Bureau of Watershed Management Preliminary Regulatory Proposal Chapter 102 Erosion, Sediment and Stormwater Management December 19, 2007
2
Themes for Change Comprehensive requirements Complimentary E&S/PCSM requirements Reference water quality protection and permitting regulations Post-Construction Stormwater Management
3
Earth Disturbance Activities (other than agriculture) Maintain a minimum vegetated buffer or riparian forest buffer width of 100 feet in special protection waters and a minimum of 50 feet width in waters other than special protection between disturbed areas and top of bank of a watercourse, or natural or artificial lake, pond, or reservoir Develop criteria for management activities within buffer areas
4
Planning and Implementation ID special protection BMPs to protect and maintain the water from degradation in –special protection watersheds; or –where a TMDL has been developed for siltation Post Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) –Manage post construction stormwater volume, rate, and water quality –ID PCSM Plans and Narrative Requirements –Maintain a minimum riparian forest buffer from top of bank along a watercourse, or natural or artificial pond, lake or reservoir
5
General Reference design manuals for BMP design, installation and maintenance Temporary stabilization standard and permanent stabilization standard ID Property rights and off-site discharges ID monitoring and inspection requirements Include Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency (PPC) Plan requirements
6
Permit Activities 1-5 Acres with a point source discharge 5 acres or more 25 acres timber harvesting or road maintenance activities 5 acres or more for oil and gas related earth disturbance activities Operation and maintenance of PCSM BMPs
7
IPs for Higher Risk Activities Proposed project areas with extensive earth disturbance (e.g. 50 acres or greater) Proposed project areas with high % impervious Proposed PCSM volume or rate increases Earth disturbance in sensitive areas such as headwater areas, steep slopes, geologic formations of concern, flood prone areas and wetlands
8
Permit Applications ID permit application requirements Plans prepared and sealed by a qualified licensed professional Revised permit fees ID public notice and public hearing requirements and responsibilities ID public access to information ID permit approval, denial, and duration
9
Permit Types Permit-by-Rule –PCSM –Emergency remediation or clean-up activities General Permit Individual Permits ID permit conditions ID new and amended permits ID re-issuance or renewal of permits ID transfer of permit obligations Verify completion and final plans Permit termination
10
