Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans

The NPDES regulations require that a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan be written for each industrial facility that has been issued a stormwater discharge permit. A typical Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, or SWPPP, is a site-specific document witten for an individual facility. A SWPPP will include the following components:

• Site Map showing outfalls, industrial activities, exposed pollutant sources, and drainage areas
• Description of facility industrial activities
• Description of exposed industrial activities and previous spills
• Identification of Non-Stormwater Discharges
• Identification of Illicit Connections
• Procedures for eliminating non-authorized discharges
• Risk Assessment and Feasibility Study
• Description of existing stormwater management and water quality controls
• Description of proposed stormwater management and water quality controls
• Outfall Monitoring Procedures
• Training Guidelines
• Schedule of Implementation
• Required corporate signatures

Facilities with industrial-type activities, but not subject to current NPDES regulations, may desire to develop a stormwater management program to improve the runoff quality from the site or to mitigate quality or quantity-related problems. Most states issue permits to their Departments of Transportation that require a SWPPP for the DOT maintenance yards, equipment depots, and salt storage barns. General Aviation airports and National Guard facilities (e.g., OMS, MATES, RTS) should obtain Permits and develop SWPPPs.
