PART[ Permit - Page 13 Permit No. COR -030000 D. TERMS AND CONDITIONS (cont.) 3) Winter Conditions Inspections Exclusion -- Inspections are not required at sites where construction activities are temporarily lialted, snow cover exists over the entire site for an extended period, and melting conditions posing a risk of surface erosion do not exist. This exception is applicable only during the period where melting conditions do not exist, and applies to the routine 14 -day and monthly inspections, as well as the post -storm - event inspections. The following information must be documented in the inspection record for use of this exclusion: dates when snow cover occurred, date when construction activities ceased, and date melting conditions began. Inspections, as described above, are required at all other times. When site conditions make the schedule required in this section impractical, the pennittee may petition the Division to grant an alternate inspection schedule. b) Inspection Requirements 1) Inspection Scope - The construction site perimeter, all disturbed areas, material and/or waste storage areas that are exposed to precipitation, discharge locations, and locations where vehicles access the site shall be inspected for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants leaving the constriction site boundaries, entering the stormwater drainage system, or discharging to state waters. All erosion and sediment control practices identified in the SWMP shall be evaluated to ensure that they are maintained and operating correctly. 2) inspection Report/Records - The permittee shall keep a record of inspections, Inspection reports must identify any incidents of non-compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. Inspection records must be retained for three years from expiration or inactivation of permit coverage. At a niiumili n, the inspection report must include: i) The inspection date; ii) Names) and title(s) of personnel making the inspection; iii) Location(s) of discharges of sediment or other pollutants from the site; iv) Location(s) of BMPs that need to be maintained; v) Location(s) of BMWs that failed to operate as designed or proved inadequate for a particular location; vi) Location(s) where additional BMPs are needed that were not in place at the time ofinspection; vii) Deviations from the minimum inspection schedule as provided in Part I.D.6.a above; vii) Description of corrective action for items iii, iv, v, and vi, above, dates corrective action(s) taken, and measures taken to prevent future violations, including requisite changes to the SWMP, as necessary; and viii) After adequate corrective action(s) has been taken, or where a report does not identify any incidents requiring corrective action, the report shall contain a signed statement indicating the site is in compliance with the permit to the best of the signer's knowledge and belief. c) Required Actions Following Site inspections — Where site inspections note the need for BMP maintenance activities, BMPs must be maintained in accordance with the SWMP and Part I.D.7 of the permit. Repair, replacement, or installation of new BMPs determined necessary during site inspections to address ineffective or inadequate BMPs must be conducted in accordance with Part LD.8 of the permit. SWMP updates required as a result of deficiencies in the SWMP noted during site inspections shall be made in accordance with Part I.D.S.e of the permit. BMP Maintenance All erosion and sediment control practices and other protective measures identified in the SWMP must be maintained in effective operating condition. Proper selection and installation of BMPs and implementation of comprehensive Inspection and Maintenance procedures, in accordance with the SWMP, should be adequate to meet this condition. BMPs that are not adequately maintained in accordance with good engineering, hydrologic and pollution control practices, including removal of collected sediment outside the acceptable tolerances of the BMPs, are considered to be no longer operating effectively and must be addressed in accordance with Part I.D.8, below. A specific timeline for implementing maintenance procedures is not included in this permit because BMP maintenance is expected to be proactive, not responsive. Observations resulting in BMP maintenance activities can be made during a site inspection, or during general observations of site conditions.
