Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Compliance

for Developers, Builders, and Contractors

For new construction projects with land disturbance over one acre, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be completed and approved by the Storm Water MS4 Operator. 

All projects requiring a SWPPP must also obtain an Erosion and Sediment Control permit. 

An information packet provided to applicants contains all of the necessary permit applications and compliance-related forms for each project.  The MS4 Operator is available to answer any questions you may have regarding this process at 219-926-1032.
