New Storm Water Plan Template From EPA

The following comes from EPA, which has put out a template for preparing storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) for construction sites.  The WV DEP, not EPA, is responsible for storm water permitting in West Virginia, and has its own permit, which is based on EPA's prior permit for storm water from construction activity. This template will not, by itself, allow you to prepare a  SWPPP that is acceptable to DEP, but it represents a good start and provides helpful information.

Template for Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans Available Online EPA has posted a new template for construction operators to use in developing stormwater pollution prevention plans, which  are site-specific documents  required as part of EPA's new 2012 Construction General Permit.  The template is designed to help construction operators develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan that is compliant with the minimum requirements of the new permit.  The template allows operators to customize the document to the needs of the site, and includes tables and other fields that are easy to fill out.  For questions about the template, or the permit in general, please send inquiries to CGP@epa.gov.
