Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) INSERT PROJECT NAME Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Template To be covered under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Construction General Permit (CGP), all construction operators are required to develop a “Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan” (or “SWPPP”) prior to submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for permit coverage. EPA created this SWPPP Template to help you develop a SWPPP that is compliant with the minimum requirements of Part 7 of EPA’s 2022 Construction General Permit (“2022 CGP”), and is customizable to your specific project and site. Instructions for Using the SWPPP Template Each section of the SWPPP Template includes instructions and space for your project and site information. Read the instructions for each section before you complete that section. Specific instructions on what information to include is indicated in each text field in blue text. Click on the blue text and the instructions will disappear once you start typing. The SWPPP Template is an editable document file so that you can easily add tables and additional text and delete unneeded or non-applicable fields. Note that some sections may require only a brief description while others may require several pages of explanation. The following tips for using this template will help ensure that you meet the minimum permit requirements:  Read the 2022 CGP thoroughly before you begin preparation of your SWPPP to ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit’s underlying requirements. You will also need to consult Part 9 of the permit to determine if your State or Tribe has included additional requirements that affect you.  Complete the SWPPP prior to submitting your NOI for permit coverage. This is required in Parts 1.4 and 7.1.  If you prepared a SWPPP under a previous version of EPA’s CGP, you must update your SWPPP to ensure that the 2022 CGP requirements are addressed prior to submitting your NOI.  If there is more than one construction operator for your project, consider coordinating development of your SWPPP with the other operators.  Once EPA has provided your site with coverage under the CGP, include your NOI, your authorization email, and a copy of the CGP as attachments to the SWPPP. See Appendices B and C of the SWPPP Template. While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions contained in the SWPPP Template, it is the permit, not the template, that determines the actual obligations of regulated construction stormwater discharges. In the event of a conflict between the SWPPP Template and any corresponding provision of the 2022 CGP, you must abide by the requirements in the permit. EPA welcomes comments on the SWPPP Template at any time and will consider those comments in any future revision of this document.
