1.04 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
A.Comply with all requirements of NCT-COG Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction, Section 202. for erosion and sedimentation control.
B.The Contractor is responsibile for filing any "Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan" (SWP3),
"Notice of Intent" (NOI) and/or Notice of Termination (NOT) that are required by the City of
Denton and TCEQ.
1.SW3P and NOI shall comply with the City of Denton Watershed Protection requirements,
TCEQ requirements, and EPA regulations, and shall pay the filing fees associated with the
regulations. Fees associated with these regulations are subsidiary to the overall contract.
2.NOI must be postmarked two days before construction begins.
3.It is the contractor's responsibility to file and provide the owner a copy of the NOT at the
completion of the project.
C.Do not begin clearing, grading, or other work involving disturbance of ground surface cover until
applicable permits have been obtained; furnish all documentation required to obtain applicable
permits.
D.Timing: Put preventive measures in place as soon as possible after disturbance of surface
cover and before precipitation occurs.
E.Storm Water Runoff: Control increased storm water runoff due to disturbance of surface cover
due to construction activities for this project.
1.Prevent runoff into storm and sanitary sewer systems, including open drainage channels,
in excess of actual capacity or amount allowed by authorities having jurisdiction, whichever
is less.
2.Anticipate runoff volume due to the most extreme short term and 24-hour rainfall events
that might occur in 25 years.

01 5713 - 2 TEMPORARY EROSION AND
SEDIMENT CONTROL
F.Erosion On Site: Minimize wind, water, and vehicular erosion of soil on project site due to
construction activities for this project.
1.Control movement of sediment and soil from temporary stockpiles of soil.
2.Prevent development of ruts due to equipment and vehicular traffic.
3.If erosion occurs due to non-compliance with these requirements, restore eroded areas at
no cost to Owner.
G.Erosion Off Site: Prevent erosion of soil and deposition of sediment on other properties caused
by water leaving the project site due to construction activities for this project.
1.Prevent windblown soil from leaving the project site.
2.Prevent tracking of mud onto public roads outside site.
3.Prevent mud and sediment from flowing onto sidewalks and pavements.
4.If erosion occurs due to non-compliance with these requirements, restore eroded areas at
no cost to Owner.
H.Sedimentation of Waterways On Site: Prevent sedimentation of waterways on the project site,
including rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, open drainage ways, storm sewers, and sanitary
sewers.
1.If sedimentation occurs, install or correct preventive measures immediately at no cost to
Owner; remove deposited sediments; comply with requirements of authorities having
jurisdiction.
2.If sediment basins are used as temporary preventive measures, pump dry and remove
deposited sediment after each storm.
I.Sedimentation of Waterways Off Site: Prevent sedimentation of waterways off the project site,
including rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, open drainage ways, storm sewers, and sanitary
sewers.
1.If sedimentation occurs, install or correct preventive measures immediately at no cost to
Owner; remove deposited sediments; comply with requirements of authorities having
jurisdiction.
J.Open Water: Prevent standing water that could become stagnant.
K.Maintenance: Maintain temporary preventive measures until permanent measures have been
established.
1.05 SUBMITTALS
A.See Section 01 3000 - Administrative Requirements, for submittal procedures.
B.Provide Owner and Engineer with copies of SW3P, NOI, and NOT as described above.
