Relationship of EROSION and sediment control Plans to the SWPPP A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, or SWPPP, is required for State permits. The drawings and written sequences described in this guideline should be part of the SWPPP. The SWPPP includes additional documentation created before and during the execution of the project.

7 Refer to the general permit for the State in which the project is located for additional requirements. Reference Documents This chapter provides mandatory requirements on the application of certain BMPs. Additional considerations on those and additional BMPs, as well as background information on EROSION and sedimentation, are available in numerous other sources. The following references are recommended as sources of supplemental guidance and information. A. Information on the regulatory background, scientific state of the art, and minimum control measures for EROSION control may be found in the Environmental Protection Agency document National Management Measures to control Nonpoint Source Pollution from Urban Areas.

8 Management Measure 8: Construction Site EROSION , sediment , and Chemical control . (November 2005, EPA-841-B-05-004). B. Information about SWPPP including site analysis, BMP selection, notification, placement, and maintenance, record keeping and permit termination may be found in the Environmental Protection Agency document Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, A Guide for Construction Sites. (April 2007, EPA 833-R-060-04). C. Fact sheets describing the applicability, limitations, maintenance, effectiveness and cost of individual BMPs may be found on the EPA website: National Menu of Best Management Practices; Construction Site Stormwater Runoff control , or current URL.

9 D. Information on the mechanics of EROSION and sedimentation, fact sheets describing the applicability, limitations, maintenance and cost of individual BMPs, and information on water quality management, all within the particular context of Missouri and Kansas water quality concerns, may be found in Protecting Water Quality a Construction Site Water Quality Field Guide, a joint document issued by the St. Charles County Soil and Water Conservation District, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Mid America Association of Conservation Districts, et al. Designer Qualifications The design and plan preparation for EROSION control drawings and written sequence shall be completed by, or under the direct supervision of, a professional engineer who also meets one of the following the minimum continuing education requirements: A.

10 7 hours within the last 24 months of classroom instruction in sediment and EROSION control taught by a qualified instructor. APWA 5100 5100-2 September 2010 B. 21 hours lifetime of classroom instruction in sediment and EROSION control taught by a qualified instructor. C. 14 hours lifetime of web-based or classroom instruction, which includes specific instruction on the general permit requirements and SWPPP preparation, when retention of the material is measured by an exam. Innovative Products and Methods EROSION control is an evolving field and new products and methods are emerging. Obtain approval from the municipal authority prior to using a new product or method in the design.
