ECIP

ECIP. (1) Applicability. The prime contractor shall prepare an ECIP for a construction project with any of the following conditions: (a) The construction project includes land-disturbing construction activity. (b) The plan includes erosion control bid items. (c) The contractor proposes to use TSAs for the project. (d) There is reasonable potential for a discharge of pollutants to waters of the state. (2) General. The prime contractor shall prepare and implement an ECIP for a project using a department provided form and as follows: (a) The ECIP shall be prepared in a detailed, written and pictorial format that identifies the schedule, timing, and methodology for a prime contractor’s implementation of the project’s erosion control plan. (b) The ECIP shall detail any changes to the project’s erosion control plan. The detailed changes in the department-approved ECIP supersede contradictory provisions of the erosion control plan. (c) The ECIP shall include information on how and when BMPs will be implemented in anticipation of the sizes and locations of the areas on which land-disturbing construction activity occurs and shall address BMPs for each stage of land-disturbing construction activity at a project site or TSA site. (d) For any devices in addition to the erosion control plan, the prime contractor shall select BMPs from the matrix published under s. Trans 401.05 when preparing an ECIP. The prime contractor may not employ BMPs not specified in the matrix unless the department has specifically approved the use of that BMP in writing and in consultation with the DNR. (e) The prime contractor shall follow the ECIP to implement the erosion control plan for a project and to implement BMPs for the project site and any TSA sites. (f) No person may implement an ECIP or begin land-disturbing construction activities until the department, in consultation with the DNR, approves the ECIP. (3) Submittal and review requirements. (a) The prime contractor shall submit a complete ECIP to the department for review at least 14 working days before the preconstruction conference. (b) The department, following a review for completeness, will provide the ECIP to the DNR within 2 business days upon receipt, unless otherwise agreed to by all parties. If the department determines the ECIP is incomplete, the department will notify the prime contractor within 2 working days. (c) The DNR may, within 14 working days of receiving the ECIP, submit to the department any comments and requests for additional data or information necessary to complete its review of the ECIP. (d) The department will summarize and provide all comments to the prime contractor within 2 working days after the review period in par. (c) has elapsed. (e) The prime contractor shall resubmit the ECIP for additional review and address any subsequent comments before the department, in consultation with the DNR, approves the ECIP. The department shall provide any revised submittals to the DNR, and the DNR shall have the opportunity to provide additional comments before the department approves the ECIP. (4) Content. (a) The ECIP shall include, at a minimum, all of the following items to complement the erosion control plan for the project: 1. The name, telephone number, and email for the principal contact of the prime contractor and the subcontractor responsible for installation and maintenance of BMPs at the project site. 2. A schedule, including the intended timetable and sequence of major land-disturbing construction activities and all pollutant generating construction activities. 3. A description of the staging of land-disturbing construction activities to limit exposed soils subject to erosion, including the minimization of bare soils on slopes greater than 20 percent and minimization of soil compaction outside of the roadway area. 4. A description of temporary and permanent BMPs and a schedule for implementing them at the project site. 5. A description of any additions, amendments, deletions, or modifications to the erosion control plan or to any of the contract documents that pertain to erosion control and stormwater management for the project site, including any SCPs. 6. A description of stockpile locations and methods for preventing discharge of sediments eroding from soil stockpiles existing for more than 7 calendar days. 7. A description of temporary stabilization practices for use on the site when land-disturbing construction activities have temporarily ceased and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days. 8. A description of site-dewatering activities, including treatment methods and discharge locations. 9. A timeframe for construction and installation of any SCPs, when applicable. If used as a temporary BMP during construction, include procedures for maintenance of the SCP during construction and restoration of the SCP after construction. 10. The storage methods and locations for pollutant-generating materials. 11. A description of methods to prevent or minimize the transport by runoff into waters of the state of chemicals, cement and other building compounds, and materials on the project site during the construction period. However, this subdivision does not prohibit project activities that require placement of these materials into waters of the state, such as constructing bridge footings or BMP installations. 12. A description of methods to prevent or minimize the transport by runoff into waters of the state of untreated wash water from vehicle and wheel washing when done on the project site. 13. The spill prevention and response procedures. (b) The ECIP shall, at a minimum, provide all of the following information for all TSA sites: 1. The site name, property owner name, and location of the TSA site. 2. The quarter, quarter-quarter, section, township, range, and the county in which the TSA site is located. 3. The name, telephone number, and email for the principal contact of the prime contractor and subcontractor responsible for installation and maintenance of BMPs at the site. 4. If the site has a separate stormwater discharge permit issued by the DNR, include the facility identification number, FIN, from the DNR permit. 5. A narrative description of the site and the nature of the land-disturbing construction activity and other pollutant-generating activities at the site. 6. A schedule and description of the intended sequence of major land-disturbing construction activities, including the anticipated start and finish dates of land-disturbing construction activities at the site. 7. The anticipated dates of stabilization on the site, including any interim stabilization and the expected date for final stabilization. 8. The total area of the site and the area of the site that will be disturbed by land-disturbing construction activities. 9. The available data describing the surface soils as well as subsoils. 10. The location of permanent infiltration devices and information showing the devices are designed in accordance with s. Trans 401.34 (6) . 11. The name of the immediate downstream receiving waters, if any, from the United States Geological Survey 7.5-minute series topographic maps or other appropriate source. 12. The identification of receiving waters, including downstream waters, that are designated ERW, ORW or impaired waters. 13. A site map that includes all of the following items: a. The existing topography and drainage patterns, roads, wetlands, floodplains, and surface waters. b. The location of drainage structures on or adjacent to the site. c. The boundaries of the site. d. The drainage patterns and approximate slopes anticipated after major land-disturbing construction activities. e. The areas of land-disturbing construction activity. f. The locations of temporary and permanent BMPs. g. The areas that will be vegetated following land-disturbing construction activities. h. The locations where stormwater will be discharged to a surface water or wetland. 14. A description of appropriate BMPs that will be employed at the site to prevent sediments and pollutants from discharging off the site or reaching waters of the state. The plan shall clearly describe the appropriate BMPs for each major activity identified and when the contractor will implement those BMPs during construction. The description of BMPs shall include, when appropriate, the following minimum requirements: a. A description of temporary and permanent BMPs including a schedule for implementing them. Site plans shall ensure the preservation of existing vegetation wherever practicable and the stabilization of disturbed portions of the site. b. A description of structural practices to divert runoff away from exposed soils, to store flows or to otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from the site. The contractor, maintenance provider, or utility person shall locate structural BMPs in upland soils. c. The management of overland flow at the site.
