A SWPPP is a fundamental requirement of stormwater permits in Texas. As runoff flows over land and impervious surfaces, it accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment, etc., that could adversely affect water quality if the runoff discharge is untreated. This will lead to unsafe water for drinking, fishing, swimming and other activities.
A well prepared SWPPP will help a construction operator as follows:
Nearly all construction site operators engaged in clearing, grading, excavation activities that disturb one acre or more, including smaller sites in a larger common plan of development or sale, are required to prepare a SWPPP and obtain coverage under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
If you’re in Texas, visit the TCEQ website for information on Storm Water Permitting requirements.
