Documentation to be required from title report, etc. • Drainage Calculations required (if not already completed) to confirm fire retention basin size. • Will east end of project at water tanks be accessed from Hedstrom Way or via internal road system? Road improvement requirements will vary depending on whether any access will be made from the east end of the property. • Prior to issuance of building permits, Public Works will require a fully executed road maintenance agreement on the County-approved form for all non-publicly maintained access roads. • Prior to issuance of improvement permits for any work in the State Route 99 ROW, applicant shall obtain an encroachment permit from Caltrans and improve the road approach as required by Caltrans improvement standards and the terms of the encroachment permit. • Prior to issuance of building permit permits, construct street frontage improvements on Hedstrom Way. Construct a ½+ 12’ street section along the parcel frontage to the proposed driveway(s) in conformance with county improvement standard NCSP-6, 3″ A Hot Mix Asphalt, 12″ Class 2 aggregate base, prime coat, fog seal and 95% relative compaction. Submit for approval a roadway structural design and improvement plans to the Land Development Division prior to construction. An “R” value determination and other data may be required to support the section design. Submit a Notice of Materials to be Used, materials test results, and mix design in compliance with 2018 Caltrans Standard Specifications, Section 39, to the department of Public Works for approval at least 14 days prior to the start of paving operations. Testing of hot mix asphalt materials shall be performed by a qualified laboratory and test results shall be signed and stamped by a licensed civil engineer. Conduct material testing during construction and submit the results to Department of Public Works to ensure compliance with Standard Specifications, approved materials, and approved mix design. • Prior to issuance of improvement permits, an engineered plan for a permanent solution for drainage shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Public Works. The drainage plans shall specify how stormwater runoff will be attenuated on site by detention facilities and/or conveyed to the nearest natural or publicly maintained drainage channel or facility and shall provide developed-condition peak flow discharge not greater than the pre-development condition for all storm events, and no increase in stormwater volume over the design storm duration to said channel or facility. Detention facilities must either discharge to receiving channel with no backwater from the channel, or attenuate full stormwater volume onsite. Backwater condition is present when detention facility, with gravity flow, has an outlet elevation at or below the approved 100-year water surface elevation of the receiving channel. If used, stormwater pumps shall have redundant pump systems, back-up power, and discharge control mechanism(s) to prevent discharge during high flow events in receiving channel. Prior to final improvement inspection, the design dimensions and volume of detention facilities shall be confirmed using topographic land survey by the engineer of record. • Prior to final improvement inspection by the Department of Public Works, all new drain inlets shall be labeled with the county approved drain marker per county standard S-40. Improvement plans shall show and/or note the requirements for labeling inlets pursuant to county standard S-40. • Prior to issuance of building permits, pay drainage impact fees per Article XI, Chapter 3 of Butte County Code. MS4 Requirements: The project is within the Butte County MS4 Stormwater Permit coverage area and as such, special drainage requirements will apply: • Construction Phase: Prior to issuing a grading, building, or improvement permit, 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. • 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. • Post Construction: Implement post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) consistent with State Water Resources Control Board Order 2013-0001-DWQ 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-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. The Department of Public Works approval of the PCSMP is precedent to improvement plan approval. Regulated Projects are defined in State Water Resources Control Board Order 2013-0001-DWQ and are generally considered as new and redevelopment projects on public or private land that fall under the planning and permitting authority of the and are within the MS4 area that create or replace greater than or equal to 5,000 square feet of impervious area, excluding: a) detached single family residences that are not part of a common plan of development; b) interior remodels; c) routine maintenance or repair; or d) a Linear Underground/Overhead Utility Projects unless the project has a discrete location of that has 5,000 square feet or more of newly constructed contiguous impervious area. • 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. • Post Construction: Stormwater Trash Treatment Control Devices BMPs: Prior to final improvement inspection, install stormwater trash treatment control devices (Devices). Devices installed shall meet Full Capture System requirements and shall be designed in accordance with the following criteria: 1. 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; 2. Do not bypass trash below the design storm under maximum operational loading conditions; and 3. 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.
