Illinois Form Bde 2342 PDF Details

Understanding how infrastructure projects impact the environment, particularly water quality during construction, is crucial. This concern is addressed by the Illinois BDE 2342 form, a comprehensive document designed in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. ILR10. Administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), this permit regulates storm water discharges from construction sites, ensuring that contractors adopt measures to prevent pollution. The form serves as a declaration by the person in charge that the information provided is accurate and complete under the threat of legal penalties for misinformation. It covers multiple aspects of construction projects, such as site description, the duration of the project, soil disturbances, and details of potentially erosive areas, alongside a thorough outline of the pollution control measures planned. This includes erosion and sediment controls, stabilization practices during and post-construction, and permanent storm water management control systems. By requiring detailed information on soils, runoff coefficients, and the presence of sensitive environments, the form obligates contractors to assess and minimize their environmental footprint conscientiously. Furthermore, the document mandates the identification of pollutants likely to be encountered during construction, driving the imperative for meticulous planning in pollution prevention measures and compliance with applicable state or local laws.

This section of the plan addresses the controls that will be implemented for each of the major construction activities described in I.C. above and for all use areas, borrow sites, and waste sites. For each measure discussed, the Contractor will be responsible for its implementation as indicated. The Contractor shall provide to the ResidentEngineer a plan for the implementation of the measures indicated. The Contractor, and subcontractors, will notify the ResidentEngineer of any proposed changes, maintenance, or modifications to keep construction activities compliant with the Permit ILR10. Each such Contractor has signed the required certification on forms which are attached to, and are a part of, this plan:

A.Erosion and Sediment Controls: At a minimum, controls must be coordinated, installed and maintained to:

1.Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity;

2.Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes;

3.Maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct storm water to vegetated areas to increase sediment removal and maximize storm water infiltration, unless infeasible;

4.Minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil.

B.Stabilization Practices: Provided below is a description of interim and permanent stabilization practices, including site- specific scheduling of the implementation of the practices. Site plans will ensure that existing vegetation is preserved where attainable and disturbed portions of the site will be stabilized. Stabilization practices may include but are not limited to: temporary seeding, permanent seeding, mulching, geotextiles, sodding, vegetative buffer strips, protection of trees, preservation of mature vegetation, and other appropriate measures. Except as provided below in II(B)(1) and II(B)(2), stabilization measures shall be initiated immediately where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than one (1) day after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceases on all disturbed portions of the site where construction will not occur for a period of fourteen (14) or more calendar days.

1.Where the initiation of stabilization measures is precluded by snow cover, stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable.

2.On areas where construction activity has temporarily ceased and will resume after fourteen (14) days, a temporary stabilization method can be used.

The following stabilization practices will be used for this project:

Preservation of Mature Vegetation

Erosion Control Blanket / Mulching

Vegetated Buffer Strips

Sodding

Protection of Trees

Geotextiles

Temporary Erosion Control Seeding

C.Structural Practices: Provided below is a description of structural practices that will be implemented, to the degree attainable, to divert flows from exposed soils, store flows or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site. Such practices may include but are not limited to: perimeter erosion barrier, earth dikes, drainage swales, sediment traps, ditch checks, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, level spreaders, storm drain inlet protection, rock outlet protection, reinforced soil retaining systems, gabions, and temporary or permanent sediment basins. The installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

E.Permanent Storm Water Management Controls: Provided below is a description of measures that will be installed during the construction process to control volume and pollutants in storm water discharges that will occur after construction operations have been completed. The installation of these devices may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

1.Such practices may include but are not limited to: storm water detention structures (including wet ponds), storm water retention structures, flow attenuation by use of open vegetated swales and natural depressions, infiltration of runoff on site, and sequential systems (which combine several practices).

The practices selected for implementation were determined on the basis of the technical guidance in Chapter 41 (Construction Site Storm Water Pollution Control) of the IDOT Bureau of Design and Environment Manual. If practices other than those discussed in Chapter 41 are selected for implementation or if practices are applied to situations different from those covered in Chapter 41, the technical basis for such decisions will be explained below.

2.Velocity dissipation devices will be placed at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel as necessary to provide a non-erosive velocity flow from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and protected (e.g. maintenance of hydrologic conditions such as the hydroperiod and hydrodynamics present prior to the initiation of construction activities).

Description of permanent storm water management controls:

F.Approved State or Local Laws:The management practices, controls and provisions contained in this plan will be in accordance with IDOT specifications, which are at least as protective as the requirements contained in the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Illinois Urban Manual. Procedures and requirements specified in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or storm water management plans approved by local officials shall be described or incorporated by reference in the space provided below. Requirements specified in sediment and erosion site plans, site permits, storm water management siteplans or site permits approved by local officials that are applicable to protecting surface water resources are, upon submittal of an NOI, to be authorized to discharge under the Permit ILR10 incorporated by reference and are enforceable under this permit even if they are not specifically included in the plan.

Description of procedures and requirements specified in applicable sediment and erosion site plans or storm water management plans approved by local officials:

G.Contractor Required Submittals: Prior to conducting any professional services at the site covered by this plan, the Contractor and each subcontractor responsible for compliance with the permit shall submit to the Resident Engineer a Contractor Certification Statement, BDE 2342a.
