3 Personal Perspective Private Regulator Sector

4 Construction Sites • East Bank – 115 acres – Production began 1938 – Halted by Hurricane Katrina 2005 – “Revitalization” plan

East Bank “Revitalization” 5 • Challenges – Distance and no-drive times – Visibility • Daily operations • Public – Scale • 54 acres • 8 contracts

6 West Bank Projects • CSA III – Overview • Increase production • Improve storm water quality – Advantages • Visibility • Public roads • Distance to receiving waters

7 West Bank Projects • North East/West Track – Overview • Small construction • Increase portal crane access • New translation rails – Challenges • No exposed soils • Saw cutting • Dewatering • Hazards

8 Staying in Compliance • Obtain coverage ( before construction) Large Small ≥ 5 acres < 5 acres Submit Submittal Upon Required Request

9 Staying in Compliance • Know the permit – Permit vs. SWPPP • Fence maintenance – Permit: 1/3 to 1/2 – SWPPP: 1/3 • Sediment basins • Inspection frequency – At least weekly  4/month – Tuesdays – Dewatering – “ S teep slopes” Ceds.org – Vegetative barriers

10 Staying in Compliance • Know SWPPP – Often written by engineering firm – 1 st item requested by inspector – Contractor copy • Subs aware of language – Specific locations: • Chute washout • Maintenance • Fueling  Containment • Material storage

11 Staying in Compliance • Inspection logs – NOI forms contain inspection log – Use your own • Greater detail  Weather • Be honest – Check contractor logs – Get dirty Imgflip.com
