Inspections must resume within 24 hours of runoff occurring, or upon resumingconstruction, whichever comes first. 72.D.10 . Owner(s)/operator(s) must record all inspections and maintenance activities within 24 hours of being conducted and these records must be retained with the site plans. These records must include: a.date and time of inspections; and b.name of person(s) conducting inspections; and c.accurate findings of inspections, including the specific location where corrective actions are needed; and d.corrective actions taken (including dates, times, and party completing maintenance activities); and e.date of all rainfall events greater than one-half inch in 24 hours, and the amount of rainfall for each event. Owner(s)/operator(s) must obtain rainfall amounts by either a properly maintained rain gauge installed onsite, a weather station that is within one (1) mile of owner(s)/operator(s)r location, or a weather reporting system that provides site specific rainfall data from radar summaries; and f.if owner(s)/operator(s) observe a discharge during the inspection, they must record and should photograph and describe the location of the discharge (i.e., color, odor, settled or suspended solids, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of pollutants); and g.any amendments to the site plans proposed as a result of the inspection must be documented within seven (7) calendar days. 72.E. Inspection and maintenance: 72.E.1. Owner(s)/operator(s) must place building products and landscape materials under cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) or protect them by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with stormwater. Owner(s)/operator(s) are not required to cover or protect products which are either not a source of contamination to stormwater or are designed to be exposed to stormwater. 72.E.2. Owner(s)/operator(s) must place pesticides, fertilizers and treatment chemicals under cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) or protect them by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with stormwater. 72.E.3. Owner(s)/operator(s) must store hazardous materials and toxic waste, (including oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, paint solvents, petroleum-based products, wood preservatives, additives, curing compounds, and acids) in sealed containers to prevent spills, leaks or other discharge. Storage and disposal of hazardous waste materials must be in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7045 including secondary containment as applicable. 72.E.4. Owner(s)/operator(s) must properly store, collect, and dispose of solid waste in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7035. 72.E.5. Owner(s)/operator(s) must position portable toilets so they are secure and will not tip or be knocked over. Owner(s)/operator(s) must dispose of sanitary waste in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7041. 72.E.6. Owner(s)/operator(s) must take reasonable steps to prevent the discharge of spilled or leaked chemicals, including fuel, from any area where chemicals or fuel will be loaded or unloaded including the use of drip pans or absorbents unless infeasible. Owner(s)/operator(s) must ensure adequate supplies are available at all times to clean up discharged materials and that an appropriate disposal method is available for recovered spilled materials. Owner(s)/operator(s) must report and clean up spills immediately as required by Minn. Stat. § 115.061, using dry clean up measures where possible. 72.E.7. Owner(s)/operator(s) must limit vehicle exterior washing and equipment to a defined area of the site. Owner(s)/operator(s) must contain runoff from the washing area in a sediment basin or other similarly effective controls and must dispose of waste from the washing activity properly. Owner(s)/operator(s) must properly use and store soaps, detergents, or solvents. 72.E.8. Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide effective containment for all liquid and solid wastes generated by washout operations (e.g., concrete, stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other construction materials) related to the construction activity. Owner(s)/operator(s) must prevent liquid and solid washout wastes from contacting the ground and must design the containment so it does not result in runoff from the washout operations or areas. Owner(s)/operator(s) must properly dispose of liquid and solid wastes in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7035. Owner(s)/operator(s) must install a sign indicating the location of the washout facility. 72.F. Temporary sediment basins: 72.F.1. Where ten (10) or more acres of disturbed soil drain to a common location, owner(s)/operator(s) must provide a temporary sediment basin to provide treatment of the runoff before it leaves the construction site or enters surface waters. Owner(s)/operator(s) may convert a temporary sediment basin to a permanent basin after construction is complete. The temporary basin is no longer required when permanent cover has reduced the acreage of disturbed soil to less than ten (10) acres draining to a common location. 72.F.2. The temporary basin must provide live storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a two (2)-year, 24-hour storm from each acre drained to the basin or 1,800 cubic feet of live storage per acre drained, whichever is greater.
