Review common BMPs that are required year-round, specifically emphasizing unique summer (dry season)-related issues.
• Using a modified SWOT analysis model, each BMP will be discussed in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities (alternatives), and threats specific to summer (dry season)-related issues, e.g., heat, solar degradation, wind, and increased dry season earth disturbance activity.
• The 2022 Construction General Permit requirements regarding BMP compliance will be discussed when applicable. At the end of the class, participants should better understand each BMP discussed and have gained a designer’s perspective to ensure better site compliance.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the basic planning steps in developing a sediment and turbidity TMDL, with particular emphasis on conducting the sediment source analysis to determine natural background sediment from anthropogenic or management-related sediment.
- List tiers and categories of BMPs appropriate for sediment and turbidity TMDLs at the watershed scale for the State Water Resources Control Board and the site scale consistent with the CA CGP.
- Name several approaches to TMDL compliance monitoring and how to tailor the approach for a particular 303d water quality-impaired watershed.
