20.
Until the site is stabilized, all erosion and sediment control BMPs must be
maintained properly.
Maintenance must include
inspections of all erosion and sediment control BMPs after each runoff
event and on a weekly basis.
All preventative and remedial maintenance work, including cleanout,
repair, replacement,
re-grading, reseeding, re-mulching and re-netting must be performed
immediately. If erosion and
sediment control BMPs fail to perform as expected, replacement BMPs
or modifications of those
installed will be required.
21. The permittee and co-permittee must ensure that visual site inspections are
conducted weekly, and after each measurable precipitation event by qualified
personnel, trained and experienced in erosion and sediment control, to ascertain
that the Erosion and Sediment Control ( E&S) BMPs are
operational and effective in
preventing pollution to the waters of the Commonwealth. A written report of each
inspection shall be kept, and include:
1) a summary of the site conditions, E&S BMPs, and compliance; and
2)
the date, time, and the name of the person conducting the inspection.
22.
Any sediment removed from BMPs during construction will be returned to upland
areas on site and incorporated into the site grading.
