This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared as part of the NPDES ' � Stormwater Permit requirements for the proposed Weber Property project in Yelm, Washington. i The site is located between NW Crystal Springs Street and Rhoton Road S.E. in the city of Yelm, ' Washington. The proposed project is located on a 7.57-acre site. Currently, the site is covered � with native and non-native vegetation, dirt roads, and a gravel parking area. The proposed Weber Property project proposes to fill the east half of the site to the base flood elevation far future construction while excavating the west half of the site for compensatory flood plain � storage. � Construction activities will include: clearing, excavation, and grading. The purpose of this SWPPP is to describe the proposed construction activities and all temporary and permanent I erosion and sediment control (TESC) measures, pollutions prevention measures, � inspection/monitoring activities, and recordkeeping that will be implemented during the proposed construction project. The objectives of the SWPPP are to: � 1. Implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and sedimentation, and to identify, reduce, eliminate or prevent stormwater contamination and water pollution from construction activity. � 2e Prevent violations of surface water quality, ground water quality, or sediment management standards. � 3e Control peak flow rates and velocities of stormwater runoff. � This SWPPP used as guidance the Ecology SWPPP template downloaded from the Ecology � website. This SWPPP is based on the Construction Stormwater General Permit and guidance contained in the Stormwater 1Vlanagement Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW 2012). � The report is divided into seven main sections with several appendices that include stormwater relted reference materials. The topics presented � ❑ Section 1 —INTRODUCTION. This section provides a summary description of the project, and the organization of the SWPPP ; document. � � ❑ Section 2— SITE DESCRIPTION.

Specifically, the site is located between NW Crystal � � Springs Street and Rhoton Road S.E. Currently, the site consists entirely of pasture and trees. i Under existing conditions, the site is approximately 93 percent pervious. When the project is � complete, the site work will have added no new impervious areas. The site topography consists of slopes ranging from 0 to 3 percent. There is a high point near the � center of the sitea Stormwater from the eastern portion of the site drains eastward into an existing ditch on Rhoton � Road S.E. Stormwater from the western portion of the site drains to Yelm Creek. Yelm Creek runs south to north along the west property line. � (" 2.2 Proposed Construction Activities f� j Upon completion of the project, the eastern half of the site will have been raised to an elevation � of 335 and the western half of the site will have been excavated for compensatory flood plain storage. � The following summarizes details regarding site areas: ■ Total site area: 7.57 acres � ■ Percent impervious area before construction: 7 % � ■ Percent impervious area after construction: 0 % ■ Disturbed area during construction: 4.98 acres � ■ Disturbed area that is characterized as im ervious i.e. P � � � access roads, staging, parking): 0.53 acres � � 3 12433.007.doc I ' ' ' , ' ' ' ' ' ' ' i ' ' , ' � ' ; ' ' I ' � Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 3.0 Construction Stormwater BMPs � � 3.1 The 12 BMP Elements i � 3.1.1 Element#1 —Mark Clearing Limits � To protect adjacent properties and to reduce the area of soil exposed to construction, the limits of construction will be clearly marked before land-disturbing activities begin. Trees that are to be preserved, as well as all sensitive areas and their buffers, shall be clearly delineated,both in the � field and on the plans. In general, natural vegetation and native topsoil shall be retained in an undisturbed state to the maximum extent possible. The BMPs relevant to marking the clearing limits that will be applied for this project include: � Preserving Natural Vegetation (BMP C101) i f� 3.1.2 Element#2—Establish Construction Access � Construction access or activities occurring on unpaved areas shall be minimized9 yet where necessary, access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public roads, and wheel washing, street sweeping, and street cleaning shall be employed to prevent � sediment from entering state waters. All wash wastewater shall be controlled on site. The specific BMPs related to establishing construction access that will be used on this project include: � Stabilized Construction Entrance/Exit (BMP C 105) � 3.1.3 Element#3 —Control Flow Rates � In order to protect the properties and waterways downstream of the project site, stormwater discharges from the site will be controlled. The specific BMPs for flow control that sha11 be used on this project include: �„ Straw Wattles (BMP C235) � 3.1.4 Element#4—Install Sediment Controls � All stormwater runoff from disturbed areas shall pass through an appropriate sediment removal BMP before leaving the construction site ar prior to being discharged to an infiltration facility. The specific BMPs to be used for controlling sediment on this pro�ect mclude: ,� � 5 12433.007.doc I ' � Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Silt Fencing (B1VIP C233) � Straw Wattles (BMP C235) i � 3.1.5 Element#5—Stabilize Soils � Exposed and unworked soils shall be stabilized with the application of effective BMPs to prevent erosion throughout the life of the project. The specific BMPs for soil stabilization that shall be used on this project include: � Temporary and Permanent Seeding (BMP C120) � 3.1.6 Element#6—Protect Slopes � All cut and fill slopes will be designed, constructed, and protected in a manner than minimizes erosion. The following specific BMPs will be used to protect slopes for this project: � � Temporary and Permanent Seeding (BMP C 120) � 3.1.7 Element#7—Protect Drain Inlets All storm drain inlets and culverts made operable during construction shall be protected to prevent unfiltered or untreated water from entering the drainage conveyance system. However, � the first priority is to keep all access roads clean of sediment and keep street wash water separate from entering storm drains until treatment can be provided. Storm Drain Inlet Protection(BMP � C220)will be implemented for all drainage inlets and culverts that could potentially be impacted � by sediment-laden runoff on and near the project site. The following inlet protection measures I will be applied on this project: i � Storm Drain Inlet Protection (BMP C220) � 31.8 Element#8—Stabilize Channels and Outlets � Where site runoff is to be conveyed in channels, or discharged to a stream or some other natural �" drainage point, efforts will be taken to prevent downstream erosion. This project does not �� propose any concentrated discharges to off-site areas. Site run-off will be in the form of sheet- � flow and will be mitigated with straw wattles and silt fencing. If it becomes necessary, the � specific BMPs for channel and outlet stabilization that shall be used on this project include: Outlet Protection(BMP C209) i� I� ,� 6 12433.007.doc I ' �„ Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 3.1.9 Element#9—Control Pollutants ,�,,, All pollutants, including waste materials and demolition debris, that occur onsite shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. Good � housekeeping and preventative measures will be taken to ensure that the site will be kept clean, well organized, and free of debris. If required, BMPs to be implemented to control specific � sources of pollutants are discussed below. � Material on Hand(BMP C 150) � The facility does not require a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan under the Federal regulations of the Clean Water Act (CWA). � 3.1.10 Element#10—Control Dewatering � Given the scope of wark on this project, dewatering should not be necessary as part of this construction project. i � 3.1.11 Element#11 --Maintain BMPs All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be maintained and . � repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function. Maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with each particular BMP's specifications. Visual monitoring of the BMPs will be conducted at least once every calendar week and within 24 hours � of any rainfall event that causes a discharge from the site. If the site becomes inactive, and is � tempararily stabilized, the inspection frequency will be reduced to once every month. � All temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within 30 days after the final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needede Trapped sediment shall be removed or stabilized on site. Disturbed soil resulting from removal of BMPs � or vegetation shall be permanently stabilized. � 3.1.12 Element#12 —Manage the Project Erosion and sediment control BMPs for this project have been designed based on the following � principles: i ■ Design the project to fit the existing topography, soils, and drainage � patterns. ■ Emphasize erosion control rather than sediment control. � ■ Minimize the extent and duration of the area ex osed. p ,� i 7 12433.007.doc � I _ , � Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan ■ Keep runoff velocities low.

Limiting site disturbance is the single most effective method for reducing erosion. For example, conifers can hold up to about 50 � percent of all rain that falls during a storm. Up to 20-30 percent of this rain may never reach the ground but is taken up by the tree or evaporates. Another benefit is that the rain held in the tree can be released slowly to � the ground after the storm. Conditions of Use Natural vegetation should be preserved on steep slopes, near perennial and intermittent watercourses or swales, and on building sites in wooded � areas. • As requiz-ed by local governments. � • Phase constructian to preserve natural vegetation on the project site for as long as possible during the construction period. � Design and Natural vegetation can be preserved in natural ciuxnps or as individual Installation trees, shrubs and vines. � Specifications The preservation of individual plants is more difficuit because heavy '� equipment is generally used to remove unwanted vegetation. The points � to remember when attempting to save individual plants are: j� • Is the plant worth saving?Consider the location,species,size, age,vigor, and the work involved.Local governments may also have ordinances to save natural vegetation and trees. � • Fence or clearly mark areas around trees that are to he saved. It is preferable to lceep ground disturbance away from the trees at least as � far out as the dripline. ,� Plants need protection from three kinds of injuries: � � Construction Equipment- This injury can be above or below the � ground level. Damage results from scarring, cutting of roots, and compaction of the soil. Placing a fenced buffer zone around plants to be saved prior to construction can prevent construction equipment � injuries. • GYade Changes - Changing the natuxal ground leve] will alter grades, � which affects the plant's ability to obtain the necessary air, water, and � minerals. Minor fills usually do not cause problems although sensitivity between species does vary and should be checked. Trees � can typically tolerate fill of 6 inches or less. For shrubs and other plants, the fill should be less. When there are znajor changes in grade, it rnay become neeessary to ,� supply air to the roots of plants. This can be done by placzng a layer of ; gravel and a tile systez� over the roots before the fill is made� A tile � system protects a tree from a raised grade.

The system should then be covered with small stones to allow � air to circulate over the raot area. Lowering the natural ground level can ser�ously damage Crees and shrubs. The highest percentage of the plant roots are in the upper 12 � inches of the soil and cuts af only 2-3 inches can cause serious injury. To pratect the roots it may be necessary to terrace the immediate area around the plants to be saved. If roots are expased, construction of � retaining walls may be needed to keep the soil in place. Plants can also be preserved by leaving them on an undisturbed, gently sloping � mound. To increase the chances fox survival, it is best to limit grade changes and other soil disturbances to areas outside the dripline of the � plant. � • Excavations-Protect trees and other plants when excavating for tlrainfields,power, water, and sewer linese Where possible, the trenches should be routed around trees and large shrubs. When this is � not possible, it is best to tunnel under them. This can be done with hand tools or with power augers. If it is not possible to route the trench � around plants to be saved, then the following should be observed: �� Cut as few roots as possible. When you have to cut, cut clean. Paint cut root ends with a wood dressing like asphalt base paint if roots will be exposed for more than 24-hours. � Backfill the trench as soon as possible. � Tunnel beneath root systems as close to the center of the main trunk to preserve most of the important feeder roots. � Some problems that can be encountered with a few specific firees are: � • Maple, Dogwood,Red alder, Western hemlock, Western red cedar, i and Douglas fir do not readily adjust to changes in environment and ;� special care shauld be taken to protect these trees. • The windthrow hazard of Pacific silver fir and madrona is high, while that of Westeix� hemlock is moderate. The danger of windthrow � increases where dense stands have been thinned. Other species (unless they are on shallow, wet soils less than 20 inches deep) have a low windthrow hazard. �� • Cottonwoods, maples, and willows have water-seeking roots. These can cause trouble in sewer lines and infiltration fields. On the other � hand, they thrive in high moisture conditions that other trees would not. j • Thinning operations in pure or mixed stands af Grand fir, Pacific silver �� fir,Noble fr, Sitka spruce,Westem red cedar, Western hemlock, Pacific dogwood, and Red alder can cause serious disease problezns. Disease can become established through damaged limbs, trunks, roots, ,� yolume 11—Constructron,Stormwater-Pollution Prevention -August 2012 � 44 I ' � and freshly cut stumps. Diseased and weakened trees are also susceptible 1ko insect attack. � Maintenance Inspect flagged and/or fenced areas regularly to make sure flagging or Standards fencing has not been removed or damaged. If the flagging or fencing has been damaged or visibility reduced, it shall be repaired or E � replaced immediately and visibility restored. • If tree roots have been exposed or injured, "prune" cleanly with an � appropriate pruning saw or lopers directly above the damaged roots and recover with native soils. Treatment of sap flowing trees (fir, hemlock,pine, soft maples) is not advised as sap forms a natural � healing barrier.

This is � done by constructing a stabilized pad of quarry spalls at entrances and exits for construction sites. Conditions of Use Construction entrances shall be stabilized wherever traffic will be entering � or leaving a construction site if paved roads or other paved areas are within 1,000 feet of the site. For residential construction provide stabilized construction entrances for � each residence,rather than anly at the main subdivision entrance. Stabilized surfaces shall be of sufficient length/width to provide vehicle access/parking,based on lot size/configuration. �, On large commercial, highway, and road projects,the designer should include enough extra materials in the contract to allow for additional � stabilized entrances not shown in the initial Construction SWPPP. It is difficult to determine exactly where access to these projects will take place; additional materials will enable the contractor to install them where � needed. �� Design and See Fi�ure 4.1.1 for details.Note: the 100' minimum length of the Installation entrance shall be reduced to the maximum practicable size when the size �� Specifications or configuration of the site does not allow the full length(100'). Construct stabilized construction entrances with a 12-inch thick pad of 4- inch to 8-inch quarry spalls, a 4-inch course of asphalt treated base � (ATB), or use existing pavement. Do not use crushed concrete, cement, or calcium chloride for construction entrance stabilization because these ' products raise pH levels in stormwater and concrete discharge to surface � waters of the State is prohibited. A separation geotextile shall be placed under the spalls to prevent fine '� sediment from pumping up into the rock pad. The geotextile shall meet the following standards: I '� Grab Tensile Strength(ASTM D4751) 200 psi min. Grab Tensile Elongation(ASTM 30%m�. � D4632) '� Mullen Burst Strength(ASTM 400 psi min.

Also consider the installation of excess concrete as a stabilized entrance. During large ' concrete pours, excess concrete is often available for this purpose. I� Ijolume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Preventaon-August 2012 4-7 � I ' � • Fencing(see BMP C 103) shall be installed as necessary to restrict traffic to the construction entrance. • Whenever possible,the entrance shall be conshucted on a firm, compacted subgrade. This can substantially increase the effectiveness of the pad and reduce the need for maintenance. � • Construction entrances should avoid crossing existing sidewalks and j back of walk drains if at all possible. If a construction entrance must cross a sidewalk or back of walk drain, the full length of the sidewalk � and back of walk drain must be covered and protected from sediment � leaving the site. '� Maintenance Quarry spalls shall be added if the pad is no longer in accordance with Standards the specifications. • If the entrance is not preventing sediment from being tracked onto � pavement, then alternative measures to keep the streets free of sediment shall be used. This may include replacement/cleaning of the existing quarry spalls, street sweeping, an increase in the dimensions � of the entrance, or the installation of a wheel wash. • Any sediment that is tracked onto pavement shall be removed by shoveling or street sweeping. The sediment collected by sweeping � shall be removed or stabilized on site. The pavement shall not be cleaned by washing down the street, except when high efficiency sweeping is ineffective and there is a threat to public safety. If it is � necessary to wash the streets, the construction of a small sump to contain the wash water shall be considered. The sediment would then be washed into the sump where it can be controlled. � • Perform street sweeping by hand or with a high efficiency sweeper. Do not use a non-high efficiency mechanical sweeper because this creates � dust and throws soils into storm systems or conveyance ditches. • Any quarry spalls that are loosened from the pad, which end up on the roadway shall be removed immediately. � • If vehicles are entering or exiting the site at points other than the construction entrance(s), fencing (see BMP C103) shall be installed to � control traffic. • Upon project cornpletion and site stabilization, all construction � accesses intended as permanent access for maintenance shall be permanently stabilized. i ' ' '� Volume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention-August 2012 � 4-8 � I ' � � Drfveway shall meet the requirements of the P����9��Y It(s recommended that the � entrance be aowned so that runoff drains off the pad r}��;,a� �.p��5, � i ��, f �}� � �.

Conditions of Use Use seeding throughout the project on disturbed areas that have reached � final grade or that will remain unworked for more than 30 days. The optimum seeding windows for western Washington are April 1 � through June 30 and September 1 through October 1. � Between July 1 and August 30 seeding requires irrigation unti175 percent � grass cover is established. Between October 1 and March 30 seeding requires a cover of mulch with straw or an erosion control blanket unti175 percent grass cover is � established. Review all disturbed areas in late August to early September and complete all seeding by the end of September. Otherwise,vegetation will not � establish itself enough to provide more than average protection. • Mulch is required at all times for seeding because it protects seeds � from heat,moisture loss, and transport due to runoff. Mulch can be applied on top of the seed or simultaneously by hydroseeding. See BMP C 121: Mulchin� for specifications. � • Seed and mulch, all disturbed areas not otherwise vegetated at final � site stabilization. Final stabilization means the completion of all soil disturbing activities at the site and the establishment of a permanent � vegetative cover, or equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such i as pavement,riprap, gabions or geotextiles)which will prevent � erosion. Design and Seed retention/detention ponds as required. Installation Install channels intended for vegetation before starting major � Specifications earthwork and hydroseed with a Bonded Fiber Matrix. For vegetated � channels that will have high flows, install erosion cantrol blankets over hydroseed. Before allowing water�o flow in vegetated � channels, establish 75 percent vegetation cover. If vegetated � channels cannat be established by seed before water flow; install sod � � in the channel bottom—over hydromulch and erosion control blankets. � � Yolume II–Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention-August 2012 4-13 � ' � • Confirm the installation of all required surface water control measures to prevent seed from washing away. � • Hydroseed applications shall include a minimum of 1,500 pounds per acre of mulch with 3 percent tackifier. See BMP C121: Mulchin� for specifications. �, • Areas that will have seeding only and not landscaping may need ' compost ar meal-based mulch included in the hydroseed in order to � establish vegetation. Re-install native topsoil on the disturbed soil surface before application. • When installing seed via hydroseeding operations, only about 1/3 of � the seed actually ends up in contact with the soil surface. This reduces the ability to establish a good stand of grass quickly. To overcome this, consider increasing seed quantities by up to 50 percent. � • Enhance vegetation establishment by dividing the hydromulch operation into two phases: � 1. Phase 1- Install all seed and fertilizer with 25-30 percent mulch and tackifier onto soil in the first lift. � 2. Phase 2- Install the rest of the mulch and tackifier over the first lift. Or, enhance vegetation by: 1. Installing the mulch, seed, fertilizer, and tackifier in one lift. � 2. Spread or blow straw over the top of the hydromulch at a rate of 800-1000 pounds per acre. � 3. Hold straw in place with a standard tackifier. Both of these approaches will increase cost moderately but will greatly � improve and enhance vegetative establishment. The increased cost may be offset by the reduced need for: • Irrigation. � • Reapplication of mulch. • Repair of failed slope surfaces. � This technique works with standard hydromulch (1,500 pounds per acre minimum) and BFM/MBFMs (3,000 pounds per acre minimum). � • Seed may be installed by hand i£ • Temporary and covered by straw, mulch, or topsoil. � • Permanent in small areas (usually less than 1 acre) and covered with mulch,topsoil, or erosion blankets. � • The seed mixes listed in the tables below include recommended mixes for both temporary and permanent seeding. � volume II—Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention-August 2012 � 4-14 i ' � • Apply these mixes,with the exception of the wetland mix, at a rate of 120 pounds per acre.

Increase fence post min. depths by 6 inches if the fence is located on slopes of 3H:1V or steeper and the slope is perpendicular to the fence. If requued � post depths cannot be obtained, the posts shall be adequately secured by bracing or guying to prevent overturning of the fence due to sediment loading. � 10. Use wood, steel or equivalent posts. The spacing of the support .�, posts shall be a maximum of 6-feet. Posts shall consist of either: • Wood with dimensions of 2-inches by 2-inches wide min. and a 3-feet min. length. Wood posts shall be free of defects such as knots, splits, or gouges. � • No. 6 steel rebar or larger. • ASTM A 120 steel pipe with a minimum diameter of 1-inch. � • U, T, L, or C shape steel posts with a minimum weight of 1.35 lbs./ft. � • Other steel posts having equivalent strength and bending I resistance to the post sizes listed above. � 11. Locate silt fences on contour as much as possible, except at the ends of the fence,where the fence shall be turned uphill such that the silt fence captures the runaff water and prevents water from � flowing around the end of the fence. 12. If the fence must cross contours, with the exception of the ends of � the fence,place gravel check dams perpendicular to the back of the fence to minimize concentrated flow and erosion.

I � BMP C235: Watfies Purpose Wattles are temporary erosion and sediment control barriers consisting of � straw, compost, or other material that is wrapped in biodegradable tubular plastic or similar encasing material. They reduce the velociiy and can spread the flow of rill and sheet runoff, and can capture and retain �, sediment. Wattles are typically 8 to 10 inches in diameter and 25 to 30 feet in length. Wattles are placed in shallow trenches and staked along the contour of disturbed or newly consriucted slopes. See Figure 4.2.14 for �, typical construction details. WSDOT Standard Plan I-30.30-00 also provides information on Wattles � (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Design/StandardsCPlans.htm#SectionI) Conditions of Use • Use wattles: • In disturbed areas that require immediate erosion protection. � • On exposed soils during the period of short construction delays, or over winter months. � • On slopes requiring stabilization until permanent vegetation can be established. � • The material used dictates the effectiveness period of the wattle. Generally, Wattles are typically effective for one to two seasons. � • Prevent rilling beneath wattles by properly entrenching and abutting wattles together to prevent water from passing between them. Design Criteria • Install wattles perpendicular to the flow direction and parallel to the � slope contour. • Narrow trenches should be dug across the slope on contour to a depth of 3- to 5-inches on clay soils and soils with gradual slopes. On loose � soils, steep slopes, and areas with high rainfall,the trenches should be dug to a depth of 5-to 7-inches, or 1/2 to 2/3 of the thickness of the wattle. � • Start building trenches and installing wattles from the base of the slope and work up. Spread excavated material evenly along the uphill slope � and compacted using hand tamping or other methods. • Construct trenches at intervals of 10-to 25-feet depending on the steepness of the slope, soil type, and rainfall. The steeper the slope the � closer together the trenches. � • Install the wattles snugly into the trenches and abut tightly end to end. � Do not overlap the ends. • Install stakes at each end of the wattle, and at 4-foot centers along ' � entire length of wattle.
