Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is for the "Repair Storm Damage on Mora Road" project (WA NP OLYM 115(1)) located at Mile Post 1.25 in Olympic National Park, Clallam County, Washington. The project is a partnership between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Olympic National Park, and the Quileute Tribe. The primary goal is to remediate erosion issues, improve fish habitat, and ensure long-term access to Rialto Beach and Tribal lands by stabilizing a section of Mora Road that was undermined by winter storms.

• Project Location: Mora Road, Mile Post 1.25, Olympic National Park, Mora, WA 98331.
• Project Size: Approximately 1.4 acres (60,000 sq ft) for the main project, with an additional 1 acre for staging areas.
• Construction Activities: Involves installing a large log structure (approximately 560 feet long) consisting of two deflectors and three revetment structures, as well as temporary access roads. Heavy equipment will be used, including excavators, pile drivers, dozers, and graders.
• Estimated Project Dates: Preparation and mobilization starting mid-May 2025, with construction above the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) beginning mid-June 2025. In-water work is scheduled from July 15 to February 15 to protect juvenile salmonids. Project completion is estimated by December 1, 2026.

The SWPPP details comprehensive erosion and sediment control measures, pollution prevention practices, and dewatering procedures to minimize the discharge of pollutants into the Quillayute River and other receiving waters. Key measures include:

• Erosion and Sediment Controls: Silt fencing, fiber rolls, floating turbidity curtains, stabilized construction access, and rolled erosion control products for stockpiles and slopes.
• Pollution Prevention: Practices for fueling and maintenance of equipment, storage of materials, and waste management.
• Dewatering: Temporary diversion berms will be used to divert flow away from the active construction site, with water treated as necessary.
• Site Stabilization: Exposed soils will be stabilized with seed and mulch within 14 days of cessation of work, with permanent stabilization using seed and wood fiber mulch or rolled erosion control products.

The project is located within the Olympic National Park and adjacent to the Quileute Tribe Reservation lands. The project area is within the 100-year floodplain and the Quillayute River Ordinary High Water (OHW). The project has undergone formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding potential effects on the threatened marbled murrelet and its critical habitat, and the northern spotted owl. Conservation measures are incorporated to minimize impacts, including restrictions on noise and visual disturbance during the murrelet nesting season and limitations on in-water work to protect salmonids.

This document is a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) developed in accordance with the EPA's Construction General Permit (CGP). It outlines the measures to be implemented to manage stormwater discharges from construction activities. Bidders should review this document to understand the environmental protection measures required for the project.
