanently cease is precluded by snow
cover or frozen ground conditions .
stabilization measures shall 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 21 days. temporary
stabilization measures do not have to be
initiated on that portion of site .
(c) In arid areas (areas with an average
annual rainfall ofO to 10 inches). semi-
arid 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 seasonal arid
conditions. stabilization measures shall
be initiated as soon as practicable .
(3) Structural Practices : The SWPPP
must include a description of structural
practices to divert flows from exposed
soils. store flows or otherwise limit
runoff and the discharge of pollutants
from exposed areas of the site to the
degree attainable . Structural practices
may include but are not limited to : silt
fences , earth dikes , drainage swales .
sediment traps . check dams , subsurface
drains . pipe slope drains. le vel
spreaders. storm drain inlet protection,
36504 Federal Register /Vol. 63. No. 128 /Monday. Jul y 6 , 1998/Notices
rock outlet protection. reinforced soil
retaining systems. gabions . and
temporary or permanent sediment
basins . Placement of structural practices
in floodplains should be avoided to the
degree attainable . The installation of
these devices may be subject to section
404 of the CW A.
(a) For common drain age locations
that serve an area with ten ( 10) or more
acres dis turbed at one time, a temporary
(or permanent) sediment basin that
provides storage for a calculated volume
of runoff from a 2 year, 24 hour storm
from each disturbed acre drained , or
equivalent control measures. shall be
provided where attainable until final
stabilization of the site. Where no such
calculation has been performed , a
temporary (or permanent) sediment
basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of
storage per acre drained, or equivalent
control measures. shall be provided
where attainable until final stabilization
of the site . When computing the number
of acres draining into a common
location it is not necessary to include
flows from offsite areas and flows from
onsite areas that are either undisturbed
or have undergone final stabilization
where such flows are diverted around
both the disturbed area and the
sediment basin.
In determining whether installing a
sediment basin is attainable. the
permittee may consider factors such as
site soils, slope, available area on site.
etc. In any event, the permittee must
consider public safety, especially as it
relates to children, as a design factor for
the sediment basin and alternative
sediment controls shall be used where
site limitations would preclude a safe
design . For drainage locations which
serve ten (10) or more disturbed acres at
one time and where a temporary
sediment basin or equivalent controls is
not attainable, smaller sediment basins
and/or sediment traps should be used .
Where neither the sediment basin nor
equivalent controls are attainable due to
site limitations, silt fences. vegetative
buffer strips. or equivalent sediment
controls are required for all down slope
boundaries of the construction area and
for those side slope boundaries deemed
appropriate as dictated by individual
site conditions. EPA encourages the use
of a combination of sediment and
erosion control measures in order to
achieve maximum pollutant removal.
(b} Fo r drainage locations serving less
than 10 acres . smaller sediment basins
and/or sediment traps should be used.
At a minimum, silt fences , vegetative
buffer strips, or equivalent sediment
controls are required for all down slope
boundaries (and for those side slope
boundaries deemed appropriate as
dictated by individual site conditions)
of the construction area unless a
sediment basin providing storage for a
calcu lated volume of runoff from a 2
year. 24 hour storm or 3 .600 cubic feet
of storage per acre drained is provided.
EPA encourages the use of a
combination of sediment and erosion
control measures in order to achieve
maximum pollutant removal.
b . Storm Water Management. A
description of 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
SWPPP . Structural measures should be
placed on upland soils to the degree
attainable. The installation of these
devices may also require a separate
permit under section 404 of the CWA .
Permittees are only responsible for the
installation and maintenance of storm
water management measures prior to
final stabilization of the site, and are not
res ponsible for maintenance after storm
water discharges associated with
construction activity have been
eliminated from the site. However. post-
construction storm water BMPs that
discharge pollutants from point sources
once construction is completed may. in
themselves. need authorization under a
separate NPDES permit.
(1) Such practices may include but are
not limited to : storm water detention
structures (including wet ponds); storm
water retention structures; flow
attenuation by use of open vegetated
swales and natural depressions ;
infiltration of runoff onsite; and
sequential systems (which combine
several practices). The SWPPP shall
include an explanation of the technical
basis used to select the practices to
control pollution where flows exceed
predevelopment levels.
(2) 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 (e.g .. no
significant changes in the hydrological
regime of the receiving water).
c. Other Controls .
(1) No solid materials , including
building materials . shall be discharged
to waters of the United States, except as
authorized by a permit issued under
section 404 of the CW A.
(2) Off-site vehicle tracking of
sediments and the generation of dust
shall be minimized .
(3) The SWPPP shall be consistent
with applicable State, Tribal and/or
local waste disposal. sanitary sewer or
septic system regulations to the extent
these are located within the permitted
area.
(4) The SWPPP shall include a
description of construction and waste
materials expected to be stored on-site
wit h updates as appropriate. The
SWPPP shall also include a description
of co ntrols to reduce pollutants from
these materials incl uding storage
practices to m i nimize exposure of the
materials to storm water, and spill
prevention and response .
(5) The SWPPP shall 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.
(6) The SWPPP shall include a
description of measures necessary to
protect listed endangered or threatened
species. or critical habitat , including
any terms or conditions that are
imposed under the eligibility
requirements of Part I.B .3 .e(4) of this
permit. Failure to describe and
implement such measures will result in
storm water discharges from
construction activities that are ineligible
for coverage under this permit.
d. Approved State, Tribal or Local
Plans .
(1) Permittees which discharge storm
water associated with construction
activities must ensure their storm water
pollution prevention plan 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 State, Tribal or local
officials .
(2) Storm water pollution prevention
plans must be updated as necessary to
remain consistent with any changes
applicable to protecting surface water
resources in sediment and erosion site
plans or site permits. or storm water
management site plans or site permits
approved by State, Tribal or local
officials for which the permittee
receives written notice.
3 . Maintenance
All erosion and sediment control
measures and other protective measures
identified in the SWPPP must be
maintained in effective operating
condition. If site inspections required by
Part IV.0.4 . identify BMPs that are not
operating effectively. maintenance shall
be performed before the next anticipated
storm event . or as necessary to maintain
the continued effectiveness of storm
Federal Register /Vol. 63, No . 128/Monday, July 6, 1998 /Notices 36505
water controls . If maintenance prior to
the next anticipated storm event is
impracticable, maintenance must be
scheduled and accomplished as soon as
practicable.
4 . Inspections
Qualified personnel (provided by the
permittee or cooperatively by multiple
permittees) shall inspect disturbed areas
of the construction site that have not
been finally stabilized, areas used for
storage of materials that are exposed to
precipitation , structural control
measures, and locations where vehicles
enter or exit the site, at least once every
fourteen (14) calendar days and within
24 hours of the end of a storm event of
0 .5 inches or greater.
Where sites have been finally or
temporarily stabilized, runoff is unlikely
due to winter conditions (e.g ., site is
covered with snow, ice , or frozen
ground exists), or during seasonal arid
periods in arid areas (areas with an
average annual rainfall of 0 to 10 inches)
and semi-arid areas (areas with an
average annual rainfall of 10 to 20
inches) such inspections shall be
conducted at least once every month.
Permittees are eligible for a waiver of
monthly inspection requirements until
one month before thawing conditions
are expected to result in a discharge if
all of the following requirements are
met: (1) the project is located in an area
where frozen conditions are anticipated
to continue for extended periods of time
(i.e., more than one month); (2) land
disturbance activities have been
suspended; and (3) the beginning and
ending dates of the waiver period are
documented in the SWPPP.
a . Disturbed areas and areas used for
storage of materials that are exposed to
precipitation shall be inspected for
evidence of, or the potential for,
pollutants entering the drainage system.
Sediment and erosion control measures
identified in the SWPPP shall be
observed to ensure that they are
operating correctly. Where discharge
locations or points are accessible , they
shall be inspected to ascertain whether
erosion control measures are effective in
preventing significant impacts to
receiving waters. Where discharge
locations are inaccessible, nearby
downstream locations shall be inspected
to the extent that such inspections are
practicable . Locations where vehicles
enter or exit the site shall be inspected
for evidence of offsite sediment
tracking.
b . Based on the results of the
inspection, the SWPPP shall be
modified as necessary (e .g ., show
additional controls on map required by
Part IV .D. l ; revise description of
controls required by Part IV .D.2) to
inclu de additional or modified BMPs
designed to correct problems identified.
Revisions to the SWPPP shall be
completed within 7 calendar days
following the inspection. If existing
BMPs need to be modified or if
additional BMPs are necessary ,
implementation shall be completed
before the next anticipated storm event.
If implementation before the next
anticipated storm event is
impracticable, they shall be
implemented as soon as practicable.
c. A report summarizing the scope of
the inspection , name(s) and
qualifications of personnel making the
inspection. the date(s) of the inspection .
and major observations relating to the
implementation of the SWPPP shall be
made and retained as part of the SWPPP
for at least three years from the date that
the site is finally stabilized . Major
observations should include: the
location(s) of discharges of sediment or
other pollutants from the site;
location(s) of BMPs that need to be
maintained; location(s) of BMPs that
failed to operate as designed or proved
inadequate for a particular location; and
location(s) where additional BMPs are
needed that did not exist at the time of
inspection . Actions taken in accordance
with Part IV .D.4 .b of this permit shall be
made and retained as part of the storm
water pollution prevention plan for at
least three years from the date that the
site is finally stabilized . Such reports
shall identify any incidents of non-
compliance . Where a report does not
identify any incidents of non-
compliance. the report shall contain a
certification that the facility is in
compliance with the storm water
pollution prevention plan and this
permit. The report shall be signed in
accordance with Part VI.G of this
permit.
5. Non-Storm Water Discharges
Except for flows from fire fighting
activities. sources of non-storm water
listed in Part III .A.2 or 3 of this permit
that are combined with storm water
discharges associated with construction
activity must be identified in the
SWPPP. The SWPPP shall identify and
ensure the implementation of
appropriate pollution prevention
measures for the non-storm water
component(s) of the discharge .
Part V. Retention of Records
A. Documents
The permittee shall retain copies of
storm water pollution prevention plans
and all reports required by this permit,

unless it has been replaced by a revised
version by the Director. The Notice of
Terminat ion shall include the following
information:
1. The NPDES permit number for the
storm water discharge identified by the
Notice of Termination ;
2. An indication of whether the s tor m
water di sc harges associated with
constru c ti o n ac ti v ity have been
elimin ated (i.e .. regulated discharges of
storm water are be ing terminated) or the
permittee is no longer an operator at the
site;
3 . The name. address and t e lephone
number of the permittee su bmitting the
Notice of Termination ;
4 . The name of the proj ec t and street
address (or a description of location if

co n struction projects with more than
one permittee and/or operator, the
per mittee need only make this
certification for those portions of the
construction site where the permittee
was authorized under this permit and
not for areas where the permittee was
not an operator:
"I certify under penalty of law that all
storm water discharges associated with
industrial activity from the identified
facility that authorized by a general
per mit have been eliminated or that I
am no longer the operator of the facility
or construction site . I understand that
by submitting this notice of termination.
I am no longer authorized to discharge
storm water associated with industrial
activity under this general permit. and
that discharging pollutants in storm
water associated with industrial activity
to waters of the United States is
unlawful under the Clean Water Act
where the discharge is not authorized by
a NPDES permit. I also understand that
the submittal of this Notice of
Termination does not release an
operator from liability for any violations
of this permit or the Clean Water Act.''
For the purposes of this certification,
elimination of storm water discharges
ass ociated with construction activity
means that all disturbed soils at the
portion of the construction site where
the operator had control have been
finally stabilized (as defined in Part IX.I)
and temporary erosion and sediment
control measures have been removed or
will be removed at an appropriate time
to ensure final stabilization is
m a intained, or that all storm water
discharges associated with construction
activities from the identified site that
are authorized by a NPDES general
permit have otherwise been eliminated
from the portion of the construction site
where the operator had control.

Practice or other method used to
prevent or reduce the discharge of
pollutants to waters of the United
States.
C. Commencement of Construction
the initial disturbance of soils

E. Director means the Regional
Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency or an authorized
representative .
F. Discharge when used without
qualification means the "discharge of a
pollutant."
G. Discharge of Storm Water
Associated With Construction Activity
as used in this permit, refers to a
discharge of pollutants in storm water
runoff from areas where soil disturbing

site have been completed and a uniform
(e .g., evenly d istributed , without large
bare areas) perennial vegetative cover
with a density of 70% of the native
background vegetative cover for the area
Federal Register I Vol. 63 , No . 128 I Monday . July 6. 1998 I Notices 36509
has been established on alt unpaved
areas and areas not covered by
permanent structures . or equivalent
permanent stabilization measures (such
as the use of riprap. gabions . or
geotextiles) have been employed. In
some parts of the country. background
native vegetation will cover less than
I 00% of the ground (e .g .. arid areas.
beaches). Establishing at least 70 % of
the natural cover of native vegetat ion
meets the vegetative cover criteria for
final stabilization (e.g .. if the native
vegeta tion covers 50% of the ground,
70 % of 50 % would requ ire 35 % total
cover for final stabilization ; on a beach
with no natural vegetation . no
stabilization is required); or
2. For individual lots in residential
construction by either: (a) the
homebuilder completing final
stabilization as specified above . or (b)
the homebuilder establishing temporary
stabilization including perimeter
controls for an individual lot prior to
occupation of the home by the
homeowner and informing the
homeowner of the need for, and benefits
of. final stabilization. (Homeowners
typically have an incentive to put in
landscaping functionally equivalent to
final stabilization as quick as possible to
keep mud out of their homes and off
their sidewalks and driveways .); or
3 . For construction projects on land
used for agricultural purposes (e.g.,
pipelines across crop or range land).
final stabilization may be accomplished
by returning the disturbed land to its
preconstruction agricultural use. Areas
disturbed that were not previously used
for agricultural activities . such as buffer
strips immediately adjacent to "waters
of the United States." and areas which
are not being returned to their
preconstruction agricultural use must
meet the final stabilization criteria in (1)
or (2) above .

Addendum A-Endangered Species
I. Instructions for Applicants
A. Background
To meet its obligations under the Clean
Water Act and the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) and to promote those Acts' goals . the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
seeking to ensure the activities regulated by
the Construction General Permit (CGP) are
protective of endangered and threatened
species and critical habitat. To ensure that
those goals are met. applicants for CGP
coverage are required under Part I.B .3 .e . to
assess the impacts of their storm water
discharges and storm water discharge-related
activities on Federally listed endangered and
threatened species ("listed species ") and
designated critical habitat ("critical habitat")
by following Steps On e through Six listed
below . EPA strongly recommends that
applicants follow these steps at the earliest
possible stage to ensure that measures to
protect listed species and critical habitat are
incorporated early in the planning process.
At minimum. the procedures should be
followed when developing the storm water
pollution prevention plan.
Permittees and applicants also have an
independent ESA obligation to ensure that
their activities do not result in any prohibited
"takes " of listed species.1 Many of the
measures required in the CGP and in these
instructions to protect species may also assist
permittees in ensuring that their construction
activities do not result in a prohibited take
of species in violation of§ 9 of the ESA .
Applicants who plan construction activities
in areas that harbor endangered and
threatened species are advised to ensure that
' Section 9 of the ESA prohibits any person from
"taking " a lis ted species (e .g .. harassing or ha rming
it) unless: (1) the taking is authorized through a
"incidental take statement" as part of undergoing
ESA § 7 formal cons ultation: (2) where an
incidental take permit is obtained under ESA § 10
(which requires the development of a habitat
conservation plan): or (3) where otherwise
au thorized or exempted under the ESA. This
prohibition applies to all entities including private
individuals. businesses. and governments.
36512 Federal Register /Vol. 63 . No. 128 /Mo nday . July 6 . 1998/Notices
they are protected from potential tak ings
liability under ESA § 9 by obtaini ng either an
ESA § 10 permit o r by requesting formal
consu ltation under ESA § 7 (as described in
more detail in Step Seven below). Applicants
who seek protection from takings liability
s hould be aware that it is p ossib le that some
specific co nstruction activities may be too
unrelated to storm water disc harges to be
afforded incidental take coverage through an
ESA § 7 consultation that is performed to
meet the elig ibility requirements for CGP
coverage . In such instances . applicants
should apply for an ESA § 10 permit. Wh ere
applicants are not sure whether to pursue a
§ I 0 permit or a § 7 consultation for takings
protection . they should confer with the
appropriate Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
or National Marine Fisheri es Service (NMFS)
office .
This permit provides for the possibility of
multiple permittees at a construction site.
Applicants should be aware that in many
cases they can meet the permit eligibility
requirements by relying on another operator 's
certification of eligib ility under Part
I.B.3.e .(2)(a), (b), or (c). This is allowed under
Part I.B .3.e .(2)(d) of the permit. However, the
other operator's certification must apply to
the applicant's project area and must address
the effects from the applicant's storm water
discharges and storm water discharge-related
activities on listed species and critical
habitat. By certifying e li gibility under Part
I.B .3.e .(2)(d). the applicant agrees to comply
with any measures or controls upon which
the other operator 's certification under Part
I.B .3.e .(2)(a). (b) or (c) was based . This
situation will typically occur where a
developer or primary contractor. such as one
for construction of a subdivision or industrial
park , conducts a comprehensive assessment
of effects on listed species and critical habitat
for the entire construction project, certifies
eligibility under Part I.B.3.e.(2)(a), (b) or (c),
and that certification is relied upon by other
operators (i.e., contractors) at the site .
However, applicants th at consider relying on
another operator's ce rtifi cation should
carefully review that certification a long with
any supporting information . If an applicant
does not believe that the operator's
certification provides adequate coverage for
the applicant 's storm water discharges and
storm water discharge-related activities or for
the applicant's particular project area , the
applicant should provide its own
independent certification under Part
I.B .3.e.(2)(a). (b), or (c).
B. Procedures
To receive coverage under the Construction
General Permit, applicants must assess the
potential effects of their storm water
discharges and storm water discharge-related
activities on listed species and their critical
habitat . To make this assessment, ap plicants
must follow the steps outlined below prior to
completing and submitting Notice of Intent
(NOi) form. Applicants who are able to
certify eligibility under Parts l.B .3.e.(2)(b). (c)
or (d) because of a previously issued ESA
§ I 0 permit, a previously completed ESA § 7
consultation. or because the applicant's
activities were already addressed in another
operator's certification of eligibility may
proceed directly to Step Six.
Note.-The revised NOi fo rm wh ich was
in cl uded in the CGP (see 62 FR 29822-29823 .
June 2. 1997) requires that app li ca nts provide
d etailed certification information on li sted
species. That form is still under development
and is not ex pected to be finali zed before this
permit is issued . Until the rev ised NOi form
is finali ze d , applicants must us e the existing
NOi form which does not conta in the specific
certification provisions relating to listed
species and critical habitats at construction
projects . However. use of the existing NOi
form does not relieve applicants of their
obligation to follow the procedures listed
be low to d ete rmine if their construction
storm water discharges or storm water
discharge-related activities meet permit
eligibility requirements for the protection of
listed species and critical habitat. By
fo ll owing these instructions, appl icants will
have sufficient information on listed species
and critical habitat in order to com pl ete
either the existing or revised NOi form and
sign the certification statement .
Step One: Determine if the Construction Site
ls Found Within Designated Critica l Habitat
for Listed Species
Some . but not all. listed species have
designated critical habitat. Exact locations of
such habitat is provided in the Service
regulations at 50 CFR Parts 17 and 226. To
determine if their construction site occurs
within designated critical habitat, applicants
should either:
• Contact the nearest Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) and National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) Office . A list of FWS and
NMFS offices is found in Section II of this
Addendum ; or
• Contact the State or Tribal Nat ural
Heritage Centers. These centers compile and
disseminate information on Federally listed
and other protected species. They fr equently
have the most current information on listed
species and critical habitat. A list of these
centers is provided in Section III of this
Addendum; or
• Review those regulations (which can be
found in many larger libraries).
If the construction site is not located in
designated critical habitat, then the applicant
does not need to consider impacts to critical
habitat when following Steps Two through
Six below . If the site is located within critical
habitat, then the applicant must look at
impacts to critical habitat when following
Steps Two through Six. Note that many but
n ot all measures imposed to protect listed
species under these steps will also protect
critical habitat. Thus, meeting the eligibility
requirements of this permit may require
measures to protect critical habitat that are
separate from those to protect listed species.
Seep Two: Determine if Listed Species Are
Located in the County(ies) Where the
Construction Activity Will Occur
Section IV of the Addendum contains a
county-by-county list of listed endangered
and threatened species ("listed species"), and
proposed endangered and threatened species
("proposed species"). Since the list was
current as of September 1, 1997 , applicants
m ust also check with other sources for
updated species and county information.
These sources in clu de : Sections 11 and III of
this Adde ndum ; EPA 's Office of Wastewater
Management's web page at "http://
www.e pa .gov/owm" where updates of the
county-by-co unty list will be posted on a
p eriodic basis; Federal Register Notices ;
S tate wild life protection offi ces ; a biologist or
simila r professi onal in the environmental
field; or any other method which can be
reas onably ex pected to provide this
information . Applicants with construction
projects located in EPA Region 2 and Region
6 can call the Storm Water General Permits
Hotline at (800) 245-6510 for further
ass istance, while applicants with proj ects
located in EPA Regions I, 3, 7 . 8 . 9 and 10
may contact the appropriate EPA Regional
Office .
Where a facility is loc ated in more than
one county . the lists for all counties should
be reviewed . Where a fac ility discharges into
a water body which serves as a border
between counties or which crosses a county
line which is in the immediate vicinity of the
point of discharge . applicants should also
review the species list for the county which
lies immediately downstream or is across the
water body from the point of discharge.
After a review of the available information
from the sources mentioned above . if no
listed species are located in a facility's
county or if a facility's county is not listed,
and the construction site is not located in
crit ica l habitat as described under Step One .
an ap plicant is eligible for CGP coverage
without further inquiry into the presence of.
or effec t to. listed species. The applicant
must check the appropriate certification item
on the revised NOi form (Part I.B .3.e .(2)(a)).
Once the applicant has determined which
listed species are located in his or her
facility's county, the applicant must follow
Step Three.
Step Three: Determine if any Federally Listed
Endangered and Threatened Species May Be
Present in the Project Area
The project area consists of:
• The areas on the construction site where
storm water discharges originate and flow
toward the point of discharge into the
receivi ng waters (including areas where
excavation, site development, or other
grou nd disturbance activities occur) and the
immediate vicinity.
Example(s)
1. Where bald eagles nest in a tree that is
on or bordering a construction site and could
be disturbed by the construction activity.
2. Where grading causes storm water to
flow into a small wetland or other habitat
that is on the site which contains listed
species .
• The areas where storm water discharges
flow from the constructio n site to the point
of discharge into receiving waters.
Examp le(s)
I . Where storm water flows into a ditch.
swale. or gully which leads to receiving
waters and where listed species (such as
amphi bians) are found in the ditch , swale, or
gully.
• The areas where storm water from
constr uction activities discharge into
receivi ng waters and the areas in the
immediate vicinity of the point of discharge .
Federal Register /Vol. 63. No. 128 /Monday. July 6 . 1998/Notices 36513
Example(s)
I. Where storm water from construction
activ ities discharges into a stream segment
that is known to harbor listed aquatic
species.
• The areas where storm water BMPs will
be constructed and operated, including any
areas where storm water flows to and from
BMPs.
Example(s)
I. Where a storm water retention pond
would be built.
The project area will vary with the size and
structure of the construction activity, the
nature and quantity of the storm water
discharges. the storm water discharge-related
activities and the type of receiving water.
Given the number of construction activities
potentially covered by the CGP . no specific
method to determine whether listed species
may be located in the project area is required
for coverage under the CGP . Instead,
applicants should use the method which
allows them to determine, to the best of their
knowledge. whether listed species are
located in their project area. These methods
may in clude:
• Conducting visual inspections: This
method may be particularly suitable for
construction sites that are smaller in size or
located in non-natu ral settings such as highly
urbanized areas or industrial parks where
there is little or no nat ural habitat, or for
construction activities that discharge directly
into municipal storm water collection
systems .
• Contacting the nearest State or Tribal
wildlife agency. the Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS). or the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). Many endangered
and threatened species are found in well-
defined areas or habitats. Such information is
frequently known to State, Tribal. or Federal
wildlife agencies. A list of FWS and NMFS
offices is provided in Section II of this
Addendum below .
• Contacting local/regional co n servat ion
groups or the State or Tribal Natural Heritage
Centers (see Section III of this Addendum).
State and local conservation groups may have
location specific listed species information.
The Natural Heritage Centers inventory
species and their locations and maintain lists
of sightings and habitats.
• Submitting a data request to a Natural
Heritage Center. Many of these centers will
provide site specific information on the
presence of listed species in a project area.
Some of these centers will charge a fee for
researc hing data requests .
• Cond u cting a forma l biological survey.
Larger construction sites with extensive
storm water discharges may choose to
conduct biological surveys as the most
effective way to assess whether species are
located in the project area and whether there
are likely adverse effec ts. Biological surv eys
are freq uently performed by environmental
consulting firms . A biological survey can be
used to follow Steps Four through Six of
these instructions.
• Conducting an e nvi ronmental
assessment under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Some
construction activities may require
en v ironmental assessments und er NEPA.
Such assessments may indicate if listed
species are in the project area . Coverage
under the CGP does not trigger such an
assessment because the permit does not
regu late any dischargers subject to New
Source Performance Standards under Section
306 of the Clean Water Act. and is thus
statutorily exempted from NEPA. See CWA
§ 511 (c). However. some construction
activities might require revi ew under NEPA
because of Federal fund ing or other Federal
involvement in the project.
If no species are fou nd in the project area.
an applicant is eligib le for CGP coverage .
Applicants must provide th e necessary
certification on the revised NOi form. If listed
species are found in the project area.
applicants must indicate the location and
nature of this presence in the storm water
pollution prevention plan and follow Step
Four.
Step Four: De termine if Listed Species or
Critical Habitat Are Likely To Be Adversely
Affected by the Constru ction Activity's Storm
Water Discharges or Storm Water Discharge -
Related Activities
To receive CGP coverage . applicants must
assess whether their storm water discharges
or storm water discharge-related activities are
likely to adversely affect listed species or
critical habitat. "Storm water discharge-
related activities " include:
• Activities which cau se. contribute to , or
result in point source storm water pollutant
discharges, including but not limited to
excavation, site development. grading. and
other surface disturbance activities; and
• Measures to control storm water
discharges including the siting. construction ,
operation of best management practices
(BMPs) to control. reduce or prevent s torm
water pollution.
Potential adverse effec ts from storm water
discharges and storm water discharge-related
activities include:
• Hydrological . Storm water discharges
may cause siltation. sedime ntation or induce
other changes in receiving waters such as
temperature, salinity o r pH . These effects
will vary with the amount of storm water
discharged and the volum e and condition of
the receiving water. Where a storm water
discharge constitutes a minute portion of the
to tal volume of the receiving water, adverse
hydrological effects are Jess likely.
Construction activity itself may also alter
drainage patterns on a site where
construction occurs which can impact listed
species or critical habitat .
• Habitat. Excavation, site deve lopment,
grading, and other surface disturbance
activities from construction activities,
including the installation or placement of
storm water BMPs . may adversely affect
listed species or their habitat. Storm water
may drain or inundate li sted species h a bitat.
• Toxicity. In some cases, pollutants in
storm water may have toxic effects on listed
species.
The scope of effects to consider will vary
with each site. If the applicant is having
difficulty in determining whether his or h er
proj ect is likely to adversely Affect a li sted
species or critical habitat, then the
a ppropriate office of the FWS . NMFS or
Na tural Heritage Center listed in Sections II
and Ill of this Addendum should be
contacted for assistance. If ad ve rse effec ts are
not likely. then the applicant should make
the appropr iate certification on the revised
NO i form and apply fo r coverage under the
permit. If adverse effects are likely .
app li cants must follow Step Five .
Step Five: Determine if Measures Can Be
Implemented To A void Any Adverse Effects
If an applic ant makes a preliminary
determination that adverse effects are likely.
it can still receive coverage under Part
l.B.3 .e.(2) (a) of the CGP if appropriate
measures are undertaken to avoid or
eliminate the likelihood of adverse effects
prior to applying for permit coverage . These
measures may involve relatively simple
changes to construction activities such as re -
routing a storm water discharge to bypass an
area where species are located. relocating
BMPs. or by changing the "footprint" of the
construction activity. Applicants may wish to
contact the FWS and/or NMFS to see what
approp ri ate measures might be suitable to
avo id or eliminate the likelihood of advers e
impacts to listed species and/or critical
habitat. (See 50 CFR 402.13(b).) This can
entail the initiation of informal consultation
with the FWS and/or NMFS which is
described in more detail in Step Six .
If applicants adopt measures to avoid or
eli minate adverse effects, t hey must continu e
to abide by those measu res during the course
of permit coverage. These measures must be
described in the storm water pollution
prevention plan and may be enforceable as
permit conditions. If appropriate measures to
avoid the likelihood of adverse effects are n ot
availab le to the applicant, the applicant must
follow Step Six .
Step Six: Determine ifthe Eligibility
Requirements of Part I.B.3.e.(2)(b)-(d) Ca n Be
Met
Whe re adverse effects are likely. the
app licant must contact the EPA and FWS/
NMFS. Applicants may still be eligible for
CGP coverage if any likely adverse effects can
be addressed through meeting the criteria of
Part I.B.3.e .(2)(b)-(d) of the permit. These
criteria are as follows:
1. An ESA Section 7 Consultation Is
Performed for the Applicant's Activity (See
Part I.B .3 .e .(2)(b)
Formal or informal ESA § 7 consultation is
performed with the FWS and/or NMFS
which addresses the effects of the applicant's
storm water discharges and storm water
discharge-related activities on listed species
and critical habitat. The formal consultation
must result in either a "no jeopardy opinion "
o r a "jeopardy opinion " that identifies
reasonable and prudent alternatives to avoid
jeopardy which are to be imp lemented by the
applicant. The informal consultation must
result in a written concurrence by the
Service(s) on a finding that the applicant's
storm water d ischarge(s) and storm water
discharge-related activities are not likely to
adversely affect listed species or critical
habi tat (for informal consultation . see 50 CFR
402.13).
36514 Federal Register /Vol. 63 . No. 128/Monday. July 6 . 1998/Notices
Most consul tat io ns are accomplished
through informal consultation. By the terms
of this permit, EPA has automatically
designated app licants as non-Federal
representatives for the purpose of conducting
informal co nsultations . S ee Part I.B .3.e.(5)
and 50 CFR 402.08 and 402.13. When
conducting informal ESA § 7 consultation as
a non-Federal represe ntative. applicants must
follow the procedures found in 50 CFR 402
of the ESA regulations.
Applicants must also notify EPA and the
Services of their intention and agreement to
conduct consultation as a non-Federal
representative . Consultation may occur in the
context of another Federal action at the
construction site (e.g .. where ESA § 7
consultation was performed for issuance of a
wetlands dredge and fill permit for the
project or where a NEPA review is performed
for the project which incorporates a section
7 consultation). Any terms and conditions
developed through consultations to protect
listed species and critical habitat must be
incorporated into the SWPPP . As noted
above, applicants may . if they wish. initiate
consultation with th e Services at Step Five.
Whether ESA § 7 co nsultation must be
performed with either the FWS, NMFS or
both Services depends on the listed species
which may be affected by the applicant's
activity. In general, NMFS has jurisdiction
over marine , estuarine. and anadrornous
species. Applicants should also be aware that
while formal § 7 co ns ultation provides
protection from incidental takings liability,
informal consultation does not.
2. An Incidental Taking Permit Under
Section 10 of the ESA Is Issued for the

NARRATIVE
INTRODUCTION
The project site is a rectangular shaped tract of approximately 12.466 acres located in
College Station, Texas, lying west of the intersection of State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie
and described as Lot 1, Block Two of L.O . Ball Memorial Subdivision Phase II. The project
includes construction of underground utilities, parking facilities, and a grocery store .
A storm water management system will be constructed to manage runoff from the proposed
facility and area draining through or across the project site. In addition to the parking and
storm water management facilities, landscaping will be added in accordance with local
requirements to mitigate any adverse affects produced by the development and enhance the
aesthetic appeal of the area.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is currently vacant. The site is bordered to the north by Rock Prairie Road, to the
west by Longmire Drive (Proposed), the east by State Highway 6 and the south by
Birmingham Street. The entire site is clear and covered wild grasses.
The soil type is described as firm clayey/silty sand and sandy silt from 0-2 feet below grade
by the Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Kenneth E. Tand & Associates, Inc.
The property is included in the drainage design for State Highway No. 6 as part of
Drainage Area No . 1-A and 1-D. The Drainage Area Map for TxDOT Project No F4 71 (32)
indicates that the existing drainage system was designed to accommodate a discharge rate
of 83 cfs from Drainage Area No. 1-D (see Appendix).
The site currently drains to the southwest towards Birmingham and SH 6. The site currently
drains via sheet flow to the Birmingham Street and across the S.H. 6 frontage road into the
existing drainage ditch . The TxDOT drainage system eventually discharges to Lick Creek.
PROPOSED CONDITIONS
The project includes construction of a stormwater management system to manage storm
water runoff from the proposed facility. The site will be graded to direct the runoff generated
by the proposed development to an internal site drainage system connected to on site
detention ponds. The proposed on-site drainage system will improve the existing conditions
by providing on site detention, limiting the discharge rate and providing a dedicated
conveyance system to route the flow under the frontage road.
The on site drainage system is designed to provide a detention storage volume of 1. 7 4
\\CAD_SERVER\WORK\WORK\98-057-00\DRAINAGE REPT.DOC
acre-feet and a discharge rate of 29.08 c.f.s. The proposed discharge rate (29.08 c.f.s.)
is less than half of the allowable discharge rate (83 c.f.s.) for this site.
During construction, measures will be taken to control erosion and sedimentation in
accordance with the requirements of the current NPDES permit. The Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan and Best Management Practices report include detailed instructions to the
contractor in this regard .

Notes:
• Per City Fire MaTShal, the individual unit calculations can be used in lieu of the combined
calculation, although the combined results are more prudent.
• The smaller pads for Retail Building "B" and future pads C, D, and E will have smaller
water demands, therefore calculations are not necessary .
Should you have any questions or require and further assistance, please do not hesitate to

Re: Rock Prairie Crossing Shopping Center
Dear Mr. Tondre:
Please find enclosed a set ofrevised civil site construction plans along with a set of your previous mark-
ups, submitted for final approval.
In regard to your letter dated September 27, 1999 we offer the following :
•
•
•
As indicated in the report, we are providing on site detention for the difference between
predevelopment and post-development runoff.
The 2 -year discharge rate is less than the predevelopment runoff. The maximum I 00 -year event
discharge rate as shown in the report calculations is 72 .99 cfs. This is less than the allowable discharge
rate of 83 cfs.
As shown in the report, the peak discharge rate has a negligible effect (0.0007') on the downstream
water surface.

This is in response to the drainage report received by Fed-Ex on September 24, 1999, for the
above-mentioned project.
I reviewed the calculations submitted, and have found that the information submitted is not
complete. With the exception of outlet works design and sizing calculations, the report would be
complete for a site with a single detention pond. This is based upon the triangular hydrograph
method described in the Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DPDS). However, the design
appears to incorporate eight ponding areas, which may be hydraulically inter-connected . The
outlet works design, which limits discharge flows to no more than pre-developed flows must be
included in the report. Supporting documentation, which should include the effect of inter-basin
flow if necessary, should be included in the report.
Final design plans incorporating the detention design and addressing water line comments, will
be required prior to issuance of a development permit. As you were previously informed, all
work proceeding on the site is at the developer's risk. Work within the rights-of-way and the
placement of impervious cover on the site is not currently authorized.
If you have any questions, or need further information, please call me at (409) 764-3570.

College Station , TX 77842
This is in response to the interim drainage calculations received by fax September 20, 1999, for
the above-mentioned project.
I briefly reviewed the calculations submitted, and would advise you to review pages 70 through
75 of the City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DPDS). This section
outlines acceptable methods to determine the volume required for providing stormwater
detention. Based upon the information submitted, I could not interpret the method you have
presented or it's acceptability. If you wish to use this method for purposes other than preliminary
sizing, additional documentation of this method will be necessary. With the documentation, the
method can be evaluated comparatively to methods described in the DPDS.
If you have any questions, or need further information, please call me at ( 409) 764-3570.

Review Comments
9/13/1999
Drainage Report
• Provide a statement that there is no adverse impact down stream as a result of this
development and provide supporting analysis.
• Provide evidence that TxDOT will accept a flow of 83 cfs being discharged into their R.O.W .
(in writing from the Area Engineer's office). Include a description of where it is allo w ed to
discharge.
• Provide a detailed breakdown of all times of concentration. Include a map with flow paths
and a breakdown for each flow segment.
Construction Plans
• As has been stated since the first review, all pipe deflections need to be shown in %, degrees
or radius -with begin/end curve, and not at joint.
• Steel waterlines are not within the City specs . These should be either PVC or Ductile Iron.
• Lines to fire hydrants must be public . Need to show profiles for all public lines . Public lines
will require a public utility easement.
• Fire flow analysis shows that the 8" lines are required to both fire hydrants .
• On page C-1 , elevations in TxDOT R.O .W . seem to indicate that flow is back into culvert .
Need to smooth out grading in this area.
• Page 3 of7, shows the City Limit line incorrectly.
• Tx dot requires R.C .P . in R .O .W .

Re : Final Drainage Report

Tef. 409 764 3500
Col le ge Station , TX 778 42
This is in response to the final drainage report submitted August 30 , 1999, for the above -
mentioned project.
On April 1, 1999 a meeting was held between your staff, TxDOT Area Engineer 's staff, and City
staff to discuss methods of handling stormwater runoff from this site. That meeting concluded the
necessity of either providing onsite detention or demonstrating that the increases in stormwater
runoff would not produce any adverse impacts to downstream property owners (including TxDO T
structures). The second option would require a detailed analysis of the downstream effects .
In July we received a report which stated that detention was not required, but no impact analysis of
the downstream systetn was included. The impact analysis or a detention analysis was requested in
response to this report . Subsequent phone conversations with you indicated that you would be
providing detention within the parking lot and stormsewer pipe. In addition, the area south of the
Kroger building showed detention ponding areas. A TxDOT utility permit was issued with the
assumption that on-site detention was being provided .
The final drainage report, which was received last week, continues the concept of not providing
onsite detention . However, this report still does not include an impact analysis with demonstrates
that the development is not "dangerous to health, safety, or property by causing increases in water
surface elevation, velocities , or flow rates". Although this site alone may only slight impact on
stormwater flows, the cumulative effect of multiple developments discharging fully developed
flows may have a very significant impact.
This is the primary issue that needs to be addressed. In addition, we will be issuing comments
regarding the water line, grading , and other portions of the drainage report in the next few days ,
which must be resolved prior to issuance of a development permit. Please provide along with the
impact analysis , a letter fromTxDOT accepting fully developed flows into their R.O.W.

It has been brought to my attention that the contractor is currently proceeding with construction of
the storrnsewer system without a permit. lbis work is being pursued at your own risk . Work
should not extend into Tx.DOT RO.W. at this time. Inspections of the water lines can not be done
prior to final approval of plans and imperious cover may not be placed on the site until the final
development permit is issued .
If you have any questions, or need further information, please feel free me at (409) 764-3570.

RE: Rock Prairie Crossing Shopping Center
CLR Job No: 98-057-00
Dear Mr. C~lloway:
Pursuant to Mr. Jeff Tondre's request for additional information regarding the drainage design for the
referenced project, we offer the following to better clarify the design theory:
• The theoretical water surface elevation (see column labeled -Hydraulic Gradient
Upstream" for the 2-year storm) was calculated using Manning's equation. The computed
water surface elevations should be compared to the seal point elevations shown in the
"Notes" column. A theoretical water surface elevation whid'l exceeds the corresponding
top of grate elevation (shown in the "Notes" column) indicates on-pavement ponding (i.e.
stormwater detention).
• As indicated in the previously submitted September 1999 Drainage Report, the rainfall
intensity was modified to account for this on-site detention by iterating intensity values until
the hydraulic grade line corresponded with actual design conditions (i.e., water surface
elevation to match seal point in pavement.) The peak discharge was determined using
Manning's equation and the modified intensity value .
• The required detention volume was calculated using the methods outlined in the City of
College Station Design Manual, as documented in the previously submitted report. fts
indicated therein , the actual volume of detention provided exc.eeds this required detention
amount.
We appreciate you help in securing the City's approval. Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
COBOURN LINSEISEN & RATCLIFF, INC.

Mr. Burnett,

Tet. 409 764 3500
College Station , TX 77842
This is in response to the interim drainage calculations received by fa x September 20, 1999, for
the above-mentioned project.
I briefly reviewed the calculations submitted, and would advise you to review pages 70 through
75 of the City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DPDS). This section
outlines acceptable methods to determine the volume required for providing stormwater
detention. Based upon the information submitted, I could not interpret the method you have
presented or it's acceptability. If you wish to use this method for purposes other than preliminary
sizing, additional documentation of this method will be necessary. With the documentation, the
method can be evaluated comparatively to methods described in the DPDS.
If you have any questions, or need further information, please call me at (409) 764-3570.
Sincerely,
~Ji /-4-K-

Drainage Report
Review Comments
9/13/1999
• Provide a statement that there is no adverse impact down stream as a result of this
development and provide supporting analysis .
• Provide evidence that TxDOT will accept a flow of 83 cfs being discharged into their R.O .W .
(in writing from the Area Engineer's office). Include a description of where it is allowed to
discharge .
• Provide a detailed breakdown of all times of concentration . Include a map with flow paths
and a breakdown for each flow segment .
Construction Plans
• As has been stated since the first review, all pipe deflections need to be shown in%, degrees
or radius -with begin/end curve, and not at joint.
• Steel waterlines are not within the City specs. These should be either PVC or Ductile Iron.
• Lines to fire hydrants must be public . Need to show profiles for all public lines . Public lines
will require a public utility easement.
• Fire flow analysis shows that the 8" lines are required to both fire hydrants .
• On page C-1 , elevations in TxDOT R.O .W . seem to indicate that flow is back into culvert .
Need to smooth out grading in this area.
• Page 3of7, shows the City Limit line incorrectly.
• Txdot requires R.C .P . in R.O .W.

Re: Final Drainage Report
Rock Pr:affie Crossing Shopping Center
Mr. Burnett,
1101 Texas Avenue
Tet. 409 764 3500
College Station , TX 77842
This is in response to the final drainage report submitted August 30, 1999, for the above-
mentioned project.
On April 1, 1999 a meeting was held between your staff, TxDOT Area Engineer's staff, and City
staff to discuss methods of handling stormwater runoff from this site. That meeting concluded the
necessity of either providing onsite detention or demonstrating that the increases in stormwater
runoff would not produce any adverse impacts to downstream property owners (including TxDOT
structures). The second option would require a detailed analysis of the downstream effects.
In July we received a report which stated that detention was not required, but no impact analysis of
the downstream system was included. The impact analysis or a detention analysis was requested in
response to this report. Subsequent phone conversations with you indicated that you would be
providing detention within the parking lot and stormsewer pipe. In addition, the area south of the
Kroger building showed detention ponding areas . A TxDOT utility permit was issued with the
assumption that on-site detention was being provided .
The final drainage report, which was received last week, continues the concept of not providing
onsite detention . However, this report still does not include an impact analysis with demonstrates
that the development is not "dangerous to health, safety, or property by causing increases in water
surface elevation, velocities, or flow rates". Although this site alone may on1y slight impact on
stormwater flows, the cumulative effect of multiple developments discharging fully developed
flows may have a very significant impact.
This is the primary issue that needs to be addressed . In addition, we will be issuing comments
regarding the water line, grading, and other portions of the drainage report in the next few days,
which must be resolved prior to issuance of a development permit. Please provide along with the
impact analysis, a letter fromTxDOT accepting fully developed flows into their R.O .W .
Home of Texas A&M University
It has been brought to my attention that the contractor is currently proceeding with construction of
the stonnsewer system without a permit. 1bis work is being pursued at your own risk . Work
should not extend into TxDOT R.O .W . at this time. Inspections of the water lines can not be done
prior to final approval of plans and imperious cover may not be placed on the site until the final
development permit is issued.
If you have any questions, or need further information, please feel free me at (409) 764-3570.

Re: Rock Prairie Crossing Shopping Center -Drainage Report
Mr. Burnett,
College Station, T X 77842
The drainage calculations that we received for the above-mentioned project were not sealed. Per the
Texas Engineering Practice Act, a public official of this state or a political subdivision of the state who is
charged with the enforcement of laws, ordinances, codes or regulations that affect the practice of
engineering may only accept plans, specifications, and other related documents prepared by a licensed
engineer as evidenced by the seal of an engineer. Preliminary documents released shaii identify the
purpose of the document, the engineer of record and the engineer license number; and the release date by
placing the following text or similar wording instead of a seal. Said document is released for the purpose
of interim review, under the authority of the engineer with license number and date of release shown.
An initial evaluation of the submittal did reveal that most of the standard information that is typically
included in drainage reports (and required by the City of College Station) was not included. The City's
Drainage Policies and Design Standards Manual (DPDS), pages 91-94, lists items that should be included
in drainage reports. Attached is a copy of those pages from the DPDS. Of these items, the most pressing
is the certification sheet, which states that the drainage design is in accordance with the provisions of the
City of College Station Drainage Policy and Design Standards.
lfyou have any questions, or need further information, please feel free to call Jeff Tondre, or myself at
(409) 764-3570.

Re: Plans Check for Rock Prairie Crossing Shopping Center
Dear Veronica :
I have reviewed the construction plans and drainage report that were provided to me on
the above referenced subdivision. Please review the following comments regarding may
review:
• The information that was provided for review did not contain any engineer's
estimate for the portions of the job that will be public infrastructure .
"k.-• There are no plan and profile drawings for the sewer lines (public portions).
~It. • The water line plans that are contained in the Architect's plans are not signed or
sealed and neither is the drainage report. (I believe this to be a violation of the
state regulations and should be pointed out to them .)
• The drainage report lacks the following information :
• Hydrologic Criteria
• Hydraulic Criteria
• Drainage Facility Design
• There is no statement by the engineer of compliance of the DPDS .
• Hydrologic and/or Hydraulic computations.
• The plans reference City of Houston Specs which is inappropriate.
• The cross slopes on sidewalks does not meet T.AS. and AD.A requirements
for handicap access routes
• It was requested that they provide a fire flow analysis. In response to the
analysis, we received is a listing of the needs of the different retail areas on the
site . The engineer should understand that this means a calculation of his
designed system to see if it meets the needs stated in the information from
SAFE, Inc.
..

It would be my recommendation that the plans and drainage report be returned to them
with a copy of the checklist and instructions to return them when the checklist is satisfied .

Re : Check Water Line Plans and Drainage Report for Rock Prairie Crossing
I have checked the above referenced Water line plans and find them to be acceptable in
accordance with the checklist attached.
In reviewing the Drainage Report I find the following:
• Using the Rational method the Pre-Development 100 yr. runoff is 40.4 cfs
• Using the Hydrograph Methodology the Post-Development 100 yr. runoff is
119 cfs.
• Using the Rational method the Post-Development 100 yr. runoff is 119.3 cfs.
• Using what is termed the Hydraulic Gradient Analysis and a factor referred
to as the "effective intensity" the 100 yr. runoff from the site is 72 .99 cfs .
• Mr. Radford in his letter dated September 29th states that they are providing
detention for the difference between Pre and Post Development runoff and
I cannot determine that from the report. He also states that they plan to
discharge the 100 yr. runoff rate calculated at 72.99 cfs into the ditch
between the service road and the main lanes of State Hwy 6 South.
• On the last page of the drainage report a calculation is made that shows a
negligible effect on the water surface elevation at Lick Creek for the
discharge of the difference between Pre and Post 100 yr. runoff using the
72.99 cfs figure for the Post-Development condition. If you accept this
figure of 72.99 cfs and its discharge into the ditch then the only question is
whether TxDOT will accept this flow in their R.O.W.

Re: Drainage Report
Rock Prairie Crossing Shopping Center
Mr. Burnett,
1101 Texas Avenue
Tel : 409 764 3500
College Station, TX 77842
This is in response to the drainage report received by Fed -Ex on September 24, 1999, for the
above-mentioned project.
I reviewed the calculations submitted, and have found that the information submitted is not
complete. With the exception of outlet works design and sizing calculations , the report would be
complete for a site with a single detention pond. This is based upon the triangular hydrograph
method described in the Drainage Policy and Design Standards (DPDS). However, the design
appears to incorporate eight ponding areas, which may be hydraulically inter-connected. The
outlet works design, which limits discharge flows to no more than pre-developed flows must be
included in the report. Supporting documentation , which should include the effect of inter-basin
flow if necessary, should be included in the report.
Final design plans incorporating the detention design and addressing water line comments, will
be required prior to issuance of a development permit. As you were previou sly inforn1ed, all
work rroceeding on the site is at the developer's risk . Work within the rights-of-way and the
placement of impervious cover on the site is not currently authorized.
If you have any questions, or need further informa tion, please call me at (409) 764-3570.
Sincerely,

Re : Plans Check for Rock Prairie Crossing Shopping Center
Dear Veronica :
I have reviewed the construction plans and drainage report that were provided to me on
the above referenced subdivision . Please review the following comments regarding may
review:
• The information that was provided for review did not conta in any engineer's
estimate for the portions of the job that will be public infrastructure .
-• There are no plan and profile drawings for the sewer lines (public portions).
~It. • The water line plans that are contained in the Architect's plans are not signed o r
sealed and neither is the drainage report . (I believe this to be a violat ion of the
state regulations and should be pointed out to them .)
• The drainage report lacks the following information :
• Hydrologic Criteria
• Hydraulic Criteria
• Drainage Facility Design
• There is no statement by the engineer of compliance of the DPDS.
• Hydrologic and/or Hydraulic computations .
• The plans reference City of Houston Specs which is inappropriate .
• The cross slopes on sidewalks does not meet T.A.S . and AD.A. requirements
for handicap access routes
• It was requested that they provide a fire flow analysis. In response to the
analysis , we received is a listing of the needs of the different retail areas on the
site . The engineer should understand that this means a calculation of h is
designed system to see if it meets the needs stated in the information from
SAFE , Inc.

Re : Final Drainage Report
Rock P~rie Crossing Shopping Center
Mr. Burnett,.
1101 Texas Avenue
Tet. 409 764 3500
College Station , TX 77842
This is in response to the final drainage report submitted August 30, 1999, for the above-
mentioned project.
On April 1, 1999 a meeting was held between your staff, TxDOT Area Engineer's staff, and City
staff to discuss methods of handling stormwater runoff from this site. That meeting concluded the
necessity of either providing onsite detention or demonstrating that the increases in stormwater
runoff would not produce any adverse impacts to downstream property owners (including TxDOT
structures). The second option would require a detailed analysis of the downstream effects .
In July we received a report which stated that detention was not required, but no impact analysis of
the downstream system was included . The impact analysis or a detention analysis was requested in
response to this report. Subsequent phone conversations with you indicated that you would be
providing detention within the parking lot and stormsewer pipe . In addition, the area south of the
Kroger building showed detention ponding areas . A TxDOT utility permit was issued with the
assumption that on-site detention was being provided.
The final drainage report, which was received last week, continues the concept of not providing
onsite detention . However, this report still does not include an impact analysis with demonstrates
that the development is not "dangerous to health, safety, or property by causing increases in water
surface elevation, velocities, or flow rates". Although this site alone may only slight impact on
stormwater flows, the cumulative effect of multiple developments discharging fully developed
flows may have a very significant impact.
This is the primary issue that needs to be addressed . In addition, we will be issuing comments
regarding the water line, grading, and other portions of the drainage report in the next few days ,
which must be resolved prior to issuance of a development permit. Please provide along with the
impact analysis , a letter fromTxDOT accepting fully developed flows into their R .O.W.
Home of Texas A&M University
It has been brought to my attention that the contractor is currently proceeding with construction of
the stonnsewer system without a permit. This work is being pursued at your own risk . Work
should not extend into TxDOT R.O .W . at this time. Inspections of the water lines can not be done
prior to final approval of plans and imperious cover may not be placed on the site until the final
development permit is issued.
If you have any questions, or need further information, please feel free me at (409) 764-3570 .
Sincerely,
