traps will be located on the thiee down gradient corners to treat runoff water prior to leaving the site' A
culvert will be placed atihe access poin-t to the pad. Arun-on.diversion trench will be located on the up-
gradient side of the pad to reduce the amount oi runoff from the site. Where appropriate, check dams will be
placed in diversion trenches to reduca vetocity anJ sediment migration. If necessary, armored rundowns wlll
be utilized to transport runoff from the top of iopes to the base of slopes. A pad perimeter BMP consisting
of a berm will be implemented at the top of fill slopes'
lnterim reclamation BMps will consist of any of the following. seeding and straw crimping, hydromulching,
Orift =eeOing, seeding witn Uanfeting. Thesl will be determlned by the actual slopes present once the
construction has been comPleted.
Final reclamation BMps will consist of recontouring the site to as close to original slopes. Seeding and
revegetation to aTAyodistribution of original Oensiiy will take place, prior to being released from the CDPHE
regulatory comPliance.
3.c.4 Materials Handling and Spill Prevention
Fuels afrd Materials Manaqement
petroleum products which may be present at the constiuction site include: gasoline, diesel fuel, fubricant
oils, hydraulic oils, used oils, and solvents. Gasoline and dieset fuel will be stored in portable storage tanks
with secondary containmeni. Luuri"ant, hydraulic, and miscellaneous oils and solvents will be stored in 55-
gallon or smaller containers.
pollutants from petroleum products used during construction activities adhere easily to soil particles and
other surfaces. ln "u* or! spill or leak, soils Iontaminated with petroleum products will be contained and
removed to a proper disposal site. proposed soil erosion and sediment control practices will aid in retention
of spills or leaks. use oisecondary containment and drip pans will reduce the likelihood of spills or leaks
contacting the grounJ. Proposed maintenance and safesiorage practices will reduce the chance of
p*troteuri prod-ucts coniaminating the road site. Oily wastes such as crankcase oil, cans, rags, and paper
containing oils will be placed in proper receptacles and disposed of or recycled' An additional source of
petroleurn contaminati'on ii teats from equipment and vehicles. Routlne daily inspections wilI be conducted
io identify teaks and initiate corrective actlons, if needed'
The following guidelines for storing and managing petroleum products will be used:
. All product containers will be clearly labeled'
. Drums will be kept off the ground within secondary containment and stored under cover if needed'
. Fuel tanks will be stored within secondary containment'
o Lids of drummed materials will be securely fastened'
r Emergency spill response procedures will be available on-site. Persons trained in handling spills will
be on call at alltimes-
r Spill cleanup and containment materials (absorbent, shorlels, etc.) will be easily accessible- Spills
will be immeaiatety cleaned up and contaminated materials will be properly stored on site untilthey
can be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
. Slomge areas and containers will be r"gularly monitored for teaks and repaired or replaced as
necessary. Coniractors and subconlraalors s-hould be reminded about proper storage, handling and
transferrlng of fetroteum products or other hazardous materials during safety meetings.

There will be no dedicated Concrele or Asphalt batch plants within the permitted area- This SWMP will be
amended if this changes in the future.
3-c.6 Vehicle Tracking Control
Vehicle tracking control will be minimized by the construction of roads and travet areas by good engineering
principles. Roads wiu 6e property graded toconfol runoff and erosion. Road surfaces will be upgraded by
the addition of gravel oi,Liint""-Ueing placed on the roadway surface. BMPs will be installed along
roadways to control runoff and sediment'

o Traih and debris from construction materials and workers

Each of these wastes will be managed so as to not contribute to stormwater pollution. construction lrash
