1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE

This consolidated SWPPP and BMP Plan is an environmental protection plan for Fort Rucker that addresses the quality of stormwater being discharged from the installation. The Plan identifies potential sources of stormwater pollution or contamination on Fort Rucker and provides appropriate management practices to prevent or control these pollutants. The purpose of the Plan is to improve water quality by reducing or eliminating the potential for pollutants to enter stormwater being discharged from Fort Rucker. This document is modified from the EPA Guidance Document, Stormwater Management for Industrial Activities - Developing Pollution Prevention Plans and Best Management Practices and it meets the pollution prevention and BMP planning requirements as set forth in Fort Rucker’s applicable NPDES permits. This Plan also includes references to Alabama-specific industry standards that apply to erosion control, sediment control, and stormwater management on construction sites and urban areas. This Plan has been developed to comply with all federal, state, Army and local regulations relating to stormwater pollution prevention and BMPs.

1.2 FORT RUCKER ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

This Plan serves as an operational control as specified in EMS-P016, Operational Controls. This document is a controlled document with the official version maintained on the Sustainable Fort Rucker website. All forms and work instructions referenced within this document are also controlled documents. Forms and work instructions are included in the appendices for reference only; the official versions of all EMS documents are maintained on the Sustainable Fort Rucker website and all referenced Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) forms are maintained on the ADEM website. The following tables should be used to document plan review and amendments.

1.2.1 Plan Review

The Plan is available for review on the Sustainable Fort Rucker website. If the BMP Plan or any BMPs are found to be deficient during an inspection by representatives of ADEM, Fort Rucker will respond to any identified deficiencies.

Townsend Title: Chief, Environmental and Natural Resources Division

2.1 FORT RUCKER LOCATION

Fort Rucker is located in southeast Alabama, 20 miles northwest of Dothan, Alabama. It is surrounded by the towns of Daleville on the south, Enterprise on the west, and Ozark on the east (Figure 2-1). Fort Rucker is positioned in a topographical area of southeastern Alabama that consists of moderately rolling lands with elevations ranging from 200 to 300 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Fort Rucker spans over two Alabama counties, Dale and Coffee, and covers a total of 62,914 acres, which is composed of 61,417 acres in the main cantonment, airfields, and stagefields, and 1,497 acres of leases and easements. Numerous training facilities, airfields, stagefields and properties are associated with Fort Rucker. The airfields, heliports, stagefields, and other properties are depicted in Figure 2-2. The various fields are indicated with only the name and not the type of field when they are discussed within this document. • Allen Stagefield • Andalusia Repeater • Ariton Repeater • Blue Springs • Brown Stagefield • Cantonment Area (North and South Fort Rucker) • Cairns Army Airfield • Ech Stagefield • Goldberg Stagefield

These airfields include: • Enterprise Airport • Florala Municipal Airport • Southeast Alabama Regional Airport

2-2 SECTION TWO Facility Information

2.2 POTENTIALLY AFFECTED WATER BODIES

If stormwater becomes contaminated with pollutants due to a significant spill or off-site migration of sediment, the polluted runoff will discharge through an outfall or flow directly to the nearest creek, stream, or river. On the main cantonment, the general flow of stormwater and the subsequent flow of any product ultimately enter the Choctawhatchee River. Fort Rucker’s training facilities are located both on and around the main cantonment. Drainage and runoff from these sites feed the numerous creeks, streams, and tributaries located near these facilities. Ultimately, the Choctawhatchee, Pea, and Conecuh Rivers receive the drainage and runoff from training areas and carry it southward through southern Alabama and Florida, subsequently depositing it in the Gulf of Mexico. The Choctawhatchee, Pea, and Conecuh Rivers are part of the Choctawhatchee Watershed. The Choctawhatchee Watershed is a critical area and may act as a conveyance if drainage or runoff becomes contaminated. In the event of contamination, the accurate delineation of this watershed will allow first responders to properly maneuver response equipment and respond in a manner that reduces the ecological, social, cultural, and community impacts of any release of pollutants.

2.3 WATERSHED PROFILE

The State of Alabama has two physiographic provinces – the Appalachian Province and the Coastal Plain Province. The two provinces are separated from each other by an irregular-shaped zone known as the fall line. Fort Rucker lies in the Coastal Plain Province, which is underlain by soft sediments and a thick sequence of rocks sloping downward towards the Gulf of Mexico. The topography of this area is characterized by gently rolling land with elevations averaging between 200 and 300 feet above MSL. The geologic outcroppings in the area range from Tertiary to Recent Age. Surface deposits consist of gravel, sand, and clay. Fort Rucker and all of the associated properties lie within the Upper Choctawhatchee Watershed. Figure 2-3 shows the delineation of the Choctawhatchee Watershed and the location of Fort Rucker within that watershed. The Upper Choctawhatchee Watershed is composed of the main channel, the east and west forks of the Choctawhatchee River, and 24 major tributaries. Unnamed tributaries to Brooking Mill Creek, Harrand Creek, and Choctawhatchee River are listed as the receiving waters on the AL0002178 NPDES permit. These unnamed tributaries receive stormwater from the seven representative outfalls on the AL0002178 NPDES permit. In addition to these outfalls, stormwater also flows to Claybank Creek, which cuts through the center of Fort Rucker and drains directly into the Choctawhatchee

2-3 Facility Information SECTION TWO

River. Geographically, the bulk of Fort Rucker sits to the north of Claybank Creek and the Choctawhatchee River. The main channel of the Choctawhatchee River is approximately 90 miles long and is formed by the confluence of its east and west forks in Dale County near Newton in Southeast Alabama. The Choctawhatchee River crosses the Alabama/Florida state line just south of the city of Geneva, AL where the river’s largest tributary, the Pea River, converges. The Pea River sub-watershed encompasses 1,542 square miles and sits just west of the Choctawhatchee mainstream. From the point of convergence, the Choctawhatchee River flows generally southward to empty into Choctawhatchee Bay in Florida. The system terminates into Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and encompasses freshwater, brackish, estuarine and marine habitats.

2.4 STORMWATER OUTFALLS

A stormwater outfall is the point where stormwater enters the natural waterway or separate storm sewer system. Identification of stormwater outfalls is essential in identifying the best opportunities for stormwater pollution prevention or control. Site maps of the Fort Rucker stormwater outfalls located in the cantonment area, airfields, stagefields, and airports are included in Appendix A. In 2005, Fort Rucker completed an assessment of each stormwater outfall. This assessment provided Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, site-specific information about each outfall, outfall photos, and brief descriptions of each outfall. The assessment specifically evaluated the condition and effectiveness of each outfall and documented erosion control issues and the potential for erosion at each site. A cost estimate was also provided that details the costs associated with repairing damaged outfalls or outfalls affected by erosion. A copy of these assessments is maintained by DPW-ENRD and is available for review in Building 1121. An additional project was completed in 2011 to determine the drainage area, including the amount of pervious and impervious area that drains to each outfall. The information from this study has been incorporated into the overall stormwater management program.

2.5 FACILITY SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS

Permit Number AL0002178 allows discharges at designated outfalls with the requirement to collect a grab sample annually from representative outfall DSN005. This sample is required to be analyzed for pH, total suspended solids, oil and grease, and flow rate. Fort Rucker has contracted with a certified lab to analyze samples and report results. These results are required to be reported on a Discharge Monitoring Report through ADEM’s web-based electronic environmental (E2) reporting system no later than the 28th day of January for the prior reporting year.

2-4 SECTION TWO Facility Information

2.6 IDENTIFICATION OF PAST SPILLS AND LEAKS

The Fire Department has primary responsibility for recordkeeping related to all spills, leaks and responses across Fort Rucker. The Fire Department maintains a database called the Emergency Reporting System that is designed to capture the complete spill, leak and response records at the installation. A complete history of significant spills, leaks, and spill response efforts is available for review at the Main Post Fire Department. DPW-ENRD is also notified of spills and leaks that may have a significant environmental impact. Details regarding spill response and reporting requirements are contained in the Installation Spill Contingency Plan (ISCP). Organizations responsible for spills must complete USAACE Form 2718, Spill Response Notification, within five days of the incident. DPW-ENRD will work with the organization to complete USAACE Form 2727, Emergency Release Notification (Follow Up), if additional reporting to the state is required. DPW-ENRD retains these records in accordance with EMS-P008, Records Management.

2-5 SECTION THREE Regulatory Background 3. REGULATORY BACKGROUND

3.1 FEDERAL REGULATIONS

Fort Rucker must comply with Federal and State NPDES requirements associated with the industrial permit program and the construction activity permit program. The following sections summarize the applicable requirements for the Fort Rucker stormwater management program.

3.1.1 Federal Water Pollution Control Act

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 was the first major U.S. law to address water pollution. In 1972, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act was amended and significantly expanded to include the NPDES program. This program was designed to track point source discharges and required the implementation of the controls necessary to minimize the discharge of pollutants. These amendments prohibited the discharge of any pollutant into the waters of the U.S. from a point source unless the discharge was authorized by a NPDES permit. In 1977, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act was amended again and the act became commonly known as the CWA. The CWA regulates discharges of pollutants from a point source into the waters of the U.S. as well as water quality standards for surface waters.

3.1.2 Water Quality Act of 1987

In 1987, the CWA was amended by the Water Quality Act of 1987. These amendments required the EPA to issue NPDES permits for the following five categories of wastewater discharges: • Discharges permitted prior to February 4, 1987, • Discharges associated with industrial activity, • Discharges from large municipal separate stormwater sewer system (MS4) (systems serving a population of 250,000 or more), • Discharges from medium MS4s (systems serving a population of 100,000 or more but less than 250,000), and • Discharges judged by the permitting authority to be significant sources of pollutants or which contribute to a violation of a water quality standard.

It also required the EPA to implement a two phase comprehensive national program to address stormwater discharges from industrial sources and municipalities. The first phase of the program, commonly referred to as “Phase I” was promulgated by the EPA

3-1 Regulatory Background SECTION THREE on November 16, 1990 (55 Federal Register [FR] 47990). The second phase of this program, “Phase II”, was promulgated by the EPA on December 8, 1999 (64 FR 68722). These regulations were later codified in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 122. Part 122 covers EPA permitting requirements for the defined NPDES programs.

3.1.3 NPDES Stormwater Program Phase I

The NPDES Stormwater Program Phase I regulations apply to stormwater discharges associated with large MS4s, medium MS4s, and any of the 11 industrial activities listed below: • Facilities subject to stormwater effluent limitations guidelines, new source performance standards, or toxic pollutant effluent standards under 40 CFR subchapter N, • Heavy manufacturing facilities, • Mining and oil and gas operations worth “contaminated” stormwater discharges, • HW treatment, storage, or disposal facilities, • Landfills, land application sites, and open dumps, • Recycling facilities, • Steam electric generating facilities, • Transportation facilities, including airports, • Sewage treatment plants, • Construction operations disturbing five acres or more, and • Other industrial facilities where materials are exposed to stormwater.

Under Phase I, operators of industrial facilities that were Federally, State, or municipally owned or operated and that met one of the descriptions listed above were required to submit a permit application. Industrial activities had the option to submit an individual application, a group permit application (covering multiple facilities with similar stormwater discharges), or file a Notice of Intent (NOI) to be covered under a general permit. Regardless of the type of permit submitted, individual or general, both permits require the facility to develop and implement a site-specific comprehensive SWPPP. As an industrial facility where materials are exposed to stormwater, Fort Rucker applied for and was issued NPDES permit AL0002178. Additional permit information is included in Section 3.4 of this Plan.

3-2 SECTION THREE Regulatory Background

3.1.4 NPDES Stormwater Program Phase II

Phase II of the NPDES Stormwater Program amended the existing Phase I regulations and required NPDES permits for stormwater discharges from small MS4s in urbanized areas and construction activities disturbing between one and five acres. A small MS4 includes municipalities serving less than 100,000 persons and separate storm sewer systems similar to those in a municipality. Phase II also revised the original “no exposure” provision and required certain regulated industrial facilities, with no industrial activities exposed to stormwater runoff, to submit a certification of “no exposure”. The construction activity program, the MS4 program, and the industrial permit program all apply to military and Federal installations. These types of facilities are required to follow the NPDES stormwater program requirements as they apply to their activity. Around 2012-2013, ADEM determined Fort Rucker is not subject to the requirements for a small MS4.

3.2 STATE REGULATIONS

3.2.1 Alabama Water Pollution Control Act

The Alabama Water Pollution Control Act was enacted to maintain and improve the quality of public water supplies and provide for the prevention, abatement, and control of new or existing water pollution.

3.2.2 ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-6

Section 402(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act provides that a state may administer its own permit program for discharges into the navigable waters within its jurisdiction provided that the permit program is comparable to the NPDES permit program. ADEM Administrative Code, Chapter 335-6-6 establishes rules and procedures which enable the State of Alabama to administer a NPDES-type permit system for the state and enforce the provisions of the Alabama Water Pollution Control Act.

3.2.3 ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-12

This chapter establishes a comprehensive statewide regulatory program for stormwater management and requires NPDES permits for several categories of discharges to include regulated construction disturbance, non-coal/nonmetallic mining and dry processing less than five acres, other land disturbance activities, and areas associated with these activities. It also defines BMPs as they relate to construction activities, inspection and pollution prevention requirements for NPDES construction sites, and requirements for post-construction runoff.

3-3 Regulatory Background SECTION THREE

3.3 ARMY REGULATIONS

Army Regulation 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement

Army policy regarding stormwater pollution prevention and control of spill events is covered in Section 4-2 of AR 200-1. The Army’s major program goal for wastewater and stormwater, as stated in AR 200-1, Section 4-2.d.(3), is to reduce the pollutant loadings in point source and non-point source discharges and to ensure efficient water reuse. AR 200-1 also requires the development and implementation of a SWPPP and a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. The Army is aware of the potential for environmental spills and inadvertent discharges of hazardous substances into navigable waters of the U.S. The policies and procedures outlined throughout the AR 200-1, this consolidated SWPPP and BMP Plan, the SPCC Plan, and the ISCP will aid in the prevention of stormwater pollution and the preparation of personnel at Fort Rucker.

3.4 APPLICABLE NPDES PERMITS

Fort Rucker maintains compliance with wastewater standards under the following NPDES permits.

3.4.1 Permit Number AL0002178 (Phase I Individual Permit)

On February 26, 2004, the Department of the Army - Fort Rucker was issued a NPDES Individual Permit AL0002178. This permit authorizes Fort Rucker to discharge from 158 point source outfalls, DSN006-DSN163, identified in the permit application and names Claybank Creek and an unnamed tributary that runs to Claybank Creek as the permitted receiving waters on Fort Rucker. On March 21, 2005, Fort Rucker received a final NPDES permit modification from ADEM. This permit expired on February 28, 2009 and a renewal application for the permit was submitted to ADEM during the fourth quarter of 2008. Fort Rucker received the new permit with an effective date of 1 January 2012. The new permit authorizes discharge from seven representative outfalls (DSN001-DSN007). These outfalls discharge to unnamed tributaries to Brooking Mill Creek, Harrand Creek, and the Choctawhatchee River. The existing permit requires all stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities to be free of sheen and visible oil, floating solids, or visible foam in other than trace amounts. The permit also includes a requirement to collect a grab sample annually from representative outfall DSN005. This sample is required to be analyzed for pH, total suspended solids, oil and grease, and flow rate. Fort Rucker has contracted with a certified lab to analyze samples and report results. These results are required to be reported on a Discharge Monitoring Report through ADEM’s web-based E2 reporting

3-4 SECTION THREE Regulatory Background

system no later than the 28th day of January for the prior reporting year. Fort Rucker is expected to properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems that are used to maintain compliance with the NPDES permit and to provide spill prevention, spill control, and spill management. This permit also requires the preparation and implementation of a SPCC Plan, if applicable to the facility, and a BMP Plan. Part IV of this permit establishes the ADEM required elements of a BMP Plan. As defined in the permit, the BMP Plan will “prevent, or minimize the potential for, the release of pollutants from ancillary activities, including material storage areas; plant site runoff; in-plant transfer, process and material holding areas; loading and unloading operations, and sludge and waste disposal areas, to the waters of the State through plant site runoff; spillage or leaks; sludge or waste disposal; or drainage from raw material storage.”

3.4.2 NPDES Permit Number ALG890349

On April 17, 2015, ADEM granted coverage under NPDES permit ALG890349 for stormwater discharges from small noncoal/nonmetallic mining activities at TA-19E Borrow Pit. The permit expires on January 31, 2018. Fort Rucker developed a Construction Best Management Practices Plan (CBMPP) that establishes procedures for the operation and maintenance of the TA-19E Borrow Pit to include the implementation of BMPs designed to control stormwater runoff in a manner compliant with ADEM Construction Stormwater Regulations. BMPs designed to reduce erosion and sedimentation at the permitted area are described in detail within the CBMPP. The CBMPP includes provisions for semi-annual and monthly inspections of the borrow pit and surrounding areas that must be performed by a Qualified Credentialed Professional (QCP) and Qualified Credentialed Inspector (QCI), respectively, utilizing ADEM Form 500, NPDES Noncoal/Nonmetallic Mining and Dry Processing Less than 5 acres Stormwater Inspection Report and BMP Certification. This form is located in Appendix H and on the ADEM website.

3.4.3 NPDES Permit Number ALG890244

On December 18, 2013, ADEM granted coverage under NPDES permit ALG890244 for stormwater discharges from small noncoal/nonmetallic mining activities at TA-38 Equipment Training Area and Topsoil Stockpile Area. The permit expires on 31 January 2018. This pit is no longer used for borrow; it is used solely for stockpiling reusable material. The CBMPP establishes procedures for the operation and maintenance of the TA-38 Stockpile Pit, to include the implementation of BMPs designed to control stormwater runoff in a manner compliant with ADEM regulations. BMPs designed to reduce erosion and sedimentation at the permitted area are described in detail within the

The CBMPP also establishes a semi-annual and monthly inspection of the borrow pit and surrounding areas that must be performed by a QCP and QCI, respectively, utilizing the ADEM NPDES Non-Coal/Non-Metallic Mining and Dry Processing Less Than 5 Acres Stormwater Inspection Report and BMP Certification.

3.4.4 NPDES Permit Number ALG890172

On August 19, 2013, ADEM granted coverage under NPDES permit ALG890172 for stormwater discharges from small noncoal/nonmetallic mining activities at TA-11 Borrow Pit. The permit expires on 31 January 2018. The CBMPP establishes procedures for the operation and maintenance of the TA-11 Borrow Pit, to include the implementation of BMPs designed to control stormwater runoff in a manner compliant with ADEM regulations. BMPs designed to reduce erosion and sedimentation at the permitted area are described in detail within the CBMPP. The CBMPP also establishes a semi-annual and monthly inspections of the borrow pit and surrounding areas that must be performed by a QCP and QCI, respectively, utilizing the ADEM NPDES Non-Coal/Non-Metallic Mining and Dry Processing Less Than 5 Acres Stormwater Inspection Report and BMP Certification.

3.4.5 ADEM Construction General Permit ALR100000

The CWA and Federal regulations require construction site operators to obtain NPDES permit coverage for regulated land disturbances and associated discharges of stormwater runoff to waters of the US. Effective April 1, 2016, ADEM established General NPDES Permit ALR100000 for discharges associated with regulated construction activity that will result in land disturbance equal to or greater than one acre or from construction activities involving less than one acre and which are part of a common plan of development or sale equal to or greater than one acre. Construction site operators / owners required to obtain coverage under this general permit must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) in accordance with the permit requirements. Operators / owners of all regulated construction sites must implement and maintain effective erosion and sediment controls in accordance with a CBMPP prepared and certified by a QCP. For priority construction sites, the CBMPP must be submitted to ADEM for review along with the NOI. Priority sites include any site that discharges to:

• A waterbody which is listed on the most recently EPA approved 303(d) list of impaired waters for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation, • Any waterbody for which a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been finalized or approved by EPA for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation,

3-6 SECTION THREE Regulatory Background

• Any waterbody assigned the Outstanding Alabama Water use classification in accordance with ADEM Admin. Code r. 335-6-10-.09, and • Any waterbody assigned a special designation in accordance with ADEM Admin. Code r. 335-6-10-.10.

A QCP or QCI must conduct regular inspections of regulated construction activities to ensure effective erosion and sediment controls are being maintained. In certain circumstances, the QCI or QCP must also monitor construction site discharges for turbidity (see Section 7.9).

On December 1, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published effluent limit guidelines (ELGs) and new source performance standards (NSPS) for regulated construction sites. The regulation was effective on February 1, 2010. After this date, all permits issued by EPA or states must incorporate the final rule requirements. Although certain parts of the rule were since stayed, ADEM's general permit incorporates those non-numeric effluent limits promulgated by EPA and which remain in effect.

A copy of the permit is included in Appendix B.

4-10 SECTION FIVE Pollutant Source Assessment 5. POLLUTANT SOURCE ASSESSMENT NPDES permit AL0002178 requires each facility component or system to be examined for its potential for causing a release of significant amounts of pollutants to waters of the state due to equipment failure, improper operation, and natural phenomena. Table 5-1 provides a pollutant source assessment that identifies the potential pollutants, pollutant sources, mitigation measures to reduce the possibility of contamination, and the relative risk of pollutants entering the stormwater discharge on Fort Rucker. Table 5-1 is located in the Tables section of this document. Fort Rucker has determined that materials stored outdoors and/or in containers that are 55-gallons or greater have a higher risk of resulting in stormwater pollution. Section 6 of the Fort Rucker SPCC Plan contains detailed information regarding the activities involving oil containers with capacities of 55-gallons or greater. The facility diagrams in Appendix A show all containers that pose a higher risk because of where they are stored or the quantity stored within them. Each of these containers is provided with a containment structure or other mechanism intended to prevent pollution of stormwater. The flow direction around each applicable container and the outfalls in the area are also included in the diagrams. Figure 2-3 shows the subwatersheds that would be affected by pollutants from each area of the installation as well as the maximum spill potential for each area of the installation.

5-1 Pollutant Source Assessment SECTION FIVE

This page intentionally left blank.

5-2 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices 6. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES The stormwater Phase II rule and NPDES permit AL0002178 require Fort Rucker to implement a series of BMPs to reduce or eliminate pollutants in stormwater discharges, especially those that leave the installation. BMPs are measures or practices used to prevent, reduce, or eliminate the amount of pollution produced by an activity. ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-6 refers to stormwater BMPs as “schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of "waters of the state." BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.” Stormwater BMPs are typically either a source control BMP or an engineered BMP. Source control BMPs rely on implementation of measures that reduce pollutants at their source before they can come in contact with stormwater. Many of the source control BMPs are non-structural practices that are relatively simple, inexpensive, and can be easily implemented across the installation. Source control BMPs emphasize prevention over treatment. It is much more efficient and cost-effective to prevent polluted stormwater using source control BMPs than it is to treat polluted stormwater using engineered BMPs. For this reason, source control BMPs are the primary type of BMP used on Fort Rucker. Engineered BMPs are engineered systems designed to remove pollutants by simple gravity settling of particulate pollutants, filtration, biological uptake, media adsorption or any other physical, biological, or chemical process. These BMPs capture and manage polluted runoff prior to discharge into surface waters. Engineered BMPs are often designed to redirect potentially contaminated stormwater to a location where it can be treated, naturally or mechanically, prior to discharge. Examples of this type of BMP include flow-through catchment basins, washracks, and oil water separators (OWS). The EPA recommends that each facility implement, at a minimum, the following BMPs: • Good Housekeeping, • Preventive Maintenance, • Visual Inspections, • Spill Prevention and Response, • Employee Training, • Record Keeping and Reporting, • Management of Runoff Using Traditional Stormwater Management Practices, and • Sediment and Erosion Prevention and Control.

6-1 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

Many of these BMPs are practical pollution prevention measures that are applicable to a wide range of activities and are designed to reduce pollutants before they have an opportunity to contaminate stormwater runoff. They are relatively simple and inexpensive to implement and most facilities on the installation already include these measures in their everyday activities because they also enhance worker safety, accident and fire prevention, and comply with other environmental regulations. Other BMPs listed in this section are considered site-specific industrial stormwater BMPs and include typical structures or methods used to prevent and control polluted stormwater. Activity-specific BMPs are described in detail in Section 6.9. The suggested practices listed in this Plan identify source control and engineered BMPs that are either currently employed, are approved for future implementation, or may be used in the future at Fort Rucker. BMP descriptions include procedures and programs implemented at the installation level as well as site-specific practices utilized at the operations and maintenance level. Each of the stormwater BMPs suggested in this Plan is intended to minimize the exposure of stormwater runoff to potential pollutants.

6.1 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

Preventing the pollution of stormwater runoff requires good housekeeping and using common sense in areas where materials are handled, stored, or transferred. Good housekeeping is designed to maintain a clean and orderly work environment, reduce spill possibility, and enhance site safety. A dirty or untidy work area is aesthetically unpleasing; leads to site safety issues such as slips, trips, and falls; results in more waste being generated than necessary; and provides an increased potential for stormwater contamination. Areas that practice good housekeeping on a daily basis save time and money on cleanup and have a much lower potential for stormwater contamination. Frequent and proper training of personnel in good housekeeping techniques reduces the possibility of hazardous materials or equipment being mishandled, cuts down on site safety hazards, reduces waste generation, and lowers the potential for stormwater contamination. The good housekeeping BMPs listed below include practices that should be applied during all operations and maintenance activities, loading and unloading operations, and in material storage and handling areas. • Maintain dry, clean floors and ground surfaces by using brooms and shovels, vacuum cleaners, or cleaning machines. Regularly sweep work areas. • Do not hose down floors with water; always use dry clean-up methods. • Ensure outside areas are kept neat and orderly.

6-2 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

• Identify trash receptacles, dumpsters, roll-off containers, and recycling facilities. Pick-up and dispose of garbage and waste material in a timely manner. • Inspect equipment and work areas for evidence of drips, leaks, or other conditions that could lead to discharges of oil/chemicals. Immediately clean up any spilled materials in accordance with the organization’s USAACE Form 2719, Site Specific Spill Plan, and the ISCP. • Use drip pans or absorbents if vehicles, aircraft, or equipment are known to leak or could create a potential spill situation. • Do not dispose of oil, fuel, or any other hazardous substance into any drains. • Obtain approval from DPW-ENRD Stormwater Program Manager for any cleansers used outdoor or other situations where the wash water/cleanser mixture will not be collected and will discharge to the ground or stormwater prior to use. Do not use any cleansers that contain petroleum or chlorinated solvents. • Ensure walkways are easily accessible, safe, and free of protruding objects, materials, and equipment. • Clean away any leaves, limbs, trash, or other debris that have the potential to clog storm drains. • Concrete washout will NOT be done directly on the ground. If washing of any part of a concrete truck must be done, it will be in a pit lined with plastic or a mobile device to be used for this purpose. Once water has evaporated, the solids will be disposed in an ADEM approved landfill.

6.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance BMPs involve the regular inspection and testing of equipment, operational systems, and stormwater management devices to determine if conditions exist that could cause breakdowns or failures that result in a discharge of pollutants to storm sewers and surface waters. Preventive maintenance identifies potential problems and allows for the adjustment, repair, or replacement of the damaged equipment, system, or device. The EPA recommends that the following equipment be included in a preventive maintenance inspection and testing program: pipes, pumps, storage tanks and bins, pressure vessels, pressure release valves, material handling equipment, OWSs, catch basins, or other structural and engineered BMPs. Preventive maintenance BMPs include the following activities:

6-3 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

• Examine equipment, operational systems and stormwater control devices for proper operation. • Conduct equipment maintenance as prescribed by applicable technical manuals. • Repair or replace damaged, broken, defective, or outdated equipment and systems. • Inspect OWS for build-up of oils, fuels, and sediments. If separators must be cleaned, take the appropriate steps to schedule cleaning as defined in EMS-WI-WA004, Washrack and Oil Water Separator Operation and Maintenance. • Schedule periodic tests of tanks, pumps, and piping at bulk fuel storage areas as specified within the SPCC Plan. • Maintain records on inspections and testing of equipment and systems.

Preventive maintenance cannot be performed without the assistance of visual inspections and equipment testing. Specific inspection requirements and schedules are further discussed in Section 6.3.

6.3 VISUAL INSPECTIONS

Regular visual inspections provide a routine look at the facility that quickly identifies conditions that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. These inspections are conducted by DPW-ENRD as well as operators. This section contains details of the various inspection programs. Appendix C contains copies of inspection checklists referenced in this section. The inspection forms are also available on the Sustainable Fort Rucker website. DPW-ENRD conducts routine inspections of Permit Number AL0002178’s seven representative outfalls (DSN001 – DSN007) as required. These inspections ensure the outfalls are free of any visible discharge, oil sheen, foam, floating solids, discoloration, or other evidence of possible stormwater contamination. Inspections of the outfalls are documented using USAACE Form 2745, Stormwater Outfall Inspection Checklist. DPW-ENRD conducts an annual, installation-wide compliance inspection as part of the Environmental Performance Assessment and Assistance System (EPAAS). This inspection covers all operations and environmental media areas at Fort Rucker. DPW- ENRD uses the Army-prescribed protocol and checklists for conducting these inspections.

6-4 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

DPW-ENRD conducts quarterly inspections of industrial operations using USAACE Form 2717, Environmental Compliance Inspection Checklist. This checklist covers all functions within each operational area, including items specifically related to stormwater as well as other environmental concerns. Individual organizations are encouraged to use this checklist as well, but it is not required by DPW-ENRD. The Fort Rucker SPCC Plan requires monthly operator inspections, quarterly DPW- ENRD inspections, and annual EPAAS reviews for all bulk oil containers 55-gallons or larger with the exception of used oil containers. Used oil, including used cooking oil, containers must be inspected by operators on a weekly basis. Any containers that have had issues or potential issues identified are also inspected on a weekly basis. The SPCC Plan inspections are documented using USAACE Form 2711, SPCC Container Inspection Checklist. Organizations must turn in completed copies of USAACE Form 2711 each month to DPW-ENRD. Hazardous waste containers located in a hazardous waste satellite accumulation point (HWSAP) must be inspected on a weekly basis using USAACE Form 2725, HWSAP Inspection Checklist. Containers that are collected in a less than 90-day HW accumulation area are inspected weekly and documented using USAACE Form 2726, 90-Day Hazardous Waste Accumulation Site Inspection Log. These containers are inspected in accordance with the HWMP. Any activities utilizing a washrack are subject to EMS-WI-WA004, Washrack and Oil Water Separator Operation and Maintenance. This work instruction prescribes procedures for proper operation and maintenance of washracks and associated OWS in order to ensure compliance with NPDES permit requirements. These activities must be inspected weekly using USAACE Form 2712, Washrack Inspection Checklist. After each significant rain event, operators inspect secondary containment areas to ensure that no petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) or other hazardous materials are released to the environment with the collected stormwater. These inspections are documented on USAACE Form 2716, Secondary Containment Draining Activity Log. In an effort to identify and repair leaking equipment and damaged containment structures, the following potential spill areas will be routinely inspected by operators, DPW-ENRD personnel, and/or contractors on Fort Rucker: • Material and waste storage, handling, loading, and unloading areas; • Material and waste storage containers, including all associated piping, coatings, connections, foundations, and containment structures; • Equipment, vehicle, and aircraft maintenance and washing areas; • Painting operations;

6-5 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

• Secondary containment structures and stormwater management devices; • Activity specific stormwater BMPs; and • Areas where spills and leaks have occurred in the past.

6.4 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE

The Fort Rucker SPCC Plan addresses all aspects of spill prevention, including BMPs and spill prevention measures for oil storage and transfer sites located within Fort Rucker main cantonment boundaries, as well as other non-contiguous properties managed by Fort Rucker. The purpose of the SPCC Plan is to prevent the discharge of oil from Fort Rucker and to identify resources available to Fort Rucker to reduce and control the off- site impacts of a release to the navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines. It establishes the procedures, methods and equipment required to prevent the discharge of oil and oil-related substances from the facilities into or upon navigable waters as well as the activities required to mitigate such discharges (i.e., countermeasures) should they occur. The SPCC Plan addresses structural containment and/or diversionary structures as well as equipment used on Fort Rucker to prevent and/or contain the release of discharged oil or oil-related substances from reaching navigable waters. Structural containment systems used on the installation are constructed of materials compatible with the substance(s) contained and are designed to prevent the contamination of groundwater. Each of the systems are capable of retaining a volume of 110 percent (or greater) of the capacity of the largest container for which the containment is provided.

In the event of a spill overtopping a containment area, the appropriate containment or diversionary structures, such as sorbent materials and diversionary booms, will be deployed to contain the spill. Spill kits are maintained at each airfield, heliport, stagefield, maintenance hangar, and fueling area as well as at various other locations throughout the installation. In the event of a spill, the Fire Department is the installation’s first responder. The Fire Department and DPW-ENRD maintain spill supplies that can be used when additional materials are required. The Service Support Contractor maintains a spill response team that can also assist in the clean-up of any released materials.

Fort Rucker also maintains an ISCP. The ISCP is to be used as a reference guide in the event of an oil or hazardous substance release into the environment. The ISCP outlines the actions that shall be taken once a release is discovered to mitigate the potentially harmful effects that a release to the environment may cause. The ISCP for Fort Rucker contains detailed instructions for responding to and reporting spills of petroleum products and hazardous substances.

6-6 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

Each Fort Rucker organization will develop and implement a Site Specific Spill Plan in accordance with the ISCP using USAACE Form 2719, Site Specific Spill Plan. This Site Specific Spill Plan must address the prevention, control, and containment of spills and must be developed using the specified form, a copy of which is included in Appendix D. The first page of Site Specific Spill Plan must be posted in any area where materials or waste are stored, and a hard copy of the full plan must be easily accessible from each container storage area. The plan contains steps that must be implemented in the event of a spill. The following spill prevention and response BMPs are required to be implemented to identify, reduce, and eliminate spills. • Provide leak detection devices and overflow controls as specified in the SPCC Plan; • Store all containers of oil 55-gallons or larger and all containers of liquid hazardous waste with adequate secondary containment; • Use material transfer procedures that reduce the chance of leaks or spills; • Ensure spill response equipment is easily accessible and all personnel are familiar with its location; and • Inspect containers as specified within the SPCC Plan and Hazardous Waste Management Plan.

6.5 EMPLOYEE TRAINING

6.5.1 Environmental Officer and EPOC Training

Fort Rucker trains Environmental Officers through the Fort Rucker Environmental Officer Course. The training course covers spill prevention and response, spill containment, spill reporting, and spill prevention and response BMPs. All Environmental Officers receive 16 hours of initial training within six months of assignment duty, and four hours of refresher training annually thereafter. EPOCs receive four hours of initial training and four hours of refresher training annually thereafter. Stormwater discharge prevention briefings are performed annually through the Environmental Officer/EPOC refresher course as well as through specially scheduled briefings conducted by DPW-ENRD. Environmental Officers and EPOCs are responsible for ensuring that personnel within their organizations whose job duties may affect stormwater or potential discharges are appropriately trained to: • Minimize the exposure of stormwater runoff through the implementation of good housekeeping measures and BMPs;

6-7 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

• Operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control which are installed or used to achieve compliance with the conditions of the NPDES permits; and • Practice spill prevention and spill control/management sufficient to prevent spills of pollutants into drainage areas or stormwater runoff.

Training that is specific to spill prevention and response ensures that all personnel, not just those on the spill response teams, are aware of how to respond if a spill occurs. At a minimum, Fort Rucker personnel receive site-specific training that includes: • Identifying potential spill areas and drainage routes, including information on past spills and causes; • Reporting spills to appropriate individuals, without penalty (e.g., employees should be provided amnesty when they report such instances); • Specifying material handling procedures and storage requirements; and • Implementing spill response procedures.

6.5.2 SPCC Plan Training

Spill prevention training is conducted according to Fort Rucker’s SPCC Plan and spill response training is conducted according to Fort Rucker’s ISCP. All oil-handling personnel receive appropriate training that is specific to their operations. Records of training will be kept for a minimum of three years after personnel depart the current duty station or are reassigned to another organization. This portion of the training will cover the following topics: • Spill prevention and response; • Management of oil, hazardous material, and hazardous waste storage areas; • Personnel safety; • Spill reporting; • Spill containment; and • Washrack operations.

6.5.3 QCI Training

QCI training is designed to focus on an understanding of the core requirements of the ADEM rules, how to conduct comprehensive inspections for a construction stormwater

site, how to recognize BMP deficiencies and implementation of the CBMPP, and recordkeeping. ADEM regulations do not require the use of a QCI or to have employees attend QCI training, however, this Plan requires the use of QCI trained individuals. ADEM currently recognizes two QCI Training Programs, the Homebuilders Association of Alabama (HBAA) and Thompson Engineering, Incorporated (TEI). Fort Rucker provides annual refresher training utilizing TEI for government and government contract employees that have attended initial training. A listing of currently certified QCIs is included in Appendix E. These individuals are utilized by Fort Rucker to inspect installation borrow pits, as well as to provide oversight on contractor operated construction sites to ensure compliance with the Construction General Stormwater Permit.

6.5.4 Fire Department Training

The Fire Department at Fort Rucker directs training exercises to test and maintain the effectiveness of the installation response team. These training exercises simulate the response required for a major incident. A complete history of spills, leaks, training, and response efforts is kept by the Fire Department and is accessible for review.

6.6 RECORDKEEPING PROCEDURES

The success of stormwater pollution prevention efforts is effectively tracked through record keeping and internal reporting. Records of all spills and leaks are kept for three years by the Fire Department. DPW-ENRD maintains copies of USAACE Form 2718, Spill Notification Report, and USAACE Form 2727, Emergency Release Notification (Follow Up), for at least three years in accordance with EMS-P008, Records Management. Records of inspections and maintenance activities associated with stormwater pollution prevention are maintained for a period of three years by DPW- ENRD. These records will include, but are not limited to, reportable and non-reportable spills and inspections of all areas included in Section 6.3. Environmental Officers are required to maintain the following documentation: • Record of all releases and spills per the Fort Rucker ISCP; • Training records of organization personnel; • Proof of current Environmental Officer or EPOC certification (i.e., appointment orders and a current Environmental Officer Course completion certificate); • Inspection records (internal records as well as inspections from DPW- ENRD);

6-9 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

• A hard copy of the Site-Specific Spill Plan, including a hazardous material inventory; • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all hazardous materials stored and used within the facility; and • An electronic copy of the ISCP, SPCC, and Consolidated SWPPP and BMP Plan.

6.7 MANAGEMENT OF STORMWATER RUNOFF USING TRADITIONAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROCESSES

The management of stormwater runoff is crucial to the prevention of pollutants in the waterways of Fort Rucker. Stormwater runoff can be managed by implementing traditional stormwater management techniques such as flow diversion practices, exposure minimization practices, mitigative practices, sediment and erosion control prevention practices, and infiltration practices. These BMPs are designed to reduce pollutants at the source before they have the opportunity to contaminate stormwater runoff, direct stormwater away from areas of exposed materials/potential pollutants, and/or divert contaminated stormwater to natural or other types of treatment locations. Additional information on these stormwater management processes and BMPs can be accessed on the EPA website. The Field Guide for Erosion and Sediment Control on Construction Sites in Alabama and the Alabama Handbook for Erosion Control, Sediment Control, and Stormwater Management on Construction Sites and Urban Areas each provide guidance and design specifications for specific BMPs that prevent or minimize erosion, sedimentation, and stormwater runoff. These documents are discussed further in Section 7.4 of this Plan and are available for review on the ADEM website.

6.7.1 Flow Diversion BMPs

Flow diversion BMPs are used to divert, block, or redirect the flow of uncontaminated stormwater from industrial areas or to collect and carry contaminated stormwater to a treatment facility. Common flow diversion structures include channels, gutters, drains, sewers, diversion dikes, graded areas and pavement. Channels, gutters, drains and sewers are also known as stormwater conveyances. These structures are used to channel stormwater runoff away from industrial areas and potential sources of pollutants. Diversion dikes are used to prevent the flow of stormwater runoff onto industrial areas and are often found in the form of compacted soil berms. Graded areas and pavement are land surfaces that are sloped to allow runoff to flow away from industrial area and prevents it from washing over areas that may be contaminated with pollutants. Graded

6-10 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices areas are specifically used in parking lots, outdoor storage areas, and service stations. Flow diversion structures are used throughout the installation. Fort Rucker has implemented this type of BMP through installation of drainage systems on the airfields. Drop inlets are located around the various surfaces on the airfields. As a result, the drainage area is reduced, which results in a smaller potential exposure to pollutants. The diverted water flows through an underground trench system until it discharges at designated points away from pollution sources.

6.7.2 Exposure Minimization BMPs

Exposure minimization BMPs are those that minimize the exposure of potential pollutants to stormwater. Common exposure minimization BMPs used at Fort Rucker include spill containment equipment and systems, overhead covering, and positioning. Spill Containment Equipment and Systems

Spill containment equipment or systems are used to collect drips, spills, leaks, overflows, or other liquid material releases and keep the pollutants from entering stormwater runoff. Spill containment is used in all maintenance areas, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, hazardous material storage areas, satellite accumulation points, ASTs, and bulk fuel storage areas. Common spill containment equipment or systems used on Fort Rucker include drip pans, containment curbing, containment diking, sumps, flow-through catchment basins, OWSs and washracks.

Flow-Through Catchment Basins

Fort Rucker has installed flow-through catchment basins in areas that are at the highest risk for discharges from fueling operations, such as bulk fuel site loading racks, mobile fuel tanker (MFT) parking areas, and hot refuel MFT parking pads. Two types of basins are used in these areas. Some of the basins are constructed of concrete with one internal baffle. These basins are designed to have water in them on a regular basis, which will be displaced in the event of a spill. The displaced water then flows through the discharge valve to a stormwater outfall. The valves on these basins are left in the open position, but they can be closed easily in the event of a spill that would exceed the capacity of the first chamber. The captured material is then removed by a vacuum truck and disposed or recycled as appropriate for the situation. The other type of basin is a steel pan located adjacent to MFT parking areas at four of the stagefields. The drainage from the MFT parking area flows to the pan through a pipe. The valve on the pan remains open when fueling operations are not taking place in order to allow stormwater to flow through the basins. Table 6.7-1 contains the current list of these basins.

6-11 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

Oil Water Separators

Oil water separators (OWS) are used to remove oil from discharges from a particular facility. OWS are installed at each washrack. The OWS at washracks are used for wastewater treatment of discharged wash water prior to entering the sanitary system. All OWS at Fort Rucker are used exclusively for wastewater treatment.

Washracks

To comply with federal, state, and Army regulations, all washing or rinsing activities associated with mission or industrial processes must occur at an approved washrack. Washracks are wash areas which are equipped with an OWS which captures oil and fuel residue from the water and routes the water onto a wastewater treatment plant. These structures are typically comprised of a concrete slab that is elevated above ground surface and contained on three sides by concrete curbing. The entrance to the washrack is elevated to prevent dirty water from leaving the structure and the intrusion of stormwater. Washracks are constructed so that all wash water drains to a drain or concrete trench that conveys the wash water to an attached OWS. Approved washracks for vehicle washing on Fort Rucker are located in in several areas on the installation as listed in Table 6.7-2. Only aircraft may be washed on the washracks at the airfields. Most of Fort Rucker’s washracks have an overhead cover which minimizes the effects of rain water on contaminants that may be present on washrack areas. Cleansers used in washracks require the approval of DPW-ENRD Stormwater Program Manager prior to use. Cleansers will have minimal emulsifying effects in order to ensure proper operation. Washracks, when operating properly, will discharge no wash water or stormwater runoff to the environment. All water is directed to the conveyance structure and into the OWS. The washracks at Lowe AHP, Hanchey AHP, and Cairns AAF are covered washracks. Table 6-7.2 lists the inventory of washracks located on Fort Rucker. Overhead Covering

Overhead covering is a term used to describe the physical enclosure of materials, equipment, or maintenance activity areas to protect them from inclement weather and to prevent contact with stormwater runoff or material loss by blowing winds. Typical types of covering used on Fort Rucker include plastic sheeting, roofs, buildings, overhead enclosures. These can be found in maintenance areas, hazardous material storage areas, loading and unloading areas, washracks, satellite accumulation points, and outdoor material storage piles.

6-12 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

Positioning

Positioning is a term used to describe the practice of locating vehicles and aircraft near spill containment or flow diversion systems and ensuring they are stable and in the appropriate position to prevent problems during fluid transfers. Positioning takes place in fueling/defueling areas, loading/unloading areas, and storage areas.

6.7.3 Mitigative BMPs

Mitigative BMPs are those that involve the clean up or recovery of a substance after it has been released or spilled to reduce the impact before it reaches the environment. Mitigative BMPs go hand in hand with good housekeeping and spill response BMPs and include manual cleanup methods like sweeping and shoveling, mechanical cleanup methods like excavating with a plow or backhoe, vacuuming and pumping, and cleanup with sorbents and gels. Mitigative practices are the second line of defense where baseline BMPs or other pollution prevention practices have failed or are impractical. Mitigative BMPs are used throughout the installation.

6.7.4 Infiltration BMPs

Infiltration BMPs are surface or subsurface measures that allow for quick infiltration of stormwater runoff. Infiltration occurs rapidly because the structures or soils used in this practice are porous. Infiltration measures are advantageous since they provide treatment of runoff, recharge groundwater, and preserve natural stream flow. Although these measures often reduce the need for typical stormwater conveyances, they do require some level of maintenance and expertise to keep them from clogging and to maintain a high level of effectiveness. Typical infiltration measures include vegetated filter strips, grassed swales, level spreaders, infiltration trenches, and porous pavement. Vegetated filter strips are gently sloping areas of natural vegetation or artificially planted areas used to provide infiltration, remove pollutants such as sediment, and reduce stormwater flow and velocity. Grassed swales are vegetated depressions used to convey stormwater in a manner that filters and removes sediment. Runoff travels slowly through the swales allowing the sediment to drop out and infiltrate into the soil. Grass swales are found throughout the installation. Level spreaders are devices used at stormwater outfalls, conveyances, or dikes. This technique uses a depression in the soil that spreads the stormwater flow onto a flat area across a gentle slope. This changes the runoff into a sheet flow over a vegetated area and allows the speed of the flow to be reduced and infiltration to be increased. Level spreaders are located at stormwater outfalls throughout the installation. Infiltration trenches consist of a long, narrow trench that is filled with stone allowing for the temporary

6-13 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

storage of stormwater runoff in the open spaces between the stones. The stormwater slowly infiltrates into the surrounding soil or drains into underground pipes thorough holes and is then routed to an outflow point.

6.8 SEDIMENT AND EROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Locations in which soil is continually exposed to water, wind or ice can be prone to problems with erosion and sedimentation. Erosion is a natural process in which soil and rock material is loosened and removed. Sedimentation occurs when soil particles are suspended in surface runoff or wind and are deposited in streams and other water bodies. Human activities can accelerate erosion by removing vegetation, compacting or disturbing the soil, changing natural drainage patterns, and by covering the ground with impermeable surfaces (pavement, concrete, buildings). These activities prevent stormwater from infiltrating the ground and cause large amounts of water to move quickly across a site. The stormwater picks up sediment and pollutants and transports them to streams and rivers. Areas with a high potential for soil erosion on Fort Rucker include construction sites, demolition areas, areas of soil disturbance, heavy activity areas where plants cannot grow, steep slopes, stream banks, and areas with loose or sandy soils. Damaged stormwater conveyance systems or systems in which the flow of stormwater runoff exceeds design specifications can also contribute to erosion or sedimentation issues. To reduce the potential for soil erosion and sedimentation, all areas on Fort Rucker which due to topography, activities, or other factors that have a high potential for significant soil erosion must be identified and structural, vegetative, and/or stabilization BMPs must be implemented to limit erosion. Implementation of these BMPs must be sufficient to prevent or control the pollution of stormwater by soil particles in accordance with all applicable NPDES permits. The following practices are recommended ways to limit and control sediment and erosion during construction projects and other activities that disturb the soil: • Use BMPs to slow down the runoff flowing across disturbed areas; • Prevent runoff from flowing across disturbed areas by diverting flow to vegetated areas; • Provide drainage ways for increased runoff (use grassed swales rather than concrete); • Remove sediment from stormwater runoff before it leaves the disturbed area; • Minimize the time that soil is exposed by leaving existing vegetation that does not have to be removed;

6-14 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

• Minimize periods of bare ground by shortening construction periods and installing projects in phases or stages; • Stabilize disturbed soils as soon as possible; • Sequence construction phases in a manner that supports shortened construction periods and permits the use of temporary and permanent seeding; • Use outfall sediment control measures that minimize sediment transport off of the disturbed site and prevent sediment from leaving a construction site by using designated entrance/exits during muddy periods; • Plan appropriate erosion control for all kinds of erosion that may occur depending upon specific-site conditions; • Install erosion control plantings at every opportunity; • Ensure any disturbed areas are re-vegetated and meet ADEM’s definition of final stabilization from Part IV (T)(17) of the Construction General Permit (ALR100000); and • Perform regular and timely inspections.

The Field Guide for Erosion and Sediment Control on Construction Sites in Alabama and the Alabama Handbook for Erosion Control, Sediment Control, and Stormwater Management on Construction Sites and Urban Areas each provide guidance and design specifications for specific BMPs that prevent or minimize erosion, sedimentation, and stormwater runoff. The Alabama Handbook for Erosion Control, Sediment Control, and Stormwater Management on Construction Sites and Urban Areas includes hay bales as an approved material for use as a construction best management practice for applications such as temporary check dams, sediment basins, and sediment barriers. However, hay bales have been shown to be ineffective on Fort Rucker. Because of this, Fort Rucker prohibits hay bale installation. Manufactured products such as silt fence and fiber wattles have been shown to be more effective and have a longer life span and may be used as an alternative to hay bales. For construction sites greater than one acre, a Construction Best Management Practices Plan is required to be developed prior to disturbance. This document must specifically outline erosion and sediment control BMPs that will be utilized throughout each phase of construction in order to comply with the Construction General Stormwater Permit. The CBMPP must be re- evaluated and updated as the project commences and failures of these BMPs are identified.

6-15 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

6.9 ACTIVITY-SPECIFIC BMPS

Table 5-1 includes information on the various activities conducted at Fort Rucker that have the potential to contaminate stormwater. BMPs specific to each activity are included in this table. The following activities are identified in the table and have corresponding BMPs: • Aircraft Fueling • Ground Vehicle Fueling • Aircraft and Vehicle Maintenance • Aircraft and Vehicle Washing • Aircraft and Vehicles Painting and Surface Preparation Operations • Aircraft Operations • Ground Vehicle Operations • Facilities Maintenance and Operations

This section provides general BMPs that are implemented across the installation for these activities. Higher Risk Activities

Fort Rucker has determined that containers stored outside without cover and containers that have a capacity of 55-gallons or larger pose a higher risk for stormwater contamination than other containers. All containers that hold 55-gallons or more of liquid and all liquid hazardous waste containers are provided with secondary containment to mitigate the risk posed by these containers. The containers are also included in the SPCC Plan, which includes measures to both prevent and respond to releases of materials. As a result of the planning for the SPCC Plan, Fort Rucker has minimized the risk to stormwater contamination by these activities. The measures that have been implemented are highly effective at decreasing the quantities of contaminates entering the storm drain, preventing pollution, complying with regulations, and reducing operational costs. Specific procedures relating to each type of container are included in Section 6 of the SPCC Plan and are not repeated in this document. General Product Handling

Installation personnel follow SOPs for product handling as listed in applicable field and technical manuals (TMs). In general, personnel follow the spill prevention procedures below when transferring product to or from a tanker truck:

6-16 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

• Load or unload in approved locations only; • Establish communications between pumping and receiving stations; • Verify the remaining volume of the receiving container; • Properly close all drainage valves for any secondary containment; • Allow sufficient volume (approximately ten percent of the total capacity) in the container for thermal expansion; and • Visually inspect all valves for leakage when transfer is complete.

In addition, the following policies, procedures and requirements for issuing fuel by the POL attendants/dispatchers are listed in the SOP for fuel sites: • Ensure all tankers are properly marked and warning placards are in place before fuel is issued; • Ensure that wheels are chocked and vehicles are grounded. Customers are responsible for their own vehicles; • Turn vehicles off and place fire extinguishers and drip pans where needed; • Have absorbent materials for leaks and spills; • Do not leave vehicles unattended during loading or unloading; • The responsibility for cleanup is that of the organization which created the spill. This includes the disposal of any material used in cleanup; and • Do not issue or receive bulk fuel during a lightning storm.

All transfer areas are protected by the use of active secondary containment measures. Each truck delivering oil products is required to have spill response supplies on board, which are easily accessible during transfer operations. The facilities with oil storage containers also have spill kits available that can be accessed in the event of a release. Fort Rucker has additional spill response capabilities with the Fire Department, which acts as the installation’s first responder in the event of a release, and with the Support Services contractor that maintains a fully stocked spill response trailer and a trained spill response team. General Maintenance Areas BMPs

Aircraft, vehicle, and equipment maintenance activities use materials or create wastes that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. Common activities that can contaminate stormwater include engine repairs and service, parts cleanings, shop cleaning, spilled fuel oil or other materials, replacement of engine fluids, and disposal of

6-17 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX materials or process wastes. Pollutants include hazardous materials, solvents and degreasing products, waste automotive fluids, oils and greases, acids, and caustic wastes. If stored or handled incorrectly, these hazardous substances can enter water bodies through storm drains or through small streams where they can harm fish and wildlife. The following practices are designed to reduce the potential for these activities to impact stormwater: • Only designated maintenance areas should be used to drain and replace fluids; • Perform maintenance activities indoors in designated areas that are not connected to the sanitary sewer and where drips and spills can be easily cleaned up; • During maintenance activities, keep a drip pan under the vehicle while unclipping hoses, unscrewing filters, or removing other parts; • Properly label all materials and wastes and maintain an organized material inventory; • Store used batteries in a non-leaking, compatible container; • Promptly transfer used fluids to the proper waste or recycling drums; • Store all liquid hazardous waste and any materials in containers 55-gallons or larger with secondary containment; • When transferring liquids and wastes, use funnels and drip pans to reduce spillage; • Do not overfill drip pans and do not leave full drip pans or other open containers lying around; • Return unused hazardous materials to their designated storage areas after use; • Segregate, label, and recycle/dispose engine fluids, batteries and other wastes in accordance with applicable regulations; • Do not pour liquid waste down floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drain inlets; • Clean up leaks, drips, and other spills without water and use rags for small spills, a damp mop for general cleanup, and dry absorbent material for larger spills; • Use dry sweep or other cleanup methods to clean maintenance areas; • Do not use a hose or pressure washer to “wash down” the floor;

6-18 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

• Use designated areas for aircraft and vehicle fueling and washing; • Ensure spill kits are easily accessible, fully stocked and personnel are trained to use equipment; and • Contain spills immediately.

BMPs for Small Parts and Equipment Cleaning

Equipment cleaning activities have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff with oils and greases, heavy metals and suspended solids, toxic hydrocarbons and other organic compounds, and depending on the type of cleaner used, nutrients and phosphates. Dry cleaning methods (ex: scraping parts with a wire brush) that reduce the need to clean using hazardous chemicals are encouraged. Small parts and equipment cleaning must take place only in designated areas. Fort Rucker has implemented a parts washer program that utilizes Clarus parts washers. The Clarus machines contain an internal filtration system that extends the life of the solvent. DPW-ENRD also has a solvent recycling program that removes and the solvent from the machines and filters the solvent for reuse. Personnel are trained in proper parts washer operation to increase the life of the solvent and reduce the amount of solvent used. The following practices should be followed by each parts washer operator: • Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) (i.e., rubber gloves, safety glasses, aprons, etc.); • Inspect parts washers frequently to ensure that it is in proper working order, that there are no detectable solvent leaks or spills, and that the lid is closed; • Always keep the parts washer lid closed when it is not physically in use; • Do not pour POL, paint, or other hazardous materials into the parts washer; • Do not use parts washers to triple rinse containers that contained POL, paint, grease, or other hazardous materials; • Do not use parts washers to rinse drip pans, oil or fuel filters, brake shoes or to clean paint brushes or paint accessories; • Do not store objects that are taller than the sink basin in the solvent tank as it prohibits the lid from closing; • If an electrical problem is found, turn the solvent tank off, and unplug it from the main power source; • Do not attempt to repair broken parts washers, contact DPW-ENRD for further guidance; and

6-19 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

• Do not move parts washers from one location to another location without the approval/assistance of the DPW-ENRD. • Clean up spills of solvent or other cleaning liquids immediately, contain in drip pans, drums, or other spill collection devices, and dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations

BMPs for Aircraft and Vehicle Washing

Wash water produced from aircraft and vehicle washing activities has the potential to transport oils and greases, detergents, nutrients, phosphates, heavy metals and suspended solids, toxic hydrocarbons and other organic compounds to stormwater runoff. Wash water with high concentrations of these pollutants has the potential to exhibit a high biological oxygen demand (BOD) on receiving waters and cause harm to fish and wildlife. The following practices will help to reduce the potential of these contaminates from entering the stormwater system. Only designated areas should be used for aircraft or vehicle washing. Washing over impervious surfaces like concrete, blacktop, or hard packed dirt allows wash water to enter storm drains directly or deposits contaminants on the ground, where they are washed into storm drains when it rains. These areas are bermed to collect the wastewater and graded to direct the wash water to a treatment facility. Regardless of the type of washing activity, the following practices will reduce the potential of stormwater or ground water contamination. • Inspect washing equipment frequently to ensure that there are no detectable holes or leaks in plumbing connections; • Promptly repair leaks and/or damaged areas and items ; • Turn off the water supply when wash equipment is not in operation; • Install timers, automatic spray heads, and automatic shutoff nozzles where applicable; and • Use only cleaning agents that are approved by DPW-ENRD.

BMPs for Painting Operations

Typical painting operations involve sanding, grinding, stripping, and painting. These activities use materials or create wastes that contain toxic metals and have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff if handled or disposed incorrectly. Implementation of the following BMPs encourages the reduction or elimination of contaminates derived from painting operations.

6-20 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

Paint typically adheres to surfaces that are clean and dry. To extend the life of the paint job and reduce that amount of parts that must be re-sanded or painted, each part should be inspected prior to painting to ensure they are free of water, dust, debris, and rust. To ensure painting equipment operates as efficiently as possible, operators must be trained in proper painting techniques. This will lessen the amount of paint needed for each job and reduce the amount of overspray and excessive paint solids. Most painting operations take place in a paint booth. Only touch up painting is permitted outside of a booth in accordance with the Title V permit. Overspray and other paint solids each have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff during touch up painting operations outside of a paint booth area. Painting equipment that ensures that paint is deposited where it is supposed to not only reduces the amount of overspray and wasted paint but also the potential contamination of stormwater. The following application techniques are required and used in order to reduce overspray: high volume/low pressure (HVLP) spray gun application, flow/curtain coating, dip coat application, roll coating, brush coating, cotton tip swab applications, electrodeposition (dip) coating, electrostatic spray application, and other application methods that achieve emission reductions equivalent to HVLP or electrostatic spray. Primers and topcoats should be handled in a manner to minimize spills when transferring from one container to another. Painting equipment should be inspected prior to use to ensure it is operating correctly. If deficiencies are found, the equipment should be repaired or replaced. Personnel should also be trained in good housekeeping, preventive maintenance and visual inspection BMPs that are specific to painting operations. Sanding, grinding, or paint scraping activities should take place indoors. This practice will reduce or eliminate the possibility of paint debris coming in contact with stormwater. Paint chips and other solid wastes produced during these activities should be contained in tarps or drop cloths, vacuumed using the appropriate high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum equipment, and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. If small-scale sanding, grinding, or scraping activities must be performed outside, care should be taken not to perform this task on a windy day and the work area should be enclosed by plastic sheeting or tarps. Regardless of the work area location, work areas should be kept clean and orderly and vacuumed on a regular basis to prevent the transport of dust and debris by wind. Adequate ventilation and personal safety equipment must also be made available. When possible, use recycled, refined, or purified materials to include paint, paint thinner, or solvents. To reduce the amount of clean solvent used, dirty solvent can be used to clean dirty spray equipment or parts before equipment is cleaned with clean solvent. Spills of paint, solvent, or other liquids should be cleaned up immediately, contained in drip pans, drums, or other spill collection devices, and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.

6-21 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

BMPs for Hazardous Material and Hazardous Waste Storage Areas

The following BMPs encourage hazardous material and hazardous waste storage and handling procedures that will reduce the likelihood of stormwater contamination: • Identify all toxic and hazardous substances stored, handled, and produced onsite and become familiar with handling procedures for these materials; • Maintain an up-to-date list of all chemical substances and ensure there is a MSDS/SDS on file for each; • Provide adequate aisle space to allow for material transfer, easy access for inspections, and accessibility by emergency response equipment; • Store containers (including drums) and bags indoors or under a roof to prevent stormwater contact; • Store containers away from maintenance areas and high “traffic” areas to prevent accidental spills; • Store containers (including drums) and bags on spill pallets or similar devices to prevent contact of the container with water or moisture from the ground thereby reducing the potential for corrosion; • Store containers according to manufacturers' instructions to avoid damaging the containers from improper weight distribution and to ensure proper inspection; • Properly ground containers of flammable liquids to avoid sparks, potential explosions, and subsequent spills; • Provide instructions for securing containers (including drums) and provide a standard protocol for monitoring storage areas for signs of leaks and for reporting findings; • Ensure all containers (including drums) are properly labeled. Unlabeled chemicals and chemicals with deteriorated labels are often disposed of unnecessarily or improperly; • Clearly mark on the inventory hazardous materials that require special handling, storage, use, and disposal considerations; • Inspect drums for signs of rust, corrosion or damage. If a defect is found, carefully transfer the material or waste to a new container free of defects; • When not in use, equipment and vehicles used to unload or load materials or waste should be stored under cover to prevent spilled or pollutants from being washed off during rain events; and

6-22 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

• Loading and unloading of containers should take place under a roof to reduce exposure of materials, vehicles, and equipment to rain.

The best way to reduce the potential for stormwater contamination from storage areas is to reduce the amount stored. Fort Rucker has a pollution prevention program designed to implement waste reduction initiatives on the installation. The Fort Rucker HWMP specifies that container storage areas will have a containment system that is capable of collecting and holding spills, leaks, and precipitation. Run-on of precipitation into the containment system shall be prevented. Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation must be removed from the sump or collection area in as timely a manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system. Acceptable containment systems include, as applicable: • A sufficiently impervious underlying base for the containers, free of cracks or gaps, to contain leaks, spills, and accumulated rainfall until the collected material is detected and removed; • Efficient drainage design, so that standing liquid does not remain on the base of the container longer than one hour after a leakage or precipitation event, unless the containers are elevated, or are in some other manner protected from contact with accumulated liquids; and • Capacity sufficient to contain ten percent of the volume of the containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater.

Spill Response and Reporting Actions

Any person discovering a spill or release of oil or hazardous material, or a possible terrorist incident must immediately report the incident to his/her supervisor. In case a supervisor cannot be quickly notified or in case of a major spill (a spill that threatens personnel safety, reaches the soil or may reach surface waters, storm drains, or sanitary sewer drains), the Directorate of Public Safety, Fire and Emergency Services Division (DPS-F&ESD) must be notified immediately at 911 following the procedures in Appendix F. The employee or supervisor reporting a spill to the Fire and Emergency Services Division should provide the information listed in Appendix F, as completely as possible, to help the Initial Response Installation On-Scene Coordinator (IR-IOSC) assess the magnitude and potential seriousness of the spill or release. In addition, a follow up report must be forwarded to DPW-ENRD within 24 hours on all spills. If any of the conditions listed below occur, the appropriate notifications must be made as described in the flowchart located in Appendix F. (Call 911)

6-23 Best Management Practices SECTION SIX

1. The spill could result in the release of flammable or combustible liquids or vapors, thus causing a fire or explosion hazard. 2. The spill could cause the release of toxic liquid or fumes, endangering people or the environment. 3. The spill could be contained on the site, but the potential exists for groundwater contamination. 4. The spill cannot be contained on the site, resulting in off-site soil contamination. 5. The spill has reached soil and threatens to reach surface waters, storm drains, or sanitary sewer drains. The employee or supervisor reporting a spill to the Fire Department should provide the following information to the fullest extent known (see USAACE Form 2718, Spill Notification Report in Appendix G): • Location, time, and type of incident (spill, fire, injury, etc.); • Name and call back number of person reporting the spill; • Name and quantity of spilled material, and the rate of release (an estimate is OK if not known); • Direction of the spill, vapor, or smoke release; • Fire and/or explosion possibility; • Coverage area of spill, and intensity of any fire or explosion (if applicable); and • The extent of injuries (if any).

An MSDS/SDS for the spilled material can be faxed to the Fire and Emergency Services Division (if it can be done quickly) or provided at the time of their arrival to the scene. As part of the existing notification procedures, the Fire and Emergency Services Division will always notify the DPW-ENRD so there is no need for the reporter of the spill to place a second call to the DPW-ENRD once the Fire and Emergency Services Division has been notified.

When the Fire and Emergency Services Division has determined that there is no longer a threat to life or property, the DPW-ENRD will serve as the on-scene coordinator and will determine if the spill is reportable to others as required by the ISCP. Cleanup assistance and remediation of the site (if necessary) will be provided by the installation maintenance support contractor and the organization responsible for the spill will be billed later for any cleanup or remediation expenses.

6-24 SECTION SIX Best Management Practices

The organization responsible for the spill or release must complete a written spill report and fax it to the DPW-ENRD at (334) 255-2058 within three days of the incident. A copy of the written spill report is included in Appendix G.

6-26 SECTION SEVEN Construction Site Stormwater Management 7. CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT All construction sites, regardless of size, must follow procedures to ensure protection of stormwater. The procedures contained within this Plan to meet the requirements of Fort Rucker’s industrial discharge permit are applicable to all contractors performing work on the installation. In addition to following the procedures within this Plan, each contractor with a permitted site must develop and implement a CBMPP for their construction site. This section describes requirements for all construction sites at Fort Rucker.

7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The following basic stormwater pollution principles, which are recommended by the EPA, should be implemented for all construction sites: • Divert stormwater away from disturbed or exposed areas of the construction site; • Install BMPs to control erosion and sedimentation and manage stormwater; • Inspect the site regularly and properly maintain BMPs, especially after rain events; • Revise stormwater plans and best management practices as site conditions change or if BMPs are not effectively controlling stormwater; • Minimize exposure of bare soils to precipitation to the extent practicable; and • Keep the construction site clean by putting trash in trash cans, keeping storage bins covered, and sweeping up excess sediment on roads and other impervious surfaces.

In addition to these basic stormwater pollution principles, Fort Rucker also requires that any disturbed areas, regardless of size, must be re-vegetated and meet ADEM’s definition of final stabilization from Part IV (T)(17) of the Construction General Permit (ALR100000).

7.2 NPDES PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-12 implements a state-wide construction stormwater regulatory program consistent with NPDES requirements for construction activities. This chapter also regulates non-coal, nonmetallic mining and dry processing sites less than five acres in size. ADEM has issued a NPDES Construction General Permit (ALR100000, effective 1 April 2016), which requires registration for construction activities that result in a total

7-1 Construction Site Stormwater Management SECTION SEVEN

disturbance of one acre or greater, and sites less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale. A copy of this permit is included in Appendix B. For non-coal, nonmetallic mining and dry processing sites, ADEM has issued a NPDES Small Mining General Permit (ALG890000, effective January 31, 2013), which requires registration for borrow pits less than five acres. A copy of this permit is included in Appendix B.

7.2.1 Construction Sites Over One Acre

Registration under the ADEM NPDES Construction General Permit requires the submittal of a Notice of Intent (NOI) – General Permit Number ALR100000 (ADEM Form 24). A copy of the NOI is located in Appendix H. This registration requires the use of Fee Schedule D, which is located on the ADEM website. ADEM requires owner/operators, contractors, and other responsible entities to apply for and obtain NPDES permit coverage prior to conducting regulated construction disturbance. The operator is the person who has operational control over construction plans and specifications, and/or the person who has day-to-day supervision and control of activities occurring at a construction site. In some cases, the operator may be the owner or the developer; in other cases, the operator may be the general contractor; and in some cases, both entities will be considered operators. The State of Alabama and EPA require all relevant entities to obtain permit coverage, as co-permittees, for a given construction project.

7.2.2 Small Non-coal, Nonmetallic Mining and Dry Processing Sites Less Than Five Acres in Size (Borrow Pit)

Registration under the ADEM NPDES Small Mining General Permit requires the submittal of a Notice of Intent (NOI) – General Permit Number ALG890000. A copy of the NOI is located in Appendix H. This type of NPDES Registration requires the use of Fee Schedule D, which is also available on the ADEM website. The owner/operator, contractor, or other responsible entity, separately or collectively, must retain NPDES registration coverage for regulated projects until existing disturbance activity and future proposed disturbance activity is complete and all disturbed areas have been reclaimed and/or effective stormwater quality remediation has been achieved.

7.3 CONSTRUCTION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE PLAN

Federal NPDES regulations require the development of a SWPPP for all construction sites greater than or equal to one acre. ADEM considers requirements for a SWPPP to be met through activities and BMPs that have been properly planned, designed,

7-2 SECTION SEVEN Construction Site Stormwater Management

implemented, and maintained under the terms of Chapter 335-6-12 and the Construction General Permit. To ensure that these requirements are met, ADEM code requires each construction activity to prepare, implement, and maintain a CBMPP. This plan must be designed to minimize pollutant discharges in stormwater runoff to the maximum extent practicable during land disturbance activities. The CBMPP is the ADEM equivalent to a SWPPP. ADEM makes it clear that lack of knowledge by the operator of construction site conditions and compliance with ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-12 is not a valid defense in any enforcement actions. The CBMPP must be prepared by a QCP, and it must be maintained on site during the life of the construction activity and must be available to contractors; other site staff; and to EPA, state and local officials. The CBMPP is only required to be submitted to ADEM if the operator is proposing a discharge to a Tier 1 waterbody, an Outstanding National Resource Water (ONRW) designated waterbody, or for projects involving waterbody relocation or significant alteration. A portion of the Choctawhatchee watershed, Harrand Creek in Coffee and Dale County and Indian Camp Creek in Coffee County, are listed as Tier 1 waterbodies relative to construction activity (on the most recently EPA approved 303(d) list of impaired waters for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation). The construction operator is responsible for developing an adequate CBMPP. For further reference, the EPA document, Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan – A Guide for Construction Sites can be reviewed. ADEM has also created a CBMPP template, which is located on the ADEM website.

7.4 CONSTRUCTION BMPS

Construction sites lacking adequate stormwater controls can contribute significant amounts of sediment to streams and lakes. To reduce water quality impacts, construction sites are required to install and maintain appropriate erosion and sediment control, stormwater management, and BMPs. To minimize repetition of information, detailed information on construction BMPs is not included in this Plan. Planners, designers, developers, contractors and inspectors should refer to the Alabama Handbook for Erosion Control, Sediment Control and Stormwater Management on Construction Sites and Urban Areas. The Alabama Handbook contains ADEM approved technical standards and guidelines. Implementation of construction BMPs is required for all sites, including both permitted and unpermitted sites. The latest version of the Handbook is available for review in the DPW-ENRD Stormwater Program Manager’s Office or online. The Handbook includes hay bales as an approved material for use as a construction best management practice for applications such as temporary check dams, sediment basins, and sediment barriers. However, hay bales have been shown to be ineffective on Fort Rucker. Because of this, Fort Rucker prohibits hay bale installation. Manufactured

7-3 Construction Site Stormwater Management SECTION SEVEN

products such as silt fence and fiber wattles have been shown to be more effective and have a longer life span and may be used as an alternative to hay bales.

7.5 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Stormwater control BMPs need regular inspections to ensure their effectiveness. ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-12 and the Construction General Permit requires regular, comprehensive site and receiving water(s) inspections to ensure that effective BMPs are properly designed, implemented, and consistently maintained. Inspection locations include construction sites and areas impacted by the construction site, affected ditches and other stormwater conveyances, perennial and intermittent waterbody(s), streambanks, and floodplains. Comprehensive inspections must be performed by a QCP, a trained person under the direct supervision of a QCP, or a QCI trained through the QCIP. Inspectors should be familiar with the location, design specifications, maintenance requirements, and performance expectations of each BMP. Volume II Chapter 3 of the Alabama Handbook includes specifications for BMP maintenance (i.e., when sediment has reached half the height of the silt fence). If a BMP is inadequate in controlling erosion and sedimentation, the inspector must be able to identify the deficiency and ensure that necessary improvements are made. The inspection program is intended to identify and repair leaking equipment items and damaged containment structures, which may contribute to contaminated stormwater runoff. This program must include regular visual inspections of equipment, containment structures, and of the site in general to ensure that BMPs are continually implemented and effective.

7.6 SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL

ADEM requires construction site operators to prepare, implement, and maintain a SPCC Plan, as a separate document or as a component of the CBMPP, if oil in excess of 1,320 gallons is stored onsite in containers 55-gallons or greater. This document is required for all containers storing onsite oil products consistent with the requirements of Rule 335-6- 6-.12 and 40 CFR Part 112. The contractor’s SPCC Plan must consider the requirements included in the Fort Rucker ISCP and SPCC Plan when developing their plan. If the contractor is not required to develop a SPCC Plan, all spills or leaks of fuel or oil in or around the construction area must be managed in accordance with the Fort Rucker SPCC Plan and ISCP. Information about conformance with these requirements will be included in the CBMPP.

7-4 SECTION SEVEN Construction Site Stormwater Management

7.7 POLLUTION PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS

Excavated or dredged materials must be observed and/or analyzed to ensure that potential pollutants are not present in concentrations that could cause or contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards. Information regarding the evaluation or detailed results of any analyses must be made available to ADEM upon request. If during the course of treatment or control of stormwater, solids, sludges or other pollutant wastes are removed, these wastes must be disposed in a manner that complies with applicable ADEM rules. It is the responsibility of the construction site operator to ensure that agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or other onsite persons are informed of pollution prevention requirements on-site.

7.8 NON-COMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION

A non-compliant discharge that causes or contributes to a violation of applicable water quality standards must be visually monitored and reported to ADEM as soon as possible, but in no case later than 24-hours after becoming aware of such discharge. The operator is responsible for documenting and submitting a report of the non-compliance to ADEM within five days of becoming aware of any BMP deficiency/failure or non-compliant discharge that causes or contributes to a violation of applicable water quality standard. The operator must use ADEM Form 501, NPDES Construction, and Non-coal Mining Less Than Five Acres Stormwater Noncompliance Notification Report, or ADEM Form 25, ADEM NPDES Construction Stormwater Noncompliance Notification Report, to document any non-compliant areas. These forms are located in Appendix H and on the ADEM website. A complete list of these requirements is located in ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-12 Section .33.

7.9 MONITORING

A Priority Construction Site is defined in the Construction General Permit as “any site that discharges to a waterbody which is listed on the most recently EPA approved 303(d) list of impaired waters for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation, any waterbody for which a TMDL has been finalized or approved by EPA for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation, any waterbody assigned the Outstanding Alabama Water use classification in accordance with ADEM Admin Code 335-6-10-.09, and any waterbody assigned a special designation in accordance with ADEM Admin Code 335-6-10-.10.” Fort Rucker is within the watershed for two 303(d) listed waters for siltation. These listed waterbodies are Harrand Creek and Indian Camp Creek. Projects within this watershed should be phased to the maximum extent possible in order to avoid disturbance of ten acres or more at one time. See Appendix I for a map depicting the areas included in this watershed.

7-5 Construction Site Stormwater Management SECTION SEVEN

Any Priority Construction Site that disturbs ten acres or more at one time must conduct turbidity monitoring in accordance with Part V of the Construction General Permit. This part requires that representative monitoring points be sampled at three locations: (1) the nearest accessible location just prior to discharge and after final treatment, or at the point(s) where stormwater runoff leaves the property boundary; (2) in the receiving stream at the nearest accessible location upstream of the point of discharge; and (3) in the receiving stream at the nearest accessible location immediately downstream of the mixing zone. These points are required to be annotated in the CBMPP with grid coordinates. Sampling for turbidity must be done by a QCI, QCP, or a qualified person under the direct supervision of a QCP. Samples collected for turbidity will be analyzed using a turbidimeter that is properly calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A calibration log will be maintained by the Permittee. Sample collection and preservation must conform to 40 CFR Part 136 and guidelines published pursuant to Section 304(h) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), 33 USC Section 1314(h). These same guidelines apply in the event that the sample exceeds the upper range of the turbidimeter. If this event should occur, the sample will be sent to a certified lab for testing. Monitoring will be conducted in conjunction with any comprehensive inspection when discharges are occurring or following a qualifying precipitation event (0.75 inches or greater in a 24-hour period) if discharges occur as a result of the event. All measurements will be annotated on ADEM Form 23.

7.10 POST CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS

The EPA requires that stormwater discharges permitted under the NPDES program meet water quality standards, but does not stipulate specific post-construction design standards for individual stormwater BMPs. ADEM requires post-construction stormwater management to be implemented only if the construction activities impose significant hydrologic modifications to the site. Post-construction stormwater management is not required to address stormwater quality from operation of the completed facility provided construction activity is complete and effective stormwater quality remediation of the construction disturbance has been achieved. Post-construction stormwater management is not required for projects that do not significantly alter runoff volumes or velocities from conditions existing prior to the NPDES construction activity.

7.11 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION

When construction activities have concluded, when another entity assumes control of the site, and/or upon the completion of effective stormwater quality remediation, the operator is required to submit a request for registration termination to ADEM using ADEM Form 499, NPDES Construction, and Non-coal Mining Less Than Five Acres Stormwater

7-6 SECTION SEVEN Construction Site Stormwater Management

Registration Termination Request and Certification or ADEM Form 21, Termination Request – General Permit Number ALR100000. These forms are located in Appendix H and on the ADEM website. ADEM requires this request to include photographs and monitoring data for the site. The request for termination must confirm that the stormwater discharges associated with construction activity have been eliminated, effective reclamation or stormwater quality remediation has been achieved and permanent vegetation has been established meeting the final stabilization definition (100 percent of the soil surface is uniformly covered in permanent vegetation with a density of 85 percent or greater). It must be prepared and certified by a QCP and should include the following certifications: • Certification from the operator and a QCP or a qualified person under the direct supervision of a QCP that documents that the site has been properly completed in accordance with the ADEM requirements. • Certification that required inspections were performed by a QCI, QCP, or a qualified person under the direct supervision of a QCP. Documentation may be required. • Certification that QCIP continuing education training was completed if required by this Chapter. Documentation may be required.

If the operator loses operational control of the site, confirmation must also be made to ADEM. A complete list of these requirements can be found in Chapter 335-6-12-.25(3)(c). It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that information and attachments submitted in the request for termination is true, complete, and accurate. Following termination submittal, operators should verify that ADEM receives the request for termination. If ADEM requires any corrected or additional information to complete the request for termination, this must be provided by the operator. Failure to submit a complete and correct request for termination and ensure that the construction site remains in full compliance with all provisions of Chapter 335-6-12 may result in denial of the request for termination. Unless the operator is notified by the Department within 30 days of receipt that the request has not been granted, in total or in part, the request for termination is considered granted provided the operator complies with, and the construction site remains in full compliance with all provisions of ADEM Administrative Code Chapter 335-6-12.

DISCUSSION:

This facility is a military training facility specializing in the initial and advanced aviation flight and maintenance training.

ADEM Administrative Rule 335-6-10-.12 requires applicants to new or expanded discharges to Tier II waters demonstrate that the proposed discharge is necessary for important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located. The application submitted by the facility is not for a new or expanded discharge. Therefore, the applicant is not required to demonstrate that the discharge is necessary for economic and social development.

EPA has not promulgated specific guidelines for the discharges covered under the proposed permit.. Proposed penn it limits are based on Best Professional Judgment. The proposed frequencies are based on a review of site specific conditions and an evaluation of similar facilities. 005Y: Storm water associated with military base operations.

Best Professional Judgement (BPJ) The parameters of concern for this facility are based on the parameters of concern listed in EPA form 2F and from the current permit. These parameters are consistent with similar facilities in the state and have been proven to be reflective of the operations at this facility. The parameters with specific limits are discussed below:

Oil & Grease The daily maximum limit for Oil and Grease should prevent the occurrence of a visible sheen in the stream and has been shown to be achievable through the use of proper BMPs.

Jill ADEM Administrative Code, Division 6 Regulations, specifically 335-6-10-.09(3)©(2) - Specific Water Quality for Fish & Wildlife classified streams states: "Sewage, industrial waste or other wastes shall not cause the pH to deviate more than one unit from then normal or natural pH, nor be less than 6.0, nor greater than 8.5 standard units." However, based on historical data and the fact that this is a storm water driven discharge; it is the opinion of the permit writer that a monitor only requirement is warranted.

Best Management Practices (BMPs) are believed to be the most effective way to control the contamination of storm water from areas of industrial activities. This facility is required to maintain a BMP plan. The requirements of the BMP plan call for minimization of storm water contact with waste materials, products and by-products, and for prevention of spills or loss of fluids from equipment maintenance activities. The effectiveness of the BMPs will be measured through the monitoring of the pollutants of concern.

It should be noted that DSN005Y shall be deemed representative of the seven discharges from the facility because it drains from the motor pool area, which has been deemed the area most likely under worst-case conditions to experience exposure by the facility.

PART III Stormwater Pollution Prevention Requirements

The stormwater control requirements in this Part are the technology-based, non-numeric effluent limitations and conditions that apply to all discharges from construction projects eligible for coverage under this permit. These requirements apply the national effluent limitations guidelines and new source performance standards found at 40 CFR Part 450. Where the requirements in this Part are stricter than any corresponding Federal, State, or local requirements, the requirements in this permit take precedence.

A. Erosion Controls and Sediment Controls The Permittee shall design, install, and maintain effective erosion controls and sediment controls, appropriate for site conditions to, at a minimum: 1. Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity through the use of project phasing or other appropriate techniques; 2. Provide and maintain a 25 foot natural riparian buffer around surface waters as discussed in detail in Part III.B.; 3. Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion; 4. Implement measures or requirements to achieve the pollutant reductions consistent with a TMDL finalized or approved by EPA. Applicable TMDLs are located and/or can be accessed at http://adem.alabama.gov/programs/water/approvedTMDLs.htm 5. Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flowrates and total stormwater volume, to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in the immediate vicinity of discharge points; 6. Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes, as defined by Part V; 7. Minimize sediment discharges from the site; 8. Minimize the generation of dust through the appropriate application of water or other dust suppression techniques; 9. Minimize all stream crossings; 10. Stabilize all construction entrances and exits; and minimize off-site tracking of sediment from vehicles; 11. Where applicable, install storm drain inlet protection measures to further prevent sediment discharges; 12. Direct stormwater to vegetated areas to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater infiltration, unless infeasible; and 13. Minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil. 14. Additional Design Requirements (a) Sediment control measures, erosion control measures, and other site management practices must be properly selected based on site-specific conditions, must meet or exceed the technical standards outlined in the Alabama Handbook and the site-specific CBMPP prepared in accordance with Part III.D. (b) Unless specified otherwise by the Alabama Handbook, sediment control measures, erosion control measures, and other site management practices shall be designed and maintained to minimize erosion and maximize sediment removal resulting from a 2-year, 24-hour storm event. (c) The Permittee is encouraged to design the site, the erosion prevention measures, sediment controls measures, and other site management practices with consideration of minimizing stormwater runoff, both

8

during and following construction, including facilitating the use of low-impact development (LID) and green infrastructure. B. Provide Natural Riparian Buffers or Equivalent Sediment Controls Natural riparian buffer requirements apply to all waters of the state adjacent to construction sites or contained within their overall project boundary. A 25-foot natural riparian buffer zone adjacent to all waters of the state at the construction site shall be preserved, to the maximum extent practicable, during construction activities at the site. The natural riparian buffer should be preserved between the top of stream bank and the disturbed construction area. The water quality buffer zone aids in the protection of waters of the state (e.g., perennial and intermittent streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands) located within or immediately adjacent to the boundaries of the project. Natural riparian buffers are not primary sediment control measures and should not be relied on as such. The natural riparian buffer requirement only applies to new construction sites. 1. Compliance Alternatives (a) Provide and maintain a 25-foot undisturbed natural riparian buffer; or (i) If land disturbances are located 25 feet or further from surface water, then compliance with this alternative has been achieved. (ii) Rehabilitation and enhancement of a natural riparian buffer is allowed, if necessary, for improvement of its effectiveness of protection of the waters of the state. (iii) Any preexisting structures (e.g., buildings, parking lots, roadways, utility lines, structures, impervious surfaces) are allowed in the natural riparian buffer; provided the Permittee retains and protects from disturbance any additional natural buffer area contained within the natural riparian buffer but outside the preexisting structures footprint. (b) Provide and maintain an undisturbed natural riparian buffer that is less than 25 feet and is supplemented by additional erosion and sediment controls, which in combination achieves the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 25-foot undisturbed natural riparian buffer; or (c) If it is infeasible to provide and maintain an undisturbed natural riparian buffer of any size, the Permittee must implement erosion and sediment controls that achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 25-foot undisturbed natural riparian buffer. (d) All discharges from the area of earth disturbance to the natural riparian buffer must first be treated by the site’s erosion and sediment controls, and use velocity dissipation devices if necessary to prevent erosion caused by stormwater within the natural riparian buffer. (e) All compliance alternatives must be documented in the CBMPP and comply with all requirements. The natural riparian buffer boundary should be indicated on the site plan. (f) Compliance alternatives must be maintained throughout the duration of permit coverage. (g) All natural riparian buffer areas should be delineated, and clearly marked off with flags, tape, or similar marking device. 2. Construction activities at sites that have been permitted prior to April 1, 2016, are exempt from the requirements of this Part III.B. Confirmation of permit coverage prior to April 1, 2016, must be submitted with the NOI. 3. If there is no discharge of stormwater to waters of the state through the areas between the construction site and any waters of the state located within 25 feet of the construction site, compliance with this requirement is achieved. 4. Where no natural riparian buffer exists due to preexisting development disturbances (e.g., buildings, parking lots, roadways, utility lines, structures, impervious surfaces) that occurred prior to the initiation of planning for the current development of the site, the Permittee is not required to comply with the requirements in this section, unless portions of the preexisting development will be removed.

5. Where some natural riparian buffer exists but portions of the area within 25 feet of the waters of the state are occupied by preexisting development disturbances (e.g., buildings, parking lots, roadways, utility lines, structures, and impervious surfaces), the Permittee is required to comply with the requirements in this section. Only the portion of the buffer zone that contains the footprint of the existing “structure” is exempt from the natural riparian buffer. Activities necessary to maintain uses are allowed provided that no additional vegetation is removed from the natural riparian buffer. 6. For “linear construction projects”, the Permittee is not required to comply with the requirements in this section if site constraints (e.g., limited right-of-way) prevent the Permittee from meeting any of the compliance alternatives provided that, to the extent practicable, disturbances within 25 feet of the water of the state are limited and/or supplemental erosion and sediment controls to treat stormwater discharges from earth disturbances within 25 feet of the waters of the state are provided. It must be documented in the CBMPP as to why compliance with this section is infeasible, and describe any buffer width retained and/or supplemental erosion and sediment controls installed. 7. The following disturbances within 25 feet of a water of the state are exempt from the requirements in this Part: (a) Construction approved under a CWA Section 404 permit; or (b) Construction of a water-dependent structure or water access area (e.g., pier, boat ramp, seawall, bridge, drainage structure, trail, etc.)

C. Soil Stabilization Final stabilization of disturbed areas must, at a minimum, be initiated immediately whenever any clearing, grading, excavating or other earth disturbing activities have permanently ceased on any portion of the site. Temporary stabilization of disturbed areas must be initiated immediately whenever work toward project completion and final stabilization of any portion of the site has temporarily ceased on any portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding thirteen (13) calendar days.

D. Pollution Prevention Measures The Permittee must design, install, implement, and maintain effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants. At a minimum, such measures must be designed, installed, implemented and maintained to: 1. Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing, wheel wash water, concrete washout, and other wash waters. Wash waters must be treated in a sediment basin or alternative control that provides equivalent or better treatment prior to discharge; (a) Liquid waste shall not be directly discharged into storm sewers. (b) Washout and cleanout activities should be located as far away as possible from surface waters, natural buffer areas, stormwater inlets, and conveyances. 2. Minimize the exposure of building materials, building products, construction wastes, trash, landscape materials, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, sanitary waste and other materials present on the site to precipitation and to stormwater; 3. Minimize the discharge of pollutants from any spills and leaks from, including but not limited to vehicles; mechanical equipment; chemical storage; and refueling activities; and 4. Use of polymers, flocculants, or other treatment chemicals at the site may only be applied where treated stormwater is directed to a sediment control prior to discharge.

B. Spill: A spill is broadly defined as a release of any kind of a petroleum product (fuel or oil) or hazardous substance to the environment. Spill reaction is based largely on the nature, quantity, and location of the material spilled. For the purposes of this plan, the following spill classifications will apply:

1. Small Priming Spill - A spill that covers less than 18 inches in all directions. 2. Small Spill - A spill that extends less than 10 feet in any direction, covers less than 50 square feet, and is not continuous. 3. Large Spill - A spill that extends farther than 10 feet in any direction, covers an area in excess of 50 square feet or is continuous (e.g., a leaking tank).

C. Significant spill: A significant spill is defined as an uncontained release to the land, water or air in excess of any of the following quantities:

1. For hazardous waste or hazardous material identified as a result of inclusion in the Title III List of Lists (ISCP Appendix H), any quantity in excess of the reportable quantity (RQ) listed in the Title III List of Lists. 2. For oil or liquid or semi-liquid hazardous material or hazardous waste, in excess of 400 liters (110 gallons). For purposes of reporting to Federal, State, and local authorities, a reportable oil spill is defined as any spill that exceeds 25-gallons (ADEM requirement) or that reaches a stream, creek, river or any other body of water in harmful quantities (see definition above). 3. For other solid hazardous material, in excess of 225 kg (500 lbs.). 4. For combinations of oil and liquid, semi-liquid and solid hazardous materials or hazardous waste, in excess of 340 kg (750 lbs.). 5. If a spill is contained inside an impervious berm, or on a nonporous surface, or inside a building and is not volatilized and is cleaned up, the spill is considered a contained release and is not considered a significant spill.
