''Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at 3:35:43 PM (GMT+07:00) Goldstein, Meyer:'' Stormwater construction 2005 Adm. Order No.: DEQ 11-2005 Filed with Sec. of State: 12-28-2005 Certified to be Effective: 12-28-05 Notice Publication Date: 9-1-05 Rules Amended: 340-045-0033 Subject: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is proposing to renew the 1200-C National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit for water quality which expires on December 31, 2005. This general permit controls pollution from stormwater runoff from land disturbance and construction activities on one or more acres in Oregon. • Currently, about 1,400 construction projects are covered under this permit. The Department uses a general permit with standard conditions to regulate construction because it is more efficient and less expensive for both the Department and the builder when compared to requiring individual permits for each project. • The amended permit requires a 14-day public notice and comment period on applications and erosion and sediment control plans for construction sites disturbing five or more acres of land. DEQ will administer this public notice process. • For those construction activities that affect streams listed as “water quality impaired” for sedimentation or turbidity under the federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d), or streams for which the Department has developed a Total Maximum Daily Load for sedimentation or turbidity, the permit registrant must either: - Option 1: Monitor stormwater run-off (using a turbidity meter) for turbidity and meet a numeric turbidity benchmark, or - Option 2: Install additional Best Management Practices designed to treat sediment and turbidity in stormwater.
