NPDES Stormwater Construction General Permit: SWPPPs, NOIs, and the Federal Permit Every Construction Site of an Acre or More Needs
Any construction project disturbing one or more acres of land in the United States needs coverage under an NPDES Construction General Permit before ground is broken. That means a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), a Notice of Intent (NOI), specific best management practices for erosion and sediment control, and ongoing inspection and documentation. EPA and state agencies actively enforce with substantial penalties per violation per day.
