9 99-06-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000003) hereby called Permit . The Permitregulates Storm Water discharges from Caltrans properties, facilities and activities, and requires thatCaltrans construction program comply with the requirements of the NPDES General Permit,Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Discharges of Storm Water Runoff Associated withConstruction Activity (Order No. 99-08-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000002) (General Permit) issuedby the SWRCB, to regulate discharges from construction sites that disturb 5 acres or March 10, 2003, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and SWRCB regulationswill regulate discharges from projects with soil disturbance of 1 acre or more by amending theGeneral Permit and thus including coverage of projects with soil disturbance of 1 acre or Resolution No.

10 2001-46 modified provisions of the General Permit that require permitteesto implement specific Water Quality sampling and analytical procedures implemented on aconstruction site. Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and WaterPollution Control Program (WPCP)Caltrans requires contractors to prepare and implement a program to control Water pollutioneffectively during the construction of all projects (see Standard Specification section WaterPollution). Projects resulting in hectares (ha) [1 ac] or more of soil disturbance are subject to theGeneral Permit. Caltrans Special Provisions require that for larger projects, defined as thoseresulting in ha (1 ac) or more of soil disturbance, Contractors prepare and submit a Storm WaterPollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
