Storm water pollution has long been recognized as a large contributor to surface water degradation, but with proper planning and management, pollution from storm water discharge can be prevented. Specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP’s) can provide construction sites and Industrial Facilities with enough protection to avoid water pollution and unnecessary fines. SWPPP’s are required for both new and re-development construction projects, Industrial facilities are also required to develop a plan. Regulated by the Construction General Permit (CGP) or Industrial General Permit (IGP), a SWPPP will assure that project owners and facility operators comply with discharge requirements to reduce or prevent pollutants associated with construction or industrial activity from being discharged into storm drains.
