Requirements to reduce stormwater pollution from construction sites have been in place at the State level since 2003 and became part of the City of Longmont’s stormwater regulations in 2005. The City also has its own permit from the State that requires the use of many different measures, ranging from outreach and education to compliance inspections, to prevent pollutants from entering the storm drainage system and surface waters. Site reviews of development plans, issuance of stormwater permits, site inspections and enforcement are some of the tools that the City uses to insure that construction practices minimize sediment and pollutant runoff from construction sites. After working with the these construction requirements for several years, the City has found that simply informing contractors and developers about stormwater regulations and the requirements to comply with those regulations is not enough to ensure the protection of the environment. Most contractors and developers are, or should be, familiar with the stormwater regulations, but compliance with them still needs to improve.

sources on the site,• Selection of improper or ineffective Best Management Practices
(BMPs ) to use with each pollutant source,
Most are familiar with the stormwater
regulations, but compliance with them still needs to improve.

City of Longmont Pilots Uniform Stormwater Management
System Program for Two Capital Improvement Projects
Spring 2011
All highway agencies have a process in place for installing and maintaining traffic signs on the streets and roads under their jurisdiction. These processes take many forms ranging from very simple to complex depending upon the type and size of the agencies, and the number of signs that need to be managed. Current processes devote varying degrees of attention to nighttime visibility aspects.
Traffic signs provide important information to drivers, and to be effective, their visibility must be maintained - both day and night. The new MUTCD standard in Section 2A.09 requires that agencies maintain their traffic signs to a minimum level of retroreflectivity; and the FHWA has identified a set of assessment and management methods that agencies can use to maintain sign retroreflectivity. Addressing the needs for improved nighttime visibility of traffic signs requires agencies integrate one or more of these approved methods into their sign management processes.
A sign management system could be considered as one of the methods, or serve as a tool that could be used to support one or more of the methods. In itself, a sign management system does not provide a means for evaluating nighttime sign visibility, but it does provide a means of managing information that can be used to predict when a sign should be replaced. It can be a useful way to track the history and details of each sign to help plan for future replacements.
Advantages of computer-based sign management Manual systems are basically paper records of an agency’s sign inventory. Such systems may be adequate for agencies with small inventories. However, electronic systems help agencies with larger inventories manage their signs and other traffic control devices more aggressively and efficiently. With electronic systems, sign inventory data are stored in a database and can be quickly accessed in a variety of ways.
The ability to query information from the database allows agencies to:• locate and schedule maintenance/replacement activities • generate replacement cost estimates• generate a list of devices at a particular intersection or problem location, and• identify high vandalism locations and trends.
Choosing the Right SoftwareGood basic sign management software includes the following features:• user-friendly interface• easy data entry, retrieval, and sorting• ability to import, export, and share data with other management systems
(like accounting software)An effective system allows agencies to document sign inspection,
maintenance and replacement activities; link to geographic information system (GIS) software packages; locate signs efficiently on a map; and attach photographs of the traffic control devices.

Othertrainingmethod:
• Improper installation of BMPs,• Improper maintenance of BMPs,• Project phasing that does not correspond to the
phases identified in the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), and
• Lack of a systematic means of administering theSWMP on site.
The City could deal with these deficiencies using only enforcement, but this can be time consuming and counterproductive for both the City and the contractor. Although enforcement will continue to be used as necessary, there are some positive steps that contractors and developers can take to make sure they stay in compliance and avoid penalties or other enforcement actions. One of these is to use a well-defined method for managing stormwater BMPs and construction activities on a site.
In 2010 the City of Longmont sent two of its employees to the Advanced Stormwater Management training provided by the Associated General Contractors of Colorado. This training is based on use of the Uniform Stormwater Management System (USMS), which is a systematic method for managing stormwater on a construction site. This system is laid out in specific written procedures and gives contractors and developers the tools needed for achieving a high degree of compliance with stormwater regulations. The training suggested to the City that use of the USMS would improve the overall management of stormwater on construction sites and provide a higher level of compliance with both State and City requirements.
For the City of Longmont, the USMS offers the following attributes:
• An organized approach to documenting andimplementing a SWMP,
• A pollution source identification table and method of labeling each pollutant source with a unique identifier,
• A table of BMPs and a method of labeling each BMP with a unique identifier,
• A method of associating each unique pollution source with a unique BMP to control that pollution source,
• Use of a Corrective Action Log to document corrective action for non-compliant BMP’s and pollution sources and for establishing corrective action time limitations, and
• Using the phases of the project to predict the potential pollution sources before they are created or brought onto the construction site.
The City of Longmont believes that the use of a systematic method of this type will help contractors and developers to more easily meet their stormwater requirements and avoid compliance problems on construction sites. As a result, the City is requiring the use of either the USMS or a management system that has essentially the same features on two 2011 Capital Improvement Projects. This is being done as a pilot to evaluate the effectiveness of a stormwater management system of this type. The City will keep you posted on the progress of this approach through the Colorado LTAP newsletter.

If your agency can’t accurately answer questions like these, you may want to consider implementing a sign management system. The following are just a few of the options to consider.
Safety Software Suite – Signs Plugin The Utah LTAP center is dedicated to bringing safety solutions to local agencies lacking the money to buy the big
expensive tools. Under their Safety Software Suite they offer a FREE geographic information system with plugins for Crash Analysis, Sign Management and Inventory, Intersection Analysis, Road Safety Audits, ADA Ramp Management, and more. The Signs Plugin is a complete package for sign management. It allows you to inventory the locations/conditions and other important attributes for signs and sign supports on a map, and allows you to keep a history of all changes made to a sign or support. It allows you to add photos, and keep files stored with the sign they belong to. The software has a useful book-keeping tool that lets you keep track of how many signs/supports of a specific type you have on hand in your shop inventory. It provides reporting tools that allow you to print out a list of the signs inspected by an inspector and any extra work done on a sign, along with merging tools that allow you to merge two sign projects together. And in preparation for compliance with the Retroreflectivity regulations, if sign management is your chosen method, the software’s Warrant Life tool allows you to figure out how many signs will be expiring in a given date range and how much it will cost to fix them. All but the Pavement Preservation module are free to local agencies, and Utah LTAP staff can help with download and basic tech support. If you would like to see documentation and a presentation of one of their Safety Software Suite Plugins visit http://utahltap.org/index.cfm/software/safety-software-suite, or contact the Utah LTAP Director, Nick Jones, at [email protected].
PubWorks - SignWorksPubWorks is a comprehensive, GIS-integrated asset management software for public works, road & bridge, parks,
highway districts, stormwater/wastewater and forest service operations. It is designed to incorporate Asset Management, Fleet Maintenance, Signs, Service Requests, Work Orders, GIS Mapviewer, GPS Asset Data Collector, and Comprehensive Reporting. The Asset Management Core is the foundation, and any combination of the additional modules is available. SignWorks is a sign management program ready to manage your sign inventory and provide instant compliance with new retro-reflectivity standards including sign inventory, sign inspection, work orders, and reporting on history, maintenance, and future actions. The software is simple to use with its familiar Windows-style interface, intelligent tabbing and no redundant data entry. SignWorks comes with a laptop already loaded with the program, so you can begin work immediately. For a demonstration or more information on PubWorks - visit, write or call: www.PubWorks.com; [email protected]; 888-920-0380.
SimpleSignsAre you still managing your sign inventory using spreadsheets, paper logs or nothing at all? Maybe you have
sign inventory software already, but it’s too complicated to use, or you’re tired of paying the annual tech support bill. SimpleSigns might be just what you need. Many counties, cities and townships are turning to sign inventory software to better manage their sign investment and to protect themselves from legal troubles. SimpleSigns is a software investment that can quickly pay for itself by more efficiently deploying your staff to just those locations that are most in need of attention. Prioritize your maintenance tasks by the age of the signs, the direction they face, or any other criteria. Use the map feature to understand the overall picture and identify problem areas. Whether you manage your inventory from a desk in the office, or with a laptop in the field, SimpleSigns is designed to make you more productive. SimpleSigns is specifically developed for small communities and is priced accordingly. Best of all, there are no annual maintenance fees. Visit http://www.rowekamp.com/SimpleSigns.htm or contact Mike at [email protected] for more information or to schedule a demo.
How many traffic signs are on your roads? How old is each one? Can they all be seen at night?

RoadSoft GIS - SignsThe MI LTAP at Michigan Technological University works
with the Center for Technology & Training on their RoadSoft program. The Center for Technology & Training designs and supports software that efficiently collects, manages and analyzes data for public agencies. Roadsoft is a graphically designed, integrated roadway management system developed for local agency engineers and managers to use in the analysis and reporting of roadway inventory, safety, and conditional data. Modules in this software include Asset Management (Strategy Evaluation, Pavement Deterioration, Culvert Inventory, Guardrail, Inventory, Road Inventory, Sign Inventory, Sign Retroreflectivity); Safety Analysis; Workflow Management; Map Making; Mobile Data Collection (Signs, Culvert, Road Surface Rating); Engineers’ Resource Library; Project Management Utility; Bid Entry and Analysis; and Project Estimator.
A good sign management plan allows you to depreciate your agencies sign assets in an effective manner. With the Sign module, your total sign inventory can be managed with inspection and maintenance cycles that help keep your roads safe and your inventory consistent in a cost effective manner. Sometimes planning an inspection a few weeks before the sign material manufacturer’s warranty expires can actually reduce your sign budget. The methodology used in developing the Mobile Data Collection module was to provide a way to implement inspection cycles simultaneously with maintenance cycles.
These sections are designed to help you answer questions like: * When was the last time we checked the retroreflectivity of all the signs in our network? * Where do we need to replace old-style sign supports with the new break-away design? * Is there a way for me to electronically enter my inspection reports while I am in the field? * I would like for multiple maintenance crews to file a daily report so I can re-prioritize the work schedule for the
following day. How can they go about doing this? * What signs in my jurisdiction do not meet the latest regulatory standards?To learn more about RoadSoft, visit http://www.roadsoft.org/about . RoadSoft can also be made available for use by
agencies outside of Michigan through a licensing agreement. View the information packet for non-Michigan agencies at http://ctt.mtu.edu/RoadSoftInfoPacket.html.
After Selecting Software Implement your system by:
• collecting sign inventory data,• entering the data into the sign management system, and• updating data regularly.Purchasing software and collecting and entering data into
the system can be expensive. However, the ability to update data quickly, manage the inventory proactively, and limit agency exposure to tort liability can make the investment worthwhile!

Flagger Training ResourcesOnlineFlagger.comThe American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) has developed flagger training modified for one-on-one online delivery. In place of a live instructor, the training relies on graphics, video, and interactive content with narration. Comprehension is evaluated during the course using interactive quizzes, with instant feedback. The class is approx 4 hours in length, with about 1-hour testing time - designed to be self-paced. As part of the final exam each student must demonstrate how to Stop, Release, and Slow traffic. How is this done over the Internet? the flagger symbol was taken off of the Flagger Ahead sign, and turned it into a “puppet” that the student positions using the controls. Since the controls are recorded, the position of the puppet can be graded. Upon completion of the tests, the registrant will be emailed notification if they passed or failed. a temporary certificate is provided until the laminated, tamper proof ATSSA flagger certification card is sent via mail. To register or view a sample of the demonstration exam, visit www.onlineflagger.com.
NHI/TCCC Flagger Web Based TrainingThis FREE flagger training was prepared by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI to review the basics of flagger duties. It is intended for individuals that will be performing or are engaging in flagger duties on construction/maintenance projects. It would be beneficial to the entry level employee as well as the experienced flagger. It does not go into individual state flagger training or certification requirements. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: Identify the responsibilities of a flagger; Describe the proper ways to place signs; Describe the proper position for flagging; Define the flagging procedures for stop, slow, and proceed; Identify the correct procedures for various flagging situations; and Describe the proper conduct in flagging. To register for this free web-based training, Type “Flagger” in the search line at: https://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/
Work Zone Safety and Flagging TutorialThe NY LTAP has developed a flagging and work zone safety tutorial for use on the internet. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide the fundamentals of work zone safety and to explain the basic concepts of flagging in a work zone. This includes reminders about proper flagging equipment, placement of flaggers, appropriate use of standard signaling devices, and methods of traffic control. While the tutorial does NOT replace flagger instruction programs, it can help explain some basic concepts and test your knowledge of work zone safety with lessons and review questions. Visitors to this tutorial should know that the New York MUTCD varies slightly from the federal MUTCD. Where differences apply, notes are be provided. The tutorial can be found at: http://www.clrp.cornell.edu/flaggingTutorial/flagTutorial.htm.
