Introduction

PART I: INTRODUCTION

This document provides a toolbox for Caltrans field personnel to aid in proper implementation of water pollution control Best Management Practices (BMPs) on the construction site. The document is organized into the following parts: ? Part I: Introduction briefly presents (1) the principles of

erosion and sediment control, (2) common storm water pollutants on the construction site, and (3) guidelines for implementing a proper monitoring and inspection program for the construction site, including the use of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) or Water Pollution Control Program (WPCP) to ensure an effective water pollution control program. ? Part II: Project Operations and BMPs identifies typical water pollution control challenges for specific construction operations and the BMPs that are available to meet those challenges. ? Part III: BMP Implementation and Troubleshooting provides guidance for installing, maintaining and troubleshooting selected BMPs from the Caltrans Storm Water Quality Handbooks, Construction Site BMPs Manual.
