They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil 5 Custom Soil Resource Report scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and 6 Custom Soil Resource Report identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 7 Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. 11 Custom Soil Resource Report The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 12 Custom Soil Resource Report Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part 1—Altvan loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes Map Unit Setting National map unit symbol: 361j Elevation: 4,500 to 4,900 feet Mean annual precipitation: 14 to 16 inches Mean annual air temperature: 46 to 48 degrees F Frost -free period: 130 to 150 days Farmland classification: Not prime farmland Map Unit Composition Altvan and similar soils: 90 percent Minor components: 10 percent Estimates are based on observations, descriptions, and transects of the mapunit.

Name of Site: Front Range Feedlot Borrow 2 Date: March 6, 2018 EXHIBIT C — Mining plan (a) Commencement and Duration of Borrow Operation The borrow operation is for a single specific project. The borrow area is currently permitted under M-2017-053, the attached application is a continuation of this property; Operations would begin on March 19 2018 and would be complete by May 31, 2018. This time window includes the following phases: 1. Topsoil salvaging and haul road construction; 2. Excavation and hauling of the borrow materials, 3. Excavation from the existing road brought back into the borrow hole 4. Closing of the borrow — final grading of the slopes, topsoil placement, and completion of the reclamation plan. (b) Topsoil replacement depth. The existing topsoil conditions in the area show an average of 4 inches. This topsoil will be stockpiled and respreads at the end at the depth or thicker. (c) Overburden The borrow materials do not have any overlying overburden or waste materials. (d) Thickness of deposit to be mined A twelve foot thickness of borrow material will be removed. (e) Major Components of the mining operation. Page 1 of 4 Exhibit C The haul road through the permitted site and the area of borrow excavation are the only components of the mining operation. Once the topsoil has been salvaged and the haul road constructed, excavation/hauling operations will begin. The borrow material will be excavated using large backhoes/loaders and placed directly into truck - trailer hauling units for transporting to the job site on WCR 47 roughly 2 miles from the borrow site. Excavation of the borrow materials will proceed in an east to west direction. The side slopes of the final excavation are to be at a maximum gradient of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical). As the borrow material is being removed, the excavation in the area of the final slopes will be done at this 3:1 gradient. Ames Construction will use the existing onsite access road From CR 66. (f) Dimensions of land disturbance. The area of land disturbance is in a rectangular configuration. The width of the rectangle is approximately 511' on the North End, 793' on the West End, 707' on the South End and 747' on the East End. (g) Haul road dimensions. A small haul road will be built for within the mining area to access the existing 24' wide 2,600' in length from WCR 66. If necessary, a motor grader will be used to maintain access of the existing road, suitable road base material will also be installed to maintain site access. If dust control is needed, Ames will utilize their water truck using water from the WAGISTICS water depot on CR 60.5 (h) Water use. The only water to be used in conjunction with the borrow site operation, will be water applied to the on -site roads for dust control. Approximately 1,000 gallons of water per day will be used for dust Page 2 of 4 Exhibit C control. The source of this supply will be the same as the project's water source along Weld County Road 47 (i) Groundwater/surface water occurrence or disturbance. Ground water should not be encountered during this operation. If ground water is found the excavation will move away from the water. Ground water will not be pumped or moved from the site. Contamination of surface stormwater runoff will be controlled by diverting the runoff around the disturbed areas. This will be accomplished by perimeter berms of compacted soil around the excavation area. (j) Existing water rights Water rights will not be affected or impacted by the proposed borrow operation. (k) Refuse and acid or toxic producing materials. There are no known refuse, acid or toxic producing materials in the area of the proposed borrow. If they are encountered, borrow operations will cease and the materials will be contained in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. (1) Measures to minimize disturbance to hydrologic balance, off -site damage and provide for a reclaimed area that has a stable configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. Hydrologic balance - The proposed borrow operation impacts on the hydrologic balance will be minimal — groundwater should not be encountered (therefore, no dewatering).The reclaimed site will have a pervious cover of corn stalk and straw mulch which will not impact the pervious nature of the underlying sandy soils. Off -site damage — The boundaries of the excavation area and haul road will be clearly marked to prevent off -site damage during the borrow activities. Through the use of perimeter berms to prevent Page 3 of 4 Exhibit C stormwater from running through the disturbed areas, off -site damage due to contaminated stormwater runoff will be prevented. By conducting the borrow operations during the low precipitation months and in view of the sandy nature of the soils and gentle slope of the land, increased runoff flows are not anticipated. Completion of the reclamation plan for the site will remove the potential for future off - site damage. Stable configuration — The borrow area's slopes will be finished to a maximum 3:1 slope. This slope gradient, the features of the reclamation plan and the natural properties of the site's soils will result in a stable configuration of the reclaimed site that be suitable for the intended future use — rangeland. (m) On -site processing. There will be no on -site processing of the borrow materials. (n) Commodities to be extracted and their use The only commodity to be extracted at this site is the sandy soil. The material will be used for fill purposes on a county highway improvement project along Weld County Road 47. (o) No incidental products will be mined at the borrow site. (p) No explosives will be used in the operations at the borrow site. (q) Existing Utilities- If needed, Ames Construction and the Landowner will work with the companies with utilities on site to relocate them if needed. Gas lines will be given an additional 10' of easements on either side. If there is no easements, an easement buffer will be 25' on either side of the utilities as a safety precaution. Active gas wells on the site will be given a 200' radius; abandoned wells will be located and given a 50' radius from any active work operations. Page 4 of 4 Exhibit D Applicant: Ames Construction, Inc. Name of Site: Front Range Feedlot Borrow 2 Date: March 6, 2018 EXHIBIT D — Reclamation Plan & Noxious Weed Management Plan At the conclusion of the excavation activities, the site will be reclaimed by grading the excavation slopes to a final gradient and the excavation bottom to a uniform level. The vegetative growth support material, temporarily stored in the perimeter berms, will be placed on the excavation slopes and bottom. The constructed access road will be removed and its' disturbed area included in the reclamation activities — unless the property owner requests it be left for his future use. A detailed description of the Reclamation Plan is as follows: (1) (a) Overburden replacement There is no overburden to salvage and/or replace at this operation. (b) Reclaimed slope gradient The reclaimed slopes will be constructed to a 3:1 gradient. (c) Revegetation measures to reclaim the site. Ames will be utilizing Arnolds Agg to seed and we will have them follow the reclamation plans that will be utilized on the Weld County Road 49 Project. Prior to the placement and incorporation of the soil amendments, the perimeter berm will be removed and the berm material (vegetative support materials) will be spread over the borrow slopes, bottom and site roadway The revegetation measures would be performed in Fall of 2018 (d) The landowner has requested that the area in which material has be removed serve as a permeate aquifer recharging pond. Page 1 of 3 Exhibit D (e) All features have been previously addressed in the Reclamation Plan. (2) Cost estimate to reclaim the site. The point of maximum disturbance to site will be when the excavation activities are finished. Due to the configuration of the borrow, reclamation activities would not begin until that time. Since the excavation slopes were left at a 3:1 gradient during the borrow removal process, the remaining reclamation work would consist of removing the perimeter berms and placing the topsoil materials over the disturbed areas followed by the application of the recommended soil amendments, seed and mulch. Ames will only be seeding the slopes of the new pond to eliminate erosion of the bank of the pond, the breakdown is below. 1. Placement of salvaged topsoil: Quantity = 7,314 cubic yards Equipment: Self -loading scraper (similar to CAT 623) Dozer (similar to CAT D6) Labor: 2 equipment operators and V2 time foreman Production rate: 130 cubic yards per hour Hours required to complete = 2,314/150 = 48 hours Equipment costs per hour = $ 240.00 Labor costs per hour = $ 150.00 Total per hour = $ 390.00 Equipment and Labor Total = 48 hours x $ 390 = $ 18,720 Page 2 of 3 Exhibit D Mobilization: 2 pieces in and out = $ 0.00 (Ames onsite for county road project already. TOTAL for this item = $ 18,720 or $ 2.35/cubic yard. (No markup) 2. Seedbed preparation, application of soil amendments, seed and mulch. For the slopes The cost of performing these items, based on a quote from Arnold's Ag Group LLC is: Straw mulch Tackifier Seed : Total = $ 500/acre $ 1100/acre $ 375/acre $ 1,975/acre TOTAL for this item = 9 acres x $ 1,975/acre = $17,775 Total Cost to reclaim site = $ 17,775+ $ 18,720= $36,495. (3) Straw Mulch crimping method will be with a tractor disc with non - cutting blades so it will not cut the straw mulch. Application rate will be 2 TON (4000#) / ACRE. (4) Soil Amendments - In speaking with Arnold's Ag Group, they believe that the ground at this site will grow without amendments, but if the need arises, they recommend 500#/ACRE of Richlawn 723 Fertilizer.

Permit for Stormwater Discharge Associated With Construction Activities from Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment — Water Quality Division. 2. Weld County — The Weld County Planning Department has determined. that due to the short (less than six months), one time use of the borrow site, the standard Development Application process is inappropriate. Instead, subsequent to Ames Construction's application to Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for a Special Operations 111 Permit for the site, they will issue an `Agreement' for the use of the site. This Agreement would stipulate that the site is to be operational for less than six months and that the conditions and requirements of the 111 Permit be followed. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY STATE OF COLORADO GENERAL PERMIT APPLICATION FRONT RANGE FEEDLOT BORROW 2 WELD COUNTY, COLORADO March 6, 2018 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN NORTON'S BORROW WELD COUNTY, COLORADO PART I -SITE DESCRIPTION This plan describes the stormwater management activities planned during the opening, operation and closing of a construction materials borrow site located at 31 834 County Road 34, Weld County, Colorado. Specifically, the borrow site consists of 12 acres located in the Section 27, Township 6 North, Range 65 west of the sixth principal meridian, Weld County, Colorado. A. Description of Construction Activities Operations at this site will require salvaging of topsoil materials and creation of a perimeter berm, construction of a haul road, excavation and loading of borrow materials into transporting units for delivery to an off -site project, and upon completion of the excavation — final grading of the excavation slopes, replacement of the salvaged topsoil on the disturbed areas, application of corn stalk mulch, fertilizer, seeding mixture and straw mulch. The construction activities at the Front Range Feedlot Borrow 2 are a one-time occurrence. They will begin March, 19 2018 and will be complete by late May 31 ,2018. Reclamation will immediately follow the completion of the construction activity. B. Sequence of Major Activities The anticipated sequence of construction activities is as follows: • Salvage six inches of topsoil from borrow area and on -site haul road and place in compacted perimeter berms around the area of excavation. • Grade and construct on -site haul road to connect borrow area to existing on -site network of improved, heavy duty roads. • Evaluate the entrance/exit where the existing improved property road joins paved Weld County Road 66. This evaluation will determine if a vehicle tracking control pad needs to be constructed at this existing connection. • Perform excavation of borrow materials and direct load them into tractor -trailer units for transporting to an off -site project. • Upon completing excavation and hauling activities, grade excavation slopes to a maximum 3:1 gradient. Salvaged topsoil, previously placed in the perimeter berms, will be spread over the disturbed areas. • Perform disturbed area reclamation as suggested. This will include the application of seeding mix and straw mulch. This scenario will maximize and expedite the revegetation of the disturbed areas while minimizing the potential for erosion or stormwater runoff and/or erosion. C. Estimates of Area Involved Total area disturbed = 12 acres Borrow excavation = 11 acres Haul Road = 1.0 acres D. Runoff Coefficients and Soil Data Runoff coefficients were taken from the "Standard Requirements for Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards" by the Weld County Tri- Area Sanitation District. The C values are: Undeveloped condition, 10yr. Storm: 0.25 The site soils are identified by the Soil Conservation Service as belonging to the Osgood Series which are described as deep well drained soils that formed in wind-blown sand deposits. These soils are well drained with low runoff potential and exhibit a high to very high saturated hydraulic conductivity. Per the Soil Conservation Service, due to their sandy nature, low organic content and droughtiness, Osgood soils are best suited for rangeland use - this is the current use of the borrow area. E. Existing Vegetation The site is currently has a small patch of familand used for sugar beets F. Potential Pollution Sources Potential pollutant sources, including materials and activities at the site were evaluated for the potential to contribute pollutants to stormwater discharges. That evaluation resulted in the following identified potential pollutant sources: • Areas of soil disturbance • Vehicle tracking of soil • Equipment maintenance and fueling. Expanding upon the results of that evaluation: Areas of soil disturbance — The salvaged topsoil will be placed in a compacted berm around the area to be excavated. With this technique: • all runoff from the disturbed area will be contained and will seep into the sandy soil and not be discharged • all surface runoff from adjoining areas will be diverted around the disturbed area and thus will not be contaminated. The perimeter berm will be constructed and maintained as detailed in BMP EC -8 found in the appendices. Vehicle tracking of soil — The borrow excavation will require the construction of an on -site haul road to connect the excavation site to the existing on -site roads. The distance traveled on the existing roads from the connection with the new road to the present exit onto County Road 66 and the high quality of the existing road at the exit makes it highly unlikely that soil will be tracked onto the public highway. However, the situation will be monitored during the hauling activities and if soil tracking is observed a Stabilized Entrance will be constructed and maintained as detailed in BMP SC - 8 found in the Appendices. Equipment maintenance and fueling — No fuel or petroleum products will be stored at the excavation site and the hauling units will be maintained and fueled at the off -site main project area. The excavation equipment will be fueled and serviced at the excavation site. Pollution prevention procedures to be followed during fueling and servicing activities are covered in the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan found in the Appendices. G. Anticipated Non-stormwater Discharge No dewatering activities will occur at this site and no discharges are anticipated from other non -storm water sources. H. Receiving Waters Precipitation tends to infiltrate the area's sandy soils rather than leaving the area as surface runoff, thus a network of surface drainage features is not well developed. The area of the borrow slopes gently to the south and precipitation that does not infiltrate the sandy soil leaves the area as surface sheet flow. PART Ill - BMP'S for STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION A. Erosion and Sediment Controls 1. Perimeter Berms. Temporary, compacted perimeter berms will be constructed around the edge of the excavation area to prevent runoff from disturbed areas being discharged and to prevent surface runoff from adjoining areas entering the disturbed areas. 2. Stabilized Construction Entrance — A stone stabilized pad will be constructed at the existing property ingress and egress to County Road 66 if it is determined the borrow excavation/hauling activities are resulting in mud being tracked onto the highway. This pad will function to minimize the amount of mud transported onto public roads by vehicles. 3. Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) - Attached B. Materials Handling and Spill Prevention No fuel or like materials will be stored on -site. Any required maintenance activities will be performed in a manner that minimizes the risk of release of hazardous substances. The containment of any accidental release of a hazardous substance will be initiated immediately. The start of cleanup work of any accidental release of a hazardous substance will be initiated within 24 hours of its discovery and proceed without delay to its completion. C. Final Stabilization and Long-term Storm Water Management Permanent seeding will be used to stabilize all unpaved areas disturbed by construction activities. The final stabilization of the disturbed areas will begin as soon as practicable after construction activities are complete. D. Other Controls Good housekeeping practices will be observed on the construction site. Containers will be provided for trash/debris and will be emptied on a regular basis and the contents disposed of at a permitted solid waste landfill. Construction equipment will be regularly inspected for leaks or conditions that could lead to discharges coming into contact with storm water. All leaks, drips, or spills will be cleaned up immediately and leaking equipment will be repaired or removed from the site. E. Inspection and Maintenance All erosion and sediment control devices will be inspected for condition after each rainfall event or snowmelt that produces significant runoff, or as a minimum, once every fourteen days. All deficiencies will be corrected within 24 hours of discovery to maintain all control features as designed. Subsequent to the performance of the final reclamation activities and prior to the establishment of adequate vegetation growth, the reclaimed areas will be inspected to ensure that follow-up erosion control measures are not required. Inspection and maintenance reports will be completed and maintained by Ames as the inspection and maintenance activities are conducted. Documents will also be maintained that note the following dates: • Start of major grading operations • Permanent cessation of major grading operations • Initiation of stabilization measures A copy of the Storm Water Management Plan will also be maintained at the project field office for this construction site. APPENDICES Spill Prevention Control Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) AMES CONSTRUCTION, INC. Spill — Prevention - Control - Countermeasure SPCC Front Range Feedlot Borrow 2, Weld County Wage Scope This is to provide spill prevention, control, and countermeasure plans SPCC. Purpose To establish an awareness of the basic concepts of preventing spills and timely recovery if they happen on this site during general industry practices. If an incident takes place information must be communicated to the supervision and if needed the emergency personnel responding to the project to insure an organized safe effort is conducted to protect life, environment, and property damage. The purpose is meant for basic emergency preparedness for responding to accidents or incidents involving the transportation of chemical materials. The purpose is not intended for employees whose primary function is emergency response. Materials Handling and Spill Prevention. ❖ It should be noted that there is no fuel storage anticipated at the Front Range Feedlot Borrow 2 site The following are material management practices that shall be used to reduce the risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to storm water runoff. Good Housekeeping: The following good housekeeping practices will be followed onsite during the construction project: 1. An effort will be made to store only enough material required to do the job. 2. Personnel will be familiar with proper safety handling using PPE listed by the Manufacture and or the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) 3. Materials that can potentially spill from a container stored on site will be stored in a neat, orderly manner in their appropriate containers and if needed protected from weather or within secondary containment as needed. 4. Until used, products will be kept in their original containers with the original manufacturer's label, once in use proper containment and labeling standards shall be followed. 5. Substances will not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the manufacturer. 6. Whenever possible, all of a product will be used up before disposing properly of the container. 7. Manufacturers' recommendations for proper use shall be followed. 8. Any remaining chemicals shall be disposed of according to manufacturers' recommendations and in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations. 9. The SWMP Administrator and onsite Management will inspect regularly to ensure proper use and disposal of materials onsite. 2IPage Hazardous Products: These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous materials, but are not limited to using additional experience and trained techniques. 1. Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not re -sealable. 2. Original labels and material safety data will be retained. 3. Products will be handled by personnel trained in the safe handling and use of PPE relative the products. 4. If surplus product must be disposed of, manufacturers' or local and State recommended methods for proper disposal will be followed. Product Specific Practices: These are in general context and specific direction should be determined through the CDOT Specifications and the SDS's as well as experience and trained techniques. Petroleum Products: All onsite vehicles will be informally monitored for leaks and receive regular preventative maintenance to reduce the chance of leakage and encourage safe operations. Petroleum products for vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance will be stored in tightly sealed containers which are clearly labeled. Any asphalt substances used onsite will be applied according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Leaks occur generally as a result of faulty, old or improperly maintained equipment or storage facilities. If unintentional leaks are detected, the operator will identify and abate the material immediately. For impervious surfaces, an absorbent material will be used to soak up the liquid wastes and then swept up and placed in a contained unit for proper disposal. When leaks are detected on soils, the operator will remove contaminated soils from the earth and place them in a contained unit for proper disposal. Containers used for contaminated materials will be clearly marked and kept from coming into direct contact with storm water. Storage or fueling areas where leaks can occur shall be inspected visually on a regular basis. Efforts taken to abate unintentional leaks and repair faulty equipment should be recorded in the activity log. Unintentional leaks must not be confused with spills and should be identified accordingly. Fertilizers: Fertilizers will be applied only in the minimum amounts recommended by the manufacturer. Once applied, fertilizer will be worked into the soil to limit exposure to storm water. Storage will be in a covered and contained area. The contents of any partially used bags of fertilizer will be transferred to a sealable plastic bin to avoid spills. Soil amendments will be spread and tilled into the soil immediately upon arrival to the site in order to minimize direct contact with storm water runoff. Spill Control Practices: In addition to the good housekeeping and material management practices discussed previously in this plan, the following practices will be followed for spill prevention and cleanup: Safety Data Sheets (SDS) recommended methods for spill cleanup should be kept in the job trailer and site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the location of the information and cleanup supplies. 3IPage Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the material storage area onsite. Equipment and materials will include but are not be limited to: brooms, dust pans, mops, rags, gloves, goggles, absorbent powder / kitty litter, sand, sawdust, and plastic and metal trash containers specifically for this purpose. The operator will inform the jobsite personnel that if a spill of any size occurs they are to always notify the SWMP manager and, depending on the nature and severity of the spill, the operator will contact the EPA, downstream users and other regulatory agencies. When any spill occurs: 1) Notify the supervisors of the site immediately following a hazardous spill. 2) Document the spill and its clean-up procedures whether reporting is required or not. 3) At a minimum document the following: • Nature of spill • Quantity of spill • Date/time spill occurred • Agency notification if necessary • Clean-up procedures used • Daily monitoring (7 days) after clean-up • Photographs • Interview(s) with any witnesses of the event General guidelines for clean-up procedures: • First priority is your individual safety, an assessment of the spill is critical to keeping the area safe and minimizing the spill. • Determine the PPE by reviewing the special protection section of the Safety Data Sheets for the chemical involved. • Immediately control or stop the release/spill • Mitigate the spill area as needed with a spill prevention kit, and or based on the severity use containment techniques such as soil berms or other non-combustible material over and around the chemical. Provide special care to protect man maid conveyances and waterways. • Obtain approved secondary containers to store any absorbents used • Report the spill to the Responsible Person on the jobsite for determination if further reporting is required or if emergency notification is appropriate. • Provide clean up in a timely manner to completing proper storage and or disposal.
