** consultation applies when on or affecting NFS land. ** Resource agencies may include CVRWQCB, USFWS, USACE, the County Planning Department, and others, as appropriate. Figure 2.1-1. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Process Flow Chart Measures Related to New Construction Temporary erosion prevention and control measures will be implemented during planned construction or reconstruction of Project facilities and infrastructure. Such projects include, but are not limited to, reconstruction at dam sites, road reconstruction, and recreation site development, where ground disturbance and/or vegetation removal is expected. The specific temporary erosion control measures will be site-specific, but will include all measures required by the permits, in additional to applicable BMPs for work on NFS land, and/or Licensees’ BMPs while working on PG&E land. A SWPPP may also be prepared and incorporated, as applicable. Additionally, non-stormwater BMPs (such as fueling, paving, waste material use and storage, stockpile management, spill control, and waste management BMPs) shall be implemented by the Licensees year-round for any construction or maintenance activities within the FERC Project Boundary. Measures shall be site-specific for each planned project and could extend past the final construction inspection by up to three years, if re-vegetation is included for more permanent site stabilization and erosion control (PG&E and City of Santa Clara 2017b). Measures Related to Routine Maintenance on NFS Land Routine maintenance activities conducted by the Licensee on NFS land will also follow Pacific Southwest Region BMPs (R5 FSH 2509.22, 2011 and 2012). These BMPs are designed to minimize soil disturbance and reduce delivery of sediment to water bodies. Emergency Erosion Control Activities The Licensees shall be prepared to monitor for unexpected, emergency erosion control events within the FERC Project Boundary that may develop in response to significant events (e.g., storms, earthquakes, wildfires). Erosion control measures may include documenting specific erosion threats, appropriate agency notifications, as needed, and short- and long-term remediation that can be taken to stabilize each site and address public safety. If erosion control place on an emergency basis, then notification to appropriate resource agencies will occur within 3 days (Box 4 in Figure 2.1-1) or as required by FERC license.
