With the passage of amendments to the Federal Clean Water Act in 1987, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) was required to
implement a program to regulate the discharge of storm water from
construction activities under the National  Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES). With the advent of NPDES Phase II in 2003, additional
construction projects became regulated. Since the release of the first
construction general permit in the early 1990s, engineers, reviewers, and
construction contractors have struggled to understand and comply with EPA
requirements. The EPA has continued to revise and develop the
permit program by issuing subsequent regulations, permits, and guidance
documents. As enforcement of Clean Water Act violations increase at
construction sites, those responsible for compliance need to understand
what they must do in order to avoid stiff penalties and to keep neighboring
streams and properties clean. A good way to avoid these costly penalties
and delays to a construction  project is to prepare and implement a
complete Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
