for each)?

3. Is the perimeter silt fence shown? Silt fence and/or rock checks should also be placed along swales or slopes greater
than 50 feet in length (are ends of silt fence up slope).
4. Is the type of each storm sewer inlet protection and location graphically shown?
5. Are temporary sediment basins shown?
6. Does the plan provide temporary measures to stabilize the soils no later than 14 days after the construction activity in
that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased, and no later than seven days after construction activity
in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased when discharge points on the project are within one
mile of a special or impaired water and ows to that special or impaired water? Options for temporary or permanent
stabilization may include erosion control mat, ber blankets, netting, temporary seed, or temporary mulch.

8. Is street sweeping required?
9. Does the plan include a note indicating that all adjacent streets will be swept daily, or as directed by the City, to
remove all accumulated materials? Failure to perform any street sweeping within 24 hours of notice by the City
will result in the work being performed by the City and all associated costs billed. The City also requires removal of
accumulated materials on streets during winter.
10. Does the SWPPP include an erosion and sediment control inspection schedule along with a person responsible for
conducting inspections and ensuring maintenance is being performed?
