Manual, automatic or rising stage sampling may be utilized. Samples required by this permit should be analyzed immediately, but in no case later than 48 hours after collection. However, samples from automatic samplers must be collected no later than the next business day after their accumulation, RFP 16-260 NPDES Storm Water Monitoring and Inspections RFP Due Tuesday,December 20,2016 @ 11:00 a.m. Page 12 of 21 unless flow through automated analysis is utilized. If automatic sampling is utilized and the automatic sampler is not activated during the qualifying event, the permittee must utilize manual sampling or rising stage sampling during the next qualifying event. Dilution of samples is not required. Samples may be analyzed directly with a properly calibrated turbidimeter. Samples are not required to be cooled. (5). Sampling and analysis of the receiving water(s) or outfalls beyond the minimum frequency stated in this permit must be reported to EPD as specified in Part IV.E. c. Sampling Points. (1). For construction activities the primary permittee must sample all perennial and intermittent streams and other water bodies shown on the USGS topographic map and all other field verified perennial and intermittent streams and other water bodies, or all outfalls into such streams and other water bodies, or a combination thereof. However, provided for in and in accordance with Part IV.D.6.c.(2). of this permit, primary permittees on an infrastructure construction project may sample the representative perennial and intermittent streams, other water bodies or outfalls, or a combination thereof. Samples taken for the purpose of compliance with this permit shall be representative of the monitored activity and representative of the water quality of the receiving water(s)and/or the storm water outfalls using the following minimum guidelines: (a) The upstream sample for each receiving water(s) must be taken immediately upstream of the confluence of the first storm water discharge from the permitted activity (i.e., the discharge farthest upstream at the site) but downstream of any other storm water discharges not associated with the permitted activity. Where appropriate, several upstream samples from across the receiving water(s)may need to be taken and the arithmetic average of the turbidity of these samples used for the upstream turbidity value. (b) The downstream sample for each receiving water(s) must be taken downstream of the confluence of the last storm water discharge from the permitted activity (i.e., the discharge farthest downstream at the site)but upstream of any other storm water discharge not associated with the permitted activity. Where appropriate, several downstream samples from across the receiving water(s) may need to be taken and the arithmetic average of the turbidity of these samples used for the downstream turbidity value. (c) Ideally the samples should be taken from the horizontal and vertical center of the receiving water(s)or the storm water outfall channel(s). (d) Care should be taken to avoid stirring the bottom sediments in the receiving water(s) or in the outfall storm water channel. (e) The sampling container should be held so that the opening faces upstream. (f) The samples should be kept free from floating debris. (g) Permittees do not have to sample sheet flow that flows onto undisturbed natural areas or areas stabilized by the project. For purposes of this section, stabilized shall mean, for unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures, 100%of the soil surface is uniformly covered in permanent vegetation with a density of 70% or greater, or landscaped according to the Plan (uniformly covered with landscaping materials in planned landscaped areas), or equivalent permanent stabilization measures as defined in the Manual (excluding a crop of annual vegetation and a seeding of target crop perennials appropriate for the region). For infrastructure RFP 16-260 NPDES Storm Water Monitoring and Inspections RFP Due Tuesday,December 20,2016 @ 11:00 a.m. Page 13 of 21 construction projects on land used for agricultural or silvicultural purposes,final stabilization may be accomplished by stabilizing the disturbed land for its agricultural or silvicultural use (h) All sampling pursuant to this permit must be done in such a way (including generally accepted sampling methods, locations, timing, and frequency) as to accurately reflect whether storm water runoff from the construction site is in compliance with the standard set forth in Parts III.D.3.or III.D.4.,whichever is applicable. (2). N/A (3). N/A (4). N/A (5). N/A (6). For infrastructure construction projects, monitoring obligations shall cease for any phase of the project that has been stabilized in accordance with Part IV.D.6.c.(1).(g). d. Sampling Frequency. (1). The primary permittee must sample in accordance with the Plan at least once for each rainfall event described below. For a qualifying event, the permittee shall sample at the beginning of any storm water discharge to a monitored receiving water and/or from a monitored outfall location within forty-five(45)minutes or as soon as possible. (2). However, where manual and automatic sampling are impossible (as defined in this permit), or are beyond the permittee's control,the permittee shall take samples as soon as possible, but in no case more than twelve(12)hours after the beginning of the storm water discharge. (3). Sampling by the permittee shall occur for the following events: (a) For each area of the site that discharges to a receiving water or from an outfall, the first rain event that reaches or exceeds 0.5 inch with a storm water discharge that occurs during normal business hours as defined in this permit. After all clearing and grubbing operations have been completed, but prior to completion of mass grading operations, in the drainage area of the location selected as the representative location; (b) In addition to(a) above,for each area of the site that discharges to a receiving water or from an outfall, the first rain event that reaches or exceeds 0.5 inch with a storm water discharge that occurs during normal business hours as denied in this permit either 90 days after the first sampling event or after all mass grading operations have been completed,but prior to submittal of a NOT, in the drainage area of the location selected as the representative sampling location,whichever comes first; (c) At the time of sampling performed pursuant to (a)and (b)above, if BMPs in any areas of the site that discharges to a receiving water or from an outfall are not properly within tow (2) business days, and turbidity samples shall be taken from discharges from that area of the site for each subsequent rain even that reaches or exceeds 0.5 inch during normal business hours* until the selected turbidity standard is attained,or until post-storm even inspections determine that BMPs are properly designed,installed and maintained; (d) Where sampling pursuant to (a), (b), or (c) above is required but not possible (or not required because there was no discharge), the permittee, in accordance with Part IV.D.4.a.(6), must include a written justification tin the inspection report of why sampling was not performed. RFP 16-260 NPDES Storm Water Monitoring and Inspections RFP Due Tuesday,December 20,2016 @ 11:00 a.m. Page 14 of 21 Providing this justification does not relieve the permittee of any subsequent sampling obligations under(a),(b),or(c)above;and (e) Existing construction activities, i.e., those that are occurring on or before the effective date of this permit, that have met the sampling required by (a) above shall sample in accordance with (b).Those existing construction activities that have met the sampling required by(b)above shall not be required to conduct additional sampling other than as required by(c)above. *Note that the Permittee may choose to meet the requirements of (a) and (b) above by collecting turbidity samples from any rain event that reaches or exceeds 0.5 inch and allows for monitoring at any time of the day or week. Monitoring and Inspection: The vendor will be required to inspect all best management practices (BMPs) on each site bi-weekly and after every 0.5 inch rainfall event. NTUs shall be monitored after each qualifying rain event. AUD prefers that once the sample is gathered that the testing of NTUs be completed by the vendor, or cost of testing by any outside lab to be included in the vendors proposal.

As required by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), projects that disturb over one acre of land require coverage under the appropriate general permit for stormwater discharges associated with construction. As a part of those permits certain inspections, monitoring, and reporting are required for this area. During the construction of the project, we continuously provide NPDES stormwater monitoring (including sampling of runoff, when appropriate), inspections and reporting required by EPD as part of the permit. This construction project comes under permit GAR 100002 for infrastructure projects. Our NPDES work will continue throughout the duration of the project until all construction is completed.
