What is it?
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Planning (SWPPP or SWP3) is the process of developing and implementing a plan to prevent stormwater runoff from polluting waters of the United States.
Who needs one?
SWPPPs are required for construction sites that disturb one acre or more of land. They are also recommended for industrial facilities, municipal facilities, and other sites that are potential sources of stormwater pollution. Here's a few examples of companies/industries who might need one:
- Construction companies
- Pipeline ROW service companies
- Field service companies
- Equipment repair facilities
- Manufacturing facilities
- Chemical storage and processing plants
- Processing, refining, and other plants
I don't have one, should I be worried?
Yes. Here's a few reasons why:
- Environmental fines
- Cleanup costs
- Reputation damage
- Legal fees
- Increased insurance premiums
- Lost business opportunities
- Reduced property value
