Part II.B. degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of best practicable technology currently available. 1. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements - The owner or operator must select, design, install, implement, and maintain control measures to minimize the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. The selection, design, installation, implementation, and maintenance of these control measures must meet the non-numeric effluent limitations in Part II.B.1.a., b., c., d., and e. and be in accordance with the New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control (BB), dated November 2016, using sound engineering judgment. Where control measures are not designed in conformance with the design criteria included in the technical standard, the owner or operator must include in SWPPP the reason(s) for the deviation, or alternative design, and provide information in the SWPPP demonstrating that the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard. a. Erosion and Sediment Controls. At a minimum, erosion and sediment controls must be selected, designed, installed, implemented, and maintained to: i. Minimize soil erosion through application of runoff control and soil stabilization control measure to minimize pollutant discharges; and ii. Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow rates and total stormwater volume, to minimize channel and streambank erosion and scour in the immediate vicinity of the discharge points; and iii. Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity; and iv. Minimize the disturbance of steep slope; and v. Minimize sediment discharges from the site; and vi. Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to vegetated areas and maximize stormwater infiltration to reduce pollutant discharges, unless infeasible; and vii. Minimize soil compaction. Minimizing soil compaction is not required 21 Page 727 of 849
