Baldwin & Shell Inc: Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (Other (Not Listed) Sample) Content: Baldwin and Shell, Inc: Storm Water Pollution Prevention PlanStudents Name:Institutional Affiliation: Baldwin and Shell, Inc: Storm Water Pollution Prevention PlanIntroduction The FWPCA Act passed by congress in the year 1972 aims at ensuring quality waterways in the US. The Act has helped to ensure Americas waterways and pools contain water that is suitable for fishing, is drinkable and swimmers can take a swim in them. The addition of WQA (Water Quality Act) to the law helped regulate the stormwater that is discharged from industries. Baldwin and Shells SWPPP is intended to comply with the relevant laws in its intended construction projects. There are a number of items under this plan.Site Description The companys next project will involve the construction of an administration building for WRMC (Washington Regional Medical Center). The sites location is in Fayetteville Kansas. One access it through Appleby road or North Hills Drive. The site is next to an open land on its western side. On the northern side are office buildings and a Freeway to the Northern side. There are also some office buildings to its southern side. The development in the proposal will cover 11.6 acres. This includes the main buildings space, a staging area and a zone for trailers involved in the construction project. Runoff Coefficient and Site Area The size of the area will be 11.6 acres. The runoff coefficient developed for the is 0.6. Clarksville-Nixa-Noark will be the soil association that usually has a gentle slope to steep. It is also moderately to well-drained. Some of the activities that are soil disturbing include construction activities and the provision of the staging area for the construction project. Drainage Patterns The patterns for the natural drainages tend to the southwestern and northwestern directions cutting across the site and into Clabber Creeks storm-water management system. This then flows into River Illinois before ending up in River Arkansas (Th is river falls into category 5a-5e of the Arkansas water bodies). There will be a transmittal letter that will be enclosed in a copy of the plan and forwarded to Americas Fish and Wildlife Agency requesting them to look out for any species considered endangered within the construction area. The Order of Construction ActivitiesThe first activity will involve the installation of the constructions entrance, hay bales, and a Silt Fence. The second activity will be placing the office trailers and the stage for use in the construction. Putting up of the office buildings and a parking area will then followThe fourth item will be the installation of permanent seeding. The final activity is the removal of the measures for erosion control and seeding of any of the remaining areas. Erosion Controls The company will choose the best management practices, install and maintain them at the construction site. Such practices will constitute those that will ensure a minimum amount of pollutants in the companys discharge to meet the set standards in relation to water quality. The company will place Hay bales in the points of discharge along the locations of drain from storm to reduce the speed and filter out debris, preventing them from being discharged. There will also be an ingress area of B-stone, 50 in length to inhibit the sediments offsite tracking occasioned by construction vehicles. Solid discharge materials will be removed from the site using disposal dumpsters. This will prevent the waste materials from getting to the countrys waters. In addition, the company will also put in place toilettes that are portable for use during the construction period for use by both visitors to and workers at the site. The reason for this is to enable the firm to comply with waste disposal regulations both at the local and state level. A spot controlled for runoff will be identified where the servicing and all repairs of equipment can take place during the construction period. There may al so be other discharges that consist mainly of non-storm water such as uncontaminated water-line flushings, routine equipment washdown, dust control water, and fire hydrant flushings. During the construction of the parking area, the locations disturbed be seeded temporarily within 14 days of the last recorded construction activity. There will be an effort to ensure the size of the areas disturbed is maintained at a minimum. Following the final construction activity will be an application of seeding and fertilization within 14 days. Afterward, mulching using straw will follow. Silt fencing will then be carried out along three sides of the site to provide for the control of sediment. Debris coming off the tires of tracks will b...
