SECTION 01 7418
WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
EDIT NOTES:
A. THE GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS LISTS THREE SECTIONS FOR WATER
POLLUTION PREVENTION. THESE SECTIONS SHOULD BE USED AS
INDICATED BELOW. TOTAL LAND DISTURBANCE SHOULD INCLUDE
PROJECT, STOCKPILE AND STAGING AREAS.
1.
PROJECTS WITH LAND DISTURBANCE OF ONE ACRE OR MORE
SHALL INCLUDE SPECIFICATION SECTION 01_7416, STORM
WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN, UNLESS IT MEETS THE
REQUIREMENTS OF CONDITION # 2 LISTED BELOW.
2.
SITES WITH LAND DISTURBANCE WITHIN ONE TO FIVE ACRES
WITH WAIVER SUBMITTED THROUGH SMARTS AND APPROVED
BY THE WATER BOARD SHOULD USE SPEC SECTION 01_7417, BMP
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
3.
SITES WITH LAND DISTURBANCE OF LESS THAN ONE ACRE:
a.
IF SITE IS PART OF A LARGER DEVELOPMENT OF ONE ACRE
OR MORE, OR IF SWPPP/NOI IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN
CHPS/LEED CERTIFICATION, USE SECTION 01_7416, STORM
WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN.
b. IF PROJECTS MAINTAINS ORIGINAL LINE & GRADE,
HYDRAULIC CAPACITY, AND ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF THE
FACILITY (I.E. MINOR TRENCHING PROJECTS, HVAC, FIRE
ALARM PROJECTS, ETC.), SECTION 01_7418, WATER
POLLUTION CONTROL, MAY BE USED.
c.
NON-MAINTENANCE PROJECTS, USE SPECIFICATION
SECTION 01_7417, BMP IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

REQUIREMENTS
A.
B.
CONTRACTOR shall:
1.
Implement Good Site Management "Housekeeping".
2.
Install and maintain BMPs. Insure that BMPs are designed to protect all
exposed portions of the site, including:
a.
Erosion, Sediment, Tracking, and Wind Erosion Control BMPs.
b.
Non--storm Water Control BMPs.
c.
Waste Management BMPs.
3.
Incorporate BMP activities into the Project Schedule.
4.
Inform CONTRACTOR and Subcontractors personnel on the BMP
procedures to prevent pollutants from entering the storm drain system,
before the start of construction activities. Keep personnel informed of the
BMP implementation process and of changes to the procedures. Provide
record to OAR of Storm Water Topics discussed.
5.
Pay fines and penalties from regulatory agencies against OWNER due to
CONTRACTOR’S non-compliance with storm water regulations.
OWNER shall recover costs of fines and penalties by appropriate
OWNER assessment. Review of the BMPs by OAR shall not relieve
CONTRACTOR from liabilities arising from non-compliance of storm
water pollution regulations.
Project Inspector and OEHS Inspector will conduct inspection and examination of
site storm water regulation compliance.

STORAGE AND PROTECTION
A.
Provide proper storage of materials and equipment to prevent rain and storm
water runoff to come in contact with pollutants, such as soil stabilizers, paint or
fluids from vehicles.

NOT USED
PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.01
IMPLEMENTATION
A.
Install perimeter controls prior to starting Work at the Project site.
B.
Implement BMP plan to contain on-site storm water on the Project site. Provide
storm drain inlet protection. Do not drain on-site water directly into the storm drain
without proper BMP in place.
C.
Prevent pollutant discharges into the storm drain system. Prevent storm water from
coming into contact with pollutants, such as sediment, material spills, or leakage

from storage tanks, waste containers or transfer areas. In the event contamination is
found CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify OAR who will contact the OEHS.
D.
Protect exposed dirt, such as stockpiles, landscaping areas, and hillsides.
E.
Properly manage non-storm water discharges such as ground water, broken utility
lines and fire hydrant testing per BMP Implementation Plan.
F.
Adjust BMP’s locations and layouts in accordance to construction progress to assure
compliance to regulations.
