- BMPs are determined by the contractor managing SWPPP.
- NYS has a stormwater design manual written by our New York State DEC which includes standard permanent practices. We also have the Environmental Handbook for Construction Operations, also by New York State DEC, which covers standard temporary measures.

Other:
- Used in some cases of sediment discharges
- An approved listing is management by our Department of Natural Resources. I believe most are an anionic polyacrylamide, but cannot be certain.
- We have the ability to allow anionic PAM but have not had anyone use it yet.
- The DOT does not have restrictions on flocculants...flocculants used determined by contractor.
- Unsure. My understanding is that we primarily use flocculants for disposal of materials containing hazardous chemicals, such as when we demolish polymer overlays on bridge decks. We avoid permanent stormwater management practices which require the intermittent addition of chemicals, and prefer to limit permanent maintenance to vegetation management and sediment removal where possible.

- PF only prepares an SWPPP if the project is a Maintenance and Operations project that is greater than 1 acre, and does not involve a contractor.
- This is very dependent on contract type. It is a requirement from the Form 128 Clearance process in most cases. Please note that Colorado is a practice based permit for our general construction and the design of the SWMP is completed on projects prior to advertisement on design-bid-build projects and modified by the contractor per our specifications when the project is active.
- The DOT does not prepare the SWPPP. The contractor is required to complete the SWPPP in accordance with permitting requirements and must have it completed prior to the start of any earth-disturbing activities.
- Contractor prepares SWPPP before getting a permit.
- After a project is awarded.
- This is the contractor’s responsibility. Usually, they consult out SWPPP preparation.
- The design team completes SWPPP components as known in the design, and contractors prepare an implementation plan for unknown items such as schedule-related items, dewatering activities, etc.

Install and Maintain
- The cost of installation and maintenance of control measures varies by project and may be included as either separate bid price items, incidental to something else, a change order, or a percentage of the total contract bid.
- Cost is provided to the contractor through the contract.
- Contractor may pay for controls that they damaged during their work or that need to be replaced due to how they phased the project.
- There is a bid item for temporary erosion control, and the costs are included in the bidding process. The Contractor builds the costs into the bid. Additionally, erosion control is incorporated into the individual bid items.
- Contractor bids a price and is paid to install, maintain and remove the SESC item.
- Contractor is reimbursed by specific contract items. Maintenance is included with the upfront costs unless field conditions require additional control measures.
Install
- During construction, the Contractor is not reimbursed for short-term stabilization and repair (such as covering an excavation area with straw prior to rain or repairing an eroded temporary construction access road), but is paid for building the permanent practices and for most of the temporary practices (i.e., we have contract pay items for silt fence, hydroseeding, mulch, topsoil and turf establishment, etc.).
- The DOT pays the contractor by the appropriate contracting method. Design-bid-build is paid by pay item, design-build is paid lump sum.
Maintain
- Typically DOT pays for installation but maintenance is included in that installation cost.
- Maintenance is included in the cost of installation. The cost to replace depends on the reason for failure.

- Our general construction permit requires all findings to be completed as soon as possible; immediately in most cases. We track progress on our Colorado DOT form 1176 to note any corrective actions that are not completed within this permit requirement.
- 24 hours to remove the deficiency if sediment has entered into a stream, lake or wetland or left department right of way. Five days for other corrections.
- Identified deficiencies are corrected in accordance with the permitting requirements.
- Unsure - since we don’t have an electronic database to track these, it is difficult to determine.
- Deficiencies listed as low, medium, or high priority. Low must be addressed within 7 calendar days. Medium 3 days. High within 24 hours.
- Project dependent, 5–30 days
