NPDES permit and SWPPP
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System is the Clean Water Act permit program for discharges to surface waters, including construction stormwater from sites disturbing one acre or more. Coverage under a construction general permit requires a stormwater pollution prevention plan, or SWPPP, describing erosion controls, inspections and practices on site. Many states administer the program with their own requirements.
