Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

The SWPPP is a site-specific written document that should identify regulated industrial or construction operations, and should identify pollution control practices that the site is implementing to prevent and minimize pollutants from reaching storm-water runoff. The SWPPP (sometimes referred to as SWP3 or SWP2 or SWPPP) to secure required by Storm-water Permits pursuant to the local permitting authority’s adopted National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program authorized by Clean Water Act. Thus, the SWPPP is required under California’s Industrial General Permit pursuant to California’s NPDES program. Among other things, the SWPPP requires Best Management Practices to prevent or minimize storm-water pollution.
