A sediment pond will be inSCalled at the location(s) of the dewatering pump/discharge point. <br />This pond will be sized to allow for settlement of suspended solids in the dewatering discharge. <br />No chemicals or flocculants aze expected to be used with the settling pond(s). <br />Revegetation of disturbed areas remains the most efficient and economical Best Management <br />Practice (BMP) for reducing sediment transport from large areas. Roots hold soils in place and <br />surface growth filters sediment and reduces runoff velocities causing deposition of suspended <br />soil particles. <br />Reclamation and vegetating disturbed areas will be an ongoing process to reduce soil erosion at <br />the site. Revegetated areas will be mulched following seeding to prevent erosion prior to the <br />establishment of the plants. <br />Mowing will provide the predominant form of weed control and appropriate chemicals will only <br />be used to control particulazly hardy varieties of weeds. Any weed killers used must be <br />compatible with use near waterways. For example, Roundup should not be used near running <br />water. <br />4.4 Inspection and Maintenance <br />Preventative inspections for the vehicles located on site will occur on a daily basis. All vehicles <br />will be checked for signs of leaks or other potential problems. Any problems identified will be <br />corrected immediately. Monthly monitoring inspections of the vehicles will be conducted and <br />documented on the attached forms. Preventative maintenance for all the equipment will be <br />conducted on a regular basis and documented on the same forms. <br />Preventative inspections for the crushing and screening equipment and [he asphalt plant will be <br />conducted on a monthly basis. Any information regarding maintenance needed or performed <br />will be noted on the attached forms. <br />Containment berms surrounding the fuel tanks, the liquids at the asphalt plant and the asphalt <br />plant itself will be inspected montlily. Any problems with the integrity of the berms will be <br />noted and repaired promptly. <br />The site will be inspected to insure that all the structural and non-structural BMPs are <br />functioning well and any off-site discharges have the best water quality attainable from good <br />management practices. Little discharge, if any, is expected from this site. . <br />A comprehensive inspection of the site must be conducted no less than twice a year, spring and <br />fall. A sample inspection form is included which may be modified as necessary. Note any <br />additional water quality protection procedures implemented, directly on the report or bluelined <br />drawing for later incorporation to the SWMP. If unforseen erosion occurs, the SWMP should be <br />revised as necessary to improve dischazged stormwater quality. <br />
