BASIC REQUIREMENTS
OF A STORMWATER POLLUTION
PREVENTION PLAN
A Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) is basically an erosion, sediment and waste chemical
control plan. It is up to the permit holder to decide what
types of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to use at a given
site, but the company/municipality/contractor must comply
with the permit requirement.
SWPPPs will typically include:
- Site Description with a map
- A description of the sediment, erosion and polluted water
controls used on-site, including stabilization and structural
practices (such as seeding, catch basin inserts like the
Ultra-DrainGuard or Ultra-GrateGuard)
- Descriptions of the BMPs to control stormwater runoff
after completion of a construction activity or as a part
of a long term maintenance plan.

What are the permit requirements?
Permit holders are required to develop, implement and enforce
a stormwater management program to:
- Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable (MEP).
- Protect water quality.
- Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of
the Clean Water Act.
- Submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) which includes BMPs to
be used, measurable goals, frequency of actions and responsible
persons.
