his representative shall provide DEQ with one of the following documents.
1. Plans and specifications prepared and sealed by the professional engineer
responsible for observation on behalf of the owner. These plans and
specifications shall depict significant deviations in the actual construction and

!.h PROJECT SPECIFIC CONDITIONS:
A. DEQ has not conducted design review for stormwater plans and specifications and has
made no determination regarding whether the plans and specifications include
appropriate BMPs to protect ground water and surface water quality. DEQ reviews the
location of stormwater conveyances to determine public health and safety issues
associated with construction of public drinking water systems. DEQ finds that the
location of stormwater conveyances for this project meet the required separation
distances to public drinking water system features of concern as per IDAPA 58.01.08.
If the construction phase of this project is anticipated to disturb one acre or more of land,
or is part of a larger project that disturbs one acre or more of land, then the project may
be subject to regulation under the Federal Clean Water Act National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Stormwater events that occur during construction should be managed according to the
site-specific Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan and the other requirements of the
general permit. The on-line Construction General Permit and Notice of Intent can be
found at htto:/lwww.eoa.Qov/nodes.
If this project uses underground injection control (UIC) devices to treat and dispose of
stormwater, then the project may be subject to regulation under the "Rules And Minimum
Standards For The Construction And Use Of Injection Wells In The State Of Idaho"
(IDAPA 37.03.03) administered by the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) or
under authority of local government. Additional information on IDWR's ule program can
be found at: htto://www.idwr.idaho.qov/water/weIlJiniection.htm.
It is the project owner's responsibility to use appropriate stormwater best management
practices to prevent ground and surface water contamination.
