| Title: |
Avoid discharging hydrostatic test waters directly into streams |
| Text: |
"Stream Habitats and Riparian Corridors: Hydrostatic test waters released during pipeline construction could cause alterations of stream channels, increased sediment loads and introduction of potentially toxic chemicals or invasive species into drainages. Avoid discharging hydrostatic test waters directly to streams. Release these waters first into a temporary, sediment retention basin if the concentration of total suspended solids is significantly higher than in the receiving water. Dewater temporary sedimentation basins in a manner that prevents erosion." |
