1 NPDES - PCSM National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Post Construction Stormwater Management Permit Preparation Jim Pillsbury PE, Kathy Hamilton RLA Engineer s Workshop March 17-18, 2016 WCD 2015
2 Who needs NPDES? ANY earth disturbance on 1 acre or more General Permit for WWF, TSF, CWF Individual Permit for HQ, EV, or Act 2 WCD 2015
3 NPDES Permit Components 03/2016 E&S Control Plan PCSM Thermal Impact Analysis Critical Stages Antidegradation Analysis (Individual NPDES) Completeness review Checklist Worksheets 1 5, 10 (General NPDES) Worksheets 1 13 (Individual NPDES) WCD 2016
4 PCSM Post Construction Stormwater Management: IS Stormwater Management with an emphasis on the 2 year storm WCD 2015

8 Pre-Development: illustrates the NATURAL hydrologic cycle
9 Post Development: illustrates the IMPAIRED hydrologic cycle
10 PCSM Plan Goals Maximize infiltration of ground water Protect structural integrity of streams Protect/maintain designated uses / classifications of streams (WWF-HQ) WCD 2015
11 Important PCSM Plan Location Map on USGS Quadrangle Inclusions: Receiving Water / Watershed Name and Chapter 93 Receiving Water Classification Municipal Storm Sewer or Private Storm Sewer Operator WCD 2015
12 PCSM Plan NPDES Form Worksheets Narrative and calculations Drawings WCD 2015
13 NPDES Section C Fills, cut-fill-balance Waters of the Commonwealth MS4 s: new standards soon TMDL s: are you causing an increase? Impaired: is it impaired by something similar to what you are doing? WCD 2016
14 NPDES Section D E&S and PCSM Plan 1-2. E&S Plan and PCSM Plan information 3. Summary Table for Supporting Calculation and Measurement Data 4. Summary Description of PCSM BMPs 5. Off Site Discharge Analysis 6. Potential Pollution Causing Materials 7. Riparian Buffers 8. Thermal Impacts Analysis 9. Critical Stages WCD 2015

22 4. Summary Description of PCSM BMPs The numbers for this chart come from the Chapter 8 Worksheets The BMP s listed on this chart must agree with Worksheet 5 Notice, it says Treated

24 Would you only choose one item?
25 5. Off-site Discharge Analysis Discharge of stormwater to areas other than surface water Demonstrate discharge will not cause erosion, damage or nuisance off-site Flow should be documented by legal authorization, easements Level spreader for discharge
26
27 6. Potential Pollution Causing Materials Identify naturally occurring geologic formations or soil conditions which may cause pollution Provide BMPs to avoid or minimize any pollution or impacts during earth disturbance
28 7. Riparian Buffer Does the project take place in an HQ or EV watershed (Special Protection)? Protect, convert, or establish a Riparian Buffer? Functionally Equivalent BMP s to replace lost buffer Buffer Offset to replace lost buffer
29 New Buffer Requirements WCD 2016
30 More buffer info Demonstrate BMP equivalency for buffer areas lost, in the zone between 100 and 150 feet from the stream Use WS 14 to quantify the pollutant loading from the impacted area Use WS 15 to demonstrate that the BMP s chosen will address the pollutant load
31 more buffer info For buffer areas lost within 100 feet from the stream, must provide buffer offsetting Offset buffer area should be within the same watershed, or, within another HQ/EV watershed Offset buffer must be forested & have a depth of at least 100 feet Demonstrate functional equivalency
32 WCD 2016
33 8. Thermal Impacts How thermal impacts are avoided, minimized or mitigated: Minimal impervious surfaces Green roof Porous pavement Shade, maximize use of vegetated areas Discharge from bottom of impoundments Subsurface impoundments WCD 2015
34 EXISTING TREES TO REMAIN, COMPLETE SITE LANDSCAPING, PLANTS IN THE BIO-INFILTRATION AREAS, VEGETATED ROOF, STORMWATER RELEASED FROM BOTTOM OF POOL
35 9. Recommended Critical Stages Sequence / stable contributory area Excavation to subgrade / site preparation Stormwater management BMP construction: Earthwork / embankment construction Underdrain (stone layer / geotextile) Pipe materials / connections (underdrain, outlet riser, barrel, cleanout) Soil mix / soil placement / soil ripping Seeding / blankets / mulching / stabilization Plants and plantings
36 CONSTRUCTION OF BASIN EMBANKMENT, INSTALLATION OF BASIN OUTLET STRUCTURE, INSTALLATION OF BIO- INFILTRATION AREAS, TOPSOIL RIPPING AND PLACEMENT OF SOIL AMENDMENTS AND SEEDING
37 NPDES Section E Antidegradation Analysis Module for Individual NPDES Permits in HQ/EV watersheds Non-Discharge Alternatives Evaluation Choose some, don t leave blank! Antidegradation Best Available Combination of Technologies (ABACT) Choose some, don t leave blank!!
38 NPDES Section F Consultant for this Project 1. Qualified professional engineer Structural BMPs 2. Qualified professional surveyor, landscape architect, or other Non-structural BMPs Certain structural BMPs WCD 2015

57 A suburban watershed! Note the number of houses Note the length of streets What are some of the ground cover conditions you see here? What might be the curve number here?
58 WCD 2015
59 Curve Number Method (bottom of Worksheet 4) 1. Runoff (in) = Q = (P-0.2S)²/(P+0.8S) Where P = 2-year Rainfall (in) S = (1000/CN) Runoff Volume (CF) = Q x Area x 1/12 Q = Runoff (in) Area = Land use area (sqft)
60 Worksheet 5 The numbers on this worksheet must agree with the BMP s listed on the NPDES Summary Description! Volume permanently removed should actually refer to volume treated by BMP s Area in square feet area of the BMP or area treated, make a note
