Rainfall event inspection 12 - 3 PM continued from AM inspection. Raining most of the day with runoff continuing to flow onsite and on surrounding streets
- inspected upper area, no berm blowouts or perimeter breaches observed
- Source of muddy runoff the road mix prepped for paving and that the storm drain pipe down Vortex is not complete.
- Sand bags installed to minimize muddy water leaving at Trent Point have reduced flow offsite.
- Syman onsite inspecting and taking turbidity samples which are entered in SWPPP
Turbidity testing @ 1:30 PM
Background stormwater turbidity going into pond:
- inlet pipe to pond 206 NTU
- gutter at Ridgepoint and Stone Ridge 102 NTU
Outfall and stream at bottom of site:
- In pipe from pond 157 NTU
- in pipe from lower Mesa streets 29 NTU
....
turbidity and flow suddenly increased during testing. Rip-rap splashing water onto the unstabilized dirt around outlet pipes and eroding soil. Sample at bottom of rip rap 552 NTU
Discovered source of surge of muddy water was the ball valve in outlet pipe from detention dam failed. Muddy water that had been detained onsite discharged. RP Steve and L2 crew were able to cap the outlet pipe in the pond to stop discharge. Pond was uncapped for approx. 2 hours
Turbidity samples at bottom of hill on channels leading towards river:
2:25 PM ACHD stormwater channel 87.4 NTU
2:30 PM outfall to wetland river channel 74.3 NTU
2:35 PM in stream just above Warm Springs Road 796 NTU
Correction requests:
- park asphalt mixer within site, not on street entrance. Water pooling in asphalt bin and leaking out, slight sheen observed
- clean up spill/sheen near asphalt machine (could be from Suez/Granite job as well)
- inspect site tomorrow for issues and turbidity testing
- need to stabilze/cover the dam face within 10 ft radius around the two outfall pipes to prevent splash back from rip rap and erosion in this area
- clean up any loose dirt on Ridgepoint around storm drain to pond
- file corrective action report in SWPPP
- once stream no longer has flow, need to inspect and clean up mud accumulations

Rainfall inspection. 9:45 AM- 12 PM.
Approximately 0.6-1.0" rain received on site within previous 24 hours. Muddy stormwater discharging at bottom of site
turbidity sampling @ 10 - 10:30 AM
Background stormwater turbidity going into pond:
- inlet pipe to pond 199 NTU
- gutter at Ridgepoint and Stone Ridge 102 NTU
Outfall and stream at bottom of site:
- In pipe from pond 661 NTU
- downstream 30 ft from end of riprap 642 NTU
- downstream before culvert to flume 696 NTU
* increase in turbidity attributed to mud and dirty stormwater already in pond due to issues on the separate water pipe replacement project runoff (permitted through ACHD)
Observed muddy runoff leaving main site entrance at Trent Point which does contribute to the runoff that flows into the Ridgepoint/Vortex pond (tested @ 646 NTU in gutter)
Significant flow of muddy water from the upper section of site flowing down the uncompleted Vortex Road and is being retained onsite in the resevoir/pond to prevent discharge of this muddy water offsite without settling/treatment. Pond appeared to be holding water and filling during the AM inspection.
Correction requests:
Prevent dirty water from running offsite at Trent Point entrance. Install sand bags and gravel bags to prevent water from running offsite and down gutter at and instead into the new DIs that keep water onsite. (task completed during inspection)
- more correction requests pending post rainfall. Still raining.
Reviewed SWPPP:
- Revisions made to SWPPP satisfy Boise ESC correction requests related to SWPPP.
- turbidity log is being kept in appendix L. Turbidity testing must occur during all rainfall event inspection.
Note: Inquiry on official WOTUS status of receiving surface water at bottom of site sent to IDEQ and EPA on Monday 5/18, waiting for response.
