Figure 2-4. View of the silt fence in the area behind the truck.

It's a good thing we walked around the truck to check out this area. The silt fence in the area
behind the truck appears to be undercut, or perhaps it was improperly installed. This area is
below the curb line, so stormwater will likely pond in this area instead of flowing into the road.
Even so, the operator must repair the silt fence or consider implementing another control to
reduce the potential for stormwater pollution from turbid water overtopping the curb. Add this
finding to your inspection report and note that it requires routine maintenance if the silt fence is
repaired, or corrective action if the silt fence is replaced in its entirety or a new type of control is
installed. Talk to the operator about this issue and remind them that routine maintenance or
corrective action, whichever applies, must be initiated immediately after the inspection.

Figure 2-5. Another view of the silt fence in the area behind the truck.

This is a view of the area behind the truck. The silt fence perimeter control is damaged. Because
this area is lower than the curb line, it's unlikely that sediment would migrate into the road, but
the silt fence helps prevent turbid water from overtopping the curb. So, you must still note this
condition in your inspection report as requiring routine maintenance to repair the silt fence.

We are now in an area where the operator stores equipment and materials. Here, you must
keep an eye out for sources of non-sediment poiiutants, like fuels, chemicals, and wastes.
Remember, the operator must minimize the opportunities for stormwater to contact pollutant
sources and implement controls to prevent pollutants in stormwater from discharging. Explore
this area by selecting all icons, and then turn around to return to the construction entrance.

Figure 4-4. Fuel tank in the materials storage area.

This is one of several double-walled diesel fuel tanks stored on-site. During site inspections, you
need to check that the fuel storage container is not damaged or leaking. To do this, you need
to walk fully around the container and check all sides. This fuel tank appears to be in good
condition.

There is a black box on top of this fuel tank. During your site inspection, if you don't recognize
what an object is, ask the operator. In this case, this black box contains a fire extinguisher.

Figure 4-5. View of the back of the fuel tank.

This view is of the back of the fuel tank. During an inspection, you must make sure to walk all the
way around fuel containers and check the ground for stains or spills. The ground around this fuel
tank doesn't appear to have any staining.

Information Icon (Left)

if any chemical container has a storage capacity of 55 gallons or more, the container must be
covered or stored within secondary containment in accordance with Part 2.3.3 of the CGP. This
fuel tank is double-walled and thus meets the secondary containment requirement.

Image Icon (Third from the Left)

Figure 4-6. View of the back of two dumpsters.

During inspections, you need to walk around waste storage areas to make sure the area is free
of staining, trash, and debris. You're currently looking at the back of the two dumpsters and the
ground in this area appears clean.

12

-------
Image Icon (Fourth from the Left)

Figure 4-7. View of the front of two dumpsters.

The operator uses these two dumpsters for general construction and domestic wastes. It appears
that trash is almost overflowing the dumpster on the right. You should remind the operator to
empty the dumpsters before they overflow.

Image Icon (Fifth from the Left)

Figure 4-8. Two dumpsters without covers in the materials storage area.

These dumpsters do not have covers. Remind the operator that they must provide cover such as
plastic sheeting or a temporary roof, or a similarly effective means to prevent the discharge of
pollutants, such as secondary containment. These dumpsters must be covered at the end of the
business day and during storm events. Document this observation in your inspection report and
discuss it with the operator promptly after your inspection. This situation triggers a corrective
action because a required stormwater control was never installed.

Figure 4-9. There is a grease slain on the ground in the materials storage area.

There is a large grease stain on the ground here circled in red. Document this as a finding in your
inspection report and request routine maintenance. The operator must clean up spills
immediately using dry clean-up methods where possible. You will also want to make sure that
adequate supplies are available, such as a spill kit, to handle the clean-up."

Information Icon (Right)

In areas where vehicles or heavy machinery are stored, you must inspect around and
underneath the vehicles and machinery for signs of leaking and staining. The operator must use
drip pans and absorbents under leaky vehicles. Fortunately, there are no leaks under or around
these vehicles.

6.2. Opening Narration

Let's stop here since there are many types of materials stored at this subcontractor's trailer.
Before you begin inspecting, think about how stormwater would flow through and around this
area. As you conduct your inspections, it is important to be aware of the locations of drainage
pathways and storm drains or other discharge points. This knowledge will help you assess how
likely it is for stormwater to come into contact with pollutant sources. Make sure to explore the
entire area so that you don't miss any icons before selecting the arrow icon to move closer to
the trailer.

7.2. Opening Narration

You've done a lot of walking, but there is a lot more to see. Now that we've moved closer to the
storage area, you can examine the various items stored here. The operator keeps another diesel
fuel tank here, and there are various containers and equipment stored under the scaffolding.
There is also a flammables storage cabinet and a pile of fuel containers on the ground. Select
the icons to learn more about what to inspect in this area. When you're done, select the arrow
icon to view the other side of the fuel tank.

Figure 7-2. Composite view of interactive icons for Site I, Area 24.

Figure 7-3. Fuel tank near subcontractor's trailer.

Here is another fuel tank that is larger than 55 gallons. This one seems to be in good condition.
For chemical containers that store more than 55 gallons, you need to verify that the container is
not within 50 feet of receiving waters, drainage systems, or stormwater inlets. This site is not near
and does not directly drain to any receiving waters.

Information Icon (Left)

Here is another black box with a fire extinguisher inside. While not a stormwater concern, this
may be a safety issue that you could point out.

Information Icon (Rightj

We have not observed a spill kit on-site. The operator must keep a spill kit accessible because it is
required by the CGP where fuel tanks are stored on-site, regardless of container size. Record this
as a finding that triggers corrective action because a required control is not present at the site.

21

-------
Image Icon (Third from the Rightj

Figure 7-4. Flammables cabinet near subcontractor's trailer.

It's good to see that the operator keeps a flammables cabinet to store flammable materials.
Next to the flammables cabinet, you can see a metal pump sprayer on the ground, which may
be used for spraying pesticides, fertilizer, or other chemicals. This area is under the stairs of the
scaffolding, which does not provide adequate cover for the sprayer since it is partially exposed
to precipitation. Include this as a finding in the inspection report and note that it requires routine
maintenance. Because moving the sprayer under the cover of the scaffolding is something that
can be done quickly and easily, this can be treated as routine maintenance. Corrective action
would only be required if cover was not readily available and a new control was necessary.

Image Icon (Second from the Right)

Figure 7-5. View inside the subcontractor's storage trailer.

The operator stores various materials inside this trailer, which minimizes exposure to stormwater.

22

-------
Image Icon (First from the Right)

Figure 7-6. Pile of fuel containers near subcontractor's trailer.

This pile of small fuel containers on the ground is a potential pollution source. These containers
are empty; however, during future inspections, if you find fuel containers such as these that hold
less than 55 gallons and that are not empty, you need to tell the operator to use a spill
containment pallet or similar device to capture small leaks or spills. If these containers had not
been empty, this finding would have triggered a corrective action because a required control
was never installed.

This bit of gray staining seems concerning. Make sure you check it out when we get to this area.

Image Icon

Figure 10-3. View of various building materials in the materials storage area.

The operator stores a variety of building materials here. Keep in mind that the operator must
cover or contain any building materials that could release pollutants when exposed to
stormwater, such as the pile of sand here. Because there is no sign of a cover or secondary
containment, you need to document this as a finding in your inspection report that triggers a
corrective action and present it to the operator. Corrective action is required here, as opposed
to routine maintenance, because a required control was never installed. Remind the operator
that they must initiate the corrective action immediately after the inspection and complete the
required corrective action log documentation.

By comparison, it is not necessary to cover the unused metal concrete forms and other products
because they are designed for outdoor use and pose little risk of contaminating stormwater. If
you are not sure about the composition of the materials stored on-site, you need to ask the
operator to determine which materials must be covered or otherwise contained.

Figure 11-4. Portable toilets in the materials storage area.

When inspecting portable toilets, you need to check that they are positioned securely so they
will not be knocked over and are located away from receiving waters, drainage features, or
stormwater inlets. These toilets are on level, paved ground and are not near any drains.

31

-------
Image Icon (Second from the Left)

Figure 11-5. View of various construction materials stacked in the materials storage area.

The materials stored here include masonry products and bagged sand on pallets. These
products are not likely to generate pollutants when exposed to stormwater so long as the bags
remain intact. You need to talk to the operator about what else is being stored in this area to
determine which materials must be covered or contained.

Image Icon (Second from the Right)

Figure 11-6. View of a compactor parked in the materials storage area.

Here is a problem—there is a compactor parked over a storm drain. It's difficult to see from here,
but this storm drain does not have any protection measures. If the compactor leaked pollutants,
it would discharge directly into the storm drain inlet. On the site map, this storm drain is labeled
as requiring an inlet protection measure. Document this finding as triggering a corrective action
because a required stormwater control was never installed and because it's possible that a
prohibited discharge has occurred. Raise these concerns with the operator so they can begin
implementing the corrective actions immediately after the inspection.

Image Icon (First from the Right)

Figure 11-7. Concrete washout on the ground in the materials storage area.

Unfortunately, here is another spot of concrete washout, and this time it's immediately adjacent
to the storm drain that's under the compactor. This is the gray staining we saw from a distance
earlier. It appears that some of the concrete washout has gone into the storm drain. Document
this as a finding in your inspection report and present this finding to the operator after the
inspection. This finding triggers a corrective action because the operator does not appear to
have an appropriate concrete washout container, and a prohibited discharge appears to have
occurred. Corrective actions must include setting up a concrete washout station and properly
disposing of any liquid or hardened washout waste. Concrete washout activities must be
conducted as far away as possible from storm drain inlets. Raise these concerns with the
operator so they can begin implementing the corrective actions immediately after the
inspection.

Here is a view of the back of the portable toilets. The boxes stored here are on pallets, but some
of the boxes are damaged and pieces are spilling onto the ground. It's difficult to see from this
angle, but a closer look reveals that some of these materials are not intended for outdoor use
and must be covered when the operator is not actively using them, or the operator must
provide a similarly effective means to minimize exposure to precipitation. The operator does not
appear to be covering these materials. Document this finding in your inspection report as
triggering a corrective action. Corrective action is required here, as opposed to routine
maintenance because a required control was never installed, which is a trigger for corrective
action under the CGP. Present this finding to the operator after the inspection and remind them
that they must initiate corrective actions immediately.

Figure 13-4. Fuel tanks by a trailer near the end of the materials storage area.

Here you see another large fuel tank. According to the SWPPP, this tank is double walled, which
satisfies the CGP's secondary containment requirement for fuel containers larger than 55
gallons, which this container seems to be. It's good to see that the fuel tank is sitting on a pallet,
which means that during a storm event, it won't come into contact with stormwater flow. The
tank also seems to be sitting within a yellow spill containment liner. This liner would not provide
adequate containment due to its small size and collapsed sides, but the operator has indicated
in their SWPPP that these fuel tanks are double-walled. On their own, double-walled tanks meet
the CGP's requirement for .secondary containment.

It appears there is also a small red fuel container sitting on the ground beside the trailer. If this
container is in use, the operator needs to store it on a spill containment pallet or similar device to
capture small leaks or spills. You need to ask the operator if the container is being used. If so,
document the lack of controls as findings in your inspection report. The failure to implement
required controls would trigger a coirective action.

37

-------
Image Icon (Middle)

Figure /3-5. View of the back of the large fuel tank.

Remember to always walk all the way around whatever you are inspecting. Now that you're
looking at the other side of the fuel tank, you can see that the tank is not placed entirely within
the yellow spill containment lining. If this container was not double-walled, any leak from the
back left corner would go directly onto the ground. However, this specific tank is double-walled,
appears to be in good condition, and the ground appears clean.

Image Icon (Rightj

Figure 13-6. Second large fuel tank in a corner by the trailer.

During inspections, it's a good idea to go the extra step and investigate all the nooks and
crannies. This area would have been easy to miss, but it's a good thing you checked it out,
because there is another fuel tank in the corner that is not identified in the SWPPP or on the
SWPPP site map. Ask the operator if the tank is being used. If so, document the lack of controls
and the omission of the fuel tank from the SWPPP as findings in your inspection report. The failure
to implement required controls would trigger a corrective action. Raise this concern with the
operator so they can begin implementing the corrective action immediately after the
inspection. The SWPPP would also need to be updated, including the site map, within seven

After you walk past the freshly disturbed patch of ground from the previous area, there is a
section of collapsed silt fence. It does not look like the silt fence can be easily repaired. Because
the silt fence needs to be replaced in its entirety, this condition triggers a corrective action.
Document this finding in your inspection report and communicate the finding to the operator so
they can complete the required corrective action to replace the silt fence.

that triggers a corrective action in your inspection report because a required control was never
installed. Raise this concern with the operator so they can begin the corrective action
immediately after the inspection.

We have returned to the starting location. For the sake of time, we will not walk the rest of the
way down Second Street during this virtual inspection. Remember that you must inspect the
entire permitted project area during an actual site inspection. This concludes the 360-degree
inspection of the first construction site. Take one last look around this site to observe anything you
may have missed initially, such as the storm drain inlet. Select the icons here before selecting the
exit icon to return to Module 5. From there, you will review your findings from Site 1 before
beginning the second construction site inspection.

Figure 17-4. Close-up view of storm drain at the intersection of Second Street and Main Street.

Here is a stormwater inlet you did not visit previously. This inlet has filter fabric inside the storm
drain inlet that collects sediment from discharged stormwater. There is a gap in the filter fabric
coverage on the right side of the inlet that requires routine maintenance, such as repairing or
repositioning the filter fabric. Document this finding in your inspection report as a condition that
requires routine maintenance. This finding is considered routine maintenance because the
control needs minor repair or upkeep. Keep in mind that although there is not a large amount of
sediment immediately visible around the stormwater inlet, conditions may still occur where the
protection measure is necessary, such as track-out from the active construction area. You need
to notify the operator about this finding so they can immediately initiate routine maintenance to
repair the control. If the operator chooses to replace the control in its entirety instead of
repairing it, the fix would then become a corrective action

18.2. Narration

Before you conclude the inspection, take a moment to summarize your findings. These findings
may change if the operator provides new information. Here are the findings you observed that
require routine maintenance. You need to have a discussion with the operator about any issues
and suggested fixes so they are aware of what issues you found on their site, but the operator is
ultimately responsible for carrying out the work by the CGP-required deadlines. You should also
remind the operator that they must initiate necessary routine maintenance work immediately
and complete the work by the close of the next business day. Select each finding to see an
image of the issue and a suggested routine maintenance fix.

19.2. Narration

Remember, you must also consult past inspection reports to determine if a particular routine
maintenance fix has been made to the same control three or more times. In this situation, even if
the fix can be completed by the close of the next business day, you must flag the finding as a
corrective action instead of routine maintenance and resolve the issue following the CGP's
corrective action procedures, unless you can document in your inspection report why the
specific reoccurrence of this same problem should still be addressed as a routine maintenance
fix.

For our virtual inspection of Site 1, let's assume we've reviewed past inspection reports and
determined that the second issue in this list, the damaged erosion control matting on the
diversion berm, has been observed in the same location two times in the past. Because of these
past occurrences, we should elevate our finding from routine maintenance to corrective action.
Let's make sure to add this finding to our list of corrective actions.

21.2. Narration

You may remember flagging two other findings as corrective actions during our site inspection.
First, in the materials storage area, you observed a compactor parked on top of an unprotected
inlet. Second, near the contractor's trailers, you observed a neglected and unprotected inlet.
According to the SWPPP and site map, both of these inlets should be protected. However, after
talking to the operator about these findings, it turns out that both of these inlets have been
abandoned and are not connected to a new storm sewer system for this project. Based on this
new information, you can conclude that these findings do not trigger corrective action and you
must revise your inspection report accordingly. However, the operator must update both their
SWPPP and site map to reflect that these inlets are no longer active and do not need inlet
protection. According to CGP Part 7.4, the operator must modify their SWPPP and site map
within seven calendar days.

If the same routine maintenance was found to be necessary three or more times for the same control at the same location (including this occurrence),
follow the corrective action requirements and record the required information in your corrective action log, or describe here why you believe the specific
condition should still be addressed as routine maintenance:

1 Routine maintenance includes minor repairs or other upkeep performed to ensure that the site's stormwater controls remain in effective operating condition, not including
significant repairs or the need to install a new or replacement control. Routine maintenance is also required for specific conditions: (1) for perimeter controls, whenever sediment
has accumulated to half or more the above-ground height of the control (CGP Part 2.2.3.c.i); (2) where sediment has been tracked-out from the site onto paved roads,
sidewalks, or other paved areas (CGP Part 2.2.4.d); (3) for inlet protection measures, when sediment accumulates, the filter becomes clogged, and/or performance is
compromised (CGP Part 2.2.10.b); and (4) for sediment basins, as necessary to maintain at least half of the design capacity of the basin (CGP Part 2.2.12.f)

2Corrective actions are triggered only for specific conditions (CGP Part 5.1):

1.	A stormwater control needs a significant repair or a new or replacement control is needed, or, in accordance with Part 2.1 A.c, you find it necessary to repeatedly (i.e., three
(3) or more times) conduct the same routine maintenance fix to the same control at the same location (unless you document in your inspection report under Part 4.7.1 .c that
the specific reoccurrence of this same problem should still be addressed as a routine maintenance fix under 2.1.4); or

2.	A stormwater control necessary to comply with the requirements of this permit was never installed, or was installed incorrectly; or

3.	Your discharges are not meeting applicable water quality standards; or

4.	A prohibited discharge has occurred (see CGP Part 1.3); or

5.	During the discharge from site dewatering activities:

a.	The weekly average of your turbidity monitoring results exceeds the 50 NTU benchmark (or alternate benchmark if approved by EPA pursuant to Part 3.3.2.b); or

b.	You observe or you are informed by EPA, State, or local authorities of the presence of the conditions specified in Part 4.6.3.e.
