Stormwater runoff is generated when precipitation from rain and snowmelt flows over land and impervious surfaces and does not percolate into the ground. It accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment and other pollutants that could adversely affect water quality if the runoff is discharged untreated. Current regulations apply to construction projects that disturb greater than one acre of land, add more than 5,000 square feet of impervious area (buildings, driveways, patios, etc.) listed in the regulations.
A stormwater permit requires regular weekly inspections and reporting of the status of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction (or during a shutdown of construction). It also requires inspections before and after a rain event, as well as every 24-hours during the rain event. This ensures any issues that may come up are handled as quickly as possible to avoid contamination or sediment breaches of your BMP devices.
What to expect:
What to expect:
We will perform weekly inspections of your construction site, evaluating the effectiveness of installed BMPs, and Stormwater mitigation compliance. The inspections will be summarized in a Report and Images with areas that need to be addressed.
We will generate a Quarterly Report and submit it to you for review, and an Annual Report to the State Water Resources Control Board.
We will generate a Rain Event Action Plan (REAP) for each rain event as required by the Permit. This will document the required steps to perform prior to the rain event.
The required annual on-site personnel training can be performed by us (optional). Our team will conduct in-person training (ranging from 1 hour to 3 hours) for one or more of your employees and contractors. It's crucial since it trains the contractors who will implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). In the SWPPP, you must document the training even if you don't get it directly from us.
