There are many reasons why construction activities are regulated by the Federal and State water authorities. Storm water runoff from a construction site can have a serious impact on local water quality. When stormwater flows over a site it can pick up all types of pollutants, such as chemicals, debris and sediment which then flows into the storm sewer system or directly to the closest body of water. This polluted water is hazardous to our watershed ecosystems, as well as to the vegetation growing in and around the water.
In Texas, dischargers with projects disturbing one or more acre, or even less than one acre if the project is part of a common plan of development, are required to obtain coverage under the General permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Construction activity is defined below.
Construction Activity
Most states are authorized to implement the Stormwater NPDES permitting program; however, the EPA remains the permitting authority in a few locations.
The Construction General permit requires that you have developed and implemented a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for your construction project if 1 acre or more, prior to construction beginning. The SWPPP should contain site maps showing the perimeter, buildings, lots, roadways, storm water collection and discharge points, general topography and drainage patterns. The maps will also need to show the location of the nearest receiving body of water. The SWPPP must list Best Management Practices (BMP’s) that will be used to protect runoff from the project. Also the SWPPP must contain an inspection program to ensure BMPs are installed correctly, are performing as intended and are in good repair.
The process follows this breakdown:
The 8 Step Process – The following steps are recommended to determine your project status.
So you can see that this a complicated business. And highly important to get it right, as the local, state and federal agencies can and do assess fines and penalties for stormwater violations. Yet another reason why it is so important to have an established, reputable firm complete your SW3P and inspections.
