appropriation and discharge. Items such as French drains or
infiltration wells should not be used.
3.16.1.4.2 Other site uses such as wash racks and refueling points,
which may introduce contaminants to the groundwater, must be
controlled to contain potential releases contaminants, and the design
must address the control measures.
3.16.1.4.3 If the site is near a municipal well, wellhead protection
provisions may be in effect. The utility or well owner will be contacted
regarding these provisions. Wellhead protection provisions may also
be required by state rules in some locations.
3.16.1.5 Water Quality
3.16.1.5.1 Surface water runoff quality is addressed in Section .2
above. Facilities which could affect the quality of runoff water, such as
wash racks and fueling stations, will be connected to a local sanitary
sewer through on-site oil/water separators and/or mechanical water/
contaminant separators.
3.16.1.5.2 Exterior connected drains to sanitary sewers shall be
under roofed areas or contain valves to control discharge into the
sewer. Containment areas may also be provided for contaminants
which may affect surface or groundwater quality to provide for its
control prior to being safely collected and removed and disposed of
by hazardous material teams or contractors.
3.16.1.6. Temporary Construction Impacts
3.16.1.6.1 Temporary erosion and sediment control requirements are
addressed in Section 3.2.1.3 above. Other requirements may include
use of flagpersons and/or special control signs during site
construction, for access to the site and on-site routing of construction
traffic.
3.16.1.6.2 Fugitive dus from construction shall be controlled by use
of application of water or dust retardant chemicals to earthwork
areas. Air omissions and noise due to construction are recognized as
temporary environmental impacts and generally do not require
mitigation or special permits other than the normal licenses or permits
required by construction contractors.
3.16.1.7 It is not unusual for AR sites to harbor protected wildlife.
The design will address any measures identified in the project
environmental documentation.
