Stormwater Quality Management:
22- Construction Phase: Prior to approval of improvement plans, submit an erosion and sediment control
plan (ESCP) to Public Works department for approval. ESCP shall contain site-specific construction
site Best Management Practices (BMPs). BMPs included in the ESCP must be in accordance with
Section 50-19 of County Code, and/or consistent with the California Stormwater Quality Association
BMPs. Revisions to an approved ESCP must be resubmitted for Department of Public Works
approval prior to commencing with site work. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
developed pursuant to the construction stormwater general permit (CGP) may be submitted in lieu of
the ESCP. Add a note on a map sheet that states: “Development activities resulting in soil
disturbance shall submit an erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) to the Department of Public
Works for approval. ESCP shall contain appropriate site-specific construction site BMPs.”
23- Construction Phase: Coverage under the stormwater Construction General Permit (CGP) will be
required by the State Water Resources Control Board if development activities result in ground
disturbance, including clearing, excavation, filling, and grading of one or more acres or disturb less
than one acre but are part of a larger common plan or development. Coverage under this General
Permit must be obtained from the State Water Resources Control Board prior to starting
construction. If coverage under the CGP is required, engineering plans shall show the Waste
Discharge Identification (WDID) number on the title sheet of the plans and a copy of Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be provided to the Land Development Division of the
Public Works Department. Submit with improvement or grading plans the estimated areas to be
disturbed to the Department of Public Works for consistency with the SWPPP.
24- Post Construction: Implement post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) consistent with
State Water Resources Control Board Order 2013-0001-DWQ and City of Chico Post Construction
Standard Plans to control the volume, rate, and potential pollutant load of stormwater runoff,
including, but not limited to, requirements to minimize the generation, transport and discharge of
pollutants. Develop and submit a Post Construction Stormwater Management Plan (PCSMP) that
identifies BMP stormwater treatment system(s) designed to reduce or eliminate stormwater pollutant
discharges through the construction, operation and maintenance of source control measures, low
impact development design, site design measures, stormwater treatment system(s) and/or
hydromodification measures. Design and sizing requirements shall comply with the Post-
Page 4 of 4
Construction Stormwater Management Program (section E.12) requirements of State Water
Resources Control Board Order 2013-0001-DWQ. Hydromodification measures are required for
Regulated Projects that create and/or replace one acre or more of impervious surface. Regulated
projects are defined in State Water Resources Control Board Order 2013-0001-DWQ. The
Department of Public Works approval of the PCSMP is precedent to improvement plan approval.
25- Post Construction: Prior to improvement plan approval, Regulated Projects shall submit a
Stormwater Facilities Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan that identifies the operations,
maintenance, and inspection requirements of all stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)
treatment system(s) and hydromodification measures identified in the approved PCSMP. All public
and private stormwater treatment system(s) and hydromodification measures shall be protected,
inspected, and maintained to ensure continuous and fully effective performance as designed. A
maintenance and inspection schedule for both dry and wet season BMPs shall be in writing, and a
record shall be kept that includes the dates of inspection or maintenance, whether BMPs were
inspected or maintained, a description of any maintenance activity, and the name of the inspector or
maintenance foreman.
26- Post Construction: Stormwater Trash Treatment Control Devices BMPs:
Prior to final improvement inspection, Install stormwater trash treatment control devices
(Devices) if stormwater runoff is discharged to a natural drainage channel. Devices installed
shall meet Full Capture System requirements and shall be designed in accordance with the
following criteria:
a. Appropriately sized to treat not less than the peak flowrate resulting from a 1-year, 1-hour
storm event (design storm) or at least the same peak flows from the corresponding storm
drain;
b. Do not bypass trash below the design storm under maximum operational loading conditions;
and
c. Trap all particles that are 5 mm or greater up to the design flow or at least the same peak
flows from the corresponding storm drain; and do not have a diversion structure present
upstream such that a portion of the peak flow is not treated to trap all particles 5 mm or
greater.
Location(s) and specifications of Devices selected shall be shown on improvement plans.
Devices shall be certified by the State Water Resources Control Board prior to installation. Prior
to installation of any certified Devices, the local mosquito vector control district should be
contacted to ensure the installation conforms to the District’s visual inspection, treatment, and
vector breeding minimizing guidelines.
Devices shall be protected, inspected, and maintained owners or operators of facilities to ensure
continuous and fully effective performance as designed.

Mr. Tristan Weems
Associate Planner Butte County
7 County Center Drive
Oroville, California 95965
Dear Mr. Weems:
Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the review process for the project referenced above. We reviewed this local development
for impacts to the State Highway System (SHS) in keeping with our mission, vision, and
goals, some of which includes addressing equity, climate change, and safety, as outlined in our statewide plans such as the California Transportation Plan, Caltrans
Strategic Plan, and Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure.
The application for site plan review is to demolish an existing onsite vacant house,
garage, and barn. A 9,600 square feet new steel building is to be constructed on site
along State Route (SR) 32. The following comments are based the application
package received.
Highway Operations
This parcel is within the limits of Caltrans' Project 03-4H760, and construction will start
the Spring of 2024. Caltrans’ proposed improvements at this location include curb ramps at the corners and sidewalk along SR 32 (Nord Avenue) adjacent to this parcel.
There are no planned improvements on N. Lindo Road.
Full access from N. Lindo Road should be at least 500 feet from the intersection so it
does not interfere with the operations of the traffic signal. If this is not feasible, access
should be as close to the southerly property line as possible. Any additional access near the N. Lindo Road/ SR 32 intersection should not be closer than 200 feet from the
curb return and it should be restricted to right in, right out only.
This site plan should include pedestrian facilities along the frontage of their site on N. Lindo Road. Please provide the number of anticipated vehicle trips generated from
this business.
