The preparation and implementation of the SWPPP is intended to ensure that the Contractor will make every reasonable effort to prevent the pollution of water resources during the period of construction. The size and nature of this Contract place it under the regulations of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharge Associated with Construction Activity. In the State of California, these regulations are adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board. These regulations require a SWPPP for any work where clearing, grading, and excavation result in a land disturbance of five or more acres. As a result, the Contractor shall prepare, submit to the CITY for review and approval, and implement a SWPPP for this Contract in compliance with these regulations.
The handbooks specified in 7-8.6.1 shall be followed and adhered to in preparing the SWPPP.

During all periods of construction, excavated soils which are stored on-site shall be completely covered with waterproof material and sand (or gravel) bagged or bermed in order that, in the event of a storm, no soil becomes mixed with or transported by storm water run-off.
If, during construction operations, field conditions change in a manner which, in the opinion of the Engineer, significantly deviates from how the SWPPP, as approved by the CITY, addressed the current construction operation, the Engineer may direct the Contractor to revise the current construction operation and/or the SWPPP. Such directions will be made in writing and will specify the items of work for which the SWPPP is inadequate. No further work on these items will be permitted until the Contractor revises the construction operations to the satisfaction of the Engineer and/or until the Contractor submits a revised SWPPP and receives CITY approval. The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the acceptance or rejection of the revised SWPPP within seven (7) working days from the date of submittal.
The SWPPP shall be submitted to the CITY for review and approval a minimum of twenty (20) working days prior to the commencement of construction operations in accordance with 6-1 of these Special Provisions.
Full compensation for preparation of the SWPPP, revisions to the SWPPP, and all other related costs shall be considered as included in the prices bid for the various items of work.
