A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan required by this regulation shall contain the following information:
(a) In order to control sediment pollution of water resources, the owner shall be responsible for developing a SWP3 in accordance with Construction General Permit #OHC000002. The owner or operator shall also obtain an Ohio EPA NPDES Storm Water General Permit and shall abide by its requirements in addition to an approved SWP3 from the Community. In situations of conflict between Ohio EPA requirements and Community requirements, the most stringent shall apply.
(b) If the construction site is subject to Ohio’s EPA NPDES General Permits, a copy of all the required inspection sheets shall be submitted to the Community within two (2) working days of the request by the Community.
(c) A professional engineer, registered in the State of Ohio, or a certified professional in erosion and sediment control, certified by the CPESC Council, shall certify the SWP3.
(d) The SWP3 shall incorporate measures as recommended by the most current edition of Rainwater andLand Development Manual and shall include the following information:
(1) A project description including the type and purpose of soil disturbing activities and a description of the larger common plan of development if applicable.
(2) A vicinity sketch locating the site, and the larger common plan of development if applicable, and all pertinent surrounding features within 200 feet of the site including, wetlands, streams, steep slopes, and other sensitive areas receiving runoff from the development area.
(3) The name and location of the immediate receiving water resource and the first subsequent named receiving water resources and the major watershed(s) in which the project is located.
(4) The existing and proposed topography shown is 1’ contour intervals for flat areas and 2’ contour intervals in steeper areas.
(5) The location and description of existing and proposed drainage patterns and storm water management practices, including any related storm water management practices beyond the development area and the larger common development area. Drainage patterns during major phases of construction shall also be shown as appropriate.
(6) Existing and proposed watershed boundary lines, directions of flow, and watershed acreage.
(7) The types and locations of soils with or affected by the development area, including unstable soils as determined by the most recent edition of the Cuyahoga County Soil Survey and/or field investigations performed by NRCS/SWCD personnel, a professional engineer, or a professional soil scientist. The Soil Survey and interpretive assistance may be obtained from the Cuyahoga County SWCD.
(8) The scheduling, phasing, and coordination of construction operations and erosion and sediment control practices, including vegetative plantings and mulch.
(9) Erosion and sediment control, non-sediment pollution control practices, and post construction water quality practices to be employed on the development area, including:
A. Their location and size, including detail drawings, maintenance requirements during construction, and design calculations, all where applicable.
B. The type and amount of approved vegetative cover seed, fertilizer, and mulch to be used.
C. Settling ponds drawn to scale and including dimensions.
D. Limits of clearing and of soil disturbing activities.
E. Areas designated for the storage or disposal of solid, sanitary and toxic water, including dumpster areas and concrete truck washouts.
F. The name, address, and contact information of the person responsible for the continued maintenance of the erosion and sediment control practices.
(e) Inspection and Maintenance Agreement between the City and the applicant which meets the standards set forth in Section 1336.10
and contains the following information and provisions:
(1) Detail drawings that include the location of each storm water pollution prevention practice. Maintenance plans must be provided for all post- construction best management practices (BMPs).
(2) A schedule for regular maintenance for each aspect of the storm water management system to ensure continued performance of that system as is detailed in the Storm Water Control Plan. This schedule may include additional standards, as required by the City Engineer, to ensure the continued performance of the storm water management practices.
(3) Identification of the person or entity responsible for continued maintenance of all vegetative and/or mechanical BMPs for both the construction and post-construction phase of the development project.
(4) The plan will identify the person or entity financially responsible for maintaining the permanent inspection and maintenance of the permanent storm water conveyance and storage structures and other conservation practices.
(5) The method of ensuring that funding will be available to conduct the long term maintenance and inspections of all permanent storm water soil erosion and sediment control, storm water detention, and water quality practices will be identified.
(6) Identification of all easements.
