For projects that use all site for construction, how does the NPDES General Permit consider final stabilization?
Can I consider it when the lower level has been completed? The permit talks about vegetation only.
Thank you.

David, I don't totally follow the question. What do you mean by the lower level?

I would like to know what "final stabilization of soil" means when you have a zero-lot line project.
All site surface will be used for construction, no vegetation will be present at ground level.
Hope this is clearer.

I think in this situation, you would simply indicate what's going on in your ESC plan—that final stabilization basically means that the area is built upon. Make sense?

Yes, it makes all sense, I just wanted to double check.

For a project that has already built its slurry wall in its entirety, up to what extend does the ESC plan need to be documented?
My question is because the soil final stabilisation has already been reached by building the slurry wall.
We think we should still document what happens with rainwater since it is going down to the last basement level, being filtered and then pump out of the site. Shall we still keep on documenting the plan just because of the rainwater?

Yes, you must!
