(1) Sediment and erosion control measures to manage sediment and erosion including vegetative practices, structural control, silt fences, straw dikes, sediment controls or operator controls as appropriate.
Storm water management measures shall be instituted as required, including velocity dissipaters, and solid waste controls shall address controls for building materials and offsite tracking of sediment. (2) Wastewater and storm water management controls to divert offsite surface flows around the Project site and to divert surface flows within the Project area away from areas of open earth or stockpiles of building and other materials. Wastewater from general construction activities, such as drain water collection, aggregate processing, concrete batching, drilling, grouting, or other construction operations, shall not enter flowing or dry watercourses without having met the authorized non-storm water discharge requirements listed in State Board Water Quality Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ, Section III.C., including proper notification to the Regional Water Board.

(d) City retains the right to procure and maintain coverage under the Permit for the Project site if the Contractor fails to draft a SWPPP or other Permit related document, or fails to proceed in a manner that is satisfactory to City. City reserves the right to implement its own SWPPP at the Project site, and hire additional contractors to maintain compliance. Whether Contractor has adequately maintained compliance with the Permit shall be City’s sole determination. In the event that Contractor has failed or is unable to maintain compliance with the Permit, any costs or fines incurred by City in implementing a SWPPP, or otherwise maintaining compliance with the Construction General Permit shall be paid by the Contractor. (e) Failure to implement the SWPPP or otherwise comply with the Permit is a violation of federal and state law. Contractor hereby agrees to indemnify City as required by the Contract Documents for any noncompliance or alleged noncompliance with the Permit arising out of or in connection with the Project, except for liability resulting from the sole established negligence, willful misconduct or active negligence of City. City may seek damages from Contractor for delay in completing the Contract in accordance with the Contract Documents, caused by Contractor’s failure to comply with the Permit.
5. In addition to compliance with the Permit, Contractor shall comply with the lawful requirements of any applicable municipality, district, drainage district, flood control district, and other local agencies regarding discharges of storm water, surface water, groundwater or other nuisance waters off of the Project site.
