Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Explains how stormwater runoff picks up sediment, oil, grease, pesticides, and other pollutants as it moves across a site, what that does to waterways and aquatic life, and how a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) controls it. It covers the Clean Water Act permitting trigger for construction work, the structural and housekeeping best management practices used to hold soil and pollutants on site, and the roles a SWPPP has to assign by name.
