MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION PERMITS GENERAL CONDITIONS: 1) Material, labor and equipment for temporary erosion control measures and the acceptable maintenance thereof shall be provided during the life of the project, to effectively prevent water pollution through the use of berms, dikes, dams, sediment basins, fiber mats, netting, gravel, mulches, grasses, slope drains, and other erosion control devices or methods. Surface cover materials shall be anchored to reasonably prevent their entering waters of the State by erosion or rising water levels. 2) Temporary pollution control measures shall be included for all construction activity associated with the project where such work is necessary, for example borrow pit operations, haul roads, equipment storage, and plant or waste disposal sites. 3) The temporary pollution control provisions contained herein shall be coordinated with any permanent erosion features to the extent practical to assure economical, effective, and continuous erosion control throughout the construction and post-construction period. 4) The surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing and grubbing, excavation, borrow and fill operations shall be minimized and immediate permanent or temporary control measures shall be taken to prevent contamination of adjacent streams and other water courses, lakes, ponds, and areas of water impoundment. Cut slopes shall be stabilized by methods such as seeding and mulching as the excavation proceeds to the extent considered practicable. Slopes shall be graded properly to minimize erosion. ~. 5) The Applicant will be required to incorporate all permanent erosion control features into the project at the earliest practicable time. Provisions should be made for continual checking and maintenance of all control measures, particularly during periods of rainfall, to ensure maximum effectiveness. Temporary pollution control measures will be used to correct conditions that develop during construction that were not foreseen during the design state; that are needed temporarily to control erosion that develops during normal construction practices, but are not associated with the permanent control features on the project. 6) The Applicant will control the area of excavation, borrow and embankment operations commensurate with his progress with finish grading, mulching, seeding, and other such permanent erosion control measures. Should seasonal limitations make such coordination unrealistic, temporary erosion control measures shall be taken to the extent feasible. 7) Oil and other liquid substances capable of polluting water of the State will be stored in accordance with the requirements of MPCA Miscellaneous Water Quality Rules Chapter 7100.0010 - 7100.0090 (formerly Minnesota Code of Agency Rules 6 MCAR 4.8004) (formerly WPC-4). -2- . . , 8) Stream Bank Stabilization shall be utilized if it is needed to prevent erosion, and shall be constructed of materials which will not pollute waters of the State. 9) If an effluent will result from the project the Contractor shall submit to the MPCA plans, for approval, to provide for the following: a) Water from dewatering operations including effluents from construction activities shall only be discharged when the effluent complies with the applicable water quality and effluent standards. Dewatering shall be performed using well points where feasible and practical, all other dewatering shall be performed so as not to result in increased turbidity in the receiving water. This may require the use of desilting ponds to reduce suspended solids. When the MPCA requires, permits must be obtained. b) A Disposal System Permit shall be obtained by the Contractor from the MPCA prior to any hydraulic dredging or tunneling, or other activity including an effluent which may contain potential pollutants. 10) This permit shall not release the permittee from any liability or obligation imposed by Minnesota or Federal statutes or local ordinances and shall remain in force subject to all conditions and limitations now or hereafter imposed by law. The permit shall be permissive only and shall not be construed as stopping or limiting any claims against the permittee for damage or injury to persons or property, or any waters of the state resulting from any acts, operations or omissions of the permittee, its agents, contractors or assigns for damage to state property, or for any violation of the terms or conditions of this permit. 11) No assignment of this permit shall be effective until it is executed in writing and signed by the parties thereto and thereafter approved by the Agency. 12) No major alterations or additions to the disposal system shall be made without the written consent of the Agency. 13) The use of the disposal system shall be limited to the treatment and/or disposal of the sewage, industrial waste, other waste materials or substances described in the plans and/or permit application and associated material filed with the Agency. 14) The Agency may modify, suspend, or revoke in whole or in part, this permit after giving notice and providing an opportunity for a public hearing or by taking direct enforcement action, or any just cause including failure: (a) to comply with the terms stated herein, or (b) to comply with Agency water quality regulations and standards presently in force.

Approval of plans and permits is based upon the assumption that the information provided by the applicant is correct and that all necessary legal requirements have been or will be satisfied. Plans for sewage, industrial waste or other waste disposal systems are examined with regard to the design features which apply to operation and maintenance of the treatment works or sewer system, the degree of treatment to be provided, the effectiveness and reliability of the system or methods employed, and compliance with applicable standards systems. The bulletin entitled Recommended Standards for Vastewater Facilities, 1990 Edition, and supplements thereto, as well as other information are used in examination of the design, operation and maintenance aspects of the proposed system. Sewer plans are recommended for approval on the basis that the system is to collect only domestic sewage and such industrial or other waste as may have been provided for in the design. Foundation or footing drains to collect ground water and roof drains or other surface water conduits should not be connected to the sanitary sewer system. Adequate field supervision and inspection by a qualified representative~of the owner should be provided at all times during construction to assure that the project is constructed in compliance with the approved plans and specifications. The Agency assumes no responsibility for the integrity of structures or physical features, or for the reliability, durability or efficiency of specific items of propriety equipment or material.
