For City projects that disturb less than 1 acre and therefore do not require coverage
under the CGP, the City will require the Contractor to develop an Erosion and Sediment
Meridian Utility Improvements SPECIAL PROVISIONS SP-1Q
Control Plan (ESCP) to proactively manage storm water from the construction project.
The ESCP will be a simplified version of the SWPPP associated with larger projects
and include the following components:
^ Project name, location map, and responsible Contractor;
^ Pmject description;
^ Identification of potential impacts on water quality; and,
^ Plan drawings depicting storm water management strategy, including the
management of wastes and non-storm water dischazges.
The ESCP will be submitted prior to the beginning of construction activities for City
approval. The City Engineer shall review and approve the ESCP prior to the beginning
of construction. The ESOP shall be updated as required throughout construction phase
using a similaz amendment process to that for SWPPPs. The ESCP will be active on
each project until the City accepts the contract.
The Contractor shall also submit the ESCP for the construction site to ACRD for review and
approval prior to construction. The ESCP shall be developed and implemented in accordance to
ACHD's Erosion and Sediment Control Policy. The Contractor is fully responsible for the
preparation and unplementation of the ESCP. Implementation of the approved ESOP must
commence prior to the initiation of any earthwork or plan as necessary to ensure compliance. An
ACRD approved ESCP plan does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, state, or local
authorizations required by law to comply with the Clean Water Act.
Measurement for Storm Water Management shall be on a lump sum basis.
Payment for Storm Water Management shall be on a lump sum basis. Payment shall be full
compensation for all labor, equipment and materials required to prepaze, implement, and
maintain all storm water management required for this project.
