The site is bordered on the north by Walmart, on the south by Pizza Hut, on the east by Route 9, and on the west by residential homes. The Owner/Applicant is proposing to construct a 16,000 square foot retail building, associated pavement, utilities, and stonnwater management area for water quality treatment utilizing Green Infrastructure Techniques. Access to the site will be provided from Route 9. ABD Engineers,LLP 3 Harbor Freight Tools 4917.4-SWPPP 871 USRoute9 According to the Warren Co-unty NRC S, the primary hydrologic soil group is Type A loam fine sand. The existing site drains east towards Route 9 and enters the existing storm system. Soil disturbing activities include cuts and fills to produce suitable grades for construction of the referenced components. Installation of utilities will require trench excavation and backfilling. An area of about 2.2�L acres will be disturbed during construction. 1.5 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT See Stormwater Management Report. 1.5A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT&PLANNING PER CHAPTER 3&4 OF THE NYSDEC STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DESIGN MANUAL AUGUST 2015 a. Site planning to preserve natural features and reduce impervious cover; The development is mainly limited to the flatter and non-wooded areas. Impervious surfaces included in the proposed project are building rooftop, concrete sidewalks, and asphalt parking. Infiltration is used to recharge the groundwater as in the pre-development condition. b. Calculation of the Water Quality Volume for the Site; The water quality volume calculation has been provided in the referenced stormwater management report and meets NYSDEC stormwater regulations. The water quality volume has been provided based on RRV due to the soils and topography of the site. The onsite soil type is sandy Type A, which allows for the use of infiltration practices. c. Incorporation of Green Infrastructure Techniques and Standard SMP's with Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) Capacity; Stormwater from the developed area will be treated through the use of infiltration and meets WQv and RRV requirements. The design utilizes subsurface infiltrator chambers which will detain and treat runoff. d. Design of Volume and Peak Rate Control Practices; This project meets or exceeds NYSDEC stormwater regulations. Calculations and further discussions are attached to the stormwater management report prepared for this project. Stornwater draining to the infiltrator chambers will be treated and will infiltrate. r4BD.Engineers,LLP 4 Harbor Freight Tools 4917,4-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 1.6 SEQUENCE OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES The following is the general sequence of construction that will occur on the site: 1.61 Site Preparation. Silt fence will be installed all along the descending slopes of the limits of grading and at any other location where siltation may occur. The silt fence shall remain in place until all areas being,served are stabilized. A temporary construction entrance shall be established to capture mud and debris from construction vehicles before they enter public roads. Clearing and earth disturbance shall be limited to that necessary to install temporary sediment control measures. 1.62 Rough Grading. Trees and other vegetation will be removed from areas to be disturbed. Some topsoil stripping and stockpiling will take place to be used later in landscaped areas. Earthmoving to grade the site to approved finish grades may then occur. Any additional required silt fence will be installed. There shall not be more than five (5) acres of disturbed soil at any one time without prior written approval from the Department of Environmental Conservation. 1.63 Building,Site Preparation. The location of the building will be graded to establish the finished floor elevation. The construction of the building will occur concurrently with the remaining site work. 1.64 Utility Installation. Water, sewer,utilities, and drainage facilities will be installed once subgrades are established and fills are compacted. 1.65 Paving. Driveway and parking will be paved. 1.66 Landscaping. Topsoil will be spread on areas to be landscaped and areas will be planted/seeded in accordance with the plans. All disturbed areas must be stabilized. Stabilization must be undertaken 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 has temporarily or permanently ceased. This requirement does not apply in the following instances: a. Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14"day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased 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 IBD Engineers,LLP 5 Harbor Freight Tools 491711-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 will be resumed within fourteen (14) days, temporary stabilization measures need not be initiated on that portion of the site. 1.7 NAME OF RECEIVING WATERS The nearest surface body of water is the Halfway Creek. Stormwater from the proposed site infiltrates and recharges groundwater onsite. 2.0 CONTROLS 2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS. STABILIZATION PRACTICES. Disturbed areas within the limits of grading will be stabilized by planting/seeding and mulching. Where seeding stabilization is needed, perennial rye grass applied at a rate of 150 pounds per acre may be used. All seeded areas are then to be mulched using straw mulch at a rate of 2 ton per acre. If anchoring of the straw mulch is needed, wood fiber mulch may then be applied at a rate of 500 pounds per acre. 2.2 STRUCTURAL PRACTICES. Silt fence or straw bale dikes will be placed on the downhill side of exposed slopes and trenches before clearing or excavation take place. The silt fence shall be Amoco 1380 geotextile fabric, or equal, attached to 2"x2"minimum wooden stakes as per manufacturer's recommendations as shown on the"Erosion and Sediment Control Details". It shall remain and be inspected and maintained until the site is stabilized. Maintenance shall be performed as needed, and sediment material removed when"bulges" develop in the silt fence. Inspections of the straw bale dikes shall be frequent, and repair replacements shall be made promptly as needed. Silt barriers will also be installed in the flow line of drainage channels and ditches. Erosion control barriers will be supplemented as necessary during construction and will be maintained throughout the duration of site construction activity by the Contractor. Runoff will be directed away from excavated areas, and temporary swales will be installed with a minimum grade of one percent. Stabilization shall occur as soon as practicable. Watering of excavation and fill areas to minimize wind erosion during construction should be accomplished as required. Stabilization should be completed as soon as practicable for the surface of all perimeter controls and permanent slopes. Following initial soil disturbance of any kind, stabilization should be completed within 14 days or as soon as possible. ABD Engineers,LLP 6 Harbor Freight Tools 4917A-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 At any location where surface runoff from disturbed or graded areas may flow off the construction area, temporary sediment control measures must be installed to prevent sediment from traveling off site. No grading, filling, or other disturbance is allowed within existing drainage swales. At the end of each workday during earthwork, operators shall grade all areas to temporary detention basin(s). Temporary and permanent detention basins shall be dewatered after all rainfall events if captured water does not infiltrate within 24 hours after the end of rainfall. Basins should be dewatered to sediment bags located in relatively level areas, preferably undisturbed areas of native vegetation. At no time shall a basin be dewatered directly to a stream or wetland. Every 7-calendar day, a qualified inspector will inspect all erosion control measures employed during construction activities to measure proper performance. The inspection will include taking digital photos of all E&SC measures needing corrective action as well as digital photos with date stamp of the corrected work. Any points of stormwater discharge from the site are also to be observed during the site inspections and condition reported. In areas where construction would take place in"wet soils", cuitain drains or subsurface drainage will be installed to de-water the soils. Construction vehicle traffic will be directed so as to avoid steep slopes and areas to remain vegetated to the maximum extent practicable. The Contractor will be held responsible for any soil exposure.and/or erosion that occurs outside the defined limits of work and haul roads, and will immediately install erosion control measures and stabilize disturbed areas. Furthermore, any fines that could arise as a result of improper implementation of this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be the responsibility of the Contractor. Only the owner or his designated representative will have the authority to authorize Contractor- requested disturbance beyond the limits on these plans. Any applicant- authorized changes will require signatory certification using the form in this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. To prevent sediment-laden water from entering the storm drain systein through the inlets, all catch basins will be protected by the "fabric barrier drop inlet protection"practice until the drainage areas served by these catch basins are stabilized. The fabric barrier shall be inspected after each rain event and repairs made as needed. Sediment shall be removed as necessary and disposed of properly. Sandbag trench plugs will be placed in sloping open trenches during installation of utilities. Locate temporary topsoil stockpiles in areas, which ABD Engineers,LLP 7 Harbor Freight Tools 49174SWPPP 871 US Route 9 do not receive direct runoff from swales or streams. The temporary topsoil stockpiles shall be protected with diversion swales if necessary. Locate temporary topsoil stockpile areas beyond proposed grading activities. To minimize erosion potential, enclose temporary topsoil stockpile areas with silt fencing. Seed temporary topsoil stockpile areas to reduce erosion if stored for prolonged periods. All temporary and permanent detention and sediment basins, and all drainage swales will be kept free of debris and litter, and the vegetation should be maintained to allow unobstructed flow of stormwater. Any slopes or embankments, which have damaged vegetation,will be reseeded as necessary. All grass swale areas will be mowed so as to facilitate unobstructed flow of stormwater. 2.3 OTHER CONTROLS 2.31 Waste Disposal 2.311 Waste Materials: All waste materials generated during site preparation and construction will be disposed of at a suitable landfill, transfer station or C &D landfill. The contractors shall inspect for and have litter picked up on a daily basis. 2.312 Hazardous Waste The project will not be a generator of hazardous waste and it is not anticipated that any hazardous waste will be generated during construction. If there are any materials generated, a licensed hazardous waste carrier will be contracted to dispose of the hazardous material at a suitable disposal site. If hazardous materials are discovered during construction, the work will be stopped until the issue is resolved. 2.313 Sanitary Waste Portable sanitary facilities will be made available to construction personnel and will be serviced regularly. .4BD Engineers,LLP 8 Harbor Freight Tools 4917,4-SWPPP 871 USRoule 9 2.32 Offsite Vehicle Tracldng. Earthwork equipment involved with the construction will remain on the project site and will not regularly egress or ingress the site. Any trucks used to bring in materials or remove materials will do so over a stabilized construction entrance so as to capture mud and debris before they enter the public highway. The stabilized construction entrance shall be 50 feet minimum in length by 24 feet minimum in width. Typar 3 40 1, or equal, filter cloth will be placed over the entire area prior to the placement of 6 inches of 2" stone. The entrance shall be maintained in a condition that will prevent tracking, or flowing of sediment onto public rights- of-way. ights- ofway. This may require periodic top dressing with additional stone as conditions demand. Periodic inspection and needed maintenance shall be provided after each rain. If significant off-site vehicle tracking begins to occur, the contractor will be directed to institute a regular street sweeping program in the vicinity of the site. 3.0 TIMING OF CONTROLS/MEASURES Prior to commencement of construction activity, Owner or operator must identify the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) that will be responsible for installing, constructing, repairing, replacing, inspecting and maintaining the erosion and sediment control practices within this SWPPP. Temporary structural erosion controls will be installed prior to earthwork as per the aforementioned plans. The Owner shall have a qualified inspector conduct an assessment of the site prior to the commencement of constriction, and certify in an inspection report that the appropriate erosion and sediment controls described in this SWPPP have been adequately installed or implemented to ensure overall preparedness of the site for the commencement of construction. The Owner shall maintain a record of all inspection reports in a site logbook. The site logbook shall be maintained on site and made available upon request. Prior to the commencement of construction, the Owner shall certify in the site logbook that the SWPPP meets all federal, state and local erosion and sediment control requirements. The Owner shall also prepare and submit to the local governing body and any other authorized agency having jurisdiction or regulatory control over the construction activity during which coverage under the permit exists.

Structural erosion controls and non-stabilized areas shall be inspected every 7- calendar day by a qualified inspector. Copies of the Weekly Inspection Form located at the end of this report shall be completed in full for every inspection performed. Completed inspection fonns shall be retained on site and copies to the Town MS4. To prevent sediment-laden water from entering the storm drain system through the inlets, all catch basins will be protected by the "fabric barrier drop inlet protection"practice until the drainage areas served by these catch basins are stabilized. The fabric barrier shall be inspected after each rain event and repairs made as needed. Sediment shall be removed as necessary and disposed of properly. All temporary sediment traps shall be pumped out within 24 hours of the end of all rainfall events if stormwater has not drained or infiltrated. Temporary erosion control devices will not be removed until the growth of vegetation or other erosion control measures stabilizes the area served. Stabilization must be untaken as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction activities have temporarily or pennanently ceased,but in no case more than 14 days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased. This requirement does not apply in the following instances; a. Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 14t" day after construction activity temporarily or permanently ceased 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 fourteen(14) days, temporary stabilization measures need not be initiated on that portion of the site. ABD Engineers,LLP 11 Harbor Freight Tools 4917A-SWPPP 871 USRoute 9 The Owner and Contractor shall retain copies of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, all reports, and data for a minimum of five years following final stabilization of the site. During construction of the project, all inspection, maintenance, and repair procedures as stated in this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan are the ultimate responsibility of The Owner,his heirs or assigns. All temporary measures that were installed in accordance with this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan shall remain the ultimate responsibility of The Owner, his heirs or assigns until such time as all areas being served are stabilized. Only after this stabilization occurs may these temporary measures be removed. A site can be considered finally stabilized when all soil disturbing activities have been completed and a Coliform perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80% for the unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent strictures has been established or equivalent permanent stabilization measures have been established, and the facility no longer discharges Stormwater associated with construction activities, and a Notice of Termination (NOT) form has been filed by the Owner(s) with the NYSDEC. This filing terminates coverage under the General Permit and terminates the Contractor's responsibility to implement the SWPPP,but the requirements of the SWPPP, including periodic inspections, must be continued until the NOT is filed. The long term post-construction inspection, maintenance, and repair procedures as stated in this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be performed by the Owner,his heirs or assigns. The Owner, his heirs or assigns will have the ultimate responsibility of the long- term maintenance, and repair procedures for all of the entire stormwater system as shown on the plans. An operations and maintenance manual for the Stormwater Management Control Practices will be given to The Owner,his heirs or assigns, which will include the inspection checklist from the"New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual." 4.0 CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS The Owner has petitioned the NYSDEC for the stornwater discharges during construction at this site to be covered by the SPDES General Permit for Construction Activity for the State of New York. A Notice of Intent (NOI) (using the form required by the federal, state, and/or local permitting agency)to be covered under this pennit has been filed by the Owner. The SWPPP must be prepared prior to submittal of the NOI form. The Contractor is a co-permittee with the owner. ABD Engineers,LLP 12 Harbor Freight Tools 4917,1-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 The NYSDEC requires that certifications of knowledge of the contents of this SWPPP and agreement to follow the SWPPP be made by the Owner and the Contractor. The terms of the General Permit also require that each Contractor sign the SWPPP, thereby making them co-permittees and acknowledging their responsibility for certain operational aspects of the plan. These certifications should be signed before the Contractor begins activities and should be filed with the site's SWPPP at the jobsite. These certifications are provided within this document. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was prepared in accordance with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities that are classified as "Associated with Construction Activity"pursuant to Article 17, Titles 7, 8 and Article 70 of the Environmental Conservation Law. This SPDES General Permit implements the Federal Clean Water Act pertaining to stormwater discharges. Construction will begin only after the requirements of SEQRA are met and local permits issued. The Contractor will obtain copies of any and all local and state regulations, which are applicable to stormwater management, erosion control, and pollution minimization at this job site and will comply fully with such regulations. The Contractor will submit written evidence of such compliance if requested by the Owner or any agent of a regulatory body. The Contractor will comply with all conditions of the NYSDEC General Permit for Construction Activities, including the conditions related to maintaining the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and evidence of compliance with the SWPPP at the job site, and allowing regulatory personnel access to the job site and to records in order to determine compliance. 5.0 MAINTENANCEIINSPECTION PROCEDURES 5.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PRACTICES These are the inspections and maintenance practices that will be used to maintain erosion and sediment controls: • A trained'individual, appointed by the Contractor's construction manager,will supervise day to day activities on the site during soil disturbing activities. A qualified inspector, appointed by the Owner, will make at least one weekly inspection every 7-calandar days of erosion control devices, as well as inspections with site photographs. ■ All measures will be maintained in good working order and be fully operational. If repair is necessary, it will be initiated within 24 hours of discovery. ABD Engineers,LLP 13 Harbor Freight Tools 4917,4-SWPPP 871 USRoute 9 A qualified inspector must look for evidence of the soil erosion on the site,potential of pollutants entering drainage systems,problems at discharge points (such as turbidity in receiving water), and signs of soil and mud transport from the site to the public road at the entrance. Silt fence maintenance shall be perfortned as needed, and sediment material removed when"bulges"develop in the silt fence. Built up sediment will be removed from silt fence and straw bales if it ever reaches one-third the height of the structural control. M Silt fence will be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, to see if the fabric is securely attached to the fence posts, and to see that the fence posts are firmly in the ground. 0 All temporary sediment basins should be inspected for stability and integrity once a week and after any storm event. Any structural failure in sediment basins or trenches that serve thein will be repaired within 24 hours after detection, ■ All temporary sediment basins shall be pumped dry after all rainfall events that cause water to accumulate in the basins. Basins shall be dewatered to an undisturbed upland area or to a sediment bag or trap. ■ All temporary sediment basins shall be cleaned out when one half the design depth of the basin has accumulated. All spoils shall be removed to a stabilized upland area. ■ The"fabric barrier drop inlet protection", put in at all catchbasins to keep sediment from entering the storm drain system, shall be inspected after each rain event and repairs made as needed. Sediment shall be removed as necessary and disposed of properly. ■ Stabilized construction entrance inspection and needed maintenance shall be provided after each rain. ■ The trained individual shall inspect for and have litter picked up on a daily basis. ■ Where seeding stabilization is needed, perennial ryegrass applied at a rate of 150 pounds per acre maybe used. All seeded areas are then to be mulched using straw mulch at a rate of 2 ton per acre. If anchoring of the straw mulch is needed, wood fiber mulch may then be applied at a rate of 500 pounds per acre. ■ Seeded and planted areas will be inspected for bare spots, washouts and healthy growth. If necessary, replanting, reseeding or sodding will be implemented. ■ A maintenance inspection report will be made after each inspection. A copy of the report form to be completed by the inspector is attached. Reports should be compiled and maintained on site. ARD Engineers,LLF 14 Harbor Freight Tools 49J7A-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 5.2 NON-STORMWATER DISCHARGES Any water collected in excavated areas will be pumped to a sediment bag located in an upland area or a sediment basin. All temporary sediment basins will be dewatcred to sediment bags. Once the material is dewatered, sediment will be removed to an upland area. 6.0 INVENTORY FOR POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN: SPILL PREVENTION 6.1 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The following are the material management practices that will be used to reduce the risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to storm water runoff. 6.11 Good Housekeeping The following good housekeeping practices will be followed onsite during the construction project: ■ An effort will be made to store only enough product required to do the job. ■ All materials stored onsite will be stored in a neat, orderly manner in their appropriate containers, and if possible,under a roof or other enclosure. ■ Products will be kept in their original containers with the original manufacturer's label. ■ Substances will not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the manufacturer, ■ Whenever possible, all of a product will be used up before disposal. ■ Manufacturer's recommendations for proper use and disposal will be followed. ■ The trained individual will inspect daily to ensure proper use and disposal of materials onsite. ■ The contractor shall prohibit washing of tools, equipment and machinery in or within 100 feet of any watercourse or wetland and install sediment traps to filter runoff from washing operations that could enter any watercourse. 6.12 Hazardous Products These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous materials; .4BD Engineers,LLP 15 Harbor Freight Tools 4917A-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 ■ Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not resealable. ■ Original labels and material safety data sheets will be retained; they contain important product information. ■ If surplus product must be disposed of, manufacturers' or local and State recommended methods for proper disposal will be followed. 6.2 PRODUCT SPECIFIC PRACTICES The following product specific practices will be followed onsite; 6.21 Petroleum Products • Construction personnel should be made aware that emergency telephone numbers are located in this SWPPP ■ The contractor shall immediately contact NYSDEC in the event of a spill, and shall take all appropriate steps to contain the spill including constructing a dike around the spill and placing absorbent material over this spill. ■ The contractor shall instruct personnel that spillage of fuels, oils, and similar chemicals must be avoided. ■ Fuels, oils and chemicals will be stored in appropriate and tightly capped containers, Containers shall not be disposed of on the project site. ■ Store fuels, oils, chemicals, material and equipment and locate sanitary facilities away from trees and at least 100 feet from strcgms, wells, wet areas, and other enviroiunentally sensitive sites. • Dispose of chemical containers and surplus chemicals off the project site in accordance with label directions. • Use tight connections and hoses with appropriate nozzles in all operations involving fuels, lubricating materials or chemicals. • Use funnels when pouring fuels, lubricating materials or chemicals. ■ Refueling and cleaning of construction equipment will take place from access roads, in staging areas along roadside areas whenever practical to provide rapid response to emergency situations. ■ All onsite vehicles will be monitored for leaks and receive regular preventative maintenance to reduce the chance of leakage. ,Any vehicle leaking fuel or hydraulic fuel will be immediately removed from the site. 6.22 Fertilizer Fertilizer will be stored in original containers and on pallets. Proper delivery scheduling will minimize storage time. Any ABD Engineers,LLP 16 Harbor Freight Tools 4917.E SWPPP 871 USRoute 9 damaged containers will be repaired immediately upon discovery and any released fertilizer recovered to the fullest extent practicable. 6.23 Paints All containers will be tightly sealed and stored when not required for use. Excess paint will not be discharged to the storm water or wastewater system.,but will be properly disposed of according to manufacturers' instructions or State and local regulations. 6.24 Concrete Trucks Concrete trucks will not be allowed to wash out or discharge surplus concrete or drum wash water on the site except in a designated upland area. Concrete truck washout will not be allowed to discharge into waters or wetlands at any time. 6.25 Asphalt Trucks Asphalt trucks shall not discharge surplus asphalt on the site. 6.3 SPILL CONTROL PRACTICES In addition to the good housekeeping and material management practices discussed in the previous sections of this plan, the following practices will be implemented for spill prevention and cleanup: ■ Manufacturer's rccommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly posted and site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the location of the information and cleanup supplies. Any spill in excess or suspected to be in excess of two gallons will be reported to the NYSDEC Spill Response Unit. Notification to NYSDEC (1-500-457- 7362)must be completed within two hours of the discovery of the spill. ■ Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the material storage area onsite. Equipment and materials will include but not be limited to: absorbent pads,brooms, dust pans, mops, rags, gloves, goggles, kitty litter, sand, sawdust, and plastic and metal trash containers specifically for this purpose. ■ All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery. • The spill area will be kept well ventilated and personnel will wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent injury from contact with spilled substance. • Spills of toxic or hazardous material will be reported to the appropriate State or local government agency,,regardless of the size. ■ The spill prevention plan will be adjusted to include measures to prevent this type of spill from reoccurring, and how to clean up the spill if there is another one. A description of the spill, what caused it, and the cleanup measures will also be included. ABD Engineers,LLP 17 Harbor Freight Tools 4917A SWPPP 871 US Route 9 ■ The contractor/trained individual will be the spill prevention and cleanup coordinator. He will designate at least three other site personnel who will receive spill prevention and cleanup training. These individuals will each become responsible for a particular phase of prevention and cleanup. The names of responsible spill personnel will be posted in the material storage area on the onsite construction office or trailer. ■ A Spill Response Report is contained in the SWPPP Forms. 7.0 LONG TERM POST-CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE After cleaned out by the contractor once site is completely stabilized, inspections will be performed at least twice a year(after the spring thaw and in the fall) and clean out, if necessary of the detention basins. Inspections shall also occur after major rain events. All swales and stormwater management systems will be inspected on a regular basis. Sediments will be pumped out and/or removed based on the monthly inspection. It will be the responsibility of The Owner, his heirs or assigns, for documenting these inspections and clean out work on the Structural Inspection and Maintenance Report Form. Post-construction regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance will be necessary to ensure the permanent structural features, such as the ston-nwater management chambers and the conveyance system components,remain optimally functional and continue to reduce the risk of sediment loading of surface water bodies. The Owner shall overtake responsibility of inspecting and maintaining drainage and erosion control features over the lifetime of the structures and stormwater components. Maintenance personnel, employed by the Owner, must be aware of the SWPPP and should be trained to recognize signs that stabilization measures may not be performing optimally or are failing. The inspection of on-site stabilization measures will become part of routine preventative maintenance practiced by the Owner and his employees, Inspection and maintenance should be performed as described below. Inspection Overall Site Inspection The overall site, embankments, and vegetation,should be inspected regularly after every major rain event and at least twice a year (after the spring thaw and in the fall). The inspection should include but are not limited to: ABD Engineers,LLP 18 Harbor Freight Tools 4917A-SWPPP 871 US Route 9 1. Density and condition of vegetation and ground cover. 2.

[II (Part 1) J, Part I. PERMIT COVERAGE AND LIMITATIONS A. Permit Application This permit authorizes stormwater discharges to surface waters of the State from the following construction activities identified within 40 CFR Parts 122.26(b)(14)(x), 122.26(b)(15)(1) and 122,26(b)(15)(ii), provided all of the eligibility provisions of this permit are met: [. Construction activities involving soil disturbances of one (1) or more acres; including disturbances of less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land; excluding routine maintenance activity that is performed to maintain the original line and grade, hydraulic capacity or original purpose of a facility; 2. Construction activities involving soil disturbances of less than one (1) acre where the Department has determined that a SPDES permit is required for stormwater discharges based on the potential for contribution to a violation of a water quality standard or for significant contribution of pollutants to surface waters of the State. 3, Construction activities located in the watershed(s) identified in Appendix D that involve soil disturbances between five thousand (5,000) square feet and one (1) acre of land. B. Effluent Limitations Applicable to Discharges from Construction Activities Discharges authorized by this permit must achieve, at a minimum, the effluent limitations in Part I.B.I. (a)—(f)of this permit. These limitations represent the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of best practicable technology currently available.- I. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements - The owner or operator must select, design, install, implement and maintain control measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. The selection, design, installation, implementation, and maintenance of these control measures must meet the non-numeric effluent limitations in Part 1.13,11.(a) -- (f) of this permit and be in accordance with the New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, dated August 2005, using sound engineering judgment. Where control measures are not designed in conformance with the design criteria included in the technical standard, the owner or operator must include in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan ("SWPPP") the reason(s) for the deviation or alternative design and provide information 3 (Part I.B.1) which demonstrates that the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard. a. Erosion and Sediment Controls. Design, install and maintain effective erosion and sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. At a minimum, such controls must be designed, installed and maintained to: (i) Minimize soil erosion through application of runoff control and soil stabilization control measure to minimize pollutant discharges; (ii) Control stormwater discharges to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in the immediate vicinity of the discharge points; (iii) Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity; (iv) Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes; (v) Minimize sediment discharges from the site; (vi) Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to vegetated areas and maximize stormwater infiltration to reduce pollutant discharges, unless infeasible; (vii) Minimize soil compaction. Minimizing soil compaction is not required where the intended function of a specific area of the site dictates that it be compacted; and (viii) Unless infeasible, preserve a sufficient amount of topsoil to complete soil restoration and establish a uniform, dense vegetative cover. b. Soil Stabilization. In areas where soil disturbance activity has temporarily or permanently ceased, the application of soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within fourteen (14) days from the date the current soil disturbance activity ceased. For construction sites that directly discharge to one of the 303(d) segments listed in Appendix E or is located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C, the application of soil stabilization measures must be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days from the date the current soil disturbance activity ceased. See Appendix A for definition of Temporarily Ceased. c. Dewatering. Discharges from dewatering activities, including discharges 2 (Part 1.B.1.c) from dewatering of trenches and excavations, must be managed by appropriate control measures. d, Pollution Prevention Measures. Design, install, implement, and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. At a minimum, such measures must be designed, installed, implemented and maintained to: (i) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing, wheel wash water, and other wash waters. This applies to washing operations that use clean water only. Soaps, detergents and solvents cannot be used; (ii) Minimize the exposure of building materials, building products, construction wastes, trash, landscape materials, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, sanitary waste and other materials present on the site to precipitation and to stormwater. Minimization of exposure is not required in cases where the exposure to precipitation and to stormwater will not result in a discharge of pollutants, or where exposure of a specific material or product poses little risk of stormwater contamination (such as final products and materials intended for outdoor use) ; and (iii) Prevent the discharge of pollutants from spills and leaks and implement chemical spill and leak prevention and response procedures. e. Prohibited Discharges. The following discharges are prohibited: (i) Wastewater from washout of concrete; (ii) Wastewater from washout and cleanout of stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other construction materials; (iii) Fuels, oils, or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance; (iv) Soaps or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing; and (v) Toxic or hazardous substances from a spill or other release. f. Surface Outlets. When discharging from basins and impoundments, the outlets shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a manner that sediment does not leave the basin or impoundment and that erosion 3 (Part I.B.11) at or below the outlet does not occur. C. Post-construction Stormwater Management Practice Requirements 1. The owner or operator of a construction activity that requires post- construction stormwater management practices pursuant to Part III.C. of this permit must select, design, install, and maintain the practices to meet the performance criteria in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual ("Design Manual'), dated January 2015, using sound engineering judgment. Where post-construction stormwater management practices ("SMPs") are not designed in conformance with the performance criteria in the Design Manual, the owner or operator must include in the SWPPP the reason(s) for the deviation or alternative design and provide information which demonstrates that the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard. 2. The owner or operator of a construction activity that requires post- construction stormwater management practices pursuant to Part III.C. of this permit must design the practices to meet the applicable sizing criteria in Part I.C.2.a., b., c. or d. of this permit. a. Sizing Criteria for New Development (i) Runoff Reduction Volume ("RRv"): Reduce the total Water Quality Volume ("WQv") by application of RR techniques and standard SMPs with RRv capacity. The total WQv shall be calculated in accordance with the criteria in Section 4.2 of the Design Manual. (ii) Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv: Construction activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part I.C.2.a.(i) of this permit due to site limitations shall direct runoff from all newly constructed impervious areas to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity unless infeasible. The specific site limitations that prevent the reduction of 100% of the WQv shall be documented in the SWPPP. For each impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include documentation which demonstrates that all options were considered and for each option explains why it is considered infeasible. In no case shall the runoff reduction achieved from the newly constructed impervious areas be less than the Minimum RRv as calculated using the criteria in Section 4.3 of the Design Manual. The remaining portion of the total WQv 4 (Part I.C.2.a.ii) that cannot be reduced shall be treated by application of standard SMPs. (iii) Channel Protection Volume ("Cpv"): Provide 24 hour extended detention of the post-developed 1-year, 24-hour storm event; remaining after runoff reduction. The Cpv requirement does not apply when: (1) Reduction of the entire Cpv is achieved. by application of runoff reduction techniques or infiltration systems, or (2) The site discharges directly to tidal waters, or fifth order or larger streams. (iv) Overbank Flood Control Criteria ("Qp"): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qp) to predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. (v) Extreme Flood Control Criteria ("Qf'): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 100-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qf) to predevelopment rates. The Qf requirement does not apply when. (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. b. Sizing Criteria for New Development in Enhanced Phosphorus Removal Watershed (i) Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv): Reduce the total Water Quality Volume (WQv) by application of RR techniques and standard SMPs with RRv capacity. The total WQv is the runoff volume from the 1-year, 24 hour design storm over the post-developed watershed and shall be calculated in accordance with the criteria in Section 10.3 of the Design Manual. (ii) Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv: Construction activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part I.C.2.b.(i) of this permit due to site limitations shall direct runoff from all newly constructed impervious areas to a RR technique or 5 (Part I.C.2.b.ii) standard SMP with RRv capacity unless infeasible. The specific site limitations that prevent the reduction of 100%of the WQv shall be documented in the SWPPP. For each impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include documentation which demonstrates that all options were considered and for each option explains why it is considered infeasible. In no case shall the runoff reduction achieved from the newly constructed impervious areas be less than the Minimum RRv as calculated using the criteria in Section 10.3 of the Design Manual. The remaining portion of the total WQv that cannot be reduced shall be treated by application of standard SMPs. (iii) Channel Protection Volume (Cpv): Provide 24 hour extended detention of the post-developed 1-year, 24-hour storm event; remaining after runoff reduction. The Cpv requirement does not apply when: (1) Reduction of the entire Cpv is achieved by application of runoff reduction techniques or infiltration systems, or (2) The site discharges directly to tidal waters, or fifth order or larger streams. (iv) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (Qp): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qp) to predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2)A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. (v) Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf): Requires storage to attenuate the post-development 100-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qf) to predevelopment rates. The Qf requirement does not apply when: (1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger streams, or (2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not required. c. Sizing Criteria for Redevelopment Activity 6 (Part I.C.2.c.1) (i) Water Quality Volume (WQv): The WQv treatment objective for redevelopment activity shall be addressed by one of the following options. Redevelopment activities located in an Enhanced Phosphorus Removal Watershed (see Part III.B.3. and Appendix C of this permit) shall calculate the WQv in accordance with Section 10.3 of the Design Manual. All other redevelopment activities shall calculate the WQv in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Design Manual. (1) Reduce the existing impervious cover by a minimum of 25% of the total disturbed, impervious area. The Soil Restoration criteria in Section 5.1.6 of the Design Manual must be applied to all newly created pervious areas, or (2) Capture and treat a minimum of 25%of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area by the application of standard SMPs; or reduce 25% of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area by the application of RR techniques or standard SMPs with RRv capacity., or (3) Capture and treat a minimum of 75%of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area as well as any additional runoff from tributary areas by application of the alternative practices discussed in Sections 9.3 and 9.4 of the Design Manual., or (4) Application of a combination of 1, 2 and 3 above that provide a weighted average of at least two of the above methods. Application of this method shall be in accordance with the criteria in Section 9.2.1(B) (IV) of the Design Manual. If there is an existing post-construction stormwater management practice located on the site that captures and treats runoff from the impervious area that is being disturbed, the WQv treatment option selected must, at a minimum, provide treatment equal to the treatment that was being provided by the existing practice(s) if that treatment is greater than the treatment required by options 1 -- 4 above. (ii) Channel Protection Volume (Cpv): Not required if there are no changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project site.

Steep Slope — means land area with a Soil Slope Phase that is identified as an E or F, or 41 r the map unit name is inclusive of 25% or greater slope, on the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") Soil Survey for the County where the disturbance will occur. Surface Waters of the State - shall be construed to include lakes, bays, sounds, ponds, impounding reservoirs, springs, rivers, streams, creeks, estuaries, marshes, inlets, canals, the Atlantic ocean within the territorial seas of the state of New York and all other bodies of surface water, natural or artificial, inland or coastal, fresh or salt, public or private (except those private waters that do not combine or effect a junction with natural surface waters), which are wholly or partially within or bordering the state or within its jurisdiction. Waters of the state are further defined in 6 NYCRR Parts 800 to 941. Temporarily Ceased — means that an existing disturbed area will not be disturbed again within 14 calendar days of the previous soil disturbance. Temporary Stabilization - means that exposed soil has been covered with material(s) as set forth in the technical standard, New York Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, to prevent the exposed soil from eroding. The materials can include, but are not limited to, mulch, seed and mulch, and erosion control mats (e.g. jute twisted yarn, excelsior wood fiber mats). Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) - A TMDL is the sum of the allowable loads of a single pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoint sources. It is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive on a daily basis and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. A TMDL stipulates wasteload allocations (WLAs) for point source discharges, load allocations (I-As)for nonpoint sources, and a margin of safety (MOS). Trained Contractor - means an employee from the contracting (construction) company, identified in Part III.A.6., that has received four (4) hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion and sediment control principles from a Soil and Water Conservation District, or other Department endorsed entity. After receiving the initial training, the trained contractor shall receive four(4) hours of training every three (3) years. It can also mean an employee from the contracting (construction) company, identified in Part I I I.A.6., that meets the qualified inspector qualifications (e.g. licensed Professional Engineer, Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), Registered Landscape Architect, or someone working under the direct supervision of, and at the same company as, the licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Landscape Architect, provided they have received four(4) hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion and sediment control principles from a Soil and Water Conservation District, or other Department endorsed entity). The trained contractor is responsible for the day to day implementation of the SWPPP. Uniform Procedures Act (UPA) Permit - means a permit required under 6 NYCRR Part 42 621 of the Environmental Conservation Law(ECL), Article 70, Water Quality Standard - means such measures of purity or quality for any waters in relation to their reasonable and necessary use as promulgated in 6 NYCRR Part 700 et seq. 43 APPENDIX B Required SWPPP Components by Project Type Table 1 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE THE PREPARATION OF A SWPPP THAT ONLY INCLUDES EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS The following construction activities that involve soil disturbances of one(1) or more acres of land, but less than five(5) acres: • Single family home not located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C or not directly discharging to one of the 303(d)segments listed in Appendix E • Single family residential subdivisions with 25% or less impervious cover at total site build-out and not located in one of the watersheds listed in Appendix C and not directly discharging to one of the 303(d) segments listed in Appendix E • Construction of a barn or other agricultural building, silo, stock yard or pen.
