Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a detailed strategy designed to prevent pollutants from stormwater runoff, especially during construction or development activities. It outlines specific practices and procedures to control sediment, chemicals, and debris that could wash into local water sources. The goal is to protect water quality by reducing pollutants before they enter streams, lakes, or rivers. SWPPPs are required by environmental regulations and help ensure construction sites operate responsibly, minimizing environmental impact while maintaining compliance with legal standards.
