The Chesapeake Stormwater Network is pleased to announce the release of the first video in our three part instructional video series on Low Impact Development construction, installation and maintenance:

 A Guide to Proper Construction Techniques for contractors, local governments and involved homeowners.

    This video exhibits sound construction practices and the importance of following proper construction sequence to ensure that the LID practice functions as designed. Specific procedures and issues covered in this video are relevant to a number of common LID practices including bioretention, dry swales, surface sand filters and vegetated swales.
    The target audiences for this construction video are individuals looking for information on how to properly install a BMP. In particular this video is tailored to landscape contractors and others who may be interested in expanding their business model to include LID projects.  We will be offering this video in both English and Spanish and you can expect to see the Spanish version later this year.  Please feel free to share this video with your colleagues or anyone else who may benefit from viewing this 15-minute video. 
    These videos were produced by the Center for Watershed Protection in cooperation with the Chesapeake Stormwater Network with funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and additional support from Walmart and the Keith Campbell Foundation.
    This video series is part of a larger effort that CSN is working on to develop new training resources on LID Construction, Installation and Maintenance. To find out more information about these resources, please visit our website here. Stay tuned for the next video in our instructional video series…Inspection!

TDEC Construction General Permit EPSC Inspections

Good Morning,

If a project is required to have a TDEC Construction General Permit (any project disturbing more than one acre or a construction site that is part of a permitted project) the developer is required to perform routine Erosion Control and Sediment Prevention (EPSC) inspections.

TDEC is now requiring all EPSC inspections to be documented using the attached form.

County stormwater inspections do not include checking to see if the TDEC required paperwork is up to date because it is not something we regulate.  If the TDEC inspector checks your site and the required paperwork is not as it should be, you will get a Notice of Violation and you may get a fine.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to discuss the requirements with you.  If enough people contact me, I will try to arrange a short presentation at the next HBA meeting.

I will also post the forms on the stormwater website: http://www.mcgtn.org/stormwater

Respectfully,

John H. Doss

FYI,
You may already have this update but I just got this hot from TDEC… please feel free to distribute among our clients.

We will be watching for these beginning right away. It will not be a ‘non-compliance’ immediately but we should be seeing this at every permit site by Thanksgiving.

Please make a point of having the new forms available for your staff people and help us get the word out.

Howdy Everyone!
 FYI: We recently made a few improvements to the Twice Weekly CGP Inspection form and I've attached it for you. It has been uploaded to our website.  :-)
Hope you're enjoying a great week!
