Union Street, Schenectady, NY 12305, dated June 15, 2018.
1.4 DESCRIPTION: (PURPOSE AND TYPES OF SOIL DISTURBING ACTIVITIES)
The Owner/Applicant is proposing to develop an 8.6±acre parcel
located at 398 Corinth Road in the town of Queensbury, Warren
County,New York(see Exhibit 1). The site is bordered on the west
by commercial property, on the south by Corinth Road, on the east
by residential houses, and on the north by woods.
The Owner/Applicant is proposing to construct 12 self storage
buildings, associated pavement, and stonnwater management
areas.
ABD Engineers,LLP 3 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
According to the Warren County NRCS, the primary hydrologic
soil group is type A, loamy fine sand. The existing site drains to
low points onsite and infiltrates.
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.
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 rooftops of
buildings,roads, and 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 infiltration basins which
will detain and treat runoff from a 100-year storm.
d. Design of Volume and Peak Rate Control Practices; Though not required,
this project meets or exceeds NYSDEC stormwater regulations.
Calculations and further discussions are attached to the stonnwater
management report prepared for this project. Stormwater draining to the
infiltration basins will be treated and will infiltrate.

5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
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 buildings will be
graded to establish the finished floor elevation. The construction
of the buildings will occur concurrently with the remaining site
work.
1.64 Utility Installation. Utilities and drainage facilities will be
installed once subgrades are established and fills are compacted.
1.65 Paving. Ingress/Egress driveways 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. 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.
1.7 NAME OF RECEIVING WATERS
The nearest surface body of water is the Clendon Brook. Stormwater from
the proposed site infiltrates and recharges groundwater with no offsite
discharge.
ABD Engineers,LLP 5 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
501OA-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
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 inulch 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 pennanent slopes. Following initial soil
disturbance of any kind, stabilization should be completed within 14 days
or as soon as possible.
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
ABD Engineers,LLP 6 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
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.
A qualified inspector will inspect all erosion control measures employed
during construction activities to measure proper performance and correct
immediately as needed.
In areas where construction would take place in"wet soils", curtain 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 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.
Sandbag trench plugs will be placed in sloping open trenches during
installation of utilities. Locate temporary topsoil stockpiles in areas, which
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.
ABD Engineers,LLP 7 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
All silt or sediment accumulations will be cleaned from stormwater quality
management basins.
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 embankinents, which have damaged vegetation,will be
reseeded as necessary.
All grass swale areas will be snowed 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.
2.32 Offsite Vehicle Tracking.
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
ABD Engineers,LLP 8 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
shall be 50 feet minimum in length by 24 feet minimum in
width. Typar 3401, 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. 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 construction, and be aware of
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.
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 basins 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.
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.
ABD Engineers,LLP 9 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
501OA-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
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 uniformm perennial vegetative cover with a density of 80% for the
unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures has been established
or equivalent pennanent stabilization measures have been established, and the
facility no longer discharges stormwater associated with construction activities,
and approved by the engineer.
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
There will be no offsite discharge to the waters of the United States and/or
municipal stormwater systems and a Notice of Intent is not required. However, the
standard methods for Erosion and Sediment Control do still apply as shown on the
site plans.
5.0 MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION 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:
ABD Engineers,LLP 10 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
■ A trained individual, appointed by the Contractor's construction
manager, will supervise day to day activities on the site during soil
disturbing activities.
■ 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.
■ A qualified contractor 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 performed 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.
■ 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.
■ 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 them 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 catch basins 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 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.
ABD Engineers,LLP 11 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
■ Seeded and planted areas will be inspected for bare spots, washouts and
healthy growth. If necessary, replanting,reseeding or sodding will be
implemented.
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 dewatered to sediment bags. Once the material is
dewatered, sediment will be removed to an upland area.

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.
ABD Engineers,LLP 14 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
SOIOA-SWPPP 398 Corinth.Road
■ 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.
■ 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 naives 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 the site is completely stabilized, inspections will be performed at least twice
a year(after the spring thaw and in the fall). 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
Post-construction regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance will be
necessary to ensure the permanent structural features, such as the stormwater
management basins 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.
ABD Engineers,LLP 15 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
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:
1. Density and condition of vegetation and ground cover.
2. Erosion, differential settlement or cracking of ernbaiflQnent.
3. Bulging or sliding of toe of embankments.
4. Sedimentation of on-site or downstream water bodies.
5. Sedimentation of swales.
6. Sedimentation of lawn areas, paved areas.
7. Accumulation of pollutants, including oils or grease.
8. Damage of fatigue of storm associated components.
Maintenance
Overall Site Maintenance
Maintenance vegetative and structural measures for soil protection is necessary to
keep the storm water system functioning properly. Maintenance should occur on a
regular basis and should include but is not limited to:
Seasonal Maintenance
1. Vegetated areas should be maintained to promote vigorous and
dense growth. Lawn areas should be mowed at least three times a
year but may require more frequent mowing depending on the
growth rate.
2. Paved areas should be swept at least twice a year and in the early
spring for removal of deicing materials.
3. Accumulation of litter and debris should be removed during each
mowing or sweep operation.
4. Structural components of the storm system should be addressed
immediately following identification.
5. Cleanout of accumulated sediments and debris should occur.
6. Basin and drainage way maintenance will include periodic
mowing, occasional spot reseeding and weed control. Weeds and
woody plants should be eradicated or cut back since they reduce
the drainage efficiency.
7. Signs of scour should be repaired. Weeds and brush growth should
controlled as needed.
8. Sediment buildup is removed when 25% of the volume has been
exceeded.
ABD Engineers,LLP 16 Corinth Road U-Store It 2
5010A-SWPPP 398 Corinth Road
Winter Maintenance
I. Remove snow and ice away from culvert end sections.
2. Snow removed from paved areas should not be piled within the
stormwater management basins.
3. Use of deicing materials should be limited to sand and
environmentally friendly chemical products. Use of salt mixtures
should be kept to a minimum.
4. Sand used for deicing should be clean, course material free of
fines, silt, and clay.
5. Materials used for deicing should be removed during the early
spring by sweeping and/or vacuuming.
Stormwater Management Facility Maintenance
I. Side slope, embankments, inlets and overflow spillways should be
mowed at least three times a year but may require more frequent
imowings depending on the growth rate.
2. Accumulation of litter and debris should be removed during each
mowing or sweep operation.
3. Structural components of the basin which require repair or
replacement should be addressed immediately following
identification.
4. Sedimentation of stormwater management basins is dependent on
storage capacity, inflow and sediment load. Basins should be
monitored periodically for sediment accumulation. Sediments
should be removed after 25% of the volume capacity has been lost,
inlets/outlets become clogged or restricted, or when 12 inches has
accumulated. When sediment removal is required, original grades
should be restored as shown on the Construction Plans.
5. Spillways should be cleared of obstructions.
6. Inlet/outlet riprap damage due to scour be repaired.
7. Stormwater Management Facility shall be inspected and
maintained at a minimum as specified in the NYSDEC Stormwater
Management Design Manual.
