Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • Notice of Intent (NOI) – 1112 cont. • Example #1: Bridge replacement project with 0.5 acres of Project EDA and an estimated 0.2 acres of Contractor EDA • Add SS832 and Item 832 Erosion Control (each) to plans • SWPPP quantity is not needed • NOI is not needed

16. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • Notice of Intent (NOI) – 1112 cont. • Example #2: Bridge replacement project with 0.7 acres of Project EDA and an estimated 0.25 acres of Contractor EDA • Add SS832 and Item 832 Erosion Control (each) to plans • Based on site conditions, work type, etc., determine level of confidence with Contractor EDA estimate • If the Contractor EDA could reasonably exceed the estimate and result in the total EDA being greater than 1 acre • Provide a Project Site Plan, Item 832 SWPPP (Lump Sum), Item 832 Erosion Control (Each), and file the NOI

17. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • Notice of Intent (NOI) – 1112 cont. • Example #2 Variation: Bridge replacement projectwith 0.7 acres of Project EDA and an estimated 0.25 acres of Contractor EDA • It is determined that 0.25 is a reasonable estimate for Contractor EDA • However, the Contractor uses more area and the resulting EDA is greater than one acre. • What happens now? • SS 832 is being updated. The update will require the Contractor to file the NOI and obtain the Permit, if he cannot constrain his operations to what is shown on the title sheet.

18. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • Notice of Intent (NOI) – 1112 cont. • Routine Maintenance Activity list provided • Multiple part and non-contiguous projects • Non-contiguous projects separated by at least ¼ mile can be considered separate • Non-contiguous multiple part projects can be considered with respect to each part

21. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • Post-Construction BMP – 1115 cont. • Options for locating BMP based on treating 100% water quality for 20% of the Project EDA (redevelopment) • Water quantity treatment not required when less than 1 acre of new impervious area created

22. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • BMP Selection and Submittals – 1116 • Submittals to Central Office Production • Conceptual layout • Plan sheets with BMP located • Calculations/documentation • No treatment for areas with sheet flow off roadway and outside ODOT right-of-way

23. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • BMP Toolbox – 1117 • Exfiltration Trench • Updated Figure 1117-1 • Manufactured Systems • Not suitable for large trunk sewers • Depth limitations due to maintenance • Permit Reviews – Watch for use of manufactured systems on ODOT maintained roadways. Verify maintenance accessibility.

24. Notable changes in January 2008 edition of L&D Volume 2 • BMP Toolbox – 1117 cont. • Vegetated Biofilter • No conveyance ditch • No energy protection area • Bottom width determination (ignore rounding) • Use the entire contributing drainage area (No incremental treatment) • Maximum ditch bottom width of 10 feet • Updated Anti-Seep collar design requirements

25. Local-let and ODOT-let LPA Projects • ODOT-let LPA projects • ODOT files the NOI • ODOT should ensure post-construction BMP provided meeting Ohio EPA expectations • LPA should be made aware of BMP requirements and maintenance responsibilities

26. Local-let and ODOT-let LPA Projects • Local-let LPA projects • Local agency files the NOI • The LPA is responsible for providing post-construction BMP that meet Ohio EPA expectations (may use L&D Volume 2 or other EPA approved guidance) • ODOT’s global settlement negotiations do not apply to local-let LPA projects that cannot meet BMP requirements • The LPA must coordinate with Ohio EPA when deficiencies are identified

27. Local-let and ODOT-let LPA Projects • BMP Project Scenarios Document • This document should no longer be used as a guideline • Post-construction BMP apply to the entire project with the exception of privately owned property (non-municipal)

28. BMP Design Approach • Using Redevelopment/Treatment Percent reduction • New Construction Projects • Calculate treatment percent (T%) • Minimum T% is 20% • Redevelopment Projects • 20%

29. BMP Design Approach • BMP Design Options • Redevelopment projects • Provide 100% treatment for an area equal to 20% of the Project EDA • Provide 20% treatment for the entire project. • New construction projects • Provide 100% treatment for an area equal to T% of Project EDA • Provide T% treatment for the entire project.

30. BMP Design Approach • Vegetated Biofilters • The entire project does not require wider ditches • Water quality credit earned for drainage area within ODOT right-of-way • Once area credit equals or exceeds the 20% or T% requirement, no further treatment is needed

31. Vegetated Biofilter Example (Redevelopment)

32. BMP Design Approach • Exfiltration Trenches (ExT) • Option #1 – Use 20% or T% of the required ExT length for the entire project • Requires all inlets, catch basins, etc. to provide an exfiltration trench or other BMP treatment

33. BMP Design Approach • Exfiltration Trenches (ExT) cont. • Option #2 – Use 100% of the calculated ExT length based on Section 1117.1 and provide treatment for ODOT R/W area that equals or exceeds 20% or T% of the Project EDA. • Allows the locations of BMP to be chosen when there are restrictions preventing BMPs at all inlets.

34. Exfiltration Trench Example (Redevelopment)

35. BMP Design Approach • Manufactured Systems • Option #1 – Calculate Water Quality Flow (WQf) and multiply the WQf by 20% or T%. • Entire contributing drainage area to the point in the storm sewer shall be used • Treat the entire project - Any project areas not tributary to this manufactured system must be drained to a BMP that will provide 20% or T% treatment

36. BMP Design Approach • Manufactured Systems • Option #2 – Calculate Water Quality Flow (WQf) • Entire contributing drainage area to the point in the storm sewer shall be used • Treat drainage area with a minimum area equal to 20% or T%, with no reduction in the calculated WQf. • Water quality credit only applies to area within ODOT R/W, but BMP must be sized for entire contributing drainage area

38. Manufactured Systems

39. BMP Submittals • Section 1116.2 • Consideration of post-construction BMPs needs to happen early in the design process to allow for utilities and right-of-way issues to be addressed. • Early coordination with Ohio EPA will prevent fines, additional consultant costs, change orders and possible delays during construction.

40. BMP Submittals • Major Projects • Conceptual layout with Step 6 (AFA) – Required review and comment through C.O. Production • BMP Design with Step 8 (Stage 1) – Required review and comment through C.O. Production

41. BMP Submittals • Minor Projects • Conceptual layout with Step 3 (PE) – Optional review and comment through C.O. Production • BMP Design with Step 4 (Stage 1) – Required review and comment through C.O. Production

42. BMP Submittals • Contents of submittals at Stage 1 • Estimated Project EDA • Pre and Post Runoff Coefficient • Pre and Post Impervious Area • BMPs selected • Calculations for BMPs • Plan sheets showing location of BMPs • Explanation for areas that were not treated

43. BMP Submittals • Project Site Plan – Stage 3 • Post-construction BMPs should be addressed on the Project Site Plan • Graphics • Tables • Cross-references to specific sheets or details • Narrative, if needed

44. BMP Submittals • Projects that are not fully compliant • C.O. Production will discuss with the District and Consultant. • If necessary, a meeting with Ohio EPA will be held to determine whether additional mitigation is required.

45. Issues during Construction • What happens when Ohio EPA issues a Notice of Violation (NOV) that cites a post-construction deficiency? • District should determine if post-construction BMPs were incorporated into the plans • If post-construction BMPs are shown in the plans, District shall obtain the calculations • District shall determine whether the BMPs shown in the plans were designed according to the Jan. 2008 L&D Manual Vol. 2 • If deemed compliant, forward calculations to Ohio EPA • If deemed non-compliant, forward to C.O. Production for coordination with Ohio EPA

46. Post-Construction BMP Training • Training for Post-Construction BMPs • Districts • Need to take the lead in communicating changes with BMPs for plans actively in design • Districts should coordinate with Central Office for assistance on unique situations • Consultants • Submittals, reviews, and experience should identify any potential training needs • Future training may be needed, but minimum benefit now

47. Coming soon…. • Renewal of Construction General Permit • Draft version available for public comment • Anticipated that the Permit will be effective in April 2008 • Minor changes to post-construction • Draft Permit allows mitigation off-site (must be negotiated with Ohio EPA) • Covered by January 2008 L&D Vol. 2 updates
