NCDQT Highway Stormwater PROGRAM 2 Permit No. NCS000250 3. BMP Toolbox for Post -Construction Stormwater Program a. Objectives i. Maintain and update as necessary a BMP Toolbox to aid in the siting, design, and construction of stormwater quality BMPs with guidance on the suitability of each for NCDOT applications. ii. Evaluate BMPs for applicability to a linear highway system. b. Management Measures The NCDOT shall implement the following management measures to meet the objectives of the BMP Toolbox for Post -Construction Stormwater Program (PCSP). Management Measures Measurable Goals (a) Maintain a BMP Maintain a stormwater BMP Toolbox to provide design guidance Toolbox. for post -construction stormwater control measures. The BMP Toolbox will i lications and design criteria. I Proprietary BMPs will be evaluated In keeping with DEMLR requirements for permitting new stormwater technologies. (b) Update the toolbox as As necessary, evaluate new BMP types or design components for necessary potential updates to the BMP Toolbox. if applicable to NCDOT applications, the BMP Toolbox will be updated to include this new information. (c) Submit proposed New guidance on proposed BMPs will be submitted for DEMLR BMP Toolbox approval prior to implementation. revisions to DEMLR for approval.

NEST requires the submittal of research data, which is developed (in part) through NCDOT's research projects. c) By policy, NCDOT does not typically to approve or mandate proprietary devices for projects. Therefore, any request for approval under the NEST program should be made to NCDEQ. The Toolbox does not currently include any proprietary devices. d) The "Applicant" in the NEST program appears to be the developer of the device. Therefore, NCDOT believes any request for approval under NEST is the responsibility of the applicant, and not NCDOT. e) Should NCDOT decide to include a proprietary device in the Toolbox, NCDOT would only use those devices approved by NCDEQ per paragraph "c" above so that NCDOT would not be showing favoritism. f) Before a proprietary device is included in the Toolbox for implementation, the Toolbox must be approved by NCDEQ. Therefore, NCDOT has two opportunities to review the device for function and applicability to NCDOT. e riff rJrTJfff,r,r r/.i J:JfT�F fJr Product Evaluation Program (PEP https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/products/Pages/defauIt.aspx Asset Management Environmental Geotechnical GIS Hydraulics Materials & Tests Photogrammetry Products Product Evaluation Program (PEP), Product Submission Process and Additional NCDOT Product Resources. * ■ Connect NCDOT ■ Resources ■ Products Product Evaluation Program (PEP) Product Application Submittal Instructions Product Application Submittal Instructions .................................................................................................................................
