ESC13-00193 Random Inspection11/6/201411/6/201411/6/2014 7:31:19 PMPPART
Upper phase of Somerset Village 3 withheld most of the weekends storm fairly well. Lower slope stabilization, perimeter silt fence, and slope drain rip rap worked to manage the runoff, prevent significant erosion and contain sediment. There is one area on the uphill side of the culdesac where water did not go down diversion channel and went under retaining wall creating a rill of erosion on one of the parcels. Silt and sand was trapped behind wattle but some did flow into the DI bag on upside of culdesac.

Corrections:
1. Empty out DI bag
2. Fill in hole where water entered to seep under retaining wall.
3. Muck out/shovel sediment/mud accumulated behind wattles.
4. Consider hydroseeding or installing a wattle up above the diversion channel on top of retaining wall.

ESC14-00933 Tracking Control11/6/201411/6/201411/6/2014 4:19:57 PMPPART
Trackout caused by skidster used by Wood Bros. crew.

Called RP Luke and left VM to make sure they swept it up as the wind was blowing the loose sediment on road to surrounding homes.

No other violations at site.
ESC14-00212 BMP Violation11/6/201411/6/201411/6/2014 4:13:52 PMPFAIL
Returned to site to check status of discharge two more times after the morning. Dewatering hose was diverted to a well to prevent having to discharge into the settling pond and creek (discharge offsite) when I returned to site at 10:30 AM. The remaining water in from settling pond was continuing to drain and some sediment could be visibly seen but relatively clear. No turbidity measurement was taken.

While at site I advised Jose to begin documentation for the corrective actions taken the day before. I also refered him to report the issue to regional IDEQ surface water manager Lance Halloway. Dewatering was to continue with close monitoring.

Upon returning via Ann Morrison at 3:15 PM I observed that the creek downstream from site was again turbid up to the tennis courts and first pond.

At site two hoses were discharging into the settling pond and the water at the discharge point did appear turbid, though improved from previous day's issues. I requested that one hose be directed into a the pipe diversion set up earlier and a dissipator placed on the other still in pond. This did improve the quality of the discharge but the flow volume downstream at the discharge out of the culvert under hotel's parking was strong enough to churn up more sediment.

McAlvain was planning to shut off hoses at end of day, but I called at 4:00 PM and requested that they turn off the pumps until we can engineer or provide a way to discharge water within the WQS for TSS.

ESC14-00212 BMP Violation11/6/201411/6/201411/6/2014 9:37:40 AMAPEND
Returned to Lusk Place at 8:00 AM to check on dewatering situation.

At 4:45 PM yesterday all pumping was stopped and water allowed to settle. After 6 PM on pump was turned back on with proper dissipation and settling controls.

Upon arrival I observed the discharge and it appeared visibly clear with a few particles suspended that you could see in sampling jar.

Upon further assessment, it was decided it would be best to bypass the settling pond to avoid disturbing the settled pond silts with the additional pumped water (needed for the utility work) with a pipe straight to the culvert behind the Anniversary Inn.

Downstream in the creek in Ann Morrison the water was flowing clear, with the turbid water from yester collected at the inlet into the duck pond. Water exiting the duck pond outlet did not appear effected by the discharge.

Will return to site to check discharge and advise RP to complete a Corrective Action Report to file in the site's SWPPP.
